Question

When I was in junior high,the eighth-grade bully(恶徒)hit me in the stomach. Not only did it hurt and make me angry，but the 1    and shame were almost unbearable. I wanted 2    to even the score！I planned to meet him on the playground the next day and let him 3    it.

For some reason, I told my plan to Nana,my 4    . Surprisingly,she gave me one of her hour-long lectures. Among the many things she told,I unclearly remembered her telling me that I didn't need to 5   about him. She said, "Good deeds 6   good results, and evil deeds lead to bad results." I told her,in a nice way,of course, that I thought she was flill of it. I told her that I did good things all the time，but all I got 7   was "rubbish"！

It took me 30 years to understand the 8   of her words. Nana was living in a board-and-care home in Laguna Hills, California. Each Tuesday，I 9   and took her out to dinner by car. I would always find her neatly 10    sitting in a wheel-chair right by the front door. I clearly remember our very last dinner together before she left there. We 11    to a nearby simple little family-owned res?taurant. I 12    pot roast for Nana and a hamburger for myself. The food 13    and as I dug in,I noticed that Nana wasn，t eating，but staring at the food on her plate. 14    my plate aside，I took Nana's plate to my side and cut her meat into small pieces. I then 15    the plate back in front of her. As she 16    the meat into her mouth very weakly，and with great difficulty，I was struck with a memory that brought 17    tears to my eyes. Forty years 18    ，when I was a little boy，Nana had always cut the meat into small pieces so I could eat it.

It had taken 40 years，but the good deed had been 19   . Nana was right. "Every good deed
you do will someday come back to you." We 20     exactly what we sow.

Answer 1

当作者还在上初中时，受到了高年级学生的欺负。当作者把他的报复计划告诉了祖母后，祖母劝他别为那家伙操心，因为恶有恶报，善有善报。过了三十年，作者终于明白了祖母话中的学问。他用行动报答了祖母对他的疼爱。

1. B从随后所用"were almost unbearable"的表述可知，作者觉得被揍很丢面子。embarrassment表"尴尬"之意。

2. C既然"难以忍受(unbearable)",作者就"极"想讨回公道。desperately拼命地、不顾一切地。

3. D前面说到作者要与对手扯平，而且计划约他在操场上相见，可想而知，作者想要对方"承受" 一拳。have此处表"承受"之意。

4. C从下文可知"Nana"就是作者的祖母。

5. B从下文祖母的劝说"好的行为会导致好的结果，坏的行为会导致坏的结果"来看，祖母是告诉作者不要去因为对方而着急(即不要去为难对方)o complain about抱怨;argue about争辩;talk about谈论。

6. B与下文"evil deeds lead to bad results"相对的情况只能是good deeds会"导致"good results。bring about带来，导致；get around传开;settle down定居，解决；bring up抚养，呕吐。

7. A作者不相信祖母的"好人有好报，恶人有恶报"的信念。他告诉祖母他一直做着好事，可别人回报给他的却是"恶报"。in return作为回报。

8. D在第三段，作者通过自己回报祖母在自己小时候所给予的关爱，明白了祖母三十年前所说的那句含义深刻的话语里的"学问(wisdom)"。

9. C从"each Tuesday"这个时间状语来看，作者前来用车接祖母出去吃饭不是"顺便看望(drop in)";后面有by car这个方式状语，作者不可能"跑来(run up)";pull in表"(汽车等)慢慢驶进" 之意，与前面主语"I"不一致。comeby来串门。

10.D根据neatly(整齐地)一词，此空只能填dressed (穿着).

11.A上文提到by car,所以他们应是"驱车"前往。 

12.D根据后面出现的食物，此处只能用order(点菜).

13.B从下文的"我开始吃(I dug in)"可知，食物必须先"上桌(arrive)" 。serve和cook是及物动词，应说sth. is served / cooked;reach也通常作及物动词，用于reach sp.结构中。

14.A注意到祖母只盯着食物但不吃后，作者将自己的食物"移到"一边。push虽可与aside搭配，但强调了 "移动"的方式，已包括在move的动作中。take aside则表"拿到一边"之意，与语境不符。

15.C将祖母的烤肉切成小片后，"我"将其"放回" 到她跟前。place放置。

16.C西方人进餐用刀叉。此处fork为动词，表"用叉叉起"之意。hand用手(递，传)；distribute 分布;lead把……引向。

17.D看到上述情景，"我"猛地想起了以前的一段往事，泪水"即刻"从眼里流了下来。用instant 一词，强调情感变化的突然性。

18.A此处往事指的是四十年"前"，祖母总是帮"我"把餐桌上盘中的肉切成小片，"我"才能够吃下去的经历。previously arfu.. 之前，意思同ago。

19. B祖母疼爱孙子的行为得到了回报。repay回报，报答；award奖励，授奖。

20. A我们收获我们所种的作物。"We harvest what we sow."由"As you sow,so shall you reap."转变而来，意为"种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆"。fulfill完成，实现；acquire获得，均不符合习惯用法。
