解读:
一个不服输的孩子,三个月的课外打工生涯,一辆崭新的自行车,讲述了一个感人至深的励志故事。
1.A.cleaned B.covered
C.countedD.checked
[解析] 上文提到他的钱盒空空如也,下一句提到了钱的总数,由此可知他是在仔细“数”床上的硬币。
[答案] C
2.A.amountB.part
C.sumD.rest
[解析] therest表示“其余的”,此处指的是购买那辆自行车所需要的余款。
他手中已经有了一部分钱,由此可排除A、C两项。
[答案] D
3.A.braveB.hard
C.smartD.unfair
[解析] 当与朋友们在一起时,别人都有自行车,唯独自己没有,这是一件很“艰难的”事情。
[答案] B
4.A.pointB.reason
C.resultD.right
[解析] thereisnopointdoingsth.表示“做某事没有意义”,即他的父母也无能为力。
[答案] A
5.A.splitB.spend
C.spareD.save
[解析] 此处spare表示“抽出,匀出”,即他的父母没有多余的钱给他买自行车。
split表示“(使)分离,(使)劈开”,语义不恰当。
6.A.borrowB.earn
C.raiseD.collect
[解析] 上文提到他不能向父母要钱,下一句提到他不得不找一份工作,由此可知他必须自己”挣”钱。
A项表示“借”,C、D两项的意思基本相同,可排除。
7.A.decisionsB.experience
C.opinionsD.knowledge
[解析] 根据本句前半句中提到的advice一词可知Mr.Clay对大部分事情都有自己的“见解”。
8.A.beginningB.introduction
C.requirementD.opening
[解析] 根据上一段中Mr.Clay所说的话可知这是James的零工生涯的“开始”。
opening多用来表示大型活动的开幕,因此不太恰当。
9.A.similarityB.quality
C.suitabilityD.variety
[解析] 根据下一句中的内容可知人们给他提供的工作“各种各样”。
前三项分别表示“相似”,“质量”,“适合”,都不符合语境。
10.A.brandB.number
C.sizeD.type
[解析] 他忘记了自己冲洗过的车辆和清洗过的窗户的“数量”,言外之意是他的打工生涯很辛苦而且很忙碌。
11.A.effortB.pressure
C.moneyD.trouble
[解析] 他打工的目的就是挣钱,从而购买那辆自行车,所以此处用money,表示他的“钱”越来越多。
12.A.gaveB.left
C.tookD.wasted
[解析] 他终于盼来了实现心中梦想的那一天,所以一点时间也没有“浪费”,径直走进那家商店,买下了一直想要的那辆自行车。
13.A.patientlyB.proudly
C.silentlyD.tiredly
[解析] 根据本句及下一句中的内容可知他非常“自豪地”把自行车骑回了家,想让朋友们看看他的新车,这是他通过自己的长时间劳动换来的。
14.A.applyingB.asking
C.lookingD.working
[解析] 他在打工期间做过各种各样的工作,而且三个月中每天都要工作,可见“工作”非常辛苦。
文章中没有提到他申请工作时费尽周折,因此前三项不正确。
15.A.deservedB.benefited
C.achievedD.learned
[解析] 他“做到”了他认为不可能的事情,这甚至比自行车更重要。

第一段表明了全文的主要内容。
[长难句解读] Scienceisadvancingsofastandissostronglyinfluencedbybusinessesthatwearelikelytobelievewhateverdecisionsweetowillmakelittledifference.科学进步如此之快,受商业影响如此之深,让我们有可能认为我们无论做出何种决定都没有什么作用。
本句是so...that的句式结构。

Despitethegeneralagreementamongscientistsonitspossiblehugeimpactontraditionalmoralvalues,somecountriesstillgoaheadwiththeresearchanddevelopmentofitsrelatedtechniques.尽管科学家们普遍认同人类克隆可能会给传统的道德价值观念带来巨大的影响,但有些国家仍然进行与此相关的技术研究及开发。
