Some parents are always comparing their children with themselves when they were young, or with other people when they were children. "When I was your age," a father said to his sixteen-year-old son one day, "I was at the top of my class every year. And I knew what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals. You are always at the bottom of your class, and you have no goals." The man's son said nothing. He had heard this from his father many times. "And when your mother was your age," the boy's father went on, "she had a good job and she was earning money. You don't even have a part-time job. You earn nothing." The man's son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too."And when your older brother was your age," the boy's father went on, "he studied hard. You just waste your time." And the man's son still said nothing. Finally, the boy's father said, "And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and studied at night." This time the son could not stay silent. "And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, Father," he said, "he was the President of the United States. What are you "

B
When he was small, Hill was a famous bad boy. At the age of 9, his father married his stepmother. At that time they lived poorly in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family. His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said, “Dear, I hope you notice in the entire shire this is the worst boy, who has made me have no other way. Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine.” To Hill’s surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, “You’re wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and most creative boy. Only he doesn’t find a place to show himself.” His stepmother’s words warmed his heart, his eyes full of tears. With this, he started building friendship with his stepmother. And this became the drive of his life, making him create 28 successful golden rules, which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success. Before his stepmother came, no one praised him smart, and his father and neighbours considered him as a bad boy. However, his stepmother’s words changed his life.
When Hill was 14 years old, his stepmother bought him a used typewriter and said to him, “I believe you will become a writer.” Hill accepted his stepmother’s gift and expectation, and started writing things to a local newspaper. He understood his stepmother’s strong feeling of interest in his family while he saw with his own eyes she had changed his family. Therefore, he would do as well as she expected him to. The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century. Praise will never be unnecessary, especially for children. A sincere(真诚的) praise may be better than 10, 000 bad words.
27.What did people think of Hill before the age of nine
A.Clever. B.Creative. C.Unfriendly. D.Foolish.
28.Hill started making friends with his stepmother after she ______.
A.smiled at him B.looked at him carefully
C.said good words about him D.said bad words about him
29.Which of the following is WRONG about Hill
A.He accepted his stepmother’s typewriter. B.He failed to do as he was expected.
C.He started writing to a local newspaper. D.He understood his stepmother.
30.The passage was written mainly to tell us that ______.
A.children should be praised B.Hill’s father married again
C.Hill’s stepmother was kind to him D.Hill’s father was cruel to him

参考答案:
1.truck
【详解】句意:卡车上装载着一些木头。由所给首字母t及“…carrying some wood…”可知,此处应为卡车装载着一些木头;truck“卡车”,可数名词,由句中is可知,此处用其单数形式,在句中作主语。故填truck。
2.picnic
【详解】句意:下周日我们打算在海滩野餐。have a picnic为固定搭配,意为“去野餐”,符合句意,故填picnic。
3.noise
【详解】句意:不要在阅览室里制造任何噪音。由所给首字母n及“in the reading room”可知,此处应为不要在阅览室中制造噪音;空格前“any”修饰可数名词的复数或不可数名词,故此处应为不可数名词noise“噪音”,在句中作动词make的宾语。故填noise。
4.valuable
【详解】句意:我有一个宝贵的戒指。由所给首字母v及“ring”可知,此处应为一个宝贵的戒指;valuable“宝贵的”,形容词,作定语修饰名词ring。故填valuable。
5.anybody
【详解】句意:你不应该把我的秘密告诉任何人。根据“You shouldn't tell…about my secret.”及首字母a可知“任何人”译为anybody;此题为否定句,anybody作tell的宾语。故填anybody。
6.writer
【详解】句意:这位作家很有名。定冠词the后接名词,根据“The…is very famous”,可知,此空填writer表示“作家”,系动词is是单数,所以名词用单数形式,故填writer。
7.valuable

9.used
【详解】句意:我过去很怕黑。根据空后“to be”及提示词use可知此处用used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”,是固定搭配。故填used。
10.finishing
【详解】句意:她确信能按时完成这项工作。根据句子结构,空格前为介词of,故动词finish应用ing形式,故填finishing。
11.A
【详解】句意:看,有纸在地上,我们把它捡起来吧。
考查动副短语。句子主语paper为不可数名词,故应用it指代,C、D选项可排除。根据英语语法,pick up接代词时,代词应放在短语中间,即pick it up,故选A。
12.A
【详解】句意:——你今晚怎么回家 ——哦,我爸爸会来接我的。
考查动词短语及代词辨析。pick up“接、捡起”,这里的代词作其宾语,应用宾格形式me,I是主格,所以排除C、D选项;而且pick up为动副短语,代词作宾语要放在动词与副词之间,排除B选项;故选A。
13.C
【详解】句意:格林先生出席会议并作了报告。
考查一般过去时。attend参加,动词原形;attending现在分词或动名词;attended过去式;to attend动词不定式。根据下一句谓语gave提示,句子应用一般过去时,故attend应用过去式,故选C。
14.D

16.D
【详解】句意:昨天发生了不寻常的事。我们不知道它是什么。
考查形容词词义辩词。分析选项:unhappy不开心;uneasy不容易;unable不能;unusual不寻常。结合语境,我们都不知道它是什么,因此描述的事情为不寻常的。故选D。
17.C
【详解】句意:博物馆的许多东西上周被偷了。Asteal动词原形 Bstole过去式; Cstolen过去分词; Dstealing现在分词或动名词形式。本题考查一般过去时被动语态。根据主语Many things in the museum和steal之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,结构是be+过去分词;steal的过去分词stolen;故选C
18.A
【详解】句意:现在一定是早晨了。听!鸟儿正在唱歌呢。
考查情态动词。must一定、必须;might可能;could可以;can’t不可能。根据下文The birds are singing可知,鸟儿开始啼鸣,说明已经天亮,表示很有把握的推测应用must。故选A。
19.D
【详解】句意:那位记者上周一接受了采访。
考查一般过去时的被动语态。主语The reporter与动词interview之间是被动的关系,根据时间状语last Monday判断,句子为一般过去时态的被动语态,构成为“was/were+及物动词的过去分词”,interview的过去分词为interviewed,故选D。
20.C
【详解】句意:孩子们正在操场上开心地玩耍着。
考查非谓语动词。固定短语 have fun doing sth.开心做某事。因此选用动词现在分词形式。故选C。

考查不定代词辨析。other别的,其它的,修饰名词;others别的人或物,other的复数形式;else别的,其它的,不能修饰名词,放在不定代词、疑问代词或疑问副词的后面;the other指两者中的另一个,或后跟名词复数,指其余的全部。Where为疑问副词,故选C。
22.A
【详解】句意:我们经常看到鲍伯在公园里打乒乓球。
考查非谓语动词。see sb. do sth. 看见某人做某事;see sb. doing sth.看见某人正在做某事。根据题干中“often”可知并非看到正在打乒乓球,用省略to的不定式play作宾语补足语。故选A。
23.D 24.C 25.B 26.B
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一个父亲总是拿自己的孩子与自己或别人小时候比较。
