When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad _36_ stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t _37_ it, but I could pray from the _38_ we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or _39_ and go home empty-handed. That corner _40_ either mouth-watering excitement or _41_.
On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the _42_ sound of his offer. It _43_. “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to _44_ today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊). I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some _45_ for odd jobs(零活). But _46_ it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of _47_, I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll _48_.” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to _49_. But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt _50_ for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or _51_ act disappointed.
I _52_ that generosity（慷慨）goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the _53_ ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We _54_ another trip the next week. As we _55_ the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”

小题1:C. 根据文章上句中often 和第二段开头一句中的again可知，我们常停下来买冰淇淋。故选C. frequently。
小题2:A. 根据文章文意可知，我作为孩子，渴望得到冰淇淋。A项expect意为“（心理上的）期待、渴望”。C项wait为不及物动词，意思、语法上均不正确，其它选项意思不符。
小题3:D。根据上下文可知，从我们开始往家赶的“一刻”，我就开始祈祷，希望能得到，故选D。
小题4:C。根据上文“go straight for the ice cream or…”和下文“go home empty-handed”可知，我们或者直接去买冰淇淋，或者空手而回。C项turn意为“转弯、掉头”，正符合文意。
小题5:B。根据文章上下文和常识可知，在这里，我可以得到美味的冰淇淋，所以，这个拐角意味着(meant) 快乐或失望。故B项最佳。
小题6:D。根据 “mouth-watering excitement”和文意，得到冰淇淋我会快乐，否则就是失望。故选D项disappointment。
小题7:D。根据文意，我希望听到父亲主动提出买冰淇淋，对一个孩子来说，这样的声音是“beautiful”（美好的），故选D最佳，其它选项意思不符。
小题8:A。根据文章上文，我期盼的声音终于来了（came），B项最佳。C项spoke的主语应该是人，而其它两项不符合文意。
小题9:B。根据文章结尾处“treat”，父亲这次让我“出钱请客”。注意C项buy不正确，因为，我可以买冰淇淋，但不一定我出钱。其它两项意思不符。
小题10:A。根据文意和“plus”可知，我每个星期除了得到25美分，而且干零活得到“额外”的钱，故选A项。
小题11:C。根据文意，我虽然有足够的钱，但当（when）让我拿来买冰淇淋时，我就舍不得。故选C。其它选项意思不符。
小题12:D。根据下文可以推知，我出于自私（selfishness）而放弃了请客吃冰淇淋的念头，故选D项。
小题13:C。根据文意，我既然不愿请客吃冰淇淋，就只好放弃了。注意pass在此意思是“免掉，不要”。
小题14:A。上文提到I realized how wrong I was，所以我后悔自己的自私，从而央求父亲掉转车头（turn back），故A项最佳。
小题15:B。根据上文父亲的回答可知，他实际上委婉的拒绝了我的恳求，所以我感到awful（懊恼的、糟糕的），故选B项。
小题16:A。根据文意，父亲对我的行为并不介意，甚至（even）没表现出失望。故选A。其它选项不符合文意。
小题17:B。根据文意，我从此事认识到慷慨是双向的。B .learned意思是“认识到、意识到，从……得到教训”，为最佳选项。
小题18:D。根据文意可推知，我在想：如果我当时请客吃了冰淇淋，将是对父亲多年来的回报，也将是我所吃到的最好的冰淇淋。其它选项不符合文意。
小题19:C。go on a trip为词组，意思是“去旅行”。
小题20:D。根据上文可知，我已经做错了一次。当再次出游时，将到拐角处时，我就主动提出请客，approach正符合文意。
