Question

“How good these will be with my bread and butter!” George thought. He at once began to _______all the strawberries he could find, then sat down by the river, ready to enjoy them.

Just then as he was lifting the  __________  strawberry to his mouth, he thought of his mother.

“Shall I  _________  them for her?” He imagined how much they would make her happy, yet still looking at them with longing (渴望的) eyes.

“I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. Then he divided the strawberries into two. But he found each half looked too small, so he put them together again.

“I will only taste one.” Then he took the biggest one, but soon put it back. Finally, he carefully_________ them with leaves, deciding to keep them all  _________  his mother.

When the sun was beginning to go down, George went home.  __________ happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother! The  __________ he came to his home, the less he wished to taste them. As soon as he arrived , he ran to his mother and happily offered his wild strawberries. Tears in eyes, she put her hand on his head and said  _________ : “And you kept them for me, did you? God will bless you for all this, my child.”

1.

句意：在七月的一个晴朗的早晨。

morning上午；noon 中午；afternoon 下午；night晚上。根据下文“After working hard for half a day, he looked around for a cool place to rest and eat his lunch.”工作了半天后准备吃午饭，可知是早晨开始工作的，故选A。

2.

句意：他被要求去捡一些木头。

set up建立；pick up捡起、拾起；put up张贴；give up放弃。根据句意结合选项可知，这里指的是去捡木头，故选B。

3.

句意：他马上开始采集这些草莓。

buy 买；grow成长；make 制作；collect采集。上文讲到“Suddenly some fine red wild strawberries caught his eye…George thought. ”他发现了一些草莓，并想和中餐一起吃，结合语境可知，此处是采摘草莓，结合选项，故选D。

4.

句意：就在他刚开始拿起第一颗草莓放到嘴里时，他想到了他的母亲。

first首先；last 最后；other 其他的；next下一个。根据“ready to enjoy them”准备享用他们，可知，此处指的是：他刚要把第一个草莓放到嘴里，就想起了他的母亲。故选A。

5.

句意：我应该把它们留给她吗？

cut切割；buy买；sell卖；save保存。根据下文回到家后，他母亲说的话中“And you kept them for me, did you? ”你是为我保留的吗？可知，此处应该是保留；保存。结合选项，故选D。

6.

句意：最后她很小心的把它们用树叶包好。

showed展示；locked锁上；covered覆盖；washed洗。根据“with some leaves” 用一些树叶，可推断，此处是用树叶把草莓包了起来。结合选项，故选C。

7.

句意：并决定为把所有的都为他妈妈留着。

to 到；from.来自；for为；on在……上面。keep sth. for sb.为某人保留某物，固定短语，故选C。

8.

句意：他是感到那么的高兴，他把所有的草莓都为他生病的妈妈留着。

What什么；How如何；Why为什么；Whether是否。分析句子可知，该句是个感叹句，故排除C、D；根据“happy”可知此处需要副词how来修饰，故选B。

9.

句意：他离家越近，他就越不想品尝这些草莓。

nearer更近；father更远；longer更长；later更晚。根据“he came to his home”和“As soon as he arrived”可推断，此处是他离家越近，结合语境，故选A。

10.

句意：眼里含着泪水，她将手放在他的头上亲切地说。

angrily生气地；lovingly亲切地；worriedly担忧地；politely 礼貌地。这里讲到妈妈看到草莓的神情，“Tears in eyes”可推断，母亲被感动了，所以是亲切地抚摸着他的头说，结合选项，故选B。
