模塊6U1李仕才一、閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。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 dinnereverything 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 lightand 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.1Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impecunious”in Paragraph 1?AGenerous. BHarmonious.CPenniless. DStubborn.2How did the author's husband support the family?ABy starting a garage.BBy selling food door to door.CBy delivering goods.DBy working as a shop assistant.3How did the author feel when she saw the basket?AShe was annoyed.BShe was astonished.CShe was terrified.DShe felt a sense of relief.4What may be the best title for the text?AA helping hand in timeBA struggling young coupleCA tale of potatoesDA reward from a stranger【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文?！拔摇焙驼煞蛴袃蓚€孩子，很多年前，我們生活貧困，但羞于將處境告訴父母。丈夫用一輛舊卡車送貨謀生。一天晚上，“我”在家門口發(fā)現(xiàn)一籃子豐盛的食物，那一餐令“我”終生難忘?！拔摇睂⒂肋h(yuǎn)感謝那位送食物給“我”家的人?！倦y句分析】There was so much that I couldn't remember it all，but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinnereverything except potatoes.分析：該句由but連接的兩個分句構(gòu)成，其中第一個分句用了so.that.結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“如此以至于”；第二個分句中we needed to fix a wonderful dinner為省略了關(guān)系詞that的定語從句，修飾先行詞everything。譯文：有如此多的東西以至于我都記不全了，但除了土豆，我們準(zhǔn)備一頓豐盛的晚餐所需要的東西都有了。1C考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)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”的父母住在很遠(yuǎn)的地方，“我”羞于讓他們知道我們的處境；結(jié)合該段中的“when we were a young couple with two small children，aged 2 and 4，we were practically impecunious”可知，我們是有著兩個孩子的年輕夫妻，據(jù)此可以推知，我們的日子過得相當(dāng)貧窮，才會羞于讓遠(yuǎn)方的父母知道我們的情況。據(jù)此可以判斷，畫線詞意為“貧窮的”，故C項正確。A項意為“慷慨的，大方的”，B項意為“和諧的，和睦的”，D項意為“固執(zhí)的”，都與語境不符。2C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)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”的丈夫用一輛舊卡車為當(dāng)?shù)氐牡曛魉拓浿\生，故C項正確。3B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句“I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food”可知，看到一籃子的食物，“我”幾乎不能相信自己的眼睛；據(jù)此可以判斷，作者很驚訝，故B項正確。A項意為“她感到惱怒”，C項意為，“她感到害怕”，D項意為“她感到欣慰”，都與第三段最后兩句的語境不符。4A考查標(biāo)題判斷。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了“我”和丈夫有兩個孩子，生活貧困，但羞于將處境告訴父母。丈夫用一輛舊卡車送貨謀生。一天晚上，“我”在家門口發(fā)現(xiàn)一籃子豐盛的食物，那一餐令“我”終生難忘。“我”將永遠(yuǎn)感謝那位送食物給“我”家的人。據(jù)此可以判斷，A項最能概括文意，體現(xiàn)文章主旨，故A項正確。二、單項填空1.As

lady's”可知，此處指“上了年紀(jì)的”。故選A項。3C從語境可知，此處指作者作為醫(yī)院的義工，通常幫助那些準(zhǔn)備離開的“病人”。故選C項。4B上文提到作者通常幫助那些準(zhǔn)備離開的病人。結(jié)合Instead“反而”可知，此處老人并不是準(zhǔn)備離開，而是想去禮品店。故選B項。5C從下文7空前的“As I pushed her around”可知，此處指“輪椅”。故選C項。6D前一句提到“當(dāng)我們到達(dá)禮品店時，商店還沒有開門”，可以推斷此處指30分鐘的“等待”。故選D項。7C從空后的“happy to be out of her room”可知，此處指“高興”。故選C項。8A上文提到“she looked at everything”，接下來應(yīng)是“選擇”。故選A項。9C結(jié)合語境可知，此處指老人要求作者推著她朝巧克力的方向走去。故選C項。10D根據(jù)空后的“all the different chocolate arrangements”可以推出，此處指作者幫老人“瀏覽”了所有不同的巧克力的布置。故選D項。11B在作者幫老人瀏覽完后，“最終”老人做出了決定。故選B項。12A上文提到老人購買了三種不同盒子的巧克力并讓作者在上面寫上數(shù)字。接下來是老人向作者解釋為何這樣做。故選A項。13D老人解釋說護士們?nèi)绱司牡卣疹櫵运秊檩啺嗟淖o士“買”了巧克力。故選D項。14C當(dāng)作者他們給當(dāng)前值班護士巧克力時，值班護士轉(zhuǎn)而給了作者一些。故選C項。15B從下文17空前的“who got so much joy from life”可知，此處指“微笑”。故選B項。16A結(jié)合上文老人的行為不難看出，老人是一個善良的人。故選A項。17C此處指作者的感慨：能和從生活中得到如此多快樂的人在一起本身就是一個“禮物”，和上文第一段的“It was a gift to.people”相呼應(yīng)。故選C項。18D此處指作者從做義工的經(jīng)歷中“學(xué)習(xí)”到，健康常常把人們聚集在一起。故選D項。19A上文中作者提到健康，接下來說，“健康”是福，符合語境。故選A項。20B此處指待在健康被如此“重視”的地方和其他事情不同，空處與空后的“appreciated”并列。故選B項。四、短文改錯。I came to the US as a exchange student a year before.There are four people in my host family.They are Mr.Garavalia，his wife and his child.The host family has a magic what has pulled me in and make me part of it.I remember when I first arrived at my house，it was far past their usual bedtime.But Mr.Garavalia still waited me in the living room and gave me a huge hug just as I walked in.I was felt so warm after 14 hours of tired flight.Every day they treat me as if I were their really family.I love them very much.【答案】I came to the US as exchange student a year .There are four people in my host family.They are Mr.Garavalia，his wife and his .The host family has a magic has pulled me in and me part of it.I remember when I first arrived at house，it was far past their usual bedtime.But Mr.Garavalia still waited me in the living room and gave me a huge hug just as I walked in.I felt so warm after 14 hours of flight.Every day they treat me as if I were their family.I love them very much.第一處：a改為an。考查冠詞。exchange的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭。故把a改為an。第二處：before改為ago?？疾楦痹~。時間副詞before常常與完成時連用，ago常常與一般過去時連用，根據(jù)句中謂語動詞為一般過去時可知，把before改為ago。第三處：child改為children?？疾槊~復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)上文中的“four people in my host family”可推斷，這對夫婦應(yīng)該有兩個孩子，故把child改為children。第四處：what改為that/which?？疾槎ㄕZ從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是一個定語從句，先行詞是magic，從句缺少主語。故把what改為that/which。第五處：make改為made。考查時態(tài)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，and一詞后的動詞make與其前has pulled作并列謂語，且在此并列結(jié)構(gòu)中and后省略了與前面相同的助動詞has，故把make改為made。第六處：my改為their。考查代詞。此處指“我”第一次到達(dá)他們(這對夫婦)家的時候，故把my改為their。第七處：waited后加for?？疾榻樵~。wait for sb.意思是“等待某人”，為固定用法，故在waited后加for。第八處：刪除felt前的was。考查動詞。felt在此處為系動詞feel的過去式，表示“感受到”，沒有被動語態(tài)。故刪除felt前的was。第九處：tired改為tiring?？疾樾稳菰~。此處表示“14個小時的令人疲倦的飛行之后”。tiring“令人疲勞的”，tired“疲倦的，疲勞的”，故把tired改為tiring。第十處：really改為real。考查形容詞。名詞family前應(yīng)用形容詞來修飾，故把really改為real。11
