Question

【題目】 When I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t _______ lives in the hospital, he was planting as many trees as possible in his yard. And his life’s goal was to make it a _______.

The good doctor had some _______ ideas on planting trees. He believed in “No pains, no gains”. He never _______ his new trees, which was different from many people. Once I asked him why. He _______ that watering plants spoiled (寵壞) them and that if you water them, each following tree generation will grow _______. He talked about how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots (根) in _______ of water.

However, I didn’t buy his words then. A few years later. I planted a couple of trees and I took good care of them. Two years’ caring had resulted in trees that expected to be waited on hand and foot. Whenever a cold wind blew _______, they trembled (顫動(dòng)) their leaves and branches. The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that the lack of water seemed to benefit them in ways comfort and ease never could.

Now I am the father of two sons. I used to wish that my sons’ lives will be easy. But lately when I think of Dr. Gibbs and his trees, it reminds me that it’s time to change my attitude (態(tài)度). I know my children are going to meet hardship, and they can’t be too dependent to live on. _______ I need to do is to pray for deep roots, ________ when the winds blow, they won’t be swept away.

【解析】

短文大意：本文是記敘文，作者通過他的鄰居種樹的經(jīng)歷來告訴我們對(duì)于成長(zhǎng)來說有時(shí)候困難是必備的。

【1】

句意：吉布斯醫(yī)生在醫(yī)院里不救人的時(shí)候，就在院子里種盡可能多的樹。

make制作；value價(jià)值；save拯救。lives生命，根據(jù)句意，可知是拯救生命，故選C。

【2】

句意：他的人生目標(biāo)就是把它變成一片樹林。

street街道；forest森林；farm農(nóng)場(chǎng)。根據(jù)上文“he was planting as many trees as possible in his yard他在院子里種盡可能多的樹”，可知make it a forest（把它變成一片樹林）符合句意，故選B。

【3】

句意：這位好醫(yī)生對(duì)植樹有一些完美的想法。

perfect完美的；terrible可怕的；difficult困難的。根據(jù)下文他不給新樹澆水以讓小樹深扎根，可知他的想法很好，故選A。

【4】

句意：他從不給他的新樹澆水，這與許多人不同。

water澆水；raise增加；love喜愛。根據(jù)下文“He answered that watering plants spoiled them他回答說，澆水會(huì)毀了這些樹”，可知選A。

【5】

句意：他回答說，澆水會(huì)毀了這些樹。

wonder想知道；answer回答；doubt疑惑。根據(jù)上文“I asked him why我問他為什么”，可知這里是回答，故選B。

【6】

句意：如果你澆水，以后每一代的樹都會(huì)變得更弱。

weaker更弱；taller更高；straighter更直。根據(jù)上文“watering plants spoiled them澆水會(huì)毀了這些樹”，可知BC兩項(xiàng)不合句意，故選A。

【7】

句意：他告訴我那些沒有澆水的樹怎樣必須深深扎根尋找水。

face面；honor榮譽(yù)；search搜索。in search of尋找；根據(jù)“grow deep roots深深扎根”，可知是為了吸水，AB兩項(xiàng)不合句意，故選C。

【8】

句意：每當(dāng)寒風(fēng)凜冽的時(shí)候，它們搖動(dòng)著樹葉和樹枝。

quickly快速地；strongly猛烈地；hardly幾乎不。根據(jù)“they trembled their leaves and branches它們抖動(dòng)樹葉和樹枝”，可知風(fēng)很大，strongly符合句意，故選B。

【9】

句意：我所需要做的就是祈禱深深扎根。

how如何，表方式；what什么，表事情；why為什么，表原因。設(shè)空處所在的是主語從句， do（做）后需接賓語，需用疑問代詞；how和why都是疑問副詞，可排除。根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)，故選B。

【10】

句意：我所需要做的是祈禱深深的根，這樣風(fēng)就不會(huì)把它們吹走。

so所以，表結(jié)果；or或者，表選擇；but但是，表轉(zhuǎn)折。根據(jù)“What I need to do is to pray for deep roots我所需要做的就是祈禱深深扎根”，可知扎根的結(jié)果是不會(huì)被吹走，BC兩項(xiàng)不合語境，故選A。

完形填空。主要題型有（1）考查詞義辨析：名詞辨析，形容詞副詞辨析，冠詞辨析，介詞連詞辨析等；（2）考查句子時(shí)態(tài)，語態(tài)，要根據(jù)語境，選擇正確的時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)的選項(xiàng)；（3）考查從句（賓語從句，定語從句，主語從句等）；（4）根據(jù)固定句型或短語結(jié)合語境選擇正確的選項(xiàng)。

本文是故事類閱讀，作者通過他的鄰居種樹的經(jīng)歷來告訴我們對(duì)于成長(zhǎng)來說有時(shí)候困難是必備的。主要考查單詞或短語辨析，做此類型題時(shí)，要知道每一個(gè)詞的意義，然后結(jié)合上下文背景語境，選擇適合語境的選項(xiàng)。例如小題8，三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是副詞：quickly快速地；strongly猛烈地；hardly幾乎不。根據(jù)“they trembled their leaves and branches它們抖動(dòng)樹葉和樹枝”，可知寒風(fēng)凜冽，strongly猛烈地，故選B。
