答案

能力提升練

I.1.seated考查非謂語動詞。本句中已有謂語areplaying,故此處應(yīng)用非謂語動詞。提示詞

seat作動詞講時，意為“向提供座位;(使)就座“，和句子主語Thegrandfatherandthefather之

間為邏輯上的被動關(guān)系,故本空應(yīng)用過去分詞形式。

2.nervously考查副詞。本空修飾動詞approaches,故應(yīng)用副詞nervously,意為“緊張地”。

3.togo考查非謂語動詞。decidetodosth.意為“決定做某事”，故本空應(yīng)用不定式。

4.on考查介詞。focuson意為“專注于...”，故本空應(yīng)用介詞on。

5.playing考查非謂語動詞。本句中的“5(play)inabandisnotajob”為賓語從句淇中

“5(play)inaband”為從句的主語。句意:父親認(rèn)為在樂隊演奏不是一份工作，他想讓他的

兒子成為一名律師,因為他認(rèn)為人們尊敬律師。這里表示習(xí)慣性的動作,應(yīng)用動名詞作主語。

6.his考查代詞。根據(jù)空后的名詞son可知，本空應(yīng)用形容詞性物主代詞。

7.before考查連詞。句意:爺爺建議他的孫子在全身心地投入之前要認(rèn)真考慮。此處表示

“在……以前"，故填beforeo

8.feel考查固定用法。jumpinwithbothfeet意為“全心全意地投入“，故本空應(yīng)用feet。

9.the考查冠詞。atthesametime意為“同時”，故本空應(yīng)填the。

10.willhave考查時態(tài)。句意:爺爺說如果他的孫子在上大學(xué)的同時演奏音樂,他的未來將有

兩個選擇。根據(jù)if從句用一般現(xiàn)在時和“主將從現(xiàn)”的原則并結(jié)合句意可知此處應(yīng)用一般將來

時。

II.A

I.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Ifyouwanttorunaway...youcanleavethesameway.”可知，作

者的母親同意他離家出走,但她認(rèn)為作者身無一物來到這個家，離開時也應(yīng)如此，便命令他留

下所有的東西，故選C。

2.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段“Thevoicebehindthedooranswered,'Billydoesn'tlive

hereanymore.Heranawayfromhome.'”可知,作者的母親心中清楚門外的人是自己的兒子，但

沒有開門,而是厲聲回應(yīng)，因此，作者的母親是嚴(yán)厲的。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Thedooropenedand

Mom'ssmilingfaceappeared.'Didyouchangeyourmindaboutrunningaway?,sheasked.(門開

了，媽媽的笑臉出現(xiàn)了?！愀淖冎饕獠怀鲎吡藛?’她問。)”可知，作者的母親對他是充滿愛的,

故選Bo

3.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第八段中“Itoremyclothesoff—shoes,socks,underwearandall”可知，

作者和媽媽生氣，脫了衣服;根據(jù)第十段中“ThenInoticeddownthestreettwo

neighboring...underthelow-hangingbranches.”可推測作者跳到低垂的樹枝下是為了避免被兩

個鄰家女孩看到,因為他感到很害羞。故選A。

4.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后兩段的敘述可推斷出作者改變了計劃，決定不再離家出走了。

其實,作者的關(guān)注點并不在“晚飯”上。故選B。

B

5.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的"Wedoourownexercisesseparately,butthenwereally

enjoyspending30—40minutesdoingsomethingwebothliketogether.”可知，作者和她的丈夫從

單獨的鍛煉開始，之后會花30到40分鐘一起做他們共同喜歡的事情。故選B。

6.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“1alsotrainwithmyfamily...makesusworkoutharder.“可

知，作者會和家人一起鍛煉，這就像家庭娛樂時間!一點點的競爭會讓他們更努力地鍛煉。根據(jù)

第二段前兩句"Laziness,asyouknow,iscontagious.Butsoisenthusiasm.”可知，作者認(rèn)為“懶惰

是會傳染的，熱情也會因此，當(dāng)作者和家人一起訓(xùn)練時，每個人都變得更加活躍。故選A。

7.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞surfing可定位到文章第三段，由該段中“Notonly

wouldwehavemorethingstodotogether,butitwouldbeagreatchallengeforme.（我們不僅會

有更多可以一起做的事情，而且這對我來說是一個巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。）”可知,作者發(fā)現(xiàn)沖浪需要大

量刻苦的學(xué)習(xí)。故選D。

8.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的敘述“如果你沒有伴侶怎么辦?我想你肯定會有一個愿意

和你一起訓(xùn)練的朋友?；蛘?，如果你有年幼的孩子,為什么不在他們玩耍時和另一位家長在后

院鍛煉呢?你只是需要一些音樂。重要的是要有一個計劃，并安排時間去做。這比你自己做

要有趣得多。“可推知，最后一段作者是在給予讀者鼓勵。故選D。

III.

1.F過渡句。根據(jù)前文“Whatcanyoudo...thepeopleyoulove?（你能做些什么來建立家庭團結(jié)?

你怎樣才能避免不了解
