Late one 45 in my cousin’s home,I couldn’t bear the 46 of the bites.Hoping to find some comfort,I 47 my cousin,who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine.Unhappy for being 48 she said,“There is nothing you can do.Go back to sleep.”With a few turns,she slept again.Enviously(妒忌地) 49 her sleep,I hoped a big mosquito would 50 on her face.However,the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly,never biting her.Amazed(惊奇的),I ran to others’ 51 ,only to find they were all sleeping 52 as the same thing occurred again and again.

解析
小题1:leave 意为“离开”。根据下文中的“you stay away from the motherland”和第二段中的“Well,less than a week after my arrival in Manila”可判断出在离开Kennedy Airport in New York之前,作者的祖母对她提出了警告。pass意为“经过,通过,穿过,越过,超过,掠过,前进”;visit意为“拜访,访问,探望,问候”;find意为“找到,获得,发现,(偶然)看见,拾得,遇见”。 小题2:warn意为“警告”。根据作者的祖母说的话“the longer you stay away from the motherland,the sweeter your blood grows to the mosquitoes”可判断出这是一种警告。persuade意为“说服,劝服,使相信”;remind意为“使想起,使记起,提醒”;inform意为“告诉,报告,通知”。 小题3:passenger意为“旅客”。根据上文中的“Right before leaving Kennedy Airport in New York”可判断出这里指的是像作者那样的旅客。student意为“学生”;foreigner意为“外国人”;visitor意为“访问者,来客,来宾;留住客,住客,游客,来游者,参观者”。 小题4:long意为“长”,根据句意选long,表示时间的程度。early意为“早的,早熟的,及早的,早先的,早期的”;soon意为“立刻,即刻,马上,一会儿,不久,没多时”;late意为“迟的,晚(期)的,已故的,新近的”。 小题5:grow意为“变成”,后接形容词,意为“渐渐变得”,强调“逐渐变化”的过程。表示“你离开自己的祖国时间越长,你的血液对蚊子来说变得更甜”。go意为“变得”,主语多是物,往往指向坏的方面转变。flow意为“流,流动”;remain意为“保持,逗留,剩余,残存”。 小题6:believe意为“相信”。根据下文中作者对她祖母说的话“Grandmaaaa,that’s just an old wives’ tale!”可判断出她不相信祖母所说的话。expect意为“期待,预期,预料”;understand意为“懂得,了解,明白,理解,领悟,领会(真意等),熟悉,通晓”;recognize意为“认识,识别,认出,看出,招呼”。 小题7:after意为“在……之后”。根据上下文的内容可判断出作者到达Manila以后不到一周,就挨了蚊子无数的叮咬。before意为“在……以前”;when意为“当……的时候”;as意为“当……的时候”。 小题8:blanket意为“层”,a blanket mosquito bites指作者的身上被蚊子都叮遍了。shade意为“荫,阴处,树阴”;pile意为“堆积,堆”;cloud意为“云”。 小题9:bit意为“咬”。根据上文中的“a blanket mosquito bites”可判断出作者想出了许多防止蚊子叮咬的办法,但都没有用。touch意为“触,碰,摩,摸”;defeat意为“打破,摧毁,打败(敌人),使受挫折”;discover意为“看出,发现,看到”。 小题10:night意为“夜晚”。根据下文中的“who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine”可判断出事情发生在夜里。morning意为“早晨”;afternoon意为“下午”;evening意为“傍晚”。 小题11:pain意为“痛苦”。根据其定语of the bites可判断出作者无法忍受叮咬的痛苦。noise意为“叫喊,嘈杂声,噪音,喧闹声,吵闹”;hit意为“打击,命中,击中”;effect意为“结果,效能,效果,效力,效应,作用,功效,影响”。 小题12:wake up意为“把……叫醒”。根据下文中的“who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine”可判断出作者把睡梦中的表妹叫醒。shout at意为“冲……大声喊叫”;look for意为“寻找”;drop on意为“训斥,惩罚”。 小题13:interrupt意为“打搅”。根据上文中的“I woke up my cousin,who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine”可判断出由于作者的表妹正在睡梦中,被叫醒而感到不高兴。blame意为“责备,谴责,非难,挑剔”;move意为“动,移,移动,搬动”;frighten意为“使惊惧,吓唬”。 小题14:watch意为“注视”。根据下文中的“However,the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly,never biting her.”可判断出注视着表妹睡觉。故选B项。have sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”;make sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”;help意为“帮助”。 小题15:land意为“上岸,着陆”。根据上文中的“Enviously watching her sleep”可判断出出于妒忌,作者希望一个大蚊子落在表妹的脸上。故选A项。fly意为“飞”;fall意为“落下,散落”;wait意为“等,等候,等待”。 小题16:room意为“房间”。根据上文的内容可判断出这个故事发生在作者表妹家里,所以她从这个房间跑到了另外一个房间。house意为“房屋,住宅,住家”;flat意为“公寓”;home意为“家,家庭,家庭生活”。 小题17:soundlessly意为“静悄悄地,无声地,完全静寂地”。根据上文中的“who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine”和下文中的“as the same thing occurred again and again”可判断出另外那个房间的人们也在熟睡中,故选C项。joyfully意为“喜悦地,高兴地”;anxiously意为“忧虑地,不安地”;worriedly意为“忧愁地”。 小题18:accept意为“接受”。根据上文的内容可判断出由于蚊子把作者的全身都叮遍了,她想出各种办法防止蚊子叮咬,但都没有用,而当地人却没有受到蚊子的叮咬,所以作者开始接受祖母说的传说。tell意为“讲,说,告诉,吩咐,命令”;know意为“知道,了解,懂得”;remember意为“记起,想起,回忆起”。 小题19:open mind意为“思想开放”,表示对那些奇怪的传说保持思想开放的态度。active意为“活动的,有活动力的,有生气的,活泼的,灵敏的,敏捷的,主动的,能动的,积极的,有力的,勤勉的”;clear意为“清澈的,透明的”;honest意为“诚实的”。根据全文意思选A项。 小题20:because引导原因状语从句,意为“因为”。根据这两的句子的意思可判断出它们是因果关系,保持思想开放的原因是这些传说的确包含了一些整理。and意为“及,和,与,同”;so意为“因此”;until意为“直到……为止”。 |

A week ago, I read When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read, and that included one trip to the coffee maker and about 10 distractions (分心)from Alex, our cat, who thinks he is the center of the universe. When I first received a copy, I thought it was a get-rich-quick type of publication. There is nothing wrong with that kind of book, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I figure that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse. When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money. I absolutely love this e-book. Why did I wait a week to write the review ? simple. I wanted to see if the impact it had on me could keep up. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle(副标题)which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is. It has been a week and the impact is the same. I guarantee this is an e-book you’ll want to read. I urge you to visit the author’s website, MysterMoney. Com, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it. 小题1:What’s the purpose of the passage?A.to strongly recommend an e-book | B.to show the author’s attitude to money | C.to introduce the general idea of an e-book | D.to tell us Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry | 小题2:The author didn’t write the review right after reading because _____.A.he was too excited to write anything | B.he was not sure whether he liked the book | C.he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission | D.he wondered if this book had a long influence on him | 小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The author had known Rich Ezzo before | B.The author hasn’t dreamed of getting rich instantly | C.The author always prefers e-books to paper books | D.The author likes the get-rich type of publication |

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone"s satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish(完美): “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round". She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands. 小题1:According to the passage, a man’s shopping is based on _______.A.his money | B.his hobbies | C.his need | D.his friends | 小题2:Why does a lady welcome suggestions from anyone while buying a dress?A.Because she wants to buy a dress that every one thinks suits her. | B.Because she doesn’t know how to buy a dress. | C.Because she doesn’t know whether to buy it or not. | D.Because she wants to show herself off in public. | 小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Most men have patience with trying it on while buying a jacket. | B.Most women have a poor sense of value when buying a dress. | C.A woman’s shopping is based on her need. | D.A man doesn’t pay much attention to the price of the clothes he wants to buy. | 小题4:The passage mainly talks about the ______ between men shoppers and women shoppers for clothes.A.similarities | B.differences | C.varieties | D.intentions |
