before my father left us my mother had to go back to work to support our family Once I came out of the kitchen complaining Mom I can t peel potatoes I have only one hand Mom never looked up from sewing You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes she told me And don t ever use that as an excuse for anything again In the second grade our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars swinging from one high steel rod to the next When it was my turn I shook my head Some kids behind me laug hed and I went home crying That night I told Mom about it She hugged me and I saw her we ll see about that look The next afternoon she took me back to school At the deserted playground Mom looked carefully at the bars Now pull up with your right arm she advised She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow Day after day we practiced and she praised me for every rung I reached I ll never forget the next time crossing the rungs I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open One night after a dance at my new junior high I lay in bed sobbing I could hear Mom come into my room Mom I said weeping none of the boys would dance with me For a long time I didn t hear anything Then she said Oh honey someday you ll be beating those boys off with a bat Her voice was faint and cracking I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf She had never let me see her tears 6 Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe 4 Mom s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes A Cruel B Serious C Strict D Cold 7 From the passage we know monkey bars can help a child train A the skill to throw and catch things B the speed of one s hand movement C the strength and skill to hang and sway D the bodily skill to rotate round a bar 8 What does the sentence I saw her we ll see about that look imply A Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it B The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up C Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher D What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity 9 When the child looked down at the kids they were standing with their mouths open because A they felt sorry for what they had done before B they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt C they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars D they were astonished to find the author s progress 10 The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is A the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep B the child s experience reminded Mom of that of her own C Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph D in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child s growth 3 3 Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house So 5 far as the children were concerned they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination He stirred Maggie s anger however so that she often said to her husband It s mercy that brother of yours doesn t come oftener In fact James came once a year unexpectedly around eight o clock in the evening and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them He took no notice of them as if he was unable to see children at least until the time came for him to go Instead after his first greeting and a careless kiss James took no notice of Maggie either except to add You ll be getting on with the supper Maggie Such was his regard for her Maggie paid him back in her own way She kept the children up the four of them to keep her company she said but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James s voice Very late they dropped off to sleep in their chairs Then when James was about to go Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left That gave her some satisfaction for James though rich was mean He always went home by the last train just after two o clock Maggie s children secretly stared at their uncle They could not forget that he had in their mother s words lost two wives and taken a third They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies They asked each other what their fate had been and if neither could ever be found again James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door 11 The underlined word mercy in the text most probably means A loss B wonder C lucky thing D terrible thing 12 Maggie never prepared anything special for James because A he was a man difficult to please B she never knew when he was coming 6 C she was too busy looking after her children D he never stayed long enough for a meal 13 What do we know about James behavior A He was a kind man with love for the family B He was generous especially towards his brother C He was anxious to please the family especially the kids D He was rude to his sister in law 14 Maggie felt pleased when A she paid James the money that she owed him B James gave some money to the children C she had to wake James up to catch his train D James thanked her for the nice supper 15 The children did not realize that two of James wives A had been dead B suffered from loss of memory C had run away from him D might appear again one day 答案与解析 文章是一则业余培训班的招生广告 1 C 推理判断题 根据 With Harcourt you study at home in your spare time so you don t have to give up
