　　The Pecan Thief

　　When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas.

　　Grandpa had sent me into the

　　__36__

　　to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.

　　Pecan picking was really

　　__37__

　　work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn't about to

　　__38__ Grandpa down. Just then something caught my

　　__39__.

　　A large brown squirrel was a few feet away.

　　I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and

　　__40__

　　in a large hole in the trunk.

　　A moment later the squirrel

　　__41__

　　out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut.

　　Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.

　　Not so

　　__42__

　　anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole.

　　It was

　　__43__

　　with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my

　　__44__. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so

　　__45__

　　of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.

　　__46__， I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans！” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many？” I told him how I'd

　　__47__

　　the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.

　　Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that __48__

　　me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently

　　__49__

　　my shoulders.

　　“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter

　　__50__ of food，” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will

　　__51__

　　the cold winter？”

　　“I didn't think about that，” I said.

　　“I know，” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take

　　__52__

　　of someone else's hard work.”

　　Suddenly I felt a bit

　　__53__. The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't

　　__54__

　　my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

　　I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the

　　__55__

　　of knowing I had done just the right thing.

　　26答案与解析：C　句意：——我要问老师定语从句的问题。我对它感到很困惑。——那也是大部分同学有疑问的地方。where引导的是表语从句，have doubt on/about“怀疑……”，doubt后无介词，所以用where。

　　答案与解析：A　within“在……里；在……之内”，后常接表示某个特定范围的名词。within a month“在一个月内”。

　　答案与解析： C　句意为：我专程来向你道谢，如果没有你，我们一定做不了这件事。should have done表示“本应该做某事而没有做”，needn't have done意为“本不必做某事”，放在此处都不符合句意；B项must表推测时不能用于否定句。couldn't have done意为“过去不可能做……”。

　　答案与解析：C　句意：在世界上很多国家，早餐是小吃而不是一顿饭，但是传统的英国早餐是一顿正餐。rather than“而不是”，符合句意。other than“不同于；除了”；more than“不仅仅；超过”；less than“不如；少于”。

　　答案与解析：C　句意：这个国家在军队上的投入超过教育和健康投入的总和，这一事实很严重也很令人担忧。that引导同位语从句，具体解释说明fact的内容。

　　答案与解析：B　句意：晚会很有趣，你本该来，但为什么没来？根据句意可知“应该做，但没做”，故用ought to/should have done形式。

　　答案与解析：B　句意：我不明白你一个月怎么花掉这么多钱，我要你向我说明你所花掉的每一笔钱的用途。account for“解释；说明”，符合句意。make out“弄清楚；辨认出来”；describe“描写；描述”；record“记录”。

　　答案与解析：C　句意：他们一开始决定执行这个计划，但后来我们说服他们改变了主意。were able to表经过一番努力，成功地做成某事，相当于managed to do sth.; could只表过去一般性的能力。

　　答案与解析：C　句意：这甚至使科学家们也困惑了，他们不知道叫这个看起来一半像人一半像动物的新生动物什么。it是形式主语，此空引导主语从句，并在从句中作宾补，故选what。call sb. sth.为惯用词组。

　　答案与解析：A　句意：——碰上你在家，我很高兴，我需要你的帮助。——怎么了，罗宾？what's up“怎么了”，符合句意。what else“还有什么”；how come“怎么会……”；why not“为什么不呢”。

　　答案与解析：

　　36．B　从上下文知，我被爷爷派去捡山核桃，再结合第一句中的“farm”和选项可知我应该到树林(woods)里去，而不是房间(room)，洞里(hole)和路上(road)。

　　37．A　从后面的我才捡半篮山核桃可知，捡山核桃对我来说是一项挺困难的(hard)活，其他选项都不符合语境。

　　38．A　从下文知，我不想让爷爷失望，此处let sb. down是固定词组，意为“令某人失望”。

　　39．C　就在此时，不远处的一只棕色大松鼠引起了我的注意。catch one's eye表示“引起某人的注意”。

　　40．D　那只松鼠捡起一颗山核桃向一棵树跑去，最后消失(disappear)在树干的大洞中。该句中的三个动作表承接：先pick up，然后hurry to，最后disappear。join“加入”，live“生存”，discover“发现”都不符合语境。

　　41．A　该处表示：不久，那只松鼠又从洞中跳了出来(jump out)，故选A项。hold out“伸出，坚持”；stand out“突出”；find out“发现”都不符合语境。

　　42．B　从后文中dashed over to the tree可知，作者认为松鼠捡山核桃不再是秘密了。

　　43．B　我发现洞中到处都是山核桃，be filled with是固定词组，意为“充满着”，符合语境；be covered with“覆盖”；be decorated with“用……装饰”。

　　44．C　当看到洞中有这么多的山核桃，作者认为自己的机会来了。

　　45．D　作者拿了这么多的山核桃，心里非常高兴，当然很骄傲。be proud of“自豪，高兴”，符合语境。be afraid of表示“害怕，担忧”；be ashamed of表示“感到羞愧”；be careful of表示“小心”。
