When my parents were alive，they were not very rich．Yet they helped their two old
题型：不详难度：来源：
When my parents were alive，they were not very rich．Yet they helped their two older time after time．When Daddy passed away，his notebook showed debts from several of his children．I was not among them．I borrowed money and when I did，I set a repayment plan and to it．It was a matter of with me．I couldn’t stand owing my parents-or anyone else-mmoney because I watched them to help out my older sisters when they were in financial difficulties themselves．
These days，after the death of my parents，I am one of those people who can be to for help when they need it．Just as I can’t stand other people money，I can’t stand saying no to whoever needs help．I don’t helping others，but I would be more than glad if they would make a(n) to handle things themselves，perhaps by doing some planning-like planning not to speend money they don’t have!
Being ready to help others is a ，but sometimes the result will be to what you expect．I remember as a child what my father always said， “If at first you don’t succeed，try，try again!” Helping my children too often has them from learning to keep trying．Use your ：who among my children will to walk if I supply the money to buy a car? Helped often，my children lost gradually the ability to problems themselves．
In most ，when people find you can help，they will ask you more and more．That"s human，you know．

解析
试题分析：遇到问题应该自己努力想办法去解决，如果一个人总是在困难时候有人帮助，那么他或者她往往会养成一种依赖心理，从而失去自己解决问题的能力。在本文中作者通过回忆自己和父母对姐姐们的帮助向读者说明了这个道理。
小题1:B名词辨析。A．儿子； B．女儿 ；C．兄弟；D．姐妹。根据第一段I was not among them和第一段末句I watched them 26 to help out my older sisters ….可以判断父母时不时的去帮助他们的女儿，也就是作者的姐姐，所以答案选B．
小题2:C形容词辨析。A．缺席的 ； B．分开的；C．到期的； D．不同的。根据空前debts可知父母在本子上记录的是她们到期应缴的欠款，答案选C。
小题3:B副词辨析。A．总是；B．几乎不 ；C．常常；D．从不。根据下文的讲述可知作者很少借钱，如果借钱了也要制定好偿还计划，答案选B。

小题7:B动词辨析。A．提及，参考； B．转向 ；C．看见； D．参加，照顾。从上下文可知作者自己很少陷入财政问题，所以父母去世后，姐姐们会找他帮忙，turn to sb for help“找人求助”，答案选B。
小题8:D动词辨析。A．欺骗； B．捐赠；C．借出；D．欠。根据第一段内容I couldn’t stand owing my parents-or anyone else-money可知作者不愿意欠别人钱，故答案选D。
小题9:B动词辨析。A．享受；B．介意； C．喜欢 ；D．想念。根据前句I can’t stand saying no to whoever needs help．可知作者愿意帮助别人，所以选B。句意：我不介意帮助别人，但是……

小题15:C动词辨析。A禁止；B．保护； C．阻止； D．释放。如果一个人不成功，要不断地去努力，但是别人过多的帮助会让他们不再去努力，从而滋养了他们的惰性，由此可知答案选C，prevent sb from doing sth “阻止某人做某事”，其他不符合语境。

小题17:D动词辨析。A．等待 B．催促，敦促； C．威胁； D．选择。根据上下文内容可以判断作者认为给予一个人太多的帮助会助长人的懒惰，由此判断作者借用“有人给钱买车谁还会走呢”来说明这个道理，wait to do sth “等着做某事”答案选A，。
小题18:A动词辨析。A．解决； B．评定，评估； C．寻找； D分析。由上文判断一个人如果遇到问题总是等着别人帮助解决，从而自己就会失去解决问题的能力，答案选A。

One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
小题1:When he first met the author, David_________. | A．felt a little excited | B．walked stubbornly | | C．looked a little nervous | D．showed up with his teacher |
小题2:As a psychologist, the author __________. | A．was uncertain about psychology | B．was ready to listen to David | | C．was able to describe David’s problem | D．was sure of solving David’s problem |
小题3:David enjoyed being with the author because he____________. | A．needed to share pain with the author | | B．wanted to ask the author for advice | | C．liked the children’s drawing in the office | | D．beat the author many times in the chess game |
小题4:What can be inferred about David? | A．He recovered after months of treatment. | | B．He liked biking before he lost his family. | | C．He went into university soon after starting to talk. | | D．He got friends in school before he met the author. |
小题5:What made David change? | A．His teacher’s help. | | B．His exchange of letters with the author. | | C．The author’s friendship. | | D．The author’s silent communication with him. |

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
小题1:What’s the right order of the following events?
① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.
② I went to the jungle.
③ I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.
④ I lay on the ground to have a break.
⑤ I picked fruits and chopped firewood.| A．②③⑤①④ | B．⑤③②④① | C．②⑤④③① | D．⑤④③②① |
小题2:How does the author feel about the ant?| A．He admired its attitude toward work. | | B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts. | | C．He showed sympathy for the little ant. | | D．He was content to have it as a companion. |
小题3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably .| A．work harder than before | B．talk to the man on the horse | | C．make his way home | D．stay in the valley |
小题4:We can learn from the passage that the author .| A．enjoyed being alone | | B．experienced a world of quietness | | C．missed his busy life in the city | | D．had an unforgettable adventure |
