Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2014·浙江卷)A city child's summer is spent in the street in front of his home，and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball.I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty，but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it.They were right，of course. I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed.The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark.Then it was the custom of

the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊)that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs.No grown-up ever sat there or attempted to.There the boys would sit，mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one.It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question：but whoever he was，I nod to him gratefully now.“What's in those books you're always reading? ”he asked casually.“Stories，” I answered.“What kind？” asked somebody else without much interest. Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did，for usually I just sat there in silence，glad enough to be allowed to remain among them；but instead of answering his question，I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment.The book was Sister Carrie.They listened bug-eyed and breathless.I must have told it well，but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them so keen an audience.Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments，but I was offering them as well，without being aware of doing it，a new and exciting experience. The books they themselves read were the Rover

Boys

or Tom

Swift

or G．A．Henty.I had read them too，but at thirteen I had long since left them behind.Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys-series.In those days there was no reading material between children's and grown-ups' books，or I could find none.I had gone right from Tom

Swift and His

Flying

Machine

to Theodore Dreiser and Sister

Carrie.Dreiser had hit my young mind，and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it. The next night and many nights thereafter，a kind of unspoken ritual(仪式)took place.As it grew dark，I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening's tale.Some nights，in order to taste my victory more completely，I cheated.I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte，and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.It was not true，of course；but I had to

make certain of my new-found power and position.I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall.Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences，but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store，I have an unreasoning love that will last forever. 【解题导语】

1．Watching the boys playing baseball，the writer must have felt________. A．bitter and lonely C．pleased and excited B．special and different D．disturbed and annoyed 答案

[细节理解题。根据文章首段中提到的I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty，but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it.可知，作者没有被要求去参加，甚至在队员缺失的情况下，故作者应该是感到“孤独和稍许酸楚的”。故A项正确。] 2．The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy________. A．invited him to join in their game B．liked the book that he was reading C．broke the long silence of that summer evening D．offered him an opportunity that changed his life 答案

A．the story was from a children's book B．listening to tales was an age-old practice C．the boys had few entertainments after dark D．the boys didn't read books by themselves 答案

B

[细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Listening to a tale being told in

the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments...可知，听故事是最为古老的娱乐方式的一种，故B项正确。] 4．What is the message conveyed in the story? A．One can find his position in life in his own way. B．Friendship is built upon respect for each other. C．Reading is more important than playing games. D．Adult habits are developed from childhood. 答案

Confidence

Whatever one does，one should do it with confidence.Equipped with confidence，we can deal with any challenges and difficulties until we succeed. When I entered Senior 3，I found myself faced with difficulty in learning English.As a consequence I began to feel frustrated，losing confidence in myself.It was

at this moment that my parents encouraged me，and my teachers gave me some valuable advice on my studies，telling me to be confident.With their help，I regained my confidence and began to make steady progress. As the saying goes，where there's a will，there's a way.If we are to make a difference，we should build up our confidence. Ⅲ.句式背练

1．Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did，for usually I just sat there in silence. 我也不知道是什么驱使我有如此的表现，因为我通常默默地坐在那里。

2．I must have told it well，but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them so keen an audience.(译成汉语) _________________________________________________________________ 答案

我一定是把这个故事讲得很好，但我认为还有更深层次的原因让他们甘愿做听众。

Ⅳ.难句研练

1．A city child's summer is spent in the street in front of his home，and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. [分析]这是一个并列句，而后一分句又是一个and连接的并列句。

[翻译]城市孩子的夏天是在家前面的街道里度过的，整个漫长的暑假我坐在大街边上，羡慕地看着街区的其他男孩打棒球。

2．Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments，but I was offering them as well，without being aware of doing it，a new and exciting experience. [分析]本句中的主语是动名词短语Listening to a tale being told in the dark，其中的being told in the dark修饰名词tale，后面主句中的介词短语without being aware of doing it是一个伴随状语。

[翻译]在黑暗里听故事是一个古老的娱乐形式，但是在他们没有意识到的情况下，我给了他们一次新的令人兴奋的经历。
