  One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm.At 16, I like   1   better than driving our truck,   2   this time I was not happy.My father told me I’d have to ask for credit at the store.

  Sixteen is a   3   age, when a young man wants respect, not charity.It was 1976, and the ugly   4   of racial discrimination was   5   a fact of life.I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner   6   whether they were “good for it”.

  I knew black youths just like me who were   7   like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.

  My father was   8  .We paid our debts.But before harvest, cash was short.Would the store owner   9   us?

  At Davis’a store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer.I nodded   10   I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves.When I brought my   11   to the cash desk, I said   12  , “I need to put this on credit.”

  The farmer gave me an amused distrustful   13  .But Buck’s face didn’t change.“Sure, ”he said   14  .“Your daddy is   15   good for it.”He   16   to the other man.“This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”

  The farmer nodded in a neighborly   17  .I was filled with pride.James Williams’s son.Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.

  That day I discovered that the good name my parents had   18   brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors.Everyone knew what to   19   from a Williams:a decent person who kept his word and respected himself   20   much to do wrong.

答案:1.B;2.C;3.A;4.B;5.C;6.C;7.A;8.B;9.D;10.B;11.A;12.D;13.A;14.C;15.D;16.C;17.B;18.A;19.B;20.D;
解析:

(1)

由全文内容可知,故事发生时“我”是一个16岁的孩子,这个年龄的孩子往往自尊心是很强的,所以对于driving our truck所能带来的荣耀,“我”是绝对引以为豪的,故在该题中应选择nothing。

(2)

由于上句的like与本句的not happy构成对比,表达转折含义,所以本题应选择but。

(3)

由下半句的wants respect, not charity可知,应选择prideful。

(4)

由后文的“I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand,head down,while the store owner   6   whether they were’good for it’”可知在1976年白人对黑人的种族歧视是依然存在的,这也是种族歧视的丑陋的反映。

(6)

guess表示“猜想”;uspect 表示“怀疑,觉得(猜想)可能是事实”;question表示“对……质疑”;figure表示“扮演,出现”。商店店主对于赊账者应是“以……质疑”。

(7)

由于当时的种族歧视现象,黑人青年进入杂货店是被店主当做贼来防备的。所以此空白处用watch表示“被店员盯着一举一动”之意。

(8)

由后文店主对“我”父亲的评价,可知“我”的父亲已经凭借自己的诚实获得了别人的认可。其他词在该句中与本文主题无关。

(9)

由上下文可知此处应表示“信任”,故需用trust。

(10)

由上下文可知此处应表示“当……时候”,用as。

(11)

由全文的第一句话可知,“我”到商店为的是买东西,故用purchases。

(12)

由上下文可知此时,“我”对自己能否赊账心里并没有底,所以用carefully表示“小心地”。

(13)

对于“我”的要求,与Buck先生谈话的农夫脸上是一种吃惊的不信任的“表情”。

(14)

由“But Buck’s face didn’t change”及后文可知Buck先生简单地答应了“我”的要求。

(15)

由Buck先生答应赊账,可知“我”父亲是一个信守诺言的诚实的人。

(16)

由于Buck先生的话“This here is one of James Williams’s sons” 是对着那位农民说的,所以此处应用turn to。

(17)

由于有了Buck先生的介绍,那位农民对“我”的态度也有了改变,所以此处用way表示“方式”。

(18)

本句句意应为:“我”父母的好名声使得我们全家人获得了邻居们的尊重。所以用earn表示“赢得”。

(19)

本句句意为“人人都知道从Williams这个名字中能够期望得到什么”。

(20)

这句句意为:“一个信守诺言的正派人并且自尊得不容许自己做错事”。too…to…表示。“太……而不能……”。

Nicolette Morganti’s friends can’t understand why she joined a dating agency(婚姻介绍所).

She has a good job    1    a personal assistant with a television news agency, her own house, and a full social life. But she, a 29-year-old woman, who has a degree in English Literature(文学),is so    2    with British    3    that she joined the English Rose dating agency to get in touch with single American males.

“English men are usually materialistic and have    4    imagination,” she says.

“I have    5    years being bored by men who never do anything    6    .”

“I’m almost 30 now and I would really love to    7    a husband and have    8   .I’d like to live in London for six months of the year and in the States for   9     six months.”

In her search for the perfect man, Nicolette once    10    an advertisement in a magazine for    11    people and had 400 replies.

But she says, “I only met one or two of them.  12    of the others sounded very   13   .”

Nicolette joined English Rose about 18 months    14    and has met    15    then.

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not    20    ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.
