完形填空

  I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Okla.  1   the time I was eight, I was helping Dad fix up old furniture.He gave me a cent for every nail I   2   out of old boards.

  I got my first   3   job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12.My main responsibilities(職責(zé))were   4   tables and washing dishes,   5   sometimes I helped cook.

  Every day after school I would   6   to JM’s and work until ten.Even on Saturdays I   7   from two until eleven.At that age it was difficult going to work and   8   my friends run off to swim or play.I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working   9   me to have.Because of my   10   I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez.This made me   11  

  Words that I was trust-worthy and hard-working   12   around town.A local clothing store offered me credit(賒賬)  13   I was only in seventh grade.I immediately   14   a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes.I was   15   only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $90!So I learned   16   the danger of easy credit.I paid it   17   as soon as I could.

  My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a   18   of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced.As my father,   19   worked three jobs once told me, “If you   20   sacrifice(奉獻(xiàn))and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.” How right he was.

答案:1.D;2.A;3.B;4.C;5.C;6.A;7.B;8.C;9.D;10.D;11.A;12.B;13.A;14.C;15.B;16.D;17.D;18.B;19.C;20.A;
解析:

(1)

by表示“不遲于”。不到8歲時(shí),我就幫助爸爸修理舊家具。before“在……之前”,與前一句話不相符;within“在……之間”,指到8歲那一年內(nèi);from常與to連用,表示“從……到……”。

(2)

根據(jù)賓語old boards可判斷出,是從舊木板上拔出釘子。每從舊木板上拔出一個(gè)釘子,父親給我一分錢。

(3)

real表示“真正的”。作者12歲前在家中幫助父親工作,他認(rèn)為那不是“真正的”工作。在12歲時(shí),他在JM’s Restaurant開始的工作,才算是“真正的”工作。

(4)

clear tables表示“擦桌子”。根據(jù)下文的“wash dishes”可確定答案,在飯店里,招待員的工作是擦桌子和洗盤子。sweep表示“擦(地板)”;pack表示“包裝”;empty表示“使成為空的”。

(5)

clear tables and wash dishes與help cook是兩種不同的工作,它們之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

(6)

head表示“(向特定的方向)出發(fā)”。每天“我”放學(xué)后趕往JM’s,一直工作到10點(diǎn)鐘。return表示“回到”,只有當(dāng)作者住在飯店里時(shí),才會(huì)從學(xué);氐斤埖辍hange表示“改變”;move表示“移動(dòng)”。

(7)

根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容不難判斷出即使在星期六,作者也要從兩點(diǎn)工作到11點(diǎn)。

(8)

watch表示“注視”。12歲正是貪玩的年齡,可是,作者不得不去工作。watch一詞描寫出作者看到自己的朋友出外旅游或游玩時(shí)的羨慕之情。

(9)

allow表示“允許”。“我”并不是真的喜歡工作,而是喜歡因工作而獲得的東西。

(10)

根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可以判斷出,由于作者的勞動(dòng)賺了錢才可能使他總是和朋友一起去當(dāng)?shù)豑astee Freeze時(shí)成為惟一買東西的人。

(11)

proud表示“驕傲的”。在伙伴面前買各種東西自然會(huì)感到驕傲。

(12)

get around表示“到達(dá)”!拔摇闭\實(shí)勤勞的話語傳遍了整個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)。run around表示“圍……跑”;fly around表示“圍……飛”;carry作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)意思是“攜帶”。

(13)

although表示“雖然”,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。雖然我還是一個(gè)七年級(jí)的學(xué)生,當(dāng)?shù)匾患也嫉陞s允許我賒賬。

(14)

charge表示“把……記入賬簿”。從上文可以看出當(dāng)?shù)匾患也嫉暝试S作者賒賬,他馬上賒了一件價(jià)值68美元的運(yùn)動(dòng)衫和一雙價(jià)值22美元的鞋子。borrow指“借錢”。

(15)

make后接表示“錢”意為“賺錢”。make only 65 cents an hour表示“每小時(shí)只賺65美分”。

(16)

early在此表示“年齡小”。作者年齡很小時(shí)就被允許賒賬,而且已經(jīng)賒了90美元的賬,而他每小時(shí)的工資只有65美分,所以他在年齡很小時(shí)就懂得了賒賬的危險(xiǎn)性。

(17)

pay off表示“還清(債務(wù))”。“我”盡快還清了這筆錢。

(18)

level表示“水平”!拔摇钡墓ぷ鹘探o“我”自我控制、有責(zé)任心,使“我”感到了朋友們沒有感到過的那種滿足。

(19)

這是一個(gè)非限制性定語從句。關(guān)系代詞who代替my father,在定語從句中作主語。

(20)

understand表示“懂得”。如果你懂得奉獻(xiàn)和負(fù)責(zé)任,在你的一生中就沒有多少你不能得到的東西。demand表示“需要”;offer表示“提供”;fear表示“害怕”。

  The UN Security Council has yet to   13   its position clear.But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan   14   say that“the UN does not support a death penalty.”

  Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see   15   the US and Britain can find the   16   weapons they gave as the   17   for the war in Iraq.Asked if Saddam's capture(捕獲)could   18   a breakthrough(突破)in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “  19   obviously that possibility there.But I think we should   20   what we're doing in Iraq.”
