B
A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked his father to lend $10 to him. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son.
The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.
“Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” the man went into the room and said. “Here's the $10 you asked for.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” He said. Then, he reached under his pillow, pulled out some crumpled coins and said, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是一个小男孩想让爸爸早点回家的故事。爸爸每天工作到很晚，不经常回家吃晚饭，因此小孩问爸爸一个小时多少钱，然后向爸爸借了点钱凑齐了20美元，然后对爸爸说，我已经凑齐了20美元，明天给爸爸，条件是早回来一个小时吃晚饭。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The boy asked, “Daddy, how much do you make per hour ”(男孩问：“爸爸，你一小时挣多少钱？”)”和第三段中的“When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked his father to lend $10 to him. (当他说每小时20美元时，小男孩请他父亲借给他10美元)”可知，男人工作一小时能挣20美元。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。由第一段“A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. (一个男人下班回家很晚，又累又不高兴，发现他5岁的儿子在门口等他)”，第二段中的“The boy asked, “Daddy, how much do you make per hour ” The father was furious at his son's question. (男孩问：“爸爸，你一小时挣多少钱？”父亲对儿子的问题furious)”和第三段中的“The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. (父亲甚至更生气，因为他认为男孩只是想要一些钱来买玩具)”可知，父亲回家原本就心情不好，儿子这时问自己时薪多少钱，以为儿子又想要钱买玩具了，结合The father was even angrier可得出，此处说话时父亲应该是生气了，furious在此处意为“很生气（very angry）”。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son. (父亲甚至更生气，因为他认为男孩只是想要一些钱来买玩具。所以他没有回答他的儿子)”可知，父亲以为儿子又想要钱买玩具这样无用的东西，所以没有回应儿子（拒绝借钱给儿子）。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”(爸爸，我现在有20美元。我可以买你一小时的时间吗？请明天早点回家。我想和你一起吃晚饭)”可知，小男孩向父亲借钱来买父亲一小时的时间，只为和父亲吃一顿饭，由此推测父亲应该是不常回家，儿子经常见不到自己的父亲，说明父亲与儿子相处的时间很少。故选B项。
C

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一个有钱人想帮助别人，但是想看看这些人值不值得帮助，他用一块大石头试探人们。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：从前，有一个富人，他想为他镇上的人做点什么。此处是定语从句，先行词等于关系词，先行词是a rich man，指人，在从句中作主语，there live是一种there be句型的变体，在there be句型中的定语从句的先行词指物时，用关系代词that，但是指人用关系代词who，此处用关系代词who。故填who。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：但首先他想知道他们是否值得他的帮助。固定搭配want to do sth. (想要干某事)，find用动词不定式（to do）形式。故填to find。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在进城的主要道路的中心，他放置了一块很大的石头。此处泛指“一块很大的石头”，very以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意：然后他躲在一棵树后等待。此处缺乏谓语，讲述过去发生的事，hide时态用一般过去时。故填hid。
【45题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：老人说，“谁把这块石头放在路中央的？”但他并没有努力去搬走这块石头。结合下文not tried to remove可知，固定搭配try to do sth. (努力做某事、试着去做某事)符合句意，remove用动词不定式（to do）表还未进行的动作。故填to remove。
【46题详解】
考查时态。句意：相反，他费了点劲绕过石头继续前行。动词continue和passed around是并列谓语，讲述过去发生的事，continue时态用一般过去时。故填continued。
【47题详解】
考查代词。句意：他们都抱怨那块石头，但没有试图把它搬走。此处用代词it指代上文出现的the stone。故填it。
【48题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：他看到了石头，心里想：“晚上会很黑。一些邻居会在黑暗中走过来，会跌倒在石头上。”本句已有谓语saw且无连词，动词say用非谓语形式，逻辑主语He与动词say是主谓关系，say用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语。故填saying。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意：他使出全身力气推拉它。此处用抽象名词strength作介词with的宾语。故填strength。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意：令他吃惊的是，他在石头下面发现了一袋钱。固定搭配to one’s surprise (令人惊讶的是)，用介词to，首字母大写。故填To。

3.for→of
4.drove→drive
5.best后接to
6.myself→me
7.have→had
8.or→and
9.question→questions
10去掉in
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者拜访史密斯一家的经历。
【详解】1.考查不定冠词。句意：今天我拜访了史密斯一家，这是我第一次访问美国家庭。American是元音音素开头，前面的不定冠词用an，故将a改为an。
2. 考查形容词。句意：他们住在一个安静的小镇上。修饰名词town应用形容词quiet。故将quietly改为quiet。
3.考查固定短语。句意：他们真是太好了，来接我并开车送我到他们家。it's kind of sb. to do sth.是固定短语，意为“某人真好，做了某事”，故将for改为of。
4.考查动词。句意：他们真是太好了，来接我并开车送我到他们家。and表并列，meet和drove并列，都跟在to后，因此drove应用原形，故将drove改为drive。
5.考查固定短语。句意：史密斯一家尽力使我感到宾至如归。do one's best to do sth.是固定短语，意为“尽力做某事”，故在best后加to。
6.考查代词。句意：他们给了我咖啡和其他饮料。根据语境可知，句子表示“他们给了我咖啡和其他饮料”，offered后是“我”，用宾格me，故将myself改为me。
7.考查时态。句意：我们在一起有说有笑，玩得很开心。通篇时态是一般过去时，因此have应用过去式had，故将have改为had。
8.考查连词。句意：我们在一起有说有笑，玩得很开心。句子是肯定句，肯定句中的“和”应用and，故将or改为and。
9.考查名词的复数。句意：他们很高兴了解中国的一切，问了我很多问题。question是可数名词，lots of后跟名词的复数，故将question改为questions。
10.考查时间的表达法。句意：事实上，他们正计划明年访问中国。next year意为“明年”，前面不加介词，故去掉in。
