1.1.
A cares about
B looks for
C waits for
D talks about
解析:选A。A 考查动词短语辨析。前句说有人嘲笑他的外貌,but 转折表示他对此的态度。care about 意为“在意,关心”,never cares about such unkind words 表示“从不在意这些不友善的话”,符合他不受外界恶意影响的人设。look for(寻找)、wait for(等待)、talk about(谈论)代入后均无法传达出“不理会、不介意”的情感。故选A。
2.2.
A for
B from
C in
D on
解析:选B。B 考查介词搭配。表示“从出生起(健康状况就差)”用 from birth 是固定搭配,强调某种状态从出生开始就存在。其他介词:for 接时间段;in 通常不直接接 birth 表示起点;on birth 搭配错误。故B正确。
3.3.
A strong
B heavy
C weak
D tall
解析:选C。C 考查形容词。前半句说母亲怀孕时身体不好,所以导致他出生时身体“虚弱”。weak 贴合健康差的语境。strong(强壮的)、heavy(重的)、tall(高的)均与母亲身体差造成的不良结果相悖,因此C正确。
4.4.
A earlier
B faster
C longer
D slower
解析:选D。D 考查副词比较级。前面已经交代他先天体弱,因此发育速度应“比别的孩子更慢”。slower 符合生理常识和后文“身体停止发育”的提示。earlier(更早)、faster(更快)、longer(更久)均不能合理承接体弱的逻辑,因此D正确。
5.5.
A since
B because
C when
D until
解析:选C。C 考查连词。 句意为“他九岁时身体停止发育”,用 when 引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”。since 要求主句常用现在完成时,because 表原因(逻辑倒置),until 表“直到……才”,若用 until 则语义变成“直到九岁才停止发育”,与先天发育慢的事实矛盾,故C正确。
6.6.
A thank
B mistake
C remember
D teach
解析:选B。B 考查动词。 mistake... for... 意为“把……错当成……”。他成年后仍看着像孩子,人们常“把他误认为学生”。thank for(为……感谢)、remember for(因……记住)、teach for(为……教)均不适用于误认的语境,因此B正确。
7.7.
A support
B money
C food
D time
解析:选A。A 考查名词辨析。他决定当演员,需要的是家人精神及行动上的“支持”。support 最贴合语境。money(金钱)、food(食物)、time(时间)虽然也可能相关,但都无法像 support 那样全面概括家人给予的帮助和鼓励,故A正确。
8.8.
A different
B boring
C important
D easy
解析:选A。A 考查形容词。different 不同的;boring 无聊的;important 重要的;easy 简单的。他参演多部知名作品,饰演各式各样的少年角色,选 A。
9.9.
A basic
B great
C natural
D special
解析:选B。B 考查形容词。directors speak highly of 表明导演持赞扬态度,所填词应具有积极意义。great 意为“极好的”,修饰演技符合夸奖语境。basic(基本的)偏负面或中性,natural(自然的)和 special(特殊的)虽可修饰演技,但导演高度评价时更常直接称赞“精湛的演技”,great 最为恰当,因此B正确。
10.10.
A help
B like
C limit
D show
解析:选C。C 考查动词。他明白年轻的外貌和柔和的嗓音会“限制”他的角色选择,后文 Yet 转折说尽管如此他仍尽力演好每个角色,可见前半句是消极影响。limit 意为“限制”,准确表达这种约束。help(帮助)、like(喜欢)、show(展示)均不是消极词,无法引出转折,因此C正确。
