I drove a school bus as a part-time job. Thirty-nine children all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie though __16__me. From the first day on Charlie was __17__. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my __18__to know who had started it. If a girl was crying chances were that Charlie had __19__ her hair. No matter how I spoke to him gently or __20__ he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just __21__ me with those big gray eyes of his. One day I found a small tin heart (小錫心 )on the bus was gone. “Does anyone know __22__happened to the little heart here” I asked. Some children cried “Charlie __23__it Search him” When I asked him to come forward his gaze( 注視) __24__ my eyes. I stuck my hand into one of his pockets. Then I felt it—the __25__ outline(輪廓 )of the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no __26__ in those big gray eyes no plea( 懇求) for mercy. He seemed to be waiting for what he’d come to __27__ from the world. I was about to pull the tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket __28__I stopped myself. Let him keep it, I said “It must have fallen off before I got here.” Without a word Charlie __29__ to his seat. When he got off at his stop, he didn’t so much as glance at me. Several days later just that__30__ Charlie moved away… A dozen years after retirement we met in the street. To my __31__, he hugged me. After he let go, he pulled something from his pocket and held it up for me to see. An old key chain… bent out of __32__, the lettering faded (消褪). You __33__probably guess what it was—the little tin heart. “You were the only one who kept trying.” He explained. We __34__ again and went our separate ways. I am so __35__ I’d done a good job.

試題分析:

1.A. 39個孩子都有暑假故事和我分享。而查理卻對我視而不見。ignore忽視,忽略;fear害怕;greet問候;tell告訴。

2..B 聯(lián)系下文可知答案。從第一天起,查理就是一個惹麻煩的家伙。active活躍的;troublesome討厭的,令人煩惱的;independent獨(dú)立的;noisy吵鬧的。

3.C 如果有人打架,我不用回頭就知道是誰挑起的。turn one's head轉(zhuǎn)頭。

4.A 要是有女孩子哭了,很可能是因為查理扯了她的頭發(fā)。pull拉,扯;cut剪;steal偷;play玩耍。

5.D 不管我怎樣跟他說話,溫和也好,嚴(yán)厲也罷,他就是一言不發(fā)。secretly秘密地;carefully細(xì)心地;proudly驕傲地;strictly嚴(yán)格地。

6.B 從本句的those big gray eyes of his可知答案。他就是一言不發(fā),只是用他那雙灰色的大眼睛盯著我。laugh at嘲笑;stare at盯著;depend on依靠;concentrate on集中注意力于……。

7.C 有誰知道“小錫心”哪兒去了嗎?happen“發(fā)生”。

8.A “是查理干的!搜他的身!”do it做這件事。

9.B 我讓查理走上前來,他那凝視的目光深深地印在我的眼中。turn into變成;burn into烙上,使深印于;step into走進(jìn);fly into飛進(jìn)。

13.B 就在我要把“小錫心”從查理的口袋里拿出來的時候,我停住了。讓他留著吧。be about to do sth. when...“正準(zhǔn)備做某事,這時……”。

14.D 由上文可知他們在車上,再聯(lián)系上一段When I asked him to come forward可知答案。查理一言不發(fā)地回到了他的座位上。come來到;want想要;intend打算;return返回。

15.A 聯(lián)系上文第二段“Thirty­nine children all had stories to tell me about their summers.”可知,應(yīng)用summer。就在那年夏天,查理搬走了……

16.C 讓我吃驚的是,他擁抱了我。delight高興;sadness悲傷;surprise吃驚;annoyance惱怒。查理一直都是個叛逆的孩子,很排斥我,這次見面能主動擁抱我,給我更多的是“吃驚”,而不是“高興”。

17.A 放開我后,他從口袋里拿出了一樣?xùn)|西,舉起來讓我看。那是一個很舊的鑰匙鏈……已經(jīng)彎曲變形,上邊的字也模糊褪色了。out of shape變形的,走樣的;lettering字,字母。

20.A 我很高興自己做了這樣一件好事。happy高興的;sure確信的;lucky幸運(yùn)的;shocked吃驚的。

考點:考查故事類短文閱讀

點評::叛逆的孩子往往不討人喜歡,然而大人可能沒有意識到,內(nèi)心最脆弱、最缺乏愛和溫情滋潤的正是這樣的孩子。對他們多一點耐心,多付出一點關(guān)愛,也許,他們的一生會因你而改變……

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark exvept for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated. ”

“Oh, you’re such a good man.”  She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “ Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“ Oh, I’m in no hurry.” She said, “I’m on my way to a hospice (臨終醫(yī)院)。 I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(計價器)

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At down, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I owe you?” She asked.

“Nothing.” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment joy.”

The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to           .

   A. Show she was familiar with the city

   B. reach the destination on time

   C. let the driver earn more money

   D. see some places for the last time.

The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he             

   A. wanted to do her a favor

   B. shut off the meter by mistake

   C. had received her payment in advance

   D. was in a hurry to take other passenhers

What can we learn from the story?

   A. Giving is always a pleasure

   B. People should respect each other

   C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.

   D. People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

Many years ago I drove a taxi for extra money mainly from the downtown to the 36 , beside the Greenwood Racetrack..
Each time a taxi drove up to the station, many kids would run along the   37  . One   38   kid would open the passenger door and say, “  39  , sir.” The passenger would always say thanks and give the kid a   40  . It was a routine that everybody knew.
One day I noticed a boy, who was   41   than most of them but was pushed away by even the smallest kid. He never pushed back.   42  , he would even step aside when others pushed forward. But he never   43  .
Then as I was   44   to the sidewalk, all the other kids were running after a taxi   45  mine. They didn’t notice mine.
The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I pulled up I made sure that I stopped in a 46  with the passenger door right beside him. He   47  the passenger door and said, “Good luck at the track, sir.”
  48 , the man did not tip him a quarter. Instead he   49 , “Get out of my way!” He pushed him aside so   50  that the boy fell down and was badly hurt. I got out of my car quickly,   51  find that the man disappeared in the crowd.
So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for all his   52 . But he was far up ahead, walking out of the station   53 .   54 , I never saw him again. I’d like to find him and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
I learned an important lesson from the boy. When things seem so   55  that you are ready to give up, that is the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.
