Question

The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the   36  to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really   37  work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn't about to   38  Grandpa down. Just then something caught my   39  . A large brown squirrel was a few feet away.  I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   40  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel   41  out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so   42  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   43  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my   44 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so   45  of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   46 , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many ? ” I told him how I'd   47  the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that   48  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently   49  my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter   50  of food, ” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will   51  the cold winter? ”
“I didn't think about that,” I said.
“I know, ” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take   52  of someone else's hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit   53 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't   54  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the   55  of knowing I had done just the right thing.

解析試題分析：本文講述爺爺讓我去樹林里撿山核桃。結(jié)果我把松鼠的核桃拿了回來，在爺爺?shù)慕逃�下，我又把所有的核桃都還了回去。
【小題1】A從上下文知，我被爺爺派去撿山核桃，再結(jié)合第一句中的“farm”和選項(xiàng)可知我應(yīng)該到樹林(woods)里去，而不是房間(room)，洞里(hole)和路上(road)。
【小題2】B從后面的我才撿半籃山核桃可知，撿山核桃對(duì)我來說是一項(xiàng)挺困難的(hard)活，其他選項(xiàng)都不符合語境。
【小題3】B 從下文知，我不想讓爺爺失望，此處let sb. down是固定詞組，意為“令某人失望”。
【小題4】D就在此時(shí)，不遠(yuǎn)處的一只棕色大松鼠引起了我的注意。catch one's eye表示“引起某人的注意”。
【小題5】C那只松鼠撿起一顆山核桃向一棵樹跑去，最后消失(disappear)在樹干的大洞中。該句中的三個(gè)動(dòng)作表承接：先pick up，然后hurry to，最后disappear。join“加入”，live“生存”，discover“發(fā)現(xiàn)”都不符合語境。
【小題6】B該處表示：不久，那只松鼠又從洞中跳了出來(jump out)，故選A項(xiàng)。hold out“伸出，堅(jiān)持”；stand out“突出”；find out“發(fā)現(xiàn)”都不符合語境。
【小題7】A從后文中dashed over to the tree可知，作者認(rèn)為松鼠撿山核桃不再是秘密了。
【小題8】A我發(fā)現(xiàn)洞中到處都是山核桃，be filled with是固定詞組，意為“充滿著”，符合語境；be covered with“覆蓋”；be decorated with“用……裝飾”。
【小題9】D當(dāng)看到洞中有這么多的山核桃，作者認(rèn)為自己的機(jī)會(huì)來了。
【小題10】C 作者拿了這么多的山核桃，心里非常高興，當(dāng)然很驕傲。be proud of“自豪，高興”，符合語境。be afraid of表示“害怕，擔(dān)憂”；be ashamed of表示“感到羞愧”；be careful of表示“小心”。
【小題11】C此處表示我迫不及待地想把撿到的山核桃讓爺爺看，因此興奮地大叫起來，前后句構(gòu)成“因果關(guān)系”，用therefore。otherwise“否則”；however“然而”；besides“除此之外還……”。
【小題12】A我告訴了爺爺，我是如何跟蹤(follow)松鼠，從而找到這些山核桃的。
【小題13】D此處表示爺爺雖然表揚(yáng)了我，但他接下來做的事情讓我很吃驚(surprised)。
【小題14】C爺爺用胳膊挽著我的肩膀，用介詞around。
【小題15】B松鼠努力工作，收集了過冬食物，此處supply of food表示“食物儲(chǔ)備”。
【小題16】D你把他的食物都拿走了，難道你沒有想過他在寒冷的冬天還能活下去嗎？survive“挺過”，符合語境。
【小題17】D好人不應(yīng)該利用(take advantage of)別人的辛勤勞動(dòng)。take place of“代替”；take notice of“注意到”；take charge of“負(fù)責(zé)”，都與語境不符。
【小題18】B爺爺說了這些話后，我突然有了一種負(fù)罪感(guilty)。
【小題19】A那只松鼠挨餓的場(chǎng)景在我心頭揮之不去，所以用leave one's mind表示“離開……心頭”。
【小題20】C此處表示作者為自己做了一件正確的事情而感到很滿足(satisfaction)
考點(diǎn)：考查故事類完型填空
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述爺爺讓我去樹林里撿山核桃。結(jié)果我把松鼠的核桃拿了回來，在爺爺?shù)慕逃�下，我又把所有的核桃都還了回去。屬于故事類完型，這類文章一般描述的是某一件具體事情的發(fā)生發(fā)展或結(jié)局，有人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和事件。命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件的之間的關(guān)系、作者的態(tài)度及意圖、故事前因和后果的推測(cè)等方面著手，考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力。閱讀這類材料時(shí)，同學(xué)們一定要根據(jù)主要情節(jié)掌握文章主旨大意，同時(shí)抓住每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)，設(shè)身處地根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)情節(jié)展開想象，即使是碰到深層理解題也可迎刃而解。
