They were setting into the new place a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the earth. Joe was very , and told his sons about it.

They began to dig in one corner, and they got to the end of the field. At the same time, Joe thought he would some crops where the earth had been . The plants included corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. His sons continued to dig through the soil, made up their mind to find the gold. Since soil was being turned, Joe could plant more crops.

This went on for years, and Joe and his wife became quite from their little vegetable shop. They were even able to their sons to college.

Remember the beginning of the story, when Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe’s of the English language was less than perfect.

試題分析:這篇短文講述的是Joe來到了一個新的農場,他的鄰居告訴他,他的土地里有金子。于是Joe和他的三個兒子把土地都翻了一遍,同時還種了一些莊稼。到收獲的時候,他種的莊稼家人根本就吃不完。于是他開了一個蔬菜店,而且變得非常富有。其實鄰居是說他的地里的土壤非常肥沃。

1.詞及語境的理解。句意:當我在爺爺旁邊干活的時候,他經常給我講一個叫Joe的人的故事,他和他的妻子以及三個孩子搬到了一個新農場。fear 害怕;agree 同意;used to 過去常常做某事;fail 失敗。根據句意可知,這里是說過去作者和爺爺一起在地里干活的時候,爺爺經常給他講Joe一家人的故事。故選C。

2.詞及語境的理解。句意:他們一家剛剛搬到了這個新的地方,他附近的一個鄰居就告訴他,地里有黃金。while 當…時候,引導時間狀語從句;as 也可以引導時間狀語從句;when 在這里的意思是正在這時;after……之后。根據句意可知選C。

3.形容詞及語境的理解。句意:Joe非常高興,告訴他的兒子們地里有黃金。happy 高興的,開心的;disappointed 失望的;angry 生氣的;calm平靜的。根據上文可知,Joe的鄰居告訴他地里有黃金,所以他應該是非常的高興。故選A。

4.詞及語境的理解。句意:Joe和他的兒子們就開始挖地,同時,Joe還在翻動了的土地上種一些莊稼。harvest 收獲,收成;plant 種植;water 水,澆水;feed 喂養(yǎng)。根據文意可知,Joe和他的兒子開始挖地來找金子,同時,在挖開的地里種植莊稼。故選B。

5.詞及語境的理解。句意:Joe和他的兒子們就開始挖地,同時,Joe還在翻動了的土地上種一些莊稼。control 控制;burn 燃燒;destroy 毀壞;turn 翻動。根據文意可知,Joe要挖地來尋找金子,所以土地是被翻動了,下文21空后面的turned 也可印證這個答案。故選D。

6.形容詞及語境的理解。句意:土壤被翻動的越多,Joe就可以種植更多的莊稼。more 更多的;most 最多的;much 多的;few少的。根據句意可知,Joe翻動的土地越多,他就能中更多的莊稼。故選A。

7.詞及語境的理解。句意:Joe以前從沒種過地,但這一直是他的夢想。job 工作;problem 問題;pity 遺憾;dream 夢想。根據句意可知,Joe沒有種過地,所以這不是他的工作;這里也不能說是他的問題或遺憾。故選D,這是他的夢想。

8.詞及語境的理解。句意:不同的莊稼就要收割了,Joe開始意識到他種植的蔬菜是他的家人都吃不完的。realize 意識到;promise 承諾,答應;review 復習;reply回答,回復。根據句意可知,當收獲的時候,Joe發(fā)現他種植的莊稼很多,他們家人根本就吃不完,所以是意識到了這個事情。故選A。

9.詞及語境的理解。句意:不同的莊稼就要收割了,Joe開始意識到他種植的蔬菜是他的家人都吃不完的。feed 喂養(yǎng);sell 賣;plant 種植;eat 吃。根據文意可知,Joe在種植莊稼的時候,還沒有想到要把他們賣掉,只是自己家人吃。但收獲的時候他發(fā)現這些蔬菜是家人吃不完的。故選D。

10.詞及語境的理解。句意:Joe的一個鄰居建議他建立一個蔬菜商店。take up 占;set up 建立;turn up 出現,把聲音開大;make up 編造。根據句意可知,吃不完的蔬菜可以賣掉,所以是開一個商店,即建立。故選B。

11.詞及語境的理解。句意:Joe甚至還不得不把一些蔬菜留在地里,因為他的蔬菜很多,足夠供應蔬菜店的。now 現在,是一個副詞,不能引導從句;though 雖然,盡管;so 因此;because因為。根據句意可知這里表示原因。故選D。

12.形容詞及語境的理解。句意:這樣下去幾年后,Joe和他的妻子因為這個蔬菜店變得非常的富有。careful 仔細的,小心的;rich 富有的;alone 一個人,獨自;cheerful歡呼的。根據文意可知,因為有了這個蔬菜店,Joe的生活發(fā)生了變化,變得很富有。故選B。

13.詞及語境的理解。句意:他們甚至能把自己的孩子送到大學。bring 帶來;take 拿走;send 送;make 制作。根據句意可知,Joe因為蔬菜店變得富有,可以把孩子送到大學讀書。故選C。

14.詞及語境的理解。句意:事實是,Joe對英語的理解還不夠完美。understanding理解; knowledge 知識;thinking 思考;skills技能。根據下文的解釋可知,故事的開頭Joe的鄰居告訴他,地里有金子,其實是Joe理解錯了這句話,他的鄰居的意思是這里的土壤非常的肥沃。rich有富有的意思,還可指土壤肥沃的,是Joe理解錯了。故選A。

15.詞及語境的理解。句意:他的新鄰居事實上是說Joe的土地里的土壤非常的肥沃。mud 泥;gold 金子;soil 土壤;material 材料。根據文意可知,這里故事的開頭Joe的鄰居告訴他,地里有金子,其實是Joe理解錯了這句話,他的鄰居的意思是這里的土壤非常的肥沃。故選C。

考點:人生百味類短文。

I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected(拒絕) so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive(董事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call—Waner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I release(發(fā)行) my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

1.Why was the writer once known as the singing cook?

A. Because he was a cook at a country –music club.

B. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.

C. Because he often sang while cooking.

D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.

C. His father D. A business woman

3.What made the writer proud of himself?

A. His ability to live independently.

B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.
