I was ashamed _________ lied to my mother.

A.to be             B.of having          C.that              D.of being

 

【答案】

B

【解析】

试题分析:考察动名词用法。固定搭配be ashamed of…对…感到羞愧;介词Of后面接动名词,本句使用动名词的复合结构不是已经完成的动作。句意:对于向我的妈妈说谎我感觉很羞愧。说明我向妈妈说谎是一件已经发生的事情,故使用动名词的完成式。故B正确。

考点:考察动名词用法

点评:动名词doing经常放在介词的后面做宾语,而动名词的复合结构having done表示已经完成的动作。

Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.

So every time she would say something   42    I disagreed with her I would just say, “Okay,  43    you want, Mom”

But I really got cold quickly. And my   44    began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s   45   ”and then went back to mop the floor.

“Don’t you ever   46   ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was   47    upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I   48    her how important it was to me.

At last, I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to   49   . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s   50    than fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a   51    to her.

After my blowup, we felt like we were   52    all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always   53    my feeling with her.

If you adopt Lose Win as your basic   54    toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be   55    your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

               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 (研究员) 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 (声明) 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 (激励) 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.

  I am a sales representative   and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I 36  my car,bundled my scarf around me and  37 up the street towards his shop front.

     The Street where his store was 38 was partially blocked by two  large,ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the 39 cat calls(起哄).I was up early,out in the cold,and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even 40  .

     Then  I stopped  and 4l  my  own father. Both he and  my grandfather  had  42 much  of their early  careers working outside  in   similar  jobs before  they  43   and  became  engineers.   I recalled how hard Dad worked,in all kinds of   44  -;how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(冻伤). I realized that if was cold then these  two  guys were  probably   45 ,given that it looked as though they'd already been      46  for hours.

     My customer's  shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his 47 .I Went to  a coffee sh、op  around the  comer,   48       myself a hot chocolate,then two  more  with whipped cream .I made my  49       down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with  a wide smile and  50 me  with  a joking  "Oh  lovey,you  shouldn't have!"  To his   51  ,I passed him the  tray with  the  two   52  chocolates.I  replied,"Maybe  not.  53 it's  too  cold  to  be  working  outside today。"    

    I got two  looks  of genuine  (真诚的) 54  ,and  a  timely  reminder  that it's as easy to be  55  as it is to pre-judge—but the former is so much nicer!
