Mother always complains that children _______ their shoes very quickly.

A.find out           B.wash out          C.wear out          D.set out

 

【答案】

C

【解析】句意为:母亲总是抱怨孩子们的鞋磨损得很快。find out 发现,查出(真理/真相)wash out 洗掉,破产 set out 出发,着手wear out用坏; 穿破; (使)筋疲力尽; 耗尽。

【考点定位】动词短语语境运用考查 wear out 短语可以在必修四第三单元A master of nonverbal humour 一文中The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat.句子里找到踪影。即形容词worn-out。动词短语wear out有“用坏; 穿破; (使)筋疲力尽; 耗尽”之意。如:Clothing seems to wear out in no time nowadays。(现在的衣服好像很快就穿破了。)The past few days had really worn him out. (过去的几天真把他给累坏了。)No matter how often they turn up, their welcome never wears out. (不管他们多久露面一次,都永远那么受欢迎。)

This is a story  that happened 15 years ago but it has always stayed with me since then.On the way back from work every evening,more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway.He always waved at every car,he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.Every day after work when I got there,I would quickly roll down my window and give him the coins.Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day.His answer would always be the same,“I’m blessed!”.

It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive,and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids,with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.Needless to say that on my was home that day I was very sad and upset.I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.I wasn’t feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be.Yet there he was as alway,as l turned the ramp.He set his eyes on me,while still smiling and waving at others.

While I was waiting for the red light to turn,he strolled over to my car.He had a big smile he looked me straight in the eyes and said “today I will give you a dollar”.He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.I was blown away.I burst into tears.I wanted to jump out of my car and hug him!

You see that day he gave me more than a dollar bill,he taught me a valuable lesson.No matter  what material things are taken  from you,no one can take away your choice to be joyful.

What is the passage mainly concerned?

A.A dollar bill from a homeless person.

B.A blessing coming from a homeless person.

C.A woman who lost her job due to the economy.

A.felt relaxed to get rid of the tiring job

B.still felt joyful when coming off the ramp

C.took it for granted that she was fit for her job

D.didn’t put some change aside to give to the man

         .

A.completely defeated               B.wholly blown down
