解析:

16.B。外面下雨了,人们都在躲雨,等候雨停。下文母亲的话“We’ll wait until...”也给出了提示。从后半句看,一些人耐心,一些人有些恼怒,所以不能说大家都在抱怨。

17.C。别的人恼怒,当然因为大自然的突然降雨打乱了他们正常的工作生活节奏。

18.D。雨水冲刷走了世界上的尘土和脏物。

19.A。catch me相当于catch my attention,“引起了我的注意力”,因为此前我正沉醉于雨水带来的感受中。并没有让我恼怒,也谈不上给我留下了很深的印象。

20.A。slow down指雨下得缓和一点,不能说stop a bit,停止不存在程度上的一点。

21.B。此句话和前面说的话一样,所以是重复了一遍。

22.A。小孩子想让母亲一起在雨中走,而母亲又没有答应,所以孩子要拉着母亲的手往外走。

23.C。从女儿的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那话的。

24.C。如果上帝能让小孩的父亲度过这一难关,则能让他们度过任何“难关”。

25.B。still一动不动;silent沉默,不出声。对于小孩的这一天真美好的愿望,大家显然都事先没有想到,所以都在沉默,并静观下面事情的发展。

26.A。what引导宾语从句,what在句中充当say的宾语,母亲在考虑要和女儿怎么说。

27.B。母亲知道,孩子说出的话,在一些人看来肯定会是有点傻的,因为上帝是不存在的,这种愿望只是一种幻想。dishonest不诚实的,欺骗的。孩子的说法是一种美好愿望,当然算不上是欺骗。

28.A。母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真,所以表示赞同“你是对的”,是肯定孩子的话就是自己讲过的话,而不是说孩子聪明。

29.A。run off跑开。此处强调off,故把这个词提前。

30.D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注,他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。

31.A。从定语从句可知,母女的行为也感染了其他的人,又有几个人也加入她们的行列,在雨中奔跑。follow跟着。

32.B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑,很兴奋。

33.C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父亲得癌症了,所以说境况可以带走人们的健康。

34.B。从下文“… make memories every day!”可知,自己创造的美好记忆是不会被带走的。

35.B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住机会做某事,为固定搭配。该句的意思是“抓住创造美好记忆的机会。

Artificial(假的) flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.?

The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.?

A. An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers ?

  Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.

   After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”

   When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”

   I followed my dad’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.

   Of all the jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania. Railway Service that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he’d be gone.

   Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.

What can be inferred about the baggage boys?

   A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

   B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.

   C. They were all from poor families.

   D. They were all thin, young boys.

What does the father’s advice imply?

   A. It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.

   B. Don’t believe them if they are paying you more.

   C. Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers.

   D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.

The writer can’t put up with stealing because he thinks that ___.

   A. it is a totally shared experience

   B. it is considered as the most dangerous

   C. it does great harm to human relationship

   D. it may lead to the loss of his sports team

It can be concluded from the text that ___.

   A. his father’s advice helped him to decide which job to take up

   B. working in the sports team was his most important experience

   C. he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members

   D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his latter life
