题目内容
A small plane crashed into a hillside five miles east of the city, _____ all four people on board.
A. killed B. killing C. kills D. to kill
B
解析:
主要测试分词短语作状语。由语境可知译文：一家小飞机撞到了城市东部五英里处一座小山边，结果飞机上四人全部遇难。从译文可知属于顺其自然的结果，故此选择现在分词killing。另外还应该注意答案：D ，to kill通常表示出乎意料的结果。例如：He hurried to the railway station to find the train has gone 。他匆忙赶到火车站，结果发现火车已经走了。（出乎意料）
We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful(糟糕的) lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出） “ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
