試題分析:文章講述了“我”做為一名郵遞員一時的疏忽把信給送錯了,收到信的這個女士把信送到了它真正的主人的手里,碰巧的是兩個人都是單身,從此他們都對對方有了感情。正是我的大意成就了兩個人的結合,成就了一樁幸福的婚姻。
1.B考查名詞的詞義。句意為:七年前的一天,我開車去一個郵箱。telephone 電話; mailbox 郵箱,郵筒;school 學校;shop 商店。由前文我是一個郵遞員可知這里是去信箱。
2.A考查名詞詞義。句意為:一個離了婚的年輕女士站在路邊正在等我,她說要給我講個故事。Story故事;notice通知,通告; fact真相,事實; message消息,信息。從下文來看,應是一個故事。
3.B考查副詞詞義。句意為:大約在六個月前。after adv 在---之后;earlier adv 更早,早在---之前;later adv 后來;ago adv在---之前。 One day several years ago是七年前的事情,由此可知,這個女士告訴我的應該是在此之前的六個月,所以應為更早之前。故答案應為B
4.C考查動詞詞義。句意為:我郵遞給她了一封信,上面有她的街道號。sent 送,派遣;written 寫; delivered 郵遞;given 給。因為我是一句郵遞員,所以這里應為郵遞的意思,答案應為C。
5.D考查名詞詞義。 句意為:上面有她的街道號。這里下文的第六個空number是一個提示。mark 標志,符號; sign跡象,記號;board 木板,甲板; number 數(shù),號碼。
6.C考查形容詞詞義。句意為:街道號相同而街道的名字不同,所以有相同的街道號,正是這一點,作者把信給送錯了。correct adj 正確的; wrong adj 錯誤的; same adj 相同的;different adj 不同的。
7.B考查動詞短語的含義。句意:她決定把這封信給正確的主人送過去。put down 鎮(zhèn)壓,記下;drop off 放下,放棄;hand out 分發(fā),施舍;give away 泄露。這里是把這封信送去。
8.D考查動詞短語的意思。句意為:這封信正是給Johnson的。provided 提供,供給;prepared為---做準備;inferred 推測出的;intended打算為---所用,預定給---。所以答案應為D。
9.B考查短語的含義。句意為:這個人正好也是單身。free adj 自由的;single adj 單一的,單身的;lonely adj 寂寞的;simple adj 簡單的。所以應為B。
10.C考查動詞詞義。句意為:后來,他就打電話給她,然后他們就開始約會。left 離開; invited邀請;called 打電話; introduced 介紹。由后面的約會可知先是打電話溝通,而不是邀請。
11.A考查動詞短語的含義。句意從那時起,他們開始一起外出。go out 外出;go in參加,放得進; go away走開;go off 離開,動身。
12.B考查形容詞的詞義。句意為:我為我的送錯信而抱歉,但我高興的是我把這兩個人聚在了一起。amazed adj 令人吃驚的; pleased adj 令人高興的; surprised adj 令人吃驚的 interested adj 使人感興趣的。
13.D考查短語的含義。句意為:幾個月之后, 一個“出售”的牌子在Christy的院子里掛了起來。
On sale 廉價出售,這里文中沒有反映出是廉價出售;for sale 出售,待售。
14.C考查名詞詞義。句意為:發(fā)出了婚禮的請柬。arrangements 安排,布置;preparation 準備;invitations 邀請,請柬;announcements通知,通告。這里sent out發(fā)出去的應該是請柬。
15.B考查連詞詞義。句意為:婚禮舉行了,順其自然的是Christy和她的孩子們搬到了Johnson的家里,這是指順承關系。
16.D考查代詞的詞義。句意為:幾個月之后,我在他們的院子里又看到了一個待售的牌子。因為他們搬到了一起。所以應為他們。
17.C考查名詞詞義。句意為:我害怕,他們的婚姻出現(xiàn)了危機。friendship n 友誼;connection n聯(lián)系,關系;marriage n 婚姻;wedding 婚禮。他們已經(jīng)結過婚了,由此應知為婚姻。答案為C。
18.C考查名詞詞義。句意為:我就找了借口去看一下他們出了什么問題。apology n 道歉;
trouble n 麻煩;excuse n 借口,托辭; regret n 遺憾,后悔。
19.A考查動詞詞義。check vt 查,核查;examine vt 檢測,調查;test vt 測試; try vt 嘗試,努力;這里是指,我找個借口要去看看到底是不是婚姻出現(xiàn)了問題。所以check比較合適。
20.D考查動詞詞義。句意:我們有了一對雙胞胎,房子太小了,不得不搬家。change vt 改變,改換;settle vt定居;separate vt 分開;move vt 轉移,搬家。
考點: 考查故事類文章的理解及詞匯的辨析。
