We would rather our daughter ________ at home with us, but it is her choice, and she is not a child any longer.

A. would stay B. has stayed C. stayed D. stay

 

C

【解析】試題分析：考查特殊句式。would rather后直接跟賓語從句中，從句不用that連接。①如果表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)硪龅氖虑?從句的謂語動詞用一般過去式。如：I'd rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning. (將來) 我但愿你明天早上能在機場見到他。②如果談?wù)撨^去動作,從句的謂語動詞用過去完成式。如：I'd rather you hadn't told him the news that day. (過去) 我寧可你那天沒有把那消息告訴他。根據(jù)語境，這是與現(xiàn)在事實相反的愿望，故選C。

【知識拓展】would rather的用法

1）“would rather+動詞原形”是英語中常見的一個慣用句式（美國英語中多用had rather）�！痙 rather為would（或had）rather的縮寫形式。would (had)在此決無“過去”之意，且無詞性、時態(tài)的變化。該句式常用來表示選擇的意愿，意為“寧可……；寧愿……；最好……”。例如：He'd rather work in the countryside. 他寧可到農(nóng)村去工作。 If you'd rather be alone, we'll all leave here. 如果你寧愿獨自呆著，那我們都離開這兒。

2）would rather與than連用，可構(gòu)成另一個慣用句式，即：“would rather...than....”意為“寧可（愿）……（而）不要（愿）……；與其……不如……”。用以表達主語的意愿，強調(diào)經(jīng)過選擇后做其中一件事，而不愿做另一件事。例如： I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema. 我寧可在家看電視而不愿去看電影。

3）在使用“would rather...than...”句型時，應(yīng)注意以下幾點：

①than 后邊也應(yīng)接動詞原形，但如該句型前后連接的兩個動詞相同，則than之后的那個動詞可省去。例如：

I'd rather know that now than afterwards. 我寧可現(xiàn)在就知道這件事，而不是以后。 ② would rather...than...也可改寫成 “would...rather than...”,其用法及含義仍不變。例如： Facing the enemies, our soldiers would die rather than surrender. 面對敵人，我們的戰(zhàn)士寧死不屈。 ③. 有時為了表示語氣上的強調(diào)，可將rather than置于句首。例如： Rather than refuse to help you, I would borrow money from my friends. 我寧可向朋友借錢，也不愿拒絕幫助你。 ④. would rather后也可跟從句，表示主語寧愿讓某人干某事。這時，從句謂語動詞要用虛擬語氣，即用一般過去時表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)硪龅氖�；用過去完成時表示已經(jīng)做過的事或過去要做的事。例如：

I'd rather she set out to do the work now. 我寧愿她現(xiàn)在就著手做這項工作。 I'd rather you met her at the airport tomorrow morning. 我但愿你明天早上能在機場見到她。 I'd rather you hadn't told him the news that day. 我真希望你那天沒有把那個消息告訴他。 ⑤would rather后還可接動詞的完成式，表示主語要做某事，而結(jié)果卻事與愿違。例如： I'd rather have left a note on her desk. 我本想留張字條在她書桌上的。（事實上沒有留）

考點：考查固定特殊句式。

“It hurts me more than you，’’and “This is for your own good．’’These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin，clean my room，stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in educafion in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school．The schools and the educators made it easy on us．They thought that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators，turned on the television，left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation．

Now teachers，faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years，are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake．One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-“so passive”-and-wonders what happened．Nothing was demanded of them，she believes. Television，says Klompus，contributes to children’s passivity．“We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus．“we’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry．They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ‘go look it up’，you tell them the answer．It takes greater energy to say no to a kid．”

Yes，it does．It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work．It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good．It’s time to start telling them no again.

1.Why are children becoming more inactive in study?

A．Because they watch TV too often

B．Because they have done too much homework．

C．Because they have to fulfill too many duties．

D．Because teachers are too strict with them．

2.To such children as described in the passage

A．it is easier to say no than to say yes

B．neither is easy-to say yes or to say no

C．it is easier to say yes than to say no

D．neither is difficult-to say yes or to say no

3.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on

A．1earning Latin

B．natural development

C．discipline

D．education at school

4.By “permissive period in education’’the author means a time ．

A．when children are allowed to do what they wish to

B．when everything can be taught at school

C．when every child can be educated

D．when ehildren are permitted to receive education

5.What is the main idea of the passage?

B．Kids should have more activities at school．

C．It’s time to be stricter with our kids．

D．Parents should always set a good example to their kids．

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.

I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly enjoy the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(擁抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.

I looked forward to the return journey.

1.What did the author think of her train trip at first? (Within 5 words)

2.Where was the writer going? (Within 2 words)

3.How did the author plan to kill her time on the train? (Within 5 words)

4.Why did the uncle feel surprised when the author gave him a warm hug? (Within 10 words)

5.What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip? (Within 5 words)

When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.

Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（閣樓）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.

My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he foud himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.

My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But i doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

1.Who found the O. Henry’s manuscript?

A. The girl’s mother. B. The author’s father.

C. The girl. D. The author.

2.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?

A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.

B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.

C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.

D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.

3.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.

A. named B. treated C. proved D. described

4.According to the text, why did the author’s father go to Des Moines?

A. To sell the O. Henry story. B. To meet the author himself.

C. To talk with the O. Henry expert. D. To give money to the girl.
