Question

I returned to Abuja，the capital of Nigeria，after college graduation.I had been there before my mother became a minister.
Two weeks later，I told my mother I was bored.She said，“Here’re the car keys.Go and buy some fruit.”1，I jumped into the car and speeded off.
Seeing me or rather my2，a boy sprang up (跳起来)，3 to sell his bananas and peanuts.“Banana 300 naira.Peanut 200 naira！”
Looking at his black?striped bananas，I4 to 200 total for the fruit and nuts.He5.I handed him a 500 naira note.He didn’t have6，so I told him not to worry.He was7 and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When，two weeks later，I8 this same boy.I was more aware of my position in Nigerian society.I should9 this country as the son of a10.But it was hard to find pleasure in a place where it was so11 to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit.
“What’s up？” I asked.He answered in12 English，“I...I no get money to buy book.”I took out two 500 naira notes.He looked around13 before sticking his hand into the car14 the bills.One thousand naira means a lot to a family that15 only 50,000 each year.
The next morning，security officers told me，“In this place，when you give a little，people think you’re a fountain of opportunity (机会).”
16 it’s right，but this happens everywhere in the world.I wondered if my little friend had actually used the money for17.
After six months’ work in northern Nigeria，I returned and saw him again standing on the road.
“Are you in school now？”
He nodded.
A silence fell as we looked at each other，then I18 what he wanted.I held out a 500 naira note.“Take this.”
He shook his head fiercely and stepped back19 hurt.
“It’s a gift，”I said.
Shaking his head again，he handed me a basket of bananas and peanuts.“I’ve been waiting to20 these to you.”

Answer 1

1.C因我感到厌烦，而妈妈叫我开车去买水果，所以我很高兴。此处delighted为形容词作状语，说明主语的状态。
2.A我开车去买水果，所以卖水果的小男孩看见的是我的车。
3.C小男孩看到有人来了，所以急于卖自己的水果。(be)eager to do sth.急于干某事；(be)willing to do sth.愿意干某事；be afraid to do sth.不敢干某事；(be)ashamed to do sth.干某事感到害羞。
4.B根据小男孩说的，香蕉300奈拉，花生200奈拉，而我最终用200奈拉买下了水果和花生，证明此处我是在讨价还价。因此B项正确。
5.C。根据上下文判断，小男孩同意了这个价格。
6.A我给了小男孩一张500奈拉的纸币，而小男孩找不开，很明显他没零钱。change“零钱”；note与bill是“纸币，钞票”；check“支票”。
7.D小男孩没零钱找，我告诉他别担心，表示我不要了，因此小男孩非常感激。
8.B。ran after追赶，寻找；ran into偶然遇见；ran over轧过去；ran to跑向。根据句意：两周后，我又见到了这个小男孩。
9.B作为部长的儿子，我有自己的社会地位，我应该喜欢这个国家，但是我在这儿找不到快乐。
10.A。根据短文第一段第二句话可知。
11.D为什么找不到快乐，是因为经常看到本该上学而不能去上学的小男孩卖水果。
12.A因为小男孩没上学，所以英语说得不好，磕磕绊绊地，且下文“I no get money to buy book”中有两处错误，因此broken符合题意。
13.D因为向别人要钱，有点儿不好意思，因此应是紧张地向四周看看。
14.A伸进手来拿钱，因此此处的介词表目的。只有for有此用法。
15.C。make money挣钱。
16.Asecurity officers说的话可能是对的，但是这样的事全世界都会发生。
17.C根据上文中的“I no get money to buy book”判断，此处填books。
18.D两人见面后，陷入沉默中，因为前两次我都给了小男孩钱，这时我意识到他是要向我要钱。
19.B。when当……时候；as if好像；even if即使；after之后。根据句意：我给他钱，他用力摇了摇头而且后退，后面又是“hurt(伤害)”一词，由此判断应填as if。
20.D。send派遣，发送；provide提供；sell卖；give给。根据上文的表述，小男孩不仅不要钱，给他钱他也觉得好像受了伤害一样，由此判断小男孩现在是来报答我的，因此这些水果应该是给我，而不是卖给我。
