解析试题分析:
【小题1】D逻辑推理词义比较作者六岁的时候就和父兄一起干活,到八岁就已经开始帮助父亲修理旧家具。接下来这句话依然表明作者很早开始的工作经历。by表示不迟于……,到……打止。
【小题2】A逻辑推理词义比较作者每从旧木板中拔(pull)出来一个钉子父亲就给他一美分。pull out拉/拖/拔出;put out放/伸出,生产;pick out摘/剔/挖出/啄/挑出;press out强使分离; 压出。
【小题3】B常识运用逻辑推理前后照应上段叙述的作者帮助家里干活,而本段说的at JM’s Restaurant所做的才是他头一个真正意义的(real)工作,他没有惯例性的(usual),主要的(main)和特定的(particular)的工作。
【小题4】C常识运用逻辑推理与washing dishes并列的活儿应该是清理(clear)收拾桌子。sweep清扫;pack 包装;empty倒空,腾空。
【小题5】C前后照应语句连贯作者的主要任务是打杂儿,但(but)有时也帮厨。前句main是一个提示。or或者,表示选择关系;so因而,所以,表示因果关系;even甚至,表示过分程度。
【小题6】A词义比较作者每天放学后就去(head to)JM's工作到10点。head 朝着……方向去;turn to转向,求助于;change to变成,换上(衣服等);move to迁/移至。
【小题7】B逻辑推理前后照应即便是在周六作者都得从2点工作到7点。前段和本段叙述的都是作者工作的感受,与学习(study),玩耍(play),睡眠(sleep)无关,只有work与本段主旨有关。句中的even也起到了提示作用。
【小题8】C常识运用逻辑推理词义比较在那么小的年龄就去搞活是挺困难的,而且还眼睁睁地看着(watch)别的孩子去游泳去玩,而自己却要工作。注意作者当时的心情的表达。help sb.(to) do sth帮助某人做;have sb. do sth叫/派/让某人做;watch sb. do sth注视/监视某人做;let sb. do sth让某人做.
【小题9】D逻辑推理词汇用法作者不是很喜欢工作,但作者喜欢工作能够让他拥有的一切。ask/tell/ allow sb. to do
sth要求/告诉/允许某人做某事,这种结构中,ask,tell的主语通常为人,allow的主语可为人或物;promise
sb. to do sth答应某人(自己)会做某事,其主语也通常为人。
【小题10】D前后照应逻辑推理因为作者有工作(job)能挣到钱,而非其学习(study)、年龄(age)、能力(power)情况,故朋友外出总是作者付账。
【小题11】A逻辑推理词义比较和朋友出去时总是作者付账,这就是工作让作者拥有的。为此作者感到骄傲(proud),而不仅仅只是友好(friendly),幸运(lucky)和充满希望(hopeful)。
【小题12】B逻辑推理固定搭配有关作者的勤奋和信誉的信息在小镇上到处传扬。get around到处走动, 传播出去;run around东奔西跑,奔忙,到处玩耍游逛;flow around四处流动, 涌流;carry around四处运送。
【小题13】A语句连贯词义比较虽然(although)作者才七年级,但当地一家服装店已同意让他赊账。Although表示转折关系。while表示时间或对照;if表示条件;since表示原因。
【小题14】C逻辑推理词义比较作者随即记帐买了一件68美元的运动衣和一双22美元的鞋子。sell出售, 卖; borrow借, 借入;charge记帐,在帐册等上记入…;wear穿,戴,磨损。
【小题15】B逻辑推理固定搭配作者每小时才挣65美分,却已经欠了老板90美元了。强调挣得少,欠的多。make money挣钱;其它三项与文意不符。
【小题16】D逻辑推理词义比较所以作者渐渐地(gradually),极大程度地(greatly),而且是及早地(early)就明白了随意赊帐的危害。Hardly与文意不符。
【小题17】D逻辑推理固定搭配只要一有能力,作者便还清了债务。pay off偿清(债务),支付(债务)的全部数额;pay out花费,支出;pay away支付(款项)。pay通常不与over 搭配。
【小题18】B词义辨析工作教作者学会了自我控制,担付责任,为作者带来了某种程度(level)的自我满足感,这是他的朋友们很少体验到的。level等级,程度,层面。point点,分数;part部分,局部;sign 标记,迹象。
【小题19】C句法规则考查非限制性定语从句的运用。
【小题20】A常识运用词义比较你要是懂得(understand)了奉献和责任,生活中就没有多少事你做不成。understand懂得,了解;demand需要,要求;offer提供,贡献;fear畏惧,担心。
考点:考查夹叙夹议类短文
点评:该篇完形填空题讲叙了作者如何参加工作,如何挣钱,如何交友的经历。读后肯定对你会有所帮助的。主要还是考查了词汇的辨析与运用,但更加注重综合语言能力的运用,需要根据故事情节,了解词汇用法的同时,结合语境,做出准确的判断。

My Forever Valentine 我永远的“情人”

Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought   1   him as my “Valentine man”.

My first recollection of the   2   he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was   3   “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to   4   my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is   5   difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember   6   that ring with pride that all the cards in the world   7   not surpass (超越).

  8   I grew older, the gifts gave   9   to heart-shaped boxes filled with my   10__   chocolate and always included a   11   card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became   12   of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less   13  , and I took for granted that the Valentine would   14   be there. I had   15   my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite   16  .

His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a   17   of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a   18_        of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.

Those things never   19  , nor does the memory of a man who never   20   being my Valentine.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them . We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ”Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values(价值观念) that helped me grow into an adult.

Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.

I also learned from Steve that personal property(财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder.

Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The relationship between Mark and Steve.

B.The important lessons Mark learned in school.

C.Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage.

D.Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

2.When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____.

A.was surprised                          B.felt frightened

C.was light-hearted                       D.cried before her

3.From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____.

A.had a shiny silver pen                    B.respected his teacher

C.hated his father very much                D.once owned a small wooden dog

4.To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him?

A.Respecting life.                         B.Being responsible for one’s behavior.

C.Being honest.                          D.Respecting others’ property
