【答案解析】
1. B细节理解题。题干问作者如何开展这篇文章,可定位篇章中第一段，可知作者在第一段描述了

小时候跟着父亲去买电线的自我经历，故选B。
2. C主旨大意题。快速浏览首段和尾段以及各段的首句，第二句或尾句。锁定文章最后一段，可
知本文通过描述了一段自己的经历：小时候因为父亲平时的好名声顺利地在店家那儿赊了账，赢

得了乡亲父老的尊重。故选C。
3. B句意猜测题。找到题干所问句子在文中的位置，锁定文章第一段“I liked nothing better than
getting behind the wheel of our family pickup （小货运车）”,词句中nothing better than 意为没有比…
更好的了，故这句可翻译为我最爱跟在我我家小货运车的后面了，结合后文作者父亲你让他赊
账，可知之前作者都只是跟随着父亲的后面，啥事儿也不干。故选B。

4. A 推理判断题。找到题干中的关键句“I need to put this on credit carefully”在文中的位置，根据
关键句上一段 “My family was honest. We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would
the store owner trust us?” 可知作者家里都是勤勤恳恳的好人，当时赊账是因为缺钱，小心翼翼是

因为害怕老板不相信作者，故选A。
5. B词义猜测题。定位后，该词位于最后一段最后一句，“a decent person who kept his word and
respected himself too much to do wrong.” 由此句可以看出decent修饰person作定语，同时后有定语
从句也修饰person，意为一个信守承诺，自尊自爱的人，故选B.
长难句分析：
Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself

too much to do wrong.
句意：每个人都知道对威廉姆斯的期望是什么：一个信守诺言、严格要求自己而不会做错事的正

派人。
其中，动词knew后面是what+to do的结构，这个结构充当宾语成分。person后面的who引导的是定
语从句。
too...to....句型意为“太......而不能”。
