解析

试题分析：文章大意：本文主要叙述了一位母亲如何教育自己两个孩子成才的故事。一个目不识丁的母亲却教会了孩子如何读书成才，让读书改变了孩子的命运。
小题1:A 考查连词及语境的理解。A因为；B所以；C但是；D虽然。空前是原因，后面是结果，故选A。
小题2:C 考查形容词辨析及语境的理解。A聪明的；B坏的；C慢的；D快速的。根据词义辨析和空前的made jokes可判断答案C。
小题3:B 考查动词辨析及语境的理解。A询问；B决定；C忘记；D听说。从空后的内容判断是：由于孩子在学校受到同学的嘲笑，母亲“决定”亲自让自己的孩子在学校做得更好。故选B。
小题4:C 考查名词及语境的理解。A注意，便条；B口信，信息；C书；D问题。根据空前的library可判断选C。
小题5:A 考查名词辨析及语境的理解。A班级、课堂；B房间；C办公室；D实验室。空后有teacher和asked就可判断这是在课堂上。故选A。
小题6:D 考查上下文串联。根据空前的asked可判断是answer，故选D。
小题7:D 考查副词辨析及语境的理解。A总是；B甚至；C快速地；D从不。根据空前学生们的疑惑和空后的“他可能说什么”可判断，Ben以前“从不”回答问题，故选D。
小题8:C 考查动词辨析及语境的理解。句意：Ben不仅仅认识这块石头，还就这块石头滔滔不绝。found发现；palyed玩；knew知道；threw扔。根据空后的said a lot about it选择C。
小题9:C 考查连词辨析及语境的理解。句意：他还说出了这块石头家族中其他的石头，甚至还知道老师在哪里找到的石头。whether是否；when何时；where何地；why为什么。故选C。
小题10:B 考查形容词辨析及语境的理解。A恐怕，担心的；surprised吃惊的；worried担心的；unhappy不幸福的。从前文“学生们取笑Ben并认为他不可能认识这块石头”到“Ben不仅认识石头而且还知道石头之外的许多”，这足以让老师和学生们大吃一惊，故选B。
小题11:D 考查名词辨析及语境的理解。A图画，照片；B练习；C商店；D报告。句意：Ben都是从他的一本读书报告中知道的所有这一切。故选D。
小题12:A 考查名词辨析及语境的理解。A顶部，顶端；B结尾；C背部；D边感情。句意：后来Ben成为了班里最好的学生。故选A。
小题13:A 考查动词辨析及语境的理解。learned知道，学会；remembered记得，记起；understood理解；guessed猜测。此处说的是Ben长大后，故此处应是“知道”了关于母亲的故事，learn sth about sb知道关于某人的事情。故选A。
故选A。
小题14:B 考查名词辨析及语境的理解。A医生；B孩子；C学生；D老师。as a child当是一个孩子的时候。句意：Ben长大后他知道了小时候不知道的关于母亲的故事。故选B。

A 5R Rule for Environment
1. Reduce(减少)
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.
2. Reuse（再利用）
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
3. Recycle（回收）
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed(打碎) flat and melted(融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans.
4. Recover （恢复）
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5. Repair（修补）
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw—away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
小题1:The “Reduce” rule mainly requires(要求) us ______.
A. to use things wisely
B. to cut down many trees
C. to use less paper
小题2: The right order of recycling coke cans is ______.
a. collect the used cans   b. melt them    c. smash them flat   d. send them to a factory
A. a b c d             B. a d c b         C. d b c a
小题3:The “Recover” rule mainly requires us ______.
A. to throw waste thing away
B. to cover waste thing with the earth
C. to get back the useful parts
小题4: ______ is the best way to do with your broken tables.
A. Throwing them away B. Repairing them       C. Putting them away
小题5: According to the passage, ______ can not be reused.
A. clothes             B. shoes           C. rotten apples
