(八)本文是记叙文。以前“我”总是以自我为中心，读大学时“我”很少与别人沟通，后来主动帮助别人。通过在养老院与一个老太太相处，“我”学会了要多关爱他人而不光是关注自己，帮助别人可以让自己快乐这个道理。 1.A
由下句可知，“我”的态度出现了“变化”，不再是以自我为中心。 2.C
根据文章第二句in the past two years I have really changed可推知，“我”现在是个与之前“不同”的人。 3.C
根据生活常识，上大学可以得到学位，而“我”起初就仅仅是为了拿到“学位”。 4. A
根据句意，“我”自持智商高，瞧不起班上的同学，故很少和他们说话。 5. B
由I thought I was smarter than everyone else可知，作者没有朋友，很“孤独”。 6. D
根据下文，I started asking people around me how they were doing…I offered to help.可知，“我”这样做，是一个“尝试”。 7. B
“我”主动帮助有困难的人。offer to do sth.“主动做某事”。 8. D
前文中出现转变different，这里说的一大跨越 (step)，与前文相符，属于近义重现。 9. A
前文说的是“我”生活态度的转变，故用attitude（态度）。 10. B
由逻辑关系可知，“我”每次去看望那位老太太，她都把“我”当成她的女儿了，所以她应该感到“高兴”。 11. C
由so引导的句子可知，她的女儿从来都不来“看望”她。 12. D
由后面的句子making others feel good made me feel good too可知，老人使我“明白”了一个道理。see在此相当于understand。 13. B
老人教会了好些道理，因此“我”很“感激”她。 14. C
根据前文的事例可知，“我”变成了一个“更好”的人。 15. D
这些经历“教会”“我”要多关爱别人。

(九)本文为记叙文。文章记叙了作者和他的朋友为了庆祝考试结束，去一家快餐厅吃饭所发生的事情。作者从这个事情中了解到了世界上还是有善良的人。 1. A
根据首句地点环境是restaurant，排除arranged和demanded。此句动作发出者是we，承受者是汉堡包和可乐，故作为顾客只能是“点餐”(ordered)了。顾客不是制作汉堡盒可乐的人，故排除made。 2. D
本句句意为：钱包上的带子被“卡”在了椅子上，故选D。catch“捉住、卡住、困住”，而cut“砍；切”，fix“修理；固定”，tie“捆绑”。 3. C
托盘从手中滑落，盘子里的东西洒在了一位客人身上，故用fell，选C。hung“悬挂”， knocked“敲门”， stood“站立”。 4. B
考查搭配和词义辨析。take a bite“咬一口”。而要是选chew“嚼”的话，应改为chewed his sandwich，swallow“吞，咽”。故选B。 5. A
discouraged“沮丧的”， annoyed“气恼的”，disappointed“失望的”，shocked“震惊的”。根据常识可推知，作者将食物泼洒在客人身上后感到很是“震惊”。 6. C
根据上下文的逻辑关系，作者很害怕，自然“闭上了”（closed）眼睛。
7. D
根据上下文的逻辑关系，衣服被泼食物，自然感到“生气” (anger)。 8. B
由上文的shaky和unsure可知，作者他们的心情很忐忑，但是他们尽力想“镇定”(calm)下来。 9. A
那个男的从洗手间出来直接朝我“走过来” (approached)。此处，approach sb.=come up to sb. “走近某人；接近某人”。 10. C
当那个男人朝我们走过来时我的心几乎都停止跳动了, 心跳用beat。其他搭配: one’s heart sink(心沉了下去), one’s heart break(心碎了)。 11. D
结合语境，由上文的call可知，作者以为那个男的会要求要自己父亲的电话“号码” (number)并给父亲打电话，故选D。 12. B
结合语境，to my surprise，那个男人居然给钱他买一份汉堡，令作者感到“惊讶”。 13. B
本句句意为：那个男士“甚至”还没吃完就离开了，故选B。ever曾经，even甚至，already已经，never永远。 14. C
对那位善良大度的男士的正确评价。根据故事描述，他是一位和蔼大度的人物，故选C，其他选项皆不合语境。 15. A
本句是文章的结尾句一般用于简单概括总结，结合本文是一篇回忆性的文章，故最后表达的是作者永远不会“忘记”这位男士的举止行为，故选B。
“Look, it’s Baldy!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was used to regular insults（侮辱）because of the
1

When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious burns after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head.
1. A. hat
B. scarf
C. scars
D. cuts (十) I was
2
to hospital in no time and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors
3
to save my life.

B. lucky
C. lonely
D. poor 5. A. pressed
B. occupied
C. left
D. painted As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I
6 wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home. If I didn’t, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me, they never
7
understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was
8
to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help.

by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars.

D. proud
(十)本文为记叙文，讲述了一个小女孩头上因为被油烫伤，头顶有疤痕秃顶，从自卑到自信的过程。 1. C
根据原词重现。从后文得知女孩是被油烫伤，所以头上应该是“伤疤”。也可以从下文―But she’ll be _____ with scars on her head.找到scars 这个词。
2. A
因be taken to 被送到,
B. be tied to 被捆绑, C. be invited to 被邀请 到,
D. be forced to 被迫到,
作者被烫伤后, 应该是被紧急送到医院。
3. B
根据文意，应该是医生努力地拯救了作者的生命。fight to do sth.= struggle to do sth. “努力/尽力做某事”。 4. B
考查逻辑关系。根据下文的But she’ll…可知，作者能活下来很“幸运的”。
5. C
因A. be pressed with 窘迫于，B. be occupied with 忙于，C. be left with 被留下，D. be painted with 被画上，本题应该是头上“留下”了伤痕。
6. B
根据句意, 作者“经常”戴着头巾来盖住伤疤。 7. D
结合上下文的逻辑关系，由although所引导的让步状语从句可知，尽管作者的朋友经常安慰她，但他们从未“真正地” (really) 理解那是一种什么感觉。 8. C
因A. be promoted to 被提拔为，B. be introduced to 被引荐到，被介绍到，C. be reported to 被报道为，D. be carried to 被带到，作者是被别人“介绍”去儿童 烧伤夏令营。
9. B
由so…that… (如此……以致……) 引导的结果状语从句可知，Stephanie 从不被任何人打垮，可见她是很“坚强的” (strong)。
10. D
由同一句because所引导的原因状语可知，因为我们和别人没什么不一样，所以不要“听” (listen to) 别人怎么说。 11. C
根据文章下文意思，Stephanie 是在“鼓励” (encouraged) 作者。 7. D
联系上下文，父亲举办了独奏会而且演奏得很好，说明他成功地让老师教他学音乐。四个选项中，只有D说服，表明父亲成功做了这件事。因此选D，意思是父亲三年前退休后，说服了老师教他学音乐。A，C不符合题意，B邀请，一般指请人参加会议，搭配不当。 8. B
联系上下文，演奏会开始父亲看着手指，下文写了我非常担心，还想起我办演奏会时头脑突然一片空白，不知道如何演奏的事，说明父亲此时的情况和我当时很相似，没弹奏，而只是看着手指。A粗糙地，B仅仅，C快乐地，D好奇地。据此可以选B。 9. C
根据上一题的解释，此时父亲没弹琴，所以选C，意思是我担心父亲忘谱了。A词，B录像，C笔记，音符，D课。如果不知道C有音符的意思，也可以通过排除法来选出正确答案。 10. A
父亲没有演奏让我想起以前表演时也曾非常紧张，而我表演独奏会时是在我小时候，下文倒数第3段已经提到看爸爸表演时，我跟我的儿子说话，说明我表演的时间距今已经多年，A数十年，B几周，C几小时，D几分钟，明显选A。 11. B
既然我头脑空白，不知道要怎么弹下去,可以推断手指僵硬了。选B。 12. A
但是很快就传来优美的旋律，这美妙的音乐来自爸爸的双手，这双手曾经帮我装过鱼饵，提到的手都是父亲的那双手，选A。 13. B
根据句意，此时听着父亲的演奏，我才突然意识到他所做的正是老师一直强调的。 14. D
根据句意，在父亲68岁的时候，依然能开始学新的东西，我因此而感到自豪。 15. C
上文已经提到came the beautiful melody(旋律)，说明父亲弹得很好，所以这里选C，表明Jeff认为外公弹得很好。 (四)
(2016浙江) I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new
1
, and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his
2
. 1. A. cleaner
B. reporter
C. monitor
D. teacher 2. A. courage
B. abilities
C. feelings
D. dream
So when Simon’s mother entered the room,
my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely
3
for her kisses on both my cheeks.
“I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he
4
me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend’s house.
3. A. desperate
B. responsible
C. unprepared D. unsuitable 4. A. loved
B. envied
C. pleased
D. criticized She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the
5
I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour, 6
what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without
7
knowing it?
5. A. self-respect
B. self-doubt
C. self-pity
D. self-defense
6. A. imagining
B. observing
C. wondering
D. regretting 7. A. also
B. still
C. always
D. even What I finally came to
8
was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke
9
, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this.
8. A. expect
B. remember
C. believe
D. accept
9. A. quietly
B. repeatedly
C. quickly
D. firmly He is the
10
one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the
11
of the room.” That was
it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention,
12
more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row.
10. A. lucky B. lonely
C. only
D. likely 11. A. entrance
B. middle
C. front
D. back 12. A. slept

lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came
15
and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
13. A. change
B. praise
C. thanks
D. visits 14. A. difficult
B. painful
C. valuable
D. enjoyable 15. A. early

(四)本文记叙了我不经意间的表扬，改变了学生Simon的故事。 1. D
判断我的职业。本段第二句I gave an honest account of the students’ work，以及最后一段第一句my teaching career，可以判断出我是老师。 2. B
上文写了Simon作业分数低，可是他很聪明，和别人讨论的水平已经达到成人的理解水平了，据此我们可以选B，作业决不能反映他的能力。 3. C
本段第3句写了Simon妈妈是来感谢我的，但我的感觉是“surprising me beyond speech”，既然我觉得惊讶，说明此时我是没准备的。 4. A
因为老师，Simon变得完全不一样了，他开始和朋友交谈，甚至12年来，他第一次去朋友家里呆了一个下午。从下文这些内容我们可以看到Simon与人的关系变得很不错，所以选A，他会跟妈妈说他很爱她。 5. A
她感谢我，因为我把她的儿子培养成一个有自尊的人。B自我怀疑，C自怜，D自卫都不符合句意。 6. C
下一句写了“How did I … without knowing it?”既然我不知道发生了什么事，选C，表明此时我想知道着发生了什么事。 7. D
本段第1句写了我想知道发生了什么事，说明我根本不知道什么时候、如何对这个孩子产生影响的，选D 甚至，表示强调我对这事不知情。 8. B
上一句写了我不知道什么时候影响了男孩，下文写了过去发生的对男孩有影响的事情，说明我回忆起往事，选B记住，记起。 9. A
学生Jeanne在做报告，下一句写了to encourage her to raise her voice，既然要让她说得大声一点，选A，说明Jeanne声音很小，很安静。 10. C
我让Jeanne说大声一点，因为Simon是这方面的专家，and he can’t hear you，而我也没有提到“另一个专家”，所以选C，强调Simon是Jeanne唯一需要说服的人。 11. D
根据本段倒数第二句，he happened to be the last kid in the last row，这句表明Simon坐在课室后面，选D。 12. B
后一句写了became happy，因此选B，表示他笑得更多了，更开心了。 13. B
联系上文内容，我无意间说了一句“Simon’s the expert on this” (Simon是这方面的专家)，而正是这一表扬对Simon产生了巨大的影响，所以选B，意思是那天最需要得到表扬的人，是坐在最后面的男孩。 14. C
联系下一句，I’m thankful，我很感恩，说明这个经验对我来说应该是非常有价值的，选C。 15. A
我很感恩，这个经验来得很早，这是根据第一段第二句，I am a new teacher，表明这事是在我刚刚当老师时发生的，所以这个经验出现得很早。 (五)
(2016天津) One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to
1
me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done

attitude.

of myself and set high but achievable goals.
My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the

根据本段第三句妈妈举的例子：“allowing you to skip a grade”，从“跳级”可以推测小孩子做得很好，而妈妈举的这个例子是类比了自己的情况，表明妈妈工作完成得很好，选B,意思是公司想要“提拔她”。 2. C
老师想让我跳级，证明我的成绩好，所以是“you’ve done well”。 3. A
妈妈让我思考这个问题，而我当时很迷惑，所以整个晚上我都在思考，A 解释，B 睡觉，C遗憾，D想知道，明显选D。 5. D
我的答案是思考了一整晚的，说明不容易做这个决定，所以选D，意思是我人生中第一次感到大人是需要做出如此艰难的决定。再说第三段第三句“I appreciate the tough choice she had to make”，与这里的tough是原词复现。 6. B
出现however表示转折，虽然每天都有打电话给我们，可是我依然觉得孤单，选B，意思是通电话是不能替代妈妈在我身边的。 7. D
从后半句how lonely my mother must have been，妈妈是孤单的，我们可以推测选D，表明尽管妈妈住的公寓很大，但既然妈妈很孤单，说明这个屋子很空。 8. B
句子意思是，见到妈妈的现状后，我感激妈妈，她要做的决定很艰难，因为她需要在工作和家庭中取得平衡。 9. C
下一句妈妈说了you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice，不知道选择是否正确，所以应该选C，说明我们面对的是艰难的决定(需要做出选择)。另外，第一段最后一句写了the tough decisions adults had to make，所以这里是上文decisions的复现。 10. C
面对艰难的决定，我们要保持着“passion”激情，and 表并列，所以应该是保持积极的态度。A不同的，B友好的，C 一般的，都不符合。 11. D
选项A批评，B通知，C警告，D提醒，根据句意，应该表达的是回家后，我提醒自己，妈妈能做到的，我也可以。 12. A
如果妈妈能自己住在Rio，我也可以。C尝试，D期望，妈妈已经单独住了4年了，所以“尝试”、“期望”单独住这两选项都得排除。B 提供，不符合句意。
13. C
既然妈妈能做到的我也能做到，妈妈能单独住在Rio，我也可以独立生活。 14. B
意思是，妈妈回家了，但是我不会忘记独立生活这段经历教会我的东西。妈妈不在身边，我独自生活学会了独立，这应该算是一种生活经历。 15. A
本段最后一句写The separation between us has proved to be blessing for me， blessing，祝福，好事。因此，本句的意思是（我们所做的）牺牲最终还是会得到回报，选A。

(六)本文是一篇介绍人物的记叙文。在冬天，Michael Greenberg的公文箱里总带着许多手套，赠送给那些没戴手套的穷人。很多人都认识他，也理解他的行为；而不认识的人则可能会感到惊奇。他的家庭就有这种传统，他和他父亲都认为：帮助别人可以让所有人更快乐。
1. D
根据下文提示解题。根据下文所描述的赠送手套的情况，以及倒数第二段出现的“many poor New Yorkers”和最后一段出现的“the poor”，可知选D。
2. C
根据上文提示解题。前面一句说：“对于那些人来说，他是 ‘Gloves’ Greenberg”。而这当然是一个名字。
3. B
根据转折逻辑关系解题。前面说他看起来和其他商人差不多，穿着西装，带着公文箱，但是他的公文箱里有一些手套，这就与众不同(different)了。
4. A
根据下文提示解题。下文提到“who look at the sidewalk”，和“hurry down the street”等，这些都是人的行为表现(act)。
5. B
根据下文提示词解题。下文出现了“someone；them；more people”，可知他在看人(people)。 look around意为向四周看。 6. D
根据上文提示词解题。前句说到他“look around(向四周看)”，此处应是看到(sees)某些人。
7. A
他送给人们的是手套，当然是寻找更多手(hands)冷的人了。
8.
D
根据上文提示词解题。冬天，他gives away（赠送，分发）手套；手套哪里来的呢？当然要制作或者购买（buys）才会有。
9. B
人们听说他的善举，就寄送（send）手套给他，支持他。 send意为“送，寄送”。 10. A
根据逻辑关系解题。know和understand是表示并列的逻辑。他做了这么长时间，很多人都熟悉了，因此能够理解（understand）他的行为。
11. C
根据转折的逻辑关系解题。前面说许多纽约穷人知道他，理解他的行为；但是不认识他的人有时就会对他感到惊奇（surprised）。
12. D
那些对他感到惊奇的人，只是没有意识到他只是想让他们高兴(happy)。 13. B
根据下文提示词解题。下文提到他的父亲，可知是家庭(family)，而不是：A.城市；C.街区；D.公司。
14. C
前句说他父亲的做法和想法，而他的做法和他父亲是一样的，当然他的感觉也一样了(same)。 honor意为“荣誉”。 15. A
根据下文提示和转折逻辑关系解题。后半句有but转折，且有“make a big difference”，可推知选small。

(2016四川) My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse (松鸡). It’s

7
he didn’t see her and kept working to see what she would do next.

7. A. supposed
B. realized
C. hoped
D. pretended
8. A. ignored
B. observed
C. amazed
D. disturbed
She’d run up and peck (啄) at Tom’s hands, then
9
off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the
10
and left.
As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to come out more and more often.
11
Mildred felt comfortable enough to jump up on Tom’s leg and stay long enough for me to get a
12
of the two of them together.

This friendly grouse soon felt
13
not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by.
When hunting season opened, we put a sign at the end of our driveway asking
14
not to shoot our pet grouse. My father, who lived down the road,
15
warned people not to shoot her. In fact, hunters would stop and take pictures, because they had never seen anything like her. 13. A. comfortable

(一)本文记叙的是作者的丈夫Tom与雌性松鸡Mildred成为朋友，后来Mildred还和作者周围的人和谐相处的故事。 1. D
首句写到作者看到Tom和松鸡成为朋友很吃惊，后一句写着我们很难发现松鸡，因此选D，表明松鸡和人类接触是“不寻常”的事情。 2. A
根据第六段第一句“As spring went and summer came, Mildred…”春去夏来，Mildred出现的次数更多了，说明Mildred是从春天就出现了，选A。 3. B
根据句意，Mildred是在Tom 田间工作时出现的，选B 注意，表明Tom在工作时，注意到松鸡在田间边缘走来走去。 4. D
上文提到they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching，而Mildred却是在Tom工作的地方走来走去，这样的行为是令人惊讶的，选D。 5. C
因Tom好几次看见这只松鸡，而且她在Tom身边越来越显得自由自在，且与下文第6段第3句“This friendly grouse”是复现词，选C。 6. C
根据首句Tom, has always been good with animals，可以推测选C，表示我们很快喜欢上这只松鸡，还给她名为Mildred。 7. D 联系上文，松鸡已经来到Tom身边，Tom不会看不到她。所以选D，表示Tom假装看不见它。 8. A
上一段写到Tom假装没看到Mildred，而本段第二句写Mildred故意去啄Tom的手，看Tom有什么反应，说明Mildred是希望引起人的关注，而不喜欢被人忽略，选A。 9. B
由She’d run up and peck at Tom’s hands，看出她是跑上前去啄Tom的手，所以选B，表示退后几步看看Tom的反应。 10. B
从句意理解，Mildred啄Tom的手，然后退回来，几次重复这一活动，直到她厌倦了这个“游戏”才离开。A工作，Mildred的行动不是工作，C 地方 D 人，根据下文，Mildred并没有从此不再回来，相反，她跟我们的相处显得越来越自在了。所以Mildred不应该是对地方或人感到厌倦才离开， A, C, D都不符合题意。 11. A
春去夏来，Mildred与人类相处越来越自在，“最后，她终于敢停在Tom的腿上了”，选A表示结果。 12. C
因为Mildred停在Tom的腿上时间长，作者可以给他们拍合照。A冒险，B 梦想，D 感觉，均不符合句意。 13. A
第三段第一行，第六段的第二句都提到Mildred与Tom相处得很自在(comfortable)，现在不仅和我们家相处得自在，和路过的人相处也感到自在了。 14. C
在打猎的季节，我们请其他“猎人”不要射杀我们的松鸡。 15. D
我的父亲，同样，也是请人们不要射杀我们的松鸡，选D。 (二)
Dale Carnegie rose from the unknown of a Missouri farm to international fame because he found a way to fill a universal human need.
It was a need that he first

D. insisted

point in his life. Speaking before groups did help him gain the

D. repeat (二)本文记叙了卡耐基从寂寂无名，变得全世界闻名，原因是他找到自信，做到了他想做的事情。 1. D
第一段写了卡耐基成名是因为他找到了满足人类需要的方法，本段第一句是强调句，强调人类这一需要（a need）是他在1906年首次意识到的。A承认，B填充，装，C提供，均不符合。 2. A
本段第二句讲了当时卡耐基是Warrensburg州立师范学院大三的学生，本段第四句讲了他的父亲无法提供在学院学习的某些费用，据此我们可以推断此句讲的是卡耐基为了获得教育，是要克服许多困难的，选A 教育。 3. B
上文写卡耐基为完成学业要克服许多困难，下文写父亲无法提供某些费用，所以他的家庭是比较贫困的。 4. C
后半句讲了卡耐基每天都得骑马去上学，所以应该选一个与交通相关的词，A 训练，B教学, C寄宿，D设备，应该是他的父亲没钱让卡耐基住宿舍，所以他才要骑马上学。 5. D
本段下一句提到他只有一套好的西装，因此我们可以推断，卡耐基除了没时间外，也没有体面的衣服去参加学校的活动。 6. A 他想去参加足球队，但是教练“turned down”，原因他体重太轻了，选A。相比较而言， B、C、D这几个形容词都属于正面的性格，不构成他被拒绝的原因。 7. A
从本段最后一句话得知，他的妈妈鼓励他参加辩论队，这样可以让他获得自信。因此我们可以推测选A，表明他的妈妈知道，自卑感会对他发挥潜力产生阻碍作用，为了让他重拾自信，发挥潜力，于是鼓励他参加辩论队。 8. A
根据下一段第一句，Dale took his mother’s advice，既然听取了妈妈的建议，那么他的妈妈应该是建议他参加，而不是B命令，C要求，D坚持。 9. B
妈妈建议他参加辩论队，相信这会让他有自信，结合句意选B，表明辩论队的演讲练习会让他产生自信。 10. C
卡耐基参加辩论队后，拼命地练习，多次尝试后做到了，根据句意，应该选 C，表示结果终于成功了。 11. D
表示转折点，根据上下文，上文写到卡耐基读大三（junior）时是自卑的，下文写了读大四时，他赢得很多的荣誉，从自卑到获奖无数，前后形成对比，所以参加辩论队成功应该是他人生的转折点。 12. D
既然人生有了转折，自卑的人应该是找到了自信。 13. C
联系上文，卡耐基是因为参加辩论队，练习演讲才找到自信的，所以应该是在C speech中获得荣誉。 14. B
根据Out of this early struggle to… 早年努力奋斗某事，再联系上文讲到卡耐基原本很自卑，到后来变得自信，所以选B，表明他早年是努力地战胜自己的缺点，努力克服自卑。 15. A
根据上文内容，卡耐基是因为演讲而找回自信，演讲就是要在众人面前表达自己的观点，所以选A，表示他明白在观众面前表达想法能帮助人建立自信。 (三)
(2016福建) From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital(独奏演唱会). A recital
1
I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers. Each year I would ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”. And each year he would shake his head, muttering(嘀咕) something about building self-confidence and working toward a

6
there. When he retired three years ago, he

“I’m

C. nicely
D. frequently (三)本文记叙了酷爱音乐的父亲，小时候因为家贫 无法学习音乐，但父亲并没有因此放弃，在退休后拜师学习，并于68岁时公开表演弹钢琴，而且表现出色的事。 1. C
我要练习枯燥的音乐并在陌生人面前表演，A 反映，B解释，C意味着，D证明，根据句意选C， 意思是（举办）独奏会意味着我得练习枯燥的音乐并在陌生人面前表演。 2. A
联系最后一段话，With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.比起30多年前的说教，爸爸的独奏会更是教会了我勇气和决心。因此选A，表明爸爸此时 说的话是希望我建立自信，向着自己的目标努力。 3. B
联系上下文，上文写了我小时候害怕独奏，向爸爸请求不举办他都不同意，下文写了这次是爸爸举办独奏会，而我已经看到表演前，爸爸的衬衣已经湿透，心里觉得很满意 (爸爸终于能知道我当时的感受了) 于是从A麻烦, B满意, C力量, D失望选出B。 4. A
根据下文内容，这次是爸爸举办独奏会，我在台下看到他在演奏前满身是汗。选A表示观看，看到。 5. B
回忆往事，父亲小时候因为家贫，无法负担音乐课的费用，用afford。 6. C
联系上下文，虽然家里很穷没办法让爸爸学习音乐，爸爸可能也像很多人一样感到遗憾，但出现了but，表示转折，且下文提到父亲退休后重拾梦想，所以选C，表示父亲并没有因此就困在过去，无法自拔。 *
