Question

When I was in junior high,the eighth-grade bully(惡徒)hit me in the stomach. Not only did it hurt and make me angry，but the 1    and shame were almost unbearable. I wanted 2    to even the score！I planned to meet him on the playground the next day and let him 3    it.

For some reason, I told my plan to Nana,my 4    . Surprisingly,she gave me one of her hour-long lectures. Among the many things she told,I unclearly remembered her telling me that I didn't need to 5   about him. She said, "Good deeds 6   good results, and evil deeds lead to bad results." I told her,in a nice way,of course, that I thought she was flill of it. I told her that I did good things all the time，but all I got 7   was "rubbish"！

It took me 30 years to understand the 8   of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday，I 9   and took her out to dinner by car. I would always find her neatly 10    sitting in a wheel-chair right by the front door. I clearly remember our very last dinner together before she left there. We 11    to a nearby simple little family-owned res?taurant. I 12    pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food 13    and as I dug in,I noticed that Nana wasn，t eating，but staring at the food on her plate. 14    my plate aside，I took Nana's plate to my side and cut her meat into small pieces. I then 15    the plate back in front of her. As she 16    the meat into her mouth very weakly，and with great difficulty，I was struck with a memory that brought 17    tears to my eyes. Forty years 18    ，when I was a little boy，Nana had always cut the meat into small pieces so I could eat it.

It had taken 40 years，but the good deed had been 19   . Nana was right. "Every good deed
you do will someday come back to you." We 20     exactly what we sow.

Answer 1

當(dāng)作者還在上初中時(shí)，受到了高年級(jí)學(xué)生的欺負(fù)。當(dāng)作者把他的報(bào)復(fù)計(jì)劃告訴了祖母后，祖母勸他別為那家伙操心，因?yàn)閻河袗簣?bào)，善有善報(bào)。過(guò)了三十年，作者終于明白了祖母話中的學(xué)問(wèn)。他用行動(dòng)報(bào)答了祖母對(duì)他的疼愛(ài)。

1. B從隨后所用"were almost unbearable"的表述可知，作者覺(jué)得被揍很丟面子。embarrassment表"尷尬"之意。

2. C既然"難以忍受(unbearable)",作者就"極"想討回公道。desperately拼命地、不顧一切地。

3. D前面說(shuō)到作者要與對(duì)手扯平，而且計(jì)劃約他在操場(chǎng)上相見(jiàn)，可想而知，作者想要對(duì)方"承受" 一拳。have此處表"承受"之意。

4. C從下文可知"Nana"就是作者的祖母。

5. B從下文祖母的勸說(shuō)"好的行為會(huì)導(dǎo)致好的結(jié)果，壞的行為會(huì)導(dǎo)致壞的結(jié)果"來(lái)看，祖母是告訴作者不要去因?yàn)閷?duì)方而著急(即不要去為難對(duì)方)o complain about抱怨;argue about爭(zhēng)辯;talk about談?wù)摗?/p>

6. B與下文"evil deeds lead to bad results"相對(duì)的情況只能是good deeds會(huì)"導(dǎo)致"good results。bring about帶來(lái)，導(dǎo)致；get around傳開(kāi);settle down定居，解決；bring up撫養(yǎng)，嘔吐。

7. A作者不相信祖母的"好人有好報(bào)，惡人有惡報(bào)"的信念。他告訴祖母他一直做著好事，可別人回報(bào)給他的卻是"惡報(bào)"。in return作為回報(bào)。

8. D在第三段，作者通過(guò)自己回報(bào)祖母在自己小時(shí)候所給予的關(guān)愛(ài)，明白了祖母三十年前所說(shuō)的那句含義深刻的話語(yǔ)里的"學(xué)問(wèn)(wisdom)"。

9. C從"each Tuesday"這個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)來(lái)看，作者前來(lái)用車(chē)接祖母出去吃飯不是"順便看望(drop in)";后面有by car這個(gè)方式狀語(yǔ)，作者不可能"跑來(lái)(run up)";pull in表"(汽車(chē)等)慢慢駛進(jìn)" 之意，與前面主語(yǔ)"I"不一致。comeby來(lái)串門(mén)。

10.D根據(jù)neatly(整齊地)一詞，此空只能填dressed (穿著).

11.A上文提到by car,所以他們應(yīng)是"驅(qū)車(chē)"前往。 

12.D根據(jù)后面出現(xiàn)的食物，此處只能用order(點(diǎn)菜).

13.B從下文的"我開(kāi)始吃(I dug in)"可知，食物必須先"上桌(arrive)" 。serve和cook是及物動(dòng)詞，應(yīng)說(shuō)sth. is served / cooked;reach也通常作及物動(dòng)詞，用于reach sp.結(jié)構(gòu)中。

14.A注意到祖母只盯著食物但不吃后，作者將自己的食物"移到"一邊。push雖可與aside搭配，但強(qiáng)調(diào)了 "移動(dòng)"的方式，已包括在move的動(dòng)作中。take aside則表"拿到一邊"之意，與語(yǔ)境不符。

15.C將祖母的烤肉切成小片后，"我"將其"放回" 到她跟前。place放置。

16.C西方人進(jìn)餐用刀叉。此處fork為動(dòng)詞，表"用叉叉起"之意。hand用手(遞，傳)；distribute 分布;lead把……引向。

17.D看到上述情景，"我"猛地想起了以前的一段往事，淚水"即刻"從眼里流了下來(lái)。用instant 一詞，強(qiáng)調(diào)情感變化的突然性。

18.A此處往事指的是四十年"前"，祖母總是幫"我"把餐桌上盤(pán)中的肉切成小片，"我"才能夠吃下去的經(jīng)歷。previously arfu.. 之前，意思同ago。

19. B祖母疼愛(ài)孫子的行為得到了回報(bào)。repay回報(bào)，報(bào)答；award獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，授獎(jiǎng)。

20. A我們收獲我們所種的作物。"We harvest what we sow."由"As you sow,so shall you reap."轉(zhuǎn)變而來(lái)，意為"種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆"。fulfill完成，實(shí)現(xiàn)；acquire獲得，均不符合習(xí)慣用法。
