Sometimes a stepparent has to take a step back. When I was thirtyfive, I met my husband and came to know his kids, aged 10 and 7.We __1__ playing basketball and shopping for cartoon books and became great friends. Then I got __2__.
In most cases, stepkids live with their mom and stepdad. This makes our case quite __3__. Four years into our marriage, after going between their mom’s place and ours, the boys __4__in with us fulltime.
I was no longer a parttime friend, so everything changed. For example, __5__ the kids to help didn’t appear an important thing before, but now they became unwilling. Once, after I’d asked my elder stepson to set the table, he __6__ said, “You’re not my mother; I don’t have to __7__ you.”
It was painful but I realized it was about keeping __8__clear in our new family life. I told him he was right—I wasn’t his mom; I was another person in his life who loved him, and we needed to get things done __9__.
Even in a lifein situation, a stepparent isn’t the parent. You help with everything and __10__ lots of hugs and laughs. But you also have to learn to stand in the shadow. For example, when there were only enough __11__ for Mom and Dad to sit up front, I sat in back. It was hurtful, but I realized it wasn’t personal.
Today, my stepsons know where to find me, whether it’s for long chats or a(n) __12__email to say hi. And I know where to find them. The caring is surely there, even if the bloodline isn’t.

My heart quaked. I thought about the few toys Helen had and how many hours I had spent sewing this one. Now she wanted to __21__ it away. We stood in silence, the ladies staring at me. I struggled with my feelings. I thought of all the things we needed and didn’t have.
Everyone held their __22__ as I bent down to face Helen. “Of course, Helen,” my voice nearly __23__, “you’re right. We forgot the toy. How thoughtful of you to remember!”

Yesterday I totally changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being in a debt, he was happy and __37__ that it was because of something he saw in India.
A few years ago he was __38__ feeling sad and was touring India. He said right in front of his eyes, he saw an Indian mother __39__ her child’s right hand with a knife. The helpless __40__ in the mother’s eyes and the painful scream of the __41__ fouryearold child still remained in his mind.
The desperate mother made the child handicapped (disabled) so that he could go out on the streets to beg. __42__ by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating. And almost at once, several children __43__ around this small piece of bread covered with sand, taking bits from one another. It was the __44__ reaction of hunger. He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread. As he gave out the bread to the children (mostly handicapped), he __45__ cheers and bows from these unfortunate children. For the first time in his life, he understood how people could give up their __46__ for a loaf of bread. He came to __47__
how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to __48__ about food that didn’t taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him never dreamed of having. Perhaps life wasn’t bad at all.

专限时训练(十五)
(一)
本文为夹叙夹议的文章,作者首先叙述了与丈夫原有的孩子的交往,接着论述作为继父母,如何与这些孩子相处,文章最后讲述运用合适的方法所取得的效果。
1.C 从空后的playing basketball and shopping for cartoon books and became great friends我们可以知道,“我”与他们过得很愉快。其他答案均有一定干扰性。pass time意思是“消磨时间”,agree on意思是“同意”,set about开始,着手。本句主要是与下面所讲述的“随着年龄的增大,这些孩子与我形成对抗”作对比,因此C项最佳。
2.D 前面讲I met my husband,接下来“我”就结婚了。C有较大干扰性,get changed意思是“换衣服”,显然不合意。
3.A In most case, stepkids live with their mom and stepdad而我们的情况是“孩子与父亲和继母生活在一起”,因此说unusual。
4.B 从空后的with us fulltime可以推断出,孩子们搬进来与我们住在一起。
5.B 以前让孩子帮忙不是件麻烦的事情。其他答案中allowing意思是“允许”, advising意思是“建议”, inviting意思是“邀请”,根据后文“我”让他们帮忙时,他们总是拒绝,可以得此答案。
6.C B, D有较大干扰性,联系前文after我们知道,quickly与immediately不合适。
7.B 因为你不是我们的母亲,我们不听你的。
8.A 从后文I wasn’t his mom; I was another person in his life可知,“我”认为到了把各自的角色搞清楚的时候了。
9.B 叫他帮忙的目的是一起做事情。
10.D 从空后的lots of hugs and laughs我们知道,是彼此“共享”,而不是“有”。
11.D 有足够的票让父母坐在前排,“我”也选择坐后排。
12.C 从空后的to say hi我们得出答案。to say hi在这里的意思是“问候一下”,因此是a quick email。
(二)
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,记述了感恩节前夕发生在一对母女身上的感人故事。虽然家境贫寒,但是母亲仍然捐献给因失火而身陷困境的邻居一些物品。正在这时,仅仅三岁的女儿决定要捐献自己最喜爱的玩具熊,妈妈舍不得但是又不忍伤害女儿幼小的心灵,勉强同意了。女儿年龄虽小,但是心胸不小,可爱可敬。
13.A 上文提到住所简陋,又没有工作,生活艰堆,只能勉强量入为出。struggled (努力,奋斗)符合语境。
14.B 由下文列举各方援助的具体细节可知大家在“援助(rescue)”。
15.A 依据下文I helped carry items to their car可知她们是来募捐的,“收集(collecting)”捐献物品的。
16.D 其实作者内心是“期盼,渴望(longing)”捐献更多物品的,但实在是心有余而力不足。
17.D 依据下文you’re right. We forgot the toy…推断出这里女儿的意思是我们“忘记(forgot)”拿什么东西了。
18.B 作者还没来得及跟着女儿进屋,她已经又跑了出来。before这里作“还没来得及……就……”。
19.B 结合上下文推断该玩具熊是女儿的最爱。
20.A 女儿看着“我”的脸,察言观色,试探“我”的态度。
21.C 女儿现在要把她最喜爱的玩具捐出去。give away捐献。
22.C 大家都屏住呼吸,静观事情的发展。hold one’s breath是固定短语,意为“屏住呼吸”。
23.B 这里指“我”都要说不出话了。
24.D 这件事让作者意识到她的女儿心地善良,可爱可敬。
(三)
本文讲述了Duane与作者的交往。Duane对作者的一片真情深深地打动了作者。
25.B 当作者看到Duane还站着,以为他昨晚可能遇到什么事情,因此过去询问。此处只是作者的一种想法而已,故选B。
26.C 根据下文可知作者没有看Duane送的礼物,所以Duane眼神中透出受到伤害的委屈。
27.A 此处disappointedly失望地,对应上文的hurt。
28.D 作者打开盒子,看到的是两个啤酒瓶盖,这让她很吃惊。the sight of…看见……
29.C
Duane 告诉作者这是两只银耳环。
30.B 作者被Duane的创造性和考虑周到“打动(touched)”了。
31.B 作者担心戴上耳环,会容易让人注意到自己畸形的耳朵。draw attention to引起对……的注意;do good to对……有益;add weight增加重量;make use of充分利用。
32.A 但是面对学生的一片真诚,作者怎么能够“拒绝(refuse)”呢?
33.C 根据上文提示,从Duane的家庭背景来看,他是个“特殊的(special)”学生。generous慷慨的;honest诚实的;sad悲伤的; 均不符合语境。
34.B 作者当着全班学生的面把耳环戴上,这时全班的学生都鼓掌。
35.C 根据第一段的提示可知Duane生活在单亲家庭,而且母亲有很多问,所以他的“处境(situation)”不是很好。
36.C 尽管贫穷,Duane还是乐于“给予(give)”。please取悦; take索取; accept接受。
(四)
全文讲述了与朋友的一次谈话改变了“我”对生活的态度。
37.A 下文是解释(explain)负债而又很高兴的原因。
38.B 由语境可知,“我”的朋友在去印度旅行目睹了那情景后,才改变了对生活的态度,觉得和那里的人比起来,自己很幸运。所以以前他也的确是(really)很悲观。而certainly确定地;seriously严肃,认真地; absolutely绝对地; 均不符合文意。
39.D 由下一段的第一句话可知,这位绝望的母亲是通过用刀切掉(cut off)孩子右手的方式使她的孩子残疾(handicapped)的。
40.A 这位母亲这时眼睛里流露出的应是无助的表情(expression),而不是hope(希望),impression(印象)和anger(愤怒)。
41.C 母亲是生活所迫不得已而为之,所以孩子是无辜的(innocent)。而guilty(有罪的; 内疚的),tiresome(烦人的),numb(麻木的),均不符合文意。
42.D 朋友对眼前的这一幕感到非常震惊(shocked),因为在这之前他只知道自己不幸。而感到困惑的(puzzled)和讨厌的(disgusted)都不能描述朋友当时的心理状况。
43.A 当他把一小块面包掉到地上时,马上就有好几个孩子聚拢(gather)在这一小块沾满沙子的小面包上,一个接一个的一点儿一点儿地吃。
44.C 这(指上文提到的几个小孩抢面包)是饥饿的本能(natural)反应。
45.A 联系空后的cheers and bows我们可以知道,他受到了孩子们的欢呼与鞠躬。
46.D honor尊敬, 荣誉;identity身份,特征(指从本质上确认或识别某物的一系列特征的总和); morals道德; 均不符合句意。
47.B come to realize 开始意识到,逐渐认识到。句意:他开始意识到能拥有一个健康的身体、一份工作,一个家庭,有机会抱怨(complain)不好吃的食物,还拥有许多眼前这些不幸的孩子做梦都没有梦到过的东西是多么地幸运!这里暗示他对生活的态度开始发生了改变。acknowledge承认(表示不情愿或在压力之下揭示真相); conclude推断(通过推理得出逻辑性的结论或结果); recognize承认,认可(认识到或表现出接受……的合理性或真实性); 均不符合文意。
48.A 这里是把自己抱怨(complain)食物不好吃和眼前的这些孩子们没得吃作比较。
