It was Thanksgiving morning. In the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey1the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in2clothes and thin little sandals(涼鞋), staying together at the door on the top step.
“Any old3, lady？” asked one of them.
I was4. I wanted to say “no” until my eyes were5their sandals, which were wet with heavy snow.
“6 and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked7and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the8. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight9the freezing cold outside.10 I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget for Thanksgiving Day.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice，“Lady, are you11？”
I looked at my old sofa covers（沙發(fā)套）. The girl put her cup back in its saucer(托盤)12 and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was13with a need that no amount of food could
supply. They left after that，14 their papers against the wind. They hadn't said “Thank you.” They didn't need to. They had15me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were16worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job—these17 ， too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and18the living room. The muddy(沾上泥的)19 of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to20how rich I am.

【解析】本文屬于記敘文，圣誕節(jié)時(shí)來到我家收舊報(bào)紙的兩個(gè)孩子讓我意識(shí)到我是多么的富有，這提醒我要對(duì)生活有感恩之心。

⑴考查固定句式。句式be doing sth when....正在做某事在這時(shí).....；其中的when是并列連詞，后句通常表示意料之外的事情。我正忙于準(zhǔn)備圣誕火雞，在這時(shí)門鈴響了。故C項(xiàng)正確。

⑵考查上下文串聯(lián)。在圣誕節(jié)這一個(gè)全家團(tuán)圓的日子還出來收舊報(bào)紙，說明這兩個(gè)孩子很窮。BCD三項(xiàng)與語境不符。故A正確。

⑶考查上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)49空49 their papers可知他們是收舊報(bào)紙的。故B正確。

⑷考查上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)第一段第二句I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey可知當(dāng)時(shí)我正忙于準(zhǔn)備火雞大餐。故C項(xiàng)正確。

⑸考查固定搭配。短語fix one's eyes on...聚焦于....；本句中名詞短語my eyes提前至句首，后面使用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。我的注意力聚焦到他們穿的涼鞋上，圣誕節(jié)在冬天，他們還穿涼鞋，這引起了我的注意。故A正確。

⑹考查上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)36空后the doorbell rang可知他們敲門了，我看到他們還穿著涼鞋，就讓他們進(jìn)來。故D正確。

⑺考查動(dòng)詞短語。短語come over走過來；come out出版；come off脫落；come on加油；我讓他們進(jìn)來，他們就走了過來并坐在桌子旁邊。與BCD三項(xiàng)語義不搭配。故A項(xiàng)正確。

⑻考查常識(shí)。他們還穿著涼鞋，涼鞋會(huì)在地板上留下痕跡。故B項(xiàng)符合生活常識(shí)。

⑼考查介詞辨析。介詞about關(guān)于；against對(duì)抗，逆著；依靠；for為了；in在...里面；我給他們可樂和面包果醬抵御外面的嚴(yán)寒。根據(jù)句意可知B項(xiàng)正確。

⑽考查詞義辨析。副詞thus結(jié)果是；but但是；then接著；so于是；本句表示上下文的順接關(guān)系。接著我去廚房繼續(xù)準(zhǔn)備圣誕節(jié)大餐。上下文沒有因果或轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故C項(xiàng)正確。

⑾考查上下文串聯(lián)。這兩個(gè)孩子很窮，在他們眼里“我”算是富人，所以男孩才會(huì)問我。且和55空后how rich I am保持一致。故A正確。

⑿考查副詞辨析。副詞curiously好奇地；hopefully充滿希望地；carefully細(xì)心地；silently安靜地；女孩很細(xì)心地把杯子放回托盤里，生怕弄碎了。說明女孩子很拘謹(jǐn)。故C項(xiàng)正確。

⒀考查形容詞辨析。形容詞hungry渴望的；pleasant愉快的；deep深入的；cold寒冷的；我的聲音中充滿了一種渴望，而這種渴望是食物無法給與的，女孩渴望得到溫暖的家庭的關(guān)愛。故A項(xiàng)正確。

⒁考查動(dòng)詞辨析。動(dòng)詞turn轉(zhuǎn)向；deliver投遞，發(fā)表；push推；hold緊握；后來這兩個(gè)孩子走了，緊握住報(bào)紙。ABC三項(xiàng)與句意不符。故D項(xiàng)正確。

⒂考查動(dòng)詞辨析。動(dòng)詞remind提醒；promise允諾；persuade說服；tell告知；雖然孩子們沒有說“謝謝你”，但他們不必說。他們已經(jīng)提醒我有太多要感激的東西了。BCD與句意不搭配。

⒃考查上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)后句But they matched可知雖然china cups 和 saucers只值一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)錢，但是他們很配。所以使用副詞only表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。故D正確。

⒄考查上下文串聯(lián)。動(dòng)詞match匹配；work工作，起作用；mix混合；agree同意；之前孩子們說china cups 和 saucers很配，現(xiàn)在我生活中的很多事物都很配。故A正確。

⒅考查動(dòng)詞辨析。動(dòng)詞decorate裝飾；equip裝備；empty清空；clean清理；吃完東西以后我要把起居室清理干凈。與“裝飾、裝備和清空”無關(guān)。故D項(xiàng)正確。

⒆考查上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)43空前Their wet sandals left marks可知孩子們的涼鞋在地上留下了痕跡，我要讓他們多留一會(huì)。以提醒我對(duì)生活心存感激。故B項(xiàng)正確。

⒇C 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。動(dòng)詞realize意識(shí)到；doubt懷疑；forget忘記；prove證明；我要讓孩子們留下的痕跡多留一會(huì)，以防我忘記自己是多么的富有。故C項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】Christmas was near a season that we took seriously in our house. But a week or so before the 25th, my father would give each of his children $ 20. This was the 1970s, and $ 20 was quite a bit of money.

But I saw it differently. My father trusted me to have the smart to spend money wisely. Even better, he gave me the means to get it. On a very basic level, my father was giving me a shopping spree (狂歡) every year.. But he was also giving me charge over my own fun, trusting my ability to manage money and making me feel like a grown-up. He didn’t buy me Sherlock Holmes, but he gave me the means to walk into the bookstore and choose it for myself, so it felt like a gift from him.

My mother had a gift for giving me what I needed, usually right at the moment I needed it most. This was when I was 25, I failed at being an adult on my very first try. I had quitted my previous job but had no new one. But when my mother paid me a visit, I put on a good show, telling her I had started my own company.

My mother knew that I was trying hard and failing at that time. It wasn’t until after she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelope thick with cash. She knew how desperately I needed it. She knew that had she just shown up with groceries, or offered to pay my rent, she would have made me feel much worse. The cold, hard cash meant she was helping me. And, funnily enough, the distance with which she gave the gift felt like she was giving me space to fix my life and preserve my dignity. My mother and father both did the same thing. One was giving me the means to take my own decisions, and the other was giving me a second chance when those decisions had cost me dearly.

【1】What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?

A. His family once celebrated Christmas happily.

B. His father gave the author chances to make decisions.

C. His best memories about Christmas were in the 1970s.

D. He used to choose books as his father’s gift on Christmas.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. money offered by his father. B. father generous with money.

C. Christmas being important. D. the means of spending money.

【3】When he was 25 years old, the author .

A. planned to open his company B. became interested in shows

C. gave his mother a gift D. was out of work

【4】Which word can best describe the author’s mother?

A. sensitive. B. optimistic.

C. considerate. D. determined.

【題目】閱讀理解
I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It struck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left. The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn't have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Mountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633foot Humphreys Peak in Arizona, plant life changes greatly. In the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless tundra(凍土帶) on the top of the mountain. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called “communities” －groupings of species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and are frequently to be found together. Scientists study the history of plant life and build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the present, permanent?
A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when small changes in the earth's orbit caused great sheets of ice to spread from poles. These glaciers(冰川) covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to occupy, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they release pollen(花粉). Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom and mix with the sand. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of the plant life around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of plants moved north together. Things that lived together in the past don't live together now, and things that live together now didn't live together in the past. Each individual living things moved at its own pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving them room to move about－to respond to environmental changes.
（1）According to the passage, the movement of individual species of plants ________.
A.occurs in groups
B.often depends upon the formation of lakes
C.does not occur in groups
D.depends upon climate and soil conditions
（2）All of the following are true EXCEPT ________.
A.The ice age occurred when there were small changes in the orbit of the earth
B.fossil records seem to indicate that plants will be preserved if they have enough room to move
C.fossil records clearly show that entire groups of plants are unlikely to have moved together
D.in the ice age glaciers covered the world to depths of up to two miles
（3）The underlined word “which” refers to ________.
A.the responses of plants to climate changes
B.the current theories of ecosystems
C.the development of ecosystems
D.plant life changes
（4）The second paragraph is intended to ________.
A.support the main idea of the first paragraph
B.answer the question raised in first paragraph
C.make suggestions about responding to environmental changes
D.stress the importance of preserving species

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!
I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centers throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more.
I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for indiviudals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot—be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!
（1）What is Futuroscope?
A.A theme park for children in America.
B.A theme park that provides only fun and excitement.
C.A theme park that provides people with outstanding experience without leaving the earth and the present time.
D.A theme park that uses the most advanced technology to take people out of the earth and the present time.
（2）What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The things I did at Futuroscope.
B.The history of Futuroscope.
C.General information about how to visit the park.
D.A general description of the park.
（3）According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.Most of us will go to the bottom of the ocean or to the edges of the solar system.
B.Future theme parks are places for fun and excitement but not for learning.
C.Future theme parks allow people to see and do things without danger but with much money.
D.In the future theme parks, there are learning centers for people to try scientific experiments.

【題目】Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation (發(fā)行). The “Daily Mirror “ and the “Daily express” both sell about four million copies everyday. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.

Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and county area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own financially (財(cái)政) and many of them are very profitable (賺錢的).

These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events—births, weddings, deaths, council (地方會(huì)議) meetings and sports. Editors prefer to rely on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out to date as quickly as national news.

The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising (廣告). He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the business men are grateful for the opportunity (機(jī)會(huì)) to keep their products in the public eyes.

【1】Visitors to Britain are surprised to learn that ________.

A. there are so many local newspapers there

【題目】Scientists think they have answered a mystery: How some ocean creatures got so huge so quickly.

A few million years ago, the largest whales, averaged about 15 feet long. Then seemingly overnight, one type of whale, the toothless baleen whale（須鯨類）became huge. Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet. Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum said, “Why is that?” ”It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye, which makes it harder to figure out what happened,” said Graham Slater, lead author of the study. Their study has suggested an answer: Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years started it, changing the oceans and food supply for whales.

The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for baleen whales which include blue whales, humpbacks and right whales. Using computer simulations（模擬）and knowledge about how evolution works, they concluded that when the size changes started, the poles got colder, ice expanded and the water circulation in the oceans changed and winds shifted, Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved closer to the equator(赤道）and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other small animals that whales eat.

Baleen whale, which have no teeth, feed by eating huge amounts of fish they capture. Toothed whales, like sperm whales (抹香鯨), hunt individual fish, so the ocean chants that made food less evenly spread out didn’t affect them as much. But baleen whales hunt schools of fish.

Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it “a really convincing situation”. But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue. As oceans warm from man-made climate change, the seas will be more like it was when the whales smaller and they will have a more difficult time surviving.

【1】What does the author mean by “It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye” in the second paragraph?

A. The change of baleen whales happened too quickly.

B. The change of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.

C. Researchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whales.

D. Researchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant.

【2】What played the key role in baleen whales’ becoming huge?

A. Man-made climate change.

B. Its eating a huge amount of fish.

C. The water circulation in the oceans.

D. The increase of food supply for whales.

【3】What do we know about sperm whales and blue whales according to the text?

A. Sperm whales eat more food.

B. Blue whaler live much longer.

C. Sperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.

D. Blue whales usually swallow schools of fish.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. There are no whale fossils now.

B. The whales may become even bigger.

C. Global warming has threatened the whales.

D. Olivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.
