试题分析：此篇完形填空的文章原型来源于一片叫作“The Blind Bus Passenger”的文章。讲的是一个盲人乘客的故事。 【小题1】D考查动词。A. touch摸索，感知；B. grab抢先，抢占；C. count数数;计算总数;把…算入;重要；D. feel摸索，感知。考生要知道盲人是看不见的，所有的动作都是靠摸索的，其实这是常识问题，据此可知应该选择“feel”(摸索，感知), 而不应该是“有目的”地去“touch”（触碰）； 【小题2】C考查名词。A. weakness 弱点；B. sickness病；C. darkness黑暗；D. sadness伤心。盲人陷入到黑暗的世界，这种表达在中文里面我们也使用，所以明显应该是“a world of darkness”； 【小题3】B考查动词。A. run跑；B. sink下沉；C. jump跳；D. step举步，行走。单纯考查词汇，sink into hopeless, 描述人陷入到绝望之中，“sink”表示下沉，和人陷入绝望的状态是符 合的。 【小题4】B考查动词。A. inspired鼓舞；B. determined 决定；C. honored尊敬；D. pleased使高兴。be determined to do sth. 这是新概念二册中的重点句型，下决心做某事，当然你也可以用 make up one’s mind to do sth.故选B。 【小题5】A 考查动词。A. return归还，返回；B. adjust调整；C. honored尊敬；D. pleased使高兴。人残志不残，她想回到工作之中去，作返回来讲return 是一个不及物动词，因为选D。 【小题6】D 考查形容词。A. tired 感到累；B. astonished感到惊讶；C. depressed感到沮丧；D. frightened感到害怕。句意：她过去习惯坐公共汽车，但是她现在太害怕而不敢单独在这个城市四处走动。frightened表示恐惧，故选D。 【小题7】A考查动词。A. volunteered自愿去做；B. attempted企图；C. continued继续；D. struggled努力，挣扎。volunteer表示志愿去帮助Susan，现在很流行志愿者，所以大家不会对这个词感到陌生。故选A。 【小题8】C 考查状语从句。A. when当---时候；B. as随着---；C. until直到---为止；D. after在---之后。句意：Mark自愿每天早上和晚上和Susan一起乘公共汽车，直到她自已能单独做这件事为止。故选C。until在这里是连词，引导时间状语从句。状语从句是重点语法，大家要注意学习了 【小题9】C考查动词。A. drove 驾驶；B. directed指导；C. accompanied 陪伴；D. sent寄送。accompany表示“陪伴”，既然Mark是来帮助Susan的，显然就来陪伴她的，故选C。 【小题10】D考查名词。A. feelings感觉；B. organs器官；C. skills技能；D. senses感觉，官能。可知盲人失去的是 “sight”实力，其它的sense（感觉）还是存在的，故选D。 【小题11】B考查名词。A. position位置；B. environment环境；C. status地位；D. role角色。 简单的词汇辨析题，盲人需要适应的是新的environment（环境），而不是新的position（位置）等到，故选B。 【小题12】A考查介词短语。A. on her own靠自己；B. in person亲自；C. to her benefit为了自己的利益；D. on foot步行。on one’s own表示“靠某人自己”本文一直都是在表扬这位盲人的毅力和坚持，希望能够靠自己来维持自己的正常生活。故选A。 【小题13】D考查副词。A. politely有礼貌地；B. calmly冷静地；C. briefly简短地；D. tightly紧紧地，坚固地，牢固地。试想，拥抱自己的丈夫，而且是在分别的时候，感慨万千的时候，应该有的动作当然是 “tightly”（紧紧地），而不是其它的类似于politely（礼貌地），故选D。 【小题14】B考查形容词。A. opposite相反的；B. separate分开的；C. fixed固定的；D. lonely孤独的，寂寞的。在接受了别人的帮助后，Susan终于要独自一人登上旅程了。他们各自走各自的路， “separate”表示“分别的”，其实她的背后有很多默默支持她的人，显然不是 “lonely”（孤独的）这样的词。故选B。 【小题15】D考查动词短语。A. took charge of掌管；C. took place of代替；C. took advantage of利用；D. took hold of吸引。句意：每天都在完美的进行，一个疯狂的兴奋吸引了Susan。故选D。 【小题16】A考查介词短语。A. as usual像往常一样；B. as a rule作为一条规则；C. as well 也；D. as a consequence因而，结果。as usual（像往常一样），表示经常发生的动作再次发生。故选A。 【小题17】B 考查动词。A. respect尊重；B. envy嫉妒；C. know 知道；D. support支持。envy（嫉妒，羡慕）仔细阅读下面的文章，不难发现，司机是准备告诉Susan一个秘密。也就是要告诉她有很多人在默默地支持和关怀她。所以，根据上下文的理解，可以知道此刻司机是要表达一种羡慕嫉妒之情，也是对Susan的一种宽慰，故选B。 【小题18】C考查疑问词。A. what 什么；B. how怎样；为什么；C. why ；D. who谁。句意：Susan好奇地问为什么。故选C。 【小题19】A考查形容词。A. past过去的；B. same 相同的；C. first 第一；D. next下一个。在过于的几个星期中，英文应该是 “for the past week” “next”表示的是下周，还没发生的事情是不可能用完成时的，而且 “for”+一段时间，是现在完成时的时间状语标志，故选A。 【小题20】C考查名词。A. courage勇气；B. will愿意;意志；C. sight视力；D. wisdom明智。sight表示“视力”。文中指的是，Susan虽然失去了视力，但是获得了更多宝贵的东西。 考点：考查故事类阅读。
