解析

试题分析:文章大意:Johnny因为无意中打死了奶奶的鸭子,被姐姐Sally看到,而姐姐没有告状,却处处支使弟弟替自己干活,终于有一天Johnny忍不住向奶奶承认了错误。没想到奶奶早就知道了……
小题1:B 动词辨析。下文提到He was given a slingshot(弹弓)to play with,说明小男孩不可能一直在农场上帮忙。A 帮忙 B看望,拜访 C照顾 D尊敬 句意:有个小男孩到农场上看望爷爷奶奶。根据句意所以选择B。
小题2:A 动词辨析。根据后句话but he could never hit the target“他从来没能射中目标”可知前面是说“他在树林里练习弹弓。A. 练习,训练; B玩;C工作; D打猎。根据句意选择A。
小题3:D 形容词辨析。因前一句说,“他从来没能射中目标”所以这时候他的心情是“感到有些泄气”A.和B都表示疲惫的;劳累的, C.高兴的 D.泄气的,根据句意选择D。
小题4:C 动词辨析。前句说到he let it fly, hit the duck in the head他让鸭子飞起来,打中了它的头部,所以后面就是说把鸭子给“打死”了。A.抓住 B.受伤 C.***死 D.打扰,根据推断选择C。
小题5:D 名词辨析。打死鸭子因为害怕,所以他把鸭子藏在了木头堆里。A.惊讶 B 失望 C生气D害怕,所以选择D。
小题6:A 动词辨析。 藏起来之后,结果发现姐姐Sally把整个过程都看见了。only to do 表示意想不到的结果。 A 观看,看见 B哭 C笑 D避免,所以选择A.
小题7:D 连词辨析。姐姐看到整个过程,正常思维会是去告状,结果姐姐并没有说什么,所以前后是转折关系。用but连接。
小题8:B 介词辨析。后面写到“Sally, let’s wash the dishes.”要去洗碗,那就得知应该是吃完饭后,所以用After。
小题9:C 原词再现。奶奶让姐姐洗碗,但姐姐这时故意说Johnny told me he wanted to 59 in the kitchen today, didn’t you Johnny? 她想让Johnny帮她洗碗,后文也有一句话Johnny told me he wanted to help所以用help。
小题10:B 形容词辨析。提醒Johnny别忘了鸭子的事,那这时应该是以很低的声音偷偷说给Johnny,所以用in a low voice。
小题11:A 考查上下文。爷爷去钓鱼,就问孩子们去不去。
小题12:D 考查上下文。奶奶说做饭需要人帮忙,从后文知道奶奶早就知道了Johnny把鸭子打死的事情,也知道Sally在故意刁难Johnny,所以这时奶奶故意说让Sally留下来帮忙做饭。
小题13:B 习语。根据后一句but Johnny told me he wanted to help。所以可推知Sally故意笑着说,“好吧”(That’s all right.)
小题14:C 原词再现。上文提到“Remember, the duck?”说明这时Johnny想起了鸭子的事,只能留下来不能去钓鱼了。
小题15:B 名词辨析。A作业 B家务活 C农活 D 做饭,从上文提到的两件事一个是洗碗另一个是做饭,这都属于家务活,所以用B。
小题16:A 动词辨析。Johnny天天都受姐姐的支使,几天之后就终于忍受(stand)不住了。B改变 C喜欢D 覆盖,根据句意所以选择A。
小题17:D 上下文联系。上文54个空就填了killed,这儿Johnny向奶奶承认了自己把鸭子射死的事实。
小题18:C 动词辨析。奶奶听了Johnny的告白后也表示自己当时就在窗前,所以也看到了整个过程。跟前文56个空处相照应。
小题19:B 动词辨析。奶奶为什么不揭穿Johnny是因为爱他,宽恕他。A想念 B原谅,宽恕 C庆祝 D惩罚,根据句意选择B。
小题20:A 动词辨析。但是奶奶又说“我只是想知道你想让Sally支使你多长时间”make a slave of sb “把某人当奴隶”A想知道 B说 C想象 D期望,根据句意选择A。

举一反三
It was a rather hot day. Everybody seemed to be looking for some kind of relief, so an ice cream store was a natural place to stop at.
A little girl, holding her money firmly, entered the store. Before she could say a word, the store clerk sharply told her to get outside and read the sign on the door, and stay out until she put on the shoes. She left slowly, and a big man followed her out of the store.
The man watched as she stood in front of the store and read the sign. “No Bare (赤裸) Feet”.
Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she turned and walked away. Just then the big man called to her. After sitting down on the roadside, he took off his size-12 shoes, set them in front of the girl and saying, “Here, you won’t be able to walk in these, but if you slide (拖) along, you can get your ice cream.”
Then he lifted the little girl up and set her feet into the shoes. “Take your time,” he said, “I get tired of moving them around, and it’s good to just sit here and eat my ice cream.”
The shining eyes of the little girl could not be missed as she ordered her ice cream.
He was a big man, all right. Big body, big shoes, but most of all, he had a big heart.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(孤僻) after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. "Please God, I can"t do anything more for my son. I"m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl"s absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son, but I just don"t know what to do. I"ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It"s out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I"d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That"s when I knew I had to make you proud."

小题3:There was silence on the other end of the line because _____.

C.the speaker didn"t want the mother to recognize his voice
D.the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother
小题4:Who was it that telephoned Karl"s mother that day?

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the       , we had to pack our belongings into boxes and    those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again standing at the pier (码头)      good-bye to my father as his ship pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and me around before the ship was out of     , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of    in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing     , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my    and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while    some type of part-time job. Leaving a       career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.    she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother,     , managed to make each house the very home that is safe and     .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,      with two small children:  “single”
parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to    her career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this    into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to    another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a    to rearrange furniture, make curtains and    pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a    attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so    all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn"t already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled,little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said,“Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I" m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”I laughed and enthusiastically responded,“Of course you may.”and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young,innocent age?”I asked. She jokingly replied,“I"m here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of children,and then retire and travel.”“No,seriously?”I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one. ”she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milk- shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year,Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium(讲台). As she began to deliver her prepared speech,she dropped her 3x5 cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said,“I"m sorry I"m so nervous. I gave up beer for Lent(一种威士忌的牌子)  and this whisky is killing me. I"ll never get my speech back in order to let me just tell you what I know.”
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began:“We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving success.” “You have to laugh and find humor every day.” You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don"t even know it.” “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don"t do one productive thing,you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn"t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.” “Have no regrets. The elderly usually don"t have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose.” She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year"s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it"s never too late to be all you can possibly be. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they’ll really enjoy it! These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
