试题分析:文章讲述了“我”做为一名邮递员一时的疏忽把信给送错了,收到信的这个女士把信送到了它真正的主人的手里,碰巧的是两个人都是单身,从此他们都对对方有了感情。正是我的大意成就了两个人的结合,成就了一桩幸福的婚姻。

1.B考查名词的词义。句意为:七年前的一天,我开车去一个邮箱。telephone 电话; mailbox 邮箱,邮筒;school 学校;shop 商店。由前文我是一个邮递员可知这里是去信箱。

2.A考查名词词义。句意为:一个离了婚的年轻女士站在路边正在等我,她说要给我讲个故事。Story故事;notice通知,通告; fact真相,事实; message消息,信息。从下文来看,应是一个故事。

3.B考查副词词义。句意为:大约在六个月前。after adv 在---之后;earlier adv 更早,早在---之前;later adv 后来;ago adv在---之前。 One day several years ago是七年前的事情,由此可知,这个女士告诉我的应该是在此之前的六个月,所以应为更早之前。故答案应为B

4.C考查动词词义。句意为:我邮递给她了一封信,上面有她的街道号。sent 送,派遣;written 写; delivered 邮递;given 给。因为我是一句邮递员,所以这里应为邮递的意思,答案应为C。

5.D考查名词词义。 句意为:上面有她的街道号。这里下文的第六个空number是一个提示。mark 标志,符号; sign迹象,记号;board 木板,甲板; number 数,号码。

6.C考查形容词词义。句意为:街道号相同而街道的名字不同,所以有相同的街道号,正是这一点,作者把信给送错了。correct adj 正确的;  wrong adj 错误的; same adj 相同的;different adj 不同的。

7.B考查动词短语的含义。句意:她决定把这封信给正确的主人送过去。put down     镇压,记下;drop off      放下,放弃;hand out         分发,施舍;give away 泄露。这里是把这封信送去。

8.D考查动词短语的意思。句意为:这封信正是给Johnson的。provided 提供,供给;prepared为---做准备;inferred 推测出的;intended打算为---所用,预定给---。所以答案应为D。

9.B考查短语的含义。句意为:这个人正好也是单身。free adj 自由的;single adj 单一的,单身的;lonely adj 寂寞的;simple adj 简单的。所以应为B。

10.C考查动词词义。句意为:后来,他就打电话给她,然后他们就开始约会。left     离开; invited邀请;called 打电话;         introduced 介绍。由后面的约会可知先是打电话沟通,而不是邀请。

11.A考查动词短语的含义。句意从那时起,他们开始一起外出。go out 外出;go in参加,放得进; go away走开;go off 离开,动身。

12.B考查形容词的词义。句意为:我为我的送错信而抱歉,但我高兴的是我把这两个人聚在了一起。amazed adj 令人吃惊的; pleased adj 令人高兴的; surprised adj 令人吃惊的 interested adj 使人感兴趣的。

13.D考查短语的含义。句意为:几个月之后, 一个“出售”的牌子在Christy的院子里挂了起来。

On sale 廉价出售,这里文中没有反映出是廉价出售;for sale 出售,待售。

14.C考查名词词义。句意为:发出了婚礼的请柬。arrangements 安排,布置;preparation 准备;invitations 邀请,请柬;announcements通知,通告。这里sent out发出去的应该是请柬。

15.B考查连词词义。句意为:婚礼举行了,顺其自然的是Christy和她的孩子们搬到了Johnson的家里,这是指顺承关系。

16.D考查代词的词义。句意为:几个月之后,我在他们的院子里又看到了一个待售的牌子。因为他们搬到了一起。所以应为他们。

17.C考查名词词义。句意为:我害怕,他们的婚姻出现了危机。friendship n 友谊;connection n联系,关系;marriage n 婚姻;wedding 婚礼。他们已经结过婚了,由此应知为婚姻。答案为C。

18.C考查名词词义。句意为:我就找了借口去看一下他们出了什么问题。apology      n 道歉;

trouble n 麻烦;excuse n 借口,托辞;        regret n 遗憾,后悔。

19.A考查动词词义。check      vt 查,核查;examine vt 检测,调查;test vt        测试; try vt 尝试,努力;这里是指,我找个借口要去看看到底是不是婚姻出现了问题。所以check比较合适。

20.D考查动词词义。句意:我们有了一对双胞胎,房子太小了,不得不搬家。change vt 改变,改换;settle vt定居;separate vt 分开;move vt 转移,搬家。

考点: 考查故事类文章的理解及词汇的辨析。
