When I entered high school I was a(n) __8__,but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to __9__ the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from __10__ her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I'll give you all the money I make

1.A.belief B.work C.education D.promise

2.A.majored in B.got used to
C.dreamed of D.got tired of
【答案与解析】 C 由倒数第2段“and eventually I __18__ my dream and I became a doctor”可知“我”自小就“梦想”成为一名医生。
3.A.lazy B.easy-going
C.successful D.reliable
【答案与解析】 C 由下文“Success required intellectual preparation”可推知此题选C项。句意为“通过工作,她注意到,成功人士花更多时间在看书上,而不是看电视”。

C.took D.did
【答案与解析】 D 此处为避免重复累赘,用did指代前文的“spent a lot more time”。
5.A.could only B.could not
C.must not D.should often
【答案与解析】 A 句意为“她宣布,我们兄弟俩每周只能看两到三个(由她)预选好的电视节目”。could only“只能”,符合语境和逻辑。
6.A.read to B.present to
C.teach D.explain to
【答案与解析】 B 由后文“mark them up with check marks and highlights”可知“我们”交给母亲的是书面的读书报告,据此可排除其他选项。present sth to sb“把某物交给某人”,此句中宾语后移。
7.A.joke B.means
C.tool D.trick
【答案与解析】 D 由后文“My mother was illiterate”可知母亲目不识丁,“我们”后来才意识到那些标记原是个“骗局”。
8.A.A-student B.B-student
C.C-student D.D-student
【答案与解析】 A 由后文“I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student”及“became an A-student again”可知“我”入学时是个优生。
9.A.get rid of B.hang out with
C.break away from D.keep in touch with
【答案与解析】 B 由but转折可知,后来“我”“堕落”了,喜欢上了高档衣服和跟其他人出去鬼混。hang out“外出闲荡”,符合此处语境。
10.A.making B.stopping C.working D.getting
【答案与解析】 C 题意:一天晚上母亲“做”完了她繁杂的工作回到家里。work“做;工作”,可用作及物动词,符合语境。其他选项与job搭配不当。
11.A.your brother B.yourself
C.your sister D.the family
【答案与解析】 D 由“I'll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms”可推知,母亲把她这个星期擦地板和洗厕所赚的所有的钱都给“我”,当然是要“我”为“全家”买食物和付账了。
12.A.left over B.paid up C.used up D.carried out
【答案与解析】 A 由后文“there was ________ left”可知,母亲想把买食物和付账“剩下的”全部的钱都给“我”。
13.A.angry B.pleased
C.disappointed D.bored
【答案与解析】 B 由后文“but once I got through allocating money”可推知,作者开始听到这个消息,自然“喜出望外”。其他三项均表示消极、失望的情绪,不合语境,可排除。
14.A.anything B.everything C.something D.nothing
【答案与解析】 D 由上文“With everything ________”可知,本来是剩下的全部都归“我”,可是一旦我支配完钱(在买食物和付其他账)后,“什么”也没剩下。前后对比明显,故用nothing。
15.A.put an idea into B.give an impression on
C.keep a roof over D.have eyes in the back of
【答案与解析】 C 此处题意为“‘我’意识到母亲是位能为我们提供栖身之所和桌上之食的理财天才”。keep a roof over one's head“为某人提供栖身之所”。
16.A.let alone B.let out
C.let in D.leave alone
【答案与解析】 A 题意:母亲是位能为“我们”提供食宿的理财能手,“更不用说”买衣服了。let alone“更不用说”,符合句意。leave out“删除”;let in“允许进入;放……进来”;leave alone“不打扰;听其自然”。
17.A.guys B.mother
C.studies D.play
【答案与解析】 C 此事过后,作者经过反思,把心思重新收回到“学业”上来。由后文“became an A-student again, and eventually I my dream”可推知。
18.A.made B.fulfilled C.changed D.tried
【答案与解析】 B 由后文“and I became a doctor”可知作者“实现”了儿时的梦想。fulfill“实现”。
19.A.little B.much C.few D.high
【答案与解析】 A 由第2段最后一句“My mother was illiterate”可知母亲未接受任何正规教育。little“几乎不”,修饰不可数名词。few用于修饰可数名词。
20.A.more interesting B.less important
C.more important D.less interesting
【答案与解析】 C 由上文“who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe”可知“世界上没有比为人父母‘更伟大和重要的’工作了”。
