It was pouring outside. We all stood there 21 , some patiently, others annoyed 22 nature messed (弄糟)their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens 23 away the dirt and dust of the world. “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice 24 me . “No, honey. We’ll wait until it 25 down a bit,” Mom replied. The young girl waited about another minute and 26 : “Mom, let’s run through the rain .” “We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said. “No , we won’t , Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she 27 her Mom’s arm . “This morning? 28 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?” “Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said ,” If God can get us through this , he can get us through 29 .” The entire crowd turned 30 . Mom paused and thought for a moment about 31 she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being 32 . But then we heard, “Honey, you are 33. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then 34 they ran. We all stood 35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were 36 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the 37 to their cars. Circumstances (境况)or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your 38 . But no one can ever take away your precious 39 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the 40 to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

解析
小题1:B。外面下雨了,人们都在躲雨,等候雨停。下文母亲的话“We’ll wait until...”也给出了提示。从后半句看,一些人耐心,一些人有些恼怒,所以不能说大家都在抱怨。 小题2:C。别的人恼怒,当然因为大自然的突然降雨打乱了他们正常的工作生活节奏。 小题3:D。雨水冲刷走了世界上的尘土和脏物。 小题4:A。catch me相当于catch my attention,“引起了我的注意力”,因为此前我正沉醉于雨水带来的感受中。并没有让我恼怒,也谈不上给我留下了很深的印象。 小题5:A。slow down指雨下得缓和一点,不能说stop a bit,停止不存在程度上的一点。小题6:B。此句话和前面说的话一样,所以是重复了一遍。 小题7:A。小孩子想让母亲一起在雨中走,而母亲又没有答应,所以孩子要拉着母亲的手往外走。 小题8:C。从女儿的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那话的。 小题9:C。如果上帝能让小孩的父亲度过这一难关,则能让他们度过任何“难关”。 小题10:B。still一动不动;silent沉默,不出声。对于小孩的这一天真美好的愿望,大家显然都事先没有想到,所以都在沉默,并静观下面事情的发展。 小题11:A。what引导宾语从句,what在句中充当say的宾语,母亲在考虑要和女儿怎么说。 小题12:B。母亲知道,孩子说出的话,在一些人看来肯定会是有点傻的,因为上帝是不存在的,这种愿望只是一种幻想。dishonest不诚实的,欺骗的。孩子的说法是一种美好愿望,当然算不上是欺骗。 小题13:A。母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真,所以表示赞同“你是对的”,是肯定孩子的话就是自己讲过的话,而不是说孩子聪明。 小题14:A。run off跑开。此处强调off,故把这个词提前。 小题15:D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注,他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。 小题16:A。从定语从句可知,母女的行为也感染了其他的人,又有几个人也加入她们的行列,在雨中奔跑。follow跟着。 小题17:B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑,很兴奋。 小题18:C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父亲得癌症了,所以说境况可以带走人们的健康。 小题19:B。从下文“… make memories every day!”可知,自己创造的美好记忆是不会被带走的。 小题20:B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住机会做某事,为固定搭配。该句的意思是“抓住创造美好记忆的机会 |
举一反三
Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进,敦促) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详). Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided. We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others. 小题1:Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.
A.day by day; and
| B.gradually; as
| C.gradually; that
| D.century after century; as
| 小题2:Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A.Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
| B.Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
| C.It is because we are forced to do them again and again.
| D.It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away
| 小题3:The bad habits formed by __________
A.children sometimes stay in all their lives
| B.older people sometimes can kill them
| C.persons sometimes can remain with them
| D.younger people sometimes can break them

When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock(吊床). But too often, we return home, tired. It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging(慢跑), or climbing. Rather, we ask the sedentary(久坐的) vacations among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in the city street, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean. These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy. A walk at dawn or dusk helps keep you young. Try to make this a daily habit of life when you’re away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual refreshment. Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games, or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more active! Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacation on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting 小题1: The idea in the text is mainly to _______.A.suggest ways to make vacations relaxing | B.suggest places for relaxing vacations | C.explain the reasons for having vacations | D.explain the relationship between vacations and health | 小题2: Which of the following can be considered as a form of exercise?A.Sitting by a lake. | B.Standing in water. | C.Staying in a car. | D.Enjoying beautiful scenery. | 小题3:In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us to _______.A.have vacations frequently | B.get out of the car frequently | C.go on vacations on foot | D.stay in a car seat |
