52、信他们会比别人更懂得珍惜这所房子，最终以比别人更低的价格卖给了他们。文章主题鲜明，语言质朴无华，通俗易懂，可读性强，作者以个人的经历为主线，按照时间顺序，利用情境的交替，夹叙夹议，传递了真诚带来友善的真实情感，突出了积极的价值取向。16. b【解析】考查形容词辨析以及对语境的理解。作者在开头首句提到：“我和我的未婚夫为能购买我们的第一个新的家庭住房而感到兴奋”，但在but后话锋一转，说到“在我们的出价范围内的房子没一个能令人觉得满意”，结合上下文合理的逻辑推断设空处的语义只能是：“我们资金有限”，应选b.limited(有限)，而a、c、d均不合句意。17. a【解析】考查动词辨析以及对语境的

53、理解。设空所在句的主语是“one agent(一个房产销售代理商)”，从本段下文“she kept urging us to have a look”和后面的叙述可知，这位房产代理商仅是向作者和她的未婚夫特别“推荐”一处房子，而非“装修”、“售出”或“出租”该处房子，a项“recommended”与上下文语境相符，为正确答案。18. c【解析】考查介词辨析以及对语境的理解。设空处前半句话说：“尽管她对房子的描述听起来很棒”，但后半句又提到：“我们还是拒绝了”，可推知这所房子的价格依然“超出了”我们出价的范围，所以这里正确答案应选c“beyond(超越)”。19. a【解析】考查短语搭配以及对语

54、境的理解。设空所在句的意思是：“她一直敦促我们至少该去看一看那所房子”。a. “at least(至少；最起码)”，表示让步转折，与上文的“but”相呼应，符合上下文语境，为正确答案。20. c【解析】考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解。设空所在句的意思是：“我们终于去看了那所房子，并在第一眼就爱上了它。”英语中“love at first sight”为固定词组，是“一见钟情”的意思，符合上下文语境，故c为正确答案。21. b【解析】考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解。作者在文章第三段提到非常喜爱这所房子“我们的家就该是这个样子，小巧而迷人，俯瞰一个安静的湖。”作者在设空所在句中描述道：“我们一边穿过房

55、间，一边和业主，一对和善的老夫妇聊着天，同时感受到了家庭里婚姻的温暖和 _。”显然空白处所填的词应与连词and前的warmth意义相近。b (幸福)填在这里最能与其形成并列呼应，为正确答案。22. d【解析】考查连接词辨析及对语境的理解。设空所在句的意思是：“但是每一天，我们都会坐在湖边，看着那座房子，梦想着住在那里会是一种什么样的感觉”。根据句子语法结构，设空处缺一个能引导介词of后。面的宾语从句的连接词，同时本身又在从句中担任介词like的宾语，连接代词what符合要求，为正确答案。23. b【解析】考查名词辨析以及对语境的理解。根据后半句“far below the asking pri

56、ce”可推断出作者是在这里提出了一个买房的报价，英语中“make an offer”是“出价”的意思，符合上下文语境；文章下一段中间部分的“we made our final offer”一句，使用了几乎相同的词语表达，也为此题提供很好的后位提示，故b为最佳答案。24. d【解析】考查固定搭配以及对语境的理解。由于设空前一句提到作者提出的报价“远低于要价”，不难想象这一行为很容易被房主视为荒唐可笑，但作者使用“surprisingly(令人惊讶地)”一词暗示一种出乎，预料的结果“房主却并没有 _ 我们”，四个选项中能最符合逻辑地填在空白处的只能是“laugh at(嘲笑；讥笑)”，而其他几个选项均与上下文语义相差甚远，故d为正确答案。25. a【解析】考查副词辨析及对语境的理解。上一空提到房主并未讥笑他们，设空所在句意为：“他们重新提出要价”，这是与前面完全相反的行为，四个选项中，只有a选项“instead(反之)”符合上下文逻辑关系，故为正确答案。26. c【解析】考查形容词
