18、爱，感人至深。1A.strange BspecialCpretty Dkind答案：D根据Even的语气暗示和后面的softspoken(说话柔和的)可知，Mrs Phillips是一个易让孩子们接受的好老师，故用kind来修饰。2A.bed BseatCbook Dschool答案：B由上下文可知，因为Brendan是第一天上学，所以他不愿意让妈妈离开，因此没有人能够让他坐到“座位”上去。3A.held onto Blooked atCsearched for Dworried about答案：A本句意为：他泪流满面，鼻子抽搭着，紧紧抓住我。由下一句的pushed him off(推开他)可
19、推断出，孩子因为不愿意让妈妈走而紧紧抓着她。hold onto意为“紧抓不放”。4A.smiled BfellCescaped Dhurt答案：C作者把儿子推开，然后逃脱(escape)了。5A.afraid of Bapart fromCthankful for Dproud of答案：B不是Brendan不喜欢上学，而是他不想和妈妈分开。be apart from sb.表示“和某人分开”。be afraid of sb.“害怕某人”，be thankful for sb.“感谢某人”，be proud of sb.“为某人而骄傲”，都不符合文章。6A.good BtoughChard D
20、terrible答案：A下一句描述了他们在一起玩耍的情景，由此可推知，他们以前的时光应该是愉快的。good times“美好时光”。7A.water BsunlightCice Dwind答案：C由前面的skated(滑冰)可知，此处应用ice。8A.filled BdelightedCexcited Dfaced答案：DBrendan上一年级了，每天有5个小时要待在学校而不再是整天和妈妈待在一起。因此，在这5个小时里，他会猜想妈妈在做什么。be faced with意为“面对”，这里指面对5个小时的瞎琢磨。9. Awhat BhowCwhich Dthat答案：ABrendan用5个小时的时
21、间来猜测作者在做什么。此处what引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语。10. Abreakfast BlunchCsupper Dsleep答案：B根据语境以及下一段第一句中的after lunch可知，此处表示Brendan总是回家吃午饭(lunch)。11. Alived BrodeCpromised Dwaited答案：D由上下文可知，作者一直陪着儿子走，等(wait)到他遇到认识的人后再离开。12. Anoticed BobservedCwatched Dfound答案：C此处表示儿子注视着作者离开。watch“注视，观看”，侧重于观察事物的变化、移动和发展。observe“观察”，指长时间
22、地看并研究，不符合语境。13. Afast BslowlyChappily Dnervously答案：A由下文的never looked back可知，作者不想让儿子一直注视着自己，因此她应该加快步伐，从不回头，故用fast。14A.fetched BtookCreceived Dheard答案：B上一段提到儿子回家吃饭，此处表示午饭后带儿子回学校。take sb.back意为“带某人回去”。15. Alaughed BranCplayed Dcame答案：B根据下句中的I went可知作者走开了，由此推断Brendan遇到朋友后和妈妈吻别，然后“跑”开了。16A.sad BluckyCint
23、erested Dpleased答案：D儿子开始独立，作者应该会为儿子感到“高兴”。17A.asked BcalledCleft Dprepared答案：D本句意为：从来没有哪本育儿书教过我，这样的匆匆一瞥竟使我看到儿子的灵魂深处，我对此毫无准备。prepare sb.for sth.意为“使某人为某事做好准备”。18. Amind BheadChand Dbrain答案：A此处表示作者的思绪(mind)跳到了15年之后。19A.young BoldCtall Dstrong答案：B15年之后，儿子的狗当然是变老(old)了。20. Acried BshoutedCturned Dnodded
24、答案：C由本段第三句可知，作者回头看儿子，因此此时作者应该是转过身(turn)，然后走了。三、阅读理解A【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to to
25、uch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere. The project, called Hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology.
26、 The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; the
27、se will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywinds stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity s
28、ix miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September. To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To m
29、ake that turbine heavier, the whole spars center of gravity must be moved much closer to the oceans surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades. Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfect
30、ing floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology ca
31、tches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. 1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of . A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floor B. the spar which is floating in deep-sea water C. the blades driven by strong and steady sea wind D. the stones fil
