解析

本文讲述的是“我”想得到一辆渴望已久的电动玩具车的故事。在圣诞节前，“我”费劲心思缠着爸爸要电动车，做了各种工作但还是被爸爸拒绝了。不过，在那年的圣诞节早晨查看圣诞礼物时，“我”却发现了一个大包裹，打开后发现那里面竟是我一直想要的电动车。
1. A。前面说“我得到了渴望已久的电动车”，而这里用 but 转折，表示的是“你很难相信为了得到这个神圣的礼物我所经受的痛苦和付出的努力”。
2. C。从上下文来看，“我”很早就关注着车，并通过看介绍有关车的杂志来了解信息。
3. A。根据上下文可知，此处说的是“我”终于下定决心买辆电动车。make up one’s mind 为固定短语，意为“下决心”。
4. B。前面说“下决心买电动车”，此处说的是作出决定后就立即开始行动了。set to work 意为“开始行动起来”，下文具体写了所做的工作。
5. D。此处说的是“我”展开的第一项工作，那就是告诉爸爸说“我的那辆旧车的操纵杆失灵了”。Work 是动词，意为“工作，有效”，在这里说的是“操纵杆不灵了”。
6. B。从上下文来看，“我”的第一次工作没有成效，反而被爸爸指责为“我”不会操作。bad driving 意为“不会操作，错误操作”。
7. D。前面“我”是找了旧车操纵杆失灵这样一个借口，从后面的内容特别是引号内的话语可以看出，“我”的下一个计划就更明确、直白了。
8. A。这是“我”力劝爸爸买电动车的话。从 …with controller and battery pack—all for only US$250 及后面的 …miss out on this bargain 等可推测，此处应选用 afford。can / be able to afford… 是常见搭配，意为“省出或找到足够的时间或金钱去(做某事)；……得起”。
9. D。从 …and for US$250 you could buy… 等来看，爸爸的反应确实是不想买电动车。
10. D。根据上文的 You couldn’t ___ to miss out on this bargain 等可推测此处应填 bargain。
11. B。这里说的是爸爸的观点。与其买电动车，倒不如买一架像望远镜一样具有教育意义的东西。something like 意为“像……样的东西”。
12 C 从 when I’m 97 years old 及后面的 This is my youth 等来推测，此处说的是“要看月亮，那就等到 97 岁时住在养老院里看好了”。这是作者对爸爸提议买望远镜的一句气话。
13. D。从前面多次提到买车被爸爸拒绝，后面又有 …how mean my father was 及后面的 …he didn’t ___14___ that I would die… 等来推测，此处说的是“我”对爸爸的吝啬很“恼怒”。
14. C。前面说“我”很恼怒，再结合后面的 …that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-controlled truck 等推测，“我”觉得爸爸才不“在乎”呢！
15. B。根据时间状语 on Christmas morning，可知讲的是“我”在圣诞节的早晨醒来后查看礼物时发生的故事。
16. D。按照常例，西方儿童在圣诞节早晨收到礼物是激动和兴奋的，可此刻“我”却兴奋不起来，因为“我”要车的幻想破灭了。此处用 defeat正好符合“我”当时的心理。
17. C。从前面的 I opened all my presents until there was just one big package… 等可推测，此处说的是“直到还剩下最后一个包裹”。
18. D。从上下文来看，此时只剩下这最后一个包裹，于是“我”就打开包装，这与后面的看到里面的东西相符合。
19. A。与上面的 I had been defeated 相对，此处描写的是当我得到盼望已久的车时高兴的心情，“我”终于“赢”了。
20. D。前面一直在责怪爸爸不给“我”买车，当得到车后，“我”高兴得觉得能做任何事情，后面进一步说“我甚至能在英语课上得 A+”。
举一反三
Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary, from the computer in his parents’ home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) find out the world’s most wanted cyber criminals(网络犯罪分子).
Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus(病毒) in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected(嫌疑的) sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.
Jonathan’s special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the “virtual” crimewave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother’s football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e-security(电子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker (黑客) trade.

When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e-mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the “Melissa” virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.

I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”
Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning.

One night, a woman executive (懂事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

Boxing was long viewed sickly. Generally forbidden by law in earlier days, the fighting was usually done with bare fists, and matches often lasted forty or fifty rounds.
In 1882 John L. Sullivan, a fighter of great power, won the world heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in a bare fisted battle marked by hitting, scratching, and biting without any rule. Five years later, while fighting Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis, Sullivan broke his right arm in the third round, but he continued fighting to the sixth round and won. In 1889, Sullivan defeated Jade Kilrain with his bare fists in another championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize medal. His admirers talked then of running him for the next governor, but he traveled to Australia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only to lose his title in a twenty-one-round match with a young Californian named James J. Corbett.
“Gentleman James” victory in this match marked a turning point, for it showed scientific boxing was over strength. But Corbett’s title ended in 1897, when another boxer, Bob Fitzsimmons, in less than three seconds, achieved his feats and then Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch.”
小题1: Boxing matches in the early days were ________.
A．short and bloodyB．usually spare-time competitions
C．governed by strict rulesD．cruel
小题2:Sullivan held the world’s heavyweight title for ________.
A．at least seven yearsB．only a year
C．five yearsD．twenty-one years
小题3:Sullivan’s fight with Kilrain was ________.
A．the first boxing championship match
B．a bare-fisted championship fight
C．the last boxing match to be fought bare-fisted
D．a six-round match
小题4:Sullivan was so popular that his admirers ________.
A．encouraged him to be a governor
B．raised twenty thousand dollars for him
