I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a book shop  36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very  37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents  38 interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it  39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the  40 , I would become more mature and  41  about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

  Like many  42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they  43 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around  44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great  45 for me. In the end, my father won the  46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins  47 through the country who could  48 shelter and help if I needed them.

  Three years later, my younger brother decided to  49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not  50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n)  51 year working his way on trains and ships to  52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.

  These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly  53 . Most parents start  54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have  55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.

52.B.53.D.54.C.55.A.


解析:

36. A. taught 教;B. allowed允許;C. treated對(duì)待;D. hired雇傭。從下文help her in the

    shop可知選D。

  37. A. anxious焦急的;B. content滿意的;C. proud自豪的; D. hopeful有希望的。因?yàn)樽约簰赍X

    自己花,當(dāng)然是值得驕傲與自豪的了。

  38. 從下文看她的父母很開通,支持孩子獨(dú)立自主,給孩子鍛煉機(jī)會(huì),所以判斷它們不會(huì)干涉孩子如何

    花零花錢的。故選A. never。

  39. 根據(jù)上下文,可知作者的父母給孩子充分的鍛煉機(jī)會(huì),哪怕是犯錯(cuò)誤。這里只即使他不理智的花

    錢,父母也不會(huì)干涉;好讓他在錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn),學(xué)會(huì)合理地消費(fèi)。故選B. foolishly

  40. 選B. mistakes。同上。

  41. 選D. responsible。作者的父母希望孩子經(jīng)歷過錯(cuò)誤后,變得更成熟,在與人交往和處理事情時(shí)更

    有責(zé)任心。

  42. 選A. American。從最后一段第一句話but in the US they are fairly…可知。

  43. 選D. worried。從第三段第二行Again my mother was very worried可知。

  44. 選C. Europe。從下文I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home可知。

  45. A. journey旅行,旅程;B. experience經(jīng)歷;C. chance機(jī)會(huì);D. possibility可能性。從文中以

    及最后一段These kinds of experiences可知作者希望通過獨(dú)自旅行鍛煉自己,對(duì)自己的成長(zhǎng)來說

    應(yīng)該是一次難得的經(jīng)歷。

  46. 父母對(duì)兒子獨(dú)自旅行的態(tài)度不一樣,所以應(yīng)選A. argument爭(zhēng)論;B. game游戲,比賽;C.

    discussion討論;D. plan計(jì)劃。

  47. A. send out發(fā)送; 放出; 派遣;B. give out分發(fā), 發(fā)出(氣味、熱等);C. carry out完成; 實(shí)

    現(xiàn);選D. spread out這里指母親的親屬分散在法國(guó)各地,都可以為他提供幫助。

  48. 選C. provide同上。 A. promise保證,允諾;B. afford負(fù)擔(dān)得起;D. serve服務(wù)。

  49. take a year off請(qǐng)一年假。

  50. 從Again my mother was very worried 可知母親像當(dāng)年擔(dān)心我一樣擔(dān)心弟弟,不愿意他離開學(xué)

    校,故選B. eager熱切的,渴望的,熱心的。

  51. 因?yàn)榈艿苁侵鲃?dòng)選擇邊打工邊旅行,因而他一定覺得這樣的經(jīng)歷unusual不同尋常,而非hard艱

    苦,strange奇怪或busy繁忙。

  52. 這里passage指(乘船或飛機(jī)的)航程, 旅行, 旅費(fèi);earn passage to different ports and

    cities自己掙錢到各處旅行。

  53. 從These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in

    the US they are fairly …句中but可知前后表達(dá)對(duì)比的意思,因此選rare的反義詞common常見的.

  54. A. bringing帶來;B. forcing迫使;C. pushing促使;D. protecting保護(hù)。這里指父母推動(dòng)孩子

    做自己想做的事,而不是強(qiáng)迫,故選D。

  55. 指孩子們自己選好了大學(xué),故選A. selected。B. admired羨慕,欽佩;C. afforded負(fù)擔(dān)得起;

    D. left離開。

  My Fellow Americans,

  I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease(老年癡呆癥).

  Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private(私人的)citizens we would   1   this a private matter or we would make this news known in a   2   way.

  In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer   3   I had my cancer surgeries(外科手術(shù)).We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to   4   public awareness(意識(shí)).We were happy that   5   many more people went to have a test.They were treated in early stages and able to   6   to normal, healthy lives.

  So now, we feel it is   7   to share it with you.In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater   8   of this condition.Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are   9   by it.

  At the moment I feel just fine.I’d   10   to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have   11   done.I will continue to share   12   journey with my beloved Nancy and my family.I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch   13   my friends and supporters.

  Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease   14  , the family often suffers a lot.I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   15   experience.When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   16   it with faith and courage.

  At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of   17   me to serve as your President.When the Lord calls me home,   18   that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism for its future.

  I now begin this   19   that will lead me into the sunset of my life.I know that for America there will always be a bright   20   ahead.

  Thank you my friends.May God always bless you.
