语篇定位 这是一篇记叙型完形填空，作者通过描写自己与一位小男孩的偶然相遇以及对他的挂念告知世人：爱是相互的，有付出就有回报。
思路导引 作者通过描写买水果、资助小男孩上学及小男孩回报这三件事，把整篇文章串起来。
答案与解析
1. C 考查语境理解。从后句I jumped into the car and speeded off 可知我格外兴奋，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 ，更精确     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格外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 考查词语辨析及规律推理。双方讨价还价，卖方最终同意买方所出的价钱时，才可能成交，买方也才可能给他钱。
6. A考查语境理解。上句说我递给他一张500奈拉的纸币，但是前文告知我们作者买他的香蕉和花生共需要200奈拉，所以小男孩应当找给作者零钱change。
7. D考查语境理解。依据% 他找不开我的钱，我劝慰他，不让他焦急以及后文的 smiled a row of perfect teeth可以推断小男孩很感谢。
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可知作者应当是宠爱自己的国家（享受眼前的生活）的，但是卖水果的小男孩的患病（支付不起学费）让他感觉不到欢快。
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训练，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也有示意。
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。假如一个人在做某件事情前先四下看一下，说明他紧急担忧，生怕被他人看到。答案为D
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考查行文规律。but引出的句子表示转折，由此我们可以推想作者认为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。短暂的缄默之后，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考查行文规律。作者掏出500奈拉给小男孩，而他却往后退，好像受到了损害似的。
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。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(2021·哈尔滨市质检，D)
As the richest country in the world, you'd expect that Qatar would also be the happiest. And you'd also expect Japanese people to be extremely positive, seeing as though they have the highest life expectancy. But clearly wealth and good health do not guarantee happiness after both countries failed to make the top ten most positive countries.
The poll (民意测验) of nearly 150 000 people around the world found that seven of the world's 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in Latin America. Gallup asked about 1 000 people in each of 148 countries if they were wellrested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment the previous day.
In Panama and Paraguay, 85 percent of those polled said yes to all five, putting those countries at the top of the list. They were followed closely by El Salvador, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Guatemala, the Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
The people least likely to report positive emotions lived in Singapore, the wealthy and orderly citystate that ranks among the most developed in the world. Other wealthy countries also sat surprisingly low on the list. Germany and France tied with the poor African state of Somaliland for 47th place.
Many of the seven countries which were most positive do poorly in traditional measures of wellbeing, like Guatemala, a country torn by decades of civil war followed by waves of gangdriven criminality that give it one of the highest killing rates in the world. Guatemala sits just above Iraq on the United Nations' Human Development Index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capita income. But it ranks seventh in positive emotions.
In Guatemala, it's a culture of friendly people who are always smiling, said Luz Castillo, a 30yearold surfing instructor. Despite all the problems that we're facing, we're surrounded by natural beauty that lets us get away from it all.
The poll shows that prosperous nations can also be deeply unhappy ones. And povertystricken ones are often positive, or at least a close approximation (大约) of it.
文章大意：本文为一篇调查报道。通过对世界各国的民意测验发觉，幸福指数与健康和财宝无关。
12．________ may feel the most unhappy according to the poll.
A．People from Qatar
B．People from Thailand
C．People from Japan
D．People from Singapore
答案：D　细节理解题。依据第四段第一句中的“The people least likely to report positive emotions lived in Singapore”可知，通过民意测验生活在新加坡的人民的幸福指数最低。故答案选D。
13．The underlined word “Gallup” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．a country B．a polling organization
C．a person D．a magazine
答案：B　推理推断题。依据其次段第一、二句可知，这项民意测验调查了世界各地的15万人，发觉幸福指数最高的10个国家中有7个国家位于拉丁美洲，这个民意调查组织调查了148个国家，每个国家测验了大约1千人。因此Gallup应为进行这项民意测验调查的组织机构。故答案选B。
14．Which of the following is not included in the United Nations' Human Development Index?
A．Life expectancy. B．Education.
C．Natural beauty. D．Per capita income.
答案：C　细节理解题。依据倒数第三段倒数其次句“... on the United Nations' Human Development Index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capita income.”可知，这项指数当中不包含C项内容。故答案选C。
15．What's the best title of the text?
A．Happiness does not depend on wealth
B．How to live happily?
C．Health leads to happiness
D．What are the standards to be happy men?
答案：A　标题概括题。通读全文尤其是最终一段内容可知，本文主要对一项民意测验调查进行了报道说明。测验结果表明，幸福与健康和财宝无关。因此，A项适宜作为标题使用。故答案选A。

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”
He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ You’re right,” he said. “ You are a big boy....a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”
Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
1. When his father drove him to the school, Frank would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear because ________.
A. he was ashamed of his father’s old truck
B. he thought he was old enough to go to school alone
C. he didn’t want his schoolmates to see his father
D. he hated the way his schoolmates stared at his father
2. In Frank’s eyes, when his father said “You are a big boy… a man.”, he probably felt ________.
A. disappointed B. hurt C. excited D. proud
3. According to the story we can conclude that Frank’s father ________.
A. was quite confident in his skills in fishing
B. loved his children but hardly expressed it
C. seldom gave up faced with challenges
D. was full of devotion to his family
4. By saying the sentence “I wish I had been a man then…”, Frank meant ________.
A. he was fed up with his father kissing him goodbye
B. he deeply regretted what he had done to his father
C. he was then too young to refuse a goodbye kiss

5. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
