题型:不详难度:来源:
“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “Now see that it’s done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you’ll have to answer for it!”
So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped so much not to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.
Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small --- nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don’t know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating were completely foreign to our nature.

A.the author’s hands were severely injured in the cleaning up |
B.the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning up |
C.the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning up |

解析
试题分析:本文为记叙文,文中作者回忆了早年读书期间,暑假返校清除落叶的一段经历。给作者留下了深刻的印象。
小题1:句意猜测题。根据作者一开始用了两个remember表明他对暑假返校要清除落叶一事记忆深刻。第二段提到自己在为学校清除落叶时没有别的工具,唯一的工具就是手,由此可推断“手和指尖都记得”是因为在大扫除中,作者的手作为唯一的清洁工具受了不少的罪。故选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句,特别是其中的see,表明校长让大孩子们做大扫除的“监工”,负责带领其他孩子们把学校打扫干净。这也可以从该段最后一句的“or you’ll answer for it!”(否则你们就要为此负责)可以看出答案。故选C。
小题3:细节理解题。根据第三段第四句中的the coins changed hands at once可理解为“钱马上就会易主”,即到了大孩子们的口袋里。故选A。
小题4:细节理解题。根据题干中的complaints可定位到最后一段开头两句。该段第二句表明校长对大孩子的惩罚很轻微,因此本题应选A项。
点评:句意猜测该题型主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力,突出考查根据上下文语境的分析和把握能力。考查内容主要有猜测某个生词、熟词生义、短语或句子的意思以及猜测代词的指代等。

举一反三
With growing 38 I noticed that their sizes of each family member closely 39 ours. This would be a good opportunity to 40 my children, so I explained their difficult 41 to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.
“We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll 42 what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously 43 the boys and I filled one box with canned food.
While I 44__ our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 45 some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched 46 as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
The boys placed the toys they had 47 to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll 48 tightly to her chest. She 49 in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a 50 kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You 51 to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. 52 she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
I stared at Meghan for a long moment, 53 how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but 54 to let go of things we cherish, isn’t it? 55 , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.

I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.
There he is. I stand on tiptoe(脚尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.
It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and what I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.
I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. I know, how can prison be anyone’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, though—home will be.
小题1:The author goes to the prison_________.
A.to talk with the officer | B.to visit her father |
C.to get a piece of paper from the officer | D.to pay a visit to her favorite place |
A.working there for a long time | B.just in prison for a short while |
C.still healthy and strong in prison | D.seldom keeping in touch with people outside |
A.Her behavior in school. | B.Simple things in everyday life. |
C.Difficulty and trouble in her life. | D.The feeling of expecting him home. |
A.The author’s father will never go home. | B.The author meets her father once a week. |
C.The author’s favorite place will change. | D.The author hates her father. |

He stood on tiptoe(脚尖), ___29 as high as he could , but even at his tallest 30___ he was unable to touch it. He began to 31 up and down, as high as he could, at the 32 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of 33 .
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 34 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 35 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking 36 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, 37 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. 38 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 39 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 40 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 41 like this, the more unhappy he became.
42 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “This isn’t 43 . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s 44 more I can do to get the apple—that is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to 45 our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

This seemed like a very 17 process, but there"s always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 18 that we find ways to 19 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 20 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 21 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 22 on him.”
“After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 23 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 24 found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 25 on my list. I didn"t even know if he was still 26 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 27 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused “Yes”. “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 28 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me … for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 29 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It"s never too late to 30 the past wrongdoings.
