36—40：CACBC 41—45：ADBBA 46—50：DBDAC 51—55：ACDBD
36．解析：delighted意為“高興的’，常說明人或與人密切相關的事。作狀語，表示某人做某事時的心情。根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可以看出，作者對他媽媽說他感到無聊，他媽媽把汽車的鑰匙給他，讓他開車去買一些水果，這是一件令人高興的事，所以作者感到非常高興。encouraged意為“受到鼓舞”。disappointed意為“感到失望”。confused意為“感到混亂的”。都與作者當時的心情不相符合。
37．解析：car意為“汽車”，根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可判斷出男孩看到的是作者的汽車，再從下文的sprang up可判斷出作者開車來到了商店。mother意為“媽媽”。driver意為“駕駛員”。key意為“鑰匙”。這都不是男孩當時看到的內(nèi)容。
38．解析：eager意為“渴望，極想，熱衷于”，多指對成功的期望或進取的熱情，帶有更多熱切興奮的情緒，但不含有焦慮擔心的意味。從男孩看到汽車后的反應sprang up可判斷出他熱切的想把水果賣給作者。willing意為“情愿的”，強調(diào)不僅自愿，而且還高高興興，表現(xiàn)出很大熱情。afraid意為“害怕的”，表示做某事時表示出的恐懼感。ashamed常作表語，意思是“羞恥，慚愧，害臊”，這與所提供的情景sprang up矛盾。
39．解析：bargain意為“討價還價”，指在買東西時與店主講價錢，力爭把價格降到最低點。down與bargain連用表示經(jīng)討價還價把價格降到了某一點。根據(jù)下文中的to 200 total for the fruit and nuts可判斷出作者經(jīng)過討價還價，把價格降到200奈拉。get down意為“落下，降下；下車；寫下；放下，咽下；使沮喪，使抑郁；開始認真對待，開始認真考慮”。put down意為“記下”。take down意為“拿下，扯下，降下，卸下；卷起；記下；卸下；拆，拆毀(房子)，拆散(頭發(fā))，分開；挫其驕氣；吞下去，咽下去”。
40．解析：agree意為“同意”，表示同意做某事。根據(jù)下文中I handed him a 500 naira [奈拉（尼日利亞貨幣名）]note.可判斷出男孩同意以200奈拉出售自己的水果。explain意為“解釋”，指解釋不了解的事情，說明某事的形狀或結(jié)構(gòu)，追溯它的起源和沿革，講述它的性能或功用，指出它的原理或述說它的各部分之間的關系。promise意為“允諾，答應”，指許下諾言將做某事。admit意為“承認”，常指由于客觀因素所迫，不得不承認某一已經(jīng)證實的或難以否認的事實，有時也可指在爭論中姑且讓步，含有不情愿的意味。
41．解析：change意為“零錢”，根據(jù)下文中的so I told him not to worry可判斷出男孩沒有零錢。買水果只需要200奈拉，而作者給了他一張500奈拉的票子，所以需要找零錢。note意為“紙幣”，買水果的人沒有紙幣的可能性是沒有的。check意為“支票”，買水果是小本生意，不會使用支票作為付賬方式。bill意為“賬單”。
42．解析：grateful意為“感恩的，感謝的”，指對他人的幫助或恩惠內(nèi)心充滿感激，含有持續(xù)性。由于經(jīng)討價還價講好以200奈拉的價格出售水果，而顧客給了500奈拉，男孩自然會感激萬分。troubled意為“為難的，不安的，困惑的；騷亂的，不寧的”，指因某事引起心煩意亂，忐忑不安的心情。regretful意為“悔恨的，后悔的，惋惜的，有遺憾的，抱歉的”，表示對自己所做的事感到悔恨。comfortable意為“愉快的，安樂的，舒適的；令人感到安慰的”。都沒有正確表達出男孩當時的心情。
43．解析：run into意為“遇到”，強調(diào)其偶然性，表示并不是故意遇到某人。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可判斷出兩天后作者又遇到了同一個男孩。run after意為“追趕”。run over意為“溢出；泛出；(人)走近 (to)；略一過目，匆匆忙忙看一遍；想想看；概括地講；匆匆排練，急奏(樂譜)；(車輛等)輾過(人)”。run to意為“跑向”。
44．解析：enjoy意為“喜歡”，指因某物或某事而在感官或精神上得到樂趣或滿足，側(cè)重于享受感官或心智上的滿足或樂趣。protect意為“保護，包庇，守護”。根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容可判斷出作者不是這個國家的保衛(wèi)者。help意為“幫助”，指幫助某人或某個國家，根據(jù)第一段中的I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after college graduation. I had been there before my mother became a minister.可判斷出作者只不過是部長的兒子，因此不存在幫助這個國家的問題。support意為“支持”。也與上文的內(nèi)容不相符合。
45．解析：minister意為“部長；閣員，大臣”，根據(jù)上文中的I had been there before my mother became a minister.可判斷出作者是一位部長的兒子。headmaster意為“校長”。manager意為“經(jīng)理”。president意為“總統(tǒng)”。都與上文的內(nèi)容不相符合。
46．解析：common意為“普通的，通常的，尋常的，平常的”，指因許多人或物共同具備而常見，不足為奇。表示看見一個本來應該上學的孩子買水果是一件非常平常的事。lucky意為“運氣好的，僥幸的”，指未經(jīng)努力，完全出于好運、偶然的原因或因素而獲得意外的成功或免于受到傷害。amazing意為“令人驚異的”。funny意為“有趣的，好笑的，滑稽的”。
47．解析：broken用于修飾語言時，意為“拙劣的，不合標準”，指斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地，很不規(guī)范地說某種語言。從下文中的I … I no get money to buy book.可判斷出男孩的英語說得既斷斷續(xù)續(xù)又不符合英語語法的規(guī)定。old意為“古老的”，old English指很久以前人們說的英語，與modern English相比較。traditional意為“傳統(tǒng)的，慣例的”。modern意為“現(xiàn)代的”，modern English指現(xiàn)在人們說的英語。
48．解析：nervously意為“緊張地”，著重指精神上不安或激動，可能因性格或所處環(huán)境引起，常表現(xiàn)于行為。根據(jù)上文中的內(nèi)容可判斷出男孩在接錢之前緊張地向四面看了看。因為1,000奈拉對他來說是一筆巨款。proudly意為“驕傲的”。madly意為“瘋狂地，瘋狂似地”。curiously意為“好奇地”。
49．解析：for意為“為了”，表示做某事的目的。for the bills為拿到錢幣而把手伸進汽車里。with意為“和……一起，和……一塊兒，和……同時”。at意為“向，對”，表示動作的目標。upon意為“在……之上”。
50．解析：make后接表示“錢”的名詞表示“掙，賺”。從上文中男孩緊張的接過錢幣可判斷出尼日利亞一個家庭一年才能掙50,000奈拉。spend意為“花費”。pay意為“付(款)，支付；付(代價)，發(fā)(薪水)”。afford意為“花費得起”。
51．解析：possibly意為“可能地；也許”，指在能辦到或達到的范圍之內(nèi)的可能，也指客觀、潛在的可能，可能性小于maybe和probably，暗示實際希望不大，但仍有機會。表示上面所說的話可能是對的。actually意為“實際上”。certainly意為“的確，無疑，一定，必定”，表示非常肯定。fortunately意為“幸運地”。
52．解析：book意為“書”，根據(jù)上文中的I … I no get money to buy book.可判斷出作者給男孩錢的目的是想讓他買書，所以他聽了這些話后想知道男孩是否真的把錢花在買書上。joy意為“快樂，高興”。nut意為“堅果”，指核桃、榛、栗等的果實。banana意為“香蕉”。都不符合上文的內(nèi)容。
53．解析：realize意為“領悟，了解，體會”，指作者意識到男孩究竟想要什么。ask意為“問”。imagine意為“想像，設想；猜想，推測”，指沒有事實根據(jù)、僅憑主觀想像進行猜想，往往與眾所周知的事實相反。remind意為“提醒；使記起”，常指某人或某物使人想起或回憶起可能已經(jīng)淡忘的情況，也可指以某物或某種方式提醒某人不至于忘記某事。
54．解析：as if意為“好像，似乎”，句子省略了he was。表示當作者把500奈拉遞給男孩時， 他似乎受到了傷害。when意為“當……的時候”。even if意為“盡管”。after意為“在……之后”。
55．解析：give意為“給”，指把東西親手當面交給某人。男孩一直等在那兒的目的是把水果給作者。send意為“送”，send多指寄送或通過其他手段送，自己并不一定去送，這與短文提供的情景不相符合。provide意為“提供，供應某物”。sell意為“賣”。

The small unframed painting called “Fisherman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession.
Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I couldn’t see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame. ”
“It’s a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silvery sea-shells. They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.”
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then. ”
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one, so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy. “I told the truth as I knew it then,” he said, “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is to be responsible,” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty”.
1.When Oliver Pitt bought the picture, ________.
A. it was unframed B. Maveleone signed the deal
C. he suggested that it was valuable D. it was the frame that attracted him
2. From the passage we can infer that if Maveleone had been a well-known artist, _.
A. the painting would have cost much more than $ 140
B. he wouldn’t have sold his painting
C. the customs officer wouldn’t have been cheated
D. Pitt wouldn’t have had the intention to buy any of his paintings
3. Pitt took off the frame probably in order to _.
A. clean the painting to put it up for sale
B. look for the artist’s signature
C. use it for his wife’s photograph
D. find the painting’s true value
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A. In the end Pitt was asked to pay the correct amount of duty.
B. In the end Pitt sold the frame of the painting at an even higher price.
C. In the end the Customs Department had no right to revalue the painting.
D. In the end Pitt’s wife was regarded as an expert because of her wise suggestion.
