题目内容

I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I ____ on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my ugly, sightless, cloudy grey eye lived on ____ me.

    Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (使人难堪的) questions. Whenever the kids played ____, I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on me.

    Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that ____.

    As a child, I thought mum meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or run into something ____ because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to ____ my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.

    In high school I even became the ____, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would ____ to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is ____ instead of your appearance (外貌).”

    My mum's love was the ____ that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be ____ but also to have deep compassion (同情) for others.

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是作者因为小时候的一次意外使自己的眼睛受到了伤害,而且外貌变得丑陋。作者一度心情非常低落,对自己的生活失去了信心。但是在妈妈的鼓励下,作者开始变得自信起来,也知道了如何去同情他人。

1.考查动及语境的理解。句意:我落到了一块玻璃上,眼睛受到了严重的伤害。stood 原形stand, 站;land 着陆;found 原形是find,发现,找到;work工作。这里是说小时候作者摔了一跤,跌到了玻璃上,故这里应该用land表示落到地上的意思。故选B。

2.考查介及语境的理解。句意:从那以后,我的丑陋的、无光的、灰色的眼睛就一直伴随着我。for 为了,因为;like 做介词时是像的意思;by 通过……方式,乘坐;with和,伴随着。根据句意这里是说自从摔了一跤之后,作者的眼睛就变得非常的丑陋了。故选D。

3.考查名及语境的理解。句意:当孩子们一起玩游戏的时候,我就是怪物的角色。games 游戏;jokes 玩笑,笑话;toys 玩具;sports运动。这里是说作者和小朋友们一起玩游戏的时候,因为作者丑陋的眼睛,他总是来扮演怪物的角色。故选A。

4.考查名及语境的理解。句意:然而妈妈对我说:“抬起头来,面对这个世界。”,我开始依赖妈妈的这句话。glass 玻璃;topic 主题;reply 回复;saying话,谚语。这里是作者对妈妈说的话产生了依赖,故应该选D。

5.考查副及语境的理解。句意:小心点,否则你会摔倒,你不看着会撞上东西的。immediately 立刻,马上;accidentally 意外的;continuously 持续的;expectedly 预期的,果然。根据文意小时候,妈妈总是会嘱咐孩子小心,别意外的摔倒,撞到东西上。故选B。

6.考查动及语境的理解。句意:在我十几岁的时候,我总是低头向下看,把自己的羞辱隐藏起来。这里是作者因为自己的相貌丑陋而感到自卑,所以总是低着头,把脸藏起来。show 展示;meet 遇见;behave 行为举止;hide隐藏。根据文意可知选D。

7.考查名及语境的理解。句意:在中学里,我甚至成了班长,但是在我的内心里仍然觉得自己像个怪物。president 班长;teacher 老师;teenager 青少年;adult成年人。这里是作者在念中学的时候,所以不可能是老师或成年人。根据常理,在念中学时,作者应该就是十几岁的青少年,故C也不对。故选A。

8.考查动及语境的理解。句意:在事情变得很糟糕的时候,我会对妈妈哭泣,这时,妈妈会用慈爱的眼睛看着我说,“抬起头来,面对这个世界”。write 写;add 增加;cry 哭;face面对。根据文意,当情况变得糟糕的时候,作者的心情肯定不好,会更加的自卑,故会对妈妈哭泣,故选C。

9.考查介及语境的理解。句意:让别人看到你内心的美丽,而不只是看到你的外貌。这里的inside 是内心,内里的意思,是相对于后面的appearance外貌而言的,虽然作者的外貌丑陋,但是内心是美的。beside 在...旁边;outside 外边,外部;inside 里面,内部;alongside在...侧面。故选C。

10.考查名及语境的理解。句意:妈妈的爱是照亮我的世界的阳光。根据句中made me bright,可知这里应该是sunshine,阳光。suggestion 建议;experience 经验,经历;sunshine 阳光;introduction 介绍。故选C。

11.考查形容语境的理解。句意:在经历了艰难的时刻后,我不仅学会了自信,而且也知道了同情他人。confident 自信;unusual 不寻常的;similar 相似的;ordinary 普通的。这里是作者在妈妈的鼓励下逐渐学会了自信,不再自卑。故选A。

12.考查代及语境的理解。句意:“抬起头来”这句话经常可以在我的家里听到,我把它告诉给了我的孩子们。妈妈给我的这个礼物会一直的传下去。it 它;them 他们;that 那个;those那些。这里的it 指的是妈妈对作者说的话。故选A。

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She said, “Victor and Elizabeth, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her so much. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university(大学). I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met Professor Waldman. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor and other important scientists helped me. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years. After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast(桅杆)about 150 metres high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
