解析:

16.B。外面下雨了,人們都在躲雨,等候雨停。下文母親的話“We’ll wait until...”也給出了提示。從后半句看,一些人耐心,一些人有些惱怒,所以不能說大家都在抱怨。

17.C。別的人惱怒,當然因為大自然的突然降雨打亂了他們正常的工作生活節(jié)奏。

18.D。雨水沖刷走了世界上的塵土和臟物。

19.A。catch me相當于catch my attention,“引起了我的注意力”,因為此前我正沉醉于雨水帶來的感受中。并沒有讓我惱怒,也談不上給我留下了很深的印象。

20.A。slow down指雨下得緩和一點,不能說stop a bit,停止不存在程度上的一點。

21.B。此句話和前面說的話一樣,所以是重復了一遍。

22.A。小孩子想讓母親一起在雨中走,而母親又沒有答應,所以孩子要拉著母親的手往外走。

23.C。從女兒的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母親是問小孩自己是什么時候說那話的。

24.C。如果上帝能讓小孩的父親度過這一難關,則能讓他們度過任何“難關”。

25.B。still一動不動;silent沉默,不出聲。對于小孩的這一天真美好的愿望,大家顯然都事先沒有想到,所以都在沉默,并靜觀下面事情的發(fā)展。

26.A。what引導賓語從句,what在句中充當say的賓語,母親在考慮要和女兒怎么說。

27.B。母親知道,孩子說出的話,在一些人看來肯定會是有點傻的,因為上帝是不存在的,這種愿望只是一種幻想。dishonest不誠實的,欺騙的。孩子的說法是一種美好愿望,當然算不上是欺騙。

28.A。母親不愿破壞孩子的童真,所以表示贊同“你是對的”,是肯定孩子的話就是自己講過的話,而不是說孩子聰明。

29.A。run off跑開。此處強調(diào)off,故把這個詞提前。

30.D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行為已引起了人們的關注,他們都在看著母女倆在雨中跑。

31.A。從定語從句可知,母女的行為也感染了其他的人,又有幾個人也加入她們的行列,在雨中奔跑。follow跟著。

32.B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。這幾個人一邊跑一邊又叫又笑,很興奮。

33.C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父親得癌癥了,所以說境況可以帶走人們的健康。

34.B。從下文“… make memories every day!”可知,自己創(chuàng)造的美好記憶是不會被帶走的。

35.B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住機會做某事,為固定搭配。該句的意思是“抓住創(chuàng)造美好記憶的機會。

They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure.

  Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.

   After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”

   When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”

   I followed my dad’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.

   Of all the jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania. Railway Service that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he’d be gone.

   Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.

What can be inferred about the baggage boys?

   A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

   B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.

   C. They were all from poor families.

   D. They were all thin, young boys.

What does the father’s advice imply?

   A. It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.

   B. Don’t believe them if they are paying you more.

   C. Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers.

   D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.

The writer can’t put up with stealing because he thinks that ___.

   A. it is a totally shared experience

   B. it is considered as the most dangerous

   C. it does great harm to human relationship

   D. it may lead to the loss of his sports team

It can be concluded from the text that ___.

   A. his father’s advice helped him to decide which job to take up

   B. working in the sports team was his most important experience

   C. he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members

   D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his latter life
