My brother is one of the most 31 people in my life. I may not always act like it, but I look up to him and 32 him. When I think of everything he’s done for me, it’s hard not to 33 him. There are the basic 34 that most older brothers do. You know, they look after you, 35 you with your homework, and let you use their things. But my brother did a lot more for me. He was the one who taught me how to read and how to tie my shoes. He taught me how to hold my 36 underwater. He even taught me how not to touch his things. He also did other big brother stuff (事情). Like shut me in the closet (储藏室), play tricks on me, “forbid (禁止)” me to 37 his things. But for each “mean” thing he did to me, he did about five 38 things. One nice thing he did was that he always let me hang around with him and his friends. Because of that, I have two brothers instead of one. My other “brother” is Chris’s best friend, Corey. They spent a lot of time together when they were younger, and since Chris was nice, I 39 got to do stuff with them. Since Corey was as much my brother as Chris was, of course they both pulled little 40 on me. But I must admit a lot of the tricks 41 because I was a slightly gullible (易受骗的) child. One that 42 comes to mind is when Chris and Corey 43 to make me believe that they were being sucked (吸入) into the ground.

After 46 school at 15, I worked in a fruit shop, but I had no 47 of how to run my own shop back then. Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. Shopkeeping was 48 to us, so we often didn’t know what the 49 were asking for. But we soon learned. We can tell by the weather how 50 the shop is going to be. On wet days there are very few people around, and when it’s 51 people want bread and milk, as they’re worried about being snowed in. When it’s hot, everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream. More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 52 from their order. I’ve kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn’t changed much. Now, as I’m getting older, it’s open from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. on weekdays 53 closing at 8: 30 p. m. However, I keep it open until 2 p. m. at weekends. Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I am 54 getting rid of (处理掉) the shop. I love it all—talking to the customers and getting 55 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day, and we see several generations of families. Customers often tell me their 56 and I offer advice if I can. It was the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the shop on January 13 this year. I wanted to do something 57 , so I held a party and had drinks and nibbles with customers. I also 58 a book about my memories in the shop. It’s called Just Ask Jenny, as I’m always the first port of call when anyone wants to know 59 . This shop has been my life. I never 60 I’d still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. It’s what keeps me going, and I’ve got no plan of retiring (退休). 46.A.attending B.leaving C.visiting D.changing 47.A.choice B.time C.decision D.idea 48.A.good B.new C.experienced D.disappointed 49.A.market B.sellers C.users D.customers 50.A.common B.expensive C.cold D.busy 51.A.snowy B.rainy C.windy D.sunny 52.A.appearing B.coming C.missing D.producing 53.A.as a result of B.because of C.in fear of D.instead of 54.A.always B.never C.seldom D.often 55.A.what B.how C.that D.which 56.A.suggestions B.questions C.problems D.surprises 57.A.traditional B.historical C.changeable D.special 58.A.read B.wrote C.borrowed D.learned 59.A.anything B.everything C.nothing D.nobody 60.A.imagined B.hoped C.felt D.worked E 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Jack sat alone on the bus ride home from school.

If someone were to ask me who influenced me most in my life, I’d tell him or her that it’s my brother, Chris. My brother is one of the most 31 people in my life. I may not always act like it, but I look up to him and 32 him. When I think of everything he’s done for me, it’s hard not to 33 him. There are the basic 34 that most older brothers do. You know, they look after you, 35 you with your homework, and let you use their things. But my brother did a lot more for me. He was the one who taught me how to read and how to tie my shoes. He taught me how to hold my 36 underwater.
He even taught me how not to touch his things. He also did other big brother stuff (事情). Like shut me in the closet (储藏室), play tricks on me, “forbid (禁止)” me to 37 his things. But for each “mean” thing he did to me, he did about five 38 things. One nice thing he did was that he always let me hang around with him and his friends. Because of that, I have two brothers instead of one. My other “brother” is Chris’s best friend, Corey. They spent a lot of time together when they were younger, and since Chris was nice, I 39 got to do stuff with them. Since Corey was as much my brother as Chris was, of course they both pulled little 40 on me. But I must admit a lot of the tricks 41 because I was a slightly gullible (易受骗的) child. One that 42 comes to mind is when Chris and Corey 43 to make me believe that they were being sucked (吸入) into the ground.
I was so 44 about it that I went inside and told Mum that they were being sucked down. As I said, I was a slightly gullible child. Yes. We had some 45 times.

One of my earliest memories is playing “shops” with my granddad when I was 5 years old. After 46 school at 15, I worked in a fruit shop, but I had no 47 of how to run my own shop back then.
Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. Shopkeeping was 48 to us, so we often didn’t know what the 49 were asking for. But we soon learned.
We can tell by the weather how 50 the shop is going to be. On wet days there are very few people around, and when it’s 51 people want bread and milk, as they’re worried about being snowed in. When it’s hot, everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream.
More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 52 from their order. I’ve kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn’t changed much.
Now, as I’m getting older, it’s open from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. on weekdays 53 closing at 8: 30 p. m. However, I keep it open until 2 p. m. at weekends.
Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I am 54 getting rid of (处理掉) the shop. I love it all—talking to the customers and getting 55 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day, and we see several generations of families. Customers often tell me their 56 and I offer advice if I can.
It was the 50th anniversary (周年纪念) of the shop on January 13 this year. I wanted to do something 57 , so I held a party and had drinks and nibbles with customers. I also 58 a book about my memories in the shop. It’s called Just Ask Jenny, as I’m always the first port of call when anyone wants to know 59 .
This shop has been my life. I never 60 I’d still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. It’s what keeps me going, and I’ve got no plan of retiring (退休).
