One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16 I liked  better than driv

问题补充:

One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16,I liked better than driving our truck, this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊账) at the store.

Sixteen is a age,when a young man wants respect,not charity. It was 1976,and the ugly of racial discrimination was a fact of life. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand,head down,while the store owner whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.

My family was .We paid our debts. But before harvest,cash was short. Would the store owner us?

At Davis’s store,Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk,talking to a farmer. I nodded I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my to the cash desk,I said ,“I need to put this on credit.”

The farmer gave me an amused,distrustful .But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said .“Your daddy is good for it.” He to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”

The farmer nodded in a neighborly .I was filled with pride. James Williams’s son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.

That day I discovered that the good name my parents had brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself much to do wrong.

答案:

(答案→)B

解析:文章大意:本文讲述了16岁时那年,“我”遵父亲之命到商店买电线时所亲身体验的一件事情。作为黑人的我深深地感到社会上存在着种族歧视现象,因为我曾目睹我的朋友在赊账时受到老板的冷眼相待,但幸运的是,老板却爽快地答应了,因为我是JamesWilliams的儿子。那件事使我明白了:正是父母的诚实、正直才赢得了老板和邻居们的尊敬。

【小题1】B。逻辑推理题。根据下文“_37_thistimeIwasnothappy.”可知,作者平常很喜欢开车。nothingbetterthan意思为“没有什么能比得上”,比较级表示最高级的含义。本句的意思为“十六岁的我最喜欢开车”。比较级表示最高级含义的例句:Wecouldn havehadworsenews.我们不可能有更坏的消息了。Howbeautifulshesings!Ihaveneverheardabettervoice.她唱得多好听!我从来未听过这么美妙的嗓音。

【小题2】C。逻辑推理题。上文中“liked”与“nothappy”构成转折关系连词要用but。

【小题3】A。形容词词义辨析。本句是由when引导的非限制性定语从句对先行词a_3_age进一步补充说明。因此,此处所填的形容词应与“whenayoungmanwantsrespectnotcharity”所表达的意思相同。prideful“自豪的、傲慢的”,符合题意。这也与下文中的“Iwasfilledwithpride”相吻合。选项C的干扰性很大respectful意思为“尊重的,尊敬的(向别人)表示尊敬的(feelingorshowingrespect)”.

【小题4】B。考察背景知识与名词含义。racialdiscrimination:种族歧视,由此可知故事应发生在美国。20世纪60年代,在马丁.路德金领导了民权运动(TheCivilRightsMovement)之后,黑人的权益逐渐改善,但种族歧视的残余依然存在。由下一句可知:黑人依然受歧视,也就是种族歧视的可怕的阴影(或残余)仍然是黑人必须面对的事实。shadow的意思为“阴影,阴暗面;影响。”intention:目的;shadow:阴影;habit:习惯;faith:信任。

【小题5】C。副词词义辨析题。本题结合4题选择still“仍然”,表示“丑恶的种族歧视阴影依然在现实生活中存在”。just:刚刚、恰好;ever:曾经;thus:因此。

【小题6】C。动词词义辨析题。guess认为,猜想;figure料想,估计,后接that从句,不接whether从句。而question意思为“怀疑,对??产生质疑”,后接whether从句。B项suspect的干扰性很强。suspect表示怀疑(不相信某事存在或属实),或觉得(尤指坏事)可能是事实,后接that从句,一般不接whether从句,要注意其用法。question:做动词,表示提问、询问;对.....提出疑问、怀疑,对某事物表示或感到怀疑,可接whether开头的宾语从句。C项与句意符合:而店主怀疑他们是否可信。

【小题7】A。动词词义辨析题。本句意思为:每次象我一样的黑种人来商店的时候,店员总是把他们当作小偷似的暗中监视。watch表示“暗中监视某人。”注意accuse表示“指责,控告”,不合题意。dismiss:开除。

【小题8】B.形容词词义辨析题。根据下文“Wepaidourdebts.Butbeforeharvest,cashwasshort.”和文章的最后一句“adecentpersonwhokepthiswordandrespectathimself”可知答案为honest。注意D项modest意思为“谦虚的”。

【小题9】D.动词词义辨析题。由上文可知,在“我”的心目中黑人经常受歧视,此处表示:缺少现金,老板是否赊账给我们,是否信任我们。trust“信任”。blame:指责;charge:控诉;excuse:原谅。

【小题10】B.连词词义辨析题。分析动词nodded和passed之间的关系可知两动作同时发生,连词as表示“当??时候”,引导时间状语从句。once:一旦;until:直到。

【小题11】A.名词词义辨析题。由首句“Onesummerdaymyfathersentmetobuywireforourfarm”可知,我去商店买电线,名词purchases意思为“购买之物”,这里指wire。C项orders意思为“预定的货物”,不合题意。favorite:最喜爱的东西。

【小题12】D。副词词义辨析题。因为没有现金,“我”当时年轻爱面子,很担心,害怕老板不赊账,故“我”小心翼翼地对老板说。casually:随意地;confidently:自信地;cheerfully:高兴地。

【小题13】A.动词短语辨析题。由下一句“ButBuck’sfacedidn’tchange.”可知选A项look,此处表示表情、神色、眼神。本句的意思为“那个农民以戏弄的、不相信的眼光看着我,然而巴克面不改色”。givesbalook:看某人一眼;givesbastare:瞪某人一眼;response反应;与make搭配,不与give搭配。comment:评价,做评论是makeacomment,不是giveacomment。

【小题14】C。副词感情色彩辨析题。由下文可知,店主的态度与农民形成对比,关键词是But。从店主的话可知,“我”的父亲很讲诚信,总是能够偿还赊账。easily这里意思为“轻易地,轻松地,安然地”。用此词最能反映出老板不假思索,毫无疑问地同意给“我”赊账。patiently:耐心地;eagerly:热心地、急切地;proudly:骄傲地。

【小题15】D.副词词义辨析题。本句意思为:老板答应爽快,他知道Williams一家向来是诚实守信的,按时偿还赊账。

【小题16】C。动词短语辨析题。老板与“我”对话之后又转向那个农民,turnto意思为“转向”。pointto:指向。replyto:回答。introduceto:将某人介绍给另一个人。从下一句的内容:“这是詹姆斯.威廉斯的一个儿子。”可判断店主是在跟身边的那位农民说话。所以在说话之前店主应转向农民。

【小题17】B.介词短语辨析题。由上文可知,这时那个农民对“我”的态度由起先amuseddistrustful转变为neighborly(友好的)。inaneighborlyway:一种友好的方式。inasense:在某种意义上。toadegree:达到某种程度。inthemoodfor(doing)sth/todosth:有做某事的想法。

【小题18】A.name表示名声、名气。Myfamilyhadearned是定语从句修饰先行词name,省去了关系代词that或which.。earnthegoodname表示蠃得名声。注意B项的干扰性,deserve意思为“应受,值得(荣誉、惩罚、奖励等)”,与句意不符。earn:赢得。

【小题19】B。动词词义辨析题。表示人们从Williams家族身上所期待的,expect意思为“期待”。receivefrom:收到某人的来信。collect:收集。require:要求。

【小题20】D。本题考查对too?to结构的理解。本句的意思为:人人都知道Williams家族是诚实守信,自尊自重,以至不会做错事的正派家族。
