1.1.
A never
B usually
C always
D seldom
解析:选D。D 。根据前文 “He was often absent from home”(父亲经常不在家)可推断,儿子见到父亲的频率很低。选项 A “never”(从不)表述绝对,不符合 “偶尔能见到” 的隐含逻辑;选项 B “usually”(通常)、C “always”(总是)与 “父亲常不在家” 矛盾;选项 D “seldom”(很少)符合 “父亲缺席,儿子少见父亲” 的语境,故答案为 D。
2.2.
A work
B school
C exercise
D holiday
解析:选A。A 。前文提到 “the son is taking his father’s place to be the postman”(儿子接替父亲当邮递员),后文 “the father goes with him”(父亲陪他一起)应是在儿子 “工作” 的场景下。选项 B “school”(学校)、C “exercise”(锻炼)、D “holiday”(假期)均与 “当邮递员” 的职业背景无关;选项 A “work”(工作)契合 “儿子首日上岗” 的语境,故答案为 A。
3.3.
A up
B past
C across
D through
解析:选C。C 。空格后 “a cold river”(一条冰冷的河),需选表示 “穿越河流” 的介词。选项 A “up”(向上)、B “past”(经过,侧重从旁边路过)不符合 “过河到对岸” 的动作;选项 D “through”(穿过,侧重从内部穿过,如穿过森林)与 “河流” 搭配不当;选项 C “across”(穿过,侧重从表面横穿,如过河、过马路)符合 “蹚过河流到对岸” 的语义,故答案为 C。
4.4.
A puts down
B brings back
C focuses on
D takes away
解析:选B。B 。后文 “the father’s memory of carrying the son on his back”(父亲当年背着儿子的回忆)是儿子背父亲这一行为触发的,需选择表示 “唤起、勾起回忆” 的短语。选项 A “puts down”(放下;写下)、C “focuses on”(专注于)、D “takes away”(拿走;消除)均与 “回忆” 无逻辑关联;选项 B “brings back”(使回忆起)精准匹配 “儿子的动作唤起父亲过往记忆” 的语境,故答案为 B。
5.5.
A hides
B stops
C shares
D searches
解析:选A。A 。根据后文 “doesn’t express”(不表达)“His love may be silent”(他的爱或许是沉默的),可判断父亲的行为是 “隐藏” 自己的关心。选项 B “stops”(停止)、C “shares”(分享)与 “不表达” 的设定矛盾;选项 D “searches”(寻找)与 “关心” 搭配不当,无法体现父亲的内敛性格;选项 A “hides”(隐藏)契合 “传统中国父亲沉默藏爱” 的人物设定,故答案为 A。
