Question

Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a  36  life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.

Then something  37  happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney stones (腎結(jié)石), which had to be   38   surgically as soon as possible. But it was not as   39   as that! Our friend could not  40  the operation, which put him into deep  41 . I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either.  42 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other  43  and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.

Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day  44  I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been 45  because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?

All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be  46  to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed. I tried  47  my things but no one wanted them. Then I had the idea of talking to my  48 . I asked him if I could have my next two months’ salary in advance—without even thinking on how I would  49  for two months with no money. He was surprised and asked me the reason. I told him that I had a friend who was really in need.  50  I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any  51 !

Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a  52 !”

Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the  53  time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an)  54  friend and I think it is well worth the  55 .

【解析】

試題分析：文章通過通過敘述作者想方設(shè)法幫助一個(gè)得了腎結(jié)石的朋友付醫(yī)藥費(fèi)進(jìn)行手術(shù)的故事，得出結(jié)論：友誼不僅存在于快樂時(shí)刻也體現(xiàn)在最艱難的時(shí)光。

1.上下文串聯(lián)。從下文轉(zhuǎn)折詞but后面的內(nèi)容可知作者開頭過的是一種孤獨(dú)的生活.private私人的；lonely孤獨(dú)的   ；colorful多彩的；normal正常的。

2.上下文串聯(lián)。上文提到作者遇到了一群很好的朋友，空后提到一位朋友得了腎結(jié)石，因此是出乎意料的事。Strange奇怪的； wrong錯(cuò)誤的；unexpected意想不到的；unfair不公平的。

3.根據(jù)常識(shí)，kidney stones是要通過手術(shù)進(jìn)行摘除，故填remove。 Remove去掉，消除；reduce減少；examine檢查lift舉起，抬起。

4.上下文串聯(lián)。腎結(jié)石要通過手術(shù)摘除卻沒有錢，因此是不想象那么簡(jiǎn)單。Terrible可怕的；painful痛苦的；simple簡(jiǎn)單的；special特別的，專門的。

5.上下文串聯(lián)。 根據(jù)下文because I didn’t have any money either可以推斷出我的朋友負(fù)擔(dān)不起手術(shù)費(fèi)用，故用afford。Afford (to do) sth 負(fù)擔(dān)得起(做)某事(的費(fèi)用）。Stand忍受； consider考慮；perform表演。

6.近義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。從下文told him not to worry中worry一詞，近義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，可以確定答案anxiety焦急，焦慮。confusion 困惑，迷惑embarrassment尷尬dissatisfaction不滿意，均不符合題意。

7.上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)上文I didn’t have any money either及 下文I never lost hope，可確定是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故填however。 Thus因此，所以O(shè)therwise否則，要不然Therefore因此。

8.上文提到我沒有錢，但我沒有失去希望，故他決定嘗試其他選擇。Reasons原因；options選擇，選擇權(quán)；symptoms癥狀；expectations期望，期待。

9.上下文串聯(lián)。前面提到作者說他會(huì)付錢，但從后文內(nèi)容可知作者并沒有錢，所以此處表達(dá)虛擬“好像我有錢（付醫(yī)藥費(fèi)）。even if即使；as if好像 ；so that為了，以便； in case以防，萬一。

10.上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)空后because the surgeon agreed to do it說明我的話語是“令人信服的，有說服力的”。 Encouraging鼓舞人心的； annoying令人惱怒的；astonishing令人吃驚的；convincing令人信服的

11.上下文串聯(lián)。從下文I tried to borrow money but failed可以推斷：應(yīng)付這種處境是具有挑戰(zhàn)性的。disturbing引起煩惱的;令人不安的amazing令人吃驚的scaring令人驚恐的，均不合題意。

12.上下文串聯(lián)。上文提到我借錢借不到，下文提到but no one wanted them，說明是作者想賣東西但沒有人要。Save節(jié)約;   handle處理，應(yīng)付；donate捐贈(zèng)；sell賣（東西）。

13.上下文串聯(lián)。下文中提到要求預(yù)支下兩個(gè)月薪水，可推斷出是老板。Colleague同事；relative親戚 ；boss老板surgeon外科醫(yī)生。

14.上下文串聯(lián)。從下文中for two months with no money，沒有錢卻要度過兩個(gè)月，難以“生存”，故應(yīng)填survive。Adapt適應(yīng)，改編continue繼續(xù)；wander想知道

15.上下文串聯(lián)。從下文and then he gave my two months’ salary可知老板提前給我預(yù)支兩個(gè)月的薪水，說明是很幸運(yùn)的事，故應(yīng)該填luckily。Slightly輕微的，略微的Constantly不斷地，時(shí)常地；時(shí)刻；Occasionally偶爾，間或，均不符合題意。

16.上下文串聯(lián)及固定搭配。Without hesitation毫不猶豫。從上文中 I convinced him too可以推斷老板是毫不猶豫的給我預(yù)支錢，符合題意。analysis分析dignity高貴，尊貴；hesitation猶豫；remark評(píng)論

17.上下文串聯(lián)。從上文可知我為朋友墊付了醫(yī)藥費(fèi)，朋友激動(dòng)得不知如何感激我，因此，只能以一個(gè)擁抱以表達(dá)對(duì)我的感激之情。Favor 恩惠，偏袒；hug 擁抱；promise諾言，許諾；reply回復(fù)，回答。

18.上下文串聯(lián)。句子使用了連接詞not only...but...，與上文的happy moment相對(duì)應(yīng)，故應(yīng)填tough time苦難時(shí)光。句意為：在你的生活中，友誼不僅存在于快樂時(shí)刻也體現(xiàn)在最艱難的時(shí)光。 Best最好的；longest最長(zhǎng)的；strangest最奇怪的；toughest最艱難的，最艱苦的。

19. 上下文串聯(lián)。空前提到a good thing，說明我支持了朋友，故選擇supportive支持的，擁護(hù)的，贊助的sensitive敏感的aggressive侵略的，侵犯的，攻勢(shì)的attentive注意的；周到的，殷勤的；

20.上文提到作者做了一件好事，所以他認(rèn)為這種努力是值得的。故選effort努力.而tolerance忍受，容忍，sympathy同情，pressure壓力 均不合語境。
