Life in junior high school is so wonderful that I will keep it in my memory forever. 解析 1. 固定短语：“浑身”对应“all over”，“be hot all over”（浑身发热）是常用表达。 2. 被动语态：“被认为是”对应“be regarded as”（被动结构：be+过去分词+介词），主语“the ladybug”是单数，时态为一般现在时，故用“is regarded as”。 3. 动词短语：“不由得想起”对应“think of”，主语“he”是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故用“thinks of”。 4. 固定短语：“一点一点地”对应“step by step”（副词短语，修饰动词“make progress”）。 5. 句式结构：“如此……以至于……”用“so...that...”句型；“初中生活”是“life in junior high school”；“永远记住”用“keep it in my memory forever”，符合题干要求的短语。 语法检查：时态为一般现在时（描述客观情况）和一般将来时（表“将永远记住”），主谓一致（“life”作主语，be动词用“is”）。 四、完形填空 答案16. A 17. B 18. B 19. D 20. C 21. A 22. B 23. A 24. D 25. D 解析 1. 语境推断：根据前文“didn’t know what to be when I grew up”（不知道长大后做什么），可知“对未来不确定”，“uncertain”（不确定的）符合语境，排除“happy”（开心的）、“serious”（严肃的）、“hopeful”（有希望的）。 2. 固定搭配：“follow sb.”（追随某人，此处指“从事和妈妈一样的职业”），符合“妈妈建议我当老师”的语境；“lead”（带领）、“treat”（对待）、“question”（质疑）均不匹配。 3. 动词辨析：“expected”（期望）符合“爸爸期望我成为钢琴家”的语境；“disliked”（不喜欢）、“regretted”（后悔）、“forgot”（忘记）与“he believed it would be a great career”（他认为这是好职业）矛盾。 4. 逻辑对比：根据后文“I couldn’t stand spending hours sitting in front of a piano”（受不了坐钢琴前几小时），可知“对钢琴没兴趣”，“pleasure”（乐趣）符合“没找到乐趣”的语境；“difficulty”（困难）、“pain”（痛苦）、“service”（服务）逻辑不符。 5. 情节转折：前文“对未来不确定”，后文“高中找到兼职并确定职业”，可知“情况改变了”，“changed”（改变）符合情节；“disappeared”（消失）、“finished”（结束）、“fell”（落下）无转折含义。 6. 固定短语：“give it a try”（试一试）符合“看到兼职通知后决定尝试”的语境；“give a break”（休息）、“give a lift”（搭便车）、“give a joke”（开玩笑）均不匹配。 7. 动词辨析：“provided chances”（提供机会）符合“兼职给了在广播里谈论有趣话题的机会”的语境；“hid”（隐藏）、“noise”（噪音，名词）、“peace”（和平，名词）词性或词义不符。 8. 逻辑衔接：根据后文“felt more and more confident”（越来越自信），可知“取得了进步”，“progress”（进步）符合语境；“trouble”（麻烦）与“自信”矛盾；“usually”（通常）、“luckily”（幸运地）是副词，不能作“made”的宾语。 9. 副词辨析：“luckily”（幸运地）符合“大学毕业后得到全职工作”的积极语境；“suddenly”（突然地）、“personally”（个人而言）、“usually”（通常）无“幸运”的语义。 10. 名词匹配：前文提到“full-time job at our local radio station”（当地电台全职工作），此处“feel proud of my job”（为我的工作自豪）符合语境；“course”（课程）、“family”（家庭）、“article”（文章）与“职业”无关。 五、阅读还原 答案 26. B 27. （原文无选项，推测为过渡句，结合上下文可补充“Looking for the answer made me stressed.”，但按题目要求仅需匹配给定选项，此处以原文选项为准） 28. C 29. A 30. D 解析 1. 上下文衔接：前文“I really didn’t like it”（不喜欢成人问“长大后做什么”），后文“People seem unhappy when I didn’t do many things”（我没做很多事时人们不高兴），可知“我没有好答案，且找答案很难”，“B选项”（我从来没有好答案，找答案让我很难）符合逻辑。 2. 逻辑转折：前文“asking this question makes kids define themselves by work”（这个问题让孩子用工作定义自己），“People don’t think ‘a father’ or ‘a person of kindness’ is a right answer”（人们不认为“父亲”或“善良的人”是正确答案），后文需接“相反的观点”，“C选项”（相反，他们常认为成功是最高价值）符合“否定‘非工作身份’，强调‘成功/工作’”的逻辑。 3. 论据支撑：前文“asking this question means that there’s a special job for everyone”（这个问题暗示每个人都有专属职业），后文“And many career dreams may not be practical”（很多职业梦想不切实际），可知需填“梦想与现实矛盾的例子”，“A选项”（父母说关心他人很重要，但这常让学生觉得难）符合“理想（关心他人）与现实（学生觉得难）矛盾”的语境。 4. 结构衔接：前文有“First”（第一）、“Second”（第二），此处需“Third”（第三），“D选项”（第三，职业通常不符合童年梦想）符合“分点论述‘问孩子职业问题不好’”的结构，且后文“Looking for the dream job can make college seniors worried”（找梦想工作让大学生焦虑）支撑“职业与童年梦想不符”的观点。 5. 多余选项分析：“E选项”（我毕业后经历了不同职业）与全文“论述‘问孩子职业问题的弊端’”无关；“F选项”（我认为找工作不难）与后文“找梦想工作让大学生焦虑”矛盾，故为多余选项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
