Mark Twain’s First Money

He thought a long time and then said , “Yes, it was at school．I can remember everything about it ．School boys in those days did not take good care of their chairs and desks．There was a rule in our school that if anyone damaged his desk or chair, he would have to pay five dollars or the teacher would beat him in front of the whole school．”
“One day I damaged my desk in some way, I had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school．My father said it would be too bad to have our family disgraced in front of the
whole school．He agreed to give me five dollars to hand over the teacher．But before he gave me the money, he took me upstairs and gave me a beating．”

For years I wanted a garden．I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together．
But then we had Matthew, and Marvin, and the twins Alisa and Alan, and then Helen．I was too busy raising them to grow a garden．
Money was not enough．Neither was time．Often when my children were little,
one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside?_____________, you know．”
Finally, all the children got through high school and college and were off on their own．I started thinking again about a garden．
Then, one spring morning, on Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen．Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard．There were things blowing around on it．Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn’t believe what I saw．There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look．It was true! There were dollar bills(帐单), one hundred of them, hanging all over that tree．There was also a note among them, “Thank you for your time, Mom．We love you!”
Later, my children bought me tools, ornaments, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books．A new page started in my life．
That was three years ago．My garden’s now very pretty, just like I wanted．When I go out and take c are of my flowers, I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did．It feels like they’re right there with me．Now every year when winter comes, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I’ll see next spring in my little garden．I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes—every time．
I’m still not sure that money grows on trees．But I know love does!
38．How many children did the writer have?

Everybody can suffer from stress．No matter what your age is, you can feel stressed out by things that are happening in your life．Teenagers, however, have many more opportunities to get stressed than people in any other age group．Being a teenager is hard．You are not a child any more, but you are not an adult, even though you have to deal with some very grown-up problems and decisions．Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with parents arguing at home．or problems with brothers and sisters．Teenagers also have a lot of stress from school, either from their teachers or from their friends．Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school．Getting a place at university can be very difficult and some cannot afford to go to university．The stress about getting a job when finishing school is hard for some teenagers．There are so many young people finishing school and not enough jobs for them．Sadly, there is nothing we can do to remove these causes of stress from the 1ives of teenagers, but you can learn the best way to deal with it．Talking to people is one of the best ways to deal with stress．It may sound simple, but it is true．A problem shared is a problem halved．
42．43．Why is being a teenager often difficult?
A．Because even though you are not an adult, you must deal with adult problems．B．Because even though you are an adult, you must deal with children’s problems．C．Because even though you are a teenager, you must do a lot of homework．D．Because adults often make them feel stressed．

参考答案
1．B
【解析】
试题分析：honest是以元音音素开头的单词，若前面需要不定冠词要用an，故选B。

考点：不定冠词的基本用法。

点评：冠词的基本用法是中考的考点。

尤其是不定冠词a和an的区别是重点。

常考的单词有honest，hour，useful等。

2．D
【解析】
试题分析：根据语境可知此句的含义是在我和你之间没有什么不同，在英语中表示我和你的时候要用you and me,故选D.
考点：人称代词
点评：人称代词并列用法的排列顺序1)单数人称代词并列作主语时，其顺序为：第二人称->第三人称->第一人称即：you and I; he/she/it and I; you, he/she/it and I 2)复数人称代词作主语时，其顺序为：第一人称->第二人称->第三人称即：we and you; you and they; we，you and they 3．A
【解析】
试题分析：在表示时间时,in表示在一个时间范围;at表示在具体时刻;on表示在具体某一天.根据下文the night of May 4th.五月四日晚上，可知指的是具体的某一天，故用介词on，选A。

考点：介词辨析
点评：英语介词的一个特点是一词多义，并且介词间语义交叉现象很多，习惯用法也很多，有时很难从词义上区分开来。

故学习中要注意不断总结，熟记一些介词和动词的固定搭配用法及习惯用法，是完成此类问题的捷径。

4．D
【解析】
试题分析：此题考查的是固定答语，当对方表示感谢时，我们常用you are welcome，that’s all right，it doesn’t matter等形式来回答。

故选D。

考点：固定答语。

点评：英语试题中的情景对话题设计的考点比较广泛、内容多样化，大多是学生日常生活中所熟悉的，具有真实性的场景，但是要给出正确答案，还必须理解具体的语境、对一些常见
的交际用语进行归纳并加以区分，正确使用它们。

掌握特定情景中的固定答语是破解情景对话试题、了解中西文化差异的“金钥匙”。

5．C
【解析】
试题分析：此题考查if引导的条件状语从句和宾语从句的相关知识。

根据语境可知此句的含义是我不知道妈妈是否给我买礼物，如果给我买一个我会很开心的。

前半句是if引导的宾语从句，后半句是条件状语从句。

根据语法知识可知第一个空格要用将来时，第二个空格要用一般现在时，故选C。

考点：if引导的条件状语从句
点评：if既可以引导宾语从句又可以引导状语从句。

if充当宾语从句的连接词时，相当于whether，词义为“是否”，遵循宾语从句的时态规则，可根据语境选择任何时态；充当从属连词，引导条件状语从句时，词义为“如果”，若主句中的谓语动词用一般将来时，则从句中的谓语动词通常用一般现在时表示将来。

6．A
【解析】
试题分析：句意：--在学校，你们多久测试一次？--每个星期一次。

分析选项：How often多久一次（对频率时间进行提问）；How long多长时间或者多长；How soon多久（常对in+段时间进行提问）；How far多远（对距离进行提问）。

结合本句的答语为频率时间，故选A 考点：考查疑问词的用法。

7．B
【解析】
试题分析：此题考查分数的表示方法。

分数在英语中通常是借助于基数词和序数词来共同表达的。

其中基数词表示分子，序数词表示分母。

分子超过1，分母要加s.分数修饰名词时，若该名词是不可数名词只能用单数；若是可数名词，用单数或复数均可。

但是，若它们在句子中作主语，则谓语动词是用单数还是复数取决于名词，即与分数所修饰的名词保持一致。

根据语境可知此句的含义是这所学校的学生大约有四百人，其中五分之三的是男生。

表示…的数量要用名词短语the number of，五分之三要用three fifths, 故选B。

考点：分数的基本用法。

点评：对于分数的考点有这么几个。

第一是分子和分母的表示，到底是用基数词还是用序数词。

第二，分子超过1时，分母的变化；第三分数做主语时谓语动词的取决，到底是用单数
还是复数。

8．B
【解析】试题分析：本题是感叹句，修饰的单词是名词，通常用what，news是不可数名词消息的意思，所以无需加冠词，若名词为可数名词单数需在前加不定冠词，元音音素用an，辅音音素用a，感叹句中how后跟形容词或副词，与本题不符，而后半句time加冠词a表示一段时光的意思，故本题选B。

考点：感叹句的结构。

点评：在英文中，表示感叹句有两种形式，分别为what+名词，或how+形容词或副词，名词前可用单词修饰，可数名词单数前可用不定冠词，注意它们的使用和区别。

9．B
【解析】
试题分析：根据语境可知此句考查的是副词的含义，此句的意思是这个数学测试的第一题非常的难，我几乎没有做出来，根据选择项的提示可知A表示轻松的，C表示最后，D表示接近都不符合题意，故选B表示几乎不…。

考点：副词的含义
点评：对于副词的考查重点是固定短语和副词的基本含义，平常学习过程中不能忽视。

10．D
【解析】
试题分析：现在完成时用来表示之前已发生或完成的动作或状态，其结果的确和现在有联系。

动作或状态发生在过去但它的影响现在还存在；也可表示持续到现在的动作或状态。

其构成：have (has) +过去分词。

根据语境可知此句的含义是我自从搬到这里就在这所学校。

因是延续性动词故用be at,故选D.
考点：现在完成时的基本构成和用法.
点评：注意现在完成时和一般过去时两种时态的区分
(1)一般过去时的谓语动词用过去式，而现在完成时的谓语基本构成是"助动词have /has +过去分词"。

(2)一般过去时通常与表示过去的时间状语连用。

如：yesterday, last week, two years ago, just now, in 2002等；而现在完成时则常与just, already, ever, never等副词和these days, this week, since..., for...等表示一段时间的状语连用。

11．C
【解析】
试题分析：根据语境可知此句的先行词是the neighbor是人，且在从句中做主语故选who，故选C。

考点：定语从句的引导词
点评：定语从句的引导词有关系代词who，whom，whose，which，that，as；关系副词
when，where，why。

定语从句中引导词的选用主要看先行词在定语从句中作什么成分或者是定语从句中缺什么成分。

12．D
【解析】
试题分析：根据语境可知此题考查的固定句型结构“Would you mind doing...?”此句型常用于表示请求时，意思是“请你做……你是否介意？”“请你做……好吗？”是一种比较客气的表达方式。

如果要表示“请你不要做……你是否介意？”“请你不要做……好吗？”只需要在doing前面加上not。

如果同意，表示不介意时，可用如下用语来表达：Certainly / Of course not. / Not at all. / No, not at all. 如果不同意，表示介意时，常用“Sorry / I'm sorry.”（对不起）及陈述某种理由来表示拒绝或反对。

考点：固定句型结构Would you mind doing...?的基本用法
点评：学习这个句型结构时还要注意：
1. “Would you mind doing...?”句型中的would也可用do代替，但语气较生硬，不如用would客气。

2. “Would you mind doing...?”句型中的逻辑主语只能是谈话的对方you。

如果想要对方允许自己做某事，可用“Would you mind my doing...?”句型。

13．C
【解析】
试题分析：以must开头的一般疑问句的否定性常用needn’t和not have to来回答，这是习惯性表示，故选C。

考点：情态动词的基本用法。

点评：对于习惯性的英语的表达方式要死记。

14．D
【解析】
试题分析：本题的含义是她的英语和美国人说的一样好。

as……as……表示……和……一样意思，根据语境可知此句表示一样好，在英语比较级中表示与…一样可用as……as，且用来修饰动词speak，故用副词well故本题选D。

考点：比较级中原级的使用。

点评：在英文中，应注意比较级的结构为“比较级+than”，原级的结构为as+形容词或副词原形+as，或not as+形容词或副词原形+as，应注意它们的使用和区别。

15．D
【解析】
试题分析：此题重点考查宾语从句的时态和语序问题，无论哪种句式结构充当宾语从句都要用陈述句语序，从句的时态要和主句的时态保持一致。

主句的谓语动词是过去式从句的谓语动词也要用相应的过去时态。

若从句表达的是真理或客观事实，不管主句的谓语动词是何种
时态从句都要用一般现在时。

根据选择项的提示可知选择D。

考点：宾语从句的时态和语序问题
点评：宾语从句的考点有三个，其一是引导词，其二是时态其三就是语序。

因此要想把握好宾语从句就必须掌握好这三个方面的相关知识点。

马克吐温讲述了他的第一笔钱。

在我们学校有一个规则，如果有人损坏了他的椅子或桌子，他就必须支付五块钱或老师会在全校面前殴打他。

““有一天，我破坏我的桌，我不得不受到惩罚，我父亲说，这将是太糟糕了，我们的家人在全校面前会丢人，因此他同意给我五块钱交给老师。

而不是在全校里受到殴打。

但在他给我钱之前，他带我上楼，并狠狠的打了我一顿。

被打之后，我决定在学校挨打，并留下五块钱。

所以我做了，那是我曾经获得的第一笔钱。
