解析
小题1:一则广告引起了“我”的注意。
小题2:这份工作不需要经验。其他选项不符合语境。
小题3:look for表示“寻找”,即这似乎正是“我”正在找的工作：容易做,高报酬。
run after表示“追求,追踪”；head for表示“动身前往”；look after表示“照顾”。
小题4:flash表示“闪现,掠过”,即广告中说的这四个词不停地在“我”的头脑中闪现。
小题5:广告中说的那个地址,本段第二句话有提示。
小题6:根据8小题后面的basins可知本题答案。
小题7:sticking表示“竖立着”,即看到水盆里有瓶脖子竖立着。sticking作宾语补足语,被放在了宾语the necks of many bottles of various sizes and shapes的前面。
小题8:工人们在水盆周围的凳子上坐着干活。
小题9:由空后的“left hand”“right hand”可知选B。用手在水池中刷瓶子,刮掉上面的标签。
小题10:根据下面一段第一句话中的bottle可知答案。即左手拿着瓶子,右手刮上面的
标签。
小题11:scratch表示“刮,擦”,符合语境：刮掉瓶子上面的标签。paint表示“油漆,
粉刷”；decorate表示“装饰”；refresh表示“更新,刷新”,均不符合语境。
小题12:根据8空所在的句子可知,工人们是坐在盆子周围的凳子上干活的,因此选B。
小题13:根据文章第一句话可知,故事发生在冬天,因此肯定是很冷的。因此,B项合理。
小题14:spread表示“蔓延,传播”,即冰冷的感觉从手蔓延到全身。
小题15:worse still是固定短语,意思是“更糟糕的是”,符合题意。
小题16:grow与后面的into构成固定搭配,意思是“变成……的样子”。这句话的大意
是：我的手渐渐变成了熟透了的马铃薯的颜色,即冻成了紫红色。
小题17:little by little意思是“渐渐地”,符合语境：一阵麻木的疼痛渐渐从我右手的拇指传来。now and then意思是“不时地”；here and there意思是“到处”；one by one
意思是“一个接着一个地”。
小题18:quit表示“放弃；离开；停止”。由于水太冷了,作者的手被冻得受不了,因此
他要求停止工作。下一段第一句有提示。
小题19:用earned表示“赚得,挣得”。他算出“我”挣了69分钱。
小题20:看着“我”的手,“我”不禁问自己：“容易***工作能得到高报酬吗？” |
举一反三
Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.

小题2:According to the text, how old was Philo when he finished his invention of TV?| A．27 years old. | B．21 years old. | C．33 years old | D．39 years old |
小题3:Philo Farnsworth got the idea for TV from ______. | A．the radio | B．science books | C．potato fields | D．a machine |
小题4: The underlined part “building up” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.| A．starting | B．selling | C．putting up | D．making bigger |
小题5:Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Two rich men gave Philo money to do experiments.
b. Philo sold his own company.
c. Philo beat RCA in law.
d. Philo fixed broken radios.
e. Philo showed his invention to others.| A．d, a, e, c, b | B．e, d, c, b, a | C．d, c, e, b, a | D．a, c, b, d, e |

It was a hot summer day． My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one．
I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day． I ran into my parents’ room to find Dad． When I saw him on the phone, he was crying． I’d never seen my dad cry before． My heart sank． What possibly could have happened?
"Max, I’m so sorry," I heard him say． That’s when it hit me． I knew that Suzie had died． Max has been my dad’s best friend for years． Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body． Her brain was OK． She knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids． Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body． Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life ，she was still happy．
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together． As we grew up, we grew apart． She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest． When Suzie was ten she had to live in a hospital in Virginia． About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end． Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life． She wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate． In a way, she lived through me．
After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral． When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me． I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket（棺材）．
Her funeral was very different from any funeral I’d ever been to． After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her． I remember crying so hard, I felt weak． My cheeks burned from the tears． My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but I’m glad I did it．
When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong． I learned so much from her． She gave me more than I could ever give to her． I will never forget her or the talks we had． I now know that I must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life．
小题1:What does the underlined part “In a way, she lived through me．” mean?| A．Suzie got to know what life outside hospital was like by sharing my experience． | | B．Suzie was financially dependent of me． | | C．Suzie managed to pull through her illness with the help of my family． | | D．Suzie was too weak to live her own life． |
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?| A．Suzie was the only person helping the author with difficulties． | | B．The author feared that she might also get the same disease as Suzie． | | C．The author benefited a lot from talking on the phone with Suzie． | | D．The author didn’t understand Suzie was her true friend until Suzie’s death． |
小题3:What is the most important lesson the author learned from Suzie’s death?| A．Never let go of a friend even if you are apart． | | B．Be thankful for what we have in our life． | | C．Talking with a friend can cure your illness． | | D．We can learn more from our friends than they do from us． |

Once Dr.Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr.Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man’s shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If; you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said．
The change in the patient’s appearance couldn’t have been more obvious．Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and! had also been received．
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat．One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said．
"Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won’t be easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let’s get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it．Or he’ll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later, Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．

A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two week to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of raised hands. Every student would shout to be heard, and I would knock on something in order to silence them. I would yell, “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
小题1:The author took the job to teach writing because______________.| A．he wanted to be respected | B．he had written some stories | | C．he wanted to please his father | D．he had dreamed of being a teacher |
小题2:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?| A．He would be aggressive in his first class. | B．He was well-prepared for his first class. | | C．He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class. | D．He waited long for the arrival of his first class. |
小题3:Before he started his class, the author asked the students to_______.| A．write down their suggestions on the paper cards | | B．cut maple leaves out of the construction paper | | C．cut some cards out the construction paper | | D．write down their names on the paper cards |
小题4: What did the students do when the author started his class?| A．They began to talk. | B．They stayed silent. | | C．They raised their hands. | D．They shouted to be heard. |
小题5:The author chose the composition topic probably because________.| A．he got disappointed with his first class | | B．he had prepared the topic before class. | | C．he wanted to calm down the students | | D．he thought it was an easy topic |

From her first women’s hat shop, opened in 1910, Gabrielle Coco Chanel rose to become one of the most important fashion designers in Paris. Her fashion themes included simple suits and dresses, women’s trousers, perfume (香水) and so on.
She claimed a birth date of 1893 and a birthplace of Auvergne; she was actually born in 1883 in Saumur, though. Her mother worked in a nursing home for pool people. Gabrielle was born there. Her mother died whet she was only six.
