Question

I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye : Queen City Casket Company . “What is it ?” I wondered . I   36     it over . There , in faded ink , was a hand-scrawled（手寫的）   37     . Immediately my mind traveled     38    many years .

I was nine years old , walking down the cold , wet streets of Springfield , with a bag of magazines on my shoulder . On my    39     that day , I came to that Company finally , whose owner , Mr Rader , had always taken me there to ask his workers    40     they wanted any magazines .

Shaking off the     41    like a wet dog , I entered Mr Rader’s office . After a quick glance he     42    me over to the fire-place . Noticing the     43    in the top of my     44    , he said , “ Come with me !” pulling me into his pickup    45     . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store . Inside , a salesman    46     me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had    47     seen . I     48    about 10 feet tall when I got up    49     them . “ We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said .

Back in his office , Mr Rader took out a     50    , wrote something on it , and handed it to me . With    51     eyes , I read , “ Do to others as you would have them do to you .” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy , I want you to    52     I love you”.

I said good-bye , and for the first time I    53     a flicker of hope that somehow things would be    54     . With people like Mr Rader in the world , there was hope , kindness and love , and that would always make a    55     .

Answer 1

36---55     CCDBC   DAABA   BADDC   ABACD 

解析:

36 C

 turn over把翻過來。作者看到的是一張卡片，卡片的一面注有地址，要想看到內容，得把它翻過來。

37 C

 根據后文，Mr Rader在卡片上寫的是送給作者的贈言。address地址；list目錄；information消息，信息。

38 D

 作者見到這張卡片，思緒又回到了從前。forward或ahead如指時間，應往后推。

39 B

 根據下文提示可知，作者當時的工作是賣雜志，應來回沿街叫賣。

40 C

 作者是賣雜志的，Mr Rader幫作者詢問他的工人是否需要雜志。

41 D

 根據第二段首句和空格后面的wet dog可推出答案。

42 A

 作者是在Mr Rader的辦公室，當時又冷又潮，故Mr Rader把他帶到爐火旁取暖。

43 A

 下文提到Mr Rader給作者買的是一雙鞋和襪子，因此可推測作者的鞋子壞了。

44 B

 根據下文Mr Rader給作者買的東西可推出答案。

45 A

 pick up皮卡；一種小型貨車。

46 B

 dress給……穿衣服；show展示；comfort安慰；fit…with給……提供。服務員給我拿出了一雙很好的鞋。

47 A

 Mr Rader給作者買的鞋子是作者那時曾經見過的最好的鞋子。

48 D

 這是作者當時曾經見過的最好的鞋子，又非常適合他，穿上一定感到比穿那雙已經壞了的鞋要舒服很多。

49 D

 本題考查在特定語境下使用介詞的能力。in …穿著……。

50 C

 根據第一段首句可得知答案。

51 A

 Mr Rader給了作者無私的幫助，令作者非常感動。

52 B

 admit承認；consider認為，考慮；express表達。如用這三個詞與作者所要表達的感情不符。

53 A

 作者當時的生活條件很差，九歲就沿街賣雜志，Mr Rader對他無私的幫助讓他感到生活又充滿了希望。

54 C

 此處意思為：一切事情都會好起來的。

55 D

 世界上有Mr Rader這樣的好心人，就會有希望，生活就會出現轉機，有所不同。
