小題1:從下文作者提議進(jìn)行棋賽,可知“女兒一直不停地邀請我和她下棋”。
小題2:接受“窩”的建議,用accept。
小題3:從下文“女兒睡覺要到了”可知“女兒問我是否可以把棋子走快一點(diǎn)”。
小題4:need to do需要做某事,從上文的at nine o’clock和下文的she had to get up at six in the morning.可知她需要早起。
小題5:know知道,清楚。Learn學(xué)會(huì),了解到(從別人那里間接知道)
小題6:從上下文可知語意在此轉(zhuǎn)折。女兒需要睡覺了,可“我”卻認(rèn)為女兒能否改變一下這些嚴(yán)格的作息時(shí)間。
小題7:put up掛起;take up從事,占據(jù);pick up撿起,拾起;give up放棄。
小題8:as usual像往常一樣;go ahead開始做,著手干; by the way順便問一下;come on加把勁,加油,得了吧。只有come on符合語境,因?yàn)樗麄兺娴谜吲d,“我”不希望這么早就結(jié)束比賽,希望女兒再呆一會(huì)兒,和自己多下幾局。
小題9:從上文要求女兒再多呆一會(huì)兒可知“因?yàn)檎谂d頭上”,不愿結(jié)束比賽。We’re having fun我們玩得正高興。
小題10:“我”要求女兒多呆一會(huì)兒以陪自己多下幾局棋,耽擱了女兒的睡覺時(shí)間,故女兒看起來有點(diǎn)“焦急,著急”。
小題11:句意是“如果你要下好棋,你就要下慢一些”。只有well符合句意。
小題12:句意是“我們又繼續(xù)下了另外10分鐘”。
小題13:nervously緊張地;immediately立刻;strangely奇怪地;suddenly突然。
小題14:句意是“直到女兒放聲大哭并且承認(rèn)自己被打敗”。只有admit符合句意。
【高考考點(diǎn)】動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。
小題15:make a mistake犯錯(cuò);make a decision做決定;make an attempt企圖,盡力;make an effort努力。從下文的So I had to change可知我犯了一個(gè)錯(cuò)。
小題16:與第一段開始句子One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter相呼應(yīng)。
小題17:allow sb./sth. to do允許……做……。作者本打算借和女兒下棋搞好父女關(guān)系,結(jié)果卻讓求勝的私心占據(jù)了。
小題18:important重要的;attractive引人注目得;practical實(shí)際的,實(shí)用的;interesting有趣的。求勝的私欲變得比良好的父女關(guān)系更重要。故只有important符合句意。
小題19:offer提供;serve服務(wù),對……有用;control控制;teach教。語意是“我小時(shí)候求勝心就很強(qiáng)”。
小題20:“作為人父,我意識到這種求勝私欲擋住了父女關(guān)系的發(fā)展,我必須得改”,故realize符合題意。

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(棲息地) 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(放大鏡) , ‘Look at the leaves.’ I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼蟲) 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. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
41. When he was young, Arthur Bonner _______.
A. broke the law and ended up in prison           B. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom
C. often laughed at people on the streets            D. often caught butterflies and took them home
42. Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he _______.
A. found the butterfly had died out                   B. won many prizes from his professor
C. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biology        D. collected butterflies and put them into a lab
43. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has _________.
A. made Bonner famous                B. changed Bonner’s life
C. brought Bonner wealth              D. enriched Bonner’s knowledge
44. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A Promise to Mom                         B. A Man Saved by Butterflies
C. A Story of Butterflies                     D. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni

“Yes I do, ”He replied. “You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the God announces which
girl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride(新娘) was pointed out to me. Then the God added, ‘But your wife will be humpbacked. ’”“Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh God, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy(不幸). Please, God, give me the hump and let her be beautiful. ’”

閱讀理解: 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (標(biāo)簽). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple
This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits. w*w*When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.
1. The article is intended to______.  
A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D. predict the applications of RFID technology
2. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people        .
A. will have no trouble getting data about others
B. will have more energy for conversation
C. will have more time to make friends
D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer
3. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of        .
A. scanning devices          B. radio waves   C. batteries                  D. chips
4. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?
A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B. Because market competition will become more fierce.
C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.
D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
5. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology        .
A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B. will be widely used, including for buying milk
C. will be limited to communication uses
D. will probably be used for pop music
