解析1. D kept是keep的過去式，keep doing sth表示總是做某事。史密斯先生不想搬，但他的妻子總是告訴他他的收入不能維持收支平衡。
2.      A 考查固定搭配，meet the needs of family滿足家庭的需要。
3.      B 此處考查定語(yǔ)從句，where指的是上文提到的地點(diǎn)in Boston.
4.      C此處用了far來(lái)修飾比較級(jí)，意思是說(shuō)收入更低。
5.      B既然是公司的老板，這里就是說(shuō)他是這個(gè)公司的管理人員，也就是經(jīng)理，而不是顧客什么的。
6.      A現(xiàn)在分詞ing作定語(yǔ)，修飾后面的computers,表示生產(chǎn)電腦。
7.      B從后文知道這個(gè)公司有它自己的麻煩，its是it的所有格。
8.      C這里指日本的公司的商品價(jià)格很低，所以才會(huì)讓史密斯的公司有麻煩。
9.      B固定搭配，cut the price表示降低價(jià)格。日本公司價(jià)格低，他只好讓自己的產(chǎn)品也降價(jià)。
10.  B get the orders表示接到訂單，也是一個(gè)固定搭配。本句說(shuō)如果不降低他自己的價(jià)格和利益，他就不能接到訂單。
11.  C此處表示的意思是：即使這樣，依然不然快的接到訂單。Still依然，依舊。
12.  C因?yàn)闆]到多少訂單，所以導(dǎo)致工作拿不到工資。So that表示因此。
13.  B struggle along表示沿著…掙扎,艱難行進(jìn)，指史密斯在進(jìn)行著艱難著經(jīng)營(yíng)著。
14.  A固定搭配。keep one’s best指讓某人保持一個(gè)最好的狀態(tài)，這里是說(shuō)史密斯保持著他最好的狀態(tài)來(lái)經(jīng)營(yíng)。
15.  B just then就在這時(shí)候，也是一個(gè)固定的搭配。
16.  D根據(jù)上下文知道，史密斯想盡快見到他的老板，see表示見到，會(huì)面。
17.  C由again再一次可知，他又嘆氣了，因這上文提到過一次sighed.
18.  此處是說(shuō)Henry Manley能夠預(yù)料到關(guān)于史密斯將要說(shuō)的內(nèi)容，expect表示預(yù)料。
19.  A此句意思：如果不能吸引像史密斯這樣的人，公司就沒有將來(lái)。
20.  C Henry Manley揉了揉前額，好像他的問題永遠(yuǎn)沒有終結(jié)。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解

My school makes students take one religion (宗教) class every year. But religion is really hard, especially with Mr Frank Smith for a teacher.

Mr Smith is 55 years old, with grey hair and a moustache (胡子). He always wears a blue school T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with long white socks. My friends say he looks like a cat.

In his class, we did yoga (瑜珈) and meditation (冥想) (actually most of the children in my class lay on the ground sleeping), tasted some strange tea, had classes outside in the garden, and watched videos and movies about Tibetan Buddhism (藏傳佛教), God, and so on.

It was fun sometimes. However, the course (課程) was quite hard when it came to tests. The girls often worked until one or two o'clock in the morning on nights before the tests, but they still got bad scores.

When our test scores were bad, he would give us some makeup assignments (補(bǔ)考作業(yè)). Once I got a B, which I thought was bad, so I asked Mr Smith for an assignment to bring up my grades.

As a matter of fact, his assignments were often worse than the tests. The tests were just a lot of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or short essays (文章). But his assignments usually included a speech in class.

I was not afraid of public speaking, yet it took me three days to collect the information, two days to write the speech, one day to make a PowerPoint and several hours to prepare. I knew my presentation (課堂展示) was good, because I saw Mr Smith's big smile when he listened to me. He gave me an A at last.

After finishing the course, I may not remember how hard it was or the meaning of some vocabulary. But through Mr Smith, I learned a lesson that will be with me my whole life. That is: no matter what we do, we need to put our hearts into it, and then our work will pay off.

The religion class is hard because Mr Smith _______.

A. uses strange ways to teach in his class.

B. never gives good scores, however hard you try.

C. gives difficult tests and make-up assignments.

D. likes students to make good presentations.

How could students get good scores in Mr. Smith’s class?

A. Work hard by studying late into the night.                  

B. Remember all of the vocabulary.

C. Pay attention and take notes in class.                              

D. Do well on the make-up assignment.

From the course, the writer learned that ____.

A. people should always be given a second chance

B. people should always put their hearts into their work

C. it is good to do yoga and meditation             

D. it is good to choose strict teacher
