参考答案
课时作业(三十八) 考查非谓语动词。过去分词作状语，其逻辑主语要和句子的主语保持一致，此处moved的逻辑主语应为the audience, 故选B项。 考查动词用法。bear后跟形式或动词不定式作宾语，且此处应该使用被动形式。若选C，应改为：to be laughed at。 句意：打开电视and/or＋陈述句”句型，其中陈述句多用一般将来时。 考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语the performance与intend是被动关系，故用过去分词。 考查动词短语辨析。call for 需要。句意：良好的健康需要有规律的锻炼和好的生活习惯。 call on 号召； call up 使想起，打电话； call off 取消。 考查动词短语辨析。句意：Jess的丈夫Bill死后，她很难过，她的朋友帮她度过了那糟糕的前几周。break through打破……的僵局；break down分解；身体垮掉；get through完成；度过；get rid of摆脱。 考查形容词辨析。从下文“我在那儿可以很容易坐上车去上学”分析，楼区拐角处的车站是“方便的”，故C项最符合题意。 考查副词词义辨析。句意：——你不常去那家C。 考查名词辨析。high expectations 意为“很高的期望”。 考查短语辨析。every now and then时而，有时。more or less 或多或少；step by step 逐步；by and by 逐渐。根据句意可知D项正确。 考查固定句型。It won't be long before…意为“不久就……”。 考查词组辨析。set out to do sth开始做某事； set off出发，动身； set up建立，设立； set in以……为背景。句意：救援人员一到事故现场就开始工作起来。 考查交际英语。shall是情态动词，用于第一人称，表示征求对方的意见。根据句意“要不要我重复一下这个句子？”可知答案选B。 考out of order，意为“出故障，有毛病”。 考查冠词的用法。第一空表示来自一个欧洲国家；第二空特指去教堂做礼拜的习惯；第三空考查短语attend church(去教堂做礼拜)。窗口可以让我们看到外面的世界。我们的心灵之窗打开之后也能让我们在困境中看到生机。 考查逻辑与动词短语辨析。病人可以“坐起来”看窗外，另外第二段最后一句话sit up意为“坐直，坐起来”； stand up意为“站起来”； set up意为“建立”； stay up意为“熬夜，不睡觉”。 考查上下文逻辑关系理解。从后文on his back看出比尔每天只能“躺着”。 考查词语搭配。service in the army意为“在部队服役”。说明两人聊起了在部队当兵的共同经历。 考查上下文关系理解。约翰向病友description提示。explain意为“解释”； complain意为“抱怨”； introduce意为“介绍”。 考查词语搭配。broadened 和 brightened相配，通过约翰的描述，比尔的世界“更开阔了”。expand指的是“发展，壮大”； affect意为“受到坏的影响”； damage意为“毁掉”，均不合题意。 考查上下文理解。从后文中Ducks played on the water可知应当是描写公园里有一个湖。 考查while引导的句式。while作连词表示前者和后者相对应。湖面上鸭子在游玩，而孩子们在开模型船。 考查上下文关系理解。in addition意为“另外”； in general意为“一般地，概括地”； in brief意为“简言之”； in detail意为“详细地”。 考查动词的运用。比尔看不imagine一词。而不是“看见”、“记得”、“认出”。 考查搭配。little by little意为“一点一点地”，修饰was recovering。 sooner or later意为“迟早”； up to now意为“直到现在”； one by one则是“一个接一个”。 考查语境中的逻辑理解。ceiling是“天花板”的意思，句意为“比尔躺在床上盯着think about意为“考虑”； stare at意为“盯着”；
hold up意为“举起”； fix on意为“选定，确定，集中”。 考查上下文逻辑关系理解。后句表明约翰死了。所以应该选择“停止咳嗽”。A 考查形容词辨析。deadly意为“致命的，破坏性的，极其的”；
dead意为“死的”； breathless意为“气喘吁吁的，喘不上气来”； aimless意为“漫无目的的”。句中修饰silence，应当用deadly，意为“非常肃静”。 考查对主旨的理解。比尔一直渴望看到窗外的风景，因此要求转到约翰的床上去，所以他“充满希望地”支起胳膊看窗外。regretfully意为“后悔地，遗憾地”； fortunately意为“幸运地”； particularly意为“特别地”；
hopefully意为“充满希望地”。 考查上下文逻辑关系理解和名词辨析。比尔满心期待，却没有看到约翰所描述的景象，应当是感to one's surprise意为“令人吃惊的是”； to one's delight意为“令人高兴的是”； to one's relief意为“令人释然的是”； to one's anger意为“令人愤怒的是”。 考查上下文关系理解。a blank wall意为“一面空白的墙”，与前面约翰的描述反差很大，符合语境。simple意为“简单的”； colored意为“有颜色的”； painted意为“油漆的”。 考查上下文关系和主旨的理解。从后文中we chose to express可以看出是“一种态度的选择”，应当用choice。consideration意为“考虑”；
expression意为“表达，表情”； practice意为“练习，实践”。A 考查上下文关系理解和词语搭配。此句意为“对幸福的选择不像每天早上送到门口的礼物……”。deliver意为“投递，送交”。 考查短语辨析和语境中的逻辑理解。rather than连接两个部分，肯定前者，否定后者。句意为“是否幸福取决于一个人的态度而不是外界的因素”。better than意为“胜过，好于”； more than意为“超过”； other than意为“除了”。 考查形容词辨析和主旨理解。只要我们选择希望，生活应该是“充满生机和活力的”。 friendly，yearly，likely均为形容词，词意分别为“友好的”、“年度的”、“可能的”，词义均不恰当。研究发现，36．C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“…a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment”，即人们在独自用餐时可以玩电脑或看电视，并不会觉得孤独，故选C。 词义猜测题。文章第三段介绍了“suppertainment”的含义，即在独自用餐的同时通过电视或电脑娱乐，故选B。 推理判断题。作者在文章第一段说独自用餐渐成风尚，字里行间透露出作者的赞成态度，最后一段借用Boyd Hilton的话进一步说明边独自吃饭边娱乐的优点。 40.problems 41.popular 42.whether 44.environment 45.it 46.activities 48.to
