10、活条件得到好转的原因及表现。第二段通过对过去的回顾与对未来的展望，叙述了朝圣者怀有感恩的心态并与当地印第安人签署友好协定，为下文感恩节的形成做了铺垫。第三段说明了感恩节产生的直接原因：朝圣者想庆祝他们定居新家的第一年。二、试题具体分析1. A in their own styleB in their own way以特有的方式C on their own单独，独立地D of their own自己的，本人的本题考核的知识点是：句内语义+固定短语快速解题空格处填入的短语作状语，修饰worship God，说明朝圣者前往新大陆的原因。in ones own way是固定搭配，意为“以特有的方式”，
11、代入文中意为“以他们特有的方式敬仰上帝”，符合上下文逻辑关系，为正确答案。on their own与of their own不符合文意，style虽然可以表示“方式、方法”，但该含义不用于in ones own结构，应排除。篇章分析至句是第一段的第一个层次，揭示了五月花号前往新大陆的原因。句是一个复合句，主干为They were looking for a place，后接where引导的定语从句修饰place。空格设置in ones own way是固定短语，如：I expect she does love you in her own way.我想她的确是以她特有的方式爱你。干扰项设置其他
12、项利用常见的固定搭配设置干扰。例句：The accident happened through no fault of her own.这一事故的发生不是她本人的过错。He did it on his own.这件事他独立完成了。2. A course航向，航线B route路线，路途C passage通道，航程D channel渠道，海峡本题考核的知识点是：名词词义辨析快速解题空格处填入的名词作lost的宾语，因此此题关键是判断那个选项可与lost搭配且符合文意。四个选项构成的动宾搭配分别表示“迷失航向”、“迷失路线”、“迷失航程”和“迷失海峡”，显然不存在后两种搭配，首先排除C和D。由于文
13、中具体指出了是海上航行，因此排除常指“地面路线”的route，最佳答案为Acourse。篇章分析至句是第一段的第二个层次，分别介绍了朝圣者在航行中及登陆后遇到的困难。空格设置course除了考生熟悉的表示“课程”的含义外，还可意为“（船或飞机的）航向，航线“，如：The plane was on/off course.飞机航向正确/偏离航向。干扰项设置其他项利用其他表示“路径”的词对course形成近义干扰。例句：Which is the best route to take? 哪一条是最佳路线？This passage will take us to the other building.穿
14、过这条通道，我们就可以到达另一座大楼。Complaints must be made through the proper channels.投诉必须通过正当途径进行。3.A Uncomfortable令人不舒适的B Bad令人不快的，坏的C Unfavourable不利的，有害的D Terrible可怕的，造成极大伤害的本题考核的知识点是：上下文语义+形容词辨析快速解题空格处填入的形容词做定语修饰months，意为“的几个月”。months后面的of介词结构也做定语后置修饰months，由of后面的一系列名词“starvation、disease、death”可知，这几个月的情况是极其严重的
15、，因此，在四个选项中应选择表示恶劣程度最深的terrible。空格设置terrible的词义和用法比较简单，本题需要考生理解上下文的具体内容做出选择。干扰项设置其他项利用表示“不利的”的形容词设置干扰，考生需结合词语表达含义的程度与具体语境排除干扰。4. A passed通过，经过；消磨，度过B sustained维持（生命、生存）C survived生存；幸存，挺过，艰难度过D spent花（时间），度过本题考核的知识点是：上下文语义+动词辨析快速解题空格所在部分意为“朝圣者中只有最为强壮的人那个冬天”。pass常用于指无聊或等人时打发、消磨时间；spend强调以某种方式花时间，常接on sth或in doing sth来表示方式。sustain虽然含有“生存”的意思，但其后常接life或人作宾语，不符合文中用法
