__22__ off the rain like a wet dog，I entered Mr.Rader's office.After a quick glance he __23__ me over to the fireplace.Noticing the __24__ in the top of my __25__，he said，“Come with me！” pulling me into his truck.We __26__ before a shoe store.Inside，a salesman __27__ me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had __28__ seen.I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up __29__ them.“We'd like a pair of new socks too，” Mr.Rader said.

Back in his office，Mr.Rader took out a __30__，wrote something on it，and handed it to me.With tearful eyes，I read，“__31__ to others as you would have them do to you.”He said affectionately，“Jimmy，I want you to __32__ I love you.”

I said goodbye，and for the first time I __33__ a flicker of hope that somehow things would be all right.With people like Mr.Rader in the world，there was hope，__34__ and love，and that would always make a __35__．

作者偶然翻開卡片，思緒回到從前，恩情永生難忘，世界如此溫暖。一張卡片，一位好人，一段美好的人生回憶。

16．C　作者看到這張卡片后，把它“翻過來”去看卡片背面的內(nèi)容。turn over表示“翻轉(zhuǎn)”。

17．C　在卡片的背面，有草草的手寫的“信息”，字都褪色了。message一般指口頭傳遞的或書寫的信息，是可數(shù)名詞。D項通常指消息、情報、資料等，是不可數(shù)名詞，故排除。

18．D　看到卡片上的內(nèi)容，作者的思緒立刻“回”到了多年以前。

19．A　根據(jù)第二段最后一句中的“magazines”可知作者當時背著一包“雜志”。

20．B　作者當天轉(zhuǎn)了幾圈后，最終來到了那家公司。

21．D　Mr.Rader總是把作者帶到那里，“詢問”他的員工是否想購買作者的雜志。

22．D　作者像一只落湯雞一樣“抖落”身上的雨水，走進了他的辦公室。shake off“抖掉，甩掉”，符合語境。

23．B　他匆匆地看了一眼，發(fā)覺作者的窘?jīng)r后，把作者“領(lǐng)”到壁爐旁。

24．A　本段的后半部分提到他為作者購買了一雙新鞋，由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞”。

25．B　參見上題解析。

26．A　他們將車“�！痹谝患倚昵�。pull up“停車，停止”，符合題意。后三項分別表示“理解，吸收”、“開走”、“走近”，都不符合語境。

27．B　售貨員給作者挑選了一雙非常合適的鞋，此處fit用作動詞，意為“使適合”。

28．C　這是作者“曾經(jīng)”見到過的最好的一雙牛津鞋。

29．D　作者穿上這雙鞋站起來后，感覺自己大約有十英尺那么高，in them表示的是in the shoes。

30．C　文章第一段提到作者看到那張“卡片”后，思緒回到了從前，此處與之相呼應(yīng)。

31．A　根據(jù)本句后半部分中的“do to you”可知此空應(yīng)用Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲，勿施于人”。

32．B　他親切地說：“吉米，我想讓你知道我愛你。”

33．A　作者第一次“感覺到”希望的閃現(xiàn)，不管怎樣，事情總會好起來的。

34．C　根據(jù)上文敘述的Mr.Rader幫助作者推銷雜志以及給作者買鞋等可知他是一個非常善良的人。

35．D　世界上有了像Mr.Rader這樣的人，就有了希望、善良和關(guān)愛，世界也會因此而不同。make a difference表示“有影響，起作用”。前三項分別表示“交易”、“財富”、“選擇”，顯然有悖文意。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Motherhood is a career to respect

　　A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

　　“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”

　　“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”

　　“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.

　　One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.

　　The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究員) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”

　　The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

　　I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (聲明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

　　“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”

　　Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

　　There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

　　As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激勵) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.

　　Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

　　I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”

　　Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?

　　A. Cold-hearted.　　　　B. Open-minded.

　　C. Puzzled. 　　　　　　D. Interested.

How many children does the writer have?

　　A. 3　　　 B. 4 　　　C. 7　　　 D. 13

Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?

　　A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.

　　B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.

　　C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.

　　D. Because she admired the writer's research work.

What is the point of the article?

　　A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.

　　B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.

　　C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.

　　D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
