Many years ago,while my children grew up in the woods of Florida,they were always taught that where there is water there most likely will be alligators (短吻鱷).Never could they 1 near any water.
Monica,my youngest daughter,was five years old and was 2 to play in the yard close to the house.As soon as I was 3 ,she ran to the lake which wasn’t far away.Monica approached the ducks sitting on their nests.She 4 one baby duck wandering alone,picked it up quickly in her hands and ran back home.5 ,Monica ran into the house,saying with 6 ,“Look,Mommy,I found one duck that was lost.Can I keep it?” When I saw that baby duck,I was 7 ,not because she took the duck or disobeyed me,but because I knew the 8 she placed herself in by going too close to the 9.I had warned her over and over again.“What if an alligator is in the high grass and attacks you?” I shouted.
Monica 10 me what she’d learned in school.“Look,Mommy,this is how you 11 from an alligator!” She then started to run across the 12 where she usually played in a zigzag pattern.“Mommy,you have to run this way because the alligator can’t run this way too 13 and you can get away.”
It is exactly true that we can teach our 14 about the dangers that lurk (隱藏著)around every corner.However,will they 15 our warning? We,as adults,can learn something from 16 and alligators.Imagine we are the ducks,and alligators 17 the evils that exist in this world.The evils lurk somewhere.The evils would try to 18 us and drag us into a world of depression and anxiety.The 19 road of life will never be an easy one.So we need 20 others of danger or notice warning from other kind-hearted people.

【語篇解讀】這是一篇記敘文,講述了一個發(fā)生在作者身邊的故事。為了避免孩子受到鱷魚的傷害,作者告誡孩子不要到離家不遠的湖邊去玩耍??墒俏鍤q的Monica卻獨自去了那里并帶回一只“迷途的”小鴨子。這件事讓作者頓生感慨。
1.D。聯(lián)系上一句的意思可知,“我”告誡孩子不要到有水的地方去。go與語境相符。
2.C。由于擔心來自鱷魚的傷害,“我”只允許(allow)Monica在房子附近的院子里玩兒。advise意為“建議”;persuade意為“說服”;order意為“命令”,均不符合題意。
3.D。根據(jù)語境可知,“我”一眼看不見(out of sight),她就跑到不遠處的湖邊去了。within reach 意為“夠得到”;out of reach 意為“夠不到”;in sight意為“看得見”。
4.A。Monica走近正在休息的鴨群,發(fā)現(xiàn) (spot)一只小鴨子獨自游蕩,她以為這只鴨子走丟了。recognize意為“辨認,承認”;analyze意為“分析”;imagine意為“想象”。
5.B。Monica帶著小鴨子跑回家來,breathlessly(氣喘吁吁地)符合語境。carelessly意為“粗心地”;nervously意為“緊張不安地”;gradually意為“逐漸地”。
6.C。顯然,空白處后面的“Look,Mommy,I found one duck that was lost.Can I keep it”透露出Monica的興奮勁兒。satisfaction意為“滿足”;anxiety意為“焦慮”;curiosity意為“好奇”。
7.B。綜合開頭一段及空白處后面所述的原因,可推斷“我”對孩子的舉動很生氣(angry)。delighted意為“快樂的”;content意為“滿意的”;refreshed意為“精神煥發(fā)的”。
8.A。根據(jù)前文所述及最末一段的首句“...about the dangers that lurk around...”可知A項與語境吻合。
9.A。前面提到“我”警告孩子不要去湖邊玩兒,否則會有受到鱷魚襲擊的危險。由此可知答案為A項。
10.D。從下文Monica的言談舉止中不難看出,她向“我”展示(show)在學校里學到的技能。offer意為“提供”;impress意為“給……留下印象”;present意為“授予,頒發(fā),展現(xiàn)”。
11.B。由語境可知,Monica是在給“我”講解遇到鱷魚時逃脫的技巧。give away意為“贈送,泄漏”;run away意為“跑開,逃離”;keep away意為“遠離”;move away意為“離開,搬到別處去住”。根據(jù)句意可知B項為最佳答案。
12.C。前面的“...to play in the yard close to the house.”有明顯的暗示。故選C項。
13.A。鱷魚之字形運動的方式不夠快 (fast),這樣被追趕者才能脫身。故A項符合句意。
14.D。作者以一個母親的身份講述了發(fā)生在自己身邊的一個故事,全文內容圍繞“我”和Monica展開。開頭“While my children grew up...”也有暗示。故答案為D項。
15.C。雖然“我”一再警告孩子們去湖邊玩兒很危險,Monica還是到那兒去了。她根本沒有理會/注意(notice)“我”的警告。receive意為“收到”;treasure意為“珍惜”;attach意為“把……固定,重視 (須與介詞to連用,構成attach importance to...)”。
16.A。下文以鴨子、鱷魚為例進行分析,由此可以推斷這里是說我們可以從這兩種動物中得到啟示。這也與全篇的語境相符。故答案為A項。
17.B。在作者的生活中,對孩子們來說鱷魚是潛藏的危險。這里說的是鱷魚代表(represent)世界上存在的災禍。serve 意為“服務”;imitate意為“模仿”;seek意為“尋求”。
18.B。根據(jù)語境可知,此處的意思是“潛伏在某處的災禍總想抓住(take hold of)我們并將我們拖入深淵。”break away from意為“脫離”;catch up with意為“跟上”;get rid of意為“除掉”。
19.C。由末段首句可知災禍可能隨時出現(xiàn),由此可以推斷人生的道路是很坎坷的(rough)。這一結論從后面的信息“will never be an easy one”也可推出。smooth意為“順利的”;muddy意為“泥濘的”;tough 意為“棘手的,嚴厲的”。
20.A??v觀全文可知,我們要告誡/提醒(remind)別人即將面臨的危險,也要把其他好心人的警告當回事兒。inform意為“通知”;convince意為“使信服”;suspect意為“懷疑”。
