Leaving Home

When I told my mother, she looked at me as if I had   11  her face.

"What? Live in London?" she said.

"I just feel it’s time I saw a little more of the world. After all, mum, I'm twenty-two!”

Just then, my father came downstairs, looking   12   as he always did after his Sunday afternoon nap. I had chosen the moment carefully.

"Clive wants to leave home. He doesn't want to live with us any more," she told him in a trembling voice. My father’s expression changed. 

"What? You aren’t serious, are you, son?" he asked. He sat down at the table opposite me.

Perhaps my parents wouldn’t have reacted this way if they hadn't spent all their lives in a small village in Wales. And perhaps my mother in particular wouldn't have been so possessive if her only other child hadn’t died as a baby. I tried to explain to them that the bank I worked   13   had offered me a chance to take a job in their head office. But I didn't dare tell them I had already accepted the job.

"London’s a long way away. We’ll hardly see you any more," my father said.

"l can come back at   14  , dad. "

He shook his head, looking more and more like someone who had just been given a few months to   15   by his doctor.

"I don’t know, son. I don't know."

He shook his head again and then got up and walked   16   into the garden.

My mother and I sat there at the table. In the   17  , I could hear the old clock ticking away in the hall. There were tears in my mother’s eyes. I knew she was going to put pressure on me to give up the idea, and I wondered if I could stand up to it. I even began to wonder if it was wrong   18   me to want to leave my family, the village and the people I had known all my life to live among the English in their cold, strange capital.

She put her hand over mine.

"Your father   19   lately. Neither have I. You know that. But we won't stand in your way if it’s   20   you really want," she said.

11. A. washed     B. slapped     C. kissed     D. changed

12. A. relaxed     B. tired        C. anxious     D. pleased

13. A. for         B. /            C. at          D. in

15 .A. live        B. play       C. work      D. spare

16. A. away       B. out        C. quickly    D. slowly

17. A. noise       B. silence     C. darkness   D. meantime

18. A. for         B. of           C. with        D. to

19. A. has been well            B. hasn’t been good

三、阅读 (2007复习检测)

A

My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.

It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.

I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.

  When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.

  The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field--except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.

21. The writer’s first job was _______.

A. to stand down the fairway at a golf course

B. to watch over the sugar-cane plantation

C. to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields

D. to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them

22. The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.

A. difficult      B. boring   C. interesting    D. unusual

23. The writer learned that_______ from his first job.

A. he should work for those who he liked most

B. he should work longer than what he was expected

C. he should never fail to say hello to his owner

D. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for

24. _______ gave the writer serf-esteem.

A. Having a family of eight people

B. Owning his own golf course

C. Bringing money back home to help the family

D. Helping his father with the work on the plantation

25. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. He wanted to be a successful golfer.

B. He wanted to run a golf course near his house.

C. He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.

D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.

【答案解析】  本文主要介绍作者小时候的工作经历：6岁时在一家甘蔗种植园耕地，7岁时在离家不远的一家高尔夫球场找到看球。

21. C。语义理解题。第 1 段第 2 句话My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields 和题干几乎完全相同。

22. B。词义猜测题。从第 2 段第 2 句话中的I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could 可以推知 tedious 的正确词义。

23. D。语义理解题。看到文章第 2 段第 4 句话 I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for，答案不言自明。

24. C。语义理解题。从文章第 3 段最后两句话 Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem (自尊心)… 不难肯定答案为C。

25. A。判断题。从最后一段内容不难看出他想当一名高尔夫球员的迫切之心。

B

It seems that fate likes to play strange jokes on those who are famous. The manner in which fate saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record. Downhearted, ill, and depressed, Clive, then a young clerk, placed a revolver ( 左轮枪手) to his head and snapped the trigger time after time. It refused to fire and he realized that suicide was not to be his lot. A subordinate (下属) took the same pistol from Clive' s hand and fired it six times in succession(连续).

A somewhat different but disturbing fate laid in store for Robert Todd Lincoln, the eldest son of the Civil War President. Young Lincoln had received orders to report to Washington. In White House he was told that his parents had gone to Ford’ s Theatre and they had requested that he join them there. Robert Todd Lincoln went to the theatre and, just as he entered the building, he was stretched back by a crowd of excited people, among whom were the stretcher bearers carrying the dying President.

During the administration of President Garfield, Robert Todd Lincoln became Secretary of War. He was a close personal friend of President Garfield and, when the President prepared to leave for a visit to the seashore at Elberton, New Jersey, Secretary Lincoln accepted an invitation to go along. As Secretary Lincoln reached the railway station, he encountered the stretcher bearers carrying out the fatally wounded President Garfield, victim of an assassin’ s( 刺客的) bullet.

Twenty years later, as Robert Todd Lincoln entered the Temple of Music in Buffalo to greet President McKinley; the President was carried past him by stretcher bearers. Garfield, Lincoln, and McKinley were the presidents to be assassinated (暗杀), and Robert Todd Lincoln was the only man who was on the scene immediately after all the shootings.

26. From the first paragraph, we can infer that Clive　　　　　.

A. tried to kill himself but was saved by a subordinate

B. remained a clerk all his life

C. became famous later in life

D. was a man who liked to play jokes

27. Which of the following is true about the subordinate?

A. He fired the gun.

B. He tried to kill himself but failed.

C. He didn't know how to use a revolver.

D. He was not pleased with his position.

28. What kind of fate was lying there for Robert Todd Lincoln?

A. He escaped narrow death three times.

B. He was lucky enough to hold important positions in the government of three presidents.

C. He was the only man who saw the deaths of three presidents.

D. He was the only man who arrived immediately after the three presidents were shot.

29. Who was the most lucky of the people mentioned in the passage?

A. The subordinate.               B. Clive.

C. Robert Todd Lincoln.           D. McKinley.

30. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Fatal Witness       

B. Different Fates for Different People

C. The Shootings of Three Presidents        

D. The Sad Life of Robert Todd Lincoln

【答案解析】  本文通过Clive和Robert Todd Lincoln的事例说明，命运常常对著名的人物开一些奇怪的玩笑。

26. C 推断题。根据第一段的第一句和第二句话可以知道，命运常常对一些著名的人开玩笑，而且Clive的更是其中的经典。所以由此推出Clive became famous later in life。

27. A 细节题。由第一段的A subordinate (下属) took the same pistol from Clive' s hand and fired it six times in succession(连续)可知。

28. D 细节题。由最后一段，即20年后Robert Todd Lincoln was the only man who was on the scene immediately after all the shootings可知等待Robert Todd Lincoln是什么命运。

29. B 推断题。结合全文，可以看出Clive多次从枪口中获生，且由开篇的The manner in which fate saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record可知，命运与他开的玩笑是历史上的经典。

30. A 主旨题。本文主要介绍了命运对某些著名人物开的玩笑，由此那些著名人物就成了命运的见证人。所以选择The Fatal Witness较为合适。
