Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to __16__.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph __17_ we realized we were __18_. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so __19_ because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on __20__ seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. __21__ I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I __22_ I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just __23__ out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t __24__ over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and __25__ for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I __26__ to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for __27__ that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why not you use the change __28__ the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so __29__ of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was __30__ of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it…”
I have learned two things from this __31__. Maybe I was a fool for __32__ in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a __33__ pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away with what you have done, your conscience will __34__ up with you.
This reflects the saying, “Coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “__35__” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only one, or maybe twice.

小題1:C。“share” 在這里是“分享”的意思。從后文我們可以看出,作者和大家分享了自己的一段經(jīng)歷,因此用”share”。選A,B兩項(xiàng)的同學(xué)通常將原文翻譯成“講一段經(jīng)歷”。但只要將選項(xiàng)還原,我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn):to say an experience是非常不地道的用法;to talk an experience在語(yǔ)法上也不對(duì)(通常用to talk about sth.),因此可以排除這兩項(xiàng)。D選項(xiàng)在文意上不符。
小題2:D。這是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,考查的是其中連詞的用法!眀e racing down”是一個(gè)延續(xù)性的動(dòng)作,而”realize”是一個(gè)瞬時(shí)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。嚴(yán)格地說(shuō),as作連詞時(shí),前后的動(dòng)作在時(shí)間延續(xù)性上要求統(tǒng)一,因此在這里不合適;while后面引出的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該是延續(xù)性的,而非”realize”這樣的瞬時(shí)動(dòng)作;then意思是“然后”,如果用在此處應(yīng)該說(shuō)and then。
小題3:C。A,D是比較容易排除的干擾項(xiàng),“迷路”、“焦躁”在后文并沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。大多數(shù)做錯(cuò)本題的同學(xué)選擇了”tired”,因?yàn)榕c后面的”rest area”相呼應(yīng)。但是,如果我們繼續(xù)讀下去就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),讓作者一行人停下來(lái)的主要原因是饑餓而非疲勞,也才因此有了后文買(mǎi)皮薩的故事。而所謂”rest area”其實(shí)就是指能提供飲食補(bǔ)給的地方。因此本題選hungry.
小題4:A。這一題主要考察詞匯。因?yàn)閾碛行缕鏂|西而引起的情感通常是”excited”興奮,而非“熱切”、“滿足”,或者“受到鼓舞”。
小題5:B。從后文可以推斷出,作者很不情愿將心愛(ài)的紙幣花在批薩上,因此選擇”food”.有21%的同學(xué)選擇了A選項(xiàng),這些同學(xué)其實(shí)延續(xù)了28題的錯(cuò)誤:全文的中心故事是由hungry/ food引發(fā)的,而非tired/ rest area.
小題6:B!癓uckily”是“幸運(yùn)的”,從原文看不出作者買(mǎi)到食物是一件幸運(yùn)的事;”immediately”是“馬上,立刻”的意思,一半以上做錯(cuò)本題的同學(xué)選擇了這一項(xiàng)。從前文中我們知道作者一行人沖進(jìn)了”pizza line”,買(mǎi)批薩的隊(duì)伍,可見(jiàn)買(mǎi)食物是需要等候的,不可能“馬上”得到;”actually”表示“事實(shí)上”,文意不符。
小題7:D。大多數(shù)做錯(cuò)本題的同學(xué)選擇了C. “notice”的確有察覺(jué)到的意思,但通常用于嗅覺(jué)、視覺(jué)、聽(tīng)覺(jué)等感官察覺(jué)到的東西(牛津高階:”notice: to see or hear sb/sth; to become aware of sb./sth.”)。而原文中,是思想上“意識(shí)到”,用”realize”更好。
小題8:A。“walked out” 指作者沒(méi)付錢(qián)就這么“(大搖大擺地)走出來(lái)”。如果用”left”,后面不用加out; work out“計(jì)算出”;find out“找出”。
小題9:B。這道題考察了一個(gè)固定搭配”get over sth.” 表示“克服(某種負(fù)面情緒),(把某件事)想開(kāi),原諒”。這里,作者是說(shuō)自己無(wú)法原諒自己買(mǎi)東西不付錢(qián)這種做法,沒(méi)法克服這件事帶來(lái)的負(fù)面情緒。
小題10:B。ask for“請(qǐng)求,要求”,不符文意;apologize for“為…道歉”,一些同學(xué)錯(cuò)在這里。從常理上說(shuō),作者如果此時(shí)回到收銀臺(tái),最直接的做法是付錢(qián),而不是道歉,否則不符合常理;send for sb.表示請(qǐng)某人來(lái)到自己這里,send for sth.表示請(qǐng)別人將某物送到自己這里來(lái)。
小題11:A。從后文我們知道,作者此時(shí)十分愧疚,以至于不敢去買(mǎi)飯后的甜點(diǎn),一是自我懲罰,二來(lái)也生怕露出破綻。因此這里用refuse表示為了不漏出破綻而拒絕買(mǎi)甜點(diǎn)。后面的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)“想要”、“希望”、“打算”都不符合文意。
小題12:D!癷n fear that”表示“生怕…/唯恐…”。作者不敢去買(mǎi)甜點(diǎn),唯恐掏錢(qián)的時(shí)候被人發(fā)現(xiàn)馬腳!盜n hope”表示“希望”,作者做“賊”心虛,肯定是生怕被揭穿,而不會(huì)希望被人質(zhì)問(wèn),所以意思不對(duì)!眎n surprise”和”in anger”分別表示吃驚的、生氣的,于原文情境、意思都不相符。
小題13:D!皌he change from the pizza”表示“從買(mǎi)批薩那里找來(lái)的零錢(qián)”,from本身就有“從…來(lái)”的意思。選A、C的同學(xué)大概看到change就覺(jué)得change into sth., change for sth.讀起來(lái)很順,但是change into是“變成…”的意思,change for是“把…換成…”的意思,這時(shí)change都是動(dòng)詞“變化”,而本題中change是名詞,表示找零、零錢(qián)。選B的同學(xué)理解了change的熟詞生意,但是一般不用change with sth.表示“...的找零”。
小題14:C。作者原本很為自己有一張新奇的貨幣而興奮,但經(jīng)歷了這件事后,作者十分”upset沮喪”,不再像以前那樣,為自己的寶貝而驕傲,因此選proud。將近六成同學(xué)選了B,D。作者明明十分沮喪,所以B ”upset”用在這里與全文意思相左;如果用D ”pleased”,則這句話應(yīng)改為” I was not so pleased by my cash now”. “be pleased by”表示“被…取悅”,不能用of.
小題15:B。sb. be reminded of sth.是remind sb. of sth.的一種被動(dòng)形式,表示“被勾起(關(guān)于某件事的)回憶”。大多數(shù)做錯(cuò)的同學(xué)選了C “thought”。如果用thought,直接說(shuō)”every time when I thought…”就可以了,不應(yīng)該用被動(dòng)I was thought。
小題16:A。Experience與第一段相呼應(yīng)。
小題17:D。這一題考察的是動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的搭配。”turn in”表示上交、歸還;“take in”表示吸收、接納,用在衣服上還表示改短、改小;“hand in”也是遞交、上交的意思。”give in to sth.”在表示上交之外,也表示向…妥協(xié),屈服,讓步。這里,作者想說(shuō)自己向自己的良心妥協(xié),對(duì)一件小事耿耿于懷,這種做法或許很傻。因此用give in to。
小題18:A。Free有自由的意思之外,還表示“免費(fèi)的”。作者這塊批薩是沒(méi)花一分錢(qián)的,因此是free pizza. 很多同學(xué)選了cheap廉價(jià)的,但廉價(jià)也是要花一點(diǎn)錢(qián)的,不符文意。”plain”可以表示“原味的、樸素的、明白的”等等,在這里都不符合文意;”delicious”美味的,在文中從未提及。
小題19:C。我們熟悉的catch up with的意思是“追上、趕上”,但catch up with還有“查出來(lái)并抓獲”的意思。在這里,作者想說(shuō),如果一個(gè)人做了虧心事,即使他自己努力不去想,他的良心也會(huì)把他的過(guò)失“追查出來(lái)”。Make up是彌補(bǔ)的意思,wake up 是醒來(lái)的意思,而put up with是容忍、寬容的意思。
小題20:D。“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one”一句中提及了兩種人:coward 和hero. 作者先說(shuō)自己屬于前者,然后再假設(shè)“如果自己是后者的情況”,因此這里應(yīng)該用hero.

Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy—five, he gave £ 12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment (設(shè)備) for a children’s playground.
As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy—five. Johnson had a sense of humour (幽默). He liked whisky (威士忌酒) and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening.”he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (經(jīng)濟(jì)上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生觀) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (熱心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .
