Unit 2 Making a difference
高考真题练
完形填空
(2025新课标Ⅰ)
One August afternoon, I sat in my kitchen staring at a glass vase that hadn't seen daylight since my wedding.
My husband and I had just sold our house and we were busy 1 the beloved home our family had spent 23 years filling up. We had decided on key items for the 2 we were moving to in town, donated what we could, and rented a place to 3 our supposedly important objects. That left a house still 4 with things that, while not particularly 5 , didn't belong in a landfill(垃圾填埋场).
I took a picture of the vase and posted it online, for $10. A couple of messages came in, one wanting additional 6 , another asking for a price cut. As our 7 day drew near, I settled on a new price($0) and reposted it. The 8 : “I hate this vase. Maybe you won't.” In an instant, a woman raced into my house and left happily with the vase.
9 , I posted more. My daily posts and the 10 I received became a precious ray of light in the chaos of my house. Each exchange provided a chance to 11 the landfill and to please another person I might not otherwise have 12 .
I sit in my apartment today, loving each of the 13 that share our small space. I take 14 in knowing that, somewhere nearby, someone is 15 something that couldn't come with us.

答案与分层梯度式解析
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在搬家前将物品通过网络分享给需要的人的故事。
1.C 根据空前的“My husband and I had just sold our house”以及空后的“our family had spent 23 years filling up”可知,我们的房子刚刚卖出,所以此处指我们忙着清空(emptying out)我们一家人花费二十三年填充的家。故选C。paint over用漆盖住;look around 环顾四周;pull down拆毁。
2.D 根据空前的“We had decided on key items”、空后的“we were moving to in town”和最后一段中的“I sit in my apartment today”可知,此处指我们已经确定了即将随我们一起搬入公寓(apartment)的一些重要东西。故选D。cottage村舍。
3.A 根据空后的“our supposedly important objects”可知,我们租了一个地方去存放(store)那些我们认为重要的物品。故选A。display展示。
4.C 根据空后的“things that, while not particularly..., didn't belong in a landfill”可知,房间仍装满了(stuffed)不属于垃圾填埋场的东西。故选C。cover覆盖;decorate装饰;equip装备,配备。
5.B 上文提到必要的东西搬进新公寓,认为重要的东西存放在租的房子里,所以此处指的是不是特别有价值(valuable),但不属于垃圾填埋场的东西。故选B。conventional 传统的,习惯的;complicated 复杂的,难处理的;tolerable尚好的,可接受的,可忍受的。
6.B 根据上文“I took a picture of the vase and posted it online”可知,此处指的是有人想要更多的照片(photos)。故选B。fee 费用;receipt 发票,收据;model 模型。
7.A 根据第二段中的“we were moving to in town”可知,我们的搬迁(move)日临近。故选A。
8.C 根据上文“I settled on a new price ($0) and reposted it”可知,我确定了一个新的价格(0美元),并重新发布了它。又根据空后的“I hate this vase. Maybe you won't.”可知,此处指的是描述(description)。故选C。
9.D 根据空后的“I posted more”可知,我发了更多帖子。结合上一段最后一句可知,作者这样做是因为受到鼓励(Encouraged)。故选D。
10.A 根据上一段中的“In an instant, a woman raced into my house and left happily with the vase.”可知,一位女士冲进我家,然后兴高采烈地拿着花瓶离开了。由此可推知,此处指我每天发的帖子以及别人的来访(visits)为我那混乱的家带来了一缕珍贵的光明。故选A。
11.B 根据空前的“Each exchange provided a chance”以及空后的the landfill可知,每一次交换都避免了把东西送到垃圾填埋场。spare意为“用不着;免去”,符合语境。故选B。remove移开。
12.C 上文提及我把物品发在网上,有需要的人来取。由此可知,此处指每一次交流都让我有机会去取悦一个原本可能不会遇到(encountered)的人。故选C。investigate调查;recognize认出;recommend推荐。
13.D 根据空前的“I sit in my apartment today”和空后的share our small space可知,我今天坐在公寓里,喜欢分享我们小空间的每一件所有物(belongings)。故选D。giveaway 赠品;post邮件,帖子;contribution贡献。
14.A 根据上文中的“please another person”和“loving”可知,此处指我高兴(joy)地知道。故选A。
15.B 此处表示有人正在欣赏(appreciating)那些无法与我们同行的物品。故选B。anticipate 预期,预料;deliver 投递,运送;withdraw(使)撤回,撤离。
