【解析】

1.

解析 作者的感悟“...work was about more than ____ and making a sale.”是在父親店里工作學習到的。

2.2】 A

解析 對于多數(shù)人來說,工作是為了保障生活,而類似于下文的事例讓作者明白,他在父親店里的工作不只是為了生存和賣東西,還可以給別人帶去快樂。

3.3】 B

解析 根據(jù)下文“His shoes were scuffed(磨損) and his one shoelace was torn.The little boy looked poor...”可知,此處是描述小男孩衣衫襤褸,因此dirty符合語境。

4.4】 C

解析 小男孩看起來非常窮,買不起任何一件物品。afford買得起,承擔得起,符合句意。

5.5】 D

解析 由句意可知,小男孩看看這個看看那個,然后小心地把物品放回原位,carefully強調(diào)小男孩對物品的愛惜。

6.6】 B

解析 根據(jù)下文“...the dimple(酒窩) in his cheek stood out...”可知,smile符合語境。

7.7】 A

解析 根據(jù)下文“The boy said he was looking for...”可知,父親詢問小男孩有什么可以為他做的。

8.8】 C

解析 根據(jù)下一段“...the little boy picked up a toy plane...”可知,小男孩想為他弟弟買一個圣誕禮物。

9.9】 B

解析 根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知,父親并沒有輕視這個貧窮的小男孩,以對待成人那樣尊重的態(tài)度對待他。

10.0】 C

解析 根據(jù)下一段After about 20 minutes可知父親讓小男孩不要著急慢慢挑。take one’s time從容進行,不著急。

11.1】 D

解析 根據(jù)下文小男孩向作者的父親展示自己帶的錢可知,父親問小男孩有多少錢,get符合語境。

12.2】 B

解析 小男孩伸出手并且把手張開,作者和父親才能看到他手里的錢。

13.3】 C

解析 小男孩因為把錢攥得太緊以致出汗,和手上的泥土混合,使得手心看起來像起了一道道的皺痕,因此wet符合語境。

14.4】 D

解析 根據(jù)下文“In his hand lay only 27 cents.”可知,小男孩手里攥的是錢。

15.5】 A

解析 根據(jù)后面的$3.98可知此處說的是玩具飛機的價錢。

16.6】 B

解析 這個玩具飛機是小男孩經(jīng)過20多分鐘精心挑選出來的,因此pick out精心挑選,符合語境。

17.7】 B

解析 根據(jù)下文“Dad said as he made the sale.”可知,盡管小男孩的錢很少,父親仍然把玩具飛機賣給了他,所以此處父親是告訴小男孩他的錢正好夠支付這個玩具飛機的,cover夠付,符合語境。

18.8】 A

解析 小男孩的錢很少,但是父親卻說夠支付玩具,使得小男孩能夠為他的弟弟購買圣誕禮物,心滿意足地離開商店。父親的舉動使作者很受震撼,所以他的話經(jīng)常在作者耳邊回響,因此ring符合語境。ring in one’s ears在耳邊回響。

19.9C

解析 根據(jù)第二段中的“...his one shoelace was torn.”可知選single

20.20】 D

解析 小男孩為弟弟選購禮物的心愿達成,非常高興,這個禮物對他來說非常重要,就像一個珍寶,因此treasure符合語境。
