解题通法
利用语境推断解题
①分析句子:
But my mum wasn't interested in cars at all, and she was 3 me going on about them all the time.
②锁定答案:
设空前提到妈妈对汽车毫无兴趣,因此,对于作者总是没完没了地谈论汽车,作者的妈妈应是厌倦的。be tired of 对……感到厌倦;be proud of 以……为傲;be patient with 对……有耐心;be pleased with 对……感到满意。故选 A。
4. D 此处是说,作者早起去赶车。park 停放(汽车等);repair 修理;drive 驾驶;catch 赶上。故选 D。
5. C 根据设空后的“I thought we had run out of petrol (汽油)”可知,大巴车在行驶的过程中突然停了下来。arrive 到达;leave 离开;stop 停下;appear 出现。故选 C。
6. B 根据设空后的“he would have to call the garage (汽车修理厂)”可知,司机需要给汽车修理厂打电话,应是发动机出故障了。common 普遍的;wrong 有问题的;new 新的;similar 相似的。故选 B。
7. A 根据设空后的“soon worked out what to do”可知,作者想出了解决办法,故此处应是作者主动提出要亲自去看看(大巴车到底出了什么故障)。offer to do sth 主动提出做某事;fail to do sth 未能成功完成某事;forget to do sth 忘记去做某事;refuse to do sth 拒绝做某事。故选 A。
8. C 根据设空前的“I just needed to put back a cable (电线). After ten minutes, the bus was on the road again”可知,作者解决了车的故障,车又重新行驶在道路上,车上的人应是赞扬了作者。collect 收集,接走;guard 保卫;praise 称赞;control 控制。故选 C。
9. B 作者在文章开头提到他认为自己不擅长任何事情,但修理好故障车后,作者意识到自己也有能做的事。mix 混合;do 做;add 添加;dry 使变干。故选 B。
10. A 根据设空后的“my own car repair business”可知,此处指作者毕业后创办了自己的汽车修理公司。set up 建立,创办;hear of 听说;call at 停靠;give away 赠送。故选 A。
