Question

I returned to Abuja，the capital of Nigeria，after college graduation.I had been there before my mother became a minister.
Two weeks later，I told my mother I was bored.She said，“Here’re the car keys.Go and buy some fruit.”1，I jumped into the car and speeded off.
Seeing me or rather my2，a boy sprang up (跳起來(lái))，3 to sell his bananas and peanuts.“Banana 300 naira.Peanut 200 naira！”
Looking at his black?striped bananas，I4 to 200 total for the fruit and nuts.He5.I handed him a 500 naira note.He didn’t have6，so I told him not to worry.He was7 and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When，two weeks later，I8 this same boy.I was more aware of my position in Nigerian society.I should9 this country as the son of a10.But it was hard to find pleasure in a place where it was so11 to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit.
“What’s up？” I asked.He answered in12 English，“I...I no get money to buy book.”I took out two 500 naira notes.He looked around13 before sticking his hand into the car14 the bills.One thousand naira means a lot to a family that15 only 50,000 each year.
The next morning，security officers told me，“In this place，when you give a little，people think you’re a fountain of opportunity (機(jī)會(huì)).”
16 it’s right，but this happens everywhere in the world.I wondered if my little friend had actually used the money for17.
After six months’ work in northern Nigeria，I returned and saw him again standing on the road.
“Are you in school now？”
He nodded.
A silence fell as we looked at each other，then I18 what he wanted.I held out a 500 naira note.“Take this.”
He shook his head fiercely and stepped back19 hurt.
“It’s a gift，”I said.
Shaking his head again，he handed me a basket of bananas and peanuts.“I’ve been waiting to20 these to you.”

Answer 1

CACBC ADBBA DADAC ACDB
1.C因我感到厭煩，而媽媽叫我開(kāi)車去買水果，所以我很高興。此處delighted為形容詞作狀語(yǔ)，說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)的狀態(tài)。
2.A我開(kāi)車去買水果，所以賣水果的小男孩看見(jiàn)的是我的車。
3.C小男孩看到有人來(lái)了，所以急于賣自己的水果。(be)eager to do sth.急于干某事；(be)willing to do sth.愿意干某事；be afraid to do sth.不敢干某事；(be)ashamed to do sth.干某事感到害羞。
4.B根據(jù)小男孩說(shuō)的，香蕉300奈拉，花生200奈拉，而我最終用200奈拉買下了水果和花生，證明此處我是在討價(jià)還價(jià)。因此B項(xiàng)正確。
5.C。根據(jù)上下文判斷，小男孩同意了這個(gè)價(jià)格。
6.A我給了小男孩一張500奈拉的紙幣，而小男孩找不開(kāi)，很明顯他沒(méi)零錢(qián)。change“零錢(qián)”；note與bill是“紙幣，鈔票”；check“支票”。
7.D小男孩沒(méi)零錢(qián)找，我告訴他別擔(dān)心，表示我不要了，因此小男孩非常感激。
8.B。ran after追趕，尋找；ran into偶然遇見(jiàn)；ran over軋過(guò)去；ran to跑向。根據(jù)句意：兩周后，我又見(jiàn)到了這個(gè)小男孩。
9.B作為部長(zhǎng)的兒子，我有自己的社會(huì)地位，我應(yīng)該喜歡這個(gè)國(guó)家，但是我在這兒找不到快樂(lè)。
10.A。根據(jù)短文第一段第二句話可知。
11.D為什么找不到快樂(lè)，是因?yàn)榻?jīng)�？吹奖驹撋蠈W(xué)而不能去上學(xué)的小男孩賣水果。
12.A因?yàn)樾∧泻�沒(méi)上學(xué)，所以英語(yǔ)說(shuō)得不好，磕磕絆絆地，且下文“I no get money to buy book”中有兩處錯(cuò)誤，因此broken符合題意。
13.D因?yàn)橄騽e人要錢(qián)，有點(diǎn)兒不好意思，因此應(yīng)是緊張地向四周看看。
14.A伸進(jìn)手來(lái)拿錢(qián)，因此此處的介詞表目的。只有for有此用法。
15.C。make money掙錢(qián)。
16.Asecurity officers說(shuō)的話可能是對(duì)的，但是這樣的事全世界都會(huì)發(fā)生。
17.C根據(jù)上文中的“I no get money to buy book”判斷，此處填books。
18.D兩人見(jiàn)面后，陷入沉默中，因?yàn)榍皟纱挝叶冀o了小男孩錢(qián)，這時(shí)我意識(shí)到他是要向我要錢(qián)。
19.B。when當(dāng)……時(shí)候；as if好像；even if即使；after之后。根據(jù)句意：我給他錢(qián)，他用力搖了搖頭而且后退，后面又是“hurt(傷害)”一詞，由此判斷應(yīng)填as if。
20.D。send派遣，發(fā)送；provide提供；sell賣；give給。根據(jù)上文的表述，小男孩不僅不要錢(qián)，給他錢(qián)他也覺(jué)得好像受了傷害一樣，由此判斷小男孩現(xiàn)在是來(lái)報(bào)答我的，因此這些水果應(yīng)該是給我，而不是賣給我。
