山东 李卫东

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 (短吻鳄).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 (隐藏着)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.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个发生在作者身边的故事。为了避免孩子受到鳄鱼的伤害,作者告诫孩子不要到离家不远的湖边去玩耍。可是五岁的Monica却独自去了那里并带回一只“迷途的”小鸭子。这件事让作者顿生感慨。

1.D。联系上一句的意思可知,“我”告诫孩子不要到有水的地方去。go与语境相符。

2.C。由于担心来自鳄鱼的伤害,“我”只允许(allow)Monica在房子附近的院子里玩儿。advise意为“建议”;persuade意为“说服”;order意为“命令”,均不符合题意。

3.D。根据语境可知,“我”一眼看不见(out of sight),她就跑到不远处的湖边去了。within reach 意为“够得到”;out of reach 意为“够不到”;in sight意为“看得见”。

4.A。Monica走近正在休息的鸭群,发现 (spot)一只小鸭子独自游荡,她以为这只鸭子走丢了。recognize意为“辨认,承认”;analyze意为“分析”;imagine意为“想象”。

5.B。Monica带着小鸭子跑回家来,breathlessly(气喘吁吁地)符合语境。carelessly意为“粗心地”;nervously意为“紧张不安地”;gradually意为“逐渐地”。

6.C。显然,空白处后面的“Look,Mommy,I found one duck that was lost.Can I keep it”透露出Monica的兴奋劲儿。satisfaction意为“满足”;anxiety意为“焦虑”;curiosity意为“好奇”。

7.B。综合开头一段及空白处后面所述的原因,可推断“我”对孩子的举动很生气(angry)。delighted意为“快乐的”;content意为“满意的”;refreshed意为“精神焕发的”。

8.A。根据前文所述及最末一段的首句“...about the dangers that lurk around...”可知A项与语境吻合。

9.A。前面提到“我”警告孩子不要去湖边玩儿,否则会有受到鳄鱼袭击的危险。由此可知答案为A项。

10.D。从下文Monica的言谈举止中不难看出,她向“我”展示(show)在学校里学到的技能。offer意为“提供”;impress意为“给……留下印象”;present意为“授予,颁发,展现”。

11.B。由语境可知,Monica是在给“我”讲解遇到鳄鱼时逃脱的技巧。give away意为“赠送,泄漏”;run away意为“跑开,逃离”;keep away意为“远离”;move away意为“离开,搬到别处去住”。根据句意可知B项为最佳答案。

12.C。前面的“...to play in the yard close to the house.”有明显的暗示。故选C项。

13.A。鳄鱼之字形运动的方式不够快 (fast),这样被追赶者才能脱身。故A项符合句意。

14.D。作者以一个母亲的身份讲述了发生在自己身边的一个故事,全文内容围绕“我”和Monica展开。开头“While my children grew up...”也有暗示。故答案为D项。

15.C。虽然“我”一再警告孩子们去湖边玩儿很危险,Monica还是到那儿去了。她根本没有理会/注意(notice)“我”的警告。receive意为“收到”;treasure意为“珍惜”;attach意为“把……固定,重视 (须与介词to连用,构成attach importance to...)”。

16.A。下文以鸭子、鳄鱼为例进行分析,由此可以推断这里是说我们可以从这两种动物中得到启示。这也与全篇的语境相符。故答案为A项。

17.B。在作者的生活中,对孩子们来说鳄鱼是潜藏的危险。这里说的是鳄鱼代表(represent)世界上存在的灾祸。serve 意为“服务”;imitate意为“模仿”;seek意为“寻求”。

18.B。根据语境可知,此处的意思是“潜伏在某处的灾祸总想抓住(take hold of)我们并将我们拖入深渊。”break away from意为“脱离”;catch up with意为“跟上”;get rid of意为“除掉”。

19.C。由末段首句可知灾祸可能随时出现,由此可以推断人生的道路是很坎坷的(rough)。这一结论从后面的信息“will never be an easy one”也可推出。smooth意为“顺利的”;muddy意为“泥泞的”;tough 意为“棘手的,严厉的”。

20.A。纵观全文可知,我们要告诫/提醒(remind)别人即将面临的危险,也要把其他好心人的警告当回事儿。inform意为“通知”;convince意为“使信服”;suspect意为“怀疑”。
