答案

解析:

16.B

从下文作者提议进行棋赛,可知女儿一直不停地邀请我和她下棋

17 D

接受的建议,用accept

18 C

从下文女儿睡觉要到了可知女儿问我是否可以把棋子走快一点

19.B

need to do需要做没事。从上文的at nine o’clock下文的she had to get up at six in the morning可知女儿需要早睡。

20.A

know知道,清楚;learn学会,了解到(从别人那儿间接知道)。

21.C

从上下文可知语意在此转折。女儿需要睡觉了,可却认为女儿能否改变一下这些严格的作息时间。

22.D

put up挂起;take up从事,占据;pick up捡起,拾起;give up放弃。

23.D

as usual像往常一样;go ahead开始做,着手干; by the way顺便问一下;come on加把劲,加油,得了吧。只有come on符合语境,因为他们玩得正高兴,不希望这么早就结束比赛,希望女儿再呆一会儿,和自己多下几局。

24.C

 从上文要求女儿再多呆一会儿可知因为正在兴头上,不愿结束比赛。We’re having fun我们玩得正高兴。

25.C

要求女儿多呆一会儿以陪自己多下几局棋,耽搁了女儿的睡觉时间,故女儿看起来有点焦急,着急

26 A

句意是如果你要下好棋,你就要下慢一些。只有well符合句意。

27 B

句意是我们又继续下了另外10分钟

28. D

nervously紧张地;immediately立刻;strangely奇怪地;suddenly突然

29. B

句意是直到女儿放声大哭并且承认自己被打败。只有admit符合句意。

30. A

make a mistake犯错;make a decision做决定;make an attempt企图,尽力;make an effort努力。从下文的So I had to change可知我犯了一个错。

31. D

与第一段开始句子One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter相呼应

32. C

allow sb./sth. to do允许…………。作者本打算借和女儿下棋搞好父女关系,结果却让求胜的私心占据了。

 

33. A

important重要的;attractive引人注目得;practical实际的,实用的;interesting有趣的。求胜的私欲变得比良好的父女关系更重要。故只有important符合句意。

34. B

offer提供;serve服务,对……有用;control控制;teach教。语意是我小时候求胜心就很强

35. A

作为人父,我意识到这种求胜私欲挡住了父女关系的发展,我必须得改,故realize符合题意。
