答案
36---55 BACAD DCBAB DCABC ACCAD
解析
36.B 意思是“恰当的”,表示作者不知这样做才好,很难把握适当的尺度。
37.A hold onto “抓住不放”。
38.C keep一词干扰性很强,但keep independence“保持独立”,则表明女儿一直是独立的。这与母亲抓住女儿不放的语境不符。故填taste表明女儿要体会一下独立的滋味。
39.A 女儿想独立,而母亲放心不下,母女相争,自然是很令人“尴尬的”。
40.D response “回答”,上文有Mother’s question为依据。
41.D be accepted to “被录取到”
42.C 上文的“…doesn’t know when to let go”是提示。
43.B 作者把她认为重要的课程画上线,意思是让女儿去选。
44.A light up(使)变得容光焕发或振奋
45.B 用thinking表作者的想法,不能用hoping“希望”。
46.D single “单一的”,起加强语气的作用。女儿竟然一个她建议的课程都没选!
47.C 所选的完全都是符合她自己兴趣的课程。exactly完全地;全然
48.A sharp mind敏捷的头脑 ,与mature, capable共同描绘女儿。
49.B 女儿已经长大(mature)并且很能干(capable),因此不需母亲去评价她所作出的决定。agree 不及物。
50.C but一词的转折决定此处应该将excited排除。根据上下文,应该填sad。看到女儿能自立了,当母亲的自然会骄傲,但又感到有点伤感。
51.A 因为宾语是lesson(教训)自然应该填review “回顾”。
52.C responsibility 责任感。
53.C 前一句说沿途有一些坎坷,空后面是她已经为未来做好了充分准备。所以此处应该填具有转折意义的词,故填yet“然而”。
54.A此题可用排除法做。填embrace(拥抱),符合上下文。表明女儿已经准备好拥抱未来,完全可以独立生活了。
55.D母亲反思相通了,自然要充分放手,就会给母女都带来自由。
