Question

I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work done in my study while she ___36___ to be having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too ___37___ and I shouted, “What are you doing?” No response. I ___38___ my question and heard her say, “Oh,…nothing.” Nothing？

I got up from my desk and ran out ___39___ the living room, where I saw her running across the hall. I followed and watched her as her little behind made a quick ___40___ into the bathroom. I had her ___41___! I told her to turn around. She ___42___. I pulled out my big Daddy voice, “Young lady, I said turn around!”

___43___, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife’s new lipstick. And every square inch of her face was ___44__ with bright red! As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, I heard ___45__ voice that had been shouted to me as a child. “How could you…You should know…How many times have you been ___46___ … What a bad thing to do…” It was just a matter of my picking out which old ___47___ I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But ___48___ I could become angry, I looked ___49___ at the sweater on her. In big ___50___ it said, “I’M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL(天使)!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes and, ___51___ seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen, I saw a little angel full of ___52___ that I had come dangerously close to ___53___. “Sweetheart, let’s take a picture so Mommy can see how ___54___ you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t ___55__ the chance to prove what a perfect little angel she had given me.

【解析】

试题分析：

1.C。根据后面的 to be having a good time 这个不定式的进行时只有 appear 和 pretend 这两个词能使用，再根据上下语境是“看起来”玩得很开心，而不是“假装”。

2.B。根据后面的“喊”和“没有回声”来判断答案，quiet是“寂静、没有声音”之意，而不能选calm(沉着、冷静)。

3.D。因为作者喊他女儿，没有听到应声，所以又“重复”了他的问题。

4.A。从前面的动作，“起身、跑出书房”，接着“进入”起居室。into是动态介词，此处相当于and went into。

5.B。从前面的动词 follow, watch 以及 as her little behind 判断，他女儿看到他，赶紧“拐入”洗澡间。

6.C。此处 corner 用作动词，表示“把…难住、走投无路”，因为他女儿进入卫生间，所以把他给“难住了”。

7.D。根据下一句的意思，他女儿没有听他的话，“拒绝”回来。

8.A。因为她是一个三岁的小女孩，她用她妈妈的唇膏打扮自己，怕爸爸骂她，所以“慢慢地”走到她爸爸跟前。

9.D。表示满脸都被唇膏“覆盖(涂)”。

10.A。因为是个三岁的小孩，所以说话是一个字一个字地嘣，他爸爸听到的是她所嘣出来的“每个字”的声音。

11.A。根据前面的 many times 来判断，她爸爸已经“告诉”她好多遍了。

12.D。根据上文作者没有办法，还是挑选了他说了很多遍的“老话”。

13.D。根据前后两个动作的顺序，在放松“之前”，我看了看她毛衣上的“字”。

14.B。因为大人看小孩是居高临下，即往“下”看。

15.B。根据后面的 I’M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL! 这些都是大写的“字母”。

16.B。当作者看到他女儿那泪汪汪的眼(受委屈的样子)，他感到他再次看到的不是一个不听话的坏女孩。

17.A。因为前半句说作者看到的不是一个不听话的坏女孩，再从毛衣上的字来看，所以认为她是一个有“价值”的小天使。

18.C。根据下一句中的 sweetheart，作者认为差点“伤害(毁坏)”了他女儿那颗天真、甜美的心。

19.C。因为上文叙述了作者女儿用她妈妈的唇膏涂在脸上，所以他们拍了一张看起来很“特殊的”照片。

20.D。根据后面的 chance 表示“得到”或“失去”机会，根据句意应该选 miss。
