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”。
5.D
解析:afford指时间或经济能力可以“花费得起,经受得住”,须与情态动词can,could或be able to搭配。根据上文中的“they couldn’t give much more”可判断出“买不起”。pay意为“付清,偿清,缴纳”;find意为“找到;获得;发现;(偶然)看见,拾得,遇见”;produce意为“生,产生,生产,结(果实)”。
6.D
解析:graduate意为“毕业”,根据下文中的from high school可判断出当作者在高中毕业时,参加了海军。come意为“来,过来”,come from high school表示“来自高中”;return意为“回来,回去,返回”;escape意为“逃走,逃亡,逃脱,逃逸,逃避”,都与上下文的内容不相符。
7.B
解析:task意为“任务”,一般指分派的工作任务,也指自己要求做的工作,可指体力劳动或脑力劳动,多含困难和辛苦的意味。根据下文中的“These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock battles.”可判断出在海军的生活,集中在完成日常工作中。drill意为“操练,演习;(严格而有系统的)盘练,训练”;exercise意为“演习,操练,训练;〔常 pl.〕运动,体操”;report意为“告知,报告,汇报;报导(新闻、调查结果等);发表,公布,发表公报”。
8.C
解析:require意为“需要,要求;命令”,指按规章、惯例或需要,要求对方做某事或履行某种义务,往往认为有权力提出要求,含有强制、命令的意味。根据部队的实际情况和其宾语可判断出,完成这些任务需要纪律。include意为“包含,包括,算入,计入”;ask意为“求,请求,祈求”;meet意为“满足,迎合”。
9.A
解析:matter作动词的意思是“关系重要,要紧”。根据下文中的“everyone worked together”可判断出无论你是黑人、白人或亚洲人都没有关系。mean意为“意指,用……意思说,意味着,就是”;exist意为“存在,有”;work意为“工作”。

解析:good作名词意为“利益,好处,用处”,根据上文的内容可判断出大家在一起为整个团体的利益而工作。boss意为“老板,上司,经理,工头,工长”;rest意为“残留的人,其余的人”;right意为“权利”。
11.B
解析:go on意为“继续”。根据上文中的“When I graduated from high school,I joined the navy.”可判断出作者继续学习,go out意为“出去,熄灭,过时,罢工,向往,辞职,倒塌”;go away意为“走开”;go off意为“离开,去世,消失,睡去,爆炸,被发射,进行,变质”。
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。

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
