  • 第3题：

    I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother."But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizaheth."
    I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in acdou. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
    As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she ebose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and l could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
    Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
    What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking forgiveness?

    A.She had never received the letter.
    B.For years, she often talked about the letter.
    C.She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.

    Oseola McCarty

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
    generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

    When her generosity was made ________.
    A:people donated billions
    B:hundreds of students got scholarships
    C:hundreds of people put money into the fund
    D:she was sent to university

    解析：
    本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
    由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。

    A:dependence
    B:confidence
    C:certainty
    D:courage

    答案：B

    考查情态动词。根据句意“哥哥将永远不再回来了吗？”有“应该”“应”意思的B,D选项被排除。只有would有将要的意思，符合句意。故选C。

    此句表达的是Helen非常急切地想知道她的哥哥到底发生了什么事的一种 “急切的好奇的”感觉，故四个选项中只有curiosity最贴切，故选C。
    become of sb./sth.…是短语，意为“发生某种情况；遭遇……”。故选A。
    根据上下文可知，Martin在没有任何征兆的情况下就失去了工作。A项 caution指“警察的口头警告”，C项advice意为“劝告，忠告”,D项signal意为“信号，暗号”，只有B项warning有“征兆，前兆”之意。故选B。
    此句意为“在某种程度上他俩不会因为彼此联系或不联系而烦扰”，其中A 项mind意为“介意”,B项concern意为“担心，担忧”；C项worry意为“使担心，使焦虑”，只有 D项bother有“烦扰”之意。故选D。
    此句表达的是Helen对自己的判断的“信心”渐渐增加。A项dependence 意为“依靠、依赖”；C项certainty意为“确定性，无疑”；D项courage意为“勇气，胆量”；B项 confidence可与介词in搭配，意为“对……有信心”。故选B。

    gain意再些获得，博得”,reach意为“达到”,start意为“开始”,open意为“打开”，此句表达Helen很快声名鹊起。故选A。
    考查介词搭配。此处意为“……而且她的画作足以维持生活”。live for意为“盼望，为……而生活”；live by意为“以……为生”；live with意为“忍受，承认”；而live on意为“靠……生活”，与句意相符。故选D。

    soft意为“柔软的”,fine意为“好的”,quiet意为“暗中的，未表露的”,still 意为“静止的，不动的”。此句表达Helen的那种未言语的欣慰之情，故选C。

    Oseola McCarty

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
    generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

    She gave her money away because________.
    A:she wanted to help the university
    B:she wanted others to have the chance to become nurses
    C:she wanted others to have the opportunity to escape a hard life
    D:she wanted to he remembered after her death

    答案：C
    解析：
    本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
    由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。

    问答题
    Practice 7　　When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.

    当玛丽·劳诺克斯被送到米瑟斯威特庄园,和她舅舅一起生活的时候,每个人都说她是他们见过的长相最令人不舒服孩子。这也对,玛丽有着消瘦的脸蛋、单薄的身体、薄薄的头发和一副不高兴的表情。她的头发是黄色的,由于出生在印度并且总是因为这样或那样的原因而生病,她的脸蛋也显得那么蜡黄。玛丽的父亲在英国政府中有份工作,经常很忙也时不时地生病,她的母亲是个大美人,只关心各种聚会以及和一些男人们寻欢作乐。玛丽的母亲从来没有想过要一个小女孩,当玛丽出生后,她就把她交给奶妈来照顾,奶妈知道,如果她想让女主人高兴的话,她就必须尽可能地把这个孩子带离她的视线。所以,当玛丽还是个多病、爱哭、难看的小婴孩时,她就被带离大人们的视线。当玛丽长成为一个多病、爱哭、蹒跚学步的小孩时,她还是被带离大人们的视线。除了奶妈和其他印度仆人的黑脸,玛丽从没记得见过任何熟悉的东西。因为女主人会被她的哭声打扰到而生气,所以奶妈和仆人们非常顺从玛丽,让她为所欲为。当玛丽长到6岁时,她像一头小猪那样乖戾而自私。来教她阅读和书写的年轻英语家庭女教师非常不喜欢玛丽,三个月后就放弃了这份工作,而后来试图教她的家庭教师也总是干不到第一位那么长的时间就离开了。所以如果不是玛丽自己真的想要读书的话,恐怕她连自己的名字也不会写。
