答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者个人的经历和感受,讲述了自己作为UPS司机在每日工作中抽出时间拜访父亲的故事。
1.C 考查副词词义辨析。句意:相反,这是我对我父亲的私人拜访,这已经成了我珍视的日常习惯。therefore “因此”; however “然而”; instead “反而”; besides “此外”。根据上文“As a United Parcel Service (UPS) driver, the most important delivery I make each day isn’t part of my official route.”和下文“it was my personal visit to my father, which has become a(n) 2 I value”之间存在转折关系,下文是对上文的解释。故选C。
2.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。occasion “时刻;场合”; routine “例行公事;常规”; destination “目的地”; design “设计”。根据下文“These daily 5 are more than just a break from work—they are moments filled with conversation and connection.”可知,作者对父亲的拜访已经成为日常惯例。故选B。
3.D 考查副词词义辨析。句意:我的递送路线恰好会经过我儿时的家。regularly “有规律地”; thoroughly “完全地”; accidentally “偶然地”; conveniently “方便地”。根据下文“Therefore, every day, during my lunch break, I will make it a(n) 4 to stop at my father’s.”可推断,作者送货的路线正好让自己方便回到儿时的家。故选D。
4.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:因此,每天午餐时间,我会特地去我父亲那里停一下。point “看法;意义;目标”; wish “希望”; issue “问题;议题”; style “风格”。根据上文可知,作者送货的路线方便作者回到父亲的家,因此作者每天都会特意去父亲家,make it a point to do sth表示“特意或决心去做某事”。故选A。
5.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意:这些日常拜访不仅仅是为了在工作之余稍作休息——它们是我们充满交谈和联系的时刻。task “任务”; visit “拜访”; movement “活动;运动”; topic “话题”。根据上文“it was my personal visit to my father, which has become a(n) 2 I value”可知,作者每天都去父亲家,所以空处指的是日常拜访。选B。
6.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意:我父亲和我喜欢分享故事,经常深入探讨我父亲作为老兵的经历。finish “完成”; try “尝试”; enjoy “喜欢;享受”; miss “错过”。根据下文“These conversations not only 7 my father’s past but also strengthen our bond in the present.”可推断,作者和父亲喜欢分享故事,从而加强了彼此之间的联系。故选C。
7.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意:这些对话不仅是对我父亲的过去的致敬,也加强了我们现在的联系。explain “解释”; throw “扔”; record “记录”; honor “尊敬;使荣幸”。根据下文“but also strengthen our bond in the present”可推断,作者和父亲之间的对话是对父亲的一种致敬。故选D。
8.A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:这是我们俩都期待着的特殊时光,也是我们共同创造新回忆的时刻。live for “为……而生活;期望”; focus on “专注于”; get across “通过;被理解”; calm down “冷静下来”。根据下文“a time that creates our new 9 together”以及“I know from the bottom of my heart that it’s important to be there for our 15 ones, especially when they need help most.”可推断,作者和父亲都非常喜欢这段时光,也就是都期待着来访。故选A。
9.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。power “力量;权力”; memory “记忆”; credit “信用;荣誉;学分”; detail “细节”。根据上文可知,作者和父亲会分享彼此的故事,再结合常理可知,这样会创造新的回忆。故选B。
10.C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我开始这个习惯是在我母亲去世后,那时我父亲心碎不已,除了我之外,他与整个世界都断了联系。bad-tempered “脾气不好的”; strong-minded “意志坚强的”; heartbroken “心碎的”; outspoken “直言不讳的”。根据上文“I began this routine after my mother passed away”可推测,作者的母亲去世后,作者的父亲非常悲伤。故选C。
11.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意:对我来说,这成了一种确保我父亲不会感到孤独的方式,并在困难时期为他提供至关重要的支持和陪伴。ensure “确保”; extend “表示”; imagine “想象”; suggest “建议”。根据下文“to provide the support and companionship”可推测,作者这样做是为了确保父亲不会孤独。故选A。
12.D 考查形容词词义辨析。句意同上。puzzling “令人困惑的”; positive “积极的”; modern “现代的”; challenging “具有挑战的;困难的”。根据上文“I began this routine after my mother passed away when my father was so 10 that he stayed unconnected with the whole world except me.”可推断,这段时期是非常困难的。故选D。
13.B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:除了情感上的支持,我还为父亲提供实际的帮助。gainful “有利益的”; practical “实用的”; legal “合法的”; secret “秘密的”。根据下文“I ensure that meals are ready and take care of various needs around the house.”可推断,作者还为父亲做一些实际的事情。故选B。
14.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意:展示家庭联系重要性的传统得以延续。connection “联系”; member “成员”; dream “梦想”; struggle “挣扎”。根据上文“These conversations not only 7 my father’s past but also strengthen our bond in the present.”可知,这些拜访使得家庭之间有了联系,作者继续这样做,从而使得拜访延续下去。故选A。
15.C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我从心底里知道,对我们所爱的人来说,在他们最需要帮助的时候陪在他们身边是很重要的。sacred “神圣的”; related “相关的”; loved “喜爱的”; lost “丢失的,错过的”。根据下文“especially when they need help most”以及全文可知,作者指的是当所爱的人需要帮助时,我们应该陪在他们身边。故选C。
