    As she walked round the huge department store,Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.She wish that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume
    Besides,shoppong at this time of the year was a most disgreeable experience :people trod on your toes,poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you overin their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.
    Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attracive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth double the price." But edit knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
    She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long : although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.
    When she got home,with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, "Your father has at last to decided to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.

    a.attractive

    Milk That Paid a Medical Bill

    One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through
    school found he had only one thin dime(10分钱)left,and he was hungry.
    He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve
    when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of
    water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it
    slowly,and then asked,"How much do I owe you?""You don't owe me anything,"she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."He said, "Then I
    thank you from my heart."
    As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in
    God and man was strong also.He had been ready to give up and quit.
    Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled(感
    到困惑).They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her
    rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name
    of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went
    down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see
    her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room determined to do
    his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long
    struggle,the battle was won.
    Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He
    looked at it;then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She
    feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally
    she looked,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She read these
    words:"Paid in full with one glass of milk."Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy
    heart prayed:"Thank You,God,that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts
    and hands."

    Dr. Kelly gave special attention to the case mainly because
    A: it was a rare disease.
    B: he fell in love with the woman.
    C: he was eager to distinguish himself.
    D: he wanted to repay the woman for her great kindness.

    A Heroic Woman
    The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
    ______(46)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side."I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,"she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian
    Nichols , 33 . He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.______(47)
    Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life."I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn't have a mummy",she said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from"The Purpose-Driven Life",a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph about"what you thought your purpose in life was,what talents were you given.______(48)
    "I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust."Smith said.
    Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her. He said he thought"I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brother",she said,"And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people."______(49)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道) of the police hunt for him."I cannot believe that's me."Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,"I think you should turn yourself in.If you don't,lots more people are going to get hurt."
    Eventually,he let her go.______(50)A US $ 60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols' capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有资格的)for that money.

    ______(50)
    A: The local police were searching for him.
    B: Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.
    C: Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
    D: She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.
    E: And the two of them discussed this topic.
    F: Then she called the police.

    答案:F
    解析:
    史密斯是一位单身母亲,26岁,有一个女儿。由于第二段的句子反复提到了她,因此,段落第一句应该是对于她的姓名和身份的说明。


    根据本文第二段最后事实的陈述,他连杀4个人,因此可以判断当地警察正在搜捕他,所以选A。


    然后他们两人讨论这个话题。前句提到了“读书”和“什么是生活的目的,你具有什么才能”等问题,因此,之后街接就这个话题的讨论。


    她甚至在被允许离开之前,为这个人做早饭。第五段选项之后的句子提到早饭的事情。因此,这里本句话的意思是应该相互街接。


    最后一段第一句:最后,他放了她。后来,她报了警。

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

    Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends.She probably goes to sleep______.
    A: on curled up
    B: on her stomach
    C: on her back
    D: on her side

    答案:B
    解析:
    整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征,外在的和内在的,说明和科学有关。
    跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
    由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
    从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知,保护自己不受到伤害,那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
    由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。

    Milk That Paid a Medical Bill

    One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through
    school found he had only one thin dime(10分钱)left,and he was hungry.
    He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve
    when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of
    water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it
    slowly,and then asked,"How much do I owe you?""You don't owe me anything,"she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."He said, "Then I
    thank you from my heart."
    As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in
    God and man was strong also.He had been ready to give up and quit.
    Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled(感
    到困惑).They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her
    rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name
    of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went
    down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see
    her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room determined to do
    his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long
    struggle,the battle was won.
    Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He
    looked at it;then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She
    feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally
    she looked,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She read these
    words:"Paid in full with one glass of milk."Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy
    heart prayed:"Thank You,God,that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts
    and hands."

    The boy sold goods from door to door because
    A: he wanted to help support his family.
    B: he needed money for school.
    C: he had to pay back a student loan.
    D: he did not have enough pocket money.

    答案:B

  • 第16题:

    When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on.I put up with her as long as I could.At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
    He listened to my outburst quietly.Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
    True?I wanted to know how to strike back.What did truth have to do with it?
    "Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
    I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
    For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
    I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.
    "That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it.But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt.When something said about you is true you'll know it.You'll find that it will echo inside you."
    Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.

    What can we infer from reading the passage?

    A.The girl benefited from her father's advic
    B.The girl was very often angry with her fathe
    C.The girl's father loved other people's advic
    D.The girl was easily hurt by her father

    Farmers' Markets

    Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.________(46)
    "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,"she said."There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"
    Oliver Robinson,25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire._________(47)"I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice,straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young,ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson,farming doesn't offer much"in terms of money or lifestyle".Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need,while working outdoors with nature."
    Farming is a big political issue in the UK._________(48)The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
    Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern spells(带来)hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.__________ (49)
    "I started going to Farmers' Markets in direct defiance(蔑视)of the big supermarkets."
    "________(50)It's terrible,"said Londoner Michael Samson.

    ________(50)
    A:But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.
    B:While most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.
    C:While confident they will succeed,she lists farming's many challenges.
    D:Young people prefer to live in cities.
    E:I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything一what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red?
    F:"Buy British"campaigns urge(鼓励)consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.

    答案:E
    解析:
    选项C说“虽然他们坚信自己会成功,但她仍然指出农耕中所面临的许多挑战”,接下来的句子说:"You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down",意思为“一天的休息时间也没有。超市给农民施加了很大的压力,要求把价格降下去”,显然,这些句子是对选项C的内容进行解释。选项C与这些句子的连接符合语篇中概述加分析的模式。
    空格前后句都是过去时态,由此推断空格处很可能出现过去时态的句子。选项A说“但是他从未考虑待在他父亲和祖父的农场”。空格前的句子说“罗宾逊,25岁,在约克郡的一个农场长大”,与答案句构成了逻辑上的转折关系。
    空格前句说“在英国,农耕是一个重大的政治问题”,空格后句说“2001年那场口蹄疫危机,关闭了成千上万家农场,停止了肉类食品的出口,使公众意识到了英国农业遇到的困境”。选项F说“‘购买英国制造的东西’的运动鼓励消费者不要买更便宜的进口食品”,这是个例子,用来解释说明前句提出的观点。
    空格前句说“这种全国性的关注给正在与强大的超市竞争的农民带来了希望”,选项B说“尽管大多数人会从大型超市购买食物,但是数以百计的自由市场变得越来越受欢迎”。从这两个句子所表述的意义来看,空格前句提出观点,选项B进行解释。
    空格前后都是过去时态,因此空格处也应为过去时态。选项E说“我反对任何超级型号的东西―他们究竟在我们的苹果上放了什么以使它们变得又大又红?",空格前句说“我开始去农贸市场买东西以蔑视大型超市”,与选项E之间形成意义上的对应关系。

    解析:
    由空后的病可知应填“诊断出(diagnosis) "。
    criticism of the sport意为“对该运动的批评”,中间应用介词of 。
    opposition后一般加to,表示“对······的反对”。
    take up为固定搭配,意为“从事”。
    have sb.do sth.意为“让某人做某事”,在此符合语境。
    空前的“fight”也是提示,此处表示首次亮相引起了广泛的注意。
    由空后的“just 31 seconds(只有31秒)”可知,应选unfortunately表示遗憾。
    此处应填关系词作主句的宾语且作从句的主语,故选B。
    此处表示Laila宁愿不和她父亲进行比较。
    Laila不想和父亲进行比较只想表演而已。
    通过父亲的所作所为;Laila意识到父亲是想让她意识到最糟糕的状况。故选A。
    when表示“当······时”,在此符合语境。
    struggle with sth.表示“与······斗争”,struggle with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease意 为“与帕金森病抗争”。
    因为前有mixture,故与praise相反的应是criticism。
