I learned another lesson about love a few years later.My father often ____ me early in the morning.“Buy Xerox.It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone.No pleasant ___ or inquiry about my life,just financial instructions.This manner of his ___ me and we often quarreled.But one day,I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his ____ morning calls.The next time he called and told me to buy a stock,I ____ him.

【解析】
1.
解析 根據(jù)上下文得知作者起初以自己的方式評價別人的愛,以為別人的方式都不正確、不合理,包括男朋友父母的、自己父親的和朋友的,因此此處提到男朋友父母的表達方式起初應為作者不欣賞和不喜歡的,故排除B、C、D三項。句意為:對于拜訪我男朋友的父母,我記憶(remember)最多的是餐廳鬧鐘的滴答聲。
2.2】 C
解析 由后面的With so little conversation可知,作者與男朋友一家人吃飯時他們很少說話,故用silently。
3.3】 A
解析 regard...as...意為“把……看作/當作...”。由于表達愛的方式不一樣,作者把男朋友家人用餐時的少言寡語當成冷漠。
4.4】 C
解析 由下文父親為兒子“wash windscreen”可知作者和男朋友是開車回去的。
5.5】 B
解析 作者原來以為男朋友的父親很冷漠,而現(xiàn)在卻“...feel he is a caring man through the glass.”能夠改變其看法的應該是細心地(carefully)擦車這一動作。punctually準時地;proudly自豪地;coldly冷漠地。
6.6】 D
解析 根據(jù)下文“...when I answered the phone.”可知,D項符合語境。
7.7】 A
解析 父親在電話中指導作者如何買東西而沒有給她令人愉悅的問候(greeting),曾經(jīng)這也是作者對父親的誤解原因。meeting會議;apology道歉;explanation解釋,說明。
8.8】 B
解析 根據(jù)下文“...we often quarreled.”可知,他的方式惹惱了作者。
9.9】 B
解析 上文父親電話的內(nèi)容可看出父親的電話很簡短,并沒有讓作者感到溫暖,也沒體現(xiàn)出禮貌來。
10.0】 D
解析 根據(jù)上句“But one day,I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his ____ morning calls.”可知,父親下次讓作者買股票時,自然要感謝他了。
11.1】 D
解析 根據(jù)前半句“When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends...”可知,作者因自己的社交方式和朋友不同而失望。
12.2】 C
解析 作者的朋友表達關愛的方式與作者不一樣,因此,對比其朋友,作者的方式應該是及時地(without delay)回電話。
13.3】 C
解析 “She wasn’t a good friend!”是作者對朋友作出的評價,而不是對朋友的感情、提議或信念。
14.4】 B
解析 “My anger ____ as the holidays approached.”與“But then...”構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關系。“But then...”所在的一句及下文說明作者改變了對朋友的看法,故前面作者的觀點依然是否定的。故選B項。
15.5】 C
解析 朋友通過參加作者舉辦的聚會一事改變了作者的看法。host做東,作為主人組織(聚會),符合句意。
16.6】 D
解析 作者的朋友通過自己的方式表現(xiàn)出了其獨特的關愛,讓作者感到吃驚(shocked),從而改變了她的看法。
17.7】 A
解析 一旦改變了看法,作者便對自己以前認為朋友是沒愛心的(uncaring)感到后悔和愧疚了。
18.8】 A
解析 概括上文,作者回憶自己以前沒有注意到人人都有獨特的(unique)關愛方式。
19.9】 B
解析 由句意可知,作者總是忽視他們獨特的表達方式,期望他們按照她自己的方式做事,故選way。
20.20】 B
解析 此處表現(xiàn)作者由起初的誤解他人到最后懂得領會(read)人們傳達愛的方式,照應文章的開頭。

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path.I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud.As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected.I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times.I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me.Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing.And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward.My attacker rushed me again.He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused.I wasn't sure what to do.After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly.I stepped back to look the situation over.My attacker moved back to land on the ground.That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her.I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate.He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake (緣故), even though she was clearly dying and I was so large.He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her.His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable.I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool.He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
【小題1】Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
A.To get close to a butterfly. | B.To look over the bad situation. |
C.To escape a sudden attack. | D.To avoid getting his shoes dirty. |
A.Making the attacker pause. | B.Being attacked by a butterfly. |
C.Being stepped on by his mate. | D.Discovering the energetic butterfly. |
A.what he should do when faced with trouble | B.people should show sympathy to the weak |
C.how he should deal with attacks | D.people should protect butterflies |

In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil.
I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
"I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil. Can't you afford a pen?"
My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well; I've always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days. "
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
This story, which happened before I was born, reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.
【小題1】Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?
A.To leave messages. |
B.To list her everyday tasks. |
C.To note down math problems. |
D.To write down a flash of inspiration. |
A.It has great value for the family. |
B.It needs to be replaced. |
C.It brings her back to her lonely childhood. |
D.It should be passed on to the next generation. |
A.blaming her mother wrongly |
B.giving her mother a lot of trouble |

D.not making any breakthrough in her field |

In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small notepad (記事本) and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”
My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days.”

So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.
