It was the middle of the nigh…——2014 高考英语第 35 题答案解析

【答案】D

【解析】

试题分析：由句子意思分析可知，my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game.作定语修饰 the middle of the night.即 my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game in the middle of the night. 定语从句缺少时间状语，用in which/when来连接。因此 D选项正确。如果在原题的短语the middle of the night前加个介词 in的话，那么就变成了强调句型（这样去掉 it was...that...三个词，句子意思完整： 成分齐全。所以此题选A选项是错误的。句意为“午夜时分，我父亲叫醒我去看足球赛。”。 考点：考查定语从句。

“Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please? It’s Friday, and we don’$t have any \_36\_\_.Can I, please$?” $Mum was sitting at the kitchen table.

“I’m so sorry, James,” she said.

“I’m never allowed to have friends come to the house? Why, Mum?” $James asked sadly, almost in \_39\_\_.$ “I know it’$s \_40\_\_ for you,$” Mum said softly. “But I’m just worried other people might think we’re a little…

strange. And then they would make fun of you.”

“No, they wouldn’t, Mum,” James protested. “We’$re not \_41\_\_ at all. We$’re just ordinary people.”

Mum sighed heavily. “To tell you the truth, James, my neck has been so painful that it’$s given me a heavy \_42\_\_. And your poor father$ –he doesn’$t feel \_43\_\_. He really needs a rest.$”

“I can help, Mum!” James said. “$\_44\_\_ I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over$ ? Please?”

“Well…”Mum began.

“Great! Thanks Mum!” James almost shouted. “Just sit there, don’t move.” $He rushed over to the kitchen drawer and \_45\_\_ what he needed$ –two spanners. “Hang on, Mum,” he said. “This won’t take a second.” $After some \_46\_\_, James was finished. With a smile of \_47\_\_ on his face he said,$ “There! How does that feel?” “Oh, James,” Mum said. “That’s a much better! How did you do it?”

“Easy,” $James said \_48\_\_.$” Dad had tightened your neck bolts (螺栓) too much! $I just\_49\_\_ them slightly$! I learned that in robotic science at school.”

“What about you father? $Can you \_\_\_ him$?” asked Mum.

“I’ll try,” $James replied. He \_\_51\_ up Dad$’s hair at the back of his neck. and plugged the electric wire into Dad’$s head. Then he turned the \_52\_\_on. Dad opened his eyes and \_53\_\_ immediately.$ “$He just let his \_54\_\_run too low, that$’s all,” James said, “Shall I tell Brett to come over straight after school tomorrow?”

“I guess so,” replied Mum. “$Your friends will just have to \_55\_\_ that we are a very unusual family. Thanks, son$!”
