14．I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed．It was time．The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights．I'd procrastinated long enough．
I got up，went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room．I prepared the boxes，and carefully placed the decorations of the tree in their protective packaging，pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite．"Hey，little Santa!"I held the Santa from my childhood．"Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years．"He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories．"Until next year，my dear friend．"
There was collection of handmade ones．My children made in their first years of school，more than twenty years ago．Made by tiny hands，they are far from perfect in design，but every year they go on my memory tree-memories of young giggles on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work．"Look what we made，Daddy!""Oh!It is beautiful．Let's find a special spot on the tree for it．"Every year since，they are displayed．
A few hours after I started，the filled boxes were back in the garage．The room was vacuumed and I sat staring at a barren corner．The room seemed so empty．It took me two days of work to assemble and decorate my tree，but only a few hours to take it apart．
My tree is a good marriage or a great friendship．Like the tree，they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories，but can be torn down quickly．All it takes is an unkind word or a thoughtless act，and what once stood proudly in the glow of love comes falling down．
Every，year I have to put my tree away，but not my marriage or friendships．I take great care of those．They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live．I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year．I can do the same with the loves in my life every day．When I held the Santa，a flood of 　　wonderful memories returned．The same happens when I hold my wife or see the smile of a friend across the room．
Take great care of your friendships and your marriage．Once they come down，they aren't as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree，if at all．Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow．
51．The underlined word"procrastinated"（in Para 1．） meansB．
A．prepared　　　　　　　　　　　 
B．delayed
C．a(chǎn)rranged 　　　　　　　　　　　
D．decorated
52．Which of the following can best describe the author's feeling while he was packing up the Christmas tree？D
A．Casual 　　　　　　　　　　　　
B．Uncaring
C．Content 　　　　　　　　　　　 
D．Unwilling
53．The author expresses his opinion about marriage and friendship byB．
A．quoting words from other people
B．comparing them to the Christmas tree
C．describing the Christmas tree and its decorations
D．illustrating his experiences of dealing with them
54．As to marriage and friendship，the author advisesB．
A．taking them as they come

D．treasuring them at all costs．

分析 作者通過自己拆卸圣誕樹的事情告訴我們友誼或者婚姻這些人與人之間的聯(lián)系很難建立，但是卻很容易就被破壞．我們應(yīng)該珍惜這樣的人際關(guān)系．

解答 51．B 詞義推斷題．由前一句The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room…得知圣誕節(jié)過去了一周，我還沒有把圣誕樹打包，也就是"延遲"做這件事．故選B．
52．D 理解推斷題．由第二段I prepared the boxes，and carefully placed the decorations of the tree in their protective packaging，pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite可知圣誕樹上的裝飾品勾起了作者許多美好的回憶，時不時讓他停下回想，因此在打包圣誕樹的過程中，他是"不舍的，不情愿的"．故選D．
53．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段My tree is like a good marriage or a great friendship．Like the tree，they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories，but can be torn down quickly．可知作者把圣誕樹比喻成婚姻，因為它們的建立都是要花費很多的時間，但是拆除卻很快．故B正確．
54．B 主旨歸納題．由倒數(shù)第二段Every year I have to put my tree away，but not my marriage or friendships．I take great care of those．每年我都需要好好照顧我的婚姻或友情，及最后一段第一句Take great care of your friendships and your marriage得知，本文主要講了要"小心對待婚姻和友情"．故選B．

點評 本文主要考查推斷題．在解題時要立足已知，推斷未知．立足現(xiàn)在，猜測未來．不能主觀臆想，憑空想象，隨意揣測，更不能以自己的觀點代替作者的觀點；要把握句、段之間的邏輯關(guān)系，了解語篇的結(jié)構(gòu)．要體會文章的基調(diào)，揣摸作者的態(tài)度，摸準邏輯發(fā)展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音

9．Gregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day，but not for the reason that most people would think．He isn't homeless．In fact he is trying to help the homeless．
Gregory began his life as a sculptor．But he often felt that his sculptures，which just stood in rich people's houses for years，lacked a meaningful purpose．So in 2011 he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell-not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials．
The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn't occur to him until the year 2013，when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp（防水布）．Instead of a tarp，Gregory offered them something better：a small home with a water tank，a kitchen and a trap（容器） for waste．They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city．And soon his"Homeless Homes Project"was started．
Before starting a new home，Gregory，goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins．Everything he finds is usable-refrigerator doors become house doors； washing machine doors often serve as windows，and the tops of cars become strong roofs．He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily．Each home takes two to three days to make．
So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the city's most needy．While his small lowcost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness，they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in．They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help．
Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture，where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops．"A lot of people who hear about what I'm doing want to get involved，"he said．"Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together．"
28．Why did Gregory turn from making sculptures to creating homes？B
A．He had no home to live in．
B．He wanted to help the homeless．
C．He lost interest in sculpture．
D．He had to make more money．
29．The author mentions the story in Paragraph 3 to tell usD．
A．Gregory's small homes were popular among the homeless
B．housing the homeless in a city was not an easy task
C．the homeless couple asked Gregory to produce more homes
D．how Gregory got the idea of"Homeless Homes Project"
30．What can we conclude from Paragraph 4？A
A．Gregory's work requires imagination and creativity．
B．It takes Gregory a long time to produce a home．
C．Gregory has great trouble hunting for materials for his small houses．
D．Everything in the dustbins will be used in Gregory's work．
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph？C
A．Gregory's work will completely solve the homelessness problem．
B．Gregory doesn't need to make small homes now．
C．Gregory's project wil l help more homeless people．
D．A single person can make no difference to social problems．

19．When early colonial settlers went to America，they took many forms of dance to  their new home．Square dancing，one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing，developed from several different Old World group dances，mainly English country dances，and the French quadrille（四對方舞）．
In the American version of square dancing，four couples form a square and dance to music．An American addition to square dancing is the caller．What do you think a caller does？
The callers---someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music---was a completely American invention．At first dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance，but eventually the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues （提示） so that dancers didn't have to remember so many steps．The caller didn't just call out"do-se-do your partner"； a good caller also came up with colorful sayings or witty lines that he said in between the cues such as"Don't be shy and don't be afraid．Swing on the corner in a waltz promenade （步伐）．"A caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines．
Although popular for years，square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s，when Henry Ford helped revive（復(fù)蘇）interest in it．Ford，the automobile manufacturer，used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts，where he enjoyed the dance programme run by a man named Benjamin Lovett．Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances，but Lovett said he couldn't because he had a contract with the inn．Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett's contract．He took Lovett back to Detroit，where together they established a programme for teaching squares and rounds．Square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country．
25．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．The Different Steps of Square Dancing
B．The Origin and Development of Square Dancing
C．Who Was the Inventor of Square Dancing？
D．Why Did Square Dancing Go Out of Style？
26．What does the underlined part"their new home"refer to？D
A．The United Kingdom．
B．France．
C．Africa．
D．America．
27．Why did the caller call out the steps for the dancers？D
A．Because the dance was invented by the caller．
B．Because the dancers didn't know the names of the steps．
C．Because the steps were very particular．
D．Because it was hard for the dancers to remember all the steps．
28．What can we learn about Henry Ford in the last paragraph？C
A．He was the man who made the first car．
B．He was very fond of dancing．
C．He helped make square dancing popular again．
D．He taught people how to dance．
