阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad _36_ stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t _37_ it, but I could pray from the _38_ we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or _39_ and go home empty-handed. That corner _40_ either mouth-watering excitement or _41_.
On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the _42_ sound of his offer. It _43_. “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to _44_ today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊). I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some _45_ for odd jobs(零活). But _46_ it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of _47_, I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll _48_.” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to _49_. But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt _50_ for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or _51_ act disappointed.
I _52_ that generosity(慷慨)goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the _53_ ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We _54_ another trip the next week. As we _55_ the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”

解析【小题1】C. 根据文章上句中often 和第二段开头一句中的again可知,我们常停下来买冰淇淋。故选C. frequently。
【小题2】A. 根据文章文意可知,我作为孩子,渴望得到冰淇淋。A项expect意为“(心理上的)期待、渴望”。C项wait为不及物动词,意思、语法上均不正确,其它选项意思不符。
【小题3】D。根据上下文可知,从我们开始往家赶的“一刻”,我就开始祈祷,希望能得到,故选D。
【小题4】C。根据上文“go straight for the ice cream or…”和下文“go home empty-handed”可知,我们或者直接去买冰淇淋,或者空手而回。C项turn意为“转弯、掉头”,正符合文意。
【小题5】B。根据文章上下文和常识可知,在这里,我可以得到美味的冰淇淋,所以,这个拐角意味着(meant) 快乐或失望。故B项最佳。
【小题6】D。根据 “mouth-watering excitement”和文意,得到冰淇淋我会快乐,否则就是失望。故选D项disappointment。
【小题7】D。根据文意,我希望听到父亲主动提出买冰淇淋,对一个孩子来说,这样的声音是“beautiful”(美好的),故选D最佳,其它选项意思不符。
【小题8】A。根据文章上文,我期盼的声音终于来了(came),B项最佳。C项spoke的主语应该是人,而其它两项不符合文意。
【小题9】B。根据文章结尾处“treat”,父亲这次让我“出钱请客”。注意C项buy不正确,因为,我可以买冰淇淋,但不一定我出钱。其它两项意思不符。
【小题10】A。根据文意和“plus”可知,我每个星期除了得到25美分,而且干零活得到“额外”的钱,故选A项。
【小题11】C。根据文意,我虽然有足够的钱,但当(when)让我拿来买冰淇淋时,我就舍不得。故选C。其它选项意思不符。
【小题12】D。根据下文可以推知,我出于自私(selfishness)而放弃了请客吃冰淇淋的念头,故选D项。
【小题13】C。根据文意,我既然不愿请客吃冰淇淋,就只好放弃了。注意pass在此意思是“免掉,不要”。
【小题14】A。上文提到I realized how wrong I was,所以我后悔自己的自私,从而央求父亲掉转车头(turn back),故A项最佳。
【小题15】B。根据上文父亲的回答可知,他实际上委婉的拒绝了我的恳求,所以我感到awful(懊恼的、糟糕的),故选B项。
【小题16】A。根据文意,父亲对我的行为并不介意,甚至(even)没表现出失望。故选A。其它选项不符合文意。
【小题17】B。根据文意,我从此事认识到慷慨是双向的。B .learned意思是“认识到、意识到,从……得到教训”,为最佳选项。
【小题18】D。根据文意可推知,我在想:如果我当时请客吃了冰淇淋,将是对父亲多年来的回报,也将是我所吃到的最好的冰淇淋。其它选项不符合文意。
【小题19】C。go on a trip为词组,意思是“去旅行”。
【小题20】D。根据上文可知,我已经做错了一次。当再次出游时,将到拐角处时,我就主动提出请客,approach正符合文意。

       In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36   a different life.

For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was   52   of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was    55     .
