Question

I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye : Queen City Casket Company . “What is it ?” I wondered . I   36     it over . There , in faded ink , was a hand-scrawled（手写的）   37     . Immediately my mind traveled     38    many years .

I was nine years old , walking down the cold , wet streets of Springfield , with a bag of magazines on my shoulder . On my    39     that day , I came to that Company finally , whose owner , Mr Rader , had always taken me there to ask his workers    40     they wanted any magazines .

Shaking off the     41    like a wet dog , I entered Mr Rader’s office . After a quick glance he     42    me over to the fire-place . Noticing the     43    in the top of my     44    , he said , “ Come with me !” pulling me into his pickup    45     . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store . Inside , a salesman    46     me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had    47     seen . I     48    about 10 feet tall when I got up    49     them . “ We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said .

Back in his office , Mr Rader took out a     50    , wrote something on it , and handed it to me . With    51     eyes , I read , “ Do to others as you would have them do to you .” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy , I want you to    52     I love you”.

I said good-bye , and for the first time I    53     a flicker of hope that somehow things would be    54     . With people like Mr Rader in the world , there was hope , kindness and love , and that would always make a    55     .

Answer 1

36---55     CCDBC   DAABA   BADDC   ABACD 

解析:

36 C

 turn over把翻过来。作者看到的是一张卡片，卡片的一面注有地址，要想看到内容，得把它翻过来。

37 C

 根据后文，Mr Rader在卡片上写的是送给作者的赠言。address地址；list目录；information消息，信息。

38 D

 作者见到这张卡片，思绪又回到了从前。forward或ahead如指时间，应往后推。

39 B

 根据下文提示可知，作者当时的工作是卖杂志，应来回沿街叫卖。

40 C

 作者是卖杂志的，Mr Rader帮作者询问他的工人是否需要杂志。

41 D

 根据第二段首句和空格后面的wet dog可推出答案。

42 A

 作者是在Mr Rader的办公室，当时又冷又潮，故Mr Rader把他带到炉火旁取暖。

43 A

 下文提到Mr Rader给作者买的是一双鞋和袜子，因此可推测作者的鞋子坏了。

44 B

 根据下文Mr Rader给作者买的东西可推出答案。

45 A

 pick up皮卡；一种小型货车。

46 B

 dress给……穿衣服；show展示；comfort安慰；fit…with给……提供。服务员给我拿出了一双很好的鞋。

47 A

 Mr Rader给作者买的鞋子是作者那时曾经见过的最好的鞋子。

48 D

 这是作者当时曾经见过的最好的鞋子，又非常适合他，穿上一定感到比穿那双已经坏了的鞋要舒服很多。

49 D

 本题考查在特定语境下使用介词的能力。in …穿着……。

50 C

 根据第一段首句可得知答案。

51 A

 Mr Rader给了作者无私的帮助，令作者非常感动。

52 B

 admit承认；consider认为，考虑；express表达。如用这三个词与作者所要表达的感情不符。

53 A

 作者当时的生活条件很差，九岁就沿街卖杂志，Mr Rader对他无私的帮助让他感到生活又充满了希望。

54 C

 此处意思为：一切事情都会好起来的。

55 D
