Question

【題目】My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea.

My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 【4】，wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 【5】 in the new environment again.

Throughout the years of changing 【6】，schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood-my mother. For both my 【7】 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 【8】 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 【9】 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.

【10】 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother，【11】，managed to make each house to be the veiy home that is safe and 【12】 .

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live，【13】 with two small children："single" parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (無能）to 【14】 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 【15】 into adventure for us all! Each relocation (變換位置)was a chance to 【16】 another part of the world.

Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people. No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 【19】 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 【20】 all those years during my child-hood—she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

【解析】[語篇解讀]作者的父親在海軍服役，全家人都跟著他經(jīng)常搬家。而母親勇敢面對任何困難，給孩子們營造了一個溫楚安全的家。母親成了作者心目中的英雄。

【1】考查動詞短語辨析。句意：……“我們”不得不把我們的財產(chǎn)裝人盒子，而且把“我們”深愛的人們撇在后面。leave behind“把……撇在后面”；leave out “省略，遺漏”；leave off“停止，中斷”；leave for“動身去”。根據(jù)上文pack our belongings into boxes 和下文 arrive at our new home 可知 “我們”把深愛的人們撇在后面，所以選A項。

【2】句意:……發(fā)現(xiàn)“我們”又一次站在碼頭向父親揮手告別……。live“生活；居住”；stare “注視”；stand “站立”；go“去”. 根據(jù)下文 at the pier (碼頭）waving good-bye to my father可知“我們”站在碼頭和父親告別。故C項正確。

【3】 根據(jù)上文 My father was in the navy 和下文. . . the ship was. . . 可知父親乘坐艦船。

【4】句意“……在船只從視野里消失之前……” range“射程，范圍” ；shape“形狀”，out of shape表示：變形;control“控制”;out of control表示：失去控制。根據(jù)上下文可知此處指船只駛出視野。sight “視野”，out of sight看不見，在視野之外。

【5】句意“……又一次開始融入新環(huán)境的過程。”adapt“適應(yīng)”，與to搭配;suit“適應(yīng)”，為及物動詞，后不跟介詞；match“相配，相稱”，常用作及物動詞;fit“適應(yīng)”。根據(jù)語境可知“我們”要重新開始融入新的環(huán)境。fit in融入(群體）。

【6】句意“這些年的不斷變換地址、學(xué)校和朋友，……”根據(jù)上文可知“我們”經(jīng)常搬到新的地方，所以經(jīng)常換地址。

【7】句意：對于弟弟和“我”來說，……。根據(jù)上文My mother would turn my brother and I…可知 C 項正確。

【8】句意“母親不僅扮演著是廚師、女仆和老師的角色，她還做一份兼職工作。” perform“做;表演”，符合題意。seek“尋求，追求” ；wait“等待”；apply“使用”。

【9】句意“離開一份有前途的工作只是媽媽為家庭做出的許多犧牲之一，……”。program “節(jié)目，計劃"；sacrifice “犧牲” ；contribution“貢獻(xiàn)” ；cooperation“合作”。根據(jù)句意可知離開一份有前途的工作是一個犧牲。

【10】句意“雖然她不得不只處理一小筆預(yù)算，但媽媽……”A:一旦;B:雖然；C:當(dāng)……時；D:除非。while作為并列連詞時，表示對比，符合語境。

【11】句意“……但不知怎么地媽媽成功地……。” somewhere“在某處” ；somewhat“稍微，有點”；sometime“將來（或過去）某個時候”；somehow“以某種方式（法）；不知怎么地”。由語境可知母親雖然可用的錢很少，卻以某種方法使家充滿安全感。

【12】句意“……又安全又舒適的家。”romantic“浪漫的”；comfortable“舒適的”；mysterious “神秘的”；wealthy “富有的”。由句意可推斷出母親使家庭充滿了安全感和舒適感。

【13】句意“這可能聽起來是一種令人沮喪的生活方式，特別是帶著兩個小孩子……” generally“一般地，通常地”；actually “實際上，事實上” ；especially“特別，尤其” ；unfairly“不公平地”。

【14】句意“……不能發(fā)展一種職業(yè)或……” desert“離棄”；develop“發(fā)展”；affect “影響”；limit “限制”。由句意可知不能發(fā)展自己的職業(yè)。

【15】句意:她把這種生活方式變成了“我們”大家的探險。lifestyle“生活方式” ；value“價值，重要性” ；journey“旅行，行程”；opportunity“機(jī)會，良機(jī)”。由上文 a depressing way to live 可知應(yīng)選 lifestyle。

【16】句意“每一次變換位置都是一次探索世界另一部分的機(jī)會。” acquire“獲得，學(xué)到” ；explore“探索” ；occupy“占用，占領(lǐng)”；realize“意識到”。根據(jù)上文into adventure可知選B。

【17】句意“每一次新房子重新擺放家具……都是一次挑戰(zhàn)”load“負(fù)荷，裝載量”；sadness “悲哀”；result “結(jié)果，成績”；challenge“挑戰(zhàn)，困難”。根據(jù)語境可知此空與上文的chance相呼應(yīng)，所以D項正確。

【18】句意“……和懸掛圖片。” hang“懸掛"。根據(jù)語境可知應(yīng)為懸掛圖片。

【19】句意“……她總是有著積極的態(tài)度。” changeable“易變的，可改變的”；cautious“謹(jǐn)慎的”；positive “積極的”；negative“否定的，消極的”。根據(jù)上一段可知母親積極地對待生活。

【20】句意：在“我”童年的日子里媽媽就是如此的勇敢…。experienced“有經(jīng)驗的” ；brave“勇敢的”；ordinary“普通的”；annoyed“惱怒的”。根據(jù)上文可知母親很勇敢，積極地面對生活。
