9．Christmas Eve was tomorrow．I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree．It was the only thing I wanted．I had been dropping hints to my parents．I love taking photos．My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom's old camera．I'm always trying to capture those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene，but my camera has always seemed to fall short．
    I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning，so I went on a hunt in my mom's room．I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat．I felt so disappointed．
    Mom seemed to notice that，and she tried to cheer me up．"Stacy，I got your present today．I am so excited to surprise you!""I can't wait，"I said．The next day I couldn't wait any longer．I needed to tell her．
"Mom，may I talk to you for a second？"
"Sure，dear．What do you need to talk about？"she asked．
    And so it came-how upset I was that I was getting a cat．
"Stacy，that cat is for your sister Julia!"she said with a smile．
"Then what am I getting？"I asked．
    She just smiled．"You'll have to wait and see．"
    Next morning，I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree．I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find…
    My camera!"Thank you!"I said to both Dad and Mom．
    Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia，Mom and me．It has become one of my favorite pictures．Just on that Christmas morning，I took lots of photos with my camera-my little sister making a face，my parents giving me a soft smile-and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me：love．
34．The underlined phrase"dropping hints"in Paragraph 1 meansB．
A．talking often        
B．suggesting indirectly
C．sending presents     
D．taking pictures
35．Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first？C
A．Her mother couldn't understand her at all．
B．Her mother didn't buy her any Christmas gift．
C．She mistook her sister's Christmas gift for hers．
D．She didn't find her present in her mom's room．
36．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment
B．her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas
C．Stacy thought it's OK to have an old camera
D．Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve
37．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．A Christmas gift as wished              
B．Love is more important than gifts
C．A wonderful Christmas．
D．Love can not be bought．

分析 本文敘述Stacy在圣誕節(jié)時想要一個禮物就是一部相機，可一次偶然的機會他看見了父母還沒有來得及包裝的禮物-粉紅的小貓玩具，他誤認為是父母給他的禮物，他很失望，結果等到打開禮物時，一看是自己想要的相機，高興極了，于是他給他的家人拍了許多照片，他感覺他收到了父母的愛．

解答 34．B．詞義猜測題．dropping hints暗示；根據(jù)上下文可知作者一直想要一個相機，總是暗示父母他的愿望，故選B．
35．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)I opened thedoor and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a bigpink cat．I felt so disappointed．他把給他的妹妹的禮物當成是給自己的，因為他先要的是相機而他看到的是一只粉紅色的小貓玩具，所以他很失望，故選C．
36．B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)She just smiled．"You'll have to wait and see．"他的母親笑著說的，可知母親知道他想要什么禮物，故選B．
37．A．標題歸納題．根據(jù)第一段I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree可知主要圍繞禮物而展開的，故選A．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

"You didn't give me a gift．"Fresh tears filled her eyes．
"I try to give you something．I know your birthday is a special day．I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life．I think hard and get an idea to give you an important lesson．If you open it on birthday，I see you learn．Then I will make a big party to celebrate，Maybe next year you listen，and then you will understand the gift better．"

17．If you are sitting，please stand up．Move your legs．Touch your toes if you can．Do anythin g but sit．New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting，you might live longer．Sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years．Cutting television time to less than two hours a day can add one point four years to life．
The human body is designed to move．The fact is just the opposite．Modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around．We sit while we're eating； we sit in the car； we sit while we are watching TV．And most of us sit for many hours at work．Sitting is something we do all the time．On average，Americans sit for four and a half to five hours a day．But that does not make sitting good for us．
Though you may exercise often，that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours．We can't throw away physical activity．It is extremely important．Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day，what goes on in the other 23 and a half hours a day is also very important．
Changes are coming to some offices，especially in the design of desks．A"standing desk"lets people stand while they work．Another new design is called the"treadmill desk"．It is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place．Even some U．S．schools begin to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving．
Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody．However，they may get five standing desks or a treadmill desk for their employees and put them in a certain place where people can go for an hour a day to answer their emails or talk on the phone．Experts suggest some other activities：take a walk at lunchtime； walk to the offices and talk directly instead of emailing colleagues．All these activities may help you live longer．
28．Why should people stand up according to the new research？C
A．They should touch their toes．
B．Standing more can cure some diseases．
C．Sitting less does people good and may help people live longer．
D．They spend too much time watching TV．

B．People usually have to sit for a long time nowadays．
C．The more people sit，the better they will be．

19．Living abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home？To make the experience truly worthwhile，there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad．This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment，or a clever move in your career development．You must also consider the costs，not just of living and studying abroad，but of applying．Most universities now charge application fees for international students．
If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad，your next step is to choose the right program of studies．Research your choices and select carefully．You must do your homework well．Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details．You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites．But read carefully．Different universities emphasize different strengths．Don't just think about the university's reputation （名聲）； look for the most suitable for your goals．
Next，you must deal with a large pile of paperwork．This involves filling in application form，preparing your school records，and getting reference letters．Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance．Sadly，many fine applicants get kicked out in the first round，simply because they don't follow the application procedure properly．
Money is another important consideration．Some scholarships are provided by governments，others by schools and colleges．This information，again，can be found on the Internet．If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you，follow the application procedure carefully； the earlier you apply，the better your chance of getting it．
58．A school ranking list tells youC．
A．how much the courses cost
B．the names of all the professors
C．how good the school is compared to others
D．where the school is located
59．What are the three basic steps when you apply？B
A．Buy an airplane ticket，read the instructions and requirements，and study．
B．Prepare reference letters，prepare school records，and fill in the application form．
C．Prepare school records，do paperwork，and work hard．
D．Write a reference letter，do paperwork，and study．
60．The underlined phrase"get kicked out in the first round"in Paragraph 3meansA．
A．fail to get to the next round
B．lose money in the first round
