And a boy might find it hard to refuse a girl’s invitation even if he wished to do so. Anyhow, I think we have to get used to the idea of equality in 30 if we have equality in earning. 21.A. makeB. getC. takeD. earn 22.A. dozenB. balanceC. chargeD. share 23.A. turnB. directionC. courseD. change 24.A. expectB. orderC. inquireD. force 25.A. chanceB. workC. moneyD. hope 26.A. lessB. moreC. worseD. better 27.A. affordB. offerC. applyD. take 28.A. heartB. valueC. prideD. anger 29.A. agreedB. refusedC. asked forD. got 30.A. payingB. givingC. takingD. working 第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 Children in British primary schools who are about nine are going to be given a good piece of news.

You hear of family members long ago and by hearing about their stories, you can find timeless wisdom that can apply to your own life. I’ll never forget the story my mom told me about Grandma. Grandma cooked for a crew of 24 farmhands so most of her days were taken up cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a bunch of (一群) loud complaining men coming in from hunting or farming. She took care of five children as well so her house was a busy little place, but where you would find Grandma the most would be in front of her stove, stirring (搅拌) a pot of something. The kids would run in and she’d give them a hug and then she’d go back to stirring. The men would come in and clean up all the biscuits and bacon and then she’d start on the next meal, once again standing and stirring at the stove. They’d tell her how wonderful her food was and then pour out their troubles to her as she listened and stirred. One time Ruth watched as the farmhands ate quickly and went back out to work, hearing all of them grumbling about their lives. Then one by one the children came in to tell Grandma their own worries. She would smile, give them some kind of advice, and keep stirring. Ruth watched sitting at the table and when everyone left she said,“Mother. How can you just sit there and stir? Everyone tells you how bad their life is and you just smile and stir? Why don’t you just tell them that you’ve had enough and you can’t take anymore? Do something … Stop stirring!”Grandma looked up at Ruth and smiled … and kept stirring. (责任编辑：admin) |
