　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.

　　But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins，Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

　　Money was tight，as well as time.Often when my children were little，one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say，“Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”

　　Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.

　　I wasn't sure，though.I mean，gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean，no-frills budget.

　　Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly，I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree，planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow，because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn't believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard!

　　I went outside to look.It was true！There were dollar bills，one hundred of them，taped all over that tree.Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached：“IOU eight hours of digging time.Love，Marvin.”

　　Marvin kept his promise，too.He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架)，a sunflower stepping stone and gard

　　ening books.

　　That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me.

　　I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula，where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers. I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes－every time.

　　I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!

　　31．By saying “Do you see a money tree outside…”the mother actually means “________”．

　　A．Observation is the best teacher

　　B．Seeing is believing

　　C．The outsider sees the most of the game

　　D．It is not easy to gain money

　　32．The best title for the passage would probably be________.

　　A．My flower garden

　　B．Marvin helps to realize my dream

　　C．Love in Michigan

　　D．Money grows on trees

　　33．The underlined word “no-frills”in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to________.

　　A．wasteful

　　B．tight

　　C．absurd

　　D．helpful

　　34．From the passage we can infer that the mother is________.

　　A．divorced when she was young

　　B．not caring for her kids any longer

　　C．alone but not at all lonely

　　D．prouder with her garden than with her kids

　　B

　　Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict(沖突)．It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side.In the end，they fell apart.

　　One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work.The elder brother said，“I just have a job for you.Look at that farm across the creek(河溝). My younger brother lives there.It was he who used his bulldozer(推土機)to dig the creek last week to spite(刁難)me.So I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said，“I see.I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.

　　At sunset when the farmer returned，the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all！Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching.The brothers stood at each end of the bridge，and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days.I've a lot of other work for you，”said the elder brother.“I'd love to stay on，” the carpenter said，“but I have so many more bridges to build.”

　　答案

　　課時作業(二十三)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　考查動詞搭配。be exposed to意為“被暴露在……”。句意為：盡管學生所見的比上代人多，但他們所知道的卻更少，表現得也較不成熟。

　　2．B　考查固定搭配。be in the possession of sb.被某人擁有； value用作動詞， 當 “估價”講， 后接“介詞at＋金錢”， 意思為 “估價為……”。

　　3．D　考查動詞辨析。distribute意為“分發，分配，分送”；advocate倡導；separate分離；divide分開。句意：救援機構將給幾個國家發放食物。

　　4．B　考查possession和charge的用法。A和C的邏輯主語是人，分別表示“某人占有”和“某人負責(某事)”，含有主動意義；而B和D的邏輯主語是物，分別表示“被某人所占有”和“由某人負責”，具有被動意義。本句的意思是：這所房子以前是我的財產，現在歸一位老太太擁有。應該選B。

　　5．D　考查動詞短語辨析。hand in表示“上交”；hand on表示“把……傳下去”；hand out表示“分發”；hand over表示“移交”。根據語境，應該是“移交鑰匙”，故應選D。

　　6．C　考查動詞的時態。by the time引導時間狀語從句，意為“到……時為止”。其主句的謂語動詞如果是延續性動詞，多用完成時。因從句的時態是過去時，所以主句用過去完成時。

　　7．C　動名詞短語作主語， 答語后面省略了made Celia so happy。

　　8．C　句意為：房子漏水了，你什么時候讓人修？此題用get sth. done結構，表示“使某事被做(讓別人做)”。

　　9．B　第一個空用that引導定語從句修飾先行詞something；第二個空用that與句首的Was it…構成強調句型。

　　10．B　考查時態。由句意知，Tina現在已走，剛才在這里等你，因此用一般過去時。

　　Ⅱ.本文敘述作者3歲的小女兒用她媽媽的化妝品想把自己打扮成一個小天使的故事，闡釋家長應該如何教育孩子的道理。

　　11．C　根據后面的 to be having a good time 這個不定式的進行時只有 appear 和 pretend 這兩個詞能使用，再根據上下語境是“看起來”玩得很開心，而不是“假裝”。

　　12．B　根據后面的“喊”和“沒有回聲”來判斷答案，quiet是“寂靜、沒有聲音”之意，而不能選calm(沉著、冷靜)。

　　13．D　因為作者喊他女兒，沒有聽到應聲，所以又“重復”了他的問題。

　　14．A　從前面的動作，“起身、跑出書房”，接著“進入”起居室。into是動態介詞，此處相當于and went into。

　　15．B　從前面的動詞 follow, watch 以及 as her little behind 判斷，他女兒看到他，趕緊“拐入”洗澡間。

　　16．C　此處 corner 用作動詞，表示“把……難住、走投無路”，此處指堵住去路。

　　17．D　根據下一句的意思，他女兒沒有聽他的話，選D。

　　18．A　因為她是一個三歲的小女孩，她用她媽媽的唇膏打扮自己，怕爸爸罵她，所以“慢慢地”轉到她爸爸跟前。

　　19．D　表示滿臉都被唇膏“覆蓋(涂)”。

　　20．A　正在作者準備訓斥自己的女兒的時候，他想起了自己小的時候被訓斥的話語，每一句話都似乎回想在耳際。every表示“每一個，每一句”。

　　21．A　根據前面的 many times 來判斷，作者被訓斥了很多次了，即“告訴過你多少次了”。

　　22．D　對于作者來說，按照傳統的做法，現在對待自己的女兒，好像就是挑選一下已經被說過很多遍的“老話”而已。

　　23．D　根據前后兩個動作的順序，在放松“之前”，我看了看她毛衣上的“字”。

　　24．B　根據其后的動作back up into her tearful eyes，所以此時的動作就應該是look down，即“往下看”。

　　25．B　后面的 I'M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL! 這些都是大寫的“字母”。
