24、合語境。meet意為“遇見”;recognize意為“認可;認出”;remember意為“記得”。 2.D　根據(jù)第一句中的how poor we were及常識可推知,作者和媽媽之所以選擇在晚上去買圣誕樹,是因為在那個時間段圣誕樹的價格往往會下降。price意為“價格”,符合語境。sale意為“銷售”;order意為“訂單”;demand意為“需求”。 3.A　根據(jù)上句中的get the Christmas tree可知,此處表示作者和媽媽前往一個位于停車場中出售圣誕樹的商店。sell意為“售賣”,符合語境。store意為“儲存”;show意為“展示;展覽”;design意為“設(shè)計”。

25、4.C　根據(jù)前文中的mother smiled to a salesman和后文中的“Can it be a little cheaper?”可推知,此處表示媽媽詢問售貨員的時候面帶微笑,但是在得知樹的價格之后,臉上的笑容消失了,此處smile為原詞復現(xiàn)。pride意為“驕傲”;satisfaction意為“滿意”;confidence意為“自信”。 5.D　根據(jù)答語中的I just work here.及常識可知,此處表示售貨員剛到這兒工作,沒有權(quán)利更改價格。right意為“權(quán)利”,符合語境。duty意為“義務(wù)”;reason意為“原因”;excuse意為“借口”。 6.B　根據(jù)常理并結(jié)

26、合選項可推知,此處應(yīng)表示,店員突然指向停車場角落的一堆樹枝。suddenly意為“突然”,符合語境。otherwise意為“否則”;therefore意為“因此”;impatiently意為“不耐煩地”。 7.C　根據(jù)前文的pointed to a pile of branches并結(jié)合選項可知,此處表示店員指著停車場角落,問作者的媽媽是否能看見那堆被砍下來的樹枝,本空前省略了Can you。 8.A　句意為:我們不停地感謝他,然后匆匆地跑向他所指的樹枝堆后方,(結(jié)果)發(fā)現(xiàn)了一棵幾乎沒有樹枝的小樹。根據(jù)前文的Behind it is a tree we can’t sell.可知,店員說樹

27、枝堆后面有一棵樹。因此作者和媽媽應(yīng)是走向樹枝堆的后面,故back符合語境,意為“后面”。top意為“頂部”;front意為“前面”;bottom意為“底部”。 9.D　結(jié)合上文可知,堆樹枝的地方離店員還有一段距離,所以作者的媽媽詢問的時候要提高音量。call out意為“大聲呼叫”,符合語境。give out意為“分發(fā);發(fā)出”;try out意為“試驗”;check out意為“結(jié)賬離開;仔細檢查”。 10.A　結(jié)合選項和常識可知,此處表示作者和媽媽把樹和樹枝拉回家,放到了客廳里。place意為“放置”,符合語境。 11.C　根據(jù)第8空所在句中的discovered a small tr

28、ee with few branches可知,售貨員指給作者媽媽的那棵樹上的樹枝不多。branchless意為“沒有樹枝的”,符合語境。leafless意為“沒有葉子的”;valueless意為“沒有價值的”;meaningless意為“沒有意義的”。 12.B　根據(jù)上句的many decorations并結(jié)合常識可知,買回家的圣誕樹要進行裝飾。decorate意為“裝飾”,符合語境。irrigate意為“灌溉”;explore意為“探索”;preserve意為“保存”。 13.A　根據(jù)后文可知,第二天早上,作者沖到客廳的時候,發(fā)現(xiàn)樹上掛滿了東西,這與昨晚拉回來的樹形成了巨大的反差,所以此

29、處表示作者感到很吃驚。surprise意為“驚訝”,符合語境。credit意為“信貸;學分”;terror意為“恐懼”;worry意為“擔心”。 14.D　結(jié)合上文可知,作者和媽媽拉回來的樹上樹枝不多,但是經(jīng)過媽媽的修剪和裝飾之后,這棵樹“枝繁葉茂”,顯得很自然。natural意為“自然的”,符合語境。regular意為“經(jīng)常的;有規(guī)律的”;initial意為“最初的”;familiar意為“熟悉的”。 15.B　根據(jù)句中的examined the tree closely及常理可知,作者仔細檢查這棵樹是出于好奇。out of curiosity意為“出于好奇”,符合語境。respect意

30、為“尊重”;sympathy意為“同情”;anxiety意為“焦慮”。 16.C　根據(jù)句意可知,此處指媽媽將拉回來的廢棄樹枝用金屬絲固定在樹上。abandoned意為“廢棄的”,符合語境。donated意為“捐贈的”;rotten意為“腐爛的”;broken意為 “壞的”。 17.A　根據(jù)句中的get its perfect shape可知,此處應(yīng)表示為了得到完美的樹形,作者的媽媽精心修剪了這棵樹。with care意為“精心地”,符合語境。by accident意為“偶然地”;at random意為“隨意地”;in public意為“公開地”。 18.C　根據(jù)第一段第三句中的Dad

31、was serving overseas可知,作者的爸爸在國外工作,此處應(yīng)表示爸爸數(shù)周之后回到了家里。return意為“返回”,符合語境。sacrifice意為“犧牲”;succeed意為“成功;繼承”;recover意為“恢復”。 19.B　結(jié)合語境可知,此處表示作者給爸爸講述了圣誕樹的故事,故本空應(yīng)選tree,呼應(yīng)本文的主題。loss意為“損失”;festival意為“節(jié)日”;ceremony意為“儀式”。 20.D　句意為:從那之后,我度過了很多精彩的節(jié)日,但是那年的圣誕節(jié)一直是我的最愛。根據(jù)常理可知,此處應(yīng)用favorite表示那個圣誕節(jié)是作者最愛的節(jié)日。secret意為“秘密”;pain意為“痛苦”;regret意為“遺憾”。 7
