根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 31 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 32 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 33
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 34 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
35 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn’t alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.
答案解析:
31. G解析:根据前文提到的孤独感以及后文提到的哥哥的朋友嘲笑他照顾妹妹,可以推断出作者没有其他孩子一起玩是因为哥哥不愿意和她玩。因此,选项G "My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me."与原文内容相符。
32.D根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知,D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项符合。
33.A根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知,A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项符合。
34. F解析:前文提到“When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were”,其意思是“当我妈妈看到我的创作时,她告诉我我的设计多么有创意”,由此可推测出,此空处应该描述的是作者的创作得到了妈妈的认可后所发生的事情。此空后的“I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful”意思是“我学到了很多关于如何延长物品的使用寿命,并将它们变成新的和有用的东西”,这句话中的“making objects new and useful”与选项F中的“making things”相呼应,所以此空应填:F.
35. E解析:根据后文提到的父母确保他们的两个孩子无论天气或季节都要花时间在外面,可以推断出作者早期形成的另一个习惯是在户外。因此,选项E "Another habit I formed early was being outdoors."与原文内容相符。
