D.laugh参考答案：36．A解析：memory为“记忆，留在记忆中的往事”，thought为“想法，观念”。跟broughtback(使记起，使回忆)搭配应用memory即spaghetti使我记起了在UncleAl—len家的往事，所以正确答案为A。37．A解析：根据上下语境此处应填表示时间的连词，连接此处与上句。此句为定语从句，它所修饰的先行词不是UncleAllen's，也不是Belleville，而是anevening，所以应填when，相当于inwhich也即intheevening，所以正确答案为A。38．B解析：根据上下语境并没有说AuntPat做了Spaghetti，所以A、D项排除，而是说我们后来吃了，所以应用serve(供以饮食，上菜／饭等)，所以正确答案为B。39．D解析：根据上下语境，此句仍在回忆，所以应用those。inthosedays为“在过去的那些日子里”，所以正确答案为D。40．A解析：根据题空前的and说明这是一并列句，前句用了Never，后句也应用否定代词，所以应用none，故正确答案为A。41．B解析：综合上下语境，tobe41it．是定语修饰其前的experience，又因后面提及的吃spaghetti的情景，可猜出此处应填goodat，即我们谁也不擅长吃spaghetti，而其它几个选项放在这里不恰当，所以正确答案为B。42．D解析：此句设了两个空，但都是围绕怎样吃spaghetti而设的。speeches演讲，演说；lessons教程，教训；sayings格言，警句；arguments辩论，争论，所以此题正确答案为D。43D解析：根据上下语境及method前的respectable应选socially，故正确答案为D。44．C解析：根据上下语境，我是在回忆起这段往事时，突发奇想，想写下来，所以应用Suddenly，而其它三个词放在此处行文逻辑都不通，所以正确答案为C。45．B解析：settledown安顿，定居；putdown写出，写下；takedown取下，写下，记录；letdown放低，放下；takedown只指记下别人说的或写的东西，而putdown还可指把自己想写的东西写出来，所以B为正确答案。46．D解析：根据上下文，应为formyownjoy，因为把这段回忆写出来是作者自愿的，故正确答案为D。47．C解析：根据上下语境，此处应为对于老师，Asforsb．“对于某人来说”。其它三项放在此处都不能把上下文恰当地贯穿起来，所以C为正确答案。48．A解析：根据题空前的thenightwashalf，很显然这里应填time，Therewasnotimelefttodosth．为“没有做某事的时间了”，所以A为正确答案。49．C解析：据上下文，他只写了一篇作文，所以除了交上这篇之外，别无选择，There

isnochoicebuttodosth．“除了做某事以外，别无选择”。所以C为正确答案。50．B解析：written“书面的”；graded“打过分的，分过等级的”；collected“搜集的”；signed“已签过字的”。据上下文，此处是指老师拿回他已经分出优、良的作文。因为后文又暗示了老师朗读了“我”的作文，所以B为正确答案。51．A解析：据上文，Iwanttoreadyouacomposition和最后一段中的thewholeclasswaslaughing可知老师朗读了“我”的作文。readloud“朗读”，而publicly是“公开的”=openly，notinprivate，所以正确答案为A。52．C解析：据上下文，先是一人笑，然后全班笑，所以正确答案为C。53．D解析：据but后句的purehappiness可知53空为pleasure，所以正确答案为D。54．B解析：据上下语境，我之所以感到快乐，是因为……。for“因为”，放在句中后句对前句起补充说明作用，所以正确答案为B。55．D解析：文中最后一段多次出现laugh作暗示，“我”的作文确实使别人发笑，所以正确答案为D。三、阅读理解18.Children'sliveshavechangedgreatlyoverthelast50years．ButdotheyhaveahappierchildhoodthanyouorIdid?It'sdifficulttolookbackonone'sownchildhoodwithoutsomeelementofnostalgia（怀旧的）．Ihavefourbrothersandsisters,andmymemoriesareallaboutbeingwiththem．Playingboardgamesonthelivingroomfloor,orspendingdaysinthestreetwiththeotherneighborhoodchildren,racingupanddownonourbikes,orexploringthenearbywoods．Myparentsscarcelyappearinthesememories,exceptasproviderseitherofmealsorofsevereblameaftersomeparticularlyriskyadventure．Thesedays,intheUKatleast,thenatureofchildhoodhaschangeddramatically．Firstly,familiesaresmaller,andtherearefarmoreonlychildren．Itiscommonforbothparentstoworkoutsidethehomeandthereisthefeelingthattherejustisn'ttimetobringupalargefamily,orthatnoonecouldpossiblyaffordtohavemorethanonechild．Asaresult,today'sboysandgirlsspendmuchoftheirtimealone．Anothermajorchangeisthatyoungsterstodaytendtospendahugeamountoftheirfreetimeathome,inside．Morethananythingthisisduetothefactthatparentsworryfarmorethantheyusedtoaboutrealorimagineddangers,sotheywouldn'tdreamoflettingtheirchildrenplayoutsidebythemselves．Finally,thekindoftoyschildrenhaveandthewaytheyplayistotallydifferent．Computerandvideogameshavereplacedtheboardgamesandmoreinterestingactivitiesofmychildhood．Theirony（令人啼笑皆非的事情）isthatsomanywaysofplayinggamesarecalled"interactive”．Thefactthatyoucanplayelectronicgamesonyourownfurtherincreasesthesenseoflonelinessfeltbymanyyoungpeopletoday．DothesechangesmeanthatchildrentodayhavealessrelaxingchildhoodthanIhad?Ipersonallybelievethattheydo,butperhapseverygenerationfeelsexactlythesame．64．Whatisthepurposeofthedirectquestiongiveninthefirstparagraph?A．Toshowwhothepassageiswrittenfor．B．Togatherpeople'sopinionsonchildhood．C．Tocomparethechildhoodlivesoftwogenerations．D．Togetpeople'sattentionandleadinthetopic65．WhichisNOTareasonforthechanges?A．Familiesaresmallertoday．B．Toyscanbeplayedbychildrenaloneathome．C．It'stoodangeroustoplayoutside．D．Parentsworriedtoomuchabouttheirchildren.66．Whathasthewriterfocusedoninthefourthparagraph?A．Somegamesthatyoungpeopleplaytodayaren'treallygoodB．Computerandvideogameshavereplacedtheboardgames．C．Youngpeopletodayshouldn'tplayelectronicgames．D．Boardgamesaremuchmoreinterestingthancomputergames．67．Thewriter'sattitudetowardsthechildhoodchangingis_____．A．approving
