23、晚上是个寻求冒险刺激的人。所以作者的父亲喜欢冒险。故选d项。2答案与解析：c词句猜测题。由第二段划线后的句子“i have been lucky to be his companion on many adventures.”可知，我很幸运能和他一起经历许多冒险。所以父亲对于冒险的热情影响了作者，故通过上下文可以判断出，划线词的意思是“影响”的意思。故选c项。3答案与解析：d细节理解题。由第四段“our adventure began with a 90­foot rope down a canyon wall into a rushing ice­cold river.

24、then we crossed the bone­chilling water toward the mouth of the river, our final destination.”可知，我们的冒险开始于一根90英尺长的绳子，沿着峡谷的岩壁而下，进入一条冰冷的河流，然后我们游过冰冷刺骨的河水，来到河口，这是我们的最终目的地。所以作者和他的父亲在尝试峡谷探险时沿峡谷的岩壁而下，游过冰冷湍急的河流。故选d项。4答案与解析：a推理判断题。由最后一段中“we continue to seek the big thrills, but in doing so, we have learn

25、ed to seek lesser excitement in daily life as well. after all, we can't go canyoning every day, and small thrills are better than none for us thrill­seekers.可知我们继续寻找刺激，但在这样做的过程中，我们也学会了在日常生活中寻找不那么刺激的东西。 毕竟，我们不可能每天都去峡谷探险，对于我们这些寻求刺激的人来说，小小的刺激总比没有好。由此判断出作者想在最后一段告诉我们日常生活中的小刺激也值得一试。”故选a项。.完形填空【语篇

26、解读】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了一位素不相识的女士在公交车上捡到作者的钱包，并根据钱包内的信息在寒冷的黑夜把钱包送到作者家中的故事。1答案与解析：c上文语境题。作者发现自己的钱包不见了的时候，g9公交车正在夜幕中(in the dark)快速行驶(was now speeding)，这里表示公交车正驶向某一个(some)未知的(unknown)车站，因此选c。accessible可进入的；hidden被隐藏的；convenient便利的，均不符合此处的语境。2答案与解析：d上文语境题。前文说作者发现自己钱包丢失的时候感到害怕(fear seized me)，复合形容词heart­s

27、topping表示“令人非常害怕的”，与前文的fear在含义上是一致的，因此选d。face­saving保全面子的；brain­washing洗脑的；eye­catching引人注目的，均不符合此处的语境。3答案与解析：b下文语境题。由后面提到的信用卡、驾照和现金可知，这里说的是作者在想，要把那个小钱包里的东西都更换需要花多少时间和金钱。这里用contents表示“所容纳之物”，指作者丢失的钱包里装的那些物品。part部分；detail细节；ingredient成分，均不符合此处的语境。4答案与解析：b下文语境题。根据下文内容可知，这里说的是作者在餐厅打电话的时候

28、有人来敲门，作者的丈夫去开的门(answer the door)，因此选b。ignore忽视，不理睬；examine检查；interrupt打扰。5答案与解析：a下文语境题。根据下文的陈述可知，此处表示“一分钱都没有少”，用形容词missing“丢失的”。6答案与解析：d上下文语境题。此处表示还没等作者到门口对来送钱包的人道谢，对方就已经走了，用副词even“甚至”强调出乎意料。7答案与解析：c上下文语境题。当作者在网上分享了这个故事之后，她收到了某个人的来信，这个人确认了那位女士是erin smith。用identify表示“识别，认出”。8答案与解析：a下文语境题。当作者知道捡到自己的钱包并送到自己家的这位女士是谁之后，就毫不犹豫地给对方打电话表示感谢。without delay毫不耽搁地，符合此处的语境。alarm惊恐，惊慌；regret遗憾，后悔；invitation邀请，请柬。9答案与解析：d上下文语境题。根据语境“在公交车的座位上”判断选spotted表示“看见，发现”。10答案与解析：c下文语境题。由文章最后一段中的“on a bitterly cold night”可知，那天晚上非常冷。同时，erin又不认识作者，由此推知，对方当时在考虑是否要
