　　(2010·海淀期末练习)

　　The Pecan Thief

　　When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas.

　　Grandpa had sent me into the

　　__1__

　　to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.

　　Pecan picking was really

　　__2__

　　work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn't about to

　　__3__ Grandpa down. Just then something caught my

　　A large brown squirrel was a few feet away.

　　I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and

　　__5__

　　in a large hole in the trunk.

　　A moment later the squirrel

　　__6__

　　out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut.

　　Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.

　　Not so

　　__7__

　　anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole.

　　It was

　　__8__

　　with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my

　　__9__. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so

　　__10__

　　__11__， I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans！” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many？” I told him how I'd

　　__12__

　　the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

　　Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that __13__

　　me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently

　　__14__

　　my shoulders.

　　“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter

　　__16__

　　the cold winter？”

　　“I didn't think about that，” I said.

　　“I know，” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take

　　__17__

　　of someone else's hard work.”

　　Suddenly I felt a bit

　　__18__. The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't

　　__19__

　　my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

　　答案与解析：

　　1．B　从上下文知，我被爷爷派去捡山核桃，再结合第一句中的“farm”和选项可知我应该到树林(woods)里去，而不是房间(rooms)，洞里(holes)和路上(roads)。

　　2．A　从后面的我才捡半篮山核桃可知，捡山核桃对我来说是一项挺困难的(hard)活，其他选项都不符合语境。

　　3．A　从下文知，我不想让爷爷失望，此处let sb. down是固定词组，意为“令某人失望”。

　　4．C　就在此时，不远处的一只棕色大松鼠引起了我的注意。catch one's eye表示“引起某人的注意”。

　　5．D　那只松鼠捡起一颗山核桃向一棵树跑去，最后消失(disappear)在树干的大洞中。该句中的三个动作表承接：先picked up，然后hurried to，最后disappeared。join“加入”，live“生存”，discover“发现”都不符合语境。

　　6．A　该处表示：不久，那只松鼠又从洞中跳了出来(jump out)，故选A项。hold out“伸出，坚持”；stand out“突出”；find out“发现”都不符合语境。

　　7．B　从后文中dashed over to the tree可知，作者认为松鼠捡山核桃不再是秘密了。

　　8．B　我发现洞中到处都是山核桃，be filled with是固定词组，意为“充满着”，符合语境；be covered with“覆盖”；be decorated with“用……装饰”。

　　9．C　当看到洞中有这么多的山核桃，作者认为自己的机会来了。

　　10．D　作者拿了这么多的山核桃，心里非常高兴，当然很骄傲。be proud of“自豪，高兴”，符合语境。be afraid of表示“害怕，担忧”；he ashamed of表示“感到羞愧”；be careful of表示“小心”。

　　11．D　此处表示我迫不及待地想把捡到的山核桃让爷爷看，因此兴奋地大叫起来，前后句构成“因果关系”，用therefore。otherwise“否则”；however“然而”；besides“除此之外还……”。

　　12．B　我告诉了爷爷，我是如何跟踪(follow)松鼠，从而找到这些山核桃的。

　　13．C　此处表示爷爷虽然表扬了我，但他接下来做的事情让我很吃惊(surprise)。

　　14．D　爷爷用胳膊挽着我的肩膀，用介词around。

　　15．A　松鼠努力工作，收集了过冬食物，此处supply of food表示“食物储备”。

　　16．C　你把他的食物都拿走了，难道你没有想过他在寒冷的冬天还能活下去吗？survive“挺过”，符合语境。

　　17．C　好人不应该利用(take advantage of)别人的辛勤劳动。take place of“代替”；take notice of“注意到”；take charge of“负责”，都与语境不符。

　　18．A　爷爷说了这些话后，我突然有了一种负罪感(guilty)。

　　19．B　那只松鼠挨饿的场景在我心头挥之不去，所以用leave one's mind表示“离开……心头”。

　　20．D　此处表示作者为自己做了一件正确的事情而感到很满足(satisfaction)。

　　2．C　根据全文可知，Mr. Glen把这次教训当做交了一次“额外的”学费。extra“额外的”，不包括在价目内的。文章最后一段中because an additional high “school” fee也有暗示。

　　3．B　根据前文decided to return to the homeland可知，此处表示“离开”。

　　4．C　空后的made through years of work after school and the scholarships可知，表是他用他的积蓄(课外工作所得和奖学金)买的。saving“存款，积蓄”。

　　6．C　根据后文中nearly ￥100,000可排除A项和B项，从had to pay the tax可知，携带特定的物品出境需要缴税。

　　7．B　it代指前面的the tax。

　　8．D　根据后文中carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的)goods可知。

　　9．B　be proud of“以……自豪”。他以为自己的小聪明会得逞，正洋洋自得。

　　10．A　in the presence of Glen“当着Glen的面”。

　　11．D　定语从句的引导词which指代the watch，cost的主语为物，spend的主语为人。

　　12．A　根据Glen was amazed，可知答案。他还没有明白过来是怎么回事，就被带到了办公室。

　　13．D　根据后文“他知道只有黑名单上的人物才‘享受’这种特殊待遇，工作人员仔细检查了他的包”可以判断，应选D项。

　　14．B　此处指根据多次出入境的经历，他知道……。

　　15．A　句意：工作人员警告他无论什么时候出入境，他都必须接受检查。

　　16．B　这是一个省略的虚拟语气句。If (he was) found out reusing and carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! find out“查明(真相)”。

　　17．D　board the plane“登机”。

　　18．D　固定短语make a deep impression on表示“对……留下深刻的印象”。

　　19．A　根据前文故事可知，他的经历让他懂得了诚实的重要性。

　　6．D　我每次坐出租车的时候，从司机那儿听到的都是抱怨，说他们要从清早工作到深夜……这里用hear表示“听见，听到”。

　　7．C　赚钱很难，而且经常被警察罚款。从语境和选项看，出租车司机应是被警察“罚款”，所以选C项。

　　8．C　或者埋怨说，领导懒洋洋地坐在办公室里享受他们的劳动果实。

　　9．C　从下面的叙述可知，这个司机觉得他原先那种日子很无聊，让人觉得很厌烦，因此选C项。

　　11．A　这里用hardly... without的双重否定表示肯定的含义：很幸运，我几乎从来没有拉过空车。

　　12．A　从下文的叙述判断选A项，从来不跟在跑空车的出租车后面，这样的车向南开，他就开车往北去。

　　13．D　与下文的“狭窄的街道”呼应，这里选D项表示“公路”。

　　14．B　从前文这个司机的叙述看，他很满意自己开出租车的生活，因此选B项。

　　15．D　从搭配看，这里用take pride in表示“以……自豪”。

　　16．B　从生活常识可知，高山上的氧气稀薄，因此选B项。

　　17．A　就像一句老话所说的，“不以物喜，不以己悲”，不以物质的收获为喜，不以个人的挫折为痛苦。

　　18．C　就像这个司机这样的境界，过一种简单而有思想的生活。simple与前面的high相对，符合语境。

　　19．D　此情此景，不禁让我感到不寻常。A“愤怒的”，B“满意的”，C“危险的”都不符合语境。

　　20．B　文章开头就暗示了故事发生的时间是晚上。

　　答案与解析：

　　文章为记叙文，讲述了“我”与一位患癌症的小朋友的故事。节食不吃巧克力的“我”常吃这位小朋友赠送的糖。

　　1．D　promise“允诺，许诺”。我举起手向妻子保证今天不吃巧克力。下文信息I knew my promise would...也有暗示。

　　2．A　stop doing sth.“停止做某事”。听说我要节食，不再吃巧克力妻子诙谐地问是不是医院的礼品店不卖巧克力了。

　　3．B　depend on“依靠，依赖，取决于”。我依靠我强烈的决心节食。

　　4．C　当我到医院时那小孩儿又在那儿了。

　　5．B　quickly“快，迅速地，很快地”。这个小孩子在那儿，我明白我节食的承诺很快就会消失。注意，shortly“不久，不多时”，不符合文意。

　　6．A　bottomless“取之不尽的，无限的”。这里讲包中的糖似乎取之不尽。

　　7．D　blind“瞎的”。后文中的信息which caused him to live in the darkness有暗示。

　　8．C　首先应排除years，如果Benton 15岁时患病，就与本段开头的“an eight­year­old boy”矛盾了。下一句“For the next twenty­six months, he was in and out of our hospital.”有暗示。

　　9．B　as though/as if“好像，似乎，仿佛”。看起来Benton似乎能击败病魔……。

　　10．B　develop“(开始)患(病)”。2009年4月的一个星期五的下午Benton开始头痛。

　　11．A　movement“行动，移动，行进，运动”。Benton右侧身体无法移动，失去知觉。注意：motion表示“(物体的)运动，移动，(天体的)运行；动作，姿态，手势；动机，意向”。如：The train was in motion.火车开动了。All her motions were graceful.她的一举一动都很优雅。He did that of his own motion.他出于自愿做了那件事。

　　12．C　rush此处用作及物动词，意为“快速运输，速送”。

　　13．D　上文提到Benton的母亲将他送到医院，因此这里是说，在接下来的几个月里，他又多次来我们医院。

　　14．A　would用于表示习惯性动作，如：Sundays he would sleep late.每逢星期天他总睡懒觉。文中讲Benton来医院时，我们总向他问好。

　　15．B　greeting“问候，招呼”。我们向Benton问好，他则常给我们糖。

　　16．D　opened“开的，敞开的，不闭塞的”。后文信息but not looking into this world有暗示，注意句中信息词“but”。

　　17．C　reach“伸手(或脚等)够到，触及”。我的手伸进包，取出我手指接触到的那颗糖。

　　18．B　for“为了，为……目的”，此处表示对象或目的。这是一颗我最喜欢吃的糖，好像是Benton特意为我留下的。

　　19．C　不幸地是我那个晚上在家里接到了Benton死去的噩耗。

　　20．B　hang up“挂断电话”。我挂断电话，剥开那颗糖，吃掉了(暗示回味我和Benton的这段经历)。

　　Passage 6

　　(2010·南昌调研)

　　In the depths of my memory, many things! I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call

　　an ice cream...

　　A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is

　　答案与解析：

　　本文讲述了作者在孩提时代与父亲之间的一些故事。浓浓的父爱使作者对童年有着美好的回忆。

　　1．B　并列连接词“and”暗示空格处的词语应与后面的“love”同属褒义词，所以可先排除C项和D项；再结合文章开头和下文可知文章讲的是美好的回忆，所以答案为B项。

　　2．D　下文“Any kind of __3__ ride seemed to give him pleasure.”和“he loved to fish”暗示父亲非常喜欢水上活动，故选love。

　　3．A　根据上文可知应选A项，与水有关的活动是乘船。

　　4．C　上句提到乘船能给父亲带来乐趣，后面提到父亲喜欢钓鱼，所以用and表示递进关系。

　　5．D　前文谈到父亲喜欢水上活动，the way my father did相当于my father liked being on the water。“我”喜欢在水中嬉戏而父亲喜欢水上活动。

　　6．A　句子的主干是I liked being at the water，后面的moving through it和having it all around me为现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随。have后带介词短语作宾语补足语，表示使某人或某物处于某种状态。

　　7．A　由语境可知，这里指“我”并不十分擅长游泳，故选A项。

　　8．D　前文提到“我”没有很早地学游泳，根据常理推测小孩子心中害怕水。

　　9．A　语意为：“我”喜欢在离父亲办公室很近的那个游泳池里游泳，与父亲一起度过夏日。

　　10．B　这里would表示“过去常常(做某事)”。should意为“应该”，had to“不得不”，ought to“应该”。

　　11．B　通常出现在游泳池里的人都穿着泳装，而“我”父亲则穿着西服，因此他是唯一(only)不穿泳装的人。

　　12．D　由下文“我”在父亲办公室里玩耍可知应选D项。游泳结束后，“我”总是到父亲的办公室里玩耍。

　　13．C　put up意为“张贴，搭建，为某人提供食宿”；break down“机器出故障，身体垮掉，感情失去控制，分解”；work out“计算出，想出”；play with“与……一起玩，玩弄”。由下文“...I shouldn't be playing with his...”可知此处应选C项。

　　14．C　the moment意为“一……就……”；the first time意为“第一次……”；while意为“在
