题文

This is love, hand in hand with you, old age to the old.
I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a(an) 31 husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The 32 had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The 33 was quoting Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an 34 of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to 35 that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would 36 .
And it did, 37 from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks 38 on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, 39 and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. 40 the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 41 a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, 42
then I thought she wanted to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the 43 flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the firm where I am a director. We visited the shell museum 44 I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole 45 passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went 46 with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn 47 me. “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a(an) 48 voice, “do you know something? I don’t….”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… that 49 I had several weeks ago … our doctor … did he tell you something about me? Am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst into 50 .
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

解析
小题1:考查形容词。结合Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.可知作者要尽力做个充满爱心的丈夫和父亲。
小题2:考查名词。 结合下文可知作者“要尽力做个充满爱心的丈夫和父亲”的想法是来自车载收音机中听到的一个谈话节目。
小题3:考查名词。这里是指谈话节目的主持人引用了圣经中有关夫妻关系的文章。
小题4:考查名词。根据下文 A person can choose to love可知“爱是出于自愿的行为”。
小题5:考查动词。admit 承认。此处作者反思自身的缺点。
小题6:考查动词。由首句 “I made a promise to myself...”可知,“所有这些情况都会改变”。
小题7:考查副词。right用于加强语气,以便精确地表达时间关系或空间关系,如right after, right in the middle of等。right from the moment就在从那一刻。
小题8:考查形容词。作者赞美妻子的sweater漂亮。
小题9:考查形容词。结合Tom, you noticed可知丈夫的赞美出乎妻子的意料,听了之后感到“又惊又喜”。
小题10:考查介词。结合第一段可知是作者在去海边的路上许的诺言,而下文又讲的是在海滩上散步,是到了之后的事。
小题11:考查动词。suggest sth.提议;提出。对应下文的I started to refuse。本处不是“took a walk”,而是“……提出到海滩上去散散步。”
小题12:考查连词。but表示转折。“我开始相拒绝,可想到她想和我单独在一起”。
小题13:考查名词。我和妻子在散步,孩子们在放风筝。对应前文的father。
小题14:考查连词。承接上文“虽然我usually hate museums, 但我还是去visit the shell museum”。
小题15:考查名词。文章开头提到的vacation。
小题16:考查形容词。前文讲的是作者一直按自己的承诺对待妻子和孩子,过得很愉快;46空后的however表转折,所以此处应是出问题了(go wrong)。
小题17:考查动词短语。 结合上文的puzzled可知对于作者的变化,Evelyn有些迷惑,所以她盯着作者,想弄清楚是怎么回事。
小题18:考查形容词。结合下文Evelyn以为自己要死了,自然是很难过。
小题19:考查名词。结合doctor 可知几周前Evelyn做了次体检。
小题20:考查名词。结合全文可知Evelyn 把作者的转变误以为自己快要死了,才对她这么好,弄明白妻子的意思后,作者哄然大笑。可结合Evelyn and I still laugh about it today判断答案。
考点
据考高分专家说,试题“This is love, hand i.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念:
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
