76.toys
77.need
78.Besides
79.peace
80.on
81.their
82.when
83.more
84.compared
85.give
解析:
【语篇解读】本文为书信体。文章讲述了Evan作为家庭中最大孩子苦恼的事情,让我们懂得:作为长子/长女的不容易。
76.由句中all可知,这里指的是所有的玩具,因此用toy的复数形式,即toys。
77.句中of course及don’t…return可知,这里意为“我的妹妹们没有必要归回我的玩具”。故此处应为need。
78.由上句分享我的玩具及本句中they are always hanging around me可知,这里应包括分享玩具这件事。这样的介词只有besides符合。
79.由上句中hanging around me.可知,我的妹妹们总是缠着我,让我没有片刻安宁。故应填peace。
80.分析句意可知,我不得不吃盘子里的任何东西,而不用考虑它的味道。盘子里在盘子里用on the plate来表示。
81.由句中My sisters only try one bite可知,如果饭菜不是她们喜欢吃的话,她们仅尝一口。因此应填their。
82.分析句子结构可知,这里为由when引导的时间状语:当我们开始进行音乐器材训练的时候。
83.此结构为比较级。由句中have to及double the time可知,这里应填“多”的比较级。即:much的比较级more。
84.compared with…意为“与……相比”,规定搭配。
85.由本句意思可知,Evan希望编辑给自己提供建议,且give sb. sth.有此用法,符合句意。

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 【小题1】 began when I was just a kid. I 【小题2】 becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 【小题3】 people spent a lot more time reading than they 【小题4】 watching television. She announced that my brother and I
【小题5】watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 【小题6】 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 【小题7】 . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 【小题8】 the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 【小题9】 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 【小题10】 at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 【小题11】 food and pay the bills. With the money that is 【小题12】 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 【小题13】 with that plan, but once I had finished paying for all of the important things, there was 【小题14】 left. I realized that my mother was always dealing with money well to be able to 【小题15】 a roof over our heads and to put food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. _【小题16】__ required intellectual (智力的) preparation. I went back to my 【小题17】 and became an A-student again. Finally, I 【小题18】 my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 【小题19】 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 【小题20】 than parenting.

请阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36—55各题所给的A, B, C,D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were 【小题1】 .The rivers were long gone back into the 【小题2】 .If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true 【小题3】 of sharing and 【小题4】 the only miracle I had seen with my own eyes.
I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. Minutes after he 【小题5】 into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
I went back to make sandwiches, 【小题6】 that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 【小题7】 ,he was once again toward the woods. This 【小题8】 went on for an hour—walked 【小题9】 to the woods, and ran back to the house.
【小题10】 I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 【小题11】 him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most 【小题12】 sight. Several large deer were in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground 【小题13】 suffering from dehydrateion (脱水) and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with 【小题14】 effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 【小题15】 .
When the water was 【小题16】 ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 【小题17】 .Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(细流) began to creep out. When he stood up and began to 【小题18】 ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 【小题19】 ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly 【小题20】 by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.
