词义猜测题

A

(2015·河北邢台市高三摸底考试)

Dear Mom and Dad，

Camp is great！I have met a lot of new friends.Jim is from California，Eric is from Iowa，and Tony is from Missouri.We have a great time together，swimming，boating，hiking，and playing tricks on other campers！Every night，we go to another tent secretly and try to scare other campers by making scary noises.It’s so funny to see them run out screaming！Now don’t worry，Mom.I’m not going to get caught like I did last year.

One thing that is different from last year is how many bugs there are！I have at least 100 mosquito bites and about 20 fire ant bites.Every time I go outside，horseflies chase me，too！Other than all these annoying bugs，I’m having the best time!

Love，

Tyler

Dear Tyler，

Are you sure you are okay？All of those bugs sound awful！Have you used all of the “Itch­Be­Gone” cream I got you？How about the“Ants’k Awful” lotion(护肤液)for the fire ant bites？You and your aunt Ethel have always seemed to attract those nasty fire ants.

Now Tyler，I am very happy that you have met some new friends and that you are having fun together.However，you must stop trying to scare other campers.Remember，honey，some campers may be scared easily.I want you to apologize for any anxiety you may have caused them and start being the nice，polite boy that I know you are.Do you hear me，Tyler？Please be careful.I want you to come home safely.

Love，

Mom

【解题导语】这是两封书信。第一封是Tyler写给父母的信，讲述了他有趣的宿营经历；第二封是母亲的回信，字里行间流露出对儿子的关爱。

1．Why did Tyler write the letter to his parents?

A．To describe his interesting camp experiences.

B．To express his regret about scaring others.

C．To ask his parents for advice about camping.

D．To tell his parents about his sufferings at camp.

解析：选A。细节理解题。第一封信的第一句“Camp is great”总领下文，Tyler给父母写信是为了讲述他有趣的宿营经历，故A项正确。

2．The underlined word “chase” in the first letter probably means“________”．A．fly away B．get rid of

C．put up with D．run after

解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据第一封信第二段的第二句“I have at least 100 mosquito bites and about 20 fire ant bites”可知，Tyler被蚊子和火蚁咬了，再结合画线词所在句的“horseflies chase me，too”中的too可知，此处chase表示“追赶”，即D项正确。

3．Tyler’s mother advises him to________．

A．buy more lotion for the bites

B．return with a few friends

C．avoid scaring other campers

D．turn to the police when in trouble

解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二封信第二段的第二句“However，you must stop trying to scare other campers”可知，选C项。

B

(2016·云南省师大附中第四次适应性考试)For twenty years，I saved all my college course notes and textbooks: that’s a lot of paper.

Worse，it’s not easy to carry them around—and trust me，they aren’t light —on at least seven moves.Yet I never once looked at them.They sat in our basement，covered in a thick layer of dust.If books and papers could wonder，they’d wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years.When would the Big Day come?

Well，the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected.My wife，always more accepting changes than I am，finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess.

The pain I experienced was also unexpected.What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers I’d written，which reminded me of my poor study habits，and an embarrassing lack of comprehension.It was great to get rid of them.But it was also a clearing of personal history.

At first，I struggled with this.The truth was in the record that my books，my notes，and my papers were primary source materials，documenting an important time in my life.To clear them out was to clear out the truth.

What I’ve learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth.I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isn’t in the documents but now in me.

So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden.And what’s better is that I don’t need to look back to those painful moments.They belong to the past.

You might want to consider doing something similar，either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind.

What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome.

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。下决心清除了堆积多年的大学课本和笔记后，作者从开始纠结“清除了过去的记录，就清除了过去的历史”到最终明白“过程才最重要”的道理。

4．Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?

A．Because his wife persuaded him to.
