They 2 spend the whole day sitting in the sun and sleeping 3 talking about what they would do when they were 4 . many years went 5 in this way and the two men 6 poor. One summer’s day as they were sitting 7 on a bench in the sunshine, one of the men jumped
8 his feet without warning and exclaimed, “We can’t go on 9 this. We’ve got to do something to 10 some money”
“ 11 for instance?” asked his friend in a 12 voice.
“We’ll go to the mountains and 13 snails(蜗牛),”said the first man.
The second man didn’t want to go out at first. But in the end his friend 14 him. They each took a bucket(桶) and set 15 for the mountains. They walked extremely slow. When they reached the hill, they looked 16 it might have a lot of snails on it. The first man said, “Let’s work 17 . I’ll go up this side with my bucket, and you go up the other side with 18 , we’ll meet at the top”.
They 19 snails all day and in the evening they were on top of the hill. “How many did you get?” asked the first man. “Two,” said the second man. “I 20 got three, but one got away.”

| 1、never…at all构成否定结构,用来加强语气,相当于not…at all.
2、“used to +动词原形”表示过去经常发生的动作;be used to, get used to, become used to表示“习惯”,后应跟名词或v-ing形式。 3、or表示选择。 4、从全文大意,尤其是本段最后一句,可推知答案。 5、go by 意为“(时间)过去”。 6、remained poor构成系表结构,意为“仍然很穷”。虽然appear和prove后也可跟形容词,但句意不通。 7、由下文大意可推知答案。 8、jump to one’s feet意为“跳起来,跃起”。 9、like是介词,like this意为“像这样”。 10、文中讲述的是那两个人想挣钱,并没有反映出他们两人要“抢”“偷”或“兑换”。Make money 意为“挣钱,赚钱”。 11、这是一个省略句,全句的完整形式是What have we got to do for instance. 12、该空考查词义区别:tireless不疲倦的;tiring使人疲倦的;tired疲倦的;tiresome令人疲倦的。 13、去“抓”蜗牛。 14、开头,第二个人不想去捉蜗牛,最后第一个人“说服”了他们一块儿去。 15、set off意为“出发,动身”。 16、look as though=look as if,意为“看来好像。” 17、从下文内容可知道,两个人“分开”干活。 18、本空考查名词性物主代词的用法,yours在此处意为your bucket. 19、hunt=search for,意为 “搜寻”。 20、nearly意为“差不多”,但我们可以知道第二个人只抓到两只蜗牛。

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad?

As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
