Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12 years old, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed        to him.

His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not       to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. One of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to        , she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. It was the first time that he had heard such kind words. He watched her      she went far away, and then he whistled(低語)to his dog and went directly to the river     .

“Thanks, dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated what the woman said. Then in a low    he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog.” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.

“Hmm! Even a dog likes it!”he said. “Well, Tige, I won’t say anything unkind to you   .” Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw      but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he saw a       nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he started a new life.

After telling this, the businessman said, “This is the very place in which that kind woman planted the first seed of kindness in my heart.” What a great      it has!

試題分析:本文是一個成功的商人講述了童年時對他有著巨大啟發(fā)和鼓舞的一次經(jīng)歷。他的父母早亡,自己不善交際,得不到周圍人的關(guān)愛,又一次他幫一個女士撿包的舉動卻得到了女士的感謝,以及狗也喜歡聽好話,使他重新認(rèn)識了自己,善待別人,贏得尊重。

1.考查名詞及語境的理解。根據(jù)本段He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him.內(nèi)容可推知作者得不到周圍人的關(guān)愛(kindness),故選A。

2.考查形容詞及語境的理解。由but可知前后應(yīng)該為轉(zhuǎn)折的語義關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)該是一方面給狗足夠的吃的喝的,一方面有時又對狗不夠友好;故選D。

3.考查動詞及語境的理解。當(dāng)包掉到地上后自然是停下來去撿起來,即pick sth up,而find意為“找到,發(fā)現(xiàn)”,look up意為“查找”,give up意為“放棄”;故選B。

4.考查連詞及語境的理解。這個女士對他感激的話使他很意外,所以他看著那個女士直到她走遠(yuǎn);after意為“在…之后”,since意為“自從…以來”,because意為“因?yàn)椋捎凇;故選A。

5.考查副詞及語境的理解。在女士離開后男孩和狗說話并且去了附近的河邊;near為介詞,在…附近,nearly,副詞,幾乎,差不多,nearby,形容詞,附近的,多放在所修飾的名詞之后;故選B。

6.考查名詞及語境的理解。本句是說男孩低聲跟狗說話。sound作“聲音”,“響聲”講時,可以指人或動物發(fā)出的聲音,或物體碰撞的聲言;noise意為“噪音”、“喧鬧聲”,常指不悅耳、不和諧的嘈雜聲;voice一般指人的聲音,說話、唱歌、談笑都可用voice;故選C。

7.考查副詞及語境的理解。即使狗都喜歡聽好話,所以以后他再也不對夠說難聽的話了。本句考查不再做某事的表達(dá),即not…any longer/more;故選D。

8.考查代詞及語境的理解。通過河水的映射他看到的只是一個臟兮兮的小男孩。nothing but除……外;什么也沒有;只有;anything but 絕不,根本不;故選B。

9.考查形容詞及語境的理解。男孩洗完臉后臉自然就變得干凈了;而不可能是臟的,微笑的,或者生氣的;故選A。

10.考查名詞及語境的理解。作者的感慨是“這就是那個女士在他的心中種下第一顆善良的種子的地方”,所以他說:“它的力量是多么的神奇呀”;故選D。

考點(diǎn):故事類短文。

When this story happened, they were working around a very large house. Their job was to do the cleaning. It was not a difficult job, but sometimes it was a little dangerous, because they had to walk below where workmen were working. Often these workmen dropped something from the top of the house many meters high to the ground.

One morning Joe was working near the house with a cigarette behind one of his ears. Suddenly somebody on the top shouted, "Look out!" But Joe did not "look out". He looked up. And as he did so, a long knife missed Joe's head, but it cut off one of his ears. At once he put his hand to one side of his head and cried out, "I've lost an ear. Help! Help!"

Jeff ran up to help his friend. "Look for my ear," Joe told him. "It must be on the ground somewhere." Jeff looked everywhere for the missing ear. At last he found an ear on the ground. He picked it up and carried it to Joe. "Here you are," he said, "I've found it." Joe looked at it. "No, that's not my ear." he said, "Mine had a cigarette behind it."
