11、与解析1. C 考查语境理解。从后句I jumped into the car and speeded off 可知我非常高兴，用 delighted。 2. A考查语境理解。上文提到我开车去买水果，所以当小男孩看到我 ，更确切地说是看到?我?的汽车，他跳了起来。 3. C 考查词语辨析及上下文语境。从上文小男孩的动作可知他非常渴望把香蕉和花生卖给作者，此处用 eager。 4. B考查生活常识。作为买主，在与小商贩打交道时，通常需要砍价。用bargain down讨价还价? 符合语境。 5. C 考查词语辨析及逻辑推理。双方讨价还价，卖方最后同意买方所出的价钱时，才可能成交，买方也才可能给他
12、钱。 6. A考查语境理解。上句说我递给他一张500奈拉的纸币，但是前文告诉我们作者买他的香蕉和花生共需要200奈拉，所以小男孩应该找给作者零钱change。 7. D考查语境理解。根据% 他找不开我的钱，我安慰他，不让他着急以及后文的 smiled a row of perfect teeth可以判断小男孩很感激。 8. B考查固定搭配。句意为：我又与他不期而遇了，四个备选项中只有run into有此意义。 9. B考查语境理解。从第一段提到作者是部长的儿子和第五段的 But it was hard to find pleasure可知作者应该是喜欢自己的国家（享受眼前的生活）的，但是卖水果
13、的小男孩的遭遇（支付不起学费）让他感觉不到快乐。 10. A考查语境理解。上文中提到I had been there before my mother became a minister由此可知答案为A。 11. D考查词语辨析。此处说的是男孩因家庭贫困无法接受教育，为了生计不得不在外卖水果，这种现象很普遍。前面it was hard to find pleasure in a place也有暗示。 12. B 考查词语辨析。从小男孩的答语可知他说话结结巴巴。broken不流利的符 合题意。 13. D考查生活常识。如果一个人在做某件事情前先四下看一下，说明他紧张不安，恐怕被他人看到。答案为D
14、 14. A 考查介词搭配。男孩向车里伸手，其目的就是拿作者给他的钱。for为了得到。 15. C考查词语辨析。一千奈拉对于每年收入仅仅五万奈拉的家庭来说意味着很多。本题所给四个选项中，只有 make有获得，挣得之意。 16. A考查行文逻辑。but引出的句子表示转折，由此我们可以推测作者认为security officers所说的可能是对的。答案为A。 17. C考查语境理解。上文提到小男孩说没钱买书，我资助了他1000奈拉。现在我想知道他是否真的用这些钱买书了。 18. D考查词语辨析。短暂的沉默之后，作者以为小男孩又来要钱，却不好意思开口。用realized意识到符合题意。 19. B考
15、查行文逻辑。作者掏出500奈拉给小男孩，而他却往后退，好像受到了伤害似的。 20. D考查词语辨析。小男孩受过作者的恩惠，想把水果和花生送给作者作为报 答。A项通常指不当面给，所以不能选。答案为D。 2016高考训练（由2014湖南卷A改编）Want to improve your writing skills?
