Question

I work as a volunteer（志愿者）for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to   16   him.

Before setting out. I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and   17  . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too   18   for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were   19   over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned（咧嘴笑）, “Pretty hard. ”

After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes

  20   large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized（著迷）. He couldn’t stop

  21  . Later he said   22  . “I wish I could speak French.” I was   23   －this from a boy who hated and   24   French classes throughout school.

Usually silent, he   25   Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed（活潑起來）.

   26  , the moment that really took   27   breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was   28   a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in   29  . Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and   30   to become part of the leadership of the   31  .

Learning her story. Barrett was as   32   as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a   33   of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.

When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay   34   as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This   35   achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18^th birthday. He’ll be a man.

Answer 1

解析：

16.D.本題需要從全文角度才能更好的做出判斷.首先,作者要帶孩子去的地方是偏僻窮困的地方,再從Barrett的表現(xiàn)和最后一段作者認(rèn)為完全達(dá)到了此行的目的----促進了孩子的成長.所以應(yīng)該是教育孩子.

17.A.rough:艱苦的,  與tiring并列,修飾 trip,從上下文中能看出這個意思

18.B.too much(for someone): (對于某人而言)很不合適, 做不了, 受不了.

19. C. 上文已經(jīng)說明了這次旅行會很幸苦, 已經(jīng)到了第三天, 不可能再run了; B也不合適, 因為這時Barrett回頭笑著說很幸苦, 所以應(yīng)該是在進行中, 不是向下看的時候. 而move和climb相比,后者更強調(diào)費盡,努力地;所以climbing更符合此時的情景.

20. A. too在這里是程度副詞, 這件衣服穿在小姑娘身上太大了.

21. D. 從上下文能看出Barrett看到這個小姑娘在他身邊很著迷的樣子, 不禁笑了, 想與她交流. 如果是其他選項, 下文中就應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)喊叫或者開玩笑的具體內(nèi)容才符合文章的邏輯,所以其他選項不合適.

22.B.一方面是上文中體現(xiàn)他想與小姑娘交流, 還有從本段最后可以看出Barrett很討厭學(xué)習(xí)法語,可以看出應(yīng)該是遺憾的說: 我希望我會說法語.

23.D.從下文hated…throughout school可看出Barrett變化之大,所以作者這時的心情應(yīng)該是驚訝.

24. C. hated是信息詞，and表示并列或者遞進, 所以A, B 都不對. Call off指取消,和時間狀語throughout school不搭配.

25. A. 從本句kept asking…和下句的he blossomed…可知應(yīng)該選A. befriend對待…如朋友,協(xié)助, 照顧; disregard不理, 忽視; avoid避免; recognize認(rèn)出.

26. D. 文章到這里進入本文的最高潮: 真正讓作者很吃驚 (take one’s breath away) 的發(fā)生在深山中的一個小村子. 所以應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折.

27. B. 在倒數(shù)第二段作者專門交待了Barrett對此事的感受 (Barrett was as…as I), 所以這里只是講”我”的感受.

28. B. 其他選項的含義放在這里都不合適, 只能是為一篇文章而采訪她.

29. C從下一句中的though determination, 可以知道the woman villager意志堅強strong in mind.

30. B. struggle: to try extremely hard to achieve something, even though it is very difficult. 所以符合上文的strong in mind/through determination.

31.A.此段的第一句話交待了事件發(fā)生的地點是in village.

32. D. touched: 感動.

33. A. combination: 結(jié)合, 混合; composition: (某物的) 組成物質(zhì)或者成分, (人工的) 合成物; connection: 連接.

34. B. stay behind: to remain in a place rather than leave留下來.

35. D. 首尾呼應(yīng).
