　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者一家出门参加婚礼，由于准备工作做得不够，使得孩子们在班车上冻得睡不着，一个素不相识的老太太递过来的毛毯让作者一家感受到了温暖。

　　1．B　本空后面的宾语从句不是劝说、建议类的信息，而是在叙述一个客观事实：所罗门群岛很热，因此用tell表示“告诉，告知”。若选A项，则应用主动语态。

　　2．C　因为被告知那里很热，所以作者就装了很多夏天穿的衣服。pack表示“收拾(行李)，装(箱)”，符合语境。

　　3．A　本空与后面的for相呼应，因此选left。leave for表示“前往”。

　　4．D　既然是坐去机场的班车，那么我们就是去赶飞机的，因此选D项。

　　5．B　语境说车上很冷，所以我们和孩子们依偎在一起，这样是为了让他们感到温暖，因此选B项。

　　6．B　车上不断有乘客上下车，我们也没有太注意他们。take notice表示“注意”。

　　7．C　语境说太冷了，孩子们睡不着，因此选C，表示“没有真正休息的”。

　　8．D　这个老太太拿出一条护膝毛毯。hold out表示“拿出，递出”，符合语境。

　　9．B　孩子们很冷，此时有人拿给他们毛毯，他们自然是很急切地接了过去，因此选B。

　　10．A　这里用介词around“围绕，在……周围”，描述的是孩子把毯子披在身上的动作。

　　11．C　有了这条毯子，孩子们暖和多了，于是他们开始打盹。nod off表示“打瞌睡”，符合语境。

　　12．D　语境说“我”要把毛毯还给这个老太太，因此她应该比我们先下车，故选before引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”。

　　13．B　前面说孩子们裹着毛毯睡着了，而“我”要把毛毯打开还给老太太，因此这里用unwrap表示“打开，解开”。

　　14．A　老太太让“我”留着毛毯，因此用keep，表示“保留”。

　　15．C　根据语境可知，这里应用symbol表示“象征，标志”。这条毛毯成为陌生人传递友爱的象征。

　　16．B　这条毛毯是手工制作的，颜色也是精心挑选的，凝聚了主人的心血，可是主人却把它留给了我们，这里用part with sth. 表示“舍弃，交出(尤指不舍得的东西)”。

　　17．A　空处与后面的“there is goodness”对应，与前面的“bad”呼应，故应选A，表示“残忍的”。

　　18．C　这条毛毯却在提醒“我”，这个世界上还有善良存在。这里用reminder表示“提醒物”。第20空前的reminder是线索提示。

　　19．D　从后文可知，这里表示作者一直心存感激。故选grateful“感激的”。

　　20．A　这条毛毯让孩子们免受寒冷，也让“我”见证了人们的善良。因此选A项。
