口语表达
A. I can understand that B. It sounds like we're both busy bees C. I don't have a green thumb. Amy: You know, since Peter went off to college, it's easier to take care of the house. Mary: 【D1】______, I remember when my last child moved out. It almost seemed like there was nothing to do. Before the children left, we would all get up in the morning and have a good breakfast, then the kids would go off to school, and Sam would leave for work. I'd have the rest of the day to work around the house. Amy: That sounds pretty much like my family before Peter left. When I'm not working in the house, I like to go outside and work in my vegetable garden. Most of the vegetables I grow are for my family. But I give a lot to my neighbors, too. Mary: I admire people who can do that. 【D2】______I do experiment a little now and then, but with no luck. In fact, sometimes I think I can kill plants just by looking at them. Amy: Oh, really! Mary: I often think so. Anyway, I'm not good at growing things. But I'm good at needle work. I like to sew, to mend clothes. Amy: 【D3】______, we like to keep ourselves busy. Well, I guess some people are like that.
单选题7.【D1】
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】在这段对话中，两个朋友主要谈论了孩子离开家后他们生活的变化。首先，应该明确三个答案选项的语法功能和语义。A选项是完整句，意思是：我能理解这点。B选项是完整句，意思是：看起来，我们都是忙碌的人。C选项是完整句，意思是：我没什么特殊的园艺才能，其中a green thumb(特殊的园艺才能)是固定的习语。 其次，认真阅读对话，特别是仔细体会空白处的上下文的语义。根据第1题前面Amy说的You know，since Peter went off to college，it’s easier to take care of the house (你知道自从彼得离开家后，收拾家变得容易多了)和它后面的I remember when my last child moved out(我还记得我最小的孩子搬出去的时候)可以看出第1题是对Amy所说的事情有同感，所以正确答案应该是A。根据第2题前面Amy所说的When I’m not working in the house，I like to go outside and work in my vegetable garden． Most of the vegetables I grow are for my family．But I give a lot to my neighbors，too．(当我不忙屋子里的事时，我就会去外面我的菜园里。我的蔬菜大部分是为自己家种的，有时候也会给邻居送些)以及它后面的I do experiment a little now and then，but with no luck．In fact，sometimes I think I can kill plants just by looking at them．(我也偶尔试验一下，但是运气不怎么样。事实上，有时我甚至觉得我只是看着那些植物，就能杀死它们。)可以看出她们谈论的是种菜、种植物的话题，而且Mary在这方面很不擅长，所以正确答案是C。第3题正确答案是B，与它后面的we like to keep ourselves busy(我们愿意自己忙一点)语义相符，也是对前面这段对话的概括。
