Looking at his black-striped bananas,I  39   to 200 total for the fruit and nuts.He  40   .I handed him a 500 naira note.He didn’t have  41  .So I told him not to worry.He was  42  and smiled a row of petfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I  43  this same boy, I was more aware of my position in Nigerian soeicty.I should  44   this country as the son of a  45  .But it was hard to find pleasure in a place where it was so  46  to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit.
“What’s up?”I asked. He answered in  47  English, “I…I no get money to buy book. ”I took out two 500 naira notes.He looked around  48   before sticking his hand into the car   49 the bills.One thousand naira means a lot to a family that  50  only 50,000 each year.
The next morning,security officers told me, “In this place,when you give a little,people think you’re a fountain of opportunity(機(jī)會).”
51   it’s right,but this happens everywhere in the world.I wondered if my little friend had actually used the money for  52   .

36.解析:delighted意為“高興的’,常說明人或與人密切相關(guān)的事。作狀語,表示某人做某事時(shí)的心情。根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可以看出,作者對他媽媽說他感到無聊,他媽媽把汽車的鑰匙給他,讓他開車去買一些水果,這是一件令人高興的事,所以作者感到非常高興。encouraged意為“受到鼓舞”。disappointed意為“感到失望”。confused意為“感到混亂的”。都與作者當(dāng)時(shí)的心情不相符合。
37.解析:car意為“汽車”,根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可判斷出男孩看到的是作者的汽車,再從下文的sprang up可判斷出作者開車來到了商店。mother意為“媽媽”。driver意為“駕駛員”。key意為“鑰匙”。這都不是男孩當(dāng)時(shí)看到的內(nèi)容。
38.解析:eager意為“渴望,極想,熱衷于”,多指對成功的期望或進(jìn)取的熱情,帶有更多熱切興奮的情緒,但不含有焦慮擔(dān)心的意味。從男孩看到汽車后的反應(yīng)sprang up可判斷出他熱切的想把水果賣給作者。willing意為“情愿的”,強(qiáng)調(diào)不僅自愿,而且還高高興興,表現(xiàn)出很大熱情。afraid意為“害怕的”,表示做某事時(shí)表示出的恐懼感。ashamed常作表語,意思是“羞恥,慚愧,害臊”,這與所提供的情景sprang up矛盾。
39.解析:bargain意為“討價(jià)還價(jià)”,指在買東西時(shí)與店主講價(jià)錢,力爭把價(jià)格降到最低點(diǎn)。down與bargain連用表示經(jīng)討價(jià)還價(jià)把價(jià)格降到了某一點(diǎn)。根據(jù)下文中的to 200 total for the fruit and nuts可判斷出作者經(jīng)過討價(jià)還價(jià),把價(jià)格降到200奈拉。get down意為“落下,降下;下車;寫下;放下,咽下;使沮喪,使抑郁;開始認(rèn)真對待,開始認(rèn)真考慮”。put down意為“記下”。take down意為“拿下,扯下,降下,卸下;卷起;記下;卸下;拆,拆毀(房子),拆散(頭發(fā)),分開;挫其驕氣;吞下去,咽下去”。
40.解析:agree意為“同意”,表示同意做某事。根據(jù)下文中I handed him a 500 naira [奈拉(尼日利亞貨幣名)]note.可判斷出男孩同意以200奈拉出售自己的水果。explain意為“解釋”,指解釋不了解的事情,說明某事的形狀或結(jié)構(gòu),追溯它的起源和沿革,講述它的性能或功用,指出它的原理或述說它的各部分之間的關(guān)系。promise意為“允諾,答應(yīng)”,指許下諾言將做某事。admit意為“承認(rèn)”,常指由于客觀因素所迫,不得不承認(rèn)某一已經(jīng)證實(shí)的或難以否認(rèn)的事實(shí),有時(shí)也可指在爭論中姑且讓步,含有不情愿的意味。
41.解析:change意為“零錢”,根據(jù)下文中的so I told him not to worry可判斷出男孩沒有零錢。買水果只需要200奈拉,而作者給了他一張500奈拉的票子,所以需要找零錢。note意為“紙幣”,買水果的人沒有紙幣的可能性是沒有的。check意為“支票”,買水果是小本生意,不會使用支票作為付賬方式。bill意為“賬單”。
42.解析:grateful意為“感恩的,感謝的”,指對他人的幫助或恩惠內(nèi)心充滿感激,含有持續(xù)性。由于經(jīng)討價(jià)還價(jià)講好以200奈拉的價(jià)格出售水果,而顧客給了500奈拉,男孩自然會感激萬分。troubled意為“為難的,不安的,困惑的;騷亂的,不寧的”,指因某事引起心煩意亂,忐忑不安的心情。regretful意為“悔恨的,后悔的,惋惜的,有遺憾的,抱歉的”,表示對自己所做的事感到悔恨。comfortable意為“愉快的,安樂的,舒適的;令人感到安慰的”。都沒有正確表達(dá)出男孩當(dāng)時(shí)的心情。
43.解析:run into意為“遇到”,強(qiáng)調(diào)其偶然性,表示并不是故意遇到某人。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可判斷出兩天后作者又遇到了同一個(gè)男孩。run after意為“追趕”。run over意為“溢出;泛出;(人)走近 (to);略一過目,匆匆忙忙看一遍;想想看;概括地講;匆匆排練,急奏(樂譜);(車輛等)輾過(人)”。run to意為“跑向”。
44.解析:enjoy意為“喜歡”,指因某物或某事而在感官或精神上得到樂趣或滿足,側(cè)重于享受感官或心智上的滿足或樂趣。protect意為“保護(hù),包庇,守護(hù)”。根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容可判斷出作者不是這個(gè)國家的保衛(wèi)者。help意為“幫助”,指幫助某人或某個(gè)國家,根據(jù)第一段中的I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after college graduation. I had been there before my mother became a minister.可判斷出作者只不過是部長的兒子,因此不存在幫助這個(gè)國家的問題。support意為“支持”。也與上文的內(nèi)容不相符合。
45.解析:minister意為“部長;閣員,大臣”,根據(jù)上文中的I had been there before my mother became a minister.可判斷出作者是一位部長的兒子。headmaster意為“校長”。manager意為“經(jīng)理”。president意為“總統(tǒng)”。都與上文的內(nèi)容不相符合。
46.解析:common意為“普通的,通常的,尋常的,平常的”,指因許多人或物共同具備而常見,不足為奇。表示看見一個(gè)本來應(yīng)該上學(xué)的孩子買水果是一件非常平常的事。lucky意為“運(yùn)氣好的,僥幸的”,指未經(jīng)努力,完全出于好運(yùn)、偶然的原因或因素而獲得意外的成功或免于受到傷害。amazing意為“令人驚異的”。funny意為“有趣的,好笑的,滑稽的”。
47.解析:broken用于修飾語言時(shí),意為“拙劣的,不合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”,指斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地,很不規(guī)范地說某種語言。從下文中的I … I no get money to buy book.可判斷出男孩的英語說得既斷斷續(xù)續(xù)又不符合英語語法的規(guī)定。old意為“古老的”,old English指很久以前人們說的英語,與modern English相比較。traditional意為“傳統(tǒng)的,慣例的”。modern意為“現(xiàn)代的”,modern English指現(xiàn)在人們說的英語。
48.解析:nervously意為“緊張地”,著重指精神上不安或激動,可能因性格或所處環(huán)境引起,常表現(xiàn)于行為。根據(jù)上文中的內(nèi)容可判斷出男孩在接錢之前緊張地向四面看了看。因?yàn)?,000奈拉對他來說是一筆巨款。proudly意為“驕傲的”。madly意為“瘋狂地,瘋狂似地”。curiously意為“好奇地”。
49.解析:for意為“為了”,表示做某事的目的。for the bills為拿到錢幣而把手伸進(jìn)汽車?yán)。with意為“和……一起,和……一塊兒,和……同時(shí)”。at意為“向,對”,表示動作的目標(biāo)。upon意為“在……之上”。
50.解析:make后接表示“錢”的名詞表示“掙,賺”。從上文中男孩緊張的接過錢幣可判斷出尼日利亞一個(gè)家庭一年才能掙50,000奈拉。spend意為“花費(fèi)”。pay意為“付(款),支付;付(代價(jià)),發(fā)(薪水)”。afford意為“花費(fèi)得起”。
51.解析:possibly意為“可能地;也許”,指在能辦到或達(dá)到的范圍之內(nèi)的可能,也指客觀、潛在的可能,可能性小于maybe和probably,暗示實(shí)際希望不大,但仍有機(jī)會。表示上面所說的話可能是對的。actually意為“實(shí)際上”。certainly意為“的確,無疑,一定,必定”,表示非?隙。fortunately意為“幸運(yùn)地”。
52.解析:book意為“書”,根據(jù)上文中的I … I no get money to buy book.可判斷出作者給男孩錢的目的是想讓他買書,所以他聽了這些話后想知道男孩是否真的把錢花在買書上。joy意為“快樂,高興”。nut意為“堅(jiān)果”,指核桃、榛、栗等的果實(shí)。banana意為“香蕉”。都不符合上文的內(nèi)容。
53.解析:realize意為“領(lǐng)悟,了解,體會”,指作者意識到男孩究竟想要什么。ask意為“問”。imagine意為“想像,設(shè)想;猜想,推測”,指沒有事實(shí)根據(jù)、僅憑主觀想像進(jìn)行猜想,往往與眾所周知的事實(shí)相反。remind意為“提醒;使記起”,常指某人或某物使人想起或回憶起可能已經(jīng)淡忘的情況,也可指以某物或某種方式提醒某人不至于忘記某事。
54.解析:as if意為“好像,似乎”,句子省略了he was。表示當(dāng)作者把500奈拉遞給男孩時(shí),他似乎受到了傷害。when意為“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”。even if意為“盡管”。after意為“在……之后”。
55.解析:give意為“給”,指把東西親手當(dāng)面交給某人。男孩一直等在那兒的目的是把水果給作者。send意為“送”,send多指寄送或通過其他手段送,自己并不一定去送,這與短文提供的情景不相符合。provide意為“提供,供應(yīng)某物”。sell意為“賣”。

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band (樂隊(duì))?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒車), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman's voice came over his  loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
56. The policeman stopped the boys to ______.
A. put them into prison                                    B. give them a ticket
C. enjoy their performance                       D. ask some band questions
