3 enough, when Nicholas met kids at the shelter, he 4 realized that they were living in circumstances that were different from his own.
\"I saw other kids who looked just like me. The only 5 was that they were wearing 6 shoes that were falling apart. Some didn't have a pair of shoes to call their own,\" said Nicholas, now 15. \"I've been 7 to grow up in a family that is able to provide me with whatever I need. A lot of kids here in the U.

That first shelter 9 left a strong impression on Nicholas, who started 10 all the shoes he'd outgrown to local shelters. But he soon 11 that his donations weren't that helpful.
\"It 12 me that I only had used shoes to give to them 13 new shoes that fit right,\" he said. \"No two people's feet are exactly the same, and 14 you are wearing someone else's worn shoes, your feet aren't going to be comfortable.\"

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,Nicholas在5岁时随妈妈拜访了无家可归者的收容所,住在里面的孩子穿着破旧的鞋给他留下了深刻的印象。长大之后,他发起了一个为无家可归者捐鞋的活动来帮助他们。他还鼓励其他年轻人也去做相同的事情。
(1)考查形容词。A. disappointed“感到失望的”;B. puzzled“感到困惑的”;C. excited“兴奋的”;D. surprised“感到吃惊的”。根据下文“to show off his new lightup sneakers”可推知,Nicholas为可以炫耀他的能发光的新运动鞋而感到兴奋。故选C。
(2)考查动词。A. explaining“解释”;B. expecting“期盼,预测”;C. deciding“决定”;D. judging“判断”。根据上文“But his mom warned him against doing so”可知,Nicholas的妈妈警告他不要这么做,并向他解释了原因,因为收容所里的孩子可能没有这样的东西。故选A。
(3)考查副词。A. Terribly“可怕地,糟糕地”;B. Sure“确信,当然”;C. Strangely“奇怪地”;D. Fair“公正地”。根据下文“... living in circumstances that were different from his own”可知,果然如妈妈所说,Nicholas发现收容所里的孩子们过着跟他不一样的生活。sure enough固定短语,“果然,果真”,故选B。
(4)考查副词。A. actually“事实上”;B. possibly“可能地”;C. quickly“迅速地”;D. simply“简单地”。根据第一段最后一句和空格后的内容可知,Nicholas来到收容所后,很快就意识到收容所里的孩子们的生活环境和他自己的有所不同。故选C。
(5)考查名词。A. result“结果”;B. problem“问题”;C. reason“理由”;D. difference“区分”。根据上文“I saw other kids who looked just like me. The only ...”可知,住在收容所里的孩子看起来和Nicholas差不多大,唯一的不同是他们穿着破损不堪的旧鞋子。故选D。 (6)考查形容词。A. old“旧的”;B. big“大的”;C. special“特殊的”;D. heavy“重的”。根据下文“shoes that were falling apart”可推知,住在收容所里的孩子们穿的是破损不堪的旧鞋子。故选A。
(7)考查形容词。A. brave“勇敢的”;B. fortunate“幸运的”;C. healthy“健康的”;D. selfish“自私的”。根据下文可知,Nicholas感到很幸运,因为他成长在一个能给他提供任何他需要的东西的家庭。故选B。

(10)考查动词。A. donating“捐献”;B. posting“张贴”;C. selling“卖”;D. delivering“递送”。根据上文可知,收容所里的孩子们穿着破旧的鞋子给Nicholas留下了很深的印象,于是他开始将自己穿小了的鞋捐给当地的收容所。下句中的“donations”也是提示。故选A。 (11)考查动词。A. remembered“记得”;B. admitted“承认”;C. doubted“怀疑”;D. realized“意识到”。根据下文“No two people's feet ... to be comfortable.”可知,Nicholas很快意识到他的捐赠对那些无家可归的孩子们不是那么有帮助。故选D。
(12)考查形容词。A. delighted“感到高兴的”;B. bothered“感到困扰的”;C. amazed“惊讶的”;D. astonished“吃惊的”。根据下文可知,因为每个人的脚并不完全相同,所以旧鞋穿到别人脚上可能会不舒服。而自己只有旧鞋而没有新鞋可以捐赠,这一点让Nicholas很烦恼。故选B。
(13)考查固定短语。A. because of“因为,由于”;B. apart from“远离,除……之外”;C. instead of“而不是……”;D. except for“除了……之外”。因为每个人的脚并不完全相同,所以旧鞋穿到别人脚上可能会不舒服。而自己只有旧鞋而没有新鞋可以捐赠,故选C。 (14)考查状语从句。A. if“如果”;B. once“一旦”;C. until“直到……为止”;D. though“尽管”。根据上文“No two people's feet are exactly the same”可知,没有两个人的脚会完全一样,如果你穿别人穿过的鞋,你的脚不会很舒服。此处表示假设的条件,故选A。 (15)考查形容词。A. expensive“昂贵的”;B. new“新的”;C. strong“强壮的”;D. unique“独一无二的”。根据上文可知,Nicholas意识到如果我们穿别人穿过的鞋,脚会不舒服,于是在12岁时,他发起了一项活动,为无家可归的孩子们捐赠新鞋。故选B。
(16)考查固定短语。A. At least“至少”;B. In fact“事实上”;C. In addition“另外”;D. At first“最初”。根据下一句中的“then”可知,与之相对应的应该是at first,意为“最初,起先”。故选D。
(17)考查形容词。A. homeless“无家可归的”;B. special“特殊的,专门的”;C. poor“贫穷的”;D. sick“病态的”。根据上文的“to homeless children”可知,在父母的帮助下,Nicholas启动了Gotta Have Sole Foundation项目,为21个州的1万多名无家可归的(homeless)孩子捐赠了新鞋。故选A。
(18)考查形容词。A. useless“无用的”;B. simple“简单的”;C. funny“好笑的”;D. cheap“便宜的”。根据下文“a pair of shoes, can make children feel ___19_____ about themselves and gain confidence”可知,捐赠一双鞋这么简单的事就能让孩子们感觉很好并且获得自信。故选B。

(5)句意:因此,他不买票往返来省钱。waste意为浪费;spend意为花费,度过;save意为省,挽救;cost意为花费。他不买票是为了省钱,故选C。
(6)句意:结果,他四次因为没有票在地铁上被抓住。ticket意为车票;money意为钱;cost意为花费;pay意为工资。根据上文可知David经常逃票,所以他应该是没有票被抓。 (7)句意:但是他从没有把这件事放在心上。never意为从来,绝不;often意为经常;sometimes意为有时;always意为经常。根据前文他四次逃票被抓和后文的but可知此处表示转折但是他不放在心上,故选A。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,论述了孩子要承担适量的家庭工作才会有归属感和责任感。父母不能让孩子承担过多的家庭劳动,他们会反抗;也不能不让孩子承担家庭劳动,这样他们学不到责任感。家长应该根据孩子的性格,给与适当、适量的家庭劳动。 (1)考查副词。句意:因此,每年他们都应该承担更多的责任。A. Next“接下来”;B. Also“也”;C. Therefore“因此”;D. Alike“相似”。根据语境可知,前后两句话因果关系;因为孩子们逐渐会自己能够处理像回家作业和学校课题这样的事物,所以每年都可以承担更多的责任,故选C。
(2)考查名词。句意:这些家务活和责任是了解生活需要工作而非仅仅玩耍的重要的部分。A. work“工作”;B. music“音乐”;C. love“爱”;D. sport“运动”。根据下文的“not just play”判断此处用“工作”符合语境,not just play和work是近义词复现,故选A。
(3)考查名词。句意:当然,正常情况下,孩子们仍然一根筋地有只要快乐玩耍的欲望。A. courage“勇气”;B. time“时间”;C. effort“努力”;D. desire“欲望”。根据本句的“single-minded”和“have fun”推断此处用“欲望”符合语境,故选D。
(4)考查动词短语。句意:即使他们加入(尤其是帮助做家务让他们有时间和父母呆在一起)他们一般不可能主动要求做家务,父母常常需要布置作为家庭归属感的任务。 A. helping out“帮助”;B. coming out“出版,开花”;C. running out“用完”;D. trying out“尝试”。根据语境可知,本篇主要讲述孩子帮忙做家务的话题,故此处用“孩子帮助做家务”符合语境,故选A。

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The constant working engine that drives the majority of human action is, undoubtedly, the fragrant dream of individualism. And while the presence of its scent is 1 throughout the world entirely, its value is worshipped (敬奉) to such an extent in a land no other than that of America.
As the framework of its history, America holds individuality as the ever-popular green light, the essence of which becomes the symbol of hope for, well, almost everything. In fact, in America's current social status, individuality has become something of a birthright, and a 2 applied upon the face of the media, where it was 3 valued as the American dream. There is no denying the popularity of this idol in American society, and little hope for 4 it.
However, 5 most pride themselves in their individualistic state, perhaps humans, when stripped (剥) to their core (核心), are everything but.
It is no new discovery that people are the sum of their experiences. The overwhelming majority of human experiences involve other humans, along with the 6 and relationships between them. It is a 7 occurrence when a life is built upon events without this stimulus. Indeed, interaction is the core of experience. Therefore, in order that humans are the sum of their
experiences, they must be the sum of the people that they meet, just as well.
As an Americanized teen, I found the discovery that not only my self-entitled individualism was 8 , but that I, as a being, was a product, increasingly unsettling to accept. Questions 9 me such as “If I am bits and pieces of everyone I have met — my family, my teachers, all of my friends, and even strangers — then what is left that is just me? What part of me is just me? How much of myself is the combining of different parts of different people? Is such a 10 between myself and others even possible?”
Such are inquiries that will continue to be thought about, as I have come to accept that they will remain a 11 . Therefore, with the allowance of these questions, the response must be a 12 in the definition of “oneself”. The previously mentioned questions no longer concern me, as I have put a stop to the idea that the “real” me is some lost isolated island on top of an ocean of influence.
I realized that my personality cannot depend on a(n) 13 between influence and individualism, as such is a line that cannot be distinct. 14 , I must be a person whose calmness is a beautifully hazy mixture, and a steady question. Thus, it is the commonly unnoticed durable mystery that is the frustration of those who can 15 the lie of individualism. Hopefully, they will come into acceptance.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者就美国社会中存在的个人主义发表自己的看法,作者认为,当人类被剥到他们的核心时,他们可能就一无所有了,自我标榜的个人主义是错误的,需要从新审视。
(1)考查形容词。句意:尽管个人主义的美好梦想在全世界都是不可否认的,但它的价值却在美国这片土地上受到如此程度的崇拜。A. unpredictable “不可预测的”;B. untrustworthy“不可信赖的”;C. unreliable“不可靠的”;D. undeniable“不可否认的”。根据
“The constant working engine that drives the majority of human action is, undoubtedly, the fragrant dream of individualism.”可知,驱动大多数人类活动持续运转的引擎,无疑是对个人主义的美好梦想的追求。所以判断出个人主义在全世界都受到追捧,是不可否认的。故选D。
(2)考查名词。句意:事实上,在美国目前的社会地位中,个性已经成为一种与生俱来的权利,一种应用在媒体表面上的必需品,在媒体上,个性曾经被视为美国梦。A. necessity“必需品”;B. characteristic“特性”;C. mark“记号”; D. model“模范”。根据上文可知,个人主义在美国受到如此程度的追捧,所以它也会出现在美国生活的各个方面,因此也是经常被媒体使用的必需品。符合生活常识。故选A。
(3)考查副词。句意:事实上,在美国目前的社会地位中,个性已经成为一种与生俱来的权利,一种应用在媒体表面上的必需品,在媒体上,个性曾经被视为美国梦。A. later“后来”;B. previously“以前地”;C. extremely“极端地”;D. publicly“公共地”。分析句子可知,where所引导的定语从句为一般过去时,所以判断句中有表示过去的时间状语,意在说明个人主义之前的称呼。故选B。

(6)考查名词。句意:绝大多数的人类经验都涉及到其他人,以及他们之间的相互作用和关系。A. conflict“冲突”;B. tension“紧张”;C. interaction“相互影响”;D. cooperation“合作”。根据下文“Indeed, interaction is the core of experience”可知,相互作用是人类经验的核心。这是一句总结的句子,是对上句小题6中interaction还是relationship的总结,所以判断出本题答案为interaction。故选C。
(7)考查形容词。句意:当生活建立在没有这种刺激的事件上时,这是很少见的。生活就是多人在一起共同作用的活动,没有共同作用的生活是很少见的。A. common“共同的”;B. rare“稀少的”;C. frequent“频繁的”;D. strange“奇怪的”。故选B。
(8)考查形容词。句意:作为一个美国化的青少年,我发现不仅自我标榜的个人主义是错误的,而且我作为一个人,是一个产品,越来越难以接受。A. right“正确的”;B. justified“合理的”;C. unclear“不清楚的”;D. false“错误的”。根据上文可知,作者认为没有共同作用的生活是很少见的,所以觉得自己的个人主义,脱离了人的群体,脱离了社会,因此认为是错误的。故选D。
(9)考查动词。句意: “如果我是我遇到的每一个人的碎片——我的家人、老师、所有的朋友,甚至是陌生人,”这样的问题困扰着我。A. affected“影响”;B. interrupted“打断”;C. bothered“烦扰”;D. surprised“使惊讶”。根据下文“what is left that is just me? What part of me is just me?...”可知,这些问题烦扰作者着并让作者感到困惑。故选C。
(10)考查名词。句意:我和别人之间有隔阂吗?A. separation“分离”;B. combination“结合”;C. contras “对比”;D. communication“交流”。这是表示自己的个人主义使自己和其他人分离了,所以作者在发出疑问。故选A。
(11)考查名词。句意:这些将会继续被考虑,因为我已经接受了这些调查仍然是个谜。A. secret“秘密”;B. mystery“谜”;C. truth“真理”;D. fantasy“幻想”。根据“Such are inquiries that will continue to be thought about”可知,这些调查将会继续被考虑,所以判断调查仍然是一个谜。故选B。
(12)考查名词。句意:因此,在考虑到这些问题的情况下,答复必须是对\"自己\"定义的改变。A. gap“间隙”;B. belief“信念”;C. factor“因素”;D. change“改变”。根据下文“I realized that…I must be a person…”可知,作者意识到了要去改变自己。故选D。
(13)考查名词。句意:我意识到,我的个性不能依赖于影响力和个人主义之间的区别,因为这是一条无法区分的界线。A. distinction“区分”;B. connection“联系”;C. exchange“交换”;D. medium“媒质”。根据“as such is a line that cannot be distinct”可知,因为这是一条无法区分的界线,所以我的个性不能依赖于影响力和个人主义之间的区别。故选A。 (14)考查副词。句意:相反,我必须是一个冷静的人,冷静是一个美丽而朦胧的混合物,也是一个坚定的问题。A. Therefore“因此”;B. However“然而”;C. Instead“反而”;D. Furthermore“此外”。前后语意转折。故选C。
(15)考查动词短语。句意:因此,正是那些能看穿个人主义谎言的人的沮丧,才是人们普遍忽视的持久之谜。A. break up“破裂”;B. make up“组成”;C. cope with“处理”;D. see through“看穿”。see through“看穿”能更好地反应人们对个人主义谎言的无奈和沮丧,但这种无奈和沮丧却被人们普遍忽视。故选D。
