原創(chuàng)（十）【原創(chuàng)精品】

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.

Answer 1

36---55    ACBAC   DBDDC   AABCD   ACACB  

解析:

36．A。作者去商店當然是去買東西，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�！�；glare at“對...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那個扒手怒目而視,一句話也沒有說�！�；watch“觀看”，及物動詞，后面不加介詞。

38．B。freshly是副詞，在此修飾picked（形容詞）。單個副詞修飾形容詞應放在形容詞的前面。本題 學生易誤選C,錯把freshly當成形容詞，未注意后面的中心名詞。

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

We were amazed at the ingenuity with which they solved their difficulties. 他們在解決困難中所表現(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，反過來”。注意空前的逗號，逗號后應用現(xiàn)在分詞。本題 學生易誤選A。

41．D。此處是個讓步狀語從句。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。本題學生易誤選A。

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

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

44．D。注意空前的逗號，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。

45．C。turn“時機；機會”強調順序。 如：It’s your turn to clean the blackboard.再如：You have missed your turn.你錯過了機會。Chance“機會, 可能性, 偶然性, 運氣”；time“時間”；decision“決定”均不符合題意。本題學生易誤選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。本題學生易誤選D。

49．C。49和50個空應聯(lián)系起來看，不難看出答案。注意搭配和句意。本題學生易誤選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”，根據(jù)下文可以看出意思。人并不是因語言而被（別人）記住，別人記住你是因為你的good deeds。本題學生易誤選B和D。

53．A。deed“行為，行動”；thing“事情”；remark“評論，意見，話”如：rude remarks粗魯?shù)脑�；再如：a theme of general remark議論紛紛的話題；make a few remarks說幾句話；作短評；We saw nothing worthy of remark我們看不到值得注意的東西。Reward“報酬, 獎金”，不符合題意。本題 學生易誤選D。

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

55．B。本句意思是層層遞進，根據(jù)前后意思，不難判斷。本題學生易誤選D。
