19、假装；confirm确定，证实； require需要，要求。根据语境此处表示确定。故选C.42. 考查形容词辨析。句意：我没有很多钱，但是我花了比平时多的钱在一元店买了装饰品和盘子。last最后的；usual通常的；first第一的；forever永远。结合语境可知答案为B.43. 考查名词辨析。句意：为了让他们所有人吃好，我稍微做了一下预算。budget预算；plan计划；destination目的地，目标；purpose目的。根据句意可知选A.44. 考查动词辨析。句意：我坐着，等着，尽管我所有的“朋友”都说他们要来，但没有人出现！根据no one was here及下文“Here it

20、was,4:00 pm”可推知，我一直在等着。doubt怀疑；hesitate犹豫；intend打算；wait等，等候。故选D.45. 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我坐着，等着，尽管我所有的“朋友”都说他们要来，但没有人出现！根据“no one was here”可推知没有人出现。hang out闲逛；turn around转身；check in登记，报道； show up露面，出现。故选D.46. 考查动词辨析。句意：庆祝活动原定于中午12点开始。open打开；start开始；launch发动，发射；close关闭，结束。结合句意可知答案为B.47. 考查副词辨析。句意：到下午4点了，这里仍然没

21、有人。still仍然；also也，并且；ever曾经，永远；too也。结合句意可知答案为A.48. 考查动词辨析及上下文推理。句意：冰淇淋蛋糕正在融化。freeze结冰；melt融化；harden硬化；break破坏，打破。根据上文提到从中午等到下午四点，推知冰淇淋蛋糕融化了。故选B.49. 考查名词辨析。句意：烧烤上的食物被烧得面目全非。imagination想像力；control控制；recognition识别，认出；repair修理。beyond recognition面目全非，无法识别。故选C.50. 考查形容词辨析及上下文推理。句意：我决定坐下来放松一下，回想起我曾经拥有的美好时光。

22、wonderful美好的，精彩的；terrible可怕的；different不同的；similar相似的。结合句意可知此处表示自己回忆以前的时光肯定是回忆美好的时光。故选A.51. 考查代词辨析及固定搭配。句意：显然，Mr. Kenny尽了最大努力才出现在这儿。did everything he could to do表示尽他所能去做某事。故选D.52. 考查名词辨析及基本常识。句意：我在他的肩膀上哭了起来，“我什么都不值得！” clothes衣服；aim目的；shoulder肩膀；hands手。根据语境及基本常识应该选B.53. 考查动词辨析。句意：他擦去我的眼泪，紧紧地抱住我，说了一句神奇

23、的话:“我永远是你的朋友！” pat轻拍；drag拖；strike敲击，打；hold握住。根据语境可知此处表示紧紧地抱住我，只有hold合适。故选D.54. 考查形容词辨析及上下文推理。句意：他擦去我的眼泪，紧紧地抱住我，说了一句神奇的话：“我永远是你的朋友！”magical神奇的，有魔力的；practical实际的；familiar熟悉的；thoughtful深思的，体贴的。根据本段最后一句话，“The clouds in my mind cleared away at once.”，Mr. Kenny的话语是有魔力的。故选A.55. 考查语境推理。句意：在过去的几周里，他遇到了很多挑战和困

24、难，但他还是成功了。Mr. Kenny虽然自己有很多困难和挑战，但是他还是“设法来了”，manage to come 符合题意。故选B.56. 考查语境推理。句意：当我们坐在外面的蓝天下，笑着聊天，我觉得我是幸运的。作者和其好友坐在草地上“边笑边谈”符合日常的生活习惯，其他选项在意思上不搭。故选B.57. 考查形容词辨析及语境推理。句意：当我们坐在外面的蓝天下，笑着聊天，我觉得我是幸运的。根据下一句“He appeared just before I wanted to give up on the mean world”（我刚要放弃这个卑鄙的世界, 他出现了。）, 作者认为他是“幸运”的,

25、所以选D项 blessed, 意思是“幸运的, 有福气的”。故选D.58. 考查形容词辨析。句意：他出现在我想要放弃这个卑鄙的世界之前。因为作者的20个朋友“确认”要来参见他的生日party, 但是没有一个露面的，作者非常失望，进而觉得这是一个“卑鄙”的世界。C项mean意思最好，B项和D项意思都不符合作者当时的心态，A项risky意思是“冒险的, 有风险的”，显然不如C项合适。故选C.59. 考查上下文理解及连词辨析。最后一段是作者经历了这次事件后对生活的感悟。生活是美好的，虽然生活中有些人很幸运, 能和相爱的人永远相处，而另外一些人不够那么幸运，但是，作者建议人们，不要灰心沮丧，要充满信心

26、和希望，说不定爱就在拐角处。用while引导状语从句，表示对比，对比生活中的两类人物。故选B.60. 考查名词辨析。句意：然而，永远不要放弃希望，也许它就在那个人的周围。作者建议暂时“不幸福”的人们不要放弃“希望”，所以hope最合适。故选C.【名师点睛】完形填空题的命题特点及答题方法：1.侧重基础知识，考查学生语言知识的能力完形填空以文入手，结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识，主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句子结构、掌握语法规则的能力，其中考查实词居多。该题中考查词义辨析的题目比较多，但是尤其小题14，本身各个选项放在此处，意思都可以理解，magical神奇的，有魔力的；pract

27、ical实际的；familiar熟悉的；thoughtful深思的，体贴的。根据本段最后一句话“The clouds in my mind cleared away at once.”，可推知此处表示Mr. Kenny的话语是有魔力的，让作者突然就豁然开朗，从而排除了干扰项。2.上下文对照，考查学生捕捉关键词的能力解完形填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。3.设置语境，考查学生的分析推理能力旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构

28、的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。如小题11，根据语境可知意思应该表示尽他所能，did everything he could to do表示尽他所能去做某事，既考查了语境理解也考察了语法知识。三、 阅读理解17. JOIN OUR TEAMA.

38、直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如：小题2由Volunteers should be available to start work next month.可知如果你想要成为广
