解析【小题1】答案:A 根据2空后的“there wouldn't be any birthday visitors”可知,Annie因为没有人为她过生日而感到有点孤独(lonely)。
误区警示:考生容易误选alone。做好此题的关键在于正确地理解lonely和alone的区别。lonely表示“孤独的,寂寞的”,带有浓重的感情色彩;alone意为“独自的,单独的”,侧重说明独自一人,强调的是客观事实。
【小题2】答案:B 作者给Annie购买礼物,暗示着Annie的家境不是很富裕。finances表示“财务情况”。
【小题3】答案:C 根据13空后的“The real fun was packing them to be sent.”可知,作者想给Annie寄(send)贺卡和礼物。
【小题4】答案:D Annie收到礼物自然会感到高兴,brighten表示 “使快活起来”,符合语境。
【小题5】答案:C 作者想给Annie寄生日礼物,必然需要她的学校地址,因此选address。
【小题6】答案:A 下文讲述了作者给Annie准备礼物的过程,因此此处指作者有了一个主意(idea)。
【小题7】答案:B 作者想(thought)也许需要再多一点庆祝生日时的欢乐氛围。
【小题8】答案:C 作者买了一些气球、生日帽和其他的(other)新颖小巧而价廉的物品。
【小题9】答案:C 11空前的“making the recording”表明,作者是用录音机(recorder)录下人们的歌声。
【小题10】答案:B 12空后的“so it really sounded like we had a party going on”暗示着人们为她唱(sing)了生日快乐歌。
【小题11】答案:D 其他人发现(found out) 我们在做什么时也加入进来。
【小题12】答案:A 作者本来请了三个人唱歌,结果其他人发现了也跟着一起唱。add表示“添加,增加”。
【小题13】答案:B 3空后的“a card and maybe a small gift”表明作者起初想买贺卡和礼物,因此选originally,表示“起初,原来”。
【小题14】答案:C 此空后的“it was like opening a mini birthday party”暗示作者在精心布置(arranged) 一切。
【小题15】答案:D 在把它们寄出去之前(before)的最后时刻作者又添加了一包纸杯蛋糕和一盒生日蜡烛。
【小题16】答案:A 文章开头的“was away for her first semester at college”表明Annie在学校,因此选dormitory“寝室”
【小题17】答案:B 20空后的“it was the most fun birthday she would remember”表明Annie很高兴(happy)。
【小题18】答案:C 作者很高兴Annie有一些朋友可以与她一起分享(share)这特别的一天。
【小题19】答案:C 这是一个既容易又有趣的(fun)事情。fun意为“有趣的”;funny意为“使人发笑的,滑稽的”。
误区警示:考生容易误选funny。做好此题的关键在于正确地理解fun和funny的区别。fun除了作不可数名词外,还可以作形容词,意为“有趣的”,而funny意为“使人发笑的,滑稽的,奇异的”。
【小题20】答案:D Annie告诉(told) 作者这会是她能记住的最有趣的一个生日。
