母爱是伟大的。它深藏在母亲的内心——不会轻易表露出来——和表现在母亲为孩子所作出的牺牲中——它给母亲自己却带来了疤痕。文章中的这个小男孩后来认识到了这一点。
题号      答案      考查内容解题依据      解题分析
1、前后照应逻辑推理词义比较 小男孩邀请妈妈去参加学校的第一次家长会。从后文不难看出,小男孩不想要他妈妈去,因为他妈妈脸上有疤痕,可他妈妈却愿意去,这事使得小男孩不快乐(enjoyment),不激动(excitement),不吃惊(surprise),而是很失望(disappointment),因为这样会让他尴尬,让他蒙羞。
2、语法规则 此句考查过去将来时态(would)。
3、前后照应词义比较 这将是第一次他妈妈与老师和同学会面(meet)。notice(注意到),greet(问候,打招呼),accept(认可,接受)都应该发生在meet动作之后,meet是先决起始动作。前文的his school’s first teacher-parent meeting已有所暗示。
4、常识运用前后照应词义比较 小男孩因为他妈妈的外表——脸上有块疤痕——而感到羞愧(ashamed),而不是恶心(sick),害怕(afraid),疲惫(tired)。后文的the little boy was still embarrassed (尴尬) and hid himself from everyone有所暗示。
5、词义辨析常识运用逻辑推理 妈妈的整个右脸上是一块明显的疤痕。疤痕在脸上不是包住(include)脸面,不是通过(pass)脸面,也不是遮蔽(shade)脸面,而是直接覆盖/铺在脸面上。include包住, 关住,包含, 包括;pass经过,通过;cover覆盖,铺,往往是物体与物体之间直接接触;shade遮蔽,使变暗,往往强调与物体之间有一定的空隙,使光变暗而形成遮蔽。
6、前后照应逻辑推理常识运用 小男孩很在乎(care about),也想过(think about),但没有听人说过(hear about),从来就不愿谈论(talk about)妈妈为什么又怎么得上的疤痕。
7、词义比较逻辑推理 家长会上,妈妈的自然的美貌和亲切的举动给到会的人留下了深刻的印象(impress)。impress使得深刻印象,打动;surprise使惊奇/惊讶;excite使兴奋, 使激动;comfort安慰, 使舒适。
8、词义比较逻辑推理 虽然(in spite of)妈妈脸上有疤痕,但这疤痕却掩饰不住妈妈的美丽和亲切。in sight of临近, 可被...望见;by means of通过,用,借助于;by way of 经由, 作为, 为了;in spite of虽然,尽管…仍,相当于though she had the scar on her face。
9、逻辑推理词义比较 但小男孩仍然感到尴尬难堪,而把自己藏(hide)起来,以免被大家看见。hide隐藏,掩饰,强调不被他人看见、发现;protect保护,强调不被他人伤害;separate分开, 隔离,使之不聚在一起;escape逃避, 避免,强调不被他人逮住而免去责任。
10    C    词、逻辑推理常识运用      他真的躲避了起来,却听到(hear)了妈妈和老师之间的一段对话。注意within(在……的范围内, 不超出……的范围)的意义。hear是先决起始动作,先有了hear,而后才会有understand(明白,了解)、learn(获悉)和remind(提醒,使想起)。
11、常识运用逻辑推理词义比较      老师询问的是妈妈脸上的疤痕,就肯定是小心谨慎地(carefully),而决不是、也用不着严肃认真地(seriously),紧张不安(nervously),忧虑不安地(anxiously)。
12、语句连贯词义比较      事情发生在小男孩还是婴儿的时候(when)。as当……时,通常指伴随着另一情况而发生;when当…的时候,指某一行为或情况发生之时,另一行为或情况也发生,通常是短暂行为;since自……以来,通常与现在完成时态连用;while当……的时候,通常指与另一情况的同时发生,表示持续行为。
13、句法结构      此题考查too…to do sth.的结构。
14、逻辑推理固定搭配      因为火控制不住(out of control),所以大家就都不敢闯进去救人。out of control不受控制,失去了控制;under control被控制住;in control在控制之下;over不与control搭配。
15、词义比较逻辑推理      妈妈被坠落的木头撞得失去了知觉(senseless)。helpless无助的, 无能的, 没用的;hopeless没有希望的, 绝望的, 不可救药;senseless不省人事的, 无感觉的;useless无用的, 无效的, 无益的。
16、词义比较逻辑推理前后照应      妈妈她用不着指着(point),擦揩(wipe)脸面,老师能够看得到,它也用不着展示(show),而是摸了摸(touch)她烧坏的右脸,有所感触。注意与后句的联系。
17、词义比较逻辑推理     这个疤痕很丑(ugly),很严重(serious),很恐怖(frightening),这都没有关系,问题是它会持久(lasting)而再也抹不去。 
18、词义比较逻辑推理常识运用     可即便是这样,且直到今天,我忘不了(forget),我也考虑(consider)了,我也认可(recognize)了,但我从来没有后悔(regret)过我所做的一切。
19、词义辨析逻辑推理      小男孩把妈妈楼在怀里,他感到了妈妈为他作出的牺牲的重大意义(sense)。honor尊敬,敬意,荣誉,光荣;sense意义,意味,意思;happiness幸福,快乐;pride自豪,骄傲。
20、词义比较逻辑推理      在这天余下的时间里,他不是突然地(suddenly),静静地(quietly),轻微地(slightly),而是紧紧地(tightly)握着妈妈的手。

I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions(文学志向) were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated(孤独) and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.
However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair-like teeth” - a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local(地方的) newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.
56.The underlined word“it” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
A.the quantity of serious writing                   B.the writer’s first poem
C.the writer’s childhood                               D.the tiger in the poem
57.From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer ________.
A.had no playmates                                     B.showed his gift for writing
C.put out lots of poems and stories                D.got his first poem published in 1916
58.What can be inferred about the writer?
A.He was least favoured in his family.           B.He had much difficulty in talking with others.
C.He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.
D.His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.

What am I doing with my daughter at home? Rather than read aloud from books, we
go to dinner and have a very good time. This is usually when her Mom isn't around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better. They're alone together so much. We're seldom alone. When we're alone together, she and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other. She learns that I'm her father. I learn that she's my daughter. It's a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I'm talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is. Where'd she suddenly come from? And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?
When my daughter and I are alone she'll hold my hand and say, “I just love you so much, Daddy!” She's so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We've got so much to do, Dad!” There's nothing like it in the world.
I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I've been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something—anything!
But this closeness is not without its problems. When I'm sitting there playing with her Barbie doll(巴比娃娃), washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “I've got to get a drink and get out of here.” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes, “Look at yourself! You're washing dolls!”
1.Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week?
A. He wants her to buy more things for the family. 
B. She can do whatever she likes with the money. 
C. He can spend more time with his daughter. 
D. She can spend more time with her friends.   
2. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The father spends more time with the daughter than the mother does. 
B.The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away.
C.The father is happy, hearing “We've got so much to do, Dad!” 
D.The father is sure that the daughter is not his own.   
3.What does the last paragraph tell us about the father?
A.He doesn't enjoy being with his daughter. 
B.He doesn't like washing his daughter's hair. 
C.He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink. 
D.He has mixed feelings when he is with his daughter.

After reading a magazine article, I know that Japanese people give out their business cards   35  they greet others and they would like others to look at their cards carefully. So I should have read your   36  before I put it in my pocket. And I also know why you bought so many things   37 . Because gift-giving is expected in Japan and on a trip, you must bring back lots of   38 . As for the OK sign, I now know it is a request for small change.
I feel very sorry for not having known these   39  habits earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope   40  our next meeting will be happier.
