本文是一篇记叙文,主题是关于坚韧与善意的传承。文章主要讲述了“我”在暑假看望祖父母,失明的祖父从未因残疾放慢生活节奏——他经营小店、操持家务,始终友善待人;他的坚韧与善意影响了“我”,让“我”学会反感“放弃”的言论,积极面对困难。

第 38 题:考查副词辨析及语境。结合祖父“经营小店、做家务”的表现,A 选项 never 是“从未”的意思,B 选项 sometimes(有时)、C 选项 often(经常)、D 选项 always(总是)均与“未受失明影响”的情节矛盾。故选 A。
第 39 题:考查名词辨析及语境。结合后文“At the shop”的呼应,D 选项 shop 是“小店”的意思,A 选项 room(房间)、B 选项 bank(银行)、C 选项 library(图书馆)均不符合“经营”的语境。故选 D。
第 49 题:考查形容词辨析及语境。结合祖父“失明却坚韧友善”的特质,C 选项 special 是“特别的”的意思,A 选项 strict(严厉的)、B 选项 honest(诚实的)、D 选项 popular(受欢迎的)均未体现“独特的坚韧”这一核心特质。故选 C。
第 50 题:考查动词辨析及语境。结合祖父“从不退缩”的影响,此处是“我讨厌听到别人说‘我做不到’”。D 选项 hate 是“讨厌”的意思,A 选项 stop(停止)、B 选项 enjoy(享受)、C 选项 continue(继续)均与“反感放弃言论”的语境不符。故选 D。
