A promising teenage footballer who lost both lower legs after a car crash has told how he is just thankful to be alive. He needed a double __1__ below the knee and is due to be fitted for prosthetics (义肢) soon. The football-obsessed goalkeeper, described as having great __2__, said: “Everyone has down days, but I’ll try to keep smiling.”
1.1.
A treatment
B operation
C recovery
D attempt
解析:选B。B 考查名词辨析。前文“lost both lower legs”(双腿失去),后文“below the knee”和“prosthetics(义肢)”均提示双腿需要截肢手术。“double operation”意为“双下肢手术”,与语境吻合。treatment“治疗”范围过宽;recovery“恢复”是术后阶段,前文尚未进行手术;attempt“尝试”与手术无关。故选B。
2.2.
A courage
B potential
C patience
D confidence
解析:选B。B 考查名词辨析。前文“A promising teenage footballer”(有前途的少年足球运动员)表明他被教练认为有发展潜力。“great potential”(巨大潜力)是教练对年轻球员的常见评价。courage、patience、confidence虽为正面品质,但文中无任何线索指向这些词。故选B。
3.3.
A successful
B painful
C simple
D rapid
解析:选A。A 考查形容词辨析。前文“He was taken to hospital”交代了入院,后文“now he is undergoing intensive rehabilitation”(正在接受康复治疗)表明手术效果良好,顺利进入了康复阶段。“The operation was successful”(手术成功)与“undergoing rehabilitation”构成因果关系——手术成功才能开始康复。Painful“痛苦的”与开始康复矛盾;simple“简单的”过于随意;rapid“快速的”与术后需要长期康复的事实不符。故选A。
4.4.
A watch
B stop
C make
D help
解析:选A。A 考查动词辨析。固定结构watch sb do sth,意为“观看某人做某事”。前文交代Adam刚做完手术、依靠轮椅出行,他专程来到赛场,目的是在场观看队友比赛、见证他们获胜,观看体育赛事是watch的典型用法,语义完全匹配场景。stop阻止,make使,help帮助不符合语境。故选A。
5.5.
A properly
B merely
C completely
D clearly
解析:选D。D 考查副词辨析。前文“He does not remember the accident”,后文却记得手术前醒来的片段——这种状态下,他对事故“记得不清楚”而非“完全不记得”。“not remember clearly”(记不清楚)准确描述了他有部分记忆但不完整的状况。Properly“恰当地”搭配不自然;merely“仅仅”语义不通;completely“完全地”语气过强——他记得术后醒来的场景,并非completely不记得。故选D。
6.6.
A waited
B searched
C prayed
D apologised
解析:选D。D 考查动词辨析。后文“I kept saying sorry to her, thinking I’d put the whole family through such terrible worry”直接给出依据,Adam因自己遭遇车祸、让全家承受巨大担忧而内心愧疚,打电话向母亲道歉。apologise for sth为某事道歉,贴合原文内心愧疚的情绪。waited“等待”、searched“寻找”、prayed“祈祷”均不能与“for what was happening”构成合理语义。故选D。
7.7.
A eager
B ready
C confused
D surprised
解析:选D。D 考查形容词辨析。后文“he hadn’t expected them all to be there”(没想到他们都会来)直接指向surprised(惊讶的),“hadn’t expected”是surprised的关键前提——若没想到他们会来,看到他们时的反应就是“意外”和“惊讶”。Confused“困惑的”与语境无关(看到家人并不令人困惑),eager“渴望的”和ready“准备好的”均与“hadn’t expected”的逻辑矛盾。故选D。
8.8.
A support
B talent
C luck
D strength
解析:选A。A 考查名词辨析。前文“see his family and his football coach”以及后文“They’ve all been here for me every day”(他们每天都陪着我),这些人每天陪在身边是一种持续的“支持”(support)。talent“才能”、luck“运气”、strength“力量”均不能概括家人和教练每日陪伴的意义。故选A。
9.9.
A boring
B positive
C painful
D stressful
解析:选B。B 考查形容词辨析。连词 but 表转折,前后两种感受形成反差。这段康复时光整体有很多积极收获(家人陪伴、康复取得进展、重新见到队友),但与此同时日复一日的训练也让人疲惫。positive 积极乐观的,对应康复过程中收获的温暖与希望;boring、painful、stressful均与tiring同属负面方向,无法形成转折,故排除。故选B。
10.10.
A low
B bright
C weak
D dark
解析:选B。B 考查形容词辨析。原句“Adam said his hopes were __10__ for the next stage of his life”。“hopes were bright”(充满希望)是常见搭配,与原文Adam积极康复、对未来充满期待的整体态度一致。Low“低落的”方向相反;weak“虚弱的”不搭配hopes;dark“暗淡的”虽可搭配但语义消极,与Adam的乐观态度矛盾。故选B。
11.11.
A fashion
B flow
C plan
D moment
解析:选B。B 考查固定短语。原句"I am just going with the __11__"为固定习语"go with the flow"(顺其自然)。前文他对未来充满希望,但同时又保持平常心——"I am still a normal guy"(我还是个普通人),这种"有期待但不强求"的态度与go with the flow完全吻合。fashion、plan、moment均非此固定习语。
12.12.
A case
B favour
C spite
D terms
解析:选D。D 考查固定短语。原句“in __12__ of his future mobility”。“in terms of”(就……而言)是固定短语,他是在评价“就未来的活动能力而言,膝盖以下截肢是好事”。in case of“以防”、in spite of“尽管”、in favour of“有利于”均不符合句意——他是在做判断而非说“有利于”。故选D。
13.13.
A calm
B quiet
C upbeat
D honest
解析:选C。C 考查形容词辨析。前文“He’s kept everyone else really ___”,妈妈形容Adam让周围人都保持积极。“upbeat”(乐观的、积极的)准确描述了他感染周围人的特质。calm“冷静的”、quiet“安静的”、honest“诚实的”均与他鼓舞身边人的形象不符。故选C。
14.14.
A time
B day
C rest
D point
解析:选A。A 考查固定短语。“taking a day at a ___”为固定短语“take it a day at a time”(一天天来)。time为固定搭配。day本身与前面的“a day”重复;rest“休息”不搭配;point无此固定表达。故选A。
15.15.
A forward
B outside
C around
D away
解析:选A。A 考查副词。前文“He’s not let it get him down, and just wants to go ___”。父亲说他不被困难击倒,只想“继续前进”(go forward),体现他不沉溺于过去、勇敢面对未来的态度。forward与“not let it get him down”(不被击垮)形成递进关系——不仅没被打倒,还要往前走。outside、around、away均太过模糊。故选A。
