Question

The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a   25  : We will hide his shoes, and 26   ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his   27  when he cannot find them.”

“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never   28   ourselves at the   29   of the poor. But you are   30  , and may give yourself a much greater   31  by means of the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and   32   how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came   33  the field to the path   34   he had left his coat and shoes. While   35  his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling   36 , he stopped down to feel   37  it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his face.

【解析】

1.考查动词。这个教授被称为学生的朋友。

2.考查副词。 这里用go on表示“当他们向前走着的时候”。

3.考查名词。 从下文“we will hide his shoes”可知，他们走着走着，在小路上发现了一双破旧的鞋子。

4.考查名词。 从语境的逻辑关系看，农民将鞋子放在路边，然后赤脚到田里劳动，因此选A项。

5.考查名词。 从下文可知，这个学生建议教授和这个农民开一个玩笑(捉弄这个农民)，把他的鞋子藏起来。play a trick“捉弄”。make和joke搭配，构成make a joke“开玩笑”。

6.考查动词。这里用hide oneself＋地点状语表示“躲藏在某地”，然后我们在灌木丛后面藏起来。

7.考查名词。 农民在田里劳作完毕后，找不到自己的鞋子，自然是感到“焦虑/着急”，而不是“兴奋、悲伤、失望”。

8.考查动词。 从学生的提议看，这个学生是想拿农民当乐子，因此选C项，表示我们不能这样来寻开心。

9.考查名词。 教授告诫学生，我们不能拿穷人来寻开心。这里用at the expense of表示“以……为代价”。

10.考查形容词。 从后面教授的建议可知选D项，既然你有钱，那么就该用有钱的方式来开这个玩笑。

11.考查名词。 这里用pleasure与前面的amuse呼应，教授建议学生用另外一种方式和这个农民开玩笑，并且这个玩笑会让人觉得更有乐趣。

12.考查动词。从语境看，这师生二人是要看生活的乐趣，而且是躲到灌木丛后面观看，因此选B项，用watch表示“观察”。notice多指无意间看见；realize“意识到”；find“发现，找到”。每只鞋里放一枚硬币，然后我们藏起来，用这样的方式来看看，当这个农民发现自己的鞋子里有硬币的时候，这一发现对他有什么影响。

13.考查介词。 这里用across指“从……一边到另一边，横过”：农民完成了田里的劳作，穿过田地来到小路上。

14.考查连词。 这里用where引导定语从句表地点：这个农民来到他当初放鞋子和衣服的小路上。

15.考查动词短语。 这里表示农民穿上衣服，强调动作，用putting on。wear指穿着的状态，不接on；dress up“装扮”；pull in“进站停靠”。

16.考查形容词。 这个农民一边穿衣服，一边把脚放进鞋子里，突然感觉到鞋子里有硬邦邦的东西(前面提到的硬币)。

17.考查连词。 于是，农民弯下腰去摸，看鞋子里是什么，此处应用what引导宾语从句。

18.考查名词。 前面提到这个农民在发现一只鞋子里的硬币时觉得惊讶(Astonishment and wonder)，因此本题不难判断选C项。

19.考查动词。 农民跪倒在地，看着天，很虔诚地感谢上帝，并且说到他家的窘境：老婆生病了，孩子们没有面包吃。

20.考查动词。 听到农民说的这番话，学生被深深打动了，眼中噙满热泪。
