試題分析:在文中作者通過回憶往事,講述了父親的對他的影響。無論面對什么困難,父親都一貫保持著樂觀的態(tài)度,用自己的愛心和勤勞為家人支撐起一片天空。因此作者也變得更富有同情心,也知道去關(guān)心體貼他人了。
小題1:C名詞辨析。A.教師;B. 園丁;C.農(nóng)民;D. 雜貨商。從下文After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field,可以判斷父親是個(gè)農(nóng)民,所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題2:D形容詞辨析。A. 暴風(fēng)雨的  B. 生動(dòng)的C. 消失的D. 灼熱的。根據(jù)On one of those hot mornings和下文的干旱可以判斷D為正確選項(xiàng)。
小題3:A名詞辨析。A.訂單;. 形式,表格;C.代溝;D. 位置。下文作者說 “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves.”由此可以判斷商店向父親訂購的甜玉米,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題4:B副詞辨析。A. 重復(fù)地;B.正常地;C. 最后;D.真正地。根據(jù)上下文語境可知摘五十打玉米一般情況下需要20分鐘,所以選B。
小題5:A動(dòng)詞辨析。A.進(jìn)展;B. 開始;  C.發(fā)生;    D.改變。由下文可知那天用了40分鐘還沒摘夠玉米,所以事情進(jìn)展不是很快。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題6:B副詞辨析。A. 然而;B. 仍然;C.甚至;D. 幾乎。從上下文可知摘了40分鐘后,還差10打,所以應(yīng)該用“仍然”表示沒有完成任務(wù)。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
小題7:C形容詞辨析。A.驚訝的;B.緊張的; C. 生氣的;D害怕的。根據(jù)下文作者的動(dòng)作和語言Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves.”可以推斷作者感覺很生氣,故C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題8:D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 道歉;B.哭喊;C. 抱怨;D.笑。從下文對父親樂觀性格的描述可以推測父親當(dāng)時(shí)的表現(xiàn)應(yīng)該也是很樂觀,應(yīng)該是笑著對作者說話,所以D選項(xiàng)正確。
小題9:B動(dòng)詞辨析。A.丟失的; B.結(jié)束了的;C. 離去的;D. 受觸動(dòng)的。根據(jù)上文作者的講述可知這是最后的20打玉米,所以摘完這些工作就做完了,故選B。

小題11:C副詞辨析。A. 感激地;B.滿懷希望地;C. 不幸地;D.奇怪地。從后句the disastrous (災(zāi)難性的) effects of the drought were felt all over our county.可知全國性的大災(zāi)難對每個(gè)人都是不幸地,所以選C。
小題12:D連詞辨析。A或者;B. 因?yàn)椋籆所以;  D. 但是。從語境可知在面對艱難困苦時(shí),父親保持樂觀的態(tài)度,前后句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

小題18:A介詞短語辨析。A盡管;B. 就…而言;C.控制;D取代。前句講父親never fails to cheer me on at my sports games和后面his exhaustion after long days.應(yīng)該是一種讓步關(guān)系,意思為不顧一天后的疲勞,他總是會(huì)出現(xiàn)在我的運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)上為我鼓勁加油。
小題19:C形容詞辨析。A. 仔細(xì)的B.后悔的;C. 體貼的;D. 幽默的。從語境推測父親的行為影響了我 ,而且句中sympathetic 和putting others first也提示后面應(yīng)該是表示相同意思的褒義詞,所以C選項(xiàng)正確。句意:他的愛心和無私的性格也激勵(lì)了我, 使我也變得富有同情心和為他人著想了。

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a good and tireless writer, and he wrote The Declaration of Independence. There is much we can learn from him. Here are some of the things he said and wrote:
Go and see. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books, and personal investigation is important as well.
Judge for yourself. Jefferson refused to accept other people’s opinions without careful thought. “Neither believe nor reject anything,” he wrote to his nephew.
Learn from everyone. Jefferson once visited the French nobleman, Lafayette, and said to him, “You must go into the people’s home as I have done ,look into their cooking pots and eat their bread. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied. ”
Do what you believe is right. In a free country, there will always be conflicting ideas, and this is a source of strength. It is not unquestioning agreement but conflict that keeps freedom alive. Though Jefferson was for many years the object of strong criticism, he never answered his critics. He expressed his philosophy, “There are two sides to every question. If you take one side with decision and act on it with effect, those who take the other side will of course resent(憎惡)your actions. ”
Trust the future and trust the young. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. “The earth belongs to the living generation. ” He didn’t fear new ideas, nor did he fear the future. “How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened?” he remarked,“I expect the best, not the worst. ”
小題1:The author mentioned Jefferson’s visit to Lafayette to show______.
A.Jefferson was dissatisfied with Lafayette
B.Jefferson had a close relationship with his people
C.Jefferson was a great American president
D.Jefferson valued the importance of learning from others
小題2:Jefferson was determined never to answer his critics because______.
A.he believed silence was a source of strength
B.he thought it useless to defend obviously correct ideas
C.he believed in conflict rather than in unquestioning agreement
D.he knew the more he said ,the more people would resent him
小題3:What would be the best title of the passage?
A.Jefferson’s Great WorksB.Jefferson’s Philosophy
C.Jefferson’s TeachingD.Jefferson's Life Story

In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service,no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.
Their hamburgers were sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性), for the brothers had developed a strict routine(程序)for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundred during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.
Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954 when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特許經(jīng)營)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate(復(fù)制) the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings the golden arches(拱門).

A.a(chǎn) drive-inB.a(chǎn) theater
C.a(chǎn) cinemaD.a(chǎn) barbecue restaurant
小題3: We may infer from this passage that ___.
A.Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy, for they sold their ideas to Kroc
B.the place the McDonald brothers chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in
C.forty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurants

I’d always dreamed of exploring Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan(《人猿泰山》)comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari(東非游獵)and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania’s minister of water and wildlife development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I toured the school, I was shocked. The leaky(漏的)roofs turned the dirt floors into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn’t keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆蟲). The school was in need of all material goods, but the kids possessed great human spirit.
It broke my heart that these children had to struggle to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we’ve grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 schoolchildren every day. The free lunch program has eased a major problem the youngsters face.
I know a good education could really make a difference in these children’s lives. My parents always stressed the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and businesspeople. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.
It’s amazing that something as simple as a nutritious lunch can change and enrich so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can inspire them to go all the way through college and lead a movement that transforms their country.

It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along   36  the song playing on the radio. I   37  at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was   38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came   39  at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾馳) past my dead car   40  me by inches without even slowing down.
  41  I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,   42  after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me   43 . With a red face and a(an)   44  smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain   45  words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the   46   over and over in his mind. Too   47  I realized the   48  of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of   49 . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the   50  of that incident.
That   51  , however, did teach me just how strong words   52  be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒罵) in my own life and to start using words that uplift and inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a   53  from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned    54  that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a   55  spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.
