【答案及解析】
【语篇解读】作者五岁时父亲经常让她帮忙洗梳子，她感到很快乐，后来父亲忙于事业，每天回来很晚，作者和母亲对父亲不理解。

当作者再次为父亲洗梳子时已是在她28岁生日之时，这时她看到父亲笑的时候眼角有皱纹，意识到父亲老了，为了她和母亲能过上幸福生
活，这些年父亲付出的太多太多。

1．C。

根据文章开头“Dad had a green comb”和第二段“…and brush the comb carefully”以及后面的信息“I would happily return the comb to Dad”可知，父亲把“梳子”递给她，说“乖女儿，帮爸爸洗一下梳子，好吗？”
2．D。

根据后文中的“I would excitedly…，Satisfied that …，I would happily return the comb to Dad”等信息词可推理出，作者很“乐意”为爸爸洗梳子。

annoyed意为“恼怒的；烦恼的”；relieved意为“放心的；轻松的”；ashamed意为“惭愧的”；pleased意为“高兴的；乐意的”。

故选D项。

3．A。

根据常识可知，五岁儿童以能为父亲做点事情而感到骄傲自豪，因此可推知给父亲洗梳子能给她带来很大的乐趣。

joy意为“欢乐；快乐，乐趣”；sadness意为“悲伤”；courage意为“勇气；胆量”；pain意为“疼痛”。

故选A项。

4．D。

根据后文“…and brush the comb carefully”可知，作者兴奋地“打开”水龙头。

turn out意为“结果是；证明是”；turn over意为“翻过来”；turn in意为“上缴”；turn on 意为“打开(开关、水龙头、阀门等)”。

故选D项。

5．B。

爸爸常常亲切地对“我”微笑，把梳子放进他的钱包里。

根据affectionately可知应选B项。

最后一段“He smiled at me and …”也有暗示。

stare at意为“凝视，注视”；shout at意为“对……喊叫，叫骂”，含有责备之意；laugh at意为“嘲笑”。

6．B。

两年后父亲创办了自己的企业，经营不太好。

根据下一段“After my graduation, Dad's business was getting back on track”可知，此处应选B项。

7．B。

这个时候情况发生了变化。

根据下文“父亲不再像从前那样每天早早地回家”可知，应选B项。

8．C。

“我”和妈妈都生气，他使家庭陷入困境。

根据语境可知选C项。

9．A。

随着时间的推移，“我们”之间渐渐产生不愉快的沉默。

作者从五岁起给父亲洗梳子，七岁时父亲忙于创办企业每天晚上很晚回家，直到作者二十八岁生日才理解了父亲的忙碌，可见时间跨度之大。

with time意为“随着时间的推移”，“随着岁月的流逝”，符合语境和句意。

10．B。

在“我”二十八岁生日这天父亲早早地回了家。

作者小时候父亲每天晚上都是早早地回家，后来自己创办了企业，由于忙于事业，父亲不再像从前那样早早地回家，可知作者28岁生日这天父亲又早早地回家了。

11．C。

当“我”转身离开的时候，他说“嗨，你能帮我洗梳子吗”。

由下文“I passed the clean comb back to Dad”可知，父亲请女儿给他洗梳子，clean意为“洗干净”，故选C 项。

sharpen意为“削尖；磨快”。

12．B。

“我”看了父亲一会儿，然后拿起梳子向水池走去。

根据最后一段“I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me…”可知，“我”拿起父亲的梳子去洗了。

13．C。

帮助父亲洗梳子是那么快乐的一件事。

由文章内容可知作者从五岁时就帮助父亲洗梳子，故选C项。

14．D。

帮助父亲洗梳子意味着父亲每天早早地回家与“我”和母亲一起度过每个夜晚。

下文“a happy and loving family”亦有暗示。

15．C。

这意味着一个幸福恩爱的家庭。

全家人一起其乐融融意味着家庭幸福和谐，故选C项。

16．D。

他对“我”微笑着，小心地把梳子放进钱包里。

下文说父亲上了年纪，笑的时候眼角起皱纹，结合当时的情景可推知应选D项。

firmly意为“坚定地；坚决地”。

17．A。

可是这一次，“我”注意到了一些不同的情况。

这一次帮父亲洗梳子已经是二十多年后的事情，父亲老了，笑的时候眼角泛起皱纹，把梳子放进钱包的动作也是小心翼翼，这些变化都是与二十年前不同的。

urgent意为“紧急的”。

18．D。

虽然他笑的时候眼角有皱纹，可是他的微笑仍然和从前一样温暖人心。

此时女儿已经理解父亲这么多年为家庭的付出，在女儿看来，虽然父亲眼角长出皱纹可是亦然可敬可爱，两个分句之间是转折关系，故选D项。

19．B。

可是他的微笑仍然和从前一样温暖人心。

一位想给家人幸福生活的父亲的微笑自然是“温暖人心的”。

由语境再结合常识可知，女儿感觉父亲带着皱纹的微笑使她感到温暖。

convincing意为“令人信服的；有说服力的”；heartwarming意为“暖人心房的”；cautious意为“谨慎的；小心的”；innocent意为“无辜的；无罪的”。

故选B项。

20．B。

由常识可知父亲创办企业，增加家庭收入，为的是给家人带来更好的生活。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017河南鹤壁高级中学9月周练，C)
Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago.He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made.The orbit(轨道) of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem.He could not figure it out.Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician.Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形)．
Now Halley set to work.He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit.Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley.Three different comets followed the same orbit.The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets as people thought.He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times.The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future.He decided that this would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky.Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before.Ever since then that comet had been called Halley's comet, in his honor.
()1.Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of________.
A．some different comets appearing several times
B．the same comet appearing at different times
C．three different comets appearing at the same time
D．several comets appearing at the same time
()2.Halley made his discovery ________.
A．by doing experiments
B．by means of his own careful observation
C．by using the working of other scientists
D．by chance
()3.Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year________.
A．1703 B．1705
C．1707D．1708
()4.This passage in general is about ________.
A．Halley and other scientists
B．the orbit of a comet
C．Newton and Halley
D．Halley and his discovery

Hi Grace，
How's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed for a while, but I had so much to do!
I had told you about my decision to take up a sport. I knew I wasn't fit and I wanted to get some exercise. But that wasn't the only reason that I decided to do a sport. Students who play sports do better at school.__1__Exercise also helps learning and memory.
__2__First, I tried soccer. I had played a bit of soccer before and I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I knew I couldn't run for very long without feeling tired. On the first day, I was able to run for the first ten minutes, but then I was so tired that I couldn't even kick the ball!
Then, I tried volleyball.__3__I was able to run for the first twenty minutes and I wasn't the slowest runner in the team! After a few weeks, I could run faster and longer. I was doing better and feeling better.__4__Maybe I'm not a team sport person after all!
Finally, I tried Kung fu. It's a great sport that exercise the body and the mind. You learn to
follow instructions carefully and do what you are asked to do. This is the right sport for me！__5__I feel so confident that I even showed some moves to the class last week! Can you believe it？I hope you're OK! Write and let me know what you've been doing!
Bye for now!
Kristie

跑步、足球都不适合作者，排球打得越来越好，然而却发现排球太乏味。

终于作者寻找到了适合自己的，即练习功夫。

1．F。

根据句意“他们更自信更少压力”及“Students who play sports do better at school”进行体育运动的学生学习更好可知，F项是承接这一句继续叙述这些学生的内容，故选F。

2．B。

根据句意“但我不能决定一项运动”及后面内容跑步、足球都不适合作者可知，答案选B。

3．D。

根据句意“这次情况更好一点了”及本段以下内容可知，作者排球打得越来越好。

故选D。

4．E。

根据句意“然后我发现排球太乏味”及“Maybe I'm not a team sport person after all”可知，也许毕竟“我”不是一个专业的运动员，故选E。

5．G。

根据句意“我一周练习两次没落下一节课”及本段内容可知，作者练习功夫感觉自信了并且给同学们表演了几个动作可知答案，故填G。

Ⅳ.短文改错
(2017河北武邑中学高三第一次调研)
The other day, I was invited my friend Sam's home for dinner.I felt a bit surprising when I saw Bill there.It was two month since we two had quarreled, so I was embarrassed and didn't
know how to do.I sat down on the sofa but began to watch ter Sam came to ask me to make up with Bill.Until then I realize that Sam had arranged the meeting on purpose.He went up to Bill and greeted him warmly, smiled at him.He looked very happily and talked with me excitedly.That night, we had a great fun together.
【答案及解析】
1．invited后加上to。

invite sb.to some place “邀请某人到某地”。

本句用的是被动语态，即sb.be invited to my friend Sam's home，故前面加上to。

2．surprising改为surprised。

表示主语“感到惊讶”时，应使用过去分词。

3．month改为months。

数词two后需接名词复数形式。

4．how改为what。

及物动词后缺宾语，故使用代词what。

5．but 改为and。

“sat down on the sofa”和“began to watch TV”是两个并列的动作，故用and。

6．realize 改为realized。

根据语境可知，文章描述过去的事情，故使用一般过去时。

7．He 改为I 。

句意：我走向Bill，热情地问候他。

8．smiled改为smiling。

非谓语动词smile与句子主语构成主动关系。

故使用现在分词作伴随状语。

9．happily改为happy。

系动词look后需接形容词作表语。

10．去掉fun前的a。

fun为不可数名词，前面不需要冠词。
