【小题1】C考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处live生活,居住;study学习; work工作; play玩耍。Joe Biggs是一名屠夫,他和父亲在肉店一起工作(work)了想当年。根据上下文语境选C。
【小题2】B考查副词词义辨析。此处more更多;harder 更加努力;later后来;again再一次。父亲65岁后就不在肉店工作了,就只剩下Joe一个人,所以他必须更加努力(harder)地工作。故选B。
【小题3】A考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处shut 关门; starte开始;open开门;serve服务。根据文意可知,他一周工作5天半,周日关门,周六最忙,所以只能是周四1点钟开始关门,半天不营业。故选A。
【小题4】D考查形容词词义辨析。此处hardest最难;easiest 最简单;quietest最安静;busiest最繁忙。根据文意可知,周日不营业,所以周六最繁忙(busiest)。故选D。
【小题5】B考查名词词义辨析。此处customers客户; meat肉;buyers 买者; friends朋友。Joe肉店里的肉(meat)是从最近的城镇买来的。故选A。
【小题6】C考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。此处walk步行;flew 乘飞机;drove开车;. ran跑。根据文意,他步行、跑着和乘飞机买肉,都不符合逻辑,所以开车去买肉。故选C。
【小题7】D考查形容词词义辨析。此处easier较简单的;fresher较新鲜的;nearer较近的; cheaper较便宜的。根据文意,他早上很早就开车进城买肉,就是为了买便宜的。本题易误选B,合格的肉都应该是新鲜的,所以B错误。
【小题8】A考查名词词义辨析。此处refrigerator冰箱;room 房间; kitchen厨房;cupboard橱柜。根据文意可知,他的肉店应该有一个大的冰箱,以防肉变坏。故选A。
【小题9】A考查副词词义辨析。此处much 多; expensive 贵;fresh新鲜;adequate充裕的。根据文意可知,他有一个大的冰箱,所以他一次不买太多(too much)的肉,卖完之后再买新肉。故选A。
【小题10】C考查动词词义辨析。此处eat 吃;cook 烹调;sell卖;freeze冷冻。根据文意可知,他有一个大的冰箱,所以他一次不买太多的肉,卖(sell)完之后再买新肉。故选C。
【小题11】A考查语境理解。根据文意可知,周四一点关门,正好一位妇女在一点差五分的时候来买肉,可以推知是在星期四。因为星期四一点关门。故选A。
【小题12】B考查名词词义辨析。此处party聚会;dinner餐;lunch午餐; dance跳舞。有几个朋友打电话说,他们今晚要来吃饭,我需要更多的肉。Come to dinner意为:来吃饭。
【小题13】C考查名词词义辨析。此处food 食物;vegetable 蔬菜;meat 肉;fruit水果。根据文意可知,有几个朋友打电话说,他们今晚要来吃饭,我需要更多的肉。肉店里自然卖的是肉,故选C。

【小题17】C考查介词的用法及语境理解。此处outside外面;from 从……,由……; into进入; through通过。他从肉店后面的房间走进来,打开冰箱。
【小题18】B考查副词词义辨析。此处still 仍然;again再一次;even即使;back回来。他再一次(again)把那块肉拿出来。故选B。

Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical (伦理的,道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
【小题1】What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?
A.The boy cooked the big fish. |
B.The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly. |
C.The father lit a match in order to check the time. |
D.They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done. |
A.didn’t love his son | B.always disagreed with his son |
C.disliked the huge fish | D.was firm and stubborn |
A.they might catch a big fish there |
B.he was taught a moral lesson there |
C.it was a most popular fishing spot |
D.their children enjoyed fishing there |
A.It is easy to say something, but difficult to do |
B.An ethical decision is always easy to make. |
C.It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes |
D.Fishing can help one to make right decisions. |
