【导语】本文主要讲述了双胞胎兄弟Barry和Devin性格迥异,内向的Devin梦想在海滩上建造一座沙堡城市,起初遭遇质疑且无人问津,但他坚持尝试,最终吸引了许多孩子共同参与并建成了壮观的沙堡城市的故事。
【21题详解】
句意:Barry和他的双胞胎弟弟Devin虽然长相相同,但有很多不同之处。
根据转折连词“but”以及后文对两兄弟性格和爱好的对比可知,两人虽然长相一致但存在很多差异,“a lot of differences”表示“很多不同之处”,应选用differences。points“点;分数”,information“信息”,competitions“比赛”,均不符合语境中的对比关系。
【22题详解】
句意:Barry性格外向,而Devin则很害羞。
根据连词“while”表示前后对比以及“while Devin was shy”可知,此处指Barry性格开朗外向,应选用outgoing表示“外向的”。quiet“安静的”,hard-working“努力的”,smart“聪明的”,均无法与shy构成鲜明对比。
【23题详解】
句意:在每张海报的顶部,他写道:“来建一座沙堡城市,让我们的梦想成真吧!”
根据直接引语的内容以及常识可知,海报上的文字标语是写上去的,应选用wrote表示“写”。drew“画”,ate“吃”,asked“询问”,均不符合在海报上留有文字标语的语境。
【24题详解】
句意:来建一座沙堡城市,让我们的梦想成真吧!
根据空前的“make our dream”可知,此处是固定搭配“come true”,意为“实现;成真”,符合语境。come in“进来”,come on“快点;加油”,come up“发生;走近”,均不能与dream搭配表示梦想实现。
【25题详解】
句意:“也许是吧,”Devin回答道,“但我还是想尝试一下。”
根据前文Barry质疑梦想太大“This dream is too big”以及后文Devin所说的转折句“But I still want to have a try.”可知,Devin承认任务可能确实太难,但仍想试一试,应选用Maybe表示“也许;可能”。Hardly“几乎不”,Ever“曾经”,Always“总是”,均不符合语境逻辑。
【26题详解】
句意:然后他把海报张贴在镇上的各个地方。
根据前文Devin想要号召大家一起建造沙堡城市可知,他将海报张贴在镇上的各个角落以作宣传,应选用everywhere表示“到处;处处”。sometime“某个时间”,anytime“任何时候”,nowhere“无处”,均不符合宣传动员的语境。
【27题详解】
句意:第二天早晨,当Barry去打沙滩排球时,没有孩子来,Devin只能独自开始建造。
根据后文“Devin just started to work by himself. He was so sad.”可知,Devin独自一人干活且感到伤心,说明起初没有孩子过来帮忙,应选用no修饰名词kids表示“没有”。some“一些”,many“许多”,other“其他的”,均与后文独自建造以及悲伤的情绪矛盾。
【28题详解】
句意:看到这番景象他感到很吃惊:这么多孩子正和他弟弟一起建造梦想之城!
根据早晨无人前来到中午聚集了许多孩子“so many kids were building the dream city”的前后反差可知,Barry对此景象感到十分惊讶,应选用surprised表示“惊讶的”。bored“无聊的”,worried“担心的”,interested“感兴趣的”,均无法体现反差带来的吃惊反应。
【29题详解】
句意:每个人看起来都很忙碌但很兴奋,他们所有人都沉浸在辛勤劳作中!
根据前文“Everyone looked busy but excited”所体现的积极欢乐氛围可知,孩子们非常享受共同劳作的过程,应选用enjoying表示“享受”。waiting“等待”,winning“获胜”,sharing“分享”,均不能准确体现享受劳动过程的语境。
【30题详解】
句意:Barry向Devin竖起大拇指,“太棒了!”
根据上文“a beautiful city appeared on the beach”以及Barry竖起大拇指“gave Devin a thumbs-up”的称赞举动可知,此处是对成果的高度赞美,应选用Fantastic表示“极好的;极棒的”。Necessary“必要的”,Different“不同的”,Difficult“困难的”,均不符合赞扬夸奖的语境。
