【解析】

試題分析：這是一則感人的生活故事。丈夫為了關(guān)愛因遭受意外而雙目失明的妻子,起初每天護送 她上下班,繼而每天默默地跟著她,以防出現(xiàn)意外。丈夫的關(guān)愛給了她戰(zhàn)勝黑暗的決心和毅力。

1.下面一段開頭說,Susan 雙目失明已經(jīng)有一年了,由此判斷,這里表示她上公交車之后,用雙 手摸索著找座位,因此選D,表示,"觸摸,摸索"。本題考生易錯選A 項。touch:press or strike(sth./sb.)lightly, esp.with the hand 輕觸,輕碰(某物/某人);grab 攫取,抓取,奪取,霸占;count 計算,數(shù),認(rèn)為,看作, 計數(shù),有重要意義,有價值。選D

2.本段第一句交代了 Susan 雙目失明已經(jīng)一年了,因此語境表示"由于一場事故,她突然被拋 進了黑暗的世界"。weakness 軟弱;sickness 疾病;sadness 悲傷。選C

3.Susan 的丈夫 Mark 看著自己的妻子陷入絕望的狀態(tài),于是決定想盡一切辦法來幫助她。sink into sth.(不用于被動語態(tài)):go into (a less active or happy state)"陷入(消極、不活躍或不愉快的狀態(tài))",符 合語境。run into 偶然遇到,途中遭遇(惡劣天氣等);jump into 跳進;step into 走進去,步入。選B

4.根據(jù)語境,丈夫看見妻子由于意外事故而雙目失明并且對生活感到絕望,此時的他當(dāng)然是要下 定決心,采取一切辦法幫助妻子,因此選B。be determined to do sth.下定決心做某事。

5.由空后 her job 及"她怎么能到那里呢",可知本空表示 Susan 決心重返工作崗位,因此選 A。return:come or go back to a place 回,返回。

6.結(jié)合語境看,Susan 突然雙目失明,此時的她面對生活的變故,自然是驚魂未定,因此選D, frightened 恐懼的,害怕的,受驚的。此時的她不是感到疲倦(tired),也不是感到驚訝、吃驚(astonished)。 C項depressed"憂愁的,消沉的,沮喪的"不如D 項更符合她突然失去光明時茫然與無助的心態(tài)。

7.她的丈夫主動陪伴她乘坐公交車上下班。這里用 volunteer to do sth.表示"自愿地或無償?shù)亟o 予或提供(幫助、建議等)"。attempt to do sth.試圖/企圖/試做某事,用于過去時往往含有該動作失敗的含 義;continue to do sth.繼續(xù)做某事,不符合語境,因為是妻子出現(xiàn)這樣的情況之后 Mark 才這樣做的;struggle 表示"掙扎",不符合語境中對丈夫主動關(guān)心妻子的敘述。故選A。

8.從語境的連貫看,這里用 until 引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句表示"直到為止"。Mark 每天早上陪妻 子上班,晚上陪妻子下班回家,直到她能獨自坐公交車上下班。選C

9.根據(jù)上文,丈夫 Mark 每天早晚都要陪妻子一起坐公交車(ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening),因此這里用 accompany 表示"陪伴,陪同"。其他選項的主要含義:drive 開車;direct指導(dǎo),引導(dǎo);send 派遣。選C

10.妻子雙目失明,此時丈夫就教妻子如何利用其他感官的功能。用 sense 表示"感官",包括視 覺、聽覺、嗅覺、味覺和觸覺。如:the five senses 五種感官;have a keen sense of hearing 聽覺靈敏。A項意為"情感,感覺";B 項意為"器官";C 項意為"技巧"。選D

11.結(jié)合語境看,本題選B 表示"環(huán)境"。他教給她如何依靠自己其他的感官能力,特別是她的聽 覺,以此來判斷自己在什么地方,以及如何適應(yīng)她所在的新環(huán)境。position 位置,方位,地點;status狀態(tài),地位,情形;role 角色。這三者都不符合語境。選B

12.她最終決定在雙目失明的情況下,不要丈夫陪伴而獨自試著去上下班。(all) on one's own:① alone 獨自,如:I'm all on my own today.今天我是獨自一人。She lives on her own.她獨自過日子。②without help or supervision;alone 獨自地,單獨地,如:He can be left to work on his own.工作可交給他一個人去做。 其他選項的含義不符合語境。in person:physically present 親身,親自,本人;to one's benefit 對某人有利; on foot 步行。選A。

13.對Susan 來說,為盲人的她要第一次試著獨自出門乘坐公交車,是一個特殊的事情,因此 她眼里含著感激的淚水"緊緊地"擁抱丈夫。A 項意為"有禮貌地";B 項意為"冷靜地";C 項意為"簡 短地",都不符合語境。選D。

14.根據(jù)語境可知"妻子這次要獨自一人乘坐公交車",因此本題選 B,表示"分別,各自"。他 們說了一聲再見,然后各自去上班。separate:forming a unit by itself;existing apart 單獨存在的,分開的。 opposite 相反的;fixed 固定的;lonely 孤獨的,均不符合語境。選B。

15.從此,Susan 每天都能獨自乘車上下班了,她充滿了興奮的感覺。take hold of"抓住,拿住, 握住(某人/某物)",這里表示"興奮的感覺籠罩著她"。take charge of (sth.)控制或掌管(某事物),承擔(dān)(某事 物的)責(zé)任;B 項是錯誤搭配,應(yīng)該是 take the place of (取代,代替)或 take place (發(fā)生);C項take advantage of sth./sb.:①make use of sth.well,properly,etc.充分利用;②make use of sb./sth.unfairly or deceitfully to get what one wants;exploit sb./sth.(為達(dá)到個人目的而不正當(dāng)?shù)鼗虿焕蠈嵉?利用某人或某事物。選D。

16.有一個星期五的早晨,Susan 和往常一樣坐公交車去上班。as usual 與往常一樣;as a rule按規(guī)定;as well 也;as a consequence 因此,結(jié)果。根據(jù)語境選A。

17.從下文這位司機所說的話判斷選 B,表示"羨慕,嫉妒"。司機說,"這位小姐,我好羨慕你 啊。"A 項意為"尊敬";C 項意為"知道,認(rèn)識";D 項意為"支持",都不符合語境。選B。

18.在下公交車的時候,司機突然說了這樣一句話,這讓 Susan 不明白是什么意思,就問司機為 什么要這樣說。這里用why 表示"為什么"。選C。

19.本句的謂語動詞使用了現(xiàn)在完成進行時,表示延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在的動作,因此這里選A,"在過去的 一…里",用"in/for/during the last/past+一段時間"表示"在過去的多長時間里"。B 項意為"同樣的,相 同的",不符合語境;選C 項意為"在第一個星期",選D 項意為"在下個星期",均與主句謂語動詞的時 態(tài)不相符。故選A。

20.她雖然失去了光明,但是丈夫給予她的禮物比她所失去的光明更堅強有力:這是丈夫的愛的禮物,這份禮物能驅(qū)趕黑暗,帶來光明。選C。
