He read everything about      a mango tree. He got up early every morning, for he was determined to supply the tree with all the necessary nutrients. He watered it,      it with manure（糞肥），and took good care of its leaves by removing those      ones. He made sure the tree received enough care.

Many times he sat and      the beauty of the growing tree while dreaming about the      mangos that the tree would     . His mind was always filled with the wish to taste the first fruit of the tree.

Years went by     …Now, he had a big tree with its leaves shining and healthy, its bark（樹皮）healthy and hard. It was a big attraction      it decorated his whole garden.

Then one day he noticed a small bud（花蕾）,which in a couple of days grew into a beautiful     .Now he could hardly wait for the fruit, so he started to      his supply of nutrients and care. Then one day the tree let out its first product—a small green fruit. The man was so     .

He waited for a few more weeks till the fruit grew in     .The day came when he decided to      the first fruit of the tree. He      the tree, picked the fruit and then came his     .The fruit was not like what he expected. It was hard, big and round. He was puzzled. He was sad.

Seeing this, his      came and asked him what happened. He told them that the fruit from his tree was not what he wanted. When the neighbors heard this, they did not know whether to      or comfort him, for what he planted years ago was not a mango tree. We can only reap（收獲）what we plant.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一個人花了很多的心思種植一棵芒果樹，澆水，施肥。但是最后這棵樹上結(jié)出的果實味道很差，原來這棵樹根本就不是芒果樹。

1.C 名詞辨析。A城市B農(nóng)場C市場D商店；要想購買芒果樹這樣的物品，，應(yīng)該到專門的市場上。C正確。

2.C 動詞辨析。A生長B移動C種植D扔；芒果樹買回來以后自然是要種下去的。故C符合上下文。

3.A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)21空后的it decorated his whole garden可知他是把樹種在自己家的花園里的。

4.D 動詞辨析。A購買B改善C保持D養(yǎng)育；他閱讀了所有與養(yǎng)育芒果有關(guān)的樹，決心把這顆樹養(yǎng)好。

5.D 動詞辨析。A裝飾B配備C服務(wù)D提供；本句是指他給這棵樹提供了足夠的肥料。Supply sbb with sth提供某人某物。

6.D 考察常識。樹的葉子黃了，說明這些葉子要掉了，那么把這些葉子去掉。故yellow符合上下文。

7.A 動詞辨析。A欣賞，欽佩B畫C問候D操作；很多次他坐在樹下面在欣賞著美麗的景色。

8.D 形容詞辨析。A有益的B昂貴的C健康的D可口的；他在欣賞美麗的景色，在夢想品嘗著可口的芒果。

9.A 動詞辨析。A生成，忍受B爆發(fā)C應(yīng)得D生成；本句中的bear是指芒果樹結(jié)出的可口的果實。

10.B 副詞辨析。A立刻B迅速C勉強(qiáng)地D突然；本句是指時間過得很快，一年一年很快地地過去了。

11.A 上下文串聯(lián)。后句講因為這棵樹裝點了整個花園，所以它很吸引人。與前面這句話構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。

12.A 上下文串聯(lián)。上句中出現(xiàn)了a small bud（花蕾），有了花蕾，那么接下來就應(yīng)該是開花了。

13.B 動詞辨析。A上升B增加C減少D下降；為了讓這課樹快點結(jié)出果實，他增加了肥料的用量。

14.B 上下文串聯(lián)。A貪婪的B開心的C緊張的D悲傷的；看到精心培育的這棵樹結(jié)出了果實，他很開心。

15.C 名詞辨析。A年齡B長度C大小尺寸D寬度；本句是指他一直等到這個果子長大。

16.D 動詞辨析。A觀察B出售C偷D品嘗；果實長大的那一天終于到了，他決定品嘗這個果子。D正確。

17.A 動詞辨析。A爬B砍C躲藏D殺死；要想吃到果子，他必修得爬上樹，摘下這個果實。

18.C 名詞辨析。A焦慮B歡呼C失望D觀點；根據(jù)下句The fruit was not like what he expected.可知這個果子并不如他預(yù)料的那么好吃，他很失望。

19.C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)下句When the neighbors heard this,可知他的鄰居看到這種情況，過來看看發(fā)生什么事情。

20.A 動詞辨析。A抱怨B嘲笑C激勵D支持；本句中的complain與后面的comfort形成呼應(yīng)。鄰居不知道是該抱怨還是安慰他。因為他種的根本就不是芒果樹。

If you want to keep healthy, you should have good habits. What is a habit? It is something we do very often. We don’t even think when we do it. It has become a part of our lives.
“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” This is an old English saying. Do you know what it means? It means that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy, rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. We know the body must have enough sleep. Boys and girls need eight or nine hours’ sleep every day.
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is a very bad habit. Then you will not think or do your work well. Of course, you can’t be healthy, wealthy or wise.
When we get up early in the morning, we can go out and do morning exercises. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running jumping, swimming, and playing ball games are all exercise. If we don’t exercise, our body will become weak.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside our body. Blood takes food to all parts of our body.

Work is a part of living —my grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs , pigs and cattle for meat . Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.
The Depression, therefore, didn’t make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “There’s a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷倉). I’ve been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”
Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didn’t say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me.
Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn I’ve been meaning to get it moved. It’d sure be a help to me . And we’d be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.
Grandma says she doesn’t remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.
【小題1】When he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that         .

A．he had found a good job
B．he would have something to eat
C．he would no longer suffer from the Depression
D．he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect
【小題2】The writer’s grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because     .
A．he didn’t want them to have a meal free of charge
B．he had been needing to get it moved
C．he wanted to help them in his own way
D．he wanted to show them his kindness and respect
【小題3】The writer’s grandfather was all of the following but         .
A．kind B．thoughtful C．wealthy D．sympathetic
【小題4】The best title for the story would be         .
A．The DepressionB．The Pleasure of Helping Others
C．No Pains, No Gains D．Work-A Part of Living

Some people live in the world for body while others for dignity(尊嚴(yán)).

Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Day together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 檔位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stub­born 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Jenny
1.How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?

2.We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_________.

D．She had never seen him driving so slowly before.

4.Jenny wrote his father this letter to _________

A．tell him about their conflicts????????????? B．say sorry for her being stubborn
