　　For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.

　　But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins，Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

　　Money was tight，as well as time.Often when my children were little，one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say，“Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”

　　Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.

　　I wasn't sure，though.I mean，gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean，no-frills budget.

　　Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly，I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree，planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow，because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn't believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard!

　　I went outside to look.It was true！There were dollar bills，one hundred of them，taped all over that tree.Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached：“IOU eight hours of digging time.Love，Marvin.”

　　Marvin kept his promise，too.He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架)，a sunflower stepping stone and gard

　　ening books.

　　That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me.

　　I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula，where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers. I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes－every time.

　　I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!

　　31．By saying “Do you see a money tree outside…”the mother actually means “________”．

　　A．Observation is the best teacher

　　B．Seeing is believing

　　C．The outsider sees the most of the game

　　D．It is not easy to gain money

　　32．The best title for the passage would probably be________.

　　A．My flower garden

　　B．Marvin helps to realize my dream

　　C．Love in Michigan

　　D．Money grows on trees

　　33．The underlined word “no-frills”in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to________.

　　A．wasteful

　　B．tight

　　C．absurd

　　D．helpful

　　34．From the passage we can infer that the mother is________.

　　A．divorced when she was young

　　B．not caring for her kids any longer

　　C．alone but not at all lonely

　　D．prouder with her garden than with her kids

　　B

　　Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict(冲突)．It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side.In the end，they fell apart.

　　One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work.The elder brother said，“I just have a job for you.Look at that farm across the creek(河沟). My younger brother lives there.It was he who used his bulldozer(推土机)to dig the creek last week to spite(刁难)me.So I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said，“I see.I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.

　　At sunset when the farmer returned，the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all！Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching.The brothers stood at each end of the bridge，and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days.I've a lot of other work for you，”said the elder brother.“I'd love to stay on，” the carpenter said，“but I have so many more bridges to build.”

　　答案

　　课时作业(二十三)

　　Ⅰ.1.D　考查动词搭配。be exposed to意为“被暴露在……”。句意为：尽管学生所见的比上代人多，但他们所知道的却更少，表现得也较不成熟。

　　2．B　考查固定搭配。be in the possession of sb.被某人拥有； value用作动词， 当 “估价”讲， 后接“介词at＋金钱”， 意思为 “估价为……”。

　　3．D　考查动词辨析。distribute意为“分发，分配，分送”；advocate倡导；separate分离；divide分开。句意：救援机构将给几个国家发放食物。

　　4．B　考查possession和charge的用法。A和C的逻辑主语是人，分别表示“某人占有”和“某人负责(某事)”，含有主动意义；而B和D的逻辑主语是物，分别表示“被某人所占有”和“由某人负责”，具有被动意义。本句的意思是：这所房子以前是我的财产，现在归一位老太太拥有。应该选B。

　　5．D　考查动词短语辨析。hand in表示“上交”；hand on表示“把……传下去”；hand out表示“分发”；hand over表示“移交”。根据语境，应该是“移交钥匙”，故应选D。

　　6．C　考查动词的时态。by the time引导时间状语从句，意为“到……时为止”。其主句的谓语动词如果是延续性动词，多用完成时。因从句的时态是过去时，所以主句用过去完成时。

　　7．C　动名词短语作主语， 答语后面省略了made Celia so happy。

　　8．C　句意为：房子漏水了，你什么时候让人修？此题用get sth. done结构，表示“使某事被做(让别人做)”。

　　9．B　第一个空用that引导定语从句修饰先行词something；第二个空用that与句首的Was it…构成强调句型。

　　10．B　考查时态。由句意知，Tina现在已走，刚才在这里等你，因此用一般过去时。

　　Ⅱ.本文叙述作者3岁的小女儿用她妈妈的化妆品想把自己打扮成一个小天使的故事，阐释家长应该如何教育孩子的道理。

　　11．C　根据后面的 to be having a good time 这个不定式的进行时只有 appear 和 pretend 这两个词能使用，再根据上下语境是“看起来”玩得很开心，而不是“假装”。

　　12．B　根据后面的“喊”和“没有回声”来判断答案，quiet是“寂静、没有声音”之意，而不能选calm(沉着、冷静)。

　　13．D　因为作者喊他女儿，没有听到应声，所以又“重复”了他的问题。

　　14．A　从前面的动作，“起身、跑出书房”，接着“进入”起居室。into是动态介词，此处相当于and went into。

　　15．B　从前面的动词 follow, watch 以及 as her little behind 判断，他女儿看到他，赶紧“拐入”洗澡间。

　　16．C　此处 corner 用作动词，表示“把……难住、走投无路”，此处指堵住去路。

　　17．D　根据下一句的意思，他女儿没有听他的话，选D。

　　18．A　因为她是一个三岁的小女孩，她用她妈妈的唇膏打扮自己，怕爸爸骂她，所以“慢慢地”转到她爸爸跟前。

　　19．D　表示满脸都被唇膏“覆盖(涂)”。

　　20．A　正在作者准备训斥自己的女儿的时候，他想起了自己小的时候被训斥的话语，每一句话都似乎回想在耳际。every表示“每一个，每一句”。

　　21．A　根据前面的 many times 来判断，作者被训斥了很多次了，即“告诉过你多少次了”。

　　22．D　对于作者来说，按照传统的做法，现在对待自己的女儿，好像就是挑选一下已经被说过很多遍的“老话”而已。

　　23．D　根据前后两个动作的顺序，在放松“之前”，我看了看她毛衣上的“字”。

　　24．B　根据其后的动作back up into her tearful eyes，所以此时的动作就应该是look down，即“往下看”。

　　25．B　后面的 I'M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL! 这些都是大写的“字母”。
