【解题导语】这是一篇《雾都孤儿》读后感。

作者分析了主人公的生活经历，最后得出结论：施舍于人便是施舍于己。

正如谚语所说的“送人玫瑰，手有余香”。

1．A.in the twenties B．in his twenties
C．in his twenty D．in the twenty
解析：选B。

in his twenties是固定用法，表示“在他二十多岁时”。

2．A.open B．exploit
C．cover D．expose
解析：选D。

根据本句句子结构，此处动词应当与前面的并列动词reveal“揭露”同义。

expose 表示“揭露，揭穿”，符合语境。

open打开；exploit开发；cover覆盖。

3．A.underneath B．behind
C．beyond D．throughout
解析：选A。

此处表示“在……下面”，用underneath。

4．A.poverty B．honor
C．glory D．imagination
解析：选A。

根据and crime可知，要选的词应与crime同类，再根据下文的hunger可推测，应用poverty贫穷。

honor光荣；glory荣耀；imagination想象。

5．A.such like B．such as
C．for example D．for instance
解析：选B。

such as后多接同类并列的几个名词，不接句子；for example和for instance 同义，它们后面常接句子，有时后面可接一个名词。

6．A.Unless B．While
C．Since D．Before
解析：选B。

此处是时间状语，表示同时发生的动作，用While。

7．A.looked down upon B．made an apology for
C．felt sorry for D．played a joke on
解析：选C。

此处用feel sorry for表示“同情”。

look down upon轻视；make an apology for道歉；play a joke on戏弄。

8．A.which B．as
C．that D．it
解析：选B。

分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，且位于句首，只能用as。

9．A.devil B．kindness
C．carelessness D．relationship
解析：选A。

根据语境可知，此处应该是与goodness意义相反的词，因此只能用devil，表示“邪恶”。

kindness好心；carelessness粗心；relationship关系。

10．A.in the end B．on end
C．at the end D．to an end
解析：选A。

此处表示“最终”，用in the end。

11．A.mainly B．best
C．mostly D．most
解析：选D。

此处表示“最吸引我的情节”，其原级形式为much，因此最高级为most。

12．A.set B．launched
C．began D．changed
解析：选C。

此处表示“开始了新的生活”。

13．A.bear B．maintain
C．hold D．remain
解析：选D。

根据下文的形容词pure可知，此处应用系动词，并且有“保持”的意思，故用remain。

14．A.contained B．imported
C．implied D．added
解析：选C。

此处为“暗含”之意，故用imply。

contain含有；import进口；add添加。

15．A.some B．every
C．little D．much
解析：选B。

善行能战胜一切困难。

用every表示“所有的，一切的”。

some某些；little 很少；much很多。

16．A.what B．that
C．which D．who
解析：选A。

此处是“A is to B what C is to D”句型，意思为“A对于B就像C对于D一样”。

what连接表语从句。

17．A.gracious B．earnest
C．modest D．worthless
解析：选D。

由空前的“一个没有善行的人”推断用worthless，表示“无价值的，无用的”。

且下文中的“He who is with...and useful person”也有提示。

gracious亲切的；earnest 真挚的；modest谦逊的。

18．A.where B．in that
C．that D．by which
解析：选C。

谚语意义为“送人玫瑰，手有余香”。

分析句意及句子结构可知这里是定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词that。

19．A.has done B．did
C．had done D．will do
解析：选A。

此处表示“已做的”，用现在完成时。

20．A.harm B．good
C．damage D．justice
解析：选B。

根据上下文语境可知，此处表示“对……有好处”，用do good to。

do justice to公平对待。

Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!
Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly b elow his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.
Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtime reading habit.
Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible.
Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.
50. To make children become interested in reading, parents should _______.
A. tell them what they can learn from these books
B. choose books based on their interest
C. choose the easiest books for them to read
D. always read books together with them
51. Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do?
A. Reduce children’s sleeping time.
B. Read to children when possible.
C. Have reading material available.
D. Pick the right computer games.
52. What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games?
A. Supportive.
B. Negative.
C. Neutral.
D. Doubtful.
53. The main idea of the passage is to ________.
A. help children succeed in school subjects
B. give parents advice on how to educate children
C. remind parents of the importance of reading
D. teach parents how to encourage children to read

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at onc e.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ￥l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you
are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!
54. Even though it was dirty， the money _______.
A. still went up in value
B. was worth nothing
C. didn‘t go down in value
D. was still ours
55. We are always valuable to the people _______.
A. who pay us
B. who call us
C. who hate us
D. who love us
56. The sentence “Hands went back into the air” means “_______”.
A. the students put up their hands again
B. the students put down their hands
C. the students put their hands behind their backs again
D. the students put their hands in front of them
57. Why did the famous teacher use a ￥100 bill at his lesson?
A. Because he wanted to make the bill into a ball.
B. Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and stepped on it.
C. Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.
D. Because he wanted to make the students know what value was.
