9、t “开始”；agree “同意，商定”；continue “继续”；manage “完成，努力做到”。2A根据上文I felt a little uneasy和句中的but一词可知，但是作者感到有些宽慰的是，他有一个很好的借口。relief “宽慰，放松”；surprise“惊讶”；regret“后悔”；sorrow“难过，悲伤”。3Drun over 有“超过(预期的限额)”的意思，在此处表示会议的时间超出了原来预想的时间，这就是作者迟到的借口。break out“(火灾，战争等)爆发”；close down“倒闭”；fade away“减弱”。4C根据第一段内容可知，作者与妻子约定见面的
10、地点是一家餐馆，所以此处选C项。5A根据上文妻子所说的话，作者能够判断出妻子生气了。could“能够”；must“必须”；will“将要”；might“也许，可能”。6D根据语境可知，看到妻子生气了，作者继续解释迟到是无法避免的事情。movable“可移动的”；comfortable“舒适的”；acceptable“可接受的”；avoidable“可避免的”。7A该空的前后两个句子之间是转折关系，所以选用however。作者原本以为自己有一个很冠冕堂皇的理由，然而，他的解释却使情况变得更糟糕。8C根据语境可知，作者的借口使情况变得更糟了，事情的发展远远超出他的想象，这简直让他抓狂。由空格后面的
11、as well可知选C项。9D根据下文内容可知，几周后，作者向朋友描述了那天的情景。spread“展开”；write“书写”；translate“翻译”；describe“描述”。10B根据朋友的一番话可知，朋友觉得作者犯了一个典型的错误。make a mistake“犯错误”。11A朋友认为，作者一味困在自己的思维方式当中，没有考虑妻子的感受。be stuck in“被困在，陷入”。12D根据上文内容可知，作者不是故意迟到的。intend to do sth.为固定搭配，表示“想要做某事”，符合语境。13B根据前面的句子But thats not the point.可知，important
12、与the point相对应。重要的不是作者不想迟到这个事实，而是作者的迟到如何影响了他的妻子。14A作者看重的是意图而妻子看重的是结果。while在此处是并列连词，表示对比和转折。15C因为当事人就是作者和妻子两个人，所以此处用both 表示两人都感到被对方误解了并非常生气。16D根据语境Thinking more allout Kens words可知作者逐渐意识到夫妻两人出现争执的根本原因是什么。17BIts.that matters.是一个常见句型，意思是“重要的是”。inspire “激励，鼓舞”；matter “要紧，有重大影响”；improve “提高”；challenge “挑战
13、”。18A作者觉得当时自己应该首先表达自己的迟到行为如何影响了妻子，而不是一味给自己辩解。根据第14空之前的how your lateness affected Eleanor可知此空填how。19D作者仍然在反省，自己当时应该保留关于自己并不想迟到的意图的讨论，以后再提迟到的意图这件事，或者干脆不提。compare“比较”；report “报道”；finish “完成”；save “保留”。20C根据语境可知，后来，作者与妻子进行了沟通和交流，也真正理解了自己迟到这一后果对妻子的影响。show “展示”；satisfy “使满意”；understand “理解”；destroy “破坏”。C

21、 Dpreferred19A.sent Blent Coffered Dowed20A.confidence Bdignity Ccuriosity Dkindness答案与解析本文是一篇记叙文。作者受邀去佛罗里达参加一个会议，同时顺便度假。期间作者得到一位老太太善意的帮助，这位老太太的善良，给作者的这次度假留下了美好的回忆。1A根据第一段第一句、第二句“.just what the doctor ordered.”以及最后一段“.filled my brief holiday.”的提示，可知本空为holiday。这句话的意思是：我的家人劝说我，假期也正好是医生要求的，因此我就去了。故选A项。
22、2B解析参照1题。3C根据第二段第一句中的“.rather tiring, but I.”可知，作者克服了困难，最终打了个出租车去了住宿地点。这句话的意思是：到达阳光之州令人相当疲劳，但我还是设法打了辆出租车去了住宿地点并且住下来。故选C项。4D由第一段可知，作者去外地开会，因此排除A、B、C三项，同时第三段最后一句“.take me back to my accommodation.”也有提示，故D项正确。5D根据本句中“another”一词可知，前面已出现过一次，由一句内容可知为出租车，故D项正确。6C此处表示时间上的先后顺序，第二天早上(next morning)先购物，午餐(lunch
23、)在后，故选C项，later 此处表示“此后”。7B所有的桌子都满人了，因此才出现后面老太太和作者共用一张餐桌。classify “分类”；occupy “占据”，decorate “装饰”；paint “画，漆”。故选B项。8A由下文可知，老太太提出和作者共用一张餐桌。share “分享，共享”；reserve “保留，预订”；set “设置”；possess “拥有”。故选A项。9A根据第三段第五句“Im retired(退休).”可知A项正确。10B由上句“.we had a happy lunch together.”可知，这里是“进餐”。这句话的意思是：就在午餐快吃完的时候，她问我在
24、奥兰多要待多长时间。故选B项。11C这句话的意思是：我早已告诉她我以前从来没有租过车，没有意识到乘出租车会这么贵。因此才引出下文，老太太主动提出她开车带“我”去转转。故选C项。12D解析参照11题。13Dinspire “鼓励”；entertain “招待”；call “叫，打电话”；drive “驾驶，用车送”。根据下文老太太开车带着作者四处转，可知D项正确。14C根据下一句“.but she brushed aside my protests.”可知，作者不想给这位老太太添麻烦，但老太太对作者的反对置之不理。brush aside “不理，漠视”。故选C项。15Bwork “工作”；sta
25、y “停留，住在”；move “移动”；shop “购物”。由全文可知，作者去开会，顺便度假，因此是短暂停留，故选B项。16A前面信息是老太太坚持用车带“我”四处转转，并问我的住宿地点，这里应该是约好时间的。appoint “约定，指派”；limit “限制”；favourite “特别喜爱的”；regular “定期的”。故选A项。17Bdigest “消化”；explore “探究，探险”；perform “表现”；calculate “计算”。这句话的意思是：老太太离开了一段时间，让我自己独自游玩。只有explore 与旅游有关，故选B项。18C由本句“.take me back to
26、my accommodation.”可知，在天色将晚时，老太太返回把“我”送回到住宿地点。故选C项。19Csend “送”；lend “借”；offer “提供；主动给”；owe “欠”。这句话的意思是：我主动给老太太钱，但她不要一分钱。故选C项。20Dconfidence “信心”；dignity “尊严，高贵”；curiosity “好奇心”；kindness “善良，善心”。根据老太太的一系列表现可知这都是一种善意的帮助。故选D项。Cloze 3(2014四川卷)My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was s
