18、备。(2)She is preparing her speech for the meeting.她在为大会准备演讲稿。(3)Im not prepared to listen to your excuses.我不打算听你的借口。答案.1.A看到儿子病重，家里又花光了钱，因此母亲伤心，选“眼含泪水的”符合逻辑。2C下文有提示，只有出现奇迹才能救孩子的命。此处是“只有”，而不是“仅仅”故不选A或B。3D从储蓄罐里把零花钱“倾倒”出来，符合语境。4Bmake ones way to.向走去。5C此处表示对象，故用介词for。6D前后文都有提示，小女孩用自己的零花钱去买“奇迹”，符合小孩的性格特点。
19、7A弟弟病重，是脑袋里长了“坏的”东西。extra表示“额外的”，不符合小孩的语言特点和认知水平。8C从上文的“buy a _”可知，此处选sell，与buy对应。9B药剂师已经了解了小女孩的弟弟的情况，但帮不上小女孩，因此“伤心地”微笑。10A下文有提示，这儿刚刚出现这位“穿着体面的”顾客，不能马上断定他是“好心的”，故不选B。11B12C后面有提示，前面也出现了小女孩的弟弟的脑袋里长了“坏”东西的信息，因此小女孩知道需要“手术”才能救弟弟的命。A项“医生”太笼统，B项“外科医生”，概念太专业，超出了小女孩的认知水平。13A从后面这位顾客问小女孩有多少钱，可得出答案，小女孩告诉对方把自己所有
20、的“积蓄”都带来了。14D15B此处这位顾客了解了小女孩的用意， 故幽默地说：1美元11美分“正好”是买一个奇迹的钱，说明这位顾客决定帮助小女孩的弟弟。16C这位顾客要到小女孩家里去，因此让小女孩“带”他去，其他的都不符合逻辑。17D这位顾客要去“见”小女孩的父母，以便进一步了解情况。18C免费手术，符合文意。19D小女孩的弟弟不久就回了家并痊愈了，注意此选项与后面doing well的并列关系，其他三个选项与doing well在意义上重复。20B用1美元11美分买来奇迹，反映了小女孩的 “信念”。.1.C推理判断题。根据文章第一句判断A项错误；从文章有关地震所致伤亡情况的叙述来看，B项错误
21、；根据第一段“Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.”可知答案。2D细节理解题。根据“In 1755，one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal.Around 2,000 people died.”可知答案。3B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知答案。4A正误判断题。根据“Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people.”可知A项错误。5B推理判断题。根据文中最后一段可知，人们担心地震，因为人们不知道地震何时发生，也无法做些准备工作。由此判断接下来作者可能要谈人们要做哪些准备工作。
