Question

F

     Last year,around Labor Day,I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home,who was 1 her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to 2 it. It said that if you wanted to write to her,here was her 3 . So I did. I found

a birthday card and wrote a short note,wishing her a happy birthday.

     A week or so later,someone 4 my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man 5 on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to 6 I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending 7 nice card to his mom. Apparently,like many older folks,she did not receive much mail and was quite 8 to receive mine. I just didn't know 9 to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I 10 his mom had enjoyed her birthday.

     That year,I did not send out any Christmas cards except to this 11 old lady in the nursing home. I just 12 her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a holiday 13 and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her,to get some mail.

     She 14   a couple of months ago. I never met this lady,but I did 15  her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy. I hoped that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on Earth.

Answer 1

F 閱讀提示：本文主要講述了為了給一位老人過90歲生日，她的 家人在當(dāng)?shù)氐膱蠹埳系橇艘粍t特殊的廣告，“我”按照報紙上登的地 址給老人寫了一封信，收到了意想不到的效果。

1. B hold意為“堅持”;celebrate意為“慶祝”;have意為“擁有”;join 意為“加入”。此處表示“慶祝她的90歲生日”，故正確答案選 3項_。

2. A know about 意為“了解，知道”；care about 意為“關(guān)心” ;think about意為“考慮”;worry about意為“擔(dān)心”。由句意“她的家人想 讓每個人都知道這件事”可知答案為A項。

3. A address意為“地址”；phone意為“電話”；house意為“房子”； name意為“名字”。句意為“上面說如果你想給她寫信，這是她的 地址”，故選A項。

4. C look at意為“看”;shout at意為“對......大喊”；knock at意為“敲”;point at意為“指向”。根據(jù)句意“大約一周后，有人敲了我的 前門”可知答案為C項。

5. D句意為“我打開門發(fā)現(xiàn)一個中年人正站在臺階上”。find sb. doing sth.的意思是“發(fā)現(xiàn)某人在做某事”，故選D項。

6. B句意為“他自我介紹說他是我送給卡片的這位女士的兒子”。this woman是定語從句的先行詞，to是介詞，只能使用whom來 作定語從句的賓語。因此，答案選擇B項。

7. C此處表示“一張如此漂亮的卡片”，使用such a nice card或者 so nice a card ,故選 C項。

8. A excited 意為“興奮的”;disappointed 意為“失望的”;relaxed 意 為“放松的'bored意為“無聊的”。由句意“她收到了我的卡片， 感到相當(dāng)興奮”可知答案為A項。

9. D句意為“我不知道該說什么”。what作動詞say的賓語，符合 邏輯，故選D項。

10. C know意為“知道”;want意為“想要”;hope意為“希望”;need 意為“需要”。根據(jù)句意“我希望他媽媽生日快樂”可知答案為 C項。

11. C friendly意為“友好的”;lively意為“活潑的”;lovely意為“可 愛的”;really意為“真正地”。此處表示“這位可愛的老太太”，故選C項。

12. A tell意為“告訴”;miss意為“錯過，想念”;think意為“認(rèn)為”； answei.意為“回答”。句意為“我只是告訴她我想她了，希望她有 一個美好的假日”，故選A項。

13. B cake意為“蛋糕”；card意為“卡片”；mail意為“郵件”； message意為“消息”。聯(lián)系上下文可以得知此處指“我給了她一 張卡片”，故選B項。

14. C death是名詞;dead是形容詞;die是動詞。根據(jù)句意“她兩個 月前去世了”可知此處應(yīng)該使用動詞die,時態(tài)為一般過去時。因 此，答案選擇C項。

15. D attend意為“參加”;forget意為“忘記'organize意為“組織”_; keep意為“保留，保持”。由句意為“我從未見過這位老人，但是 我將她和她的家人保留在我思想的深處”可知答案為D項。
