During the years of depression(蕭條), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.  

One day I was   36   some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily   37   a full basket of   38    green peas. Then I was  39   to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas   for just a marble (彈球).

Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby,    40   and told me that Mr Miller loved to  trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things  41   he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself,   42   by this man.

   Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬禮),  43   three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on,   44   their eyes.

Our 45   came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned 46   she had told me about the 47 . She told me,“Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me   48  they appreciated the things Jim‘traded’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”  

 “We’ve 49   had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she added, “but right now, Jim would consider himself to be the  50   man.”

Then she gently lifted the   51   fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.

At that time I realized that we would not be  52    by our words, but by our kind  53  . It is said that it takes a minute to find a    54   person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to  55   him.

解析:

36．A。作者去商店當(dāng)然是去買東西，buy sth. from…。

37．C。此處表示饑餓的孩子眼巴巴叮著….。stare at“凝視，注視”He stared at the word trying to remember what it meant. 他盯著這個(gè)單詞，努力想記起它的意思；glance at“瞥見，匆匆看一下，看一下”（常與down, up, over連用），如；She glanced along the road to see if he was coming. 她沿路掃視著，看他是否要來了。再如：He glanced at his watch and then looked at the sky. “他看了看手表,然后又看了看天空�！保籫lare at“對(duì)...怒目而視，瞪眼, 怒目而視(at, on, upon)”如：They stood -ring at each other.他們站著互相怒目而視。再如：The old gentleman just stood there glaring at the pickpocket and did not say a word. “這位老先生只是站在那里對(duì)那個(gè)扒手怒目而視,一句話也沒有說。”；watch“觀看”，及物動(dòng)詞，后面不加介詞。

38．B。freshly是副詞，在此修飾picked（形容詞）。單個(gè)副詞修飾形容詞應(yīng)放在形容詞的前面。本題 學(xué)生易誤選C,錯(cuò)把freshly當(dāng)成形容詞，未注意后面的中心名詞。

39．A�？吹組r. Miller居然讓這個(gè)孩子用一個(gè)彈球“換”換一袋．．．作者當(dāng)然感到震驚。Amaze“使驚奇；使吃驚” amaze強(qiáng)調(diào)“使驚異, 困惑”間或還有“驚嘆, 佩服”的意思, 是意義很強(qiáng)的詞, 如:  

We were amazed at the ingenuity with which they solved their difficulties. 他們?cè)诮鉀Q困難中所表現(xiàn)的智慧使我們驚嘆[佩服]。astonish表示“使人大吃一驚”、“幾乎無法使人相信”, 但沒有“驚嘆”的意思, 如: I was astonished at his rudeness. 他的粗野使 我大吃一驚。；annoy“使生氣, 使不高興, 使煩惱”；worry“使煩惱, 使焦慮, 使苦惱”

40．C。come over“走過來”；turn over“翻轉(zhuǎn)，反過來”。注意空前的逗號(hào)，逗號(hào)后應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞。本題 學(xué)生易誤選A。

41．D。此處是個(gè)讓步狀語從句。句意為“盡管他不是真的需要（什么）彈球….”，根據(jù)上下文不難看出答案。本題學(xué)生易誤選A。

42．B。作者通過這件事，很受感動(dòng)，所以印象深刻。be impressed by [at, with] 被深深打動(dòng)[感動(dòng)]；suspect“懷疑”；regret“遺憾，后悔”；embarrass“使困窘, 使局促不安”如：He was embarrassed by debts. 他因債務(wù)而局促不安。

43．D。注意空前的逗號(hào)，此處是作狀語。（=…and saw…）。本題 學(xué)生易誤選A，沒有注意到空前的逗號(hào)。

44．D。注意空前的逗號(hào)，此處表伴隨。wipe“擦, 揩, 擦去”， wipe (away) one’s tears擦掉眼淚；wipe one’s eyes with a handkerchief用手帕擦眼睛。其他不符合句意且形式也不對(duì)。

45．C。turn“時(shí)機(jī)；機(jī)會(huì)”強(qiáng)調(diào)順序。 如：It’s your turn to clean the blackboard.再如：You have missed your turn.你錯(cuò)過了機(jī)會(huì)。Chance“機(jī)會(huì), 可能性, 偶然性, 運(yùn)氣”；time“時(shí)間”；decision“決定”均不符合題意。本題學(xué)生易誤選B。

46．A。story“事情”；proverb“諺語”；legend“傳說”；joke“笑話”，根據(jù)語境，只有A合適。本題學(xué)生易誤選B。

47．A。根據(jù)上文。

48．B。他們告訴我他們上多么地感激….。根據(jù)語境B最合適。本題學(xué)生易誤選D。

49．C。49和50個(gè)空應(yīng)聯(lián)系起來看，不難看出答案。注意搭配和句意。本題學(xué)生易誤選A和D。沒有注意前后意思。

50．D。

51．A。lifeless“無生命的, 無生氣的”；regretless“無悔的, 不后悔的, 沒有遺憾的”。

52．C。此處是說“被人記住”之意。affect“影響, 感動(dòng)”，根據(jù)下文可以看出意思。人并不是因語言而被（別人）記住，別人記住你是因?yàn)槟愕膅ood deeds。本題學(xué)生易誤選B和D。

53．A。deed“行為，行動(dòng)”；thing“事情”；remark“評(píng)論，意見，話”如：rude remarks粗魯?shù)脑挘辉偃纾篴 theme of general remark議論紛紛的話題；make a few remarks說幾句話；作短評(píng)；We saw nothing worthy of remark我們看不到值得注意的東西。Reward“報(bào)酬, 獎(jiǎng)金”，不符合題意。本題 學(xué)生易誤選D。

54．C。special“特別的，特別親密的”，根據(jù)下文可以判斷出答案。其它選項(xiàng)不合句意。本題學(xué)生易誤選B。

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval.

    Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw(喬克托語). The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century.

But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s.    Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train. 

  The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840. They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York.

Then there is the expression A-OK. It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.”    One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.

There are also funny ways to say okay.    These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way. He says okely-doke.

A. Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke.

B. Still others say a political organization invented the word.

C. Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.

D. But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means.

E. Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F. It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.

G. However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart form other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which from different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.

Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule(時(shí)間表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar(日歷), but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of "sleeps" or longer periods in terms of "moons". Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration(遷徙) of certain animals.

Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of "telling time". For example, when several Australian aborigines(土著居民) want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.

In contrast(成對(duì)比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies. This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste),for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (復(fù)雜的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.

By saying "Humans are social animals",the author means________.

A. they live all over the world

B. they are different from other animals

C. they live in one place, district or country, considered as a whole

D. they are divided into many groups

Time is not very important in non-industrial societies, because peoplein those societies________.

A. don't have the word TIME in their languages

B. don't get used to using clocks and other timepieces

C. don't measure time in their daily lives around an exact time schedule

D. don't need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule

The Australian aborigines' way of"telling time" is based on________.

A. the change of the sun rays            B. the movement of the earth in relation to the sun

C. the position of the stone             D. the position of the tree or the cliff

Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?

A. Time and Culture                  B. The Measurment of Time

C. Time Schedule and Daily Life        D. Clock,Calendar and Society
