(2010·海淀期末练习)

The Pecan Thief

When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the __1__ to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.

Pecan picking was really __2__ work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn't about to __3__ Grandpa down. Just then something caught my __4__. A large brown squirrel was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and __5__ in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel __6__ out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.

Not so __7__ anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was __8__ with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my __9__. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so __10__ of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. __11__，I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans！” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many？” I told him how I'd __12__ the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that __13__ me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently __14__ my shoulders.

“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter __15__ of food，” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will __16__ the cold winter？”

“I didn't think about that，” I said.

“I know，” Grandpa said. “But a good man should

never take __17__ of someone else's hard work.”

Suddenly I felt a bit __18__. The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't __19__ my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the __20__ of knowing I had done just the right thing.

答案与解析：

1．B从上下文知，我被爷爷派去捡山核桃，再结合第一句中的“farm”和选项可知我应该到树林(woods)里去，而不是房间(rooms)，洞里(holes)和路上(roads)。

2．A从后面的我才捡半篮山核桃可知，捡山核桃对我来说是一项挺困难的(hard)活，其他选项都不符合语境。

3．A从下文知，我不想让爷爷失望，此处let sb. down

是固定词组，意为“令某人失望”。

4．C就在此时，不远处的一只棕色大松鼠引起了我的注意。catch one's eye表示“引起某人的注意”。

5．D那只松鼠捡起一颗山核桃向一棵树跑去，最后消失(disappear)在树干的大洞中。该句中的三个动作表承接：先picked up，然后hurried to，最后disappeared。join“加入”，live“生存”，discover“发现”都不符合语境。

6．A该处表示：不久，那只松鼠又从洞中跳了出来(jump out)，故选A项。hold out“伸出，坚持”；stand out“突出”；find out“发现”都不符合语境。

7．B从后文中dashed over to the tree可知，作者认为松鼠捡山核桃不再是秘密了。

8．B我发现洞中到处都是山核桃，be filled with是固定词组，意为“充满着”，符合语境；be covered with“覆盖”；be decorated with“用……装饰”。

9．C当看到洞中有这么多的山核桃，作者认为自己的机会来了。

10．D作者拿了这么多的山核桃，心里非常高兴，当然很骄傲。be proud of“自豪，高兴”，符合语境。be afraid of 表示“害怕，担忧”；he ashamed of表示“感到羞愧”；be careful of表示“小心”。

11．D此处表示我迫不及待地想把捡到的山核桃让爷爷看，因此兴奋地大叫起来，前后句构成“因果关系”，用therefore。otherwise“否则”；however“然而”；besides“除此之外还……”。

12．B我告诉了爷爷，我是如何跟踪(follow)松鼠，从而找到这些山核桃的。

13．C此处表示爷爷虽然表扬了我，但他接下来做的事情让我很吃惊(surprise)。

14．D爷爷用胳膊挽着我的肩膀，用介词around。

15．A松鼠努力工作，收集了过冬食物，此处supply of food表示“食物储备”。

16．C你把他的食物都拿走了，难道你没有想过他在寒冷的冬天还能活下去吗？survive“挺过”，符合语境。

17．C好人不应该利用(take advantage of)别人的辛勤劳动。take place of“代替”；take notice of“注意到”；take charge of“负责”，都与语境不符。

18．A爷爷说了这些话后，我突然有了一种负罪感(guilty)。

19．B那只松鼠挨饿的场景在我心头挥之不去，所以用leave one's mind表示“离开……心头”。

20．D此处表示作者为自己做了一件正确的事情而感到很满足(satisfaction)。

答案与解析：

俗话说“贪小便宜吃大亏”，在生活中诚信显得很重要。本文通过描述Mr. Glen的一段亲身经历说明了这一道理。这个故事比较老，但仍然具有极强的现实意义。随着我国国际地位的提升，每个公民都必须树立良好的自我形象。

1．A考查固定搭配。set up“设立，成立”；come up“走近，出现”；go up“上升，增长”；call up“召唤，使想起”。由语境可知选A项，他成立了他的小公司。

2．C根据全文可知，Mr. Glen把这次教训当做交了一次“额外的”学费。extra“额外的”，不包括在价目内的。文章最后一段中because an additional high “school” fee也有暗示。

3．B根据前文decided to return to the homeland可知，此处表示“离开”。

4．C空后的made through years of work after school and the scholarships可知，表是他用他的积蓄(课外工作所得和奖学金)买的。saving“存款，积蓄”。

5．C考查固定搭配。take down“拿下，摘下”；put down“放下，拒绝”；lie down“躺下”；look down“俯视，跌价”。此处的意思是：手表也要摘下来进行检查，故选C项。

6．C根据后文中nearly ￥100,000可排除A项和B 项，从had to pay the tax可知，携带特定的物品出境需要缴税。

7．B it代指前面的the tax。

8．D根据后文中carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的)goods可知。

9．B be proud of“以……自豪”。他以为自己的小聪明

会得逞，正洋洋自得。

10．A in the presence of Glen“当着Glen的面”。

11．D定语从句的引导词which指代the watch，cost 的主语为物，spend的主语为人。

12．A根据Glen was amazed，可知答案。他还没有明白过来是怎么回事，就被带到了办公室。

13．D根据后文“他知道只有黑名单上的人物才…享受?这种特殊待遇，工作人员仔细检查了他的包”可以判断，应选D项。

14．B此处指根据多次出入境的经历，他知道……。

15．A句意：工作人员警告他无论什么时候出入境，他都必须接受检查。

16．B这是一个省略的虚拟语气句。If (he was) found out reusing and carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! find out“查明(真相)”。

17．D board the plane“登机”。

18．D固定短语make a deep impression on表示“对……留下深刻的印象”。

19．A根据前文故事可知，他的经历让他懂得了诚实的重要性。

20．A句意：他将永远牢记诚信——他成功的秘密。

2．B四个短语的含义：A“条件是”，B“害怕，唯恐”，C“相信”，D“以便”。语境表示害怕司机开车会太疲劳而有意和他攀谈，因此选B项。

3．B这个故事发生在晚上，司机说他送完我这趟就回家，由此判断选B项，表示“出行”。A“夜晚”，C“循环”，D“过程”都不符合语境。

4．A问了第一个问题之后，我接着对他发问。用throw out表示“随口说出”，如throw out one's suggestion“说出某人的建议”。B“赠送，泄露”，C“编造，虚构”，D“导致，造成”。

5．D从这个司机的回答看，他不像别的出租车司机那样辛苦，他如此自在，这让“我”感到十分诧异。这里用easiness表示“自在，自如”。

6．D我每次坐出租车的时候，从司机那儿听到的都是抱怨，说他们要从清早工作到深夜……这里用hear表示“听见，听到”。

7．C赚钱很难，而且经常被警察罚款。从语境和选项看，出租车司机应是被警察“罚款”，所以选C项。

8．C或者埋怨说，领导懒洋洋地坐在办公室里享受他们的劳动果实。

9．C从下面的叙述可知，这个司机觉得他原先那种

日子很无聊，让人觉得很厌烦，因此选C项。

11．A这里用hardly... without的双重否定表示肯定的含义：很幸运，我几乎从来没有拉过空车。

12．A从下文的叙述判断选A项，从来不跟在跑空车的出租车后面，这样的车向南开，他就开车往北去。

13．D与下文的“狭窄的街道”呼应，这里选D项表示“公路”。

14．B从前文这个司机的叙述看，他很满意自己开出租车的生活，因此选B项。

15．D从搭配看，这里用take pride in表示“以……自豪”。

16．B从生活常识可知，高山上的氧气稀薄，因此选B项。

17．A就像一句老话所说的，“不以物喜，不以己悲”，不以物质的收获为喜，不以个人的挫折为痛苦。

答案与解析：

文章为记叙文，讲述了“我”与一位患癌症的小朋友的故事。节食不吃巧克力的“我”常吃这位小朋友赠送的糖。

1．D promise“允诺，许诺”。我举起手向妻子保证今天不吃巧克力。下文信息I knew my promise would...也有暗示。

2．A stop doing sth.“停止做某事”。听说我要节食，不再吃巧克力妻子诙谐地问是不是医院的礼品店不卖巧克力了。

3．B depend on“依靠，依赖，取决于”。我依靠我强烈的决心节食。
