答案
解析
解析 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者介绍了他第一次工作的经历给他以后的生活和工作带来了很大的影响。这里表示作者的父亲在一个商场“租”(rent)了个地方，这从第二段出现的“...gave Dad a 3 on his rent...”可知答案为C项。其他几个选项不符合文意。
2. 答案 C
解析 从下文中的“Mr.Ben’s Coiffure”可知这是理发店的名字，而不是标志或招牌，所以A、 B、D不对。
3. 答案 A
3. 解析 从后面清理停车场可知，商场的主人应是为作者父亲的这一做法给他应付的租金“打折”，而不应是惩罚，所以D项不对；B、C含义
不对。
4. 答案 D解析 从下文中的“...which meant getting up at 3 am.”和最后一段的“...I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot.”可判断出答案。
5. 答案 C
解析 根据宾语rubbish及下文的“...picked up litter by hand.”可知答案。其他选项与文意不符。
6. 答案 A

7.答案 D
解析 这里用的是It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.这一固定句型。
8. 答案 D
解析 从上文“...getting up at 3 am.”可知他们是夜间干活，所以干完活后作者应该是感到困，所以是在车里睡觉。短文中没有提到作者干活不高兴的事，所以A、C不对；B项不合文意。
9.答案 B
解析 根据“I did this for two years...”和“...I learned there have lasted a
lifetime.”可判断用连词but。
10. 答案 A
解析 这里表示作者获得了强烈的职业道德，而不是喜欢或者想要。acquire获得。
11. 答案 B
解析 这里表示作者在小时候通过做这些活儿，了解到了平衡生活中各种利益的重要性，所以B项正确。

解析 句意为：这种经历在我高中毕业那年对我起了帮助作用。work奏效，有效果。
13. 答案 B
解析 由上文的“...during my senior year of high school...”可知用when。
14.答案 C
解析 由下文的“...a full load of college- prep courses.”可知用take,take...course意
为“参加……课程的学习”。
15. 答案 A
解析 根据下文内容可知：努力的工作得到了回报。pay off得到回报；take off起飞；脱下；lay off下岗；kick off开球。
16. 答案 D
解析 句意为：得到学位。accept指主观接受, 而receive指客观上收到、得到。
17. 答案 B
解析 根据后文的“...a big Los Angeles law firm...”和上文的“...graduate degrees in
law and business from Harvard.”可知答案为B项。
18. 答案 B
解析 该空之前提到的都是作者所从事过的工作，所以B项正确。
19. 答案 C
解析 根据上文的“...I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot.”这是作者
的一种经历，所以选C项。

核心考点
试题【I got my first real job when I was ten.My dad,Benjamin,injured his back when wor】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours — and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen .
The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”
Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (***扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again.
56．In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to .
A．businessmen B．political leaders
C．organisers of the activities D．Santa Clauses
57．The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is .
A．well-paid B．very hard C．worth doing D．dangerous
58．According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for .
A．doing something against the law B．hanging around the dinner table
C．being lazy and sleeping in bed for days D．not playing their roles as expected
59．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas
B．Is Santa Claus Really Alive?
C．A Christmas Story
D．What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?
My parents were in a huge argument, and 1 was really upset about it. I didn"t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend"s house. Though I knew I wouldn"t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to gelling out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I"d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, "Great opportunity."
"What is?" I asked.
"To talk, you and I" he said. "To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we"re going to do with ourselves now that we"re in the situation we are in."
"But we can"t do anything about it. Grandpa," I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same "boat" as I was.
And that"s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting Acre in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don"t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be — suddenly, the lights all came hack on. "Well," he said, "I guess that means you"ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!"
56.1 wished to get out of the house because ____
A. I was angry about my parents’ quarrel B. I found nobody to share my feelings with
C. I wanted to escape from the dark house D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble
57. Grandpa was happy to see me because _____.
A. he could discuss the problem with me B. he had not seen me for a long lime
C. he was afraid of darkness D. he felt quite lonely
58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The grandchild was eager to leave. B. They would have more chats.
C. The lights would go out again. D. It would no longer be dark.
Of course,a small family has its advantages.Firstly,the small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their child.Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several.The child could grow up in an influential environment.Secondly,the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
However,___________ .The only child becomes the little emperor.It would make the only child ask more for himself and think less of others.
Besides,after the child grows up and gets married,the new couple has to take care of four old parents.That means the two children must work hard to support the four old parents.At present,many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society.China will face this situation in a short time to come.
On the contrary,a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects.Firstly,parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one.Moreover,the old brothers or sisters could also help their parents bring up little children.Secondly,if one of the children turns out to be successful,it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children,it is not so difficult as people think it to be.With the help of good educational system and modern technology,it is becoming easier to afford several children.
