参考答案

正确答案:B
参考译文夏季的一天,父亲让我去给家里的农场买电线。对于16岁的我来说,最快乐的事情莫过于开着我们的卡车出去,但是这次我一点也不高兴。父亲告诉我必须去商店赊账。16岁是一个骄傲的年龄,是一个年轻人需要尊重,而不是怜悯的年龄。当时是1976年,现实生活中依然笼罩着种族歧视的阴影。我曾经见过我的朋友们去赊账,站在那里,低着头等待店主盘问他们是否“有信用”。我知道,像我这么大的黑人孩子每次去杂货铺,售货员都会把我们看成小偷一样。我们家很诚实,每次的借款我们都会还。但是在收获之前,我们缺少现金。(这次)店主会相信我们吗?在戴维斯的商店里面,贝克·戴维斯正站在柜台后面,和一个农场主交谈着。我走向五金货架,经过他的时候,我点头向他打招呼。我拿着商品来到现金付款台,我小心翼翼地说:“我想赊账。”那个农场主看着我,露出惊奇、不信任的表情。但是贝克的表情一点也没有变化。他轻快地说:“可以。你父亲总是很守信用的。”他转向那个人说:“这是詹姆斯·威廉的一个儿子。”那个农场主友善地点点头。我内心充满了自豪。詹姆斯·威廉的儿子。这三个字开启了通往一个成年人的尊重和信任的大门。那一天,我发现我父母的好名声为我们全家赢得了邻居们的尊重。人人都知道从威廉家出来的是什么样的人:一个正直、总是讲信用、极其自重而不至于犯错的人。答案及解析36.B【解析】本题考查不定代词的用法。nothingbetterthan的意思是“没有比…更好的”,这里的意思是作者最喜欢开着卡车出去了。所以本题的正确答案为B。
