【 答案与解析】

【要点综述】作者围绕其母亲去世时留给她的一条珍珠项链这一主线展开故事。叙述了她在项链失而复得之后，为了缓减对母亲的思念，在一次不经意的度假中找到了她的新生活----成家立业；作者在生活中以各种形式来怀念她的母亲，感受到家的温暖；而“项链”既是表达了对母亲的怀念之情同时也暗示了母亲对她生活的影响。

1. A 根据下句“…a pearl necklace Mum had left me... ”可知母亲是在当年10月去世。

2.B根据句子“I was distraught (忧心如焚的)”说明项链弄丢了。

3.D “我是被告在一起工作的一个伙计拾到了项链。”A为“展示”；B意味“安慰”；C为“说服”均不符合题意。

4. C. 句意为：“他可能把项链变卖成钱了。”根据句意选C。

5. A 根据上一句和下一句“他把项链交还了我”可知选A。A意为“幸运地”；B意为“自然地”； C意为“当然”；D意为“希望”。

6. A 句意为：“听到在母亲去世之前我是如何地护理她那六个月，他…”。A. nurse意为“护理”； B. cured为“治愈”； C. missed为“想念”， D. guarded为“看守”。

7. B. 根据句意“圣诞节将会很辛苦”故选B. hard。

8. D 根据前后文可知我就立刻爱上了Morzaine这个地方。A为“突然，猛然地”；B为“最终”；C为“将近，几乎”；D为“立即，马上”。

9. C 句意为：“原本只认为是一次权宜之计的旅行最终却成就了我新的生活”。was supposed to be意为“原以为是，本该是”，故C符合题意。

10. D上文提到我开始了一种新的生活，故应该感到比以前心情更轻松了。故选D。

11. B 根据“as a hotel manager” “moved here full time”可知她受雇当旅馆经理。

12. D 根据下文“but by summer, we got married”可知我不想讨论结婚的事情。

13. C 我不想讨论结婚的事，是因为我深陷丧母悲痛仍无法自拔。故C项最合适。

14. B 根据句意：“Paul他理解此事，从未催促过我，但到夏天时我们还是结婚了。”故选B（敦促，催促），切合题意。

15.A根据下一段话中“guests” ”eachroom” 等词汇可知是建他们自己的旅馆。

16.A每个房间都以来自生活的记忆为主题，并将母亲用过的小椅子置于房间，显然我们是要给我们的客人以一种家的感觉。故选A. homely(如在家一般的，像家的)。

17.B 根据句意“过去放在她卧室的一把小椅子”选B“过去常常”。A为“应该”；C为“可能”，D为“能够，可能”，均不符合句意。

18.D根据后文“I know she’s here in spirit, keeping an eye on us.”可知母亲很自然会感觉到我们正在过的这种美好的生活。

19.C根据句意：“我们正在过着一种美好的生活，母亲自然是感知到它，因为，要不是她给我的那条项链的话，我是绝不会来这个地方的。“选C。

20.D参看上一题解释。本题为文章结尾点题，故选择D. necklace.

1. 【解析】A 根据前面的句子可知，男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果，因此如果要他选择的话，他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。

2. 【解析】C 根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断，上下文之间是转折关系，所以选择but。

3. 【解析】 C 根据下文第50个空所在的句子中出现的hungry一词可判断，此处选择hungrier，表示“他越看那只苹果就越觉得肚子饿”。

4. 【解析】B 为了够到那只苹果，小男孩踮起脚尖，尽可能把身体伸展到最高的程度。expand扩大，扩充，扩展；stretch伸展，舒展；swing摆动，摇动；pull拉，扯，拔。

5. 【解析】D 根据语境可知，小男孩是站着伸手去够苹果，因此此处指的是身体的高度，不是力量、长度或范围。

6. 【解析】A 根据生活常识可判断，既然小男孩站着够不到苹果，他只能开始上下跳跃。

7. 【解析】C 每次跳到最高的时候，小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。

8. 【解析】D 根据下文可知，小男孩最终没有摘到苹果。out of reach是固定短语，意为“手够不着, 达不到”。

9. 【解析】 B 根据下文内容可知，小男孩没有放弃，他想如果自己踩在某些东西上面就能够到苹果了。

10. 【解析】A 小男孩身上背着书包，可他不想弄坏里面装的东西。break在此处表示“弄坏，折断”。

11. 【解析】D 根据上下文内容可知，为了找到能踩在脚下的东西，小男孩四处环顾。look around四处环顾。

12. 【解析】B 小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子，一块大石头，或者，如果顺利的话，能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利，为了祈求好运；with luck如果一切顺利的话；其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。

13. 【解析】C 小男孩尝试了所有的方法，在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下，小男孩只好放弃了。

14. 【解析】B 没有办法摘到苹果，小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。

15. 【解析】C 根据上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力，因此耗尽了力气，觉得又累又饿。

16. 【解析】A 此处表示他越是这样想，就越觉得不开心。

17. 【解析】B 根据上下文内容可知，此处存在的是转折关系，所以选择however“然而，可是”。

18. 【解析】D 根据下文内容可知，小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题，觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助，不能从根本上解决问题。

19. 【解析】D 结合上文内容可知，小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了，苹果也不会得到了。

20. 【解析】A 小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华：面对无法解决的问题，我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。
