题目内容

When I was young, I always helped my grandfather in the fields. As I worked beside him, he        to tell a story about a man named Joe, and his wife, who moved to a new farm with their three sons. 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. Joe had never farmed before, but it had always been his       .
As different crops came ready to be harvested, Joe started to        that there were more vegetables than he and his family could ever       . One of Joe’s neighbors suggested that he        a vegetable shop. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetable. Joe even had to leave some crops in the fields,        he had more than enough to supply the vegetable shop.
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. His new neighbor friend actually meant that his land had rich       . So you can see where the concept(概念)of gold comes from.

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Joe来到了一个新的农场,他的邻居告诉他,他的土地里有金子。于是Joe和他的三个儿子把土地都翻了一遍,同时还种了一些庄稼。到收获的时候,他种的庄稼家人根本就吃不完。于是他开了一个蔬菜店,而且变得非常富有。其实邻居是说他的地里的土壤非常肥沃。
小题1:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:当我在爷爷旁边干活的时候,他经常给我讲一个叫Joe的人的故事,他和他的妻子以及三个孩子搬到了一个新农场。fear 害怕;agree 同意;used to 过去常常做某事;fail 失败。根据句意可知,这里是说过去作者和爷爷一起在地里干活的时候,爷爷经常给他讲Joe一家人的故事。故选C。

小题3:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:Joe非常高兴,告诉他的儿子们地里有黄金。happy 高兴的,开心的;disappointed 失望的;angry 生气的;calm平静的。根据上文可知,Joe的邻居告诉他地里有黄金,所以他应该是非常的高兴。故选A。

小题5:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:Joe和他的儿子们就开始挖地,同时,Joe还在翻动了的土地上种一些庄稼。control 控制;burn 燃烧;destroy 毁坏;turn 翻动。根据文意可知,Joe要挖地来寻找金子,所以土地是被翻动了,下文21空后面的turned 也可印证这个答案。故选D。
小题6:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:土壤被翻动的越多,Joe就可以种植更多的庄稼。more 更多的;most 最多的;much 多的;few少的。根据句意可知,Joe翻动的土地越多,他就能中更多的庄稼。故选A。
小题7:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:Joe以前从没种过地,但这一直是他的梦想。job 工作;problem 问题;pity 遗憾;dream 梦想。根据句意可知,Joe没有种过地,所以这不是他的工作;这里也不能说是他的问题或遗憾。故选D,这是他的梦想。

Once there lived two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger was Victor. They always           each other. Every day they worked from morning          night, getting as much grain谷物 as possible from their fields.
One late autumn evening, after their work was done, Simon said to his wife, "Victor got married last month. He has many bills to      . I think I will put a bag of rice in his barn谷仓." "Oh, that's a good idea," said his wife. "But please don't tell him," said Simon, "If he knows I put the rice there, he will         take it.”
So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor's barn. The next day, while looking at his own barn, he was surprised. "I took a bag of rice to Victor's house last night,      I still have
the same number of bags in my barn.        did that happen?"
Simon decided to take        bag of rice to his brother's barn that night. But the next morning, he found the same number of bags in his barn again! "This is very strange," he thought.
That night he tried again. He carried a large bag of rice on his shoulder, and went out to his younger brother's house. In the bright moonlight, he could see someone         down the road. He was carrying something on his shoulder as well.
"Younger Brother!" Simon cried when he came near the man , "What are you doing?"

They laughed about what had happened. "It is good to have a brother like you," they both said. And they lived happily ever since.
