Question

Growing up in my Grandma’s house as a boy was an experience that would shape me for the rest of my life. We were poor in everything but . yet I learned so much about life there. My Mom, Dad, Grandma, two , and I were all into a home made from two old shabby cars. I always knew what my next would look like because I had seen my older brother them the year before, I always knew what we were going to be in winter, because I had it in the garden during the summer. , I never felt poor. No king ever ate as good as we did on Sundays after church when Grandma her homemade meatballs, spaghetti（意大利式细面条）and freshly baked bread.

we had so little I can still remember Dad, Mom, and Grandma giving so much. We were always with others. Everyone who our family could expect a of spaghetti, or a jar of vegetables, or a flower pot full of fresh flowers. I can still remember my parents’ eyes whenever they passed something on to others. We never felt than when we shared what we were given. I learned early that the greatest joy comes from giving getting. Giving makes your spirit greater.

Don’t be afraid to what you have to others. Share everything you have. If you have a beautiful , then smile at whoever you come across. If you have a few extra dollars, then give them to the people in need. If you have a talent, then share it with others. If you have a heart full of love, then give it to everyone.

【解析】

试题分析：人生最大的快乐来源于给予，而不是索取。生命只有在它成为对世界对他人的礼物后，它才算真正地活过。

1.

2.ecause I had seen my older brother 25 them the year before, ”可知，和“我”住在一起的除了祖母和父母外，还有我的两个哥哥。所以，选择B.brothers.

3.A. divided“分开”B. admitted“承认，准许进入”C. locked“锁”D. crowded“拥挤，挤”，文章此部分主要讲“我”的家经济上并不富裕，所以一家人“挤”着住在一个由两辆破车改造而成的家里。故只能填D. crowded.

4.because I had seen my older brother them the year before”可知，“我”从“我”的哥哥前一年穿的衣服就知道，今年“我”要穿什么了。所以该空填名词D.clothes.

5. 动词ing辨析。“我”知道“我”将要穿什么衣服，通过看哥哥前一年“穿”什么，故答案为C.wearing.

6. 动词辨析。“我”知道“我们”在冬天“吃”什么，因为“我”在夏天已在菜园里种下了种子。所以，该空选择B.eating.

7. A. developed“发展，”B. planted“种植”C. polluted“污染”D. poisoned“下毒，毒害”，冬天能吃上的东西，显然是在夏天的时候已经“种”上了，所以答案定为B.planted.

8.A. Meanwhile“同时”B. Therefore“所以”C. Besides“此外”D. However“然而”，此空副词的选择，要考虑上下文的逻辑关系，上文主要讲“我”的家境贫寒，但该句的句意为“‘我’并不觉得穷。”所以，填D.However，表示转折。

9.A. cooked“煮，做饭”B. Earned“赚得，挣得”C. washed“洗”D. sold“卖”，由上文“No king ever ate as good as we did”（皇帝也没我们吃的好），所以该处应是祖母为“我们”“做”的意大利面和现烤的面包。此空正确答案为A.cooked.

10.A. Unless“除非” B. Since“因为，自从…以来”C. When“当…的时候” D. Although“虽然，尽管”，该句的句意为：“虽然‘我们’有的东西不多，但‘我’记得父母和祖母给了‘我’很多。”所以，选 D. Although来引导让步状语从句。

11.A. chatting“聊天”B. communicating“交流”C. sharing“分享”D.exchanging“交换”,该段主要讲述“我们”乐于分享，由该段中“We never felt 35 than when we shared what we were given.”（“我们”在分享所被给予的东西时，最为快乐。）可知，该空应填C.sharing.

12.A. visited“拜访，访问”B. warned“警告，提醒”C. supposed“假设，认为”D. saved“救，节省”,根据文意显然是每个“客人”到“我”家都会得到一盘意大利面或是一罐菜或是一个装满了花的花盆。“客人”即everyone who visited our family(拜访我们的人)，所以选A.visited.

13.A. basket“篮子”B. cup“杯子”C. spoon“匙，一勺”D. plate“盘子”，根据常识，我们往往用盘子来装意大利面，故选D. plate.

14.A. opened“打开”B. shone“发光，闪耀”C. hurt“伤害”D. glanced“一瞥”，该句讲的是“我”的父母无论何时在给别人东西时，他们的眼神都是明亮的。所以，此空填B. Shone.

15.

16. A. less than “小于，少于”B. fewer than “少于”C. other than “除了，不同于”D. rather than “而不是”，该句句意：“‘我’在很早就知道，最大的快乐来自于给予‘而不是’索取。”所以，此空填D. rather than.

17.A. take up“占用，从事”B. pick up“拾起，获得”C. pass on“转交，给”D. give in“屈服”，上文一直在谈论share“分享”，故该句话告诉大家不害怕把你的东西“给”他人，所以此空正确答案为C. pass on“转交”.

18.A. face“面孔” B. smile“笑容” C. band“乐队” D. figure“体型”，该句主句部分讲到要分享笑容，所以if引导的条件句语意应为：“如果你的‘笑容’甜美的话，”故答案为 B. smile.

19. A. convenient “方便的”B. contemporary“同时代的，当代的” C. vital“至关重要的”D. special“特殊的”，此空要选一形容词来修饰名词“天赋”，要分享的天赋，自然应是“独特的，特殊的”才有必要与人分享。所以，要选D. Special.

20. A. until“直到…才”B. after“在…之后”C. because“因为”D.if“如果”，该句句意：“生命只有在它成为礼物后，它才算真正地活过。”即“直到…才”，所以答案定为 A. until.
