A child 23 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's 24 : helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than 25 playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 26 playing with dolls.

These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the 27 children.

16．B在富裕的世界里孩子们在遭受着不同的贫困即，精神。根据but一词可知富裕世界也存在弊端，生活在优越环境中的孩子“遭受”着精神贫困。故选B项。

17．C在富裕的世界里孩子们在遭受着不同的贫困即：精神。例如：仅仅一个西方国家每年就有就见证了十五岁以下的孩子有14000的自杀未遂。As usual 像往常一样；For instance例如；In fact 实际上；In other words换句话说。根据空后内容可知此处应表示举例说明，故选C项。

18．A五个孩子中就有一个需要心理上的开导。根据固定短语：one in + 数字…中的一个，几分之一，所以A正确.

19．A在第三世界有许多关于童年的美好的事情。根据文章开头第一段第一句话The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that 表明本文是关于第三世界的孩子的童年的调查，所以A正确。

20．C在西方工作的本质就把距离摆在了成年人和孩子之间。根据下文But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices是举例说明孩子和家长之间的距离，所以C正确。 21．B但是在第三世界的村子里爸爸和妈妈不是每天去几英里之外去上班，而是孩子看见爸爸，妈妈和亲戚邻居们在附近工作。根据前后两句之间的关系可以判定是做对比， Anyhow 无论如何；However然而；Instead 反而；Still仍然，所以C正确。

第12页 共38页

22．C而是孩子看见爸爸，妈妈和亲戚邻居们在附近工作。away远；alone 独自一人；nearby附近；along 沿着。根据句意C正确。 23．D一个通过这种方式长大的孩子通过加入社区的工作了解了他或她所起的作用。根据下一段第一句的开头部分可以推断出D正确。 24．D一个通过这种方式长大的孩子通过加入社区的工作了解了他或她所起的作用。根据冒号后面的内容可知是“工作”。如果选择A项，则需要用复数形式，所以D正确。 25．B帮助挖或建，照顾动物或婴儿——而不是在幼儿园玩水玩沙，养宠物或者玩玩具娃娃。根据前线索through joining in the community's ，可以判断是通过through，所以B正确。 26．A帮助挖或建，照顾动物或婴儿——而不是在幼儿园玩水玩沙，养宠物或者玩玩具娃娃。根据句意是或者，所以A正确。 27．A这些孩子长大们可能会比西方的孩子有更少的空间和时间的压迫感。本文是将第三世界的孩子与“西方”国家的孩子的童年时代进行对比，前半句是说第三世界的孩子，因此这里选D项。

28．C at any moment 在任何时候；at the same time同时；on the other hand 但是，表转折；on the whole大体上，根据前后句可以判断出是进行对比。on the other hand“另一方面，但是 ”所以C正确。

29．D但是在富裕的世界，孩子们被给与一块手表作为长大的最早的标志。在西方国家，戴手表是长大的一种标志。此处强调的是时间。所以D正确。

30．A所以，他们能关心和父母一起在学校的时间，吃饭的时间，睡觉时间晚，电视节目时间去掉句中的along with their parents这一修饰语，就比较容易理解了。so that后面跟的是结果状语从句，care about 关心，在意，所以A正确。

31．C第三世界的孩子们不必经常呆在室内，更不必说在高楼里了，根据后面to do sth.,构成短语have to do sth 不得不，非得；don’t have to意为“不必”，相当于needn’t，所以C正确。

32．A通常会有学习和玩的自由的感觉。根据前面children do not usually 31 to stay indoors 和Instead of dangerous roads, \off the grass\signs and \speak to strangers\前面提到他们不必一直守在家中，由此可判断他们有学习和玩耍的“自由”。下一句的前半句也提供了暗示。

33．B家长可以看到孩子们在外面玩而不是焦虑地从十层的高楼上观察。eagerly渴望地；anxiously焦虑地；impatiently没有耐心地；proudly自豪地，父母担心的是外出玩耍的孩子的安全，所以B正确。

34．C当然了，每年仍然有十二亿五岁以下的儿童遭受着饥饿和疾病。Above all 首先，最重要的是；In the end最后；Of course当然了；What's more而且，根据后面的but表转折关系，根据句意所以C正确。 35．D但是第三世界的孩子们也不完全的糟糕。本文叙述第三世界国家孩子的童年时代也有许多好处，再结合本句中的but一词可知表示肯定意义。所以D正确。 6

With opening night only a week away, I was 17 learning my lines. I was having trouble 18 my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously 19 giving up both acting and San Francisco. 20 had become too much for me.

As I walked down 21 streets under tall buildings, I felt very 22 and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned 23 , half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. 24 I saw was a shining streetlight. 25 , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run fast. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

26 I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to 27 I’d heard the noise. 28 I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about 29 the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice 30 from the inside. “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an 31 look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, 32 a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I 33 get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I 34 had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place 35 people were willing to help each other. 16．A. exercise B. work

【文章大意】在一个失意的夜晚作者独自回家，工作及生活的不顺使作者心情沮丧，甚至于考虑要放弃在旧金山这个大都市的生活。然而随后发生的钱包失而复得的事情却让作者感受到了人们之间的温暖，也感受到了世界的美好，内心又充满了对城市生活的希望。

16．C从下文With opening night only a week away,可知作者在剧院排练，practice强调提高技巧的训练，而exercise强调习题，故选C项。

17．A从前句内容可知离首映只有几周时间了，作者台词还没记住，所以用still“仍然”表示作者无奈和沮丧的心情。故选A项。 18．D固定短语have trouble doing sth “做某事有困难”，故排除A、D选项。 deal with“处理；对付”，而handle是及物动词，不和介词连用，故选D项。

19．B Think of “想起，认为”；think about “考虑”； think over“仔细考虑”；think out“想出”。

第17页 共38页

从语境可知作者在想放弃，所以用think about，故选B项。

20．A由文章末段….had gotten back some enjoyment of city life可以判断作者打算放弃都市生活，故选A项。

21．D busy忙碌的，繁忙的；crowded拥挤的；noisy吵闹的；empty空寂的，空的。根据下文The street was empty，故选D项。

22．C proud骄傲的；confident自信的；small小的；excited激动的。从文章叙述可知此时作者心情沮丧，在空荡荡的大街上，自然会感到自己的渺小，无助。故选C项。

23．D fast强调运动着的物体速度快，而quickly指动作的迅速发生；rapidly强调短期内发生，由语境可知作者听到声音后是迅速转身去看，所以应该用quickly，故选D项。

24．B代从结构可以判断此句缺少主语，I saw是省略关系代词的定语从句， all 后面不能用which引导的定语从句；而that 和which 前没有先行词，由此判断选B项。

25．B Therefore因此；Still仍然；Consequently因此；Subsequently随后，后来。根据上下文可知尽管作者回头没看到想象的坏人，可是声音还是让他紧张害怕，故选B项。

26．A Suddenly突然；Gradually逐渐地；Absolutely绝对地；Exactly确切地。从上文可知作者身心疲倦，而看到钱包丢了的时候，立即跑回大街上去找，所以用suddenly表示状况的迅速转变，故选A项。

27．C根据语法可知此处是to后面跟宾语从句，从句意思完整，不缺少成分，所以用where做地点状语。故选C项。

28．B Even if即使；Although虽然；As if仿佛；As though仿佛，好像。从上下文可知此处是转折关系，尽管我找了15分钟，我的钱包还是没有找到，而even if 含有假设的意味，故选B项。

29．C give in 让步；give up放弃。固定短语be about to do “正要做某事”，根据语境可知作者找不到钱包，正打算放弃，故选C项。

30．A考查非谓语。从结构可知此处是when引导的状语从句，从句缺少谓语动词，而且和句子主语是主动关系，故选A项。

31．D amusing滑稽可笑的；amazing令人惊讶的；amazed感到惊讶的；amused逗乐的，觉得好笑的。从语境可知开车的人看着作者的惊讶，觉得很好笑，故选D项。

32．B hold up 举起； hold on 坚持。从语境可知此时开车人一边问，一边举着钱包，而由语法结构判断只有现在分词短语可以表示伴随状况，再根据词意可知选B项。

33．B从上文可知作者找到钱包时已经是凌晨三点了，此处指作者没有多长的休息时间了，故用过去将来时态，故选B项。

34．C根据上文可知陌生人把捡到的钱包还给了作者，由此推断作者内心应该是感激的、开心的，所以作者不但找回了钱包，而且也找回了城市生活的快乐，故选C项。

35．D as far as远至，据；as well as和……一样好；as soon as一……就；as long as只要。根据语境可知作者认为如果人们彼此帮助，城市也不是冷漠无情的，而是一个很好的居住地，故选D项。 8

He looked like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse 28 him as a child, “Get that kid out of here now!” The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the usually 29 lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse’s face, saying in a 30 tone of voice, “He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!” Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny baby 31 the battle to live. And he began to sing. 32 the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang:

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray…” 33 the baby girl responded. The pulse rate began to 34 down and became steady.

“Keep on singing, Michael.” encouraged Karen. “You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away…”As Michael sang to his sister, the baby's breath became as smooth as a kitten’s purr.

“Keep on singing, Michael.” “The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping…” Michael’s little sister relaxed as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her.

Funeral plans were 35 . The next day — the very next day — the little girl was well

（2014届江苏省泰州市姜堰区高三上学期期中）

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee 16 your day?

One day I was in a taxi and we headed 17 the airport. We were driving in the 18 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 19 , slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and 20 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 21 at us.

My taxi driver just 22 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 23 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 24 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 25 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 26 . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Believe me. You’ll be 27 . Don’t take their garbage and 28 it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 29 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 30 in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you 31 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 32 them more frequently.

So, Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 33 it!

When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 34 go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day! Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 35 the harvest you reap tomorrow.

16．A. enrich B. Ruin

C. spare D. obtain 17．A. through B. to

C. in D. for 18．A. latter B. right

【文章大意】本文叙述了作者乘坐出租车时发生的事情，通过出租车司机的一番话，阐明一个道理：记住美好的，忘却不愉快的，专注重要的；对待生活的态度决定生活的状态。 16．B下文叙述的是出租车司机的豁达和睿智：不要让那些满腹怒气骂骂咧咧的人影响自己的心情，做自己该做的事情。作者设问“你会让……等人毁坏你一天的心情吗”以引起下文。ruin毁坏；enrich丰富；spare抽出、腾出；obtain获得。均与下文语境不合。故B项正确。 17．D head for前往。介词for表示方向。类似的短语还有leave for. 故D项正确。

18．B latter后者；right正确的；右边的；opposite相反的；对面的；free有空的；免费的；自由的；作者乘坐的出租车应该是在“正确的”车道上行驶。作者提及此事是为了衬托下文小车司机的无礼。故选择B项。 19．A一辆小车突然从路旁停车位驶出，出租车司机只得猛踩“刹车”。故选择brakes（车刹），A项正确。常理可知“门窗、座位”不合题意。

20．C knock敲；overtake超过、超越；miss错过；思念；lose遗失。出租车司机紧急刹车、向傍边猛打方向，才避免了与小车相撞。miss错过；未击中。故C项正确。 21．D从下文作者不理解出租车司机的友善举动可推断，此处应该是小车司机无礼。laugh at嘲笑；throw sth. at sb: 将某物向某人砸过去； glance at: 看一眼；yell at sb. 对某人吼叫。故选择D项。

22．B此处显示出租车司机的大度，对着对方“微笑、挥手”，丝毫没有因为小车司机有错且无礼以及差点发生的严重后果而生气，反而主动示好。wonder想知道、纳闷；guess猜测； ignore: 不理、忽略。不合语境。故选择B项。

第37页 共38页

23．A出租车司机主动示好不是因为怕事或敷衍，而是真诚地表示友善。所以作者不能理解。angry愤怒的；disappointed失望的；tired疲劳的，故选friendly，A项正确。

24．C expectation期望、期待；passenger乘客；garbage垃圾；goods货物。前一句提到“垃圾车定律”。这里及后文是对该定律的解释：许多人就像垃圾车，满腹沮丧、愤怒、失望等垃圾，垃圾满了就要倾倒。故选C项。

25．D turn up出现；push推；hold up延误；pile up堆积。垃圾堆积起来就需要找地方倾倒。pile up堆积。故D项正确。

26．C road道路；child儿童；you你；dustbin垃圾箱。这些满腹“垃圾”的人有时会将不良情绪倾泻到他们碰到的任何人身上。本题选择you，泛指任何人。故C项正确。 27．B upset难过的；happy快乐的、幸福的；pitiful可怜的；frightened害怕的。 作者说，相信他说的话，你就会“快乐一些”。故选择B项。 28．A不要接受别人倾倒的“垃圾”并转倒给其他人。spread sth. to sb.将某事传给某人；share sth. with sb.与某人分享某物。故选择 A项。

29．D surprise惊讶；pleasure乐趣；doubt疑虑；regret后悔。如果不接受别人的“垃圾”并转倒给其他人，你就不会因轻率冲动而后悔。人生苦短，每天早晨从“后悔”中醒来是难以承受之重。故选择D项。

30．B funny有趣的；important重要的；strange奇怪的；embarrassing令人尴尬的。能否成功的标志在于你能否迅速忘却不快而专注于“重要”的人生目标。故选择B 项。

31．A remember记得；forget忘记；value重视；appreciate欣赏、感激。后句说到人们更容易储存不好的记忆，所以此处说的是人们更经常“记住”的是糟糕的事情。故A项正确。 32．C enjoy享受、喜爱；exchange交换；recall记起、回忆起；imagine想象。人们更容易储存不好的记忆，自然也更容易“回想”起不好的记忆。故选择C项。

33．B inspire激励；take接受、参加；mend修补、修正；notice注意到、看到。生活中你的努力只占一层，九层取决于你的生活态度。此处take意为“接受”。故B项正确。

34．A let让；允许；consist包括、包含；make制造；dream梦想、希望。只有“忘却”不好的，才能为美好的东西在心中留下位置。let go of sth. 放弃；忘却。故A项正确。

35．D今天播下的种子“决定”明天的收获。distinguish区分、分辨；deserve应得、配得；deliver投递、分发。故行D项正确。
