解析:

先通讀短文,了解大意:“我”父親是英軍的一位軍官,“我”與妹妹隨父親一起在部隊里。有一天傍晚,一只大猩猩來襲擊我家,當時父親為了不讓“我”和妹妹不受驚嚇,借故要我們上樓。之后,他因未來得及關(guān)上門而讓大猩猩闖入了我家。再后,父親上樓,大猩猩后面追,我聞知拿槍開門,并開槍打傷了大猩猩。最后父親接過槍,開槍將大猩猩擊斃。

1. A。類似的表達法有:one-eyed(獨眼的),three-legged(三條腿的)等(注:這是九十年代以來,高考英語完形填空題中唯一道純語法題,從此以后這樣的純語法題再也沒有在高考完形填空題中出現(xiàn)過)。

2. C。這里選 A,D 顯然不行,選 B(night)與語境也不符,因為既然是“晚上”,父親又怎么能通過窗子看到外面的大猩猩呢? 另外須注意的是下文(第8空之后)也出現(xiàn)了 evening 這樣的暗示性的詞。

3. B。這里若選 C,D 都顯然不行。選 A(towards)的話,這是一個動態(tài)介詞,表示“朝……方向”,也不行,而選 B 剛好符合語境:正由于父親坐在窗子對面(opposite the window),所以才能通過窗子看見外面的大猩猩。

4. D!拔摇卑l(fā)現(xiàn)父親的臉色變得蒼白,這是由視覺得出的結(jié)果, 所以這里選 noticed 最合語境。

5. A。這里的 still 意為“一動不動”。

6. B。父親發(fā)現(xiàn)大猩猩,臉色變得蒼白,此時按理我要問問父親出了什么事;但是由于妹妹有病(sick),所以我坐著一動不動(still),這顯然是為了不“使妹妹受驚嚇”,所以選 frighten 正合語境。

7. C。聯(lián)系上面的語境:為了不讓妹妹受驚嚇,這時父親雖然知道大猩猩來的危險,但仍用“平靜的”(calm)的聲音借故要我們上樓去。

8. D。因為這是直接引語,從語境上看此處應(yīng)用一般將來時態(tài)(注:此題雖有其語境因素,但也有一定的語法特征。這類題在以后的高考完形填空題中很少出現(xiàn))。

9. B。此句的下文是:父親要我們上樓去,也就是說他要與這位“朋友”單獨相處(alone with)。

10. C。這里的 obeyed 意為“照辦”。這從下文顯然可知。

11. A。聯(lián)系下文,這顯然是指聽到“像門被沖開的聲音(heard a sound like that of a door burst in)”,因為從常識上說,“門被沖開”不可能發(fā)出像 cry, voice, shout 等之類的聲音。

12. D。因為上文說:“我”和妹妹上了樓,下文又說:父親叫“我”開門。 這就說明現(xiàn)在父親正在“上(up)”樓梯。

13. C。下文說:我從桌上拿起了手槍,這說明是“有危險”。

14. A。因為“我”和妹妹上樓后,把門關(guān)了起來, 所以現(xiàn)在父親是叫我們把門 “打開(open)”。

15. C。此題 A, B 選項易排除。但為什么選 C 而不選 D 呢?當時的情景是:父親在樓梯上,“我”從上往下看,通過父親的肩膀,看到其后的是一只大猩猩。這里用 over 表示“我”與父親有一段距離;若用 from,它表示的是“我”從父親的肩膀那兒往下看(即“我”和父親在一起,不合語境)。

16. B。這道題其實很簡單,從某種角度上來說它主要考察考生是否細心。因為前文第一句就出現(xiàn)了in South Africa 這樣的暗示。粗心的考生此處會選有可能 A(South America)。

17. D。若選 A(aiming at), C(shooting at)這顯然不合情理,因為大猩猩怎么會能“瞄準”或“射擊”?選 B(marching towards)與語境也不符。

18. C。大猩猩被我打了一槍,并從樓梯上退下去。從常識上看,此時大猩猩應(yīng)該是發(fā)出一個“憤怒的”(angry)的聲音。

19. A,20. D。指當時父親從我手上接過還在(still) 冒煙的槍,又開了一槍;這一槍就擊斃(killed)了大猩猩。

21. B。若選 C(driven), D(forced),顯然不合上文語境:父親對孩子說“請你們上樓到自己的房間去好嗎?”若選 A (taken) 也不對,因 take指自己親自帶去。選 B(sent)正合語境要求。

22. B,

23. C,

24. A。父親之所以強作鎮(zhèn)靜把我們叫上樓去,一方面是為了使有病的妹妹不受驚嚇,另一方面則是他以為他能夠趕在大猩猩進屋之前(before)把門閂(lock)好。但是,父親未來得及,因為大猩猩太快(quick)了。

25. D。這可以從文章中的暗示得知。
