　　答案與解析

　　2．B　從下文中 the necklace he found 可以斷定這根項鏈曾是不見了或丟了。故選B項。

　　3．D　I was told 表示有人告訴“我”，是被動的關系。答案為D。

　　4．C　make a fortune (in) doing sth.表示“做某事發了大財”。在本句中表示“賣了項鏈能夠發大財”。

　　5．A　既然 returned it，對于失主來說自然是件幸運的事情。副詞 luckily 常用來作插入語，表示“幸運的是”。

　　6．A　nurse 在這里為動詞，相當于 take care of，意為“照顧，護理”。

　　7．B　根據媽媽去世這個背景，圣誕節是個家人團圓的日子，故此時會格外難過，因此選B。

　　8．D　從上文對于這個小村子的描述來看，作者是會立刻喜歡上的，選D項。immediately 立刻地。

　　9．C　be supposed to do sth.意為“原本做某事”，在本句中意為“原本只是個計劃的小旅程”。

　　10．D　由于媽媽的去世，作者的感受是沉重的，而這次旅行讓她感受到比以前輕松的感覺。light 常用來表示輕快的心情。

　　11．B　從 as a hotel manager 可以斷定是“被招聘，被雇用”。

　　13．C　still 一詞表示作者的沉痛心情依舊沒有擺脫。與上文的不想談婚論嫁保持語境的一致。

　　14．B　push sb.常用來表示“催促某人”。即保羅非常理解“我”，因此沒有催促“我”結婚。

　　15．A　根據上文提到的 as a hotel manager 可以斷定，此處是開起了自己的旅館。

　　16．A　從下文給出的種種細節可以推測出作者想把旅館擺設成家的樣子，讓顧客有一種家的感覺。homely 為形容詞，“家一樣的”。

　　17．B　既然媽媽都已經去世了，她坐過的椅子應該是過去是在她的房間里的，選項B表示過去曾發生的事情。

　　18．D　看到媽媽的椅子，就如同感覺到媽媽也在，也是這個家的一部分，故選D，表示感受，感覺。

　　19．C　if it wasn't for sth.意為“如果不是因為某事”，由此可見，前后信息之間存在因果關系，因為那條項鏈正是促成兩人婚姻的橋梁，故選C，表示原因。

　　20．D　正是因為上文提到的丟失項鏈，找到項鏈，并由此有了婚姻，因此此處選擇項鏈是最合適的。

　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　(2011·江西高考)“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣櫥)？”Jessica asked.“A skeleton in the closet？” her mother paused thoughtfully.“Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be‘a skeleton in his family's closet'.He really wouldn't want any neighbor to know about it.”

　　“Why pick on my family？” Jessica's father said with anger.“Your family history isn't so good, you know.Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes？”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked.I think I understand now.” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

　　After dinner, the house was very quiet.Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other.Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet.Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.Jessica's mother sank into a faint (暈倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

　　“What happened? Where am I？” she asked.“You just destroyed the school's skeleton，Mum.” explained Jessica.“I brought it home to help me with my health project.I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly.“They're both crazy.” she thought.

　　1．According to Jessica's mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means________.

　　A．a family honour

　　B．a family secret

　　C．a family story

　　答案與解析

　　[語篇解讀]　本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一個關于“誤解”的故事。女兒從學校帶回了一具骷髏，并把它放進了衣柜里，想提醒母親注意，但是母親誤以為女兒想問的是“柜子里有骷髏架”的比喻義，所以就以丈夫的家庭舉了例子，可是女孩的父親卻誤以為妻子侮辱他的家族，他們因此吵起來了。直到母親被柜子里的骷髏架嚇倒后，女孩的父母才知道是怎么回事。

　　1．B　細節理解題。根據第一段Jessica母親所舉的例子可以看出答案為B項。

　　2．A　推理判斷題。由第二段中“you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners”可以歸納出大部分澳大利亞人的祖先都是罪犯。C項錯在in Australia，他們的祖先不是在澳大利亞犯罪，而是在別處(英國)犯罪被遣送到澳大利亞。

　　3．B　細節理解題。根據第三段a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor一句可知，白骷髏架應該把她嚇壞了，故答案為B項。

　　4．C　細節理解題。根據最后一段女兒的解釋I brought it home to help me with my health project.可知。
