17.My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local store.I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these clerks have.They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks,Charlie,was always wearing his glasses but he didn't one day.I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair.His family needed money.It was clear that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him,so we turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan.We had his secretary contact him,asking him to come in for an eye exam for free.We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them.Although Charlie questioned what was going on,the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses.When we went in to pay the bill,the doctor told us he was touched by our idea so that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about.I'm sure that upon hearing his story,ideas of kindness may have come in the minds of many people.

24.Why didn't the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?C
A.It was very warm and fine.
B.His glasses were missing.
C.His old glasses were broken.
D.He forgot to wear his glasses.
25.From the passage,we can infer thatD.
A.Charlie was a young man with skills
B.Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C.Charlie completely accepted the money for the new glasses
D.Charlie couldn't support his family with enough money
26.The underlined word"waived"in the third paragraph can be replaced byB.
A.took up         B.gave up    
C.cut down        D.put off
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A
A.Customers'Gift to an Employee
B.A Friendly Clerk-Charlie
C.The Wonderful Feeling of Helping others
D.An Expensive Pair of Glasses.

分析 文章讲述了我是商店的老顾客,同情关心店员们的生活,帮助一名员工解决生活困难给他配了一副眼镜的故事.

解答 24.C细节推理题.根据第二段I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair.可知Charlie的眼镜坏了,又买不起新的所以就没戴眼镜.故选C.
25.D推理判断题.根据第二段that he couldn't afford a new pair.His family needed money.It was clearthat he was having a difficult time.可知Charlie挣钱少家里需要钱,他没有足够的钱养家,故选D.
26.B猜测词意题.此处指医生被我们的举动所感动,于是没有要检查费,眼镜也只收了半价.waive是动词"放弃",与B项同义,故选B.
27.A主旨大意题.文章讲述了我是商店的老顾客,同情关心店员们的生活,帮助一名员工解决生活困难给他配了一副眼镜的故事.A项"顾客送给店员的礼物"既能概括全文意思又能吸引读者,适合作为文章的标题,故选A.

10.Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C.I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street,my mind was flooded by memories of the past.I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played.As I viewed these once familiar surroundings,images of myself as a child there came to mind.However,what I saw and what I remembered were not the same.I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
    My old apartment building,as I remember,was bright and alive.It was more than just a place to live.It was a movie house,a space station,or whatever my young mind could imagine.I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement.This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark,and there were so many things there to hide among.There was a small river in the back of the building.We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However,what I saw was completely different.The apartment building was now in disrepair.What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in.The windows were all broken.The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks.The river was hardly recognizable.The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead.The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible.It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood.However,I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same.I suppose it is true when they say,"You can never go home again."

Nowadays,the computer technology develops very fast that the Internet has become more and more popular.Some students regarded it as a great helper.Because there has a lot of information on line,so you can surf the Internet for any information you need in a short time without working hard in the library.This is also very convenient to talk with others by using the Internet.Moreover,other students think that there is some information on line which is not good for students.In addition,spend too much time playing games will not only have a bad effect on their studies but also do harm for health.Therefore,we should make properly use of the Internet.It is of great important to separate good plants from wild weeds.
