2.Nothing could stop Dad.After he was put on disability for a bad back,he bought a small farm in the country,just enough to grow food for the family.He planted vegetables,fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).The Smell really burned the inside of your nose.When we complained about the terrible smell,Dad said the stronger the manure,the healthier the crops,and he was right.For example,just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜)filled the entire house with its sweet smell,and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in,Dad threw himself into cooking.One day,armed with a basket of vegetables,he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages,eggplants,potatoes,corns,onions and carrots.For about half an hour,the pressure built and the vegetables cooked.Finally,Dad turned off the stove,the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam.If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad,this was 10times worse.When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house.Just how bad was it?The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined,Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around.It didn't look that bad,and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,it didn't offend the nose so much,edible,and we drank up every last drop of soup.

分析 本文主要讲述了作者的父亲因为后背疾病,退休在家.后来买了一个小农场,在里面种满了各种蔬菜、果树甚至还养了蜜蜂.但作者的父亲收获的时候,他炖了一锅蔬菜,闻到味道时,大家都觉得难闻,打开门窗通风,就连邻居也出来看看是不是煤气漏气,作者和其他人觉得烧得很糟糕,看起来很糟糕,但是最后全部都吃光了.
解答 8.D 词义判断题.根据文章上文的After he was put on disability for a bad back,he bought a small farm in the country,just enough to grow food for the family.He planted vegetables,fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.虽然残疾了,可是他并没有放弃生活,而是经营着农村,在里面种满了各种蔬菜、果树甚至还养了蜜蜂.结合选项,故选D
9.D 细节题.根据文章内容"When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out."当爸爸取下盖子,气味几乎击败了我们.可知,由于这个浓烈的气味邻居到我们家看看是不是煤气泄漏.故选D.
10.B推断题.划线词所在部分"after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,it didn't offend the nose so much"句意为"当第一波气味把我的嗅觉麻痹以后,它对我的鼻子也没那么 _____ 了".根据语境,此处表达"使鼻子不舒服"之意,B项 upset 意为"使烦躁",符合文意.attract"吸引",air"通风;使晾干",shut"关闭",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.
11.A 推理判断题.根据Just how bad was it?The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!可知,最初味道难闻;we drank up every last drop of soup.(我们喝光了每一滴汤).结合选项,故选A
