这是一篇记叙文。作者出生于一个贫穷的单亲家庭,然而在母亲的帮助与教导下,他克服了重重困难,从后进生一跃名列前茅,成为优秀生,并实现了自己的梦想,成为了一名医生。这一成功的事例说明:在教育子女上,父母才是最好的老师。
36.A 从下文可知,我小时候就开始有了信念。
1
37.C 接着指出是什么信念,梦想成为一名医生。
38.C 据母亲观察,成功人士花在阅读上的时间要比在看电视上多得多。 39.D 此处使用did 代替前文的spent, 避免重复。
40.A 由announced 得知,我和弟弟每周只能看三到四个预先挑选好的电视节目。
41.B 由上下文可知,母亲非常严厉。我们每人必须阅读从底特律公共图书馆借来的两本书,还要上交读书心得。present sth. to sb.把某物呈交给某人。
42.D 由My mother was illiterate.得知,此处是一个计谋。
43.A 由but 推测出:读中学时,我曾是个优等生,但好景不长。 44.B 原因是:图漂亮衣服,想和别人出去闲荡。hang out 闲荡。
45.C 由下文scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms可知,此处意为:母亲干完各种活儿回到家。working 在此用作及物动词,意为:完成,干完。
46.D 此处是buy sb.sth.的结构。意为:由你来替这个家买伙食、付账单。
47.A 此处是―with + 宾语+ 宾补‖结构。money 与leave 之间是被动关系。剩下的钱你都拿去买意大利针织衫吧。 48.B 因为由自己理财并从中想赚一点钱,很显然,这样的决定让我开心不已。。 49.D 由but 可知并非如我所愿。但当我把该花的钱都分配完毕,手里已分文不剩。
50.C 我的母亲不愧是个理财能手,她能让我们有地方住、有各样的食物吃,更不用说买衣服了。keep a roof over one‘s head有地方住;put an idea into one‘s head使想起;gave an impression on留下印象;have eyes in the back of one‘s head多留心不露声色。
51.A let alone更不用说;let out 使放出;let in 使进入;leave alone 不理会,不理睬。
52.C 通过这件事,我还意识到,一时的满足并不会给我带来什么成就,而成功需要智力上的准备。于是我又发奋努力学习。
53.B 最终我实现了自己当医生的梦想。fulfill 履行工作,完成任务,达到愿望。

They don‘t act in the __37__ ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, ―I love you‖ is too __38__ for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine‘s Day is even more out of __39__. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. ―Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there __40__ between you and Dad?‖ I asked her in a very low voice. She didn‘t answer immediately. She __41__ her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had _42_ her. I was _43__ and I didn‘t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
―Susan,‖ she said thoughtfully, ―Look at this thread.Sometimes it __44_, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt __45__. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen __46_, but it‘s really there. Love is __47__.‖
I listened carefully but I __48__ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly __49_ seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __50 _. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father __51__ on the country road.
―Dad, how are you feeling now?‖ I asked him one day.
―Susan, don‘t __52__ me.‖ he said gently. ―To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.‖__53__ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

爱就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻吗?作者通过亲身经历,终于明白,爱不是表面上的浪漫的亲吻,而是内在的情感。虽不能随时随地看到它,但是它却实实在在地存在着,使生活变得坚固而温暖。
36.C 由in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me可知是为了挣钱。 37.B 他们从未像我在书中读到,或在电视中看到的那样浪漫。
38.D 从上下得知,说出―我爱你‖是太难了,而不是太简单、容易、轻松。
39.A out of the question是个固定短语,意为―亳无可能‖;out of question―有可能‖;out of reach (伸手)够不着;out of control 失控。
40.B 根据上下文,此处指―你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊‖。 41.D 因在缝被子,母亲低下头。
42.A 我担心伤害了她。伤害感情用―hurt‖。 43.B 我非常尴尬。
44.C 由下文的―disappear‖得知此处是―appear‖。句意为―苏珊,看看这些线。有时候,你能看得见,但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。‖
45.D 这些线使被子坚固耐用。
46.B 你不可能随时随地看到它,但是它却实实在在地存在着。 47.A 由上句推出:爱是内在的。
48.B 由下文until可知此处用否定式。以构成not … until…的句式。句意为:我仔细地听着,却无法明白她的话,直到来年的春天。
49.A 由My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.可知父亲突然得重病。get stuck困住;throw up呕吐;become disabled残疾。
50.B 此处指―脸色,气色‖。句意为:当他们从医院回来的时候,都显得非常苍白。
51.D (为了使父亲身体康复),他们回来之后,每天的清晨或黄昏,母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。 52.C 从上文Dad, how are you feeling now可知,此处有―担心‖之意。
3
53.A 英语中―看得出‖习惯上不用see。句意为:从他的眼神里,我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
54.C 四个选项中A、B、D与前面提到的―鲜花、礼物‖同类,只有C项不同类。句意为:我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。
55.A 由全文可知,但是从那一刻起,我明白了,爱情就像是生活中被子里的一根线。

He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family‘s cabin on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day __36__ the bass (鲈鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, __37__ sunfish with worms. Then he tied on a small lure (鱼饵) and practiced casting. When his pole __38__, he knew something huge was __39__. His father watched __40__ as the boy skilfully worked the fish alongside the dock. Finally, he very carefully lifted the __41__ fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, __42__ it was a bass. It was 10 P.M.-- two hours before the season opened. The father looked at the fish, then at the boy.
―You‘ll have to __43__, son,‖ he said. ―Dad!‖ cried the boy.
―There will be other fish,‖ said his father.
―Not as big as this one,‖ cried the boy.
__44__ no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could __45__ by his father‘s firm voice that the decision was __46__. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into __47__. The creature moved its powerful body and __48__. The boy thought that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. And he was __49__. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he __50__ that night long ago. But he does see __51__ fish again and again every time he comes up against a question of principles. As his father taught him, principles are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of principles__52__ difficult. Do we __53__ when no one is looking?

55.A.freshly B.fresh C.clearly D.strongly
这是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。通过与父亲一起钓鱼的一次亲身经历,小男孩受到了深刻的道德教育,从而影响了他的一生。道德是简单的对和错的问题,但要付诸行动却很难。尤其是在无人知晓的情况下,我们是否会自觉以道德的标准来衡量我们的言行呢?人应当以―诚实为本,道德至上‖。
36.B 由下文可知是鲈鱼季节开放的前。 37.B 他是去钓鱼而非其它。
38.A 当鱼杆向下弯的时候,他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。
39.A 在线的另一端。on the one hand, on the other hand 意为―一方面……;另一方面……‖ at the either side ―在任何一方‖。
40.C 小男孩钓鱼技巧纯熟,父亲看了眼神充满赞赏。 41.D 被钓着的鱼当然是筋疲力尽。
42.B 但他钓着的是一条鲈鱼。此处用but 表示转折,因为鲈鱼是禁止垂钓。 43.C ―你得把它放回去,孩子,‖他说道。此处指放回去。A、B、D项均不相符。
44.A even though 表示让步―即使‖;其句意为:即使没有人看到他们,更无从得知他们何时钓到了鱼。 45.A tell―分辨;辨别‖常与can, could, be able to 连用。
46.C 从父亲不可动摇的语气中,他知道这个决定没有商量余地。即―固定了的‖。
47.C the black water 意为―漆黑的水中‖。其句意为―他慢慢地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的唇上取下,然后蹲下将鱼放回水中‖。他在湖上钓鱼,不可能把鱼放回到河流或海里,更不是放入容器里。
48.B 鱼儿摆动着它强健的身躯,消失在水中。fled 逃跑;floated漂浮;swim游。 49.B 他猜得没错。此处肯定上文所说的事―他可能再也看不到这么大的鱼了‖ 50.A land 意为―将鱼钓上岸‖。saw指表示看见;cast洒网;threw投,掷。
51.D the same fish指被他自己钓着的那条鱼。但每次他面临道德难题而举棋不定的时候,他的眼前总是浮现出那条鱼。
52.C 此处是强调句型。意为:要付诸行动却很难。
53.B do right 做得对、得当。do wrong做得不对;do good做好事;do harm危害。此句意为―在没人瞧见的时候,我们是否仍始终如一,一丝不苟‖
54.A 由下文―For we would have learned the truth.‖可知此处是―被教给‖。意为:在我们还小的时候,如果有人要我们把鱼放回去,我们会这样做
55.B 此处是形容词作状语,表示状态。不能用副词。意为:正确的决定在我们的记忆里变得清新。

As the train approached the seaside town where I was going to spend my holidays, I went into the corridor to __36__ my legs. I stayed there a short while, breathing in the fresh sea air and __37__ a few words with one of the passengers, whom I had met earlier on the __38__. When I turned to go back to __39__, I happened to glance into the compartment (车厢) next to mine. Sitting there was a man who many years before had been my neighbor. He was a great __40__, I remembered; it used to take hours to __41__ him once he began a conversation. I was not at all __42__ when he went to live in another part of London. We had not met since then, __43__ did I wish to meet him now, when __44__ was about to begin.
Luckily at that moment he was __45__ busy talking to the man opposite him to catch sight of me. I slipped back into my compartment, took down my two suitcases and carried them to the far end of the corridor so as to be ready to __46__ the train as soon as it stopped. The moment the train came to a halt (停止), I called a porter, who in no time at all had carried my luggage out of the station and __47__ me a taxi. As I drove towards my small hotel on the outskirts of the town, I breathed a deep sigh of relief at my__48__. There was little chance that I should __49__ my boring ex-neighbor again.
When I reached the hotel, I went __50__ to my room and rested there until it was time for dinner. Then I went down to the dining room and __51__ a drink. I had barely raised the glass to my lips __52__ an all too familiar voice greeted me. I had not escaped from the tiresome neighbor __53__! He grasped me warmly by the hand and insisted that we __54__ a table in the
