题目内容

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the       , we had to pack our belongings into boxes and      those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again standing at the pier (码头)       good-bye to my father as his ship pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and me around before the ship was out of      , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of      in the new environment again.

Throughout the years of changing      , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my      and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while      some type of part-time job. Leaving a       career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.      she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother,      , managed to make each house the very home that is safe and      .

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,        with two small children:  “single”

parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to      her career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this      into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to      another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a      to rearrange furniture, make curtains and      pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a      attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so      all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

1.as is often the case: 情况经常如此。即母子不得不打点行装、舍弃心爱之物。故选择C项。

2.leave sth. behind: 丢下某物。leave sth. out: 省略、省去。leave off: 停止。leave for: 前往。故B项正确。

3.wave good-bye to sb. 挥手向某人道别。speak, talk都是不及物动词。stare: 凝视,不合题意。故答案为C。

5.fit in the new environment: 融入新环境。suit, match都是及物动词。adapt to: 适应。选择D项。

7.文章第一段提到“My mother would turn my brother and me around…”,第三段提到:“…with two small children”。故此处填brother。选择C项。

8.performing = doing, 后文说到,放弃自己很有前途的职业是母亲作出的重大牺牲之一,文章第三段提及每份临时性工作都成为母亲学习新东西、与人合作的机会。所以此处应该是“母亲边工作(perform some type of part-time job)边照顾孩子,身兼厨师、女佣和教师等数职”。seek: look for, try to find, 找工作不应该是“持续”的;wait, apply都是不及物动词。答案为A。

9.放弃自己前景不错的职业是母亲作出的重大牺牲之一。promising: 有前途的、前景不错的。terrible: 糟糕的。hopeless: 无望的。negative: 负面的、否定的。都不合语境。故答案是B.

12.虽然经济拮据,母亲还是设法让每一处居所成为安全舒适的家。romantic: 浪漫的。mysterious: 神秘的。wealthy: 富裕的。都不合语境。故答案为B.

16.后文说道,每次换住所,母亲都会热忱接触新的文化、新的气候和新的邻居,将每一个临时工作都看做是学习新知识和结识新朋友的机会。所以,母亲将他们频繁搬家、频繁换工作的生活方式视为“探索”世界的机会。故答案为B。acquire: 获得。occupy: 占据。realize: 认识到。

17.每次搬家都意味着“重置家具、定制窗帘”等,应该是一件相当麻烦的事。challenge: something difficult. 挑战。load: 载重量。sadness: 悲伤。result: 结果。答案选择D项。

18.搬至新房,自然要装扮一番,包括家具、窗帘、挂画。所以选择A项,悬挂画作,而非作画或卖画。

19.本文表现了母亲坚强、乐观的性格。故答案为C。positive: 积极向上的。changeable: 多变的、反复无常的。cautious: 小心谨慎的。negative: 负面的,消极的。

20.最后点题。母亲勇于面对艰辛、勇于克服困难、勇于牺牲。故选择B项。brave: 勇敢的。experienced: 有经验的。ordinary: 普通的。annoyed:恼怒的。

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
【小题1】What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?

A.He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
B.He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C.He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D.He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
【小题2】Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A.Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show
this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
【小题3】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C.My Father
D.My Childhood


D
My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could
make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to
be called Pip.
As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first imagination regarding what they were like, were unreasonably from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father’s gave me a strange idea that he was a square, dark man , with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the words, “Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,” I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled(长雀斑的)and sickly.
Ours was wet country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have been gained on an unforgettable cold afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain, that this place overgrown with nettles(荨麻)was the churchyard(墓地);and that Philip Pirip, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children to the aforesaid, were also dead and buried. Suddenly I began to feel lonely and sad and afraid. I began to cry.
"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"
A fearful man, all in grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been shivered; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin.
"Oh! Don't cut my throat, sir," I pleaded in terror. "Pray don't do it, sir."
"Tell us your name!" said the man.  "Quick!"
"Pip, sir."
"Once more," said the man, staring at me.  "Give it mouth!"
"Pip. Pip, sir."
“Show us where you live ,” said the man. “Point out the place!”
I pointed to where our village lay, among the alder-tree, a mile or more from the church. The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned mw upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a  piece of bread. When the church came to itself—for he was so sudden and strong that he made to go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple(尖塔)under my feet—when the church came to itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling, while he ate the bread hungrily.
“You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you have got.”
I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for my years, and not strong.
“Darn me If I couldn’t eat them,” said the man, with a threatening shake of his head.
I carefully expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.
“Now look here!” said the man. “Where’s your father?”
“There sir!” said I .
He started, made a short run, and stopped and liked over his shoulder.
“There sir!” I explained. “That’s his grave.”
“Oh!” said he, coming back.
“And mother’s there too, sir. And my five little brothers.”
67.Who do you think Alexander is?
A.Pip’s friend.                    B.Pip’s father.

C.Pip’s parents and little brothers were killed by the man.
D.Pip was probably shorter or thinner than most children of his age.
69.What is the fearful man most likely to be?
A.An escaped prisoner.       B.A minister of the church.
C.A tower watcher.           D.Pip’s parents’ enemy.
70.Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A.It was the words on the tombstones that made mw know of my parents’ appearance.
B.The man was so hungry that he wanted to cut his throat and eat his fat cheeks.
C.Pip’s parents were buried together in the churchyard 20 miles from the village.

A
If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees.One would certainly think otherwise; selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with risk.For example, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain, a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it onto the house.Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it.Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before.We were happy with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable.We easily placed it in a stand, decorated(装饰)it from top to bottom, and then self-satisfiedly sat back by the fire in its soft light.Two or three days passed and the truth could not be hidden; we had bought a tree cut so long ago that its needles were coming off.There was nothing to do undecorated it, take it down, and begin treeshopping again.Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another difficult task.When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it had in the great outdoors.To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, one whose nuts and bolts worked more mysteriously than those of our old stand.I persuaded two young neighbors to stop playing basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it correctly in the stand.Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers’ shoes, so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments(装饰)were stored.Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales more painful than these.I don’t care to hear them, as my family’s experiences are enough to cause me to make the following suggestion:“Let’s forget the tree next Christmas.Let’s simply hang some flowers on the front door and over the mirror in the hall.”
41.The darkest moments in the writer’s family were with the fact that________.
A.the family bought big Christmas trees

42.We can learn from the passage that the writer would like to________.

B.get the neighbors to put up their trees
C.buy a better tree
D.make some other decorations to celebrate Christmas rather than the tree
43.When the writer said“mother bought what she thought to be a bargain”, he means________.
A.she bought the tree at a cheap price
B.she didn’t really want to buy it
C.she had to bargain hard with the salesman
D.she couldn’t afford a more expensive one
44.Which of the following can be the best for the passage?
A.How to Select a Christmas Tree     B.No More Christmas Tree for US
C.Dark Moments of Life            D.Christmas without Trees

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
