8、ich BpoorChealthy Dwell()20.A.proud BsatisfiedCunhappy Dhappy【解题导语】本文是记叙文。文章叙述了Jack Baines靠自己努力奋斗成为百万富翁的故事。1A他父亲在纱厂有一份“工作”(job)。work是不可数名词。2C根据下文“身体健康状况不好”可推知，是“不能”(unable)上班。3D因为父亲经常不上班，所以家里付不起租金。afford意为“有足够的钱做某事；能够负担得起”。4B由于家庭贫穷，付不起账单和租金等，所以孩子们经常挨“饿”(hungry)。5B杰克毕业后正“不知道”(wonder)干什么时，有人帮助了他。6C老师借
9、钱给他，从下文可知他利用这笔钱开始了自己的“事业”(business)。7C根据上下文可知他在废弃金属中看到了希望，看到了“未来”(future)。8D他卖掉废弃金属，“挣”(earn)了许多钱。9AJack “喜欢”(enjoy)努力工作，能吃苦耐劳。10C一年后他“还了”(repay)老师借给他的100英镑。11B30岁时，他挣了第一个100万。make有“达到，完成”的意思。12C他想“庆祝”(celebrate)这次成功。13D根据下文他为自己及父母盖了一栋大楼可知，应是比较重大的事情。grand意为“重要的，重大的；豪华的”，符合题意。14B用他全部的钱，为家人建个好房子是“可行”(
10、possible)的。15D此句是说城堡的位置。in the heart of意为“在中心”。16CJack卖掉了自己的豪宅是“因为”(because)过不惯奢华的生活，前后句为因果关系，故用because。17C他仍然不习惯过优越的生活(live a good life)。get used to意为“习惯于”。spare ones life表示“饶某人的命”，用于此处不合文意。18A从频率上说，只有often才能体现出一个人的习惯。19B根据本文首段可知他小时候家里很“穷”(poor)。20C虽然家里穷，但是过得很幸福。因为前面有never，故此处用unhappy。 .语法填空(共10小题；

15、背后必要付出努力和汗水。1there考查there be句型用法。横线后有exist作谓语，此句又表达差别的存在，故填there。2for 考查介词。固定短语：excuse for作为的借口，填for。3us考查代词。we的宾格为us，for后面接宾格us，故填us。4more考查比较级。此处应填much的比较级more，表示给予我们更多。故填more。5before考查介词。根据句意：压力让我们在进入社会之前学到了竞争的意义，故填before。6teaches考查动词。It作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，填teaches。7reality考查名词。空中应用名词作主语，real的名词形式为
16、reality。故填reality。8waiting考查时态。此句is是系动词，由always可知，用现在进行时形式，故填waiting。9to take考查非谓语动词。这里用不定式to作目的状语，故填to take。10mainly考查副词。修饰动词complain用副词形式，故填mainly。.读后续写(满分25分)阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。The event that stands out in Toms memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.

At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud， but he soon realized this time it was different. “Quick！ Quick！ Remove the motorcycles from the s

The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.Jane， who had been playing the violin in her room， hurried to the li
19、ving room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing， but he followed her. Jane had
20、 suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them， who they called Makick. Jane began banging on Makciks door， but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them， Tom could see many of their neighborssome still in their pyjamasrunning for safety. The thought of fear crossed his
21、 mind. “She would have run for safety like everyone else！” cried Tom. However， Jane refused to give up. “I know Makciks still inside.” She said.

23、higher. Frozen with fear， he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Janes hand tightly. Both of them were coughing and their eyes were singing. Time seemed to stand still， though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run t
24、o safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying. Paragraph 2：Luckily， some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and
25、anxiety in Janes mind. She told them Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough， Makcik was lying in bed， unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to hospital， where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom were very happy.
