新课标高考英语阅读分类复习：故事类 第1题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅰ）)A ‎   It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas . While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. ‎ ‎   The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. ‎ ‎   I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. ‎ ‎   People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. ‎ ‎56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?‎ ‎   A. The man’s job was bike racing.           B. It was their only possession.‎ ‎   C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.             D. They used it for work and daily life.‎ ‎57. We can infer from the text that ____________.‎ ‎   A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.       B. people were busy before Christmas ‎   C. the stranger brought over the bike         D. life was hard for the young family.‎ ‎58. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?‎ ‎   A. From radio broadcasts.                 B. From a newspaper. ‎ ‎   C. From TV news.                       D. From a stranger.‎ ‎59. What do the couple learn from their experience?‎ ‎   A. Strangers are usually of little help.        B. One should take care of their bike.‎ ‎   C. News reports make people famous.        D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. ‎ 答案 ‎ ‎56. D 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据第二段“Trevor used it to get to work...And the bike was also used to get groceries,”可知自行车是Trevor家工作和日常生活的交通工具。‎ ‎57. D 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段“While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.”可知大部分人都开车,而Trevor要早起骑车去工作,可以看出Trevor家不富裕。‎ ‎58. B 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.”可知作者把自行车被盗的事情告诉了报纸,所以人们是在报纸上知道这个故事的。‎ ‎59. D 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后两句“No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.”可知善行无论大小,作用是巨大的。 ‎ 第2题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅰ）)C Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.‎ Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out. ‎ The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention. ‎ Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.‎ The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while. 64. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎   A. The experience of the only child being with mother.‎ ‎   B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. ‎ ‎   C. The happy life of two families.‎ ‎   D. The basic needs of children.‎ ‎65. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.‎ ‎   A. happy        B. curious        C. regretful        D. friendly ‎66. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?‎ ‎   A. The daughter acts like a leader.         B. Sam holds her hand more often.‎ ‎   C. The boys become better followers.      D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.‎ ‎67. The author seems to believe that ___________.‎ ‎   A. having brothers and sisters is fun ‎   B. it’s tiring to look after three children ‎ ‎   C. every child needs parents’ full attention ‎   D. parents should watch others’ children 答案 ‎ ‎64. B 解析:这是一道主旨题。本文介绍了两个妈妈尝试每次只带一个孩子出去,从而发现了这样做的好处:孩子们不再为了引起注意而努力,更能发挥他们的个性。‎ ‎65. B 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“When she returned,the other children showered her with tons of questions.”可知其他孩子问了很多问题,可以推断出其他孩子都很好奇。‎ ‎66. D 解析:这是一道细节题。根据第四段“My stuttering son,Tom,doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak.”可知Tom由于不再需要抢着说话就不口吃了,他口吃的问题减轻了。‎ ‎67. C 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段“Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.”得知作者通过尝试只带一个孩子出去感受到了这样做的好处,所以孩子应该得到家长全部的关注,即使只有很短的时间。 ‎ 第3题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅱ）)A ‎    Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a ‎ cook in Italy and studying local specialties(地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.‎ ‎    Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay “Its about your personality (个性) and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”‎ ‎    But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new how, Lieberman was back in his won small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company (航空公司)was looking for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.‎ ‎41. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family__________.‎ A. have relatives in Europe                  B. love cooking at home C. often hold parties                        D. own a restaurant ‎42. The Food Network got to know Lieberman  _______.‎ A. at one of his parties                        B. from his teachers C. through his taped show                    D. on a television program ‎43.

Lieberman’s after-class interest.              D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.‎ ‎44. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?‎ A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen. B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.‎ C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.‎ D. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.‎ ‎45. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?.‎ A. He is clever but lonely.                   B. he is friendly and active.‎ C. He enjoys traveling around.               D. He often changes his menus.‎ 答案 ‎ ‎41.B 解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第一段“Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens”可以判断出他的家人喜欢在家里做饭。‎ ‎42.C 解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段最后一句“Tapes of the show were passed around,with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.”可以推断出Food Network是通过他表演的录像带知道Lieberman的。‎ ‎43.A 解析:这是一道词义猜测题。根据第二段的“It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”可知Food Network看中Lieberman的关键是他的魅力,可以推断出charisma是吸引别人的能力。‎ ‎44.D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful,inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights.”可以推断出Lieberman能获得这个职位是因为他能做出好吃、便宜又简单的食品。‎ ‎45.B 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段后半段可知Lieberman组织和参加了多个活动:组织聚会、制作录像带、给同学解答烹饪问题,可以推断出他是个友好而活跃的人。 ‎ 第4题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（全国Ⅱ）)C ‎    Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.‎ ‎    Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction (反应) . She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.‎ ‎    Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEO’s to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.‎ ‎    Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could but this place and fire you,” or“I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and Power.‎ ‎    The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called, Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.‎ ‎    “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rode to someone cleaning the tables.”‎ ‎49. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?‎ A. He was fired.                               B. He was blamed.‎ C. The woman comforted him.                   D. The woman left the restaurant at once.‎ ‎50. Odland leaned one of his life lessons from  ________.‎ A. his experience as a waiter.                    B. the advice given by the CEOs C. an article in Fortune                         D. an interesting best-selling book ‎51. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about __________.‎ A. Fortune 500 companies                    B. the Management Rules C. Swanson’s book                           D. the Waiter Rule ‎52. From the text can learn that __________.‎ A. one should be nicer to important people        B. CEOs often show their power before others C. one should respect others no matter who they are D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants 答案 ‎ ‎49. C 解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第二段“She was shocked,regained calmness and,in a kind voice,told the young Odland,‘It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.”可以判断出这位女士没有责备他,而且还安慰他。‎ ‎50. A 解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据第二段“When she left the restaurant,she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson:You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.”可以推断出Odland在当waiter的时候学到了这人生中的一课。‎ ‎51. D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything,but most agree with the Waiter Rule.”可以推断出大部分CEO都会同意“侍者规则”。‎ ‎52. C 解析:这是一道推断题。根据最后一段“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter,or to others,is not a nice person.”可以推断出一个人无论对谁都要尊重。 ‎ 第5题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（北京卷）)C ‎    Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar （美洲狮） saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.‎ ‎    Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.‎ ‎    “Tom, no!” shouted his father.‎ ‎       But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted. ‎ ‎       Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit, hard. The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the comer of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.‎ ‎      “Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.‎ ‎       The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.‎ ‎        The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.‎ ‎63. Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?‎ A. To get ready to fight. B. To frighten it away. C. To protect the boy. D. To cool down.‎ ‎64. What do we know about cougars?‎ A. They are afraid of noises. B. They hesitate before they hit.‎ C. They are bigger than we think. D. They like to attack running people.‎ ‎65. How did Jeb try to hold the cougar’s attention?‎ A. By keeping shouting and hitting. B. By making a wall out of his arms.‎ C. By throwing himself on the cougar. D. By swinging his fists at the cougar’s eyes.‎ ‎66. Which of the following happened first?‎ A. The cougar jumped from the rock. B. Tom struggled free of his father.‎ C. Jeb asked Tom to get the knife. D. Jeb held Tom across his body.‎ 答案 ‎ ‎63. B 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第一段“Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands,making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated”Jeb 把衬衣用双手张开让美洲狮看自己很大,美洲狮就犹豫,不再攻击他了。所以把衬衣张开的目的是吓唬美洲狮。‎ ‎64D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第四段“But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar.”Tom撒腿就跑,这是对美洲狮做的最后一件事。这句话的隐含意是美洲狮一看到人逃跑就会攻击。‎ ‎65. A 解析:这是一道细节判断题。根据倒数第二段,“The boy ran to his father’s bag,while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting,to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom.”可知Jeb吸引美洲狮的方法是吼叫和攻击。‎ ‎66. D 解析:这是一道判断题。根据文中的描述,先发生的是Jeb让Tom和自己的身体交叉,然后Tom害怕了,挣开了他父亲跑了,美洲狮攻击Tom,Jeb就扑向美洲狮,在和美洲狮搏斗时,Jeb让Tom给他刀子。所以最先发生的是D项。 ‎ 第6题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（天津卷）)C I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant , and ancient for a sportsman, Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me.

It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.‎ You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged." as she explained.‎ My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed.‎ ‎ Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.‎ These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有......的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.‎ Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.‎ ‎68. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?‎ A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful.‎ C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.‎ ‎69.

This passage mainly tells us that _______.‎ A. my mother often made us confused B. my family members had a poor memory C. my mother helped us to form a good habit ‎ D. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother 答案 ‎ ‎68. D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第一段“It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.”可知(母亲)希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序。‎ ‎69. B 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第二段可知如果你把读了一半的书放在椅子上走开,母亲会把书放回原位,所以“我妻子”找不到饼干是母亲把它拿走放回去了。‎ ‎70. D 解析:这是一道推理题。根据后面半句“and my brother does the cleaning in his house.”可以推断出这句话是说我妹妹在妈妈的影响下也开始喜欢干净明亮的窗户了。‎ ‎71. C 解析:这是一道主旨题。本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个好习惯。 ‎ 第8题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（江苏卷）)E ‎ ‎         Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.‎ ‎         My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”‎ ‎          At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later I returned to school-walking on my own!‎ ‎          When the Great Depression(大萧条)hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.‎ Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels ‎ available for families and was angry that they charged an extra$2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆)for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.‎ ‎            Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the word-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an in income of $ 1 billion a year.‎ ‎           You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.‎ ‎71.What Kemmons’mom often told him during his childhood was_______.‎ A.caring                B.moving               C.encouraging               D.interesting ‎72.According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?‎ A.Doctors.                   B.Nurses.                            C.Friends.                    D.Mom.‎ ‎73.What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?‎ A. His terrible experience in the hotel.‎ B. His previous business success of various levels.‎ C. His mom’s support.‎ D. His wife’s suggestion.‎ ‎74.Which of the following best describes Kemmons’mother?‎ A. Modest ,helpful and hard-working.                 B. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.‎ C. Careful, helpful and beautiful.                        D.Strict, sensitive and supportive.‎ ‎75.Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?‎ A. Self-confidence, had work, higher education and a poor family B. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.‎ C. Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.‎ D. Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.‎ 答案 ‎ ‎71.C 解析:这是一道细节题。根据第二段中作者的妈妈说的话“Kemmons,you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”可判断出当作者年幼时妈妈给他最多的是鼓励。‎ ‎72. D 解析:这是一道细节题。根据第三段中的“Every day,my mother spoke to me in her gentle,loving voice,telling me that no matter what those doctors said,I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later,I returned to school—walking on my own!”可判断出是作者的妈妈使他重返学校。‎ ‎73. A 解析:这是一道细节题。根据倒数第三段中的“I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel for families that would never charge extra for children.”可判断出作者决定自己开办旅馆的原因是他在旅馆的一次糟糕的经历。‎ ‎74.

B 解析:这是一道细节推断题。作者在这篇短文中讲述了他年幼时他妈妈对他的鼓励。成年后他的目标明确,充满自信心,努力地为自己的目标而奋斗,所以他成功的原因是:妈妈的鼓励、明确的目标、自信心和勤奋工作。 ‎ 第9题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（浙江卷）)A If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, “ Hey, Butterfly Man,” his face would break into a smile. The title suits him. And he loves it.‎ Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly(蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back — thanks to him. But years ago if you’d told him this was what he’d be doing someday, he would have laughed, “ You’re crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “ a little tough guy on the streets”. At age thirteen, he was caught by police for stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man..‎ ‎“ I knew it had hurt my mom,” Bonner said after he got out of prison. “ So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”‎ One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat(栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.‎ ‎“ I saw the sign ‘ Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘ How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?’” Bonner recalls. “ Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜) , ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, ‘ Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”‎ Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he’s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.‎ The butterfly’s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.‎ For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison.

A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni 答案 ‎ ‎41. A 解析:这是一道细节题。根据第二段中“At eighteen,he landed in prison for shooting a man.”可判断出你Arthur Bonner年轻时因为违法被关进了监狱。‎ ‎42. C 解析:这是一道细节题。根据倒数第三段中的“Weeks later,Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni,who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue.”可判断出当Arthur Bonner遇到Dr. Mattoni后知道了the Palos Verdes。‎ ‎43. B 解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据短文最后一句话“For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue,the butterfly has helped bring him ‎ back,too.”可推断出六年来Bonner遵守着自己远离监狱的诺言，所以饲养蝴蝶改变了Arthur Bonner的生活。‎ ‎44. B 解析:这是一道标题选择题。这篇短文讲述了Arthur Bonner在年轻人因为无违法而蹲进了监狱，后来通过饲养蝴蝶而改变了生活，是蝴蝶挽救了他。因此最好的题目是：A Man Saved by Butterflies。 ‎ 第10题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（浙江卷）)E I began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.‎ With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.‎ ‎“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.‎ ‎“ None.”‎ ‎“ Where did you go?”‎ ‎“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”‎ ‎“ What did you do?”‎ ‎“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”‎ ‎“ You just stood there?”‎ ‎“ Didn’t sell a single one.”‎ ‎“ My God, Russell!”‎ Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.‎ Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.‎ One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business. ‎ ‎“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.‎ My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.‎ ‎56. Why did the boy start his job young? ‎ ‎   A. He wanted to be famous in the future. B. The job was quite easy for him.‎ ‎   C. His mother had high hopes for him. D. The competition for the job was fierce.‎ ‎57. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.‎ ‎   A. excited          B. interested          C. ashamed             D. disappointed ‎ ‎58. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?‎ ‎   A. She forced him to continue.              B. She punished him.‎ ‎   C. She gave him some money.              D. She changed her plan.‎ ‎59. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?‎ ‎   A. The war between the boy’s parents. ‎ ‎   B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.‎ ‎   C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.‎ ‎   D. The fight between the boy and his father.‎ ‎60. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎   A. The early life of a journalist. B. The early success of a journalist.‎ ‎   C. The happy childhood of the writer. D. The important role of the writer in his family.‎ 答案 ‎ ‎56. C 解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段中的“She wanted me to ‘make something’ of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.”可判断出男孩年龄很小时就开始参加工作的原因是他妈妈对他抱有很高的希望。‎ ‎57. D 解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据他妈妈说的话My God,Russell!可判断出他妈妈很失望。‎ ‎58. A 解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.”可判断出当男孩决定放弃工作时，他妈妈强迫他继续干下去。‎ ‎59. B 解析:这是一道猜义题。根据倒数第二段中的“She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines. Whenever I said no,she would scold me.”可判断出画线单词this battle指的是他与妈妈之间的争论。‎ ‎60. A 解析:这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了一位年轻男孩在他妈妈的鼓励和帮助下，很早就参加了工作，四十年后他成为一名著名的新闻工作者。所以这篇短文是关系一位新闻工作者早期生活的故事。 ‎ 第11题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（浙江卷）)‎ 题目 ‎ Cathy、Jason、Kate、Wayne和Frank各自打算订一份杂志。第61至65题是他们的个人情况介绍。‎ 阅读下面六种杂志的简介（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出符合各人需要的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。‎ ‎61.

I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but ‎ Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.‎ Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.‎ Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”‎ On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In , ‎ Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages(孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.‎ ‎56.Without Mr. Clark, the writer           .‎ A.might have been put into prison                      B.might not have won the prize C.might have joined a women’s club                   D.might not have moved to ‎Atlanta ‎57.The Essential 55 is           .‎ A.a show                  B.a speech                    C.a classroom rule         D.a book ‎58.How many students’names were finally drawn out of a hat by Mr. Clark?‎ A.None                        B.Three                        C.Fifty-five.                                D.All.‎ ‎59.In the passage, the writer intends to tell us that           .‎ A.Mr. Clark went to South Africa because he liked travelling B.Mr. Clark helped to set up a group of women’s clubs C.a good teacher can help raise his or her students’ scores D.a good teacher has a good influence on his or her students 答案 ‎ ‎56.答案：A 解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“I have friends who ended up in prison.I could have ended up that way,too,but Mr.Clark wouldn’t let that happen.”可知“我”可能会像其他朋友那样最后进了监狱，但是克拉克先生没有让这件事情(我进监狱)发生，所以选A项。‎ ‎57.答案：D 解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第四段“He started giving lectures about education,and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules,The Essential 55.”可知他(Mr.Clark)根据自己的课堂纪律写了一本畅销书叫“The Essential 55”，所以“The Essential 55”是一本书的名字。‎ ‎58.答案：A 解析：这是一道推理题。根据第三段“But when the time came to draw names,Mr.Clark said,‘You’re all going.’”可知本来要从帽子里抽出3个孩子的名字一起去领奖，但是最后孩子们都去了，也就是没有从帽子里抽取名字。‎ ‎59.答案：D 解析：这是一道归纳题。本文介绍了一个优秀的老师，他爱护学生，以身作则，用自身的行动得到了孩子们的爱戴和尊敬。A选项错误是因为Mr.Clark去非洲是送装备和探访孤儿院；B选项错误是因为建立女性俱乐部是作者的愿望，而不是老师的；C选项错误是从文中可以看出帮助学生提高成绩只是好老师的一个方面，文章并没有强调老师如何帮助学生提高成绩。‎ 第13题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（湖北卷）)A Karen, grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States, maintained high moral(道德的) standards  throughout her youth.. In 1984,at the age of 23,she married Bill. They were blessed with two children, a boy and a girl.‎ By 1991 their love had deepened, and they were happy. Later that year, Bill developed a white spot on his tongue. He visited a doctor.‎ One day shortly after that, Bill called Karen to sit beside him. He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her. The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.‎ The family was tested. Bill and Karen’s results were positive. Bill had become infected before he met Katen; then he passed the virus on to Karen. The children’s results were negative. Within three years, Bill ‎ was dead. “I don’t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly. I cried many nights. He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,” says Karen. Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death, she is still alive. The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.‎ Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS, a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia. Ireland and Paraguay. According to one UN report, Africa has 21 million of these victims. By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history. Of the world’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV. Of these, only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected. In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infected.‎ Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have died of it. It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone, about 2,3 million people died of it. Nevertheless, there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS. During the past few years, there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations. In addition, promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.‎ ‎61.By telling the story of Karen, the author intends to                       .‎ A. were people against high risk behaviors B. stress the importance of medical tests C. express sympathy for AIDS victims D. show the consequences of AIDS ‎62.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means “           ”.‎ A. were lucky in having                             B. were asked to adopt C. regretted having                                    D. gave birth to ‎63.Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after   .‎ A. he got married to Karen B.the family members were tested C.Karen persuaded him to see the doctor D.he found something wrong with his tongue ‎64.It can be concluded from the passage that     .‎ A. promising drugs will soon stop AIDS B.the spread of AIDS could be controlled C.it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDS D.the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced 答案 ‎ ‎61D 解析:这是一道归纳题。本文前几段讲述了Bill和Karen的故事,说明了AIDS使人死亡,家庭破裂,进而描述AIDS在全球的发病情况,所以Karen的故事是为了说明AIDS带来的后果。‎ ‎62. A 解析:这是一道词义猜测题。从第一段容易判断他们生了两个孩子,be blessed with 的意思是“幸运得拥有”,所以“were lucky in having”最贴切,能表达幸运的意思。‎ ‎63. D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段的“Bill developed a white spot on his tongue”和第三段的“The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV.”可以推断出他是在舌头出现问题后去看医生发现染上AIDS的。‎ ‎64. B 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段“there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS”和“In addition, promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.”可以推断出控制AIDS的传播还是有可能的。 ‎ 第14题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（江西卷）)（A）‎ I first went to Harrow in the summer term.  The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen.  It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of  this with boys of my own size or less. ‎ One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool.  He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him  a fair game.  Coming secretly behind ,I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side,‎ ‎ and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. “Do you know what you have done?”they said,“It’s Amery;  he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym ,he has got his football honor.”‎ I was frightened and felt ashamed.  How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. ”He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,“My father, who is a great man, is also small. ”At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed. ‎ ‎56. The writer thought Amery“a fair game”because the boy   . ‎ A. looked like an animal      B. was fond of games C. was of similar size         D. was good at sports ‎57. The writer felt“ashamed” because    . ‎ A. he was laughed at by other boys   B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him  D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete ‎58. By saying “My father, who is a great man, is also small”, the write   . ‎ A. tried to please Amery       B. challenged Amery C. threatened Amery           D. admired his father ‎59. Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. The writer could run faster than Amery.  B. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes. ‎ C. Amery was a student in Grade Four. D. Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior. ‎ 答案 ‎ ‎56. C 解析：这是一道细节题。根据上文中的“He was no bigger than I was”可判断出作者认为这是一次公平的游戏的原因是因为那个男孩和他的体型一样。‎ ‎57. D 解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段中的“It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym;he has got his football honor.”可判断出作者之所以感到惭愧的原因是他开了一位著名运动员的玩笑。‎ ‎58. A 解析：这是一道推断题。根据上文的内容可判断出作者认为和一个与他体型差不多的男孩开玩笑是一次公平的游戏，而没想到对方是一名著名的运动员，所以为了讨好对方，作者说“My father,who is a great man,is also small”。‎ ‎59. D 解析：这是一道正误判断题。根据最后一段中的how I had better be careful in the future可判断出Amery没有原谅作者的粗鲁行为。所以选项D是错误的。 ‎ 第15题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（四川卷）)E ‎    I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings，pieces of information，ideas，themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated（复杂的）idea” until he had read at least two thought books，I heard the words without recognizing either its irenic(嘲讽)or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the looks I had ever read. Strict with myself，I in chided only once a title I might have read several times.(How，after all. could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book ?)‎ ‎    There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.” “More than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore(忽视).I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course , I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep booking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience ‎ and superstition(迷信) of a schoolboy ,I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word. pleased. I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.‎ ‎71.On hearing the teacher’s suggestion of reading, the writer thought___________.‎ A. one must read as many books as possible B. a student should not have a complicated idea C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read ‎72. While at high school, the writer ______________.‎ A. had plans for reading B. learned to educate himself C. only read book over 100 pages D. read only one book several times ‎73.The underlined please “with finality ”probably means “__________”.‎ A. firmly            B. clearly             C. proudly               D. pleasantly ‎74.The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____________.‎ A. explain why it was included in the list B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand D. prove that he understand most of it because he had looked at every word ‎75. The writer provides two book lists to _______________.‎ A. show how be developed his point of view B. tell his reading experience at high school C. introduce the two persons’ reading methods D. explain that he read many books at high school 答案 ‎ ‎71. A 解析：这是一道推断题。根据“I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read.”可知作者根据老师的话列了一个书单，也就是说作者认为应该多读书。‎ ‎72. A 解析：这是一道推断题。根据第二段“That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore (忽视).I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles.”可知作者根据英语教授的推荐列了自己要读的书单，制定了读书计划。‎ ‎73. A 解析：这是一道词义猜测题。根据教授的话“these books have made me all that I am.”可知他对于推荐的书是很推崇的，所以他的推荐是坚决的。‎ ‎74. C 解析：这是一道推理题。根据最后一段“Most books,of course,I hardly understood.While reading Plato’s The Republic,for example,”可知作者提到The Republic是为了作为一个例子说明作者的书单里面很多书看不懂。‎ ‎75. B 解析：这是一道归纳题。作者举出了两个读书清单讲述了两个在高中读书的经历。 ‎ 第16题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（四川卷）)B ‎    Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.‎ ‎    When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.‎ ‎    Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim’s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim’s father was 48.‎ ‎    “I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father，” Dr. Smoller says.“He felt that if he had not asked him to, too. at his homework，his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years.” Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.‎ ‎    Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays m physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim’s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.‎ ‎59. Jim was sent back to operation because__________.‎ A. his heart didn’t work well B. he expected a full recovery C. his life was drawing to a close D. the first one wasn’t well performed ‎60. What made Dr. Smaller feel strange about Jim’s case?‎ A. Jim died at a young age. B. Jim died on the operating table.‎ C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease. ‎ D. Jim’s death is closely connected with his father’s.‎ ‎61. From Smoller’s words, we can infer that__________.‎ A. Jim’s father cared little about his study B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father C. Jim thought he would be punished some day D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn’t live to the age of 48‎ ‎62. Which of the following could have strong effect on one’s physical health according to the text?‎ a. One’s genes.‎ b. One’s life in childhood.‎ c. One’s physical education.‎ d. The date of one’s birthday.‎ e. The opinions one has about something.‎ A. a, b, d          B. a, b, e            C. a, c, e          D b, c, d 答案 ‎ ‎  59. A 解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“Within days,however,his heart was not beating properly.Jim was rushed back to operation”可知手术后Jim的心脏跳动不正常，所以再次手术。‎ ‎60. D 解析：这是一道归纳题。从第三段和第四段可以分析出，Jim一直认为自己导致了父亲的死，所以他认为也只能活到48岁，Jim的死和他父亲的死有很大关系，这点让Smoller教授感到吃惊。‎ ‎61. C 解析：这是一道推理题。根据第四段“Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years.”可知这个手术是Jim等待了40年的判决，也就是说Jim一直认为自己杀死了父亲，会受到惩罚。‎ ‎62. B 解析：这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段“Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health...studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.”可知影响身体状况的有3个因素：态度、童年时期的事情和基因。 ‎ 第17题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（重庆卷）)C Dear all,‎ ‎    Please read Professor Hume’s email about his next lecture on Rosa Parks.‎ Susan Miller Secretary ‎＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊‎ Dear Susan，‎ Please forward this message to students of my history class.‎ Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook，the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library. ‎ Ted Hume ‎    The early experiences of Rosa Parks（1913-），long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement.” were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black woman，however，turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her scat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down.” remarked John Lewis，“she was standing up for all Americans.”‎ ‎    Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom（1996）and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).‎ ‎    Parks died on Oct.24，，At St. Paul A，M，E，Church in Montgomery，a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others，who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention. might not have realized her impact(影响)on their lives，“but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks，I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”‎ ‎    After her casket（灵柩）was placed at the Capitol. U.S. President Bush，members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol，a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.‎ ‎63.

C 解析:这是一道归纳题。从第三段“The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.”可以看出Rosa Parks的政治影响是促进了种族平等,她的行为改变了美国的历史进程。‎ ‎66. D 解析:这是一道推断题。根据最后一句“In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.”可知她被葬在国会大厦,通常总统才能有这个待遇。 ‎ 第18题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（山东卷新课标）)A A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, ‎ reduced to waist-high ruins, smelly and dirty. ‎ Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up ‎ the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, ‎ ‎“No charge.” She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I ‎ went for a haircut, and the same thing happened. ‎ As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage（抵押贷款）on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans. ‎ It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan go back. Then a poet at the University‎ of ‎Florida offered to let his house to me. While he want to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months. ‎ Throughout this painful experience , the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity .It’s almost worth losing you worldly possessions to be reminded that people really when given half a chance. ‎ ‎56.The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of _______.‎ A.unconcern         B.sympathy                  C.doubt         D.tolerance ‎ ‎57.What do we know about James Kennedy? ‎ A.He was a writer of an online magazine.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. ‎ ‎   The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. ‎ ‎   I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. ‎ ‎   People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. ‎ ‎56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?‎ A. The man’s job was bike racing.           B. It was their only possession.‎ C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.             D. They used it for work and daily life.‎ ‎57. We can infer from the text that ____________.‎ A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.       B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought over the bike         D. life was hard for the young family.‎ ‎58. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?‎ A. From radio broadcasts.                 B. From a newspaper. ‎ C. From TV news.                       D. From a stranger.‎ ‎59. What do the couple learn from their experience?‎ A. Strangers are usually of little help.        B. One should take care of their bike.‎ C. News reports make people famous.       D. An act of kindness can mean a lot. ‎ 答案 ‎ ‎56. D 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据第二段“Trevor used it to get to work...And the bike was also used to get groceries,”可知自行车是Trevor家工作和日常生活的交通工具。‎ ‎57. D 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段“While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.”可知大部分人都开车,而Trevor要早起骑车去工作,可以看出Trevor家不富裕。‎ ‎58. B 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.”可知作者把自行车被盗的事情告诉了报纸,所以人们是在报纸上知道这个故事的。‎ ‎59. D 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后两句“No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.”可知善行无论大小,作用是巨大的。 ‎ 第20题(年普通高等学校春季招生考试英语（上海卷）)‎ ‎    Making fists is relaxing. It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down (it’s OK, it’s on a list somewhere) and it makes you feel good when you cross something off 0ist-making is standard practice in therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them. Women always think they’re better at lists than men. Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble’ into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do. ‎ ‎    James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own “time management matrix (模式)”. He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories: things that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but haven’t got to be done immediately and things that are less urgent but that he doesn’t want to forget. “Using categories to order the world is the way the human mind works,” he says. “After that, you should divide things into levels of importance.” But he also warns, “If people get too absorbed in making fists, it doesn’t work. They have too many categories and lose their ability to decide which is the most important.”‎ ‎    It’s all a question of what works best for you, whether it’s a tidy notebook, a packet of Post-it notes or the back of your hand. Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list, which is printed out each morning. “My electronic organizer has changed my life,” she says. “Up to now, I’ve always relied on my good memory, but now that I’m working and studying, I find I’ve got too much to keep in my head.”‎ ‎    So what are you waiting for? No, you’re not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded time-managed life. In fact, there’s no better time titan the present to begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and pen and make a list. ‎ ‎72.The main purpose of making lists is to    .‎ A.help map out one’s future    B.divide things into levels of importance C.treat certain diseases such as depression    D.organize one’s work and life reasonably ‎73.We can learn from the passage that    .‎ A.good memory helps in list making B.too much’ listing might be misleading C.women usually make a lot more lists than men D.people with high-powered jobs make lists most ‎74.The word “categories” in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as“    ”.‎ A.groups    B.portions    C.items     D.areas ‎75.In this passage the author intends to    .‎ A.suggest a way of raising one’s living standard B.introduce some ways of business management C.urge people to develop the habit of listing D.warn people not to rely on their memory 答案 ‎ ‎72—75：DBAC ‎ 第21题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷Ⅰ)‎ ‎     Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. ‎ ‎    I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.‎ ‎    I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.‎ ‎    Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.‎ ‎    "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks.

During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secrectary-General of the United Nations (UN). ‎ ‎   Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting（笔迹）.It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange（交换）addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside.

My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers. ‎ ‎    It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.‎ ‎    It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字处理). This proved to be a bigger challenge(挑战) to her, so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.‎ ‎    “Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.‎ ‎    “No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”‎ ‎     My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(过敏反应). For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.‎ ‎49. What does the author do?‎ ‎    A. She is a cook.                       B.

The author asked her mother to write her a letter                .‎ ‎    A. because her mother had stopped using the telephone ‎    B. because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother ‎    C. so that her mother could practice what she had learned ‎    D. so that mother could be free from housework ‎52.

I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.”可知作者让母亲写信来练习使用电脑，进行文字处理。‎ ‎52．这是一道细节推断题。根据最后一句“My father has finally got over his phone allergy.”和“Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in he past 20 years”可知有了电脑后，作者的父亲更多打电话了。‎ 第25题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语北京卷)‎ ‎    I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”‎ ‎    AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.‎ ‎    We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.‎ ‎    I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.‎ ‎    I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. she saved my life. ‎ I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.‎ ‎60. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?‎ ‎    A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.‎ ‎    B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.‎ ‎    C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.‎ ‎    D. He told no one about his disease.‎ ‎61. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?‎ ‎    A. Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher. B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.‎ ‎    C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.‎ ‎    D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.‎ ‎62. Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?‎ ‎    A. She was afraid of being looked down upon. B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.‎ ‎    C. She found no one willing to listen to her. D. She wanted to obey her mother.‎ ‎63. Why did Kerrel write the passage?‎ ‎    A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.‎ ‎    B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.‎ ‎    C. To draw people's attention to AIDS. D. To remember her father. ‎ 答案 60.D  61.C  62.A  63.C ‎60．解析：这是一道判断题。最后一段“He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone”可知D正确。‎ ‎61．解析：这是一道判断题。文中第三段前面讲到家庭状况很差，不能负担父亲的医疗费、我上学需要的钱甚至是吃饭的钱，因此很受困扰。这种困扰带到课堂上，影响了上课，因此选C。‎ ‎62．解析：本题是细节推断题，可以从第四段寻找答案。第四段讲到“我看到过人们对待艾滋病的态度”，并且举例说明。因此作者不告诉别人的原因是怕别人看不起。‎ ‎63．解析：这是一道判断题。从最后一句可以判断，“He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.”可知写这篇文章的目的是为了引起人们对艾滋病的重视，选C。‎ 第26题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语天津卷)‎ ‎    At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray. ‎ ‎    Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.‎ ‎    As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.‎ ‎    By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist (雾气) had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore.‎ ‎    The outer fringe (边缘) of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly. All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake.‎ ‎    Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects.‎ ‎    The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy.‎ ‎39. Dave got up early in the morning to ______ ‎ ‎    A. enjoy the scene of the lake B. seek adventure at the lake ‎    C. go fishing in the lake D. take a walk by the lake ‎40. According to the story, which of the following is TRUE?‎ ‎    A. Dave broke the quietness of the lake. B. Dave was familiar with the surroundings.‎ ‎    C. Dave took a picture of the lake with him. D. Dave forgot the fishing pole at the beginning.‎ ‎41. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 6 refers to ______ ‎ ‎    A. fish     B. boat     C. silence     D. mist ‎42. What can we learn from the end of the story?‎ ‎    A. Dave was hopeful of catching a lot of fish. B. Dave wished the weather would be better. ‎ ‎    C. Dave was happy that dawn was broken. D. Dave expected someone else would come. ‎ 答案 39. C   40. B  41. D   42. A ‎ ‎39．解析：这是一道判断题。全文讲了Dave捕鱼的过程，因此他早起是为了捕鱼，而不是享受湖边的美景、湖边探险或者湖边漫步，因此选C。‎ ‎40．解析：这是一道推断题。从第六段第一句“Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings.”可知，Dave对环境很熟悉，因此选B。‎ ‎41．解析：这是一道指代题。在it之前一句话“Then the mist began to rise, slowly”可知，it指代的是the mist。‎ ‎42．解析：这是一道推断题。从第三段第二句“Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench”可知他来湖边目的是捕鱼，最后又讲到“Dave raised his pole. He was excited with expectancy.”由此可知，Dave希望捕很多的鱼。‎ 第27题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语江苏卷)‎ ‎     The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth,Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.‎ ‎     The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always. ‎ ‎   The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March.  “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. Then Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together. ‎ ‎   Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety. ‎ ‎   Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches’. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall.

I’m not a football commentator(评论员),though-just an English teacher in Japan.    I came to Japan two years ago, and didn't think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s  best to teach in a biggest city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.     I teach English  privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course  first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.      Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.      The schools are reluctant to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.‎ ‎56.From the passage we know in Japan the write likes to live in_______. A.Tokyo                  B.a small town C.a city of middle site            D.a big city 57.According to the writer, one had better________first to do private teaching better. A.take a TEFL course                         B.decide his or her own lessons C.find students                                    D.build up a full schedule 58.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that_______. A.there are many foreigners in Japan B.Japan is good for nightlife C.they can teach English privately in Japan D.Japan has something more attractive than expected 59.The underlined word“reluctant”in the passage may probably mean_____. A.kind          B.unwilling       C.free                   D.careless 答案 56.C 57.A 58.D 59.B ‎ ‎56．解析：这是一道细节题。第二段中的But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.说明作者喜欢住在中等城市中。neither too large nor too small表示是一个不大不小的城市，即大小适中的城市，与a city of middle size同义。‎ ‎57．解析：这是一道细节题。根据第三段中的If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course firs, because your lessons will be much better for it.可判断出为了把私立教学搞好，首先要参加TEFL课程，因为这样TEFL课程可以使私立教学搞得更好。‎ ‎58．解析：这是一道猜义题。根据上文中的I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you.可判断出这句话的意思是“日本有些比想象得更吸引人的东西。”作者本来没有打算呆在日本，但是在那儿已呆了两年，这超出了预料，其原因是日本有一些吸引人的东西。‎ ‎59．解析：这是一道词义猜测题。根据下文中的even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off可判断出reluctant意为“不愿意”，因为had trouble getting the day off表示在休假方面有困难，说明校方不愿意让教师休假。‎ 第29题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语湖北卷)‎ ‎    The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira"He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth. ‎ ‎   When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the comer selling fruit in ‎ the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.‎ ‎   I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up?” I asked him. “I...I don't have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills."Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. “Thank you very much.”‎ ‎   When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat (骗子)? And then I wondered why I did it .Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.‎ ‎   Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.‎ ‎   "Oh, gosh! Long time."‎ ‎   "Are you in school now?”  I asked.‎ ‎   He nodded.‎ ‎   "That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong?” I asked. "It's a gift."‎ ‎   He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat (汗水). He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."‎ ‎64. What was the author's first impression of the boy?‎ ‎   A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.   B. He seemed to have suffered a lot ‎   C. He seemed younger than his age.   D. He seemed good at bargaining ‎65. The second time the author met the boy, the boy________.‎ ‎   A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts  B. wanted to express his thanks ‎   C. asked him for money for his schoolbooks D. tried to take advantage of him ‎66. Why did the author give his money to the boy?‎ ‎     A. Because he had enough money to do that.‎ ‎     B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.‎ ‎     C. Because he held a higher position in the society.‎ ‎     D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.‎ ‎67. Which of the following best describes the boy?‎ ‎     A. Brave and polite.    B. Kind and smart      C. Honest and thankful.       D. Shy and nervous. ‎ 答案 64. B 65. A  66. B 67.C ‎64．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段第二句“Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life.”the bitterness of life 的意思是生活的艰辛，suffered a lot 也是饱受苦难的意思，所以应该选B.‎ ‎65．解析：根据第三段作者问孩子为什么不上学而卖水果“I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.”可以知道孩子卖水果的原因是赚钱买课本。‎ ‎66．解析：根据第二段最后一句“My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.”我父母教育我要注意我们获得的优势和因此带来的责任，也就是说如果有条件应该对他人提供帮助。所以作者从小就受到父母的教育要帮助他人。‎ ‎67．解析：这是一道归纳题。从孩子受到作者的帮助后就去上学可以知道孩子是诚实（honest）的，不是作者所担心的骗子。另外，孩子一直等着作者并送了香蕉作为回报，说明孩子是知恩图报的（thankful）。‎ 第30题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语广东卷)‎ ‎     He's an old cobbler  (修鞋匠)  with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main  street ; he'll fix them for you right away.” ‎ ‎     But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman  (手艺人).  “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”‎ ‎      “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”— without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, andwhen they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away thepair.‎ ‎      My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,“Come back in a week.”‎ ‎      I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.‎ ‎      “See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”‎ ‎      When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange,dusty felt hot, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.‎ ‎      These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption  (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.‎ ‎60. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler.'?‎ ‎     A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.‎ ‎     C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian.‎ ‎61. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” ( paragraph 7 ) implies that       ‎ ‎     A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him ‎     B. it was difficult to communicate with this man ‎     C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old ‎62. According to the author, many people work just to           .‎ ‎     A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect ‎63. This story wants to tell us that            .‎ ‎     A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well ‎     C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equal 答案 60.C 61.A 62.C 63.B ‎60．解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第六段“he said with pride,‘Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.’”可知，他说在巴黎只有三个鞋匠能做这项工作，因此他对于自己的手艺很自豪。‎ ‎61．解析：这是一道推测词义题。划线句子的意思是“他好像是从远古时代出来的一样”。作者在说这句话的时候一点贬义也没有，作者很尊重他，这句话只是表明他跟现在的人不一样，现在很难找到像他这样的人了。‎ ‎62．解析：这是一道细节推断题。从最后一段“people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption”可知，人们工作的原因是为了增加消费。挣钱才能消费。因此，人们工作的原因是挣钱。‎ ‎63．解析：这是一道主旨题。最后一段讲到现在的人不认真工作，只是为了挣钱。最后一句话“In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.” 作者认为，看见一个鞋匠从做好一个工作中得到最大的满足是一种安慰。由此可得，作者希望人们应该认真工作。‎ 第31题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语江西卷)‎ ‎    The incident took place on Sunday，the 25th of June. On that particular day，a south wind had been gusting(劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern，so we carried on our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen.‎ ‎    The storm gave us very little warning. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon(地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then，we were not really worried，as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then，just as the clouds had moved inland，the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.‎ ‎    Instantly，we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the crops. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above the river. If the river flooded，they should be safe there.‎ ‎    In the meantime，my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off，it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows. If the storm developed into a cyclone(旋风)，the boards would protect the glass.‎ ‎    The storm raged for four hours，pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected，the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock..‎ ‎    Then，just as we were beginning to lose hope，the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The animals were safe，and the roof was still nailed on. “All’s well that ends well ,”said my mother.‎ ‎56.When the black clouds appeared suddenly in the distance,           .‎ ‎   A. the family were surprised    B. they were extremely worried ‎   C. they were preparing for the worst    D. they faced the storm bravely ‎ ‎57.“There was very little we could do about the crops” indicates that           .‎ ‎   A. little damage would be done to the crops    B. they had everything ready for the crops ‎   C. they felt unable to protect the crops    D. the crops should be safe enough there ‎58. The underlined word “ stock” in the third paragraph refers to          .‎ ‎   A. money owned by the family    B. goods for sale ‎   C. supplies for family use    D. farm animals    .‎ ‎59.It can be inferred from what the mother said that          ·‎ ‎   A. they had no damage at all    B. everything went beyond their expectation ‎   C. everything was under control    D. the family could have suffered a greater loss 答案 56. A   57. C   58. D    59. D ‎56．解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第二段第二句“Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon so suddenly that we were taken by surprise.”可知，A选项正确。‎ ‎57．解析：这是一道判断题。这句话翻译成汉语是“对于庄稼，我们能做的很少”，四个选项中只有C的意思符合，因此C正确。‎ ‎58．解析：这是一道推测题。这句话提到了storm会对stock and crops产生伤害。后面先说了crops，然后讲到了对animals的保护。由此可知，stock指的是animal，因此选D。‎ ‎59．解析：这是一道推断题。从文中来看，河水漫过河堤，不可能没有伤害，因此A不正确；河水漫过河堤是As expected，因此B也不正确；而C的内容显然不符合。从最后一段来看，如果暴风雨不突然停止的话，我们将遭受更大的灾难。因此D正确。‎ 第32题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语江西卷)‎ ‎    ‎ ‎    Buster Brown was a thief—and a good one，too，he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always Prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.‎ ‎    Confidently，he stood outside the house of his intended victim(受害者)and read the sign on the front gate of the house. “Don't worry about the dog—be aware of the owner !” it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.‎ ‎    The house looked quite normal outside，but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As he began putting them into his bag，a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster，then wagged its tail madly and went over to him，licking his outstretched hand.  “Good boy，” Buster whispered.  “What a great guard dog you are—trying to lick me to death.”‎ ‎    Satisfied he’d made friends with the dog，Buster began to wander round the house，choosing items to put in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques(古董)：a pair of silver candleholders，a silver tea-and-coffee service，etc. His new friend，the dog，sat and watched，as if wondering what was happening.‎ ‎    “Well，boy，”Buster whispered，finally. “That might do. Any more and I won’t be able to carry it!” He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.‎ ‎    “You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry as dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before.‎ ‎    “You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,” the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world’s greatest fortune-teller!”‎ ‎60. Why was Buster so confident?‎ ‎   A. He was not afraid of dogs.              B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone ‎   C. He had never been caught by the police.   D. The house had no security alarm.‎ ‎61. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word “exotic” in the third paragraph?‎ ‎   A. Messy and untidy.                        B. Rich and expensive.‎ ‎   C. Comfortable and calming.                  D. Foreign and unusual.‎ ‎62. How did Buster decide which objects to take?‎ ‎   A. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.‎ ‎   B. He took only the best antiques.‎ ‎   C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.‎ ‎   D. He looked for silver objects.‎ ‎63. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?‎ ‎   A. A prison sentence with hard labour.        B. A long prison sentence.‎ ‎   C. A heavy fine.                          D. Community service for 20 years. ‎ 答案 60. C   61. D   62. B   63. B ‎60．解析：这是一道细节推断题。第一段第二句“He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances.”可知Buster自信的原因是C。‎ ‎61．解析：这是一道词义推测题。exotic的意思是“异国情调的，奇异的”。本题B选项是容易混淆的答案。但是rich一般是形容人的，从这方面也可以排除B。‎ ‎62．解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第四段“His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques”可知B选项内容正确。‎ ‎63．解析：这是一道推断题。从最后一段那个人说的话“I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years”可知，Buster将会在监狱里呆20年。因此选B。‎ 第33题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语四川卷)‎ ‎   I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions（文学志向） were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated（孤独） and ‎ undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life. ‎ ‎    However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair-like teeth” - a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local（地方的） newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.‎ ‎56.The underlined word“it” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.‎ ‎    A.the quantity of serious writing B.the writer’s first poem ‎    C.the writer’s childhood D.the tiger in the poem ‎57.From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer ________.‎ ‎    A.had no playmates B.showed his gift for writing ‎    C.put out lots of poems and stories D.got his first poem published in 1916‎ ‎58.What can be inferred about the writer?‎ ‎    A.He was least favoured in his family. B.He had much difficulty in talking with others.‎ ‎    C.He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.‎ ‎    D.His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing. ‎ 答案 56.B  57.B  58.D  ‎ ‎56．解析：这是一道指代题。根据“I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation.”前面说my first poem，紧接着说忘记了内容只是还记得是关于老虎，it指代的就是my first poem。‎ ‎57．解析：这是一个归纳题。作者列举了小时候不同时期写的和发表的几篇诗，从而可以知道作者小时候就表现出了写作的才能。作者也提到了写故事，但是失败了。‎ ‎58．解析：这是一道推理题。根据“I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued.”可以判断出作者童年的孤独使他开始写作。‎ 第34题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语四川卷)‎ ‎     Juanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业).He has always wanted to travel.“I guess I am a really restless spirit. I Iike traveling, so when the chance came,I jumped at it,”he says. ‎ ‎    The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships(游船).At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel.He applied and,after two interviews,a medical check and police clearance,the job was his.‎ ‎    Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship,making sure that 160 crew work properly.“I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place and a different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,”he says.‎ ‎    Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries,and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.‎ ‎    But there is a downside .“You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,”he says.“You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”‎ ‎    Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week.He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day—and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.‎ ‎63.What do we know about Estrella?‎ ‎ A.He is very fond of traveling.  B.He doesn’t drink wine now.‎ ‎ C.He cannot speak a foreign language.  D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.‎ ‎64.The underlined word“downside”in paragraph 5 probably means  _______.‎ ‎ A.disappointment B.disadvantage C.failure D.loss ‎65.Which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A.Estrella doesn’t often feel homesick because of his work.‎ ‎ B.The work on the ship is not suitable for a married person.‎ ‎ C.Estrella can find no other job except the one on the ship.‎ ‎ D.The people on the ship are from 94 countries.‎ ‎66.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is  _______.‎ ‎ A.not a tiring journey at all          B.just an interesting voyage ‎ C.far from a voyage for pleasure     D.more than a pleasant travel by sea 答案 63.A  64.B  65.A  66.C ‎ ‎63．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“He has always wanted to travel.”和“I like traveling”他一直希望旅游，也十分喜欢旅游。‎ ‎64．解析：这是一道猜义题。上一段讲的是在船上工作好的一面，这一段第一个词就用了but，说明是开始讲在船上不好的一面。disadvantage 是不利条件，缺点。‎ ‎65．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week.”和“In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.”可以知道他非常忙，少有时间想家。‎ ‎66．解析：这是一道推理题。根据最后一段第一句“Life on the ship is anything but cruising.”船上的生活除了航行还是航行，说明作者不喜欢船上的生活，认为比较单调，“far from a voyage for pleasure”是“远远不是一个愉快的航行”的意思。‎ 第35题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语重庆卷)‎ ‎   When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's(解说者的)part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.‎ ‎    It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden."     "But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!"      My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too," she added.     When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. 　“But you will be a beautiful narrator, ”she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.     Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed. 56.The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because_______. A.she felt nervous on the stage. B.she lost her interest in that role. C.she preferred the role of the narrator D.she had difficulty memorizing her words 57.Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden? A.To remove the dandelions B.To enjoy the garden scene C.to have a talk with her daughter. D.to help her daughter with the ‎ play. 58.What is the main idea of the story? A.Everybody can find his or her own way to success. B.Everybody has his or her own value in the world.

But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire. ‎ ‎    It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.‎ ‎    The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就).Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.‎ ‎     Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ‘You are completely crazy,’” Saunders says.‎ ‎     In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.‎ ‎     Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.‎ ‎     This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1,800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.‎ ‎56.

What do we know about Saunders?‎ A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.‎ B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.‎ C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.‎ D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.‎ ‎59. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.‎ A.  Excited   B. Convinced   C. Delighted    D. Fascinated ‎60. It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.‎ A. was accompanied by his old playmates B. set a record in the North Pole expedition C. was supported by other Arctic explorers D. made him well-known in the 1960s 答案 56.B  57.D  58.A  59.D  60.B ‎ ‎56．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him”在此之前在体育方面被轻视，有了自行车后开始锻炼身体并逐渐成为探险家。‎ ‎57．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean.”可知Ridgway因1960年横穿大西洋而著名。‎ ‎58．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland,”说明他曾经在苏格兰的一个学校工作。‎ ‎59．解析：这是一道猜意题。根据后面的“Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future”说明Saunders很喜欢这个运动，并决定终生从事。可以推断出Intrigued是喜欢，痴迷的意思，Fascinated也是这个意思。‎ ‎60．解析：这是一道推理题。根据“Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton”可知他是独自滑雪去南极最年轻的人，创了一个纪录。‎ 第38题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语山东卷)‎ ‎    November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison’s eagerly anticipated(期待) eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men: Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award. ‎ ‎    Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy(遗产) of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary master’s trilogy(三部曲)investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved(1988), which deals with a black mother’s love under slavery and in freedom. Jazz (1993), the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and ’50s.‎ ‎     The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey’s Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as “the best and best-known vacation spot for colored folk on the East Coast.” We get to know  Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and a homeless young girl.‎ ‎      The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrison’s most accessible work since Song of Solomon.” This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was an effective selling point.‎ ‎61. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A.Toni Morrison’s latest novels B.Toni Morrison and her trilogy C.Toni Morrison and her novel Love D.Toni Morrison, the Nobel prizewinner ‎62. What can we learn about John Steinbeck?‎ A.He was a black writer. B.He was born in America.‎ C.He received the Nobel Prize after Morrison D.He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel ‎63. The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both _____.‎ A.belong to the same trilogy together with Beloved B.concern families of more than one generation C.deal with life of blacks under slavery D.investigate life in 1920s ‎Harlem ‎64. The novel Love mainly describes ______.‎ A. the best-known vacation spot for blacks B. the life of an outstanding black family under slavery C. the miserable experience of the five women in Harlem D. the memories of five women about Bill Cosey 答案 61.C  62.B  63.B  64.D ‎ ‎61．解析：这是一道主旨题。本文先讲了Toni Morrison得到了Nobel prize，然后介绍了她的小说love的主要内容，因此title应该选C。‎ ‎62．解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第一段“Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.”可知Morrison 是在John1962年得奖之后的第一个美国本土出生的诺贝尔奖获得者，因此John是美国人，B正确。‎ ‎63．解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第二段第一句“Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story”，可知这辆本书的相同点是multigenerational，因此选B。‎ ‎64．解析：这是一道推断题，从第三段“The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey”和“We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him”可知love的中心内容是D。‎ 第39题(年普通高等学校春季招生考试英语上海卷)‎ ‎      A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince’s son, but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain. ‎ ‎       About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.‎ ‎     Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around A friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it .The "tale" soon caught on and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.‎ ‎65.

A Prince and His Dog                            B. A Profit - Making Lie                                          ‎ C. A Magnificent Hotel                               D.

As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.‎ ‎         Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.‎ ‎      Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.‎ ‎     Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.‎ ‎71．What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?‎ ‎       A．A lot of care and the right soil. B．Frequent pruning and fertilizing.‎ ‎       C．Tomato plants grown alongside. D．Cages placed around the roots.‎ ‎72．The writer planted the tomato because _________.‎ ‎       A．it cost only $1.25 B．the soil was just right for it ‎       C．there was room for it in the garden D．the roses’ branches needed to be covered ‎73．This year the writer’s roses were __________.‎ ‎       A．removed from the rose bed B．picked along with the tomatoes ‎       C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight D．largely hidden under the tomato plant ‎74．By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.‎ ‎       A．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes ‎       B．show the hardship of growing the roses ‎       C．express her liking for the roses D．express her care for the tomatoes ‎75．In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.‎ ‎       A．the roses cost the writer little money ‎       B．the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes ‎       C．someone will help the writer make the decision ‎       D．the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes 答案 71.A 72.C73.D74.A75.B ‎ ‎71.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“Roses require a good deal of care，and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give，it wouldn’t be worth the work.”和第四段“Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.”可判断出对玫瑰花仔细的呵护和好的土壤才能使它们生长良好。‎ ‎72.解析：这是一道细节题。第三段“It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.”说明作者种西红柿的原因是花园里有可利用的空地。‎ ‎73.解析：这是一道细节题。倒数第二段“I found two fullblown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June，but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.”表示玫瑰花大多被西红柿的叶子遮盖。‎ ‎74.解析：这是一道猜义题。根据倒数第二段“I have to find the red ones among the leaves，which means I almost have to stand on my head，and once found I have to reach down and under”可猜测出作者说这句话的意思是他收获西红柿很难。‎ ‎75.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段的内容可推断出作者获得了西红柿大丰收。‎ 第41题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷Ⅱ（不含听力卷）)‎ ‎     Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper. ‎ ‎     But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.‎ ‎     One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gar-denia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.‎ ‎41． Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎       A．A childhood Dream.                               B．A Mother’s Love.‎ ‎       C．A Graduation Party.                              D．A Special Birthday.‎ ‎42．The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _________.‎ ‎       A．she could take care of things herself        B．she hoped she would find a boyfriend ‎       C．she wanted her to be happy and strong  D．she thought education was most important ‎43．Who was the sender of the flower?‎ ‎       A．A boy the writer had run into.                  B．One of the writer’s neighbors.‎ ‎       C．One of the writer’s classmates.             D．The writer’s mother.‎ 答案 41.B 42.C43.D ‎ ‎41.解析：这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了一个关于母爱的故事，充分表现了母亲对子女的爱。‎ ‎42.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段“In fact，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely，strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.”可判断出她想让自己的孩子幸福、强壮。‎ ‎43.解析：根据最后一句“That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.”可判断出是作者的母亲在她每个生日送给她一枝白色的栀子花。‎ 第42题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷Ⅱ（不含听力卷）)‎ ‎       Last year my sixth-grader daughter ,Elizabeth ,was forced to put up with science .Her education week after week ,contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte” She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fu-sion（核聚变） “—never mind that she hasn’t the least idea of what nuclear fusion means .Eliza—beth did very well (she’s good at memorizing things ). And now she hates science .My eighth-grader son ,Ben ,also suffered from science education .

Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He' d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea. ‎ ‎      Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He' d eat after he' d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.‎ ‎     He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:‎ ‎     Gone to Michael' s. Back tonight, Tim.‎ ‎     The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.‎ ‎     The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday' s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.‎ ‎     The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.‎ ‎     Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.‎ ‎     He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious (神秘的) now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...‎ ‎43. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?‎ A. He left the house quietly. B.

The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.”可判断出Tim看见山洞的入口的原因是太阳光的变化。‎ ‎46.解析：这是一道判断正误题。根据倒数第二段“The beach was still empty.”可判断出在海滩上只有Tim一人。‎ ‎47.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据短文一开始描写Tim急忙离开家，到后来的impatiently可判断出Tim的情绪由渴望变为紧张。‎ 第44题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语上海卷)‎ ‎  “Come in, Kim.

With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of ‎ cash（现金）, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day. ‎ ‎      I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.‎ ‎     Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.‎ ‎      What had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.‎ ‎41. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______.‎ A. promised to obey the store rules   B. forgot to take any money with him C. hoped to have the food first and pay later  D. could not afford anything more expensive ‎42. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?‎ A. kind and lucky                 B. poor and lonely C. friendly and helpful         D. hurt and disappointed ‎43. The writer acted upon the store rules because___________.‎ A. he wanted to keep his present job B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman C. he considered the old man dishonest ‎ D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man ‎44. What does the writer learn from his experience?‎ A. Wealth is more important than anything else. B. Helping others is easier said than done.‎ C. Experience is better gained through practice.‎ D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.‎ 答案 41.C     42.B     43.A     44.B ‎ ‎41.解析：这是一道细节题。第一段“He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.”说明这位老人希望能先把食物拿走，以后再付钱。‎ ‎42.解析：这是一道推断题。根据第一段中“This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.”和第二段中“I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul， all alone in the world.”可推断出这位老人既贫穷又孤独。‎ ‎43.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“I felt stupid and unkind saying this， but I valued my job.”可判断出作者忠于商店的规则的原因是他想保住自己的工作。‎ ‎44.解析：这是一道主旨题。作者在短文一开头说“Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort， we can translate compassion into actions.”，这说明他通过这件事得到的教训是：帮助别人说比做容易。‎ 第46题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语浙江卷)‎ ‎       In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible. ‎ ‎      First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.‎ ‎      I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time— two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $100 a week.‎ ‎      But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors ‎ of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.‎ ‎     I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.‎ ‎49. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?‎ A. To pay for his schooling.           B. To save for his future.‎ C. To support his family.              D. To gain some experience.‎ ‎50. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT_______.‎ A. loading boxes in the freezing cold            B. having limited time for breaks C. working and studying at the same time   D. getting no pay for lunch time ‎51. What is the subject discussed in the text?‎ A. The writer’s unhappy school life. B. The writer’s eagerness to earn money.‎ C. The writer’s experience as a full-time worker. D. The writer’s hard work in an apple plant.‎ ‎52. How is the text organized?‎ A. Topic-Argument-Explanation B. Opinion-Discussion-Description C. Main idea-Comparison-Supporting examples D. Introduction-Supporting examples-Conclusion 答案 49.A      50.C     51.D     52.D ‎ ‎49.解析：这是一道细节题。第一段“In the course of working my way through school， I took many jobs I would rather forget.”说明作者做许多种工作的目的是交学费。‎ ‎50.解析：这是一道判断正误题。根据短文内容可判断出工作和学习同时进行不是用来描写工厂工作条件的恶劣的。‎ ‎51.解析：这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了作者在苹果加工厂的艰苦的工作。‎ ‎52.解析：这是一道文章结构题。这篇短文采用了“导言、举例说明和结论”的结构。‎ 第47题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语浙江卷)‎ 在第61至65题中，Susan, Mike, Jane, George和Tom正计划参加一个夏令营。阅读下面六个夏令营的介绍（选项A、B、C、D、E和F），选出符合各人需求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。 ‎ ‎61.

That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp. ‎ ‎       Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour .In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.‎ ‎       One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car, and not one of them saw it.‎ ‎       They reached a hill; but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.‎ ‎       “Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.‎ ‎       “Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.‎ ‎       “One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.‎ ‎       “Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.‎ ‎       “I’ve often wanted a ride in one; but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.‎ ‎       “Jump in,” said Rolls.‎ ‎       “Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “you can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”‎ ‎60．The policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that        .‎ ‎       A．they could watch the car coming from the other direction ‎       B．the car could go faster than four miles an hour ‎       C．they could make sure no one was in the way ‎       D．the car would not hit them on the road ‎61．In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?‎ ‎       A．They greeted Rolls when the car came along.‎ ‎       B．They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.‎ ‎       C．They pretended to be attracted by something else.‎ ‎       D．They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.‎ ‎62．The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to       .‎ ‎       A．teach Rolls a lesson       B．take a free ride home ‎       C．have a talk with Rolls    D．have a car ride experience ‎63．After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls       .‎ ‎       A．dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to ‎ ‎       B．could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance ‎       C．could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey ‎       D．drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge 答案 60.B 61.C   62.D   63.B ‎ ‎60.解析：这是一道推测题。Rolls想开快一点，所以才与警官交谈。警官命令警察当这辆车过的时候看别的路，因此推断这辆车可以超速。‎ ‎61.解析：这是一道细节题。从第三段说“当警察听见这辆车来的时候，他们开始对墙和前面的商店感兴趣”。‎ ‎62.解析：文中讲到警察很有兴趣地看着车，并且满怀期望地看着Rolls说他想开车，但是警察不能买车。并且后来他上了Rolls的车，因此判断他想体验乘车的感觉。‎ ‎63.解析：最后一段，警察坐下以后说“你可以随心所欲地下山。1.5英里内没有别的警察”，‎ 因此是一定距离内。‎ 第49题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语湖南卷)‎ ‎     We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band (乐队)?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman's voice came over his  loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket. ‎ ‎56. The policeman stopped the boys to ______.‎ ‎     A. put them into prison            B. give them a ticket ‎     C. enjoy their performance      D. ask some band questions ‎ ‎57.

The boys probably felt ______ when they drove off.‎ ‎     A.joyful               B. calm                 C. nervous          D. frightened  ‎ 答案 56.B 57.C58.A ‎ ‎56.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“Lecturing us，he said，‘You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?’”和最后一句中without a ticket可判断出由于作者超速行驶，违反了交通规则，警察要罚款。‎ ‎57.解析：这是一道细节题。从最后一句“The policeman enjoyed the performance，and sent us our way without a ticket.”可知，当他们演奏了警察所喜欢的乐曲，这位警察变得友好了。‎ ‎58.解析：这是一道推断题。根据故事的结局可判断出男孩们非常高兴。‎ 第50题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语重庆卷)‎ ‎      My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on. ‎ ‎     I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”‎ ‎   “What is?” I asked.‎ ‎   “To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves now that we’re in the situation we are in.”‎ ‎    “But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.‎ ‎      And that’s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feeling and fears of life---from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.‎ ‎     Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “ I guess that means you’ll want to go now.

London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill. ‎ ‎     Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk. ‎ ‎     Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says. “Talk to Me, ”they  attract conversationalists, who  one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits. ‎ ‎      They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion（宗教）. So what’s the point?‎ ‎“To see what happens, ”said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open communication（交流）. ”‎ ‎      Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks,  they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. ‎ ‎     “It started as a crazy idea, ”Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything：their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything. ”‎ ‎      Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. ‎ ‎      Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind, ”Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good. ”she explained. ‎ ‎       To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year.

It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read：“Mrs.  Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision（视觉模糊）ever since her medical test this morning. ”I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems. ‎ ‎      This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting（用……替代）St.  John’s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes. ‎ ‎      My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She’s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone. ‎ ‎      What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in：Mrs.  Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs.  Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why. ‎ ‎         Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known  she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs.  Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose（诊断）, treat and talk. That suggests trust：I must remember that, and trust them too. ‎ ‎61. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew______. ‎ A. Mrs.  Jones would ask for more tests B. the patient was being unreasonable C. the nurse was joking with him D. Mrs.  Jones would call him ‎62. What has caused Mrs.  Jones’ eye problem?‎ A. Wrong glasses.                                 B. Medical checkup. ‎ C. Her own imagination.                        D. Chatting on the Internet. ‎ ‎63. The underlined words“clouded her judgment”in the last paragraph probably mean______. ‎ A. made her less trustful toward the doctor B. put her in control of her own feelings C. made her less able to think clearly D. put her in a dangerous situation 答案 61. B              62. A              63. C ‎ 第54题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷Ⅲ)‎ ‎      The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7：30 p. m. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song. ‎ ‎      By 9：45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11：00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry. ‎ ‎     Their experience suggests that the words on printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6：30～8：30 p. m.  means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards;8：00 p. m.  or 8：30 p. m.  means possible dinner, but 9：30 p. m.  and any time thereafter means no food, cat beforehand, roll up late. ‎ ‎      But this is not always the case. If asked to a students’ party at 6：30 p.m., it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive－looking eager－is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6：30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group（late thirties）falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we’re young, we’re probably closer to student-time than grown-up time. ‎ ‎       The accepted custom at present is confusing（混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element（成分）of surprise. ‎ ‎68. The underlined words“off their heads”probably mean______. ‎ A. tired                     B. crazy                    C. curious                 D. hopeless ‎69. Jane and David’s story is used to show that______. ‎ A. party-goers usually get hungry at parties B. party invitations can be confusing C. people should ask for food at parties D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull ‎70. For some young people, arriving on time for a students’ party will probably be considered____. ‎ A. very difficult         B. particularly thoughtful C. friendly and polite D. socially unacceptable ‎71. According to the writer, people in their late thirties______. ‎ A. are likely to arrive late for a party B. care little about the party time C. haven’t really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties ‎72. What is the general idea of the text?‎ A. It’s safe to arrive late just when food is served. ‎ B. It’s wise to eat something before going to a party. ‎ C. It’s important to follow social rules of party-going. ‎ D. It’s necessary to read invitations carefully. ‎ 答案 68. B              69. B              70. D             71. A              72.

I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide. ‎ ‎    Then I looked at my financial（财政的）package. ‎ ‎    The cost of Dream School’s tuition（学费）, room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice. ‎ ‎    In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do. ‎ ‎    One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself. ‎ ‎    At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus （校园）including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be ‎ offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring. ‎ ‎    As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there. ‎ ‎    In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me. ‎ ‎  59. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter? ‎ ‎    A. He was full of joy. B. He was lost in his dream. ‎ ‎    C. He was worried about the money. D. He was uncertain which school to go to. ‎ ‎  60. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _________. ‎ ‎    A. honest                                   B. strict     C. supportive                    D. decisive ‎  61. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride”can be replaced by “_______”. ‎ ‎    A. would pay for transport to the school B. would show me around the campus ‎ ‎    C. would offer free meals at all events D. would charge me nothing for tuition ‎ ‎  62. What does the author mainly want to say? ‎ ‎    A. Your second-choice college may actually by your best fit. ‎ ‎    B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools. ‎ ‎    C. You should try your best to attend your dream school. ‎ ‎    D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame. ‎ 答案 59. A   60. C 61. D  62.

That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty. ‎ ‎    “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens（警笛）going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. ”‎ ‎    But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene. ‎ ‎     Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination （目的地）. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about. ‎ ‎    “Just about that time, ”Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop. ”‎ ‎    “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license（执照）. ”‎ ‎     That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty－a thousand dollars for the new engine－not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving. ‎ ‎  63. The meaning of “panicked”in Paragraph 2 is related to _____. ‎ ‎     A. shame                 B. hate      C. anger                     D. fear ‎  64. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway? ‎ ‎    A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road. ‎ ‎    B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene. ‎ ‎    C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him. ‎ ‎    D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder. ‎ ‎  65. Which of the following statements is true? ‎ ‎    A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person. ‎ ‎    B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene. ‎ ‎    C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car. ‎ ‎    D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40. ‎ ‎  66. The driver of the Firebird ______. ‎ ‎    A. took a wrong turn on the way B. had some trouble with his car ‎ ‎    C. was stopped by the police officer D. paid for the expenses of the accident ‎ ‎  67.

to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop.But the hours of work are very long—I was only doing a part-time job,but my boss put in a seventy-hour week,besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books. ‎ ‎      The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life,however,is that while I was in it I lost my love of books.A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books,and that gives him a dislike for them.There was a time when I really did love books-loved the sight and smell and feel of them—if they were fifty or more years old,that is.Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds.There is a peculiar flavour（独特的味道）about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection： little-known eighteenth-century poets,or out-of-date geography books.For occasional（偶尔的）reading—in your bath,for example,or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed—there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book.‎ ‎       But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books.Seen in a mass,five or ten thousand at a time,books were dull and even a little tiresome.Nowadays I do buy one occasionally,but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow,and I never buy rubbish.‎ ‎64.According to the passage,______is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop.‎ A.an educated shop-owner B.a good position at a street corner ‎ C.a regular journey out of the shop D.the force of large chain-stores ‎65.The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because______.‎ A.he hated his job of selling books B.selling books was only a part-time job C.the books in the shop gave him a dislike ‎ D.he was unable to be honest about the books he sold ‎66.The books preferred by the author should be those______.‎ A.stories making readers sleepless B.valuable ones bought on sale C.peculiar ones with great expectation D.geography ones from the eighteenth century ‎67.The author will only buy new books______.‎ A.if he feels dull and tired B.after he gives up his job as a bookseller C.which are interesting but hard to borrow D.when he throws away old ones 答案 64.A        65.D              66.B        67.C ‎ 第61题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语上海卷)‎ ‎      For almost two months Dominic York,a 23-year-old hairdresser,wandered about hospitals at night,wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor.Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications,he had saved several people’s lives.He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed. ‎ ‎     “I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself.So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the ‎ biggest hospitals in London.At first I just watched.Once you learn how doctors talk to patients,nurses and other doctors,it’s easy to take people in,”he said.‎ ‎     One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan.She had been knocked down by a car and fainted.When she came to in hospital,York was standing over her.‎ ‎     “He looked very professional.He told me his name was Doctor Simon.Then he gave me some sort of injection,”she said.And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was.She didn’t think there was anything wrong.“I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn’t showed me his photograph a week later.When the policewoman told me who he really was,I could hardly believe my ears.”‎ Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was“shocked and horrified”that he got away with his deceiving for so long,and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders.‎ ‎     “I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems.After all,you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there.If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free.I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,”Judge Adams warned York.‎ ‎75.York was proud of the fact that______.‎ A.a surgeon let him watch an operation B.he could perform some duties of a doctor C.he had cheated doctors for so long D.people thought he could become a real doctor ‎76.York learned how to behave like a doctor by______.‎ A.watching other doctors work B.talking to doctors and nurses C.getting some training and experience D.observing doctors while he was a patient ‎77.Why was Laura

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut, ”Joanna noted. ‎ ‎      Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk, ”said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which. ”‎ ‎      Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list, ”said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years, ”Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. ”‎ ‎       Parents who  know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. ‎ ‎56. “The door to his room is always shut”suggests that the son______. ‎ A. is always busy with his studies B. doesn’t want to be disturbed C. keeps himself away from his parents D. begins to dislike his parents ‎57.

B.It would be an easy race.‎ C.It would be a test of his strength. D.It would be a good learning experience.‎ ‎73.What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?‎ A.Peggy overtook the young runner. B.Peggy was running energetically.‎ C.Peggy was laughing at the writer. D.Peggy paid no attention to the writer.‎ ‎74.By saying“a long,punishing hill”（paragraph 5）,the writer implies that______.‎ A.Peggy would fail to reach the hilltop B.men are more skilled at climbing hills C.overtaking Peggy would be easy D.climbing the hill would be a demanding task ‎75.What lesson does the writer learn from the race?‎ A.Women are as good as men in sport. B.Women are better at climbing hills.‎ C.He should have more training in a cross-country race.‎ D.He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.‎ 答案 72.B        73.B        74.D              75.A ‎ 第65题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语福建卷)‎ ‎      A university graduate described as a“respectable and intelligent”woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of（证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months. ‎ ‎     Ana Luz,recently studying for her PhD,has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops.‎ ‎     Luz,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road,Cambridge,admitted stealing clothes worth ￡9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street,London,on March 9.‎ ‎     Phillip Lemoyne,prosecuting（起诉）,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store.When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置）.‎ ‎     She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying,Mr Lemoyne said.‎ He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.‎ ‎     Luz,28,was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff,defending,said she had never been in trouble with the police before that.‎ ‎    “She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this,”Miss Duff said.“she didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store.

Nothing worked. ‎ ‎      One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you. ”‎ ‎     I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences. ”Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. ”For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time, ”and hung up. ‎ ‎      Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally,  he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember ‎ that call from the headmaster last year? ”I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud. ”‎ ‎56.

because it was quaint（古雅）—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now. ‎ ‎    Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing. ‎ ‎     I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice. ‎ ‎     As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid. ‎ ‎     The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone. ‎ ‎56.

That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station. ‎ ‎      After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it. ”‎ ‎      When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work, ” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that. ”‎ ‎      I followed my dad’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. ‎ ‎      Of all the jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he’d be gone. ‎ ‎     Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble. ‎ ‎68.

500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto (聚居区).  She gave them new identities, foud them safe places with good-hearted Christians,  ‎ and kept the children’s real names buried in jars in her neighbours’ gardens.  ‎ ‎(The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, ‎ is being performed.  )At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.  C.  , to receive the Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture.  One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.  ‎ You risked your life to save the children.  ‎ ‎        I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don’t ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help.  During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.  ‎ ‎     How did you persuade parents to give up their children?‎ ‎     I had to answer honestly that I didn’t even know if we would get past the guards.  ‎ ‎     What was the most frightening moment?‎ ‎     When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed.  The children were in their best Sunday suits.  The priest was killed with them.  ‎ ‎     How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?‎ ‎     I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill.  They were told to remember their new names.  I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.  ‎ ‎     Did you tell your own two children what you did?‎ ‎     I never told them.  Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me .  I thought it was only normal to do so.  And it was a very painful subject.  It was always on my mind that I couldn’t do more.  ‎ ‎

in the 1980’s.  Among them:He-man, My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers.  Their appearance is surprising in an industry where all but classic toys like Barbie dolls tend to stay in the market for only a few years before they leave kid culture for good.  ‎ ‎       The return of toys introduced a generation ago, say experts, is largely a generational effect.  These toys were among the first to be marketed primarily through TV cartoons.  The result:The toys carried with them a much stronger brand identity than toys from previous ages.  When those who played with these toys during the 1980s began having hildren of their own, businessmen realized they could take advantage of parents’ emotional ties by bringing the toys back.  ‎ ‎      “We’re starting to see a lot of properties and products coming back now for the kids of Generation X, ”says Greg Livingston, vice president of Wondergroup, a children’s product marketing firm.  But other industry observers say this return-of-toy trend is more rooted in basic economics.  When the economy isn’t strong, they say , toy-makers become more careful.  ‎ ‎       One of the safest marketing techniques is bringing back toys that are proven successes.   “If you’re in the business of making and selling toys, you’re going to go the safest route, which is using proven brands, ”says Stephanie Oppenheimer, co-founder of the Oppenheimer Toy Co.  , an independent consumer group that rates toys.  Other companies use product ideas that have sold well in other countries, such as Japan.  Still, Ms.   Oppenheimer also believes that American consumers simply are not in the mood for new, high-tech toys anymore.   “People are interested less in what we wish we had and ‎ more in what we already have, ”says Oppenheimer.  “As a country, we’re looking for things that remind us of simpler times.  ”‎ ‎86.  The expression in the first paragraph“what’s old is new again”means that ‎ ‎  “______”.  ‎ ‎ A.both old and new toys are sold B.old and new toys are of the same price   C.old toys are in fashion again D.old toys have taken on new forms ‎87.  Which of the following is NOT listed as the cause for the return of the toys ‎ ‎ popular about two decades ago?‎ ‎ A.Generational effect.  B.Economic factors.‎ ‎ C.Marketing techniques. D.Fierce competition.  ‎ ‎88.  The expression “for good” in the second paragraph can be replaced by______.  ‎ ‎ A.for ever  B.for the future C.for the best D.for all ‎89.  The main purpose of the passage is____.  ‎ ‎ A. to introduce the development of kid culture in the past century ‎ B. to analyse the reappearance of toys popular in the 1980s ‎ C. to promote the marketing techniques of toy manufacturers ‎ D. to show the impact of high-tech toys on the kids of Generation X 答案 86.  C　　　　87.  D　　　　88.  A　　　　89.  B ‎ 第74题(年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语上海卷)‎ ‎      Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years，but she was not happy there.Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases.Martha felt that her supervisor，a younger and less experienced person than she，did not like her.In fact，the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her. ‎ One day，while talking with her friend Maria，she mentioned how discouraged she was.Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company.Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.‎ ‎      During the interview.Mr Petri said，“You're just the kind of person we need here.You're being wasted in your other job.Give me a call in a day or two.I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization.”Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.‎ ‎      That afternoon，Ruth Kenny，her supervisor，saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said，“Oh，so you finally decided to come back to work today?”‎ ‎     This was the last straw.She could not take another insult.Besides，Mr Petri was right:she was being wasted in this job.‎ ‎   “Look，”she said angrily，“if you don't like the way I work，I don't need to stay here.I'll go where I'm appreciated!Good-bye!”She took up her things and stormed out of the office.‎ ‎     That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria，“What do you think?”‎ ‎     “Well，”said Maria carefully，“are you sure about the other job?”‎ ‎     “Well，not exactly，but…”‎ ‎      Maria continued，“Will you be able to get a recommendation from Mrs.Kenny if you need one?”‎ ‎     “A recommendation?…from Mrs.Kcnny?”hesitated Martha，in a worried tone.‎ ‎     “Martha，I hope you didn't burn your bridges.”Maria said.“I think I would have handled it differently.”‎ ‎78.Martha is unhappy in her job because.‎ A.she has not advanced B.the work is not significant C.her supervisor is younger than she D.there is too much work with little payment ‎79.Which of the following statement is NOT true?‎ A.At her supervisor's criticism，Martha lost her temper.‎ B.Mr Petri felt Martha was not valued in her present job.‎ C.Martha's interview with the director was on her lunch hour.‎ D.Martha got the name of the director through her cousin.‎ ‎80.The phrase“the last straw”in the middle of the passage probably refers to.‎ A.the last opportunity B.the straw that saves Martha's life C.the last reminder D.the final unpleasant thing ‎81.What does Maria think of Martha's decision?‎ A.Martha has handled the matter properly.

But it really doesn’t have to be that way,” said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called“A Party in a Basket. ”Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything. ‎ ‎      Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket. ‎ ‎       “Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said,“ and they’re very interactive (互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations. ”‎ ‎      The standard $200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like.

His victim，who picked up the ticket，then claimed the ￡25 000 prize，managed to trace him，and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci，58，was changing a tyre on an Italian motorway. Another motorist，who stopped“to help”，stole a suitcase from his car and drove off.

I can’t say that I enjoyed it，but it was an experience I’ll never forget. ‎ ‎        I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales；where did they all come from？Now I know the secret! Firstly，there is the special winter stock（货物）and the stock that people buy all the year round；some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly，there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year；these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly，there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales；these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly，they buy in “seconds”（clothes not in perfect condition）for the sale and they are sold very cheaply. ‎ ‎          When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale，there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. ‎ ‎           When the big moment arrived to open the doors，the security guards，looking less confident than usual，came up to them，keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors，they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes；this wasn’t shopping，it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. ‎ ‎           Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes，colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl（爬行）through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves. ‎ ‎           Within minutes I had half a dozen  people pushing clothes under my nose，each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone？The whole day continued like that，but I kept my temper（脾气）!I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why，twice a year，Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. ‎ ‎          In the sale fever，people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying.  As long as it was a bargain it was OK. ‎ You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed，fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale. ‎ ‎56. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper？‎ A. Last summer’s clothes. B. Clothes not in perfect condition. ‎ C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter. ‎ ‎57. Which of the following statements is true？‎ A. The customers gave up the queuing，for which the English are famous. ‎ B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted. ‎ C.

Winter enjoys things like friendships，colours and laughter every day. ‎ ‎       The young man saved Winter’s life by signing an organ donor card（器官捐献卡）. ‎ ‎      “I can’t say thank you enough. ”Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital. ‎ ‎        What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation. ‎ ‎      His liver（肝脏）went to Winter. who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think of what a painful thing it must have been for them”. Winter said yesterday. ‎ ‎    “They are very，very special people. ”‎ ‎      Winter，63，is fitter now than he has 10 years ago，when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more next year in Japan. ‎ ‎     “At one time，we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it’s expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before. Only better. ”‎ ‎       The biggest change for Winter，however，isn’t that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his life now. ‎ ‎      “I have no time for arguments，”said Winter. ‎ ‎       “You change everything. Material things don’t mean as much. Friendships mean a lot. ”‎ ‎        Also at yesterday’s news conference was Dr. Gray Levy，Winter’s doctor. ‎ ‎        Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits. ‎ ‎        Levy knows that for every recipient（接受者）like Winter，there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren’t enough donated organs. ‎ ‎       “For every Mr. Winter，we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given. ”Levy said. ‎ ‎        Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States，hospitals receive $10 000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room，doctors，nurses and teams to work with the donors’ families. ‎ ‎72.

How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking? ‎ ‎    What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?‎ ‎    Betty shrugs. Talk? We’re friends.‎ ‎    Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear：women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is“marked and unmistakable.”‎ ‎    More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机).“Most women,”says Rubin,“identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”‎ ‎    “In general,”writes Rubin in her new book,“women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.”For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of“manly behavior.”‎ ‎    “Even when a man is said to be a best friend,”Rubin writes,“the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”‎ ‎71.What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that     .‎ ‎  A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband ‎  B.women have so much to share C.women show little interest in ballgames ‎  D.he finds his wife difficult to talk to ‎72.Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to      .‎ ‎  A.a male friend                  B.a female friend ‎  C.her parents                                  D.her husband ‎73.According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?‎ ‎   A.Ending his marriage without good reason. B.Spending too much time with his friends.‎ ‎   C.Complaining about his marriage trouble. D.Going out to ballgames too often.‎ ‎74.Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?‎ ‎  A.Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.‎ ‎  B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.‎ ‎  C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.‎ ‎  D.Women depend on others in making decisions.‎ ‎75.The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around      .‎ ‎  A.happy and successful marriages B.friendships of men and women ‎  C.emotional problems in marriage D.interactions between men and women 答案 71.B        72.B        73.C              74.A              75.B ‎ 第83题(2001年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语上海卷)‎ ‎     One evening after dinner，Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting.“We’re had to make a difficult decision,”Mr.Tisich announced.“You see,your mother has been offered a post as codirector of a television station in Chicago.Unfortunately,the station is not here.After thinking long and hard about it,we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.” ‎ ‎     Marc looked shocked,while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving.“It’s surprising,but exciting!”she said. Marc simply said,“We can’t go — I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”‎ ‎      The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August,Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving.However,he showed no signs of accepting the news,refusing to pack his belongings.‎ ‎      When the morning of the move arrived,Marc was nowhere to be found.His parents called Tommy Lyons’s house,but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.‎ ‎      What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house,with a faint idea of hiding in the Lyons’s attic（阁楼）for a few days.But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood：the fence that he and his mother painted,the tree that he and his sister used to climb,the park where he and his father often took evening walks together.How much would these mean without his family,who make them special in the first place?Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons（纸板箱）the right size to hold his record collection.‎ ‎71.The conflict in this story was caused by______.‎ A.Marc and Rachel’s different tempers B.a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc C.Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move D.Mr. and Mrs. Tisich’s remark of Marc’s irresponsibility ‎72.Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were______.‎ A.surprised                B.angry and upset C.anxious for more details ‎ D.worried about packing ‎73.The reason for Marc’s going home was that_______.‎ A.he did not want to be left behind B.he realized his family was essential to him C.he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents D.he wished to be a more responsible person ‎74.What would most likely happen next?‎ A.Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house.‎ B.Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.

After arriving, we all rushed down to the river had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded（环绕）by cliffs （悬崖）.If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.‎ ‎       Several days later, the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.‎ ‎       We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river— we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.‎ ‎       An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.‎ ‎       When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.‎ ‎       Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.‎ ‎55．The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.‎ A．the story of his childhood   B．a strange camping experience C．about a stranger by the river   D．about a good place for camping.‎ ‎56．Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?‎ A．They wanted to delay going to the river bank.‎ B．They were waiting for their scoutmaster.

I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work. ‎ ‎      While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said,“Mr Castle, how are you?”We talked about this and that. As he left, he said,“It was nice talking to you, Brett.”I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put“Irving”down on my name plate. If he’d have said,“Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?”I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.‎ ‎       The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was：you couldn’t accept tips（小费）.Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction（反应）is to take a quarter and give it me. I’d say,“I’m sorry, I can’t”They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say,“Oh, thanks a lot.”When you say,“I’m sorry, I can’t”they feel a little put down. They say,“No one will know.”And they put it in your pocket. You say,“I really can’t”It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically（身体上）to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.‎ ‎      I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed.

Looking out,I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin，holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container.When I came out of the house，he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin.Picking up the stick again，he held the lid up enough for me to see.I felt cold.But I stepped closer and looked harder.Without doubt it was my work.The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast（酵母）made the surface shake and ‎ sigh as though it were breathing.It looked like some unknown being from outer space.I could see why Doug was so shaken.I had to admit what the“living thing”was and why it was there.I don’t know who was more embarrassed（尴尬）by the whole thing-Doug or me. ‎ ‎54.The writer’s purpose in writing this story is         .‎ ‎  A.to tell an interesting experience B.to show the easiest way out of a difficulty ‎  C.to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman ‎  D.to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books ‎55.Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful？‎ ‎  A.The canned orange had gone bad.

His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. ‎ ‎　　“J.C.” ,he replied. ‎ ‎　　She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name. ‎ ‎　　Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. ‎ ‎　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. ‎ ‎　　The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic（体育的）but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners. ‎ ‎　　“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.” ‎ ‎　　Having returned from Berlin. He received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.‎ ‎　　Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. ‎ ‎　　“Sure, it bothered（烦扰）me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.” ‎ ‎　　In time, however, his gold medals(奖牌)changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.” ‎ ‎55. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________. ‎ ‎　　A. he went to Ohio State University B. his teacher made fun of him ‎ ‎　　C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse” D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet ‎ ‎56. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________. ‎ ‎　　A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records ‎ ‎　　C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events ‎ ‎57.

The bag contained a book. ‎ ‎     This chance discovery ended a 12day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure -- a 120-page -diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green, the librarian told the magazine America Libraries.‎ ‎     Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English.‎ ‎       The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary to his ancestor (祖先) to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.‎ ‎      Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoor was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.‎ ‎       Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “I've felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told reporters.‎ ‎        According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward (奖励) of $1 000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It's wonderful news. I'm on high.”‎ ‎51.

The big question is why.‎ ‎     There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.‎ ‎     Myth Number One: It's best to be“thrown clear”of a serious accident.‎ ‎     Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.‎ ‎     Myth Number Two: Safety-bets “trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. ‎ ‎     Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.‎ ‎     Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).‎ ‎     Truth : When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.‎ ‎62. Why did Elizabeth say to her father,“But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?‎ A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street.‎ C. He didn't have his safety belt on. D. He didn't take his medicine on time.‎ ‎63. The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he _______.‎ A. wasn't feeling very well                B. hated to drive in the dark C. wanted to take some exercise     D. didn't want to be caught by the people ‎64. According to the text, to be “thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you _______.‎ A. may be knocked down by other cars B. may get serious hurt thrown out of the car C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat D. may get caught in the car door ‎65. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _______.‎ A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident C. they will be caught when help comes D. cars catch fire easily ‎66. What is the advice given in the test?‎ A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour. B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.‎ C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.‎ D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.‎ 答案 ‎ ‎62.答案：C。‎ 解析：这是一道句意理解题。从第二自然段Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of US population make every day.可知，他女儿说这句话的意思是他没有扎安全带。‎ ‎63.答案：C。‎ 解析：这是一道细节题。从第二自然段Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-'a mistake 75% of US population make every day.可知，他忘记扎安全带的原因是他想赶快回家跑步，即进行体育锻炼 ‎64.答案：B。‎ 解析：这是一道细节题。从第五自然段Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twentyfive times in cases where people are“thrown clear".可知，“thrown clear"可能造成伤害和死亡。其原因是当发生交通事故一个人如果从车中跳出来，着路时就会十分危险。同时从车中跳出必然要穿过挡风玻璃或车门，就可能造成伤亡。‎ ‎65.答案：A。‎ 解析：这是一道理解题。从Myth Number Two中 Safetybets “trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.可知，人们误认为，如果扎上安全带，当汽车着火或沉入水中时，驾驶员就无法逃出车外。‎ ‎66答案：C。‎ 解析：这是一道归纳理解题。从整篇文章看，主要告诉人们开车时应系好安全带。‎ 第94题(1999年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语上海卷)‎ ‎      One day an ordinary dog appeared in the ticket office at Campiglia, a busy railroad station on Italy's main line. A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio's shadow and was named Lampo. ‎ ‎      Lampo kept Elvio Company (陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform. When it came time for Elvio to return home on the train at night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station.‎ ‎      One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the dog. Lampo came home with Elvio and met his family. Then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules (时刻表). He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, Lampo arrived at Elvio's house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11:30.‎ ‎      Soon, Lampo began to take the train all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.‎ ‎     Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo's illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.‎ ‎       Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio's office. Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio's help to board the train.‎ ‎      One day Lampo was seen lying dead on the tracks. A year later, a life sized statue of Lampo was set up at Campiglia station.‎ ‎66. The first time Lampo took the train, Elvio was ______.‎ ‎ A. delighted that he was lucky B. afraid the dog would bite someone ‎ C. afraid the conductor would see him and be angry ‎ D. excited that Lampo would soon meet his family ‎67.
