試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了過去美國由于交通不便，人們主要是騎馬出行，這經(jīng)常使得衣服沾滿泥水。一天，美國副總統(tǒng)杰佛遜來到一家鄉(xiāng)村小旅店，由于衣服臟而被不知情的店主拒絕入住，后來在旁人的指點(diǎn)下，店主慌忙請其入住，但這種以貌取人的做法自然是于事無補(bǔ)。
小題1:考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。It’s+adj.+to do sth是一個(gè)固定句型，表示做某事是怎樣的。it wasn’t easy to get from one town or city to …(從一個(gè)城市到另一個(gè)城市是不容易的），故選C。
小題2:考查不定代詞及語境的理解。Other：別的、其他的，the other：（兩者中的）另一個(gè)，another：（泛指）另一、又一，不與定冠詞連用。根據(jù)上下文可知，這里是指美國任何一個(gè)不確定的城。故選C。
小題3:考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。“騎馬”應(yīng)表達(dá)為ride a horse。由于是敘述過去的事情，時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)用過去時(shí)，故選C。
小題4:考查介詞及語境的理解。for常用來指“為……準(zhǔn)備”、“適合……”，to/at 表示動(dòng)作指向的對象,of表示部分或從屬關(guān)系。根據(jù)語境，這里應(yīng)該是指“有沒有一個(gè)為我準(zhǔn)備（適合我）的房間”。故應(yīng)選A。
小題5:考查固定短語及語境的理解。want sb to do sths是固定用法，表示“想要某人做某事”，在文中，店主不想讓“這個(gè)人”住在這里。故選B。
小題6:考查副詞及語境的理解。本句暗含比較意義，即：我們沒有更多的房間了。more 是many,much是比較級。not …any more表示“不再……”，故選D。
小題7:考查形容詞及語境的理解。happy：高興的，開心的，sad：悲傷的、傷心的，afraid：害怕的，lucky：幸運(yùn)的。根據(jù)語境，當(dāng)?shù)曛鞯弥约壕芙^的是副總統(tǒng)時(shí)，當(dāng)然表現(xiàn)出害怕的神情。故選C。
小題8:考查介詞及語境的理解。根據(jù)語境，這里應(yīng)該是指“穿著臟衣服的”，在所給的詞中，in表示穿著的狀態(tài)。故應(yīng)選B。
小題9:考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。 hurry是不及物動(dòng)詞，不可直接接賓語，如要接賓語，要借助介詞to,即hurry to +地點(diǎn)，表示“匆忙向某地走去”。故應(yīng)選C。
小題10:考查副及語境的理解。too,also,either 均表示“也”的意思，但用法不同。too用于肯定句末，also用于句中，either用于否定句末。根據(jù)語境，如果沒有適合農(nóng)民的房間，也就沒有適合副總統(tǒng)的房間了。故應(yīng)選D。

On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little tired, as she was carrying her shopping bags.

When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself.

Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys.

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia（梔子花）was sent to my house. No card came with it．Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with 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 this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked afier when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the  coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether 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 gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.
