1.A.so B.but
C.for D.and
解析:考查语境理解。由前面的“early”“sunny”和后面的“wrong”可知这里用but表示转折关系,所以选用but。
答案:B
2.A.strangely B.interestingly
C.naturally D.impatiently
解析:考查语篇理解。前面提到“I felt that there was something wrong”,下文提到Tom患了严重的疾病,从而可以推断出班级同学表现异常,所以此处应选用strangly。
答案:A
3.A.spoke out B.pointed out
C.worked out D.found out
解析:考查语境中动词短语的辨析。speak out“毫无保留地说出”;point out“指出”;work out“解决;锻炼”;find out“发现,弄清楚”。由上下文语境可知作者后来得知Tom患了严重的疾病,所以选用found out。
答案:D
4.A.skin B.blood
C.lung D.brain
解析:考查信息后置。由下一段的首句可知Tom患了肺癌,所以选用lung。
答案:C
5.A.disappointing B.frightening
C.shocking D.amusing
解析:考查语境理解和常识。下文提到Tom擅长运动、身体健康,因此听说他患了肺癌,作者和同学们都很震惊,所以选用shocking。
答案:C
6.A.Therefore B.Thus
C.Besides D.Anyhow
解析:考查上下文之间的逻辑关系和副词的用法。therefore“因此”;thus“于是,因此”;besides“此外”; anyhow“无论如何,不管怎样”。上文提到他身体健康,下文提到他要动手术,构成了转折关系,所以选用Anyhow。
答案:D
7.A.intention B.suggestion
C.operation D.examination
解析:考查语境理解和信息后置。由最后一段的第一句和语境可以推断出Tom做了肺癌手术,所以选用operation。

解析:考查语境理解和常识。由后面的“medical examinations”及常识可知他回到医院进行检查,所以选用hospital。

解析:考查语境中动词的用法。此处要表达的意思是:癌症转移到了大脑,所以选用moved。
答案:D

C.honest D.reliable
解析:考查语境中形容词的用法。由Tom的不幸遭遇及前面的“God, why do you do this”可知作者叹息这不公平(fair),所以选用fair。
答案:A
11.A.held B.lost
C.rebuilt D.kept
解析:考查语境中动词的用法和信息后置。这里用“lost”表示失去信心和希望,文章的最后一句也有信息的重现,所以选用lost。
答案:B
12.A.need B.wonder
C.chance D.doubt
解析:考查语境中名词的用法。选项中的四个词都可以用于“There is no...”这一句式结构中,这里要表达的是:他们甚至认为Tom没有机会存活下来,所以选用chance。
答案:C
13.A.give off B.give up

C.in D.at
解析:考查介词用法。对身体某个部位进行手术应该用介词on,应该选用on。
答案:A
