I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I ____ on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my ugly, sightless, cloudy grey eye lived on ____ me.

    Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (使人難堪的) questions. Whenever the kids played ____, I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on me.

    Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that ____.

    As a child, I thought mum meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or run into something ____ because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to ____ my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.

    In high school I even became the ____, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would ____ to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is ____ instead of your appearance (外貌).”

    My mum's love was the ____ that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be ____ but also to have deep compassion (同情) for others.

【解析】

試題分析:這篇短文講述的是作者因?yàn)樾r(shí)候的一次意外使自己的眼睛受到了傷害,而且外貌變得丑陋。作者一度心情非常低落,對(duì)自己的生活失去了信心。但是在媽媽的鼓勵(lì)下,作者開始變得自信起來,也知道了如何去同情他人。

1.考查動(dòng)及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:我落到了一塊玻璃上,眼睛受到了嚴(yán)重的傷害。stood 原形stand, 站;land 著陸;found 原形是find,發(fā)現(xiàn),找到;work工作。這里是說小時(shí)候作者摔了一跤,跌到了玻璃上,故這里應(yīng)該用land表示落到地上的意思。故選B。

2.考查介及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:從那以后,我的丑陋的、無光的、灰色的眼睛就一直伴隨著我。for 為了,因?yàn)椋籰ike 做介詞時(shí)是像的意思;by 通過……方式,乘坐;with和,伴隨著。根據(jù)句意這里是說自從摔了一跤之后,作者的眼睛就變得非常的丑陋了。故選D。

3.考查名及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:當(dāng)孩子們一起玩游戲的時(shí)候,我就是怪物的角色。games 游戲;jokes 玩笑,笑話;toys 玩具;sports運(yùn)動(dòng)。這里是說作者和小朋友們一起玩游戲的時(shí)候,因?yàn)樽髡叱舐难劬,他總是來扮演怪物的角色。故選A。

4.考查名及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:然而媽媽對(duì)我說:“抬起頭來,面對(duì)這個(gè)世界!,我開始依賴媽媽的這句話。glass 玻璃;topic 主題;reply 回復(fù);saying話,諺語(yǔ)。這里是作者對(duì)媽媽說的話產(chǎn)生了依賴,故應(yīng)該選D。

5.考查副及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:小心點(diǎn),否則你會(huì)摔倒,你不看著會(huì)撞上東西的。immediately 立刻,馬上;accidentally 意外的;continuously 持續(xù)的;expectedly 預(yù)期的,果然。根據(jù)文意小時(shí)候,媽媽總是會(huì)囑咐孩子小心,別意外的摔倒,撞到東西上。故選B。

6.考查動(dòng)及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:在我十幾歲的時(shí)候,我總是低頭向下看,把自己的羞辱隱藏起來。這里是作者因?yàn)樽约旱南嗝渤舐械阶员,所以總是低著頭,把臉藏起來。show 展示;meet 遇見;behave 行為舉止;hide隱藏。根據(jù)文意可知選D。

7.考查名及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:在中學(xué)里,我甚至成了班長(zhǎng),但是在我的內(nèi)心里仍然覺得自己像個(gè)怪物。president 班長(zhǎng);teacher 老師;teenager 青少年;adult成年人。這里是作者在念中學(xué)的時(shí)候,所以不可能是老師或成年人。根據(jù)常理,在念中學(xué)時(shí),作者應(yīng)該就是十幾歲的青少年,故C也不對(duì)。故選A。

8.考查動(dòng)及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:在事情變得很糟糕的時(shí)候,我會(huì)對(duì)媽媽哭泣,這時(shí),媽媽會(huì)用慈愛的眼睛看著我說,“抬起頭來,面對(duì)這個(gè)世界”。write 寫;add 增加;cry 哭;face面對(duì)。根據(jù)文意,當(dāng)情況變得糟糕的時(shí)候,作者的心情肯定不好,會(huì)更加的自卑,故會(huì)對(duì)媽媽哭泣,故選C。

9.考查介及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:讓別人看到你內(nèi)心的美麗,而不只是看到你的外貌。這里的inside 是內(nèi)心,內(nèi)里的意思,是相對(duì)于后面的appearance外貌而言的,雖然作者的外貌丑陋,但是內(nèi)心是美的。beside 在...旁邊;outside 外邊,外部;inside 里面,內(nèi)部;alongside在...側(cè)面。故選C。

10.考查名及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:媽媽的愛是照亮我的世界的陽(yáng)光。根據(jù)句中made me bright,可知這里應(yīng)該是sunshine,陽(yáng)光。suggestion 建議;experience 經(jīng)驗(yàn),經(jīng)歷;sunshine 陽(yáng)光;introduction 介紹。故選C。

11.考查形容語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:在經(jīng)歷了艱難的時(shí)刻后,我不僅學(xué)會(huì)了自信,而且也知道了同情他人。confident 自信;unusual 不尋常的;similar 相似的;ordinary 普通的。這里是作者在媽媽的鼓勵(lì)下逐漸學(xué)會(huì)了自信,不再自卑。故選A。

12.考查代及語(yǔ)境的理解。句意:“抬起頭來”這句話經(jīng)?梢栽谖业募依锫牭,我把它告訴給了我的孩子們。媽媽給我的這個(gè)禮物會(huì)一直的傳下去。it 它;them 他們;that 那個(gè);those那些。這里的it 指的是媽媽對(duì)作者說的話。故選A。

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She said, “Victor and Elizabeth, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her so much. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university(大學(xué)). I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met Professor Waldman. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor and other important scientists helped me. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years. After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast(桅桿)about 150 metres high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
【小題1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Elizabeth married shortly after Victor’s mother died.
B.Elizabeth was a brave girl who loved Victor and gave him much help.
C.Victor’s mother was very angry when she knew he loved Elizabeth.
D.Victor did not want to leave his family because his mother died not long before.
【小題2】Victor did all the following during his research in the university EXCEPT that ______.
A.he discovered many things and built a scientific machine
B.he learnt much about death both in the hospital and in the university
C.he worked hard and took only one day’s holiday during the next two years
