My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. 【1】 When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless 【2】 and asked God for help.“Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my hope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” 【3】, I choked up(哽咽)and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school 【4】. It's out of my hands.”
For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. “That was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said,
【5】. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
A. and nothing has worked.
B. it really hit me how much I was hurting you
C. that I got down on my knees
D. I was really disappointed at you
E. Before he could say another word
F. when she was saying something
G. but the more I tried, the more he dulled away.
【答案】

【2】C
【3】E
【4】A
【5】B
【解析】
文章大意:丈夫去世后,儿子性格变得孤僻起来,单亲母亲想尽一切办法想帮助儿子,却没有任何好转。终于一次儿子想借校长的名义跟妈妈打电话开个玩笑时听到了母亲的心声,从此振作起来,逐渐成了母亲的骄傲…
【1】句意:但是我越努力,他就越消沉。上文提到单亲妈妈想尽一切办法与他交流,来帮助儿子,下文又说儿子有95次旷课,六门功课不及格,由此推断儿子在学校里表现并不好,可知妈妈所付出的努力没有收到任何的效果,故答案为G。
【2】句意:我跪下双膝。根据上句“I felt so powerless.”我觉得自己无能为力。因此才有了下句“下跪向上帝求助”,so…that构成结构状语从句,故答案为C。
【3】句意:他还没来得及说别的话。根据后面的句子“I choked up(哽咽)and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger.”当校长向这位母亲谈到儿子旷课的事情时,难以掩饰对儿子的失望和悲伤之情,还没等对方说话,就把自己一肚子的苦水都倒了出来,故答案选E。
【4】句意:什么效果也没有。根据文章句子"I love my son, but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school …It's out of my hands."得知,母亲爱儿子,她已经竭尽全力在帮助儿子,最后一句“It's out of my hands.”说明母亲这时的心理,感觉自己已经无能为力了,说明对儿子的帮助没有起到效果。答案为A。
【5】句意:我对你那么大的伤害深深触动了我。根据后面的句子“That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”可知,儿子意识到自己的行为对母亲的伤害有多深,从那时起,必须改过自新,成为母亲的骄傲,因此选B。
【题目】(题文)Do you know all birds protect themselves by always listening and watching out for danger? At the smallest sign of it, they will fly away. Birds that cannot fly are often able to swim fast, or run quickly.
Some birds make themselves look bigger and more dangerous by fluffing (动) their feathers. Another important protection for many birds is their colors. Their feathers often have colors that match the things around their nests (巢). Some birds change colors with the seasons. In the winter they are white to match the snow. In the summer they are brown to match the ground.
People sometimes kill birds without meaning to. When people cut down forests to build houses and factories, they destroy the homes and food of birds. If the birds have nowhere else to go and nothing to eat, they will die out. Pollution may cause some birds to die. Birds that eat fish from polluted water get poison in their bodies. Then they cannot lay healthy eggs. New birds can't be born.
Now people protect birds by passing the laws to control hunting and pollution, by setting up some special parks where all the birds are safe from hunters, and by teaching people to care about birds rather than kill them.
