题目内容
On my birthday, Kate gave me some flowers. The flowers ______ her ¥56.
- A.paid
- B.took
- C.cost
- D.spent
试题分析:句意:在我生日的时候,凯特送给我一些花。这些花花费了她56元。cost花费,只能是物作为主语,故选C
考点:spend,cost, pay,take的用法
点评:英语中spend,cost, pay,take这四个词都可以表示“花费”,但用法却不尽相同。spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth(in可以省略),spend的主语必须是人,可以指花费时间、也可以指花费金钱;cost用于 sth costs sb sth,主语必须是物,多指花费金钱,少数情况可指花费时间、气力,有时表示成本的消耗;pay的基本用法是:(1) pay (sb.) money for sth. 付钱(给某人)买……。 (2)pay for sth. 付……的钱。 (3)pay for sb. 替某人付钱。(4)pay sb. 付钱给某人。除以上三个之外,还有take,多用于句型It takes sb some time to do sth.某人花一段时间做某事,是初中英语语法点。
I did, and he was grateful.
“Thank you,” he said.
“I’m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said.
He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted(反应) to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.
I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
“ Nice shoes,” he said.
“Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before,” I said.
“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.
“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable.
“What about me? I asked.
“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don’t normally have someone look me in the eye.”
“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him.
“My old face is nothing to brag(自夸) about.” he said.
“But that smile is so big.”
Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果园), looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的). Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie, and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since then. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds ran across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “ You know, Sophie,” he says, “ I spent the morning in the attic (阁楼), and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe(烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?”
“ But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“That’s true,” he says, “but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home…toward an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

Li Hua: Surfing the Internet is very exciting. We can do lots of things, such as playing games, listening to music, chatting with our friends and so on, I really enjoy it.
Wang Gang: I like surfing the Internet, too. Because I can learn a lot from it. I can get the latest news all over the world. I also can find the information I need so that I can spend less time on my homework.
Zhang Jie: It’s hard to say. I agree that the Internet is helpful to our study. But it’s not right to spend too much time on the games. And some information on the Internet is bad for our mind. What’s more, surfing too much does harm to our eyes. In a word, we should use the Internet in a right way.

I took the bus to school every day when I was in primary school. Alvin, our bus 1. , picked us up every morning. We were all from 2. families. My parents could hardly support the family with 3. children.
Once a month, Alvin stopped at a local bus-stop. Then someone came out and 4. each of us if we wanted an ice cream or a drink. Alvin paid for it. At the end of school year, he took us to 5. home for dancing. The 6. that he showed was amazing. We didn’t get treats like that too often, so what he did for us was 7. remembered.
Twenty years later, I called him and 8. him for us. I told him that he probably couldn’t remember me, but I sure9. him! And I could hear the smile in his voice when he said he was happy that I called.
He is the reason why I do my 10. to show kindness to everyone I meet. He has had a big influence on my life. And I am very pleased that I was able to tell him.
