试题分析：文章大意：本文讲述了16岁时那年，“我”遵父亲之命到商店买电线时所亲身体验的一件事情。作为黑人的我深深地感到社会上存在着种族歧视现象，因为我曾目睹我的朋友在赊账时受到老板的冷眼相待，但幸运的是，老板却爽快地答应了，因为我是James Williams的儿子。那件事使我明白了：正是父母的诚实、正直才赢得了老板和邻居们的尊敬。
小题1:B。逻辑推理题。根据下文 “_ 37_ this time I was not happy.”可知，作者平常很喜欢开车。nothing better than意思为“没有什么能比得上”，比较级表示最高级的含义。本句的意思为“十六岁的我最喜欢开车”。比较级表示最高级含义的例句： We couldn't have had worse news. 我们不可能有更坏的消息了。How beautiful she sings! I have never heard a better voice.她唱得多好听!我从来未听过这么美妙的嗓音。
小题2:C。逻辑推理题。上文中 “liked”与 “not happy” 构成转折关系 连词要用but。
小题3:A。形容词词义辨析。本句是由when引导的非限制性定语从句 对先行词a _3_age进一步补充说明。因此，此处所填的形容词应与 “when a young man wants respect not charity” 所表达的意思相同。 prideful“自豪的、傲慢的”，符合题意。这也与下文中的 “I was filled with pride” 相吻合。选项C的干扰性很大 respectful意思为 “尊重的，尊敬的 ( 向别人)表示尊敬的(feeling or showing respect)”.
小题4:B。考察背景知识与名词含义。racial discrimination：种族歧视,由此可知故事应发生在美国。20世纪60年代，在马丁.路德金领导了民权运动（The Civil Rights Movement）之后，黑人的权益逐渐改善，但种族歧视的残余依然存在。由下一句可知：黑人依然受歧视，也就是种族歧视的可怕的阴影（或残余）仍然是黑人必须面对的事实。shadow的意思为“阴影，阴暗面；影响。” intention：目的；shadow：阴影；habit：习惯；faith：信任。
小题5:C。副词词义辨析题。本题结合4题选择still“仍然”，表示“丑恶的种族歧视阴影依然在现实生活中存在”。just：刚刚、恰好；ever：曾经；thus：因此。
小题6:C。动词词义辨析题。guess认为，猜想；figure 料想，估计，后接that从句，不接whether从句。而question意思为“怀疑，对??产生质疑”，后接whether从句。B项suspect的干扰性很强。suspect表示怀疑（不相信某事存在或属实），或觉得(尤指坏事)可能是事实，后接that从句，一般不接whether从句，要注意其用法。question：做动词，表示提问、询问；对.....提出疑问、怀疑，对某事物表示或感到怀疑，可接whether开头的宾语从句。C项与句意符合：而店主怀疑他们是否可信。
小题7:A。动词词义辨析题。本句意思为：每次象我一样的黑种人来商店的时候，店员总是把他们当作小偷似的暗中监视。watch表示“暗中监视某人。”注意accuse表示“指责，控告”，不合题意。dismiss：开除。
小题8:B．形容词词义辨析题。根据下文 “We paid our debts.But before harvest,cash was short.”和文章的最后一句“a decent person who kept his word and respect at himself”可知答案为honest。注意D项modest 意思为“谦虚的”。
小题9:D．动词词义辨析题。由上文可知，在“我”的心目中黑人经常受歧视，此处表示：缺少现金，老板是否赊账给我们，是否信任我们。trust “信任”。blame：指责；charge：控诉；excuse：原谅。
小题10:B．连词词义辨析题。分析动词nodded和passed之间的关系可知两动作同时发生，连词as 表示“当??时候”，引导时间状语从句。once：一旦；until：直到。
小题11:A．名词词义辨析题。由首句 “One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm”可知，我去商店买电线，名词purchases意思为“购买之物”，这里指wire。C项orders意思为“预定的货物”，不合题意。favorite：最喜爱的东西。
小题12:D。 副词词义辨析题。因为没有现金，“我”当时年轻爱面子，很担心，害怕老板不赊账，故“我”小心翼翼地对老板说。 casually ：随意地；confidently ：自信地； cheerfully ：高兴地。
小题13:A．动词短语辨析题。由下一句“But Buck’s face didn’t change.”可知选A项look，此处表示表情、神色、眼神。本句的意思为“那个农民以戏弄的、不相信的眼光看着我，然而巴克面不改色”。 give sb a look：看某人一眼；give sb a stare：瞪某人一眼；response反应；与make搭配，不与give搭配。comment：评价，做评论是make a comment，不是give a comment。
小题14:C。副词感情色彩辨析题。由下文可知，店主的态度与农民形成对比，关键词是But。从店主的话可知，“我”的父亲很讲诚信，总是能够偿还赊账。easily这里意思为“轻易地，轻松地，安然地”。用此词最能反映出老板不假思索，毫无疑问地同意给“我” 赊账。patiently：耐心地；eagerly：热心地、急切地；proudly：骄傲地。
小题15:D．副词词义辨析题。本句意思为：老板答应爽快，他知道Williams一家向来是诚实守信的，按时偿还赊账。
小题16:C。动词短语辨析题。老板与“我”对话之后又转向那个农民，turn to 意思为“转向”。point to: 指向。reply to：回答。introduce to：将某人介绍给另一个人。从下一句的内容：“这是詹姆斯.威廉斯的一个儿子。”可判断店主是在跟身边的那位农民说话。所以在说话之前店主应转向农民。
小题17:B．介词短语辨析题。由上文可知，这时那个农民对“我”的态度由起先amused distrustful转变为 neighborly（友好的）。in a neighborly way: 一种友好的方式。in a sense：在某种意义上。to a degree: 达到某种程度。in the mood for （doing）sth / to do sth：有做某事的想法。
小题18:A．name表示名声、名气。My family had earned是定语从句修饰先行词name，省去了关系代词that或which.。 earn the good name表示蠃得名声。注意B项的干扰性，deserve意思为“应受，值得（荣誉、惩罚、奖励等）”，与句意不符。earn：赢得。
小题19:B。动词词义辨析题。表示人们从 Williams家族身上所期待的，expect意思为“期待”。receive from： 收到某人的来信。collect：收集。require：要求。
小题20:D。本题考查对too?to结构的理解。本句的意思为：人人都知道Williams家族是诚实守信，自尊自重，以至不会做错事的正派家族。
