17.The store was closing for the night.Young Alfred Higgins,the shop assistant,was ready to go home.Mr.Carr stared at him and said,"Hold on,Alfred.Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go."Alfred's face got red.After a little hesitation,he took out what he had stolen.Mr.Carr said,"Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison."
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in,eyes burning with anger.But,to his surprise,she arrived wearing a smile."Hello,I'm Alfred's mother.Is he in trouble?"she said.Mr.Carr was surprised,too.He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously,shaking with fear,asking with wet eyes for a pardon for her son.But no,she was calm,quiet and pleasant and was making Mr.Carr feel guilty.Soon Mr.Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying."You are right"he said,"Sometimes,a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life,and it often takes the youth long time to get sense into their heads."And he warmly shook Mrs.Higgins's hand.
Back home,without even looking at Alfred,the mother said,"You are a bad luck.It is one thing after another,always has been.Why do you stand there so stupidly?Go to bed."In his bedroom,Alfred just took pride in his mother's strength.He felt he must tell her how great she was.As he got to the kitchen,he was shocked by what he saw.His mother was lifting the tea cup,her hand shook,her face became a frightened,broken one.It was no longer cool,bright as he saw earlier in the store.With her lips moving nervously,she looked so old.
Alfred watched his mother and he want to cry.He realized all the troubles he brought to his mother.It seemed that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother,especially shaking hands and the deep lines of worry in her gray face.He knew his youth coming to an end.

分析 文章講述Alfred在商店偷了東西后,媽媽的反應(yīng)和做法,以及回家后媽媽的態(tài)度,母親前后的表現(xiàn)觸動了Alfred,他認(rèn)識到了自己的錯從此改變了生活態(tài)度.

解答 61.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段:But no,she was most calm,quiet and pleasant and was making Mr.Carr feel guilty….可知是媽媽的平靜,安靜和愉快讓Carr先生感到內(nèi)疚,故選C.
62.C推理判斷題.根據(jù)to his surprise,she arrived wearing a smile.But no,she was most calm,quiet and pleasant and was making Mr.Carr feel guilty可知當(dāng)時Mrs.Higgins的態(tài)度和表情,她并沒有當(dāng)著Mr.Carr的面責(zé)備兒子而是給兒子留了面子,C項符合當(dāng)時語境,故選C.
63.A猜測詞義題.根據(jù)下一句:He felt he must tell her how great she was他覺得他必須告訴她她是多么偉大可以推斷出此處應(yīng)該是:他沒有羞恥,只為他母親的力量感到驕傲.所謂的力量指的是Alfred Higgins為母親的鎮(zhèn)靜和交際才能而感到自豪,故選A.
64.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段:Back home,without even looking at Alfred,the mother said,"You are a bad luck.It is one thing after another,always has been.Why do you stand there so stupidly?Go to bed可知媽媽沒有表現(xiàn)出什么.再根據(jù)His mother was lifting the tea cup,her hand shook,her face became a frightened,broken one.It was no longer cool,bright as he saw earlier in the store.可知是媽媽躲在廚房里,從一系列舉動來看可知內(nèi)心很焦急,表現(xiàn)出對孩子很關(guān)心但在孩子面前從來不顯露什么,故選D.
65.B推理判斷題.根據(jù)The picture of his mother made him want to cry.He felt his youth coming to an end.He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face.可知這件事對young Alfred觸動很大,此后他會逐漸成熟改變以前的生活態(tài)度.故選B.

2.Are you a gourmand(美食主義者)?Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world?Then do you watch the popular program?"A Bite of China(舌尖上的中國)"is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television.Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food?Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures,and China is no exception(例外).The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new.After a baby is born,parents may hold a"red egg and ginger party,"where they pass out eggs to announce the birth.In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child,for example,an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl,and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.
    Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture.They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries.Since noodles represent long life,it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
    Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate,in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness.In fact,at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last,pointed toward the valued guest.Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish,yu,sounds like the word for richness or plenty,and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
    A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi.This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat,peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves.The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man,Qu Yuan.
    The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.

In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea.Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots.In summer,many Americans drink cold tea---"iced tea".Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans,like soda.

6.When you sleep somewhere else-like at a summer camp or a friend's house,you know you're in for a fun time.It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house.But fun as this is,for some kids being away from home can be scary and sad.It's called being homesick.
Homesick means you are upset,sad,and maybe scared.But don't feel surprised.A lot of people get homesick,even grown-ups.When you're used to having certain people around you,it can be scary when they are gone.When you are dealing with other problems,you will feel homesick,too.Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents get divorced ( 離婚)or if someone they loved has recently died.

Bring a little bit of home with you.If you're going away from home,bring your pillow or pictures of the people you will be apart from and look at them any time you want.
Keep busy.The more fun things you do,the less time you'll have to feel homesick.So try to join in activities wherever you are.
Stay in touch.You can make a plan for when you will call your mum or dad.You can also send e-mails or text messages to keep in touch with family and friends.When you do get in touch with someone,make sure to talk about the fun things you're doing!
