解析試題分析:
【小題1】D邏輯推理詞義比較作者六歲的時候就和父兄一起干活,到八歲就已經(jīng)開始幫助父親修理舊家具。接下來這句話依然表明作者很早開始的工作經(jīng)歷。by表示不遲于……,到……打止。
【小題2】A邏輯推理詞義比較作者每從舊木板中拔(pull)出來一個釘子父親就給他一美分。pull out拉/拖/拔出;put out放/伸出,生產(chǎn);pick out摘/剔/挖出/啄/挑出;press out強(qiáng)使分離; 壓出。
【小題3】B常識運(yùn)用邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)上段敘述的作者幫助家里干活,而本段說的at JM’s Restaurant所做的才是他頭一個真正意義的(real)工作,他沒有慣例性的(usual),主要的(main)和特定的(particular)的工作。
【小題4】C常識運(yùn)用邏輯推理與washing dishes并列的活兒應(yīng)該是清理(clear)收拾桌子。sweep清掃;pack 包裝;empty倒空,騰空。
【小題5】C前后照應(yīng)語句連貫作者的主要任務(wù)是打雜兒,但(but)有時也幫廚。前句main是一個提示。or或者,表示選擇關(guān)系;so因而,所以,表示因果關(guān)系;even甚至,表示過分程度。
【小題6】A詞義比較作者每天放學(xué)后就去(head to)JM's工作到10點(diǎn)。head 朝著……方向去;turn to轉(zhuǎn)向,求助于;change to變成,換上(衣服等);move to遷/移至。
【小題7】B邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)即便是在周六作者都得從2點(diǎn)工作到7點(diǎn)。前段和本段敘述的都是作者工作的感受,與學(xué)習(xí)(study),玩耍(play),睡眠(sleep)無關(guān),只有work與本段主旨有關(guān)。句中的even也起到了提示作用。
【小題8】C常識運(yùn)用邏輯推理詞義比較在那么小的年齡就去搞活是挺困難的,而且還眼睜睜地看著(watch)別的孩子去游泳去玩,而自己卻要工作。注意作者當(dāng)時的心情的表達(dá)。help sb.(to) do sth幫助某人做;have sb. do sth叫/派/讓某人做;watch sb. do sth注視/監(jiān)視某人做;let sb. do sth讓某人做.
【小題9】D邏輯推理詞匯用法作者不是很喜歡工作,但作者喜歡工作能夠讓他擁有的一切。ask/tell/ allow sb. to do
sth要求/告訴/允許某人做某事,這種結(jié)構(gòu)中,ask,tell的主語通常為人,allow的主語可為人或物;promise
sb. to do sth答應(yīng)某人(自己)會做某事,其主語也通常為人。
【小題10】D前后照應(yīng)邏輯推理因?yàn)樽髡哂泄ぷ?job)能掙到錢,而非其學(xué)習(xí)(study)、年齡(age)、能力(power)情況,故朋友外出總是作者付賬。
【小題11】A邏輯推理詞義比較和朋友出去時總是作者付賬,這就是工作讓作者擁有的。為此作者感到驕傲(proud),而不僅僅只是友好(friendly),幸運(yùn)(lucky)和充滿希望(hopeful)。
【小題12】B邏輯推理固定搭配有關(guān)作者的勤奮和信譽(yù)的信息在小鎮(zhèn)上到處傳揚(yáng)。get around到處走動, 傳播出去;run around東奔西跑,奔忙,到處玩耍游逛;flow around四處流動, 涌流;carry around四處運(yùn)送。
【小題13】A語句連貫詞義比較雖然(although)作者才七年級,但當(dāng)?shù)匾患曳b店已同意讓他賒賬。Although表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。while表示時間或?qū)φ;if表示條件;since表示原因。
【小題14】C邏輯推理詞義比較作者隨即記帳買了一件68美元的運(yùn)動衣和一雙22美元的鞋子。sell出售, 賣; borrow借, 借入;charge記帳,在帳冊等上記入…;wear穿,戴,磨損。
【小題15】B邏輯推理固定搭配作者每小時才掙65美分,卻已經(jīng)欠了老板90美元了。強(qiáng)調(diào)掙得少,欠的多。make money掙錢;其它三項(xiàng)與文意不符。
【小題16】D邏輯推理詞義比較所以作者漸漸地(gradually),極大程度地(greatly),而且是及早地(early)就明白了隨意賒帳的危害。Hardly與文意不符。
【小題17】D邏輯推理固定搭配只要一有能力,作者便還清了債務(wù)。pay off償清(債務(wù)),支付(債務(wù))的全部數(shù)額;pay out花費(fèi),支出;pay away支付(款項(xiàng))。pay通常不與over 搭配。
【小題18】B詞義辨析工作教作者學(xué)會了自我控制,擔(dān)付責(zé)任,為作者帶來了某種程度(level)的自我滿足感,這是他的朋友們很少體驗(yàn)到的。level等級,程度,層面。point點(diǎn),分?jǐn)?shù);part部分,局部;sign 標(biāo)記,跡象。
【小題19】C句法規(guī)則考查非限制性定語從句的運(yùn)用。
【小題20】A常識運(yùn)用詞義比較你要是懂得(understand)了奉獻(xiàn)和責(zé)任,生活中就沒有多少事你做不成。understand懂得,了解;demand需要,要求;offer提供,貢獻(xiàn);fear畏懼,擔(dān)心。
考點(diǎn):考查夾敘夾議類短文
點(diǎn)評:該篇完形填空題講敘了作者如何參加工作,如何掙錢,如何交友的經(jīng)歷。讀后肯定對你會有所幫助的。主要還是考查了詞匯的辨析與運(yùn)用,但更加注重綜合語言能力的運(yùn)用,需要根據(jù)故事情節(jié),了解詞匯用法的同時,結(jié)合語境,做出準(zhǔn)確的判斷。

My Forever Valentine 我永遠(yuǎn)的“情人”

Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought   1   him as my “Valentine man”.

My first recollection of the   2   he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was   3   “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to   4   my birthstone, a ruby (紅寶石). There is   5   difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember   6   that ring with pride that all the cards in the world   7   not surpass (超越).

  8   I grew older, the gifts gave   9   to heart-shaped boxes filled with my   10__   chocolate and always included a   11   card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became   12   of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less   13  , and I took for granted that the Valentine would   14   be there. I had   15   my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite   16  .

His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a   17   of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a   18_        of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.

Those things never   19  , nor does the memory of a man who never   20   being my Valentine.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them . We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ”Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

A. Look at them sadly.              B. Touch them gently.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values(價值觀念) that helped me grow into an adult.

Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.

I also learned from Steve that personal property(財(cái)產(chǎn)) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder.

Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The relationship between Mark and Steve.

B.The important lessons Mark learned in school.

C.Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage.

D.Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

2.When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____.

A.was surprised                          B.felt frightened

C.was light-hearted                       D.cried before her

3.From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____.

A.had a shiny silver pen                    B.respected his teacher

C.hated his father very much                D.once owned a small wooden dog

4.To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him?

A.Respecting life.                         B.Being responsible for one’s behavior.

C.Being honest.                          D.Respecting others’ property
