26、C. recoveredD . lear ned20. A.chancesB . pleasuresC. dreamsD . services【语篇解读】本文描述了一只小鸡为了生存与各种困难顽强抗争的故事。1. 解析：选C。根据下文中的 When we saved her"的提示可知，她是被从农场救出来的140只小鸡 中的一只。raise"提起，养育 ”；purchase"购买"；rescue"营救"；collect "收集"。2. 解析：选D。根据空前的 she was tiny and sick"可知

27、，小鸡生病了而且还很弱小，故此处是说她似乎不太可能活下来。hopeful "有希望的”；proper "恰当的”；possible "可能的” ;unlikely "不大可能的”。3. 解析：选B。根据 many of the chickens were sick "可判断出，因为没有得到适当的照顾，很多小鸡才会生病甚至一些不幸死亡。touch "触摸"；care "照顾"；gift "礼物"；partner "搭档"。4. 解析：选A。参见上题解析。sadly &

28、quot;不幸地”；angrily "愤怒地”；coldly “冷漠地"；calmly "平 静地”。5. 解析：选 C。根据下文的Luckily another mother "以及 Aurora had lost two moms "可以推断，第一个母亲遗弃了她和她的兄弟姐妹们。punish "惩罚"；refuse "拒绝"；abandon "遗弃"；scold "责口口”骂 。6 .解析：选A。幸运的是，另外一个母亲决定照顾他们。take on "决定做，承担

29、"；put forward "提 出"；look after "照顾"；bring about "导致"。7解析：选A。根据下文“她比她的兄弟姐妹们长得慢”可知，此处是说她看起来是最后一个得到(get)食物和关心的。&解析：选B。根据本文第一句提到的 “ small stature(身高)”以及上一句提到的 last to _7_ food and attention"可以判断，Aurora生长的速度慢于她的兄弟姐妹们，所以个子小。 cost "成本"；rate "速 度&qu

30、ot;；standard “标准"；value “价值"。9. 解析：选D。根据上文的叙述可知，Aurora的生活不如意，因此一切似乎都在和她作对。aga in st "逆，反对 ”，符合语境。10. 解析：选C。Aurora已经失去了两个妈妈，她需要努力找栖身之处。struggle "拼搏，努力”，符合语境。11. 解析：选B。此处与上一段相呼应，她在努力寻找之后，终于(eventually)找到了安慰。12. 解析：选D。虽然找到了安身之处，可是Margaret因为年老而死去了。此空前后之间在意思上 是转折关系，因此选连词 but。13. 解析：选A

31、。 Aurora每天晚上都到同样的地方去陪伴Margaret。此处用same表示她的执着。same "同样的 ” ；releva nt "有关的 ” ；similar "类似的 ” ；no rmal "正常的”。14. 解析：选C。甚至当别的小鸡推开她时，她会再回来。 still “仍然” ；thus “因此”；even “甚至 ”； yet“ 然而 ”。15. 解析： 选 D 。参见上题解析。 push away 意为 “ 推开 ”。16. 解析：选 B。根据文章的第一句“Don 'let Aurora ' small stature(

32、身高)fool you her spirit is strong ”可知，我们为Aurora只要活着的热情而感到惊讶。nervous "紧张的”；amazed "惊奇的”；excited "兴 奋的，激动的 ”； disappointed “失望的 ”。17. 解析：选D。没有什么能使她停下来。help "帮助"；attract吸引"；impress "给留下深刻印象 ”； stop“ 停止 ”。18 .解析：选A。综合上文，生活对于 Aurora来说一直是艰难的，所以当生活似乎很艰难时，你可 以想想她的遭遇。tough &

33、quot;艰难的，棘手的” ；different “不同的”；smooth "顺利的” ；boring "无 趣的，乏味的 ”。19. 解析：选C。本句话的三个并列谓语都是Aurora的经历，所以选择recovered与from seriousill nesses"搭配。20. 解析：选B。尽管尝尽生活的艰辛，Aurora却得到了生活给予她的简单的甜蜜的乐趣，即后面所说的 “ safety， food ， warmth and good friendships ”。 chance“ 机会 ”； pleasure“ 乐事 ”； dream“ 梦 想"；service "服务"。IV .短文改错Hi Thomas，How is everything with you recently?
