正确答案及相关解析

正确答案

(1)—(5)BDCAD  (6)—(10)ABCDB  

(11)—(15) DCDAB  (12)—(20)  DCBAC

解析

(1)由with lots of meetings(有大量的会议)可知应是很繁忙的(busy)三天。

(2)第一句说作者在检票前30分钟到了机场,所以就有额外的时间来计划接下来需要做的事情。extra额外的。显然extra符合文义,能较好地把句子补充完整。

(3)结合上下文,那三天来,由于一直忙于参加很多会议,“我”很乐于有时间来计划接下来“需要”做的事情。所以needed适合。

(4)分析句意可知,这时机场发布了一项公告。announcement公告,宣告;declaration声明,宣言;speech演讲;opening空缺;开端。根据词义的不同,announcement合适。

(5)飞机出了问题,带来的应是航班“延误”或者被“取消”的结果,但从下文可知,飞机航班并没有被取消,所以B项cancelled(取消)错误。

(6)飞机没有来,“我”坐在那里应该是“等待航班”。flight飞行;班机。

(7)下一句中出现了lunch照应前文。

(8)整句话意思是:席间,我们一起回想过去的时光,填补了彼此12年没见面的空白。根据句意和词组用法,C项正确。

(9)we had...together为定语从句,修饰the good times and the great

experiences。share表示“分享,共有”,可以与其构成完整的句意,即:回忆起以前我们一起度过的快乐时光,我们都很开心。

(10)由“...we must do it again.”可知我们很满意那天的聚会。

(11)有这样额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想应是在大脑中,所以mind(头脑,精神)合适。

(12)这里说的是作者的感受:我还认识到经常回顾生命中的快乐时光的重要性。reminder引起回忆的事物。

(13)从上下文可知,作者认为自己很幸运,有这样一个机会来放松一下并回忆过去12年的快乐时光。break恰好能与take搭配,意思是“放松,休息”。

(14)store away贮藏,保存;puton穿上;set aside留出;撤销;give out分发;用尽。分析句意,应为:这就有点像是在看储藏在家里柜子里的老相册一样。

(15)看着相册,展现在眼前的应是许多精彩的“回忆”。memory记忆,回忆。

(16)上文提到了photo album,显然文中说的应该是“照片”中的人物。呈现在你眼前的是许多精彩的回忆,它们带你回到过去的时光和场景,更重要的是,它们让你想起相片中的那些人。

(17)3小时后,回家的班机终于要起飞了。由第二段第一句话“As I sat waiting for my...to be called...”可知答案为called。

(18)飞机来了,作者要登机。board the plane登机,为正确答案。

(19)通过整篇文章我们分析作者此时的心情应是很愉快的。

(20)作者心情好的原因应是“有时间去回顾那些逝去的好时光”。第二段和第三段都提到reflect on这个短语,意思是“仔细考虑”。
