B．Celebrate.C．Prepare. D．Broadcast.D解析：詞義猜測題。根據第二段第一句，結合該段第二句中Abigail所說的話“AnywaywecangetconnectedthroughtheInternet.Seemeonyourphoneonmyspot.”可知，Abigail安慰“我”說“我們”可以用互聯網聯系，“我”可以用看到畢業典禮上的她；據此可以判斷，Abigail建議我們在家庭成員中直播這件事。故畫線詞意為“直播”，D項正確。3．HowdidAbigailfeelwhenmeetingtheauthor?A．Embarrassed. B．Overjoyed.C．Nervous. D．Satisfied.B解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段中Abigail說的話可知，Abigail沒有想到“我”會出現在畢業典禮上，非常激動；據此可以判斷，在畢業典禮上見到“我”，Abigail極為高興，B項意為“極為高興的”，符合語境，故B項正確。4．Whatdoestheauthormainlyintendtoexpressbytellingthestory?A．Asoldier’spersonalsacrifice.B．Afather’sloveforhisfamily.C．Themeaningoffamilybond.D．Thewaytoplanabigsurprise.C解析：目的意圖題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了“我”為大女兒制造驚喜的故事，旨在表達家庭關系的意義，故C項正確。eq\a\vs4\al(Ⅲ)完形填空WhenHeatherMcHugh,apoet,wonaD|S500，000“geniusgrant”fromtheMacArthurFoundation,shedidn’tbuyaluxuriouscarorflytoParis.__1__，sheputthemoneyinthebankand__2__writingpoems.In2011,shefinally__3__whattodowithit.Thatyear,Heather’sgodsonandhiswife__4__theirfirstchild,abeautifulbabygirlbutseverelydisabled.“Isawhowpeople’s__5__canchangeovernight.Istartedthinkingaboutpeopleina__6__situation，”saysHeather.She__7__thereweremillionsofcaregiverstakingcareofthechronically(慢性地)illordisabled.Soin2012,Heather__8__anonprofitorganizationofferingaseven－dayvacation,withall__9__paid,topeoplewhohavebeencaregiversforatleasttenyears.Triciawasoneofthefirstcaregiverstogoonvacation.WhenTriciagotacallsayingshewasoffereda__10__vacation,shecouldn’t__11__it;disbeliefeven__12__herconcernaboutleavinghertwokids.Triciawent,andherfavoritepartsofthetripweretoenjoythe__13__things.“Igottoeathotfoodhotandcoldfoodcold.IcouldgotobedwhenIwantedtoandwakeupwheneverIchoseto，”saysTricia.Shewasafraidthe__14__wouldreturnwhenthe__15__wasover,buttohersurprise,ithasn’tbeenbacksince.HeathersaysTricia’s__16__resemblesthoseoftheothertencaregiversshehelpseveryyear.“Beforethevacationtheyareso__17__，butthe__18__issoamazing.Theyreflectandrelax.Itfeels__19__likeanotherworldandgivesthemachancetoseetheirlivesfromanother__20__，”sheadds.【解題導語】本文是一篇記敘文。HeatherMcHugh利用自己的五十萬美元獎金建立非營利組織，為照顧慢性病患者和殘疾人的護理員提供免費休假，讓他們到新的環境中，從不一樣的角度來看待他們的人生。1．A.However B．ThereforeC．Instead D．BesidesC解析：根據空處前一句中的“shedidn’tbuyaluxuriouscarorflytoParis”可知，在獲得了五十萬美元的獎金后，她并沒有購買汽車或去旅游；結合該句中的“sheputthemoneyinthebank”可知，反而，她將這些錢存入銀行。C項意為“而是，反而”，符合語境；however“然而”；therefore“因此”；besides“此外”。2．A.continued B．quittedC．practiced D．startedA解析：根據前一句中的“apoet”，結合該句中的“sheputthemoneyinthebankand______writingpoems”可知，她(這位詩人)獲獎后，將獎金存進銀行，繼續(continued)寫詩。quit“停止”；practice“實踐，訓練”。3．A.thoughtover B．wonderedC．talkedabout D．decidedD解析：根據下文中的“Heather______anonprofitorganizationofferingaseven－dayvacation”可知，此處表示在2011年，她終于決定如何使用這筆錢。thinkover“仔細考慮”；wonder“想知道，好奇”；talkabout“談到，談論”。decide“決定”符合語境。4．A.held B．weledC．lost D．savedB解析：Heather的教子和他的妻子迎來了他們的第一個孩子，一個漂亮的女嬰，但是有嚴重的殘疾。hold意為“握著，舉行”；lose意為“失去”；save意為“拯救，節約”。wele“迎接”符合語境。5．A.feelings B．futureC．lives D．routineC解析：根據語境，并結合上文中提到的Heather的教子和他的妻子生下了一個殘疾的女嬰可知，Heather看到了人的生活(lives)是如何在一夜之間發生改變的。routine“慣例，常規”。6．A.different B．similarC．worse D．betterB解析：根據上文提到的Heather的教子和他的妻子生下了一個殘疾女嬰并且Heather看到了人的生活是如何在一夜之間發生改變的可知，Heather開始關注那些有相似(similar)境遇的人。7．A.discovered B．claimedC．admitted D．feltA解析：她發現有數百萬照顧慢性病患者和殘疾人的護理員。discover“發現”；claim“宣稱；斷言”；admit“承認”。8．A.donated B．foundC．visited D．formedD解析：因此Heather在2012年建立了一個非營利組織，為那些成為護理員至少十年的人提供七天免費(free)休假。form“建立，組成”符合語境。donate“捐贈”；find“發現”；visit“參觀”。9．A.taxes B．salaryC．expenses D．rentC解析：參見上題解析。tax“稅”；salary“薪水”；rent“租金”。expense“花費”符合語境。10．A.free B．caringC．short D．longA解析：free“免費的”。11．A.believe B．takeC．refuse D．enjoyA解析：根據空后的“disbelief”可知，Tricia不相信她獲得了一個免費休假這件事。A項意為“相信”，符合語境。12．A.woke B．defeatedC．showed D．movedB解析：根據下一段中的“Triciawent,andherfavoritepartsofthetripweretoenjoy”可知，Tricia接受了免費休假這件事情，由此可知，她對免費休假的懷疑(和向往)打敗(defeated)了對于留下孩子們的擔憂。wake“醒來”；show“展示”；move“移動”。13．A.wonderful B．deliciousC．peaceful D．simpleD解析：根據空后的“Igotto...Ichoseto”可知，Tricia在度假時所做的事情都是很普通、很簡單的(simple)事情。wonderful“精彩的，極棒的”；delicious“美味的”；peaceful“平靜的，和平的”。14．A.heaviness B．painC．sadness D．disbeliefA解析：她擔心度假結束后，自己的生活會回歸以前的沉悶，但出乎她意料的是后來的生活并沒有回到從前。根據上文可知，Tricia是一個護理員，平時的工作都是照顧病人，生活少有放松的時候，故heaviness“沉悶”符合語境。pain“傷痛”；sadness“傷心，悲傷”；disbelief“懷疑，不信任”。15．A.entertainment B．dreamC．vacation D．freedomC解析：根據第四段第一句“Triciawasoneofthefirstcaregiverstogoonvacation.”可知，選C。16．Ament B．storyC．surprise D．fortuneB解析：上文講述的是Tricia享受免費休假的故事，故B項story“故事”符合語境。17．A.worried B．confusedC．unexpected D．stressedD解析：根據上文提到的Tricia擔心度假結束后自己的生活會回歸以前的沉悶可知，D項“stressed”符合語境。18．A.award B．changeC．scenery D．acmodationB解析：根據上文可知，其他看護人員和Tricia一樣，在度假前他們的生活較為沉悶；結合后一句“Theyreflectandrelax.”可知，在度假之后，他們變得很放松。據此可知，這樣的改變令人驚訝。change意為“改變”，符合語境，故B項正確。award“獎”；scenery“風景”；acmodation“住宿”。19．A.slightly B．interestinglyC．magically D．mostlyC解析：這神奇地(magically)像是另外一個世界，并且給了他們一個從另一個角度(angle)看待他們的生活的機會。slightly“輕微地”；interestingly“有趣地”；mostly“大多地”。magically“魔法般地”符合語境。20．A.place B．situationC．height
