3、n the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear. All of this was about more than convenience.

26、我无礼可送了。 【小题 1】 C复合连词辨析。 A. in case“万一 ”； B. even if“即使 ”； C. so that“为了 ；结果是 ” ； D. as if“仿佛，好像 ”。根据上下文，该句的句意为： “要坚持完美的时间安排来使得不存在任何的混乱。 ”，所以根据逻辑关系，要选择“so that”在此处引导目的状语从句。 【小题 2】 B副词辨析。 A. fortunately“幸运地 ”； B. frequently“时常、经常 ”； C. impossibly“不可能 ”； D. Hardly“几乎不 ”。 but在该句中表示转折，上文提到要坚持完美的时间安排来避免混乱
27、，该句则表示 “但是我却 “时常 ”发现事与愿违。 ”所以 there is后乘前省略了 confusion，该空要填一副词来修 饰 is，根据句意此处填 B. frequently“时常、经常 ”。 【小题 3】 D动词辨析。该句句意为： “当我 收到 Kalyani的邀请去她的婚礼的时，我在日记上记录了一下。 ”所以，正确答案：为 D. received“收到 ”。 【小题 4】 D副词辨析。 A. finally“最终 ”； B. immediately“立即 ”； C. suddenly“突然 ”； D. naturally“自然地 ”。 Kalyani以前是我的同学，并且我们关系很好

29、以此处，我是要 “找 ”我认识的人。故 正确答案：为 B. look for. 【小题 7】 B副词辨析。 A. carefully“仔细地 ”B. clearly“清晰地 ”C. completely“完全地 ”D. easily“容易地 ”根据本段后半部分出现的，我发现 “it was not Kalyani at all”。所以，此时我从我坐的地方是看 “不清楚 ”她的。故正确答案：为 B.

30、据语境，尤其是下一句 “She looked a little fat now”（她现在看起来有点胖了），所以，该空填 D.changed.(我觉得她 “变 ”了一些 )。 【小题 9】 A动词辨析。 A. shook（ ones head） “摇头 ”； B. nodded（ ones head）“点头 ”； C. bent“使弯曲 ”； D. covered“覆盖 ”，根据上文提到的我觉得她变了，变得胖了点还带了眼睛，这些变化显然并不是很好，所以我 “摇了摇头 ”。故正确答案：为 A.shook. 【小题 10】 D动词辨析。 A. slowed （ down） “放慢，减速 ”； B.
31、looked （ down）“俯视 ”； C. calmed（ down） “镇定下来 ”D. settled down“坐下来；安顿下来 ”，在该情景中，无论如何我还是 “坐了下来 ”等待着婚礼的仪式。所以，答案：为 D. settled down. 【小题 11】 D动词辨析。根据语境，此处的文意应为 “婚礼仪式一结束，大家排成一队来 祝贺 这对新人。 ”，故正确答案：为 D. congratulate.(congratulate sb“祝贺某人 ”)。 【小题 12】 C名词辨析。 A. note“笔记 ”； B. invitation“邀请，请柬 ”； C. present“礼物 ”；

Anyway“尽管、即使这样 ”，例如： The water was cold but I took a shower anyway. 根据上文可知我去错了婚礼，而该句的句意是我还是被像宾客一样被对待。 所以根据其逻辑关系，此空填 D. Anyway来表示让步关系。 【小题 18】 B 情态动词辨析。该句表示一种极为肯定的推测。我参加错了婚礼，但仍被以宾客来对待，所以他们 “肯定以为 ”我是他们对方的客人。在肯定句中表示语气最为肯
35、定的推测时用 must，所以正确答案：为 B.must. 【小题 19】 A形容词辨析。根据下文可知我在这个地方看到了 Kalyani，根据常识 Kalyani应该在迎接宾客，所以该处应是等待区、迎客区，所以正确答案：为： A. waiting. 【小题 20】 B名词辨析。 A. thought“思考 ”； B. trouble“麻烦、烦恼 ”； C. sorrow“悲伤、不幸 ”； D. doubt“怀疑、疑惑 ”，我现在已经把礼物阴差阳错地送给了别人，所以在看到我此刻当新娘的老同学时，我意思到我的麻烦来了。所以正确答案：为： B. trouble. 考点：记叙文 阅读理解 This af
