解析试题分析:文章讲述了作者和爸爸经常在回家的路上买冰淇淋吃的故事。有一次,爸爸想让作者请客,但作者舍不得花20美分买冰淇淋,就拒绝了请客。对此,爸爸没有在意,作者却十分后悔。后来,又有一次旅行,作者下定决心要请爸爸吃冰淇淋。
【小题1】根据文章上句中的often 和第二段开头一句中的again可知,我们常停下来买冰淇淋。Frequently经常,故选C。
【小题2】根据文章文意可知,我作为孩子,渴望得到冰淇淋。Aexpect意为“(心理上的)期待、渴望”。Cwait为不及物动词,意思、语法上均不正确,其它选项意思不符。故选A。
【小题3】根据上下文可知,从我们开始往家赶的“那一刻”,我就开始祈祷,希望能得到,故选D。
【小题4】根据上文“go straight for the ice cream or…”和下文“go home empty-handed”可知,我们或者直接去买冰淇淋,或者空手而回。Cturn意为“转弯、掉头”,符合文意。故选C。
【小题5】根据文章上下文和常识可知,在这里,我可以得到美味的冰淇淋,所以,这个拐角意味着(meant) 快乐或失望。故选B。
【小题6】。根据 “mouth-watering excitement”和文意,得到冰淇淋我会快乐,否则就是失望。Disappointment失望,故选D。
【小题7】根据文意,我希望听到父亲主动提出买冰淇淋,对一个孩子来说,这样的声音是“beautiful”(美好的),故选D最佳,其它选项意思不符。
【小题8】根据文章上文,我期盼的声音终于来了(came),B项最佳。C项spoke的主语应该是人,而其它两项不符合文意。故选A。
【小题9】根据文章结尾处“treat”,父亲这次让我“出钱请客”。注意Cbuy不正确,因为,我可以买冰淇淋,但不一定我出钱。其它两项意思不符。故选B。
【小题10】根据文意和“plus”可知,我每个星期除了得到25美分,而且干零活得到“额外”的钱,故选A。
【小题11】根据文意,我虽然有足够的钱,但当(when)让我拿来买冰淇淋时,我就舍不得。故选C。
【小题12】根据下文可以推知,我出于自私(selfishness)而放弃了请客吃冰淇淋的念头,故选D。
【小题13】根据文意,我既然不愿请客吃冰淇淋,就只好放弃了。注意pass在此意思是“免掉,不要”。故选C。
【小题14】上文提到I realized how wrong I was,所以我后悔自己的自私,从而央求父亲掉转车头(turn back),故选A。
【小题15】根据上文父亲的回答可知,他实际上委婉的拒绝了我的恳求,所以我感到awful(懊恼的、糟糕的),故选B。
【小题16】根据文意,父亲对我的行为并不介意,甚至(even)没表现出失望。故选A。
【小题17】根据文意,我从此事认识到慷慨是双向的。B learned意思是“认识到、意识到,从......得到教训”,为最佳选项。故选B。
【小题18】根据文意可推知,我在想:如果我当时请客吃了冰淇淋,将是对父亲多年来的回报,也将是我所吃到的最好的冰淇淋。其它选项不符合文意。故选D。
【小题19】考查固定短语。go on a trip为固定词组,“去旅行”。故选C。
【小题20】根据上文可知,我已经做错了一次。当再次出游时,到拐角处时,我就主动提出请客,approach符合文意。故选D。

Your words became my motto. I     found myself in the position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)       one of the few women (top medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your     , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and      meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m     it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

Two weeks before Christmas a nine-year-old girl was walking with her friend down the street, sliding on the ice. They were talking about what they hoped to    at Christmas.
They stopped to talk to an old man named Harry, who was       his knees pulling weeds from around a large tree. His fingers were       with cold.
As Harry responded to the girls, he told them he was getting the yard      as a Christmas present to his mother, who had died several years before. His eyes filled with tears as he       the tree and said, “ My mother was all I had. She loved her     and her trees, so I do this for her at Christmas.” His words     the girls and soon they were on their knees helping him to       around the trees. It took the three of them the rest of the day to complete the      . When they finished, Harry pressed a quarter into each of their hands. “I wish I could      you more, but it’s all I’ve got right now,” he said.
As they walked they remembered that the house was      , with no flowers, no Christmas tree or other decorations. Just the      figure of Harry sitting by his curtainless window. The next day they agreed to put their       in a jar marked “Harry’s Christmas Present” and then they began to seek for small jobs to       more. Every nickel, dime, and quarter they earned went into the      .
Two days before Christmas, they had enough money to buy new       and a Christmas card. On Christmas Eve they came to Harry’s       singing carols. When he opened the door, they       him with the gloves wrapped in pretty paper, the card and a pumpkin pie still      from the oven. With trembling hands, he     the paper from the gloves, and then to their astonishment, he held them up to his face and wept.

When I was about 6 years old I lived in Kenya. There was a lot of      and there were always street children on the roads asking for money. There was such a big divide between those children and me and I grew up very aware of being so     .
We had a wonderful and very kind driver, John, who had been working with my     for decades. He used to take us to and from school. One day while we were stopped in traffic a young street child, probably no more than 10 years old,     with a friendly greeting, “Hi, John!”
He      the car and shook John’s hand,. John then gave him a little bit of money and waved him off with a smile before we carried on our way to school.
I had watched the whole incident completely     . John had a large family himself and had to work very hard to make ends    .I knew that he didn’t have any spare money. So, of course, at that age I couldn’t understand why he would be giving money to the child.
“Who was that?” I asked. “My friend,” he replied. “I see him every morning on my way to work and I give him a little bit of money.”       Unable to comprehend, I asked, “Why do you have to give him money every morning?” John replied, “So he can use it to buy some food.”
It was probably at that    that I understood what kindness really was. A person who was in a difficult situation himself still found some money to     for a child who needed it. Even at the age of 6 that had such a great impact on me. I didn’t have any money, but I wanted to     too. So when my grandfather gave us a chocolate bar after dinner every Friday, I would          mine up so I could give it to John to give to his friend.

Eric had said, "Go ahead. I'll clean up here,"      at the piles of coins on the floor.
When Rachel had returned, it never occurred to him to   his coins until two days later that he realized some quarters were     .
Sarah said, “Why don't you just ask him?”
“Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you     my coin collection?” Rachel thought for a moment,    if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of    .“How could I have misjudged my friend's    ?"

Anger blossomed (产生)as  Rachel watched Eric pretend to be kind,     Eric had obviously stolen from him. Rachel finally could not stand it anymore and stood up. Suddenly, Eric   ,“I can't stand it anymore!” Rachel was astonished at hearing his own      burst forth from his friend! Only, instead of sounding     , Eric sounded excited. He pulled something from underneath the chair.
"Go to open it! I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can't wait1” Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the     . Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own    in a new collection case.  Each quarter shone like it was new.
Rachel felt     rush over his neck and ears. He   said, “Thank you this means...a great deal to me.” He was grateful that Eric had cut him     before he said something he would     . Eric was exactly the type of person he wanted as a friend !
