　　Nick instead？” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a

　　__20__

　　child.

　　Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centers would not

　　__21__

　　him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left with equilibrium(平衡) problems. He couldn't

　　__23__

　　if I was to take the job when my mother

　　__24__，“Don't you want to

　　be

　　a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the

　　__25__.” Then I told her I was

　　for the job.

　　The day started at 7：00 a．m.. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little

　　__28__

　　up —

　　__31__

　　it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his

　　__32__. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big

　　D. special 答案與解析： 16．D　根據(jù)本句中的“before my busy senior year”可知作者想在這個夏天“放松”一下。 17．B　do sb.a favour是固定搭配，表示“幫某人一個忙”。 18．A　下文提到Nick這個孩子與常人不同，由此可知作者母親的同事需要一個全職“護士”。文章最后一段中的“being a nurse”也是線索提示。 19．C　作者的母親建議作者志愿去“照顧”Nick。B項表示“幫助”，語意不太恰當。 20．A　根據(jù)下一段前半部分的敘述可推知他不是一個“正常的”孩子。其他選項在文章中沒有信息支持。 21．C　結合上一句以及下一句的內(nèi)容可推知正規(guī)的日托中心不“接受”他。此處強調(diào)的是主觀愿望，因此B項不恰當；A項表示“承認”，D項表示“收養(yǎng)”，語意均不恰當。 22．D　結合空后的or run以及上一句的內(nèi)容可知此處應用與run同類的walk，表示他不能正常地“走路”。 23．A　面對這樣一個孩子，作者“猶豫不決”，不知是否應該接受這份工作。 24．C　根據(jù)作者的母親所說的話可知她是在使用激將法“挑戰(zhàn)”作者。A項表示“建議”，B項表示“爭論”，D項表示“評價”，都不符合語境。 25．B　根據(jù)引號中的第一句話可知這里表作者的母親懷疑作者是否有“勇氣”接受這個挑戰(zhàn)。A項表示“精力”，在文章中沒有信息支持。 26．D　作者告訴母親說自己做好了接受這份工作的“準備”。be eager for“渴望”，表示對成功的渴望或者對進取的熱情，語意不太恰當。 27．B　此處用balance與第二段中的“equilibrium(平衡)problems”相呼應。這個孩子精力充沛，卻幾乎沒有“平衡”能力。 28．C　light up表示“高興起來”。cheer up表示“振作起來”，shut up表示“閉嘴”，都與所給語境不符。 29．B　根據(jù)常識可知讓一個正常的孩子從滑梯上滑下來是非常“簡單的”事情。A項表示“要求多的，吃力的”；C項表示“有趣的”；D項表示“靈活的”。 30．A　Nick不是一個正常的孩子，缺乏平衡性，而作者竟然想讓他上滑梯，所以Nick需要面對“恐懼”。 31．D　make it是固定用法，表示“成功”，即他成功地走到了滑梯的頂部。如果選擇A項，應去掉句中的it。 32．B　作者和他一起滑下滑梯后，等待著他的“反應”。下文中沒有提到他的笑聲，因此A項不恰當。 33．A　他當時顯然不相信自己能夠安然無恙地滑下滑梯，激動之情可想而知，所以此項最能顯示他當時的興奮之情。 34．C　“take...for granted”是固定搭配，表示“把……想當然，認為……是理所應當?shù)摹保雌渌⒆诱J為爬上滑梯是很自然的事情。 35．D　上文提到Nick不是一個正常的孩子，所以此處強調(diào)的是他非常“特殊”。A項表示“悲慘的，痛苦的”，B項表示“聰明的”，C項表示“勇敢的”，都不符合語境。 Ⅲ.七選五 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Three quarters of old people live alone, and security is especially important to older people with poor eyesight.

A. had he; Yes

　　B. did he; No C. do I; Yes

　　D. could he; No

　　答案與解析：B　句意：——我猜Jimmy在上周的期中考試中不可能做得挺好，對不對？——是的，他差點沒及格。suppose后接否定概念時，應將否定提前，故后面的反意疑問句部分應該用肯定形式。從句中的could have done是對過去發(fā)生的事情的推測且從句中有明顯的時間狀語last week，故用一般過去時。根據(jù)答語可知第二個空應用no，表示否定。 Ⅴ.語法專練 1．(2010·北京朝陽區(qū))Some teenagers ________ their health because they often expose themselves to so many electric products.
