When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管员), thinking that she would it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her to get something important. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

解析试题分析:本文讲述了我在孤儿院的时候做了一个小桌子想送给老师,但是因为油漆还没有干,被孤儿院的院长扔掉了,但是另外一个宿管阿姨Henderson妈妈却把这个小桌子保管了30年。
【小题1】C由本段情感态度可知,本空为正态度,可以排除AB,D选项aware知道、意识到,为中性词基本也可以排除,且整个下文一系列的absolutely beautiful、couldn't wait、happy等正态度词可以轻松判断出作者的心情为proud骄傲自豪最为合理。
【小题2】B award奖项,如奥斯卡奖、年度优秀学生等;wonder奇迹,指令人惊讶、出乎意料、不可思议的事物;record记录,如世界纪录等;product产品产物。通过上下文翻译可知,作者对自己做的小桌子非常满意、自豪,感觉自己完成了一件不可思议的事情,所以B选项wonder词义与正态度均最为合理。
【小题3】D invent发明,指从无到有的事物,桌子不属于发明;design设计、paint刷漆、complete完成都可以花六周的时间,根据下文作者准备当做礼物送人以及拿回宿舍等细节信息可以判断出,小桌子已经完工,所以选complete最为合理。
【小题4】A reward回报、prize奖品,多为上级对下级、组织对个体、或者平级之间的给予,不符合本文孤儿院的孤儿与院长之间;souvenir纪念品,多为纪念节日、景点、大事等,且多为买卖的商品,与本文的小桌子不属于买卖商品,而对于个人行为的纪念,用remember或remembrance即可;gift礼物,作为人与人之间情感的表达最为合理。
【小题5】Bsatisfied满意、patient耐心、angry生气,只看本句话,都可以入选,但是在整个文章上下找不到任何证据支持,而从文章46空后的order可以判断出,孤儿院的院长对我们一向要求严格,所以strict有证据,且最为合理。
【小题6】D通过空格后面的and并列关系词、以及and后的happy可判断出本题应该入选正态度词,即可排除A选项upset不开心;而amazed惊叹惊讶,多指看到了神奇令人惊讶的事物,本文小桌子是自己做的且故事情节发展至此,不应该自己惊叹惊讶,倘若这是进来一位新人,乍一看到小桌子惊讶惊叹且赞美不已用amazed或amazing还可以;confident自信,没有说明作者对什么自信,是别人的油漆没干只有自己的干了吗?上下文均已明确说出油漆没干;所以本题选择excited兴奋激动最为合适,因为后面的happy、couldn't wait、dashed out冲出去、咧着嘴大笑都是作者太兴奋太激动的行为变现,所以选excited最为合理。
42【小题7】D 根据42空前面的dashed out突然迅速冲了出去可以判断出本题突出的是突然且快速的感觉,thief贼是偷偷摸摸的感觉,可以轻松排除;hero英雄是形象高大英勇威猛勇敢的感觉,也没有体现出快和突然,也可以排除;sword剑,体现的是形状的感觉,如剑鱼、剑龙等,都是形状相似,但是本题许多同学误选sword,原因有三:1把剑与箭混为一谈;2即便是箭,也得是离弦的箭才体现出快的感觉;3即便是出鞘的剑,体现的也是蓄势待发,而不是快的感觉;flash闪电,体现出突然、快的感觉,最完全、最直接,故最为合理。
【小题8】C 根据本文句意可知,作者把小桌子放到了床边,没有藏起来,所以hiding不对;drying的意思为使…变干,根据故事情节发展的合理性,作者此刻应该沉浸在兴奋高兴欣赏自己作品的自恋自high过程中,所以drying从故事发展角度就不合理,但是如果非要较真儿解释,可以试想,当时作者正在通过某种方式让桌子变干,如拿扇子扇、电扇吹、加热烤等(因为晒衣服英文表述为dry clothes in the sun,自然晾干是leave sth. Dry naturally),Winters妈妈完全可以通过我的行为判断桌子未干或者发问,下文就不应该出现Winters妈妈走过去用手摸才发现桌子未干,所以drying也不合理;observing观察,多用于正式、仔细、认真观察以发现寻找为目的,文中作者没有要发现寻找什么,故不对;而admire除欣赏、钦佩外,还可以表示开心愉悦的看着,完全符合故事情节的发展与作者的心情发展,故最为合理。
【小题9】B into进到里面、across表面横跨、above上方不接触、after在…之后,根据上下文可知,Winters妈妈用手抹了桌子才发现油漆未干,必须接触且接触表面更为合理,所以选择across表示用手在表面上“唰”的大跨度的摸了一下,最为合理。注意体会across表达表面上从一端到另一端的用法,例:She walked across the floor and laid down on the bed.
【小题10】A be supposed to do应该、embarrassed尴尬、encouraged鼓励、determined决定,通过句意可以轻松选出A选项,但如果考生对于suppose意思认知不准确,此题依然有难度,如果再没看懂文章意思,有可能会乱选determined无逻辑选项。
【小题11】C agree同意、signed叹气、whispered小声说、argued争论,根据下文低着头可轻松作答。
【小题12】A dirt灰土、沙子、泥土等脏东西,glue胶水,paint油漆、wood木头,根据上文扔到门外和小桌子油漆未干透可以轻松判断出应该是粘了许多尘土脏东西最为合理。
【小题13】B removed拿掉去除、touched触碰、shook摇、split分裂,根据句意作者把“受伤”的小桌子藏到厨子里再也没有动过,这里中文的“动”指的是接触触碰,所以选touched合理。误选为removed的考生多属于对remove意思理解不准确,remove的没有再次移动的意思,准确的意思是拿掉去除,如remove it!意为把它拿走,指的是扔掉不要放在这里,再如remove the stain去除污渍,所以remove多指去除拿掉不好的东西,该词为重点考点;而shook摇、split分裂意思均不合理。
【小题14】Dput away收拾起来,give away给他人、泄密,take away 拿走,throw away 扔掉,作者把“受伤”的小桌子给了宿管员Henderson妈妈,以为她会怎么着,但没想到Henderson妈妈却把小桌子保存了30年,通过文章最后的kept反推,throw away扔掉意思最为合理。
【小题15】Alearned得知、expected期待盼望、remembered记得、recommended推荐,根据句意A选项learned得知意思最为合适,此题属于简单题目,但许多考生不知道learn的这层意思,却排除选learn。
【小题16】Cbathroom浴室、balcony阳台、basement地下室、bedroom卧室,根据51空前面come down to可以判断为地下室,此题简单,但是因为证据比较隐蔽,较难发现,故不少考生做错。
【小题17】Acuriously好奇地、unwillingly不情愿地、doubtfully怀疑地、worriedly担心地,根据上下文,我刚准备要走,Henderson妈妈说有重要的东西给我看,然后带着我往地下储藏室走,根据常理以及感情色彩判断,好奇地最为合理,其他三个选项词汇意思、态度和感情色彩均不合理。
【小题18】C根据句意,当她转过身来的时候我看到了她拿着的是一张小桌子,动作逻辑最为合理。since自从…到现在,配套时态应该为现在完成时,故不对;until直到,很少用于句首,位于句首的多为not until,且如果选until,整句话调整为正常语序后应为I could see that she was holding a little table until she turned around,意思是我能够看到她拿的是张小桌子,“能够看到”这个动作一直持续到她转身,翻译不通逻辑也不合理,请注意,这是until极其重要的考点,如果有的考试翻译为“直到她转身的时候,我才看到…”,请切记:not…until翻译成“直到…才”,没有not不可能翻译出“才”,切记!但是,对于部分基础很好的考生,可能会误选before,错误翻译成“她还没转过身来,我就看到她拿的是张小桌子”,的确,“才、就”是before在高考中的一个重点、经典、超高频考点,但是,请记住:前后时态应该为过去时和过去完成时搭配,所以如果写作Before she turned around, I had seen that…才可以。本题不难,但是对于基础较好的考生可能会因多想而做错。
【小题19】Badmiration钦佩羡慕、gratitude感激感恩、sympathy同情、regret遗憾,根据正负态度可以排除CD选项,因为本文中Henderson妈妈做了让自己万分感动的事情,所以选择感激感恩最为合理。
【小题20】Dadapt适应、study学习研究、perform表演做履行义务等、please让某人高兴,本题位于文章最后一段,用于点明全文中心思想,升华总结出作者的感悟,所以紧扣全文主旨,本文主要讲解了一个小孤儿用心做了一个自己很自豪自己很喜欢的小桌子,作为礼物送给院长,小孩子的行为仅仅是为了让与自己关系最近的大人开心高兴一下,但是却发生了后来的事情,所以please直接点明全文的主题,故为正确答案。

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg a few coins, do you hurry on, not what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly some money? What should our attitude beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems not to give some money to beggars.
, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their .
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up to look pitiable and actually make a good from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil.
, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.
Thirdly, there is the opinion there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of and self-dependence.
There is an opinion that the problem should be handled by the government ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various and we must them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the .

Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was that they could, at any time, break free, strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you once before? Do you often tell “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?
These are of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which you. The cool thing is that because you create the you can choose to change it! Here is how:
First, it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your , your subconsciousness will make this by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are .
This is such a simple process that you can it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
