Women of achievement 李仕才 一、阅读理解 Many years ago，when we were a young couple with two small children，aged 2 and 4，we were practically impecunious.My inlaws lived from hand to mouth，so we didn't expect any help from them.My parents lived a great distance away，and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.‎ My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pickup truck，carrying groceries for local shopkeepers，but it was constantly breaking down.It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed.The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.‎ We lived in the countryside，and we always used the back door because the driveway led to it.One winter evening，I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something.It was nearly dark，and I had to bend down to see what it was.I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food.‎ It was heavy，so I called my husband to carry it into the house.Once inside，we discovered two loaves of bread，some butter，several cans of vegetables，a can of orange sauce，and a large turkey.There was so much that I couldn't remember it all，but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner—everything except potatoes.‎ A little while later I remembered that I hadn't taken the trash to the barrel.By now it was dark，so I had to turn on the yard light—and that's when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.‎ That dinner was the best I could remember.‎ We weren't able to thank our donators，though，because we never found out who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family.Whoever it was，we are forever grateful.‎ ‎1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impecunious”in Paragraph 1?‎ A．Generous. B．Harmonious.‎ C．Penniless. D．Stubborn.‎ ‎2．How did the author's husband support the family?‎ A．By starting a garage.‎ B．By selling food door to door.‎ C．By delivering goods.‎ D．By working as a shop assistant.‎ 9‎ ‎3．How did the author feel when she saw the basket?‎ A．She was annoyed.‎ B．She was astonished.‎ C．She was terrified.‎ D．She felt a sense of relief.‎ ‎4．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．A helping hand in time B．A struggling young couple C．A tale of potatoes D．A reward from a stranger ‎【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。“我”和丈夫有两个孩子，很多年前，我们生活贫困，但羞于将处境告诉父母。丈夫用一辆旧卡车送货谋生。一天晚上，“我”在家门口发现一篮子丰盛的食物，那一餐令“我”终生难忘。“我”将永远感谢那位送食物给“我”家的人。‎ ‎【难句分析】There was so much that I couldn't remember it all，but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinner—everything except potatoes.‎ 分析：该句由but连接的两个分句构成，其中第一个分句用了so...that...结构，表示“如此……以至于”；第二个分句中we needed to fix a wonderful dinner为省略了关系词that的定语从句，修饰先行词everything。‎ 译文：有如此多的东西以至于我都记不全了，但除了土豆，我们准备一顿丰盛的晚餐所需要的东西都有了。‎ ‎1．C　考查词义猜测。根据第一段最后一句“My parents lived a great distance away，and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation”可知，“我”的父母住在很远的地方，“我”羞于让他们知道我们的处境；结合该段中的“when we were a young couple with two small children，aged 2 and 4，we were practically impecunious”可知，我们是有着两个孩子的年轻夫妻，据此可以推知，我们的日子过得相当贫穷，才会羞于让远方的父母知道我们的情况。据此可以判断，画线词意为“贫穷的”，故C项正确。A项意为“慷慨的，大方的”，B项意为“和谐的，和睦的”，D项意为“固执的”，都与语境不符。‎ ‎2．C　考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句的“My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pickup truck，carrying groceries for local shopkeepers”可知，“我”的丈夫用一辆旧卡车为当地的店主送货谋生，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．B　考查细节理解。根据第三段最后两句“I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food”可知，看到一篮子的食物，“我”几乎不能相信自己的眼睛；据此可以判断，作者很惊讶，故B项正确。A项意为“她感到恼怒”，C项意为，“她感到害怕”，D项意为“她感到欣慰”，都与第三段最后两句的语境不符。‎ 9‎ ‎4．A　考查标题判断。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了“我”和丈夫有两个孩子，生活贫困，但羞于将处境告诉父母。丈夫用一辆旧卡车送货谋生。一天晚上，“我”在家门口发现一篮子丰盛的食物，那一餐令“我”终生难忘。“我”将永远感谢那位送食物给“我”家的人。据此可以判断，A项最能概括文意，体现文章主旨，故A项正确。‎ 二、单句语法填空 ‎1．Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, ________(regard) as one of the best allround forms of exercise.‎ 答案：is regarded　当主语后面接由along with引起的短语时，谓语动词应和主语(cycling)保持一致；cycling与regard之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且此处描述一般事实。‎ ‎2．He was observed by officers ________(drive) at 90 miles per hour.‎ 答案：driving　observe在本句中意为“注意到，发现”，在句中构成observe sb. doing sth. 结构的被动式，用v.ing表示动作正在进行。‎ ‎3．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend ________ (apologize)．‎ 答案：to apologize　intend to do sth. “打算做某事”。‎ ‎4．Whichever way you look at it, an Olympic silver medal is a remarkable ________(achieve) for one so young.‎ 答案：achievement　a remarkable achievement “一个非凡的成就”。‎ ‎5．With our teacher ________(support) us, we feel quite encouraged.‎ 答案：supporting　support “支持”前有With, 因此应使用所填词的非谓语动词形式，且teacher和support构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故填supporting。‎ ‎6．He has decided to get a look at the house and see if it might be worthwhile ________(buy) it.‎ 答案：buying/to buy　It is worthwhile doing/to do sth. “值得做某事”。‎ ‎7．The little boy's bad ________(behave) at the party made his parents upset.‎ 答案：behaviour　behaviour “行为”是名词，此处作主语。‎ ‎8．Tolerance consists in ________(respect) the opinions of others.‎ 答案：respecting　句意：宽容在于尊重别人的观点。介词后应用动词ing形式。‎ ‎9．Computers have replaced televisions as our most popular form of ________(entertain)．‎ 答案：entertainment　介词of后应为名词entertainment “娱乐活动；娱乐”。‎ ‎10．What I would like to do today is to advance an ________(argue) and see what 9‎ ‎ you make of it.‎ 答案：argument　由an可知，应填argument名词“论点”。‎ 三、完形填空 Chris Marlow, a minister and father of two, would say that his life prior to 2009 was good but ordinary.‎ Then a mission trip to Zimbabwe turned his entire world ___1___ upside down, and he returned to his home in North Carolina a(n) ___2___ man.‎ It was on this trip that Marlow was faced with the ___3___ of extreme poverty that showed itself determinedly in the faces of ___4___ children begging for food.
