Question

【題目】 The summer I turned 16, my father gave me his car --- a gift wasted on me at that age. The important thing was that Hannah and I could drive around.

Hannah was my best friend, a year younger but much taller, almost five foot ten. " Hannah's a knockout, "my mother always said. And that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.

A month after my birthday, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. "Let’s ride around a while, "I said. It was a clear night, full moon slung(懸掛)low over the desert. Taking a turning too fast, I plowed (撞)through a neighbor’s wall and drove into a full-grown tree.

We were taken in separate ambulances.I’d cracked(使裂開)my cheek bone;Hannah’s forehead had split wide open. End of her modeling career.What would I say to her?

When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry. She sat beside me and took my hand.“I rear-ended(追尾) my best friend when I was your age, ”she said. “I totaled her car and mine.”

“I’m so sorry，” I said.

“ You’re both alive，” she said.“ The rest is window dressing. I forgive you. Hannah will too.”

Sharon’s forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to stay friends throughout high school and college, to be at each other’s weddings … The scars are so faded no one else would notice, but in the sunlight I can still see it just below her hairline --- for me, a mark of grace(優(yōu)雅).

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文，主要講了在作者16歲時(shí)，她的父親送給他一輛敞篷車，她開車帶著Hannah兜風(fēng)時(shí)，出了事故，兩人都受傷了，但Hannah和她媽媽原諒了作者。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中The summer I turned 16, my father gave me his car --- a gift wasted on me at that age.（在我16歲那年的夏天，我父親把他的車送給了我——在我那個(gè)年齡，這是一件浪費(fèi)掉的禮物。）可知在作者的年齡還不需要汽車，因此作者認(rèn)為父親的禮物是浪費(fèi)了。故選A。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文And that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.可知那年夏天，Hannah與一家模特經(jīng)紀(jì)公司簽約，已經(jīng)在做T臺(tái)的工作了。可推知Hannah做了模特，是個(gè)很有吸引力的人，故劃線單詞意思為“有魅力的人”，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share.（在回家的路上，我們?cè)邴湲?dāng)勞的免下車餐廳停了下來，把薯?xiàng)l放在我們之間的座位上分享。）可知作者和她的朋友看完電影后開車去兜風(fēng)。故選A。

【4】主旨大意題。文章開頭講述可作者和朋友開車出了事故，最后作者朋友的媽媽對(duì)作者的寬恕讓作者在今后的人生里每每要責(zé)備別人時(shí)都會(huì)想起Sharon的寬恕，這種寬恕對(duì)作者來說是一種禮物，因此本文的標(biāo)題用“寬恕的禮物”非常合適，故選D。

詞義猜測(cè)題是高考閱讀理解中常考題型之一，可以大致分為

① 定義猜詞，可以根據(jù)定義信息和舉例猜測(cè)詞義。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。

② 邏輯猜詞可以根據(jù)同義詞、反義詞、因果關(guān)系詞等猜測(cè)詞義，例如，similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等，所猜詞與這些提示詞前/后面部分的含義一樣、相反或是前因后果。

③ 語法猜詞，可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法，再結(jié)合上下文進(jìn)行猜詞。

④ 語境猜詞，猜測(cè)詞義離不開上下文的語境，通過上下文提供的情景和線索進(jìn)行合理的分析，同時(shí)還要關(guān)注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤ 指代猜詞即找出人稱代詞、指示代詞、關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞等所指代的內(nèi)容，做題時(shí)要注意指代詞的位置，以便于判斷，然后用所找的指代內(nèi)容替換劃線代詞，核實(shí)其邏輯、意義、位置等是否一致，最后比較所找部分與選項(xiàng)，確定意思最接近的選項(xiàng)。

如第二小題，根據(jù)下文And that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.可知那年夏天，Hannah與一家模特經(jīng)紀(jì)公司簽約，已經(jīng)在做T臺(tái)的工作了�？赏浦�Hannah做了模特，是個(gè)很有吸引力的人，故劃線單詞意思為“有魅力的人”，故選D。
