    Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and   17  . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too   18   for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were   19   over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑),“Pretty hard.”

    After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes   20   large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized (着迷). He couldn’t stop   21  .

Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and   30   to become part of the leadership of the   31   .

   Learning her story, Barrett was as   32   as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a   33   of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work .

   When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay   34   as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This   35   achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He’ll be a man.

解析:

16.解析:educate意为“教育”,比teach正式,内容不那么具体,但强调教育的总目标和培养的结果,体现在世界观、性格、品质、学识等方面,耗时较长,范围较广。作者把儿子带到海地的目的是使他受到教育。comfort意为“安慰;使(痛苦等)缓和,使安乐”。please意为“使高兴,使欢喜,使快乐,使满足;中……的意”。attract意为“引诱,诱惑”,可泛指任何形式的吸引,表示迷人时,强调引起感情冲动或刺激起兴趣。

17.解析:rough意为“辛苦的,难受的,难忍的”,根据上文中的tiring可判断出旅行非常的艰难。Tiring的意思是令人疲劳的。dangerous意为“危险的”。troublesome意为“麻烦的”。violent意为“暴力的”。

18.解析:much意为“许多的;大量的”,由于旅途的艰难,对于一个17岁的孩子来说是很难忍受的。little意为“少量的”。fast意为“快的,迅速的”。slow意为“慢的”。

19.解析:climb意为“爬”,其宾语是high rocky mountains,说明他们在爬很高的满是岩石的大山。move意为“移动”。run意为“跑”。look意为“看”。都不是他们在旅途中做的事。

20.解析:too意为“太”,说明女孩的衣服太大了。very意为“非常”。too用于表示“太,过于”,指衣服的大小对女孩来说太大了,穿起来不合脚。very只用于修饰形容词,不表示“太……”的意思。even意为“甚至”,后接形容词比较级,表示“更……”。so意为“如此”。

21.解析:smile意为“微笑”,根据所提供的情景A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sized to large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized. 男孩看到女孩的这个样子禁不住笑起来。可判处出男joke意为“开玩笑”。cry意为“哭”,不符合当时的实际情况。shout意为“喊叫”。

22.解析:regretfully意为“悔恨的,后悔的,惋惜的,有遗憾的,抱歉的”,表示对自己做的事感到悔恨,后悔,惋惜,有遗憾或抱歉。从下文中男孩说的话:I wish I could speak French.可看出男孩对自己不会说法语感到遗憾。patiently意为“耐心地”。lightly意为“轻松地,轻快地;愉快地”。cheerfully意为“高高兴兴地,兴致勃勃地”。

23.解析:surprised意为“吃惊的”,由于男孩突然遗憾地说自己多么希望会说法语,而下文中说男孩不喜欢学法语,这使作者感到吃惊。ashamed意为“羞耻,惭愧,害臊”。disappointed“失望的”。determined意为“有决心的”。

24.解析:fight against意为“与……斗争”,在这句话中表示男孩不喜欢学法语而进行的一些抗争。take up意为“从事”,go in for意为“赞成参与”,都与上文中hate French矛盾。call off意为“取消”。

25.解析:befriend意为“友好对待,亲近”,从下文中and kept asking questions about the country and its people可看出男孩与Gaby很友好。disregard意为“蔑视,轻视”。avoid意为“避开”。recognize意为“认出”。

26.解析:however意为“然而”,表示上文的内容与下文的内容是转折对比关系。thus意为“因此”。even意为“甚至”。meanwhile意为“同时”。

27.解析:take one’s breath away表示“使人吃惊或高兴得说不出话来”。根据这段内容可判断出作者对山谷中一个村庄的一位妇女感到吃惊。因为虽然她个子很矮,但勇敢地进行斗争。因为是作者感到吃惊,所以要用took my breath away。

28.解析:interview意为“采访”,下文中的for an article说明作者为了写一篇文章,正在采访一位女村民。ask意为“问”。arrange意为“安排”。describe意为“描写”。

29.解析:will意为“意志;意志力”,根据所提供的情景Through determination, she had learned to read and write.和become part of the leadership可判断出这位妇女的意志非常坚强。brain意为“智力,智能,智慧,脑力;头脑”。wish意为“愿望”。health意为“健康”。

30.解析:struggle意为“斗争”,struggle指在困境中、全力抗争,以达到某种目的。appear意为“出现”。hesitate意为“犹豫,踌躇;不愿”。fail意为“失败”。

31.解析:village意为“村庄”,根据上下文的内容可判断出这位妇女成为这个村庄的领导人之一。city意为“城市”,organizing意为“组织”,state意为“国家”,都与短文的内容不相符合。

32.解析:touched意为“激动的,感动的”,由于这位农村妇女的事迹非常感人,Barrett非常感动。pleased意为“高兴的,满意的”。bored意为“无聊的”。puzzled意为“感到迷惑不解的”。

33.解析:combination意为“结合,合并,混合”,指爱与尊敬紧密地结合在一起,即表示既爱又尊敬的感情。由于这位农村妇女的事迹非常感人,在Barrett脸上出现了爱与尊敬的表情。composition意为“编制;结构,构造,组成,组织;成分;合成物”,指把两种或多种东西组合在一起。connection意为“联接”。satisfaction意为“满意”。

34.解析:stay behind意为“留下来不走了”,因为受到了这位农村妇女的事迹的教育,Barrett主动提出留下来当志愿者。

35.解析:trip意为“旅行”,这篇短文讲述了作者带自己的儿子去到一个山谷的小村庄去采访,作者在短文中描述了旅途的艰难和采访的过程,通过这次旅行,他的儿子受到了很大的教育,所以他说这次旅行是很成功的。flight意为“飞行,航班”。
