He had gone to a concert with his grandparents. As they were leaving, he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat. Impressed by its _26_， Oscar felt a strong desire to find its _27_ .Oscar _28_ the manager to look in the record of advance ticket sales. Just as he thought, a name matched the seat _29_ Oscar had found the umbrella. The name was Mrs. Katie OBrien.Oscar talked his grandparents into going by Mrs. OBriens _30_ on their way home. He rang the bell, the door opened, and an elderly woman appeared.“May I _31_ you？”she asked.“Id like to return it if its yours，”Oscar said, _32_the umbrella as if presenting a _33_ that had long been wished for.“Why, yes! Its mine，”replied Mrs. OBrien with a _34_ smile and shining eyes.“It was given to me by my father years ago. Thank you so much for returning it. May I offer you a reward for your _35_？”“No, maam，”he said, “My grandmother says that a good deed is its own reward.”“Well, thats _36_ what my father used to say. What is your name, young man？”Years later Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remembered Mrs. OBrien. It was in perfect condition, considering how _37_ it was. Why had it arrived here today?As if _38_， a note fell from the paper. It read: Mrs. OBrien wanted you to _39_ this umbrella as a present for a kind, _40_ gesture long ago.21A.strictly BcarefullyCroughly Dcasually22A.Opening BSeizingCObserving DSearching23A.After BWhenCSince DAlthough24A.clearly BfullyCimmediately Dsuddenly25A.average BunusualCplain Dtypical26A.beauty BshapeCorigin Dhistory27A.designer BsellerCuser Downer28A.convinced BforcedCencouraged Dadvised29A.until BbeforeCwhich Dwhere30A.family BtheaterChouse Dneighborhood31A.invite BhelpCbother Dknow32A.putting up Bturning outCpicking up Dholding out33A.chance BfactCgift Dresult34A.wide BconfidentCproud Dshy35A.patience BkindnessCcourage Ddetermination36A.obviously BnaturallyCexactly Dprobably37A.old BrareCprecious Dnice38A.in contrast Bin returnCin exchange Din answer39A.possess BacceptCcarry Dvalue40A.attractive BsignificantCunselfish Dsympathetic【要点综述】常言说“勿以善小而不为，勿以恶小而为之”。本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Oscar收到了一个包裹，包裹里面是一把雨伞，看到雨伞，Oscar回忆起了20多年前，当时他还是个16岁的少年时，在听完音乐会后，发现了一把Katie夫人遗忘的雨伞，他不辞辛苦地去她家归还雨伞的经历。而在20多年后，Katie夫人又把这把雨伞通过包裹的形式赠送给了Oscar，以感谢他当年的善举。21. B从上下文知，这个包裹很重要，所以是用褐色纸张小心(carefully)包裹起来的一个长的盒子，strictly表示“严格地”；roughly表示“粗略地”；casually表示“随意地”；都与语意不符合。22. A从上下文知道，Oscar打开了这个盒子，发现里面是一把雨伞，所以此处用open表示“打开”，其他都不符合语意。23. D从语境知，虽然(Although)Oscar已经有快20多年没再见过这把雨伞，但是他马上(immediately)就认出了它，此处根据上下句可知，语意表示“转折”，所以用Although，其他都不符合语境。24. C参见上题解析。clearly表示“清晰地”；fully表示“完全地”；suddenly表示“突然地”，根据句意选C项。25. B从下文知，这把雨伞对于老妇人而言是非常珍贵的，所以应该是“不同寻常的”，故用unusual；average表示“平均的”；plain表示“平淡的，平凡的”；typical表示“典型的”；都不符合语境。26. A从上文知，此伞不同寻常，同时从下文知，这伞非常珍贵，由此Oscar必定是对这伞的“美丽之处”印象深刻，第二段也提到伞的美丽，所以用beauty。shape表示“形状”；origin表示“起源”；history表示“历史”；都不符合语意，故选A项。27. D上文提到“he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat”，由此推断知Oscar要找到的是该伞的主人，所以选owner。designer表示“设计师”；seller表示“销售商”；user表示“使用者”；都不符合语境。28. A从下文知，Oscar说服了剧院经理去查先前的售票记录，如他所料，有一个名字对上了，她是Katie女士。这里convince表示“说服”。force表示“强迫”；encourage表示“鼓励”；advise表示“建议”；都与语境不符，根据句意选A项。29. D这里是定语从句考点，先行词是the seat，在从句中作地点状语，所以用where，因此选D项。30. C从全文知，Oscar说服了他的祖父母顺便去一下Katie女士家里(house)。family表示“家庭”时，侧重于家庭成员；theater表示“剧院”；neighborhood表示“邻里”；都不符合上下文，根据句意选C项。31. B从下文知，Katie女士没想到会有人来还伞，所以开门看到一个陌生人的第一反应就是“我可以帮你什么忙吗？”，所以用“May I help you”这样的交际用语，其他选项都无此用法，因此选B项。32. D从上文return知，Oscar是要还雨伞，所以他是伸出(hold out)手去把雨伞交给Katie女士，好像是那渴望已久的礼物(gift)一样。put up表示“张贴，竖起”；turn out表示“证明是，表明是”；pick up表示“接收，拾起”；都不符合语境。33. C参见上题解析。这里可以从下文的wish for推断出，表示长久渴望得到的东西，应该用gift才能表达此意义，故答案选C项。34. A从下文知，Katie女士拿到雨伞后很开心，所以会笑得很灿烂，故用a wide smile来表示。confident表示“自信的”；proud表示“骄傲的，自豪的”；shy表示“害羞的”；都与语境不符，根据句意选A项。35. BKatie女士认为Oscar这样的善举(kindness)应该得到一定的报偿，因为这伞对她来说是非常珍贵的。patience表示“耐心”；courage表示“勇气”；determination表示“决心”；都不符合语境。36. C从下文知，Oscar祖母说过的话也正是(exactly)Katie女士的父亲所讲过的，故用exactly表示“正是，就是”。obviously表示“明显地”；naturally表示“自然地”；probably表示“可能地”；都不符合语境。37. A结合全文知，这把伞已经有些年头了，应该是很旧(old)了的，但保存得相当好。该空选项可以从前文in perfect condition推断出。38. D从前文“Why had it arrived here today”知，Oscar感到很疑惑，为什么Katie女士要把伞送给他，而似乎是对他疑问的一种回应，他发现纸上还有张便条掉了下来，所以用in answer。in contrast表示“作为对比”；in return表示“作为回报”；in exchange表示“用于交换”；都不符合语境。39. B从便条知，Katie女士希望Oscar能接受(accept)这把雨伞作为对他的无私(unselfish)之善举的一种馈赠。possess表示“拥有，占有”；carry表示“携带”；value表示“珍惜”；都不符合语境。40. C参见上题解析。Oscar能把伞送还给Katie女士，这本身就是一种无私的行为，所以用unselfish。28.This is a story that can teach us a good lesson. One day, a man in rags begged from door to door along the street. With an old wallet in his hand, he was asking for a few coins to buy something to eat. He kept complaining about his bad fortune and kept _16_ why those who had so much money were never _17_ and were always desiring more.“As far as Im concerned, if I had only enough to _18_ and to wear, I would not want anything more.”Just at that moment Goddess Fortune, who came down the _19_ saw the beggar and said to him, “Hi, I have wished to _20_ you for a long time. Now, open your _21_ and I will pour my gold into it. But I will do that only on this _22_ : All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the _23_ shall become dust. Do you understand？”“I see.” said the beggar.“Then you should _24_ ！Its obvious that your wallet is a(an) _25_ one, so dont load it too heavily，” said the Goddess Fortune.The excited beggar could hardly _26_ to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a _27_ of yellow coins was poured into it. The wallet grew heavier and heavier.“Is that enough? Isnt it cracking？” asked Fortune.“Never _28_ .Its still strong enough now.”answered the beggar.The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggars hands began to _29_. “Ah, if only the golden stream would _30_ forever! Just a little more，” said the beggar, “_31_ just a handful or two.”“There! Its full. The wallet will _32_ .” warned the Goddess, but the beggar requested, “It will _33_ a little more, just a little more.”One more piece was added and the wallet split. The _34_ fell upon the ground and became dust. The greedy beggar had now _35_ but his broken bag.16A.showing BexplainingCproving Dwondering17A.relaxed BsatisfiedCworried Ddepressed18A.learn BwatchCeat Dplay19A.street BbridgeCyard Dforest20A.praise BforgiveChelp Dcomfort21A.coat BpocketCbox Dwallet22A.occasion BsuggestionCsituation Dcondition23A.hand BfeetCground Dstreet24A.look out Blook afterClook up Dlook down25A.small BemptyCworn Dfull26A.stand BwaitCbreathe Dthink27A.stream BpieceCpair Dvariety28A.stop BrequestCfear Dinsist29A.spread BcloseCloose Dshake30A.pour BendCdry Dmelt31A.take BaddClend Dsend32A.flow BburstCdisappear Dchange33A.attract BpermitCinclude Dhold34A.present BfoodCtreasure Dmetal35A.nothing BanythingCeverything Dsomething【要点综述】一个沿街乞讨的乞丐遇到了财富女神，财富女神给了乞丐许多金币，同时告诫乞丐，金币掉到地上则化为灰尘。贪婪的乞丐不听劝告，导致金币撑破钱包化为灰尘，乞丐又变得一无所有。故事告诫人们面对金钱不要贪得无厌。16D根据第一段最后一句，为什么那些人如此有钱却从不满足，还想得到更多。可知乞丐对此百思不得其解，“keep wondering”(一直想知道)符合句意。17B还想得到更多，所以不满足，B项符合句意。18C由常识可知，乞丐最重要的是要解决吃和穿的问题。eat(吃)对应下面提到的“穿”，符合语境。learn学习；watch看，观察；play游戏；均不符合语境。19A根据第一段，乞丐在沿街乞讨，所以财富女神降落到大街上才能看到乞丐。street(街道)符合语境。bridge桥；yard院子；forest森林；均不符合语境。20C根据下文，“打开你的钱包，我要给你一些金子”，可知财富女神在帮助乞丐。所以选help，意为：帮助。praise表扬；forgive原谅； comfort安慰；均不符合语境。21D根据第三段中“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold”(所有进入你钱包的都是纯金)可知乞丐打开的是一个钱包，所以选 wallet，意为“钱包”。22D只有在这种条件下，“我”才会去做。“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the_shall become dust”指上文提到的这种条件。condition“条件、状况”，符合句意。23C句意：每一枚金币掉到地上都会变成尘土。ground(地面)符合语境。24A根据下文财富女神告诫乞丐不要装得太重，提醒乞丐注意、当心。所以选look out。look after照顾；look up仰视，向上看；look down俯视。25C上文中“With an old wallet in his hand”表明这是一个旧钱包，所以选worn，意思是：用旧的。26Bcould hardly wait to do sth.意为：迫不及待做某事。句意：激动的乞丐早已迫不及待地想拿到金子。27A根据倒数第三段中提到“golden stream”可知答案。28C通过乞丐告诉财富女神钱包现在还很结实，可知不要为钱包担心。Never fear.不要害怕。29D句意：钱包装了如此多的金币，乞丐的手开始发抖。shake(发抖)符合语境。spread伸展；close关闭；loose放松；均不符合语境。30A乞丐希望金子源源不断地流出，四个选项中只有pour(流出)能形象地描绘出乞丐的贪婪。31B对应前文的“Just a little more，”可知，这里表达的意思是：贪婪的乞丐想再往钱包中多装一两把金子。add(添加)符合句意。take拿，携带；lend借出； send发送；均不符合语境。最后一段的第一句话也有原词复现：One more piece was added and the wallet split。32B钱包已经装满了，而且是一个旧钱包，继续装可能会裂开。所以选burst“破裂”。下文中的“split”为同义词复现。33D贪婪的乞丐认为钱包还能多装一点。hold“容纳”，符合语境。34Ctreasure(财宝)这里指代金币。钱包破裂后金币自然会掉到地上。present礼物； food食物；metal金属；均不符合句意。35A句意：贪婪的乞丐除了破裂的钱包一无所有。nothing什么也没有。29.One day all the employees of a very famous company reached their office and all saw a big sign on the main door which said this：“Yesterday, the _16_ who has been hindering (阻碍) your growth in this company _17_.

There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who _29_ it could see themselves! There was also a sign next to the mirror that _30_：“There is only one person who is capable of setting _31_ to your growth and IT IS YOU！” Your life does not _32_ when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife changesNo, your life changes when YOU change, when you _33_ your limiting beliefs inside.Examine yourself; watch yourself.
