【答案】

1.A

解析:provide意为“提供”。根据下文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出作者的父母亲提供生活必需品。get意为“获得;赚得;赢得,博得,取得”;make意为“做,作,造,制造,做成,造成,建设;创作,著作,拟,起草;制定,设置;征收”;buy意为“买,购”。

2.B

解析:but用于构成并列句,意为“但是”,根据“My parents provided the necessities of life”与“they couldn’t give much more”的意思可判断出它们是转折关系。while表示对比,指“尽管” “虽然”,但程度不如still强烈,所引导的从句多位于主句之前,表示并列关系,指“而”“当……却……”,所引导的分句多位于句末,偶尔位于句首。but表示转折,指和上一分句所述情况相反,上下分句形成对比,一般不用在句首,更不用在句末,后面一般也不加逗号。so意为“因而,所以,那么,这样看来”。or意为“或,或者,还是”。

3.C

解析:ask...for意为“向……请求,要求”。根据下文中的if you want them可判断出表示“如果我向父亲要一条牛仔裤”。ask...about意为“向……问关于……”。ask of后接表示“人”的名词或代词,意为“要求,期望”。

4.C

解析:make the money and buy them是祈使句,其逻辑主语是you,所以要用反身代词yourself,表示“你自己”。

12.C

解析:enjoy意为“享受……之乐,欣赏,喜爱”。根据下文中的“These prove popular and word of them spread.”可判断出作者最喜欢做咨询工作,因为只有喜欢才能把工作做好。take意为“取得,获得,拿到,(从某处)得到”。hate意为“不愿,不喜欢”,与下文所提供的情境矛盾。do虽然可以与the part of my job构成短语,但与副词more无法连用。

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.
