Question

【题目】My mother was the one who always beat me. I always cried loudly to let neighbors _______ she was killing me. For example, if she acted as though she was about to _______ her hand to me, I would open my _______ and let the world know about it. If anybody was passing by out on the road, _______ would either change her mind or just give me a few light touches.

Thinking about it now, I feel certain that just as my father supported me for being _______ than the other children, my mother gave me more shout for the _______ reason. She was very bright herself, but she liked the ones who were _______. Jimmy, my eldest brother, I knew, was especially her _______. I remember that he would tell me to get out of the house. “Let the sun shine on you so you can get some color.” He went out of his way _______ to let me have a sense of color-advantage.

I learned early that crying out in disagreement could finish things. My older brothers and sister would sometimes come in from school and ________ a biscuit with butter or something. My mother impatiently(不耐烦地), would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a big noise until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn’t be a nice boy like Wilfred.

【解析】

这篇短文讲述了作者小时候的经历，他从很小就学会了，如果想要什么东西，你就要大声叫喊，发出你自己的声音。

【1】句意：我总是大声的哭，让邻居们以为她要杀了我。hope 希望；see 看到；think 认为，想；understand理解。根据句意可知，作者的妈妈要打他的时候，他总是大声的哭喊，目的是让邻居们以为他的妈妈要杀了他，故应选C。

【2】句意：例如，如果她表现得好像要对我举起她的手，我就会张开我的嘴巴，让世界都知道。raise提高，抬起；show展示；pass通过；hold持有，控制；举办。根据上文My mother was the one who always beat me.可知，作者的妈妈总是打他，所以这里是妈妈抬起手想要打他的时候，故应选A。

【3】句意：例如，如果她表现得好像要对我举起她的手，我就会张开我的嘴巴，让世界都知道。door 门；window 窗户；eyes眼睛；mouth嘴。根据上文My mother was the one who always beat me. I always cried loudly to可知，妈妈在打他的时候，他会大声地哭喊，所以这里应该是张开嘴大喊，故选D。

【4】句意：如果有人正好在外面的路上经过，她就会要么改变主意，要么就轻轻地打我几下。he他；she 她；I 我；they他们。根据文意可知，这里作者说的是他的妈妈打他，故应用she代指my mother，选B。

【5】句意：现在想来，我确定就像我的父亲支持我因为我要比其他的孩子更加聪明一样，我的妈妈因为相同的理由吵我更多。happier 更开心的；luckier更幸运的；brighter更明亮的，更聪明的；kinder更善良的。根据下文She was very bright herself可知，下面提到作者的妈妈就很聪明，所以这里是说作者比家里的其他孩子更聪明，故应选C。

【6】句意：现在想来，我确定就像我的父亲支持我因为我要比其他的孩子更加聪明一样，我的妈妈因为相同的理由吵我更多。right 正确的；wrong 错误的；same相同的；different不同的。根据句意可知，作者的父亲支持他和他的妈妈经常打他，理由是一样的，the same相同的，故应选C。

【7】句意：她自己很聪明，但是她却更无知的人。darker 更无知的；更黑暗的；cleverer 更聪明的；nearer更近的；older更老的。上句话She was very bright herself可知，作者的妈妈很聪明，后半句用了but表示转折，故这里应填的是与bright意思相反的词，故选A。

【8】句意：我知道，我最大的哥哥Jimmy尤其是她的最爱。need 需要；love喜爱；kind善良的；种类；favorite最喜爱的。根据上文but she liked the ones…，提到妈妈喜欢…样的人，而这里提到了作者的大哥，举例告诉我们他的大哥就是他妈妈最喜欢的那种，故应选D。

【9】句意：他不顾一切的走了，从没有让我有一种颜色上的优越感。never 从不；often经常；sometimes有时候；usually通常。根据文意作者的妈妈总是打他，所以作者的哥哥没有让作者有优越感，故应选A。

【10】句意：我的哥哥姐姐有时候放学回来，想要黄油饼干或者什么东西。put down 放下；ask for 要求，请求；look at看；sell out卖完。根据下文My mother impatiently(不耐烦地), would tell them no.可知，妈妈总是不耐烦的拒绝，所以这里是作者的哥哥姐姐想要…，故选B。

这篇短文中作者介绍了他小的时候的经历，并不受妈妈的喜爱，妈妈总是打他，这时候他总是大声哭喊，让别人都能听到。所以作者从小就学会了如果你想得到某个东西，你就要发出自己的声音。文章是记叙文，但在理解上有一定的难度，句式较长，作者的写作意图、上下文的逻辑关系需要仔细辨别，从而寻找线索作答。题型是完型填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强，有一定的难度。做题时，应先通读短文，掌握大意；然后逐空做题，注意上下文的提示和空前后的搭配。先解决较容易的，使文章更加完整，脉络更加清晰，这样难题也可以迎刃而解。最后应再读一遍短文，检查答案。例如第3小题，上文My mother was the one who always beat me. I always cried loudly to告诉我们，作者的妈妈总是打他，在这时候，他就会大声地哭喊，所以这里应该是张开嘴大喊，故选D。再如第7小题，上句话She was very bright herself可知，作者的妈妈很聪明，后半句用了but表示转折，故这里应填的是与bright意思相反的词，故选A。
