5.Nine years ago,after Leo had died,people said to me."I never knew he was your stepfather."You see,I never called him that.At first,he was no one special in my life.Then he became my friend.In time,I felt he was also my father.
Leo married my mother when I was eleven.Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development,where we put down roots.At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass,but Leo saw bright possibilities."We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers,"he said.And just these little touches made our house different from all the others.More important,a real family was forming.Leo was becoming a full-time parent,and I was learning what it meant to have a father.
Weekday mornings when the weather was bad,Leo often drove me to school.Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted,but I always thought it was wonderful.Saturday mornings,we went to the hardware shop,then stepped into the five-and-ten,buying a sports magazine or something else.Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special,but I,who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities,experienced them now with extreme delight.Looking back,I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most-the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.
Soon after we moved to the suburbs,one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me.She had already met my mother and Leo."You know,"she said,"you look just like your father."I knew she was just making conversation--but even so…"Thank you",I said.Why tell her anything different?

21.The writer's purpose in writing this passage isA.
A.to show his pride to have a good stepfather
B.to show how interesting a person Leo was
C.to remind us of our parents
D.to explain why they moved to the suburbs
22.The phrase"put down roots"in the second paragraph meansC.
A.farmed       B.planted 
C.settled      D.worked
23.In the writer's opinion,D.
A.it is not easy to live with a stepfather
B.not all the stepfathers are as good as Leo
C.the husband and wife must think more about their children before they divorce
D.in stepfamilies the love and friendship are extremely precious
24.The last sentence"Why tell her anything different?"means thatB.
A.he should have told the truth
B.he wouldn't tell her the truth
C.he wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo
D.he wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors
25.According to the passage,which of the following statements is not true?B
A.The writer's stepfather died many years ago.
B.The writer got a stepfather when he was twelve years old.
C.Leo often took the writer out doing some shopping.
D.The writer was grateful to his stepfather for what he had done.

分析 從全文可知,作者通過回憶,著重向我們展示了自己與繼父之間的深厚的友誼.作者本來和繼父之間有隔閡,隨著繼父關愛自己與日俱增,作者找到了擁有父親的快樂與幸福.

解答 21.A 推理判斷題. 推理判斷題 通讀全文可知,作者描述了與繼父一起生活的美好和快樂,父子間的和諧融洽讓外人認為他們是親父子.他很自豪擁有這樣一位繼父.A項表述表明了作者的寫作意圖.故選A.
22.C 猜測詞義題.根據(jù)前面一句"Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburbandevelopment"可知,我們搬到郊區(qū)新開發(fā)的房子里,之后在那里定居下來.put down roots扎根,定居,和settle 意思相近,故選C.
23.D 觀點題態(tài)度.根據(jù)第一段的"Then he became my friend.In time,I felt he was also my father.",第二段的最后一句"and I was learning what it meant to have a father.",第三段的最后一句"I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most-the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family."以及最后一段的內(nèi)容可知,最初,繼父在我生活中不占特殊地位,后來,他成為我的朋友.繼父對我的關愛讓我和他成為親父子.因此,作者認為,再婚家庭中愛和友誼異常珍貴.故選D.
24.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)前面的句子"I knew she was just making conversation--but even so…"可知,我知道她是在尋找交談的話題,但即使是這樣,我也不打算告訴她真相.A、C、D三項均不符合文意,故選B.
25.B 細節(jié)理解題. 根據(jù)句子Leo married my mother when I was eleven應該是我在十一歲的時候有了繼父,而不是十二歲,所以答案選B.

點評 故事類文章在閱讀過程中,我們一直在某個線索的引導下,隨著作者的思路去了解一個故事或一件事情的始末,因此會感到比較輕松.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查學生對細節(jié)的辨認能力以及推理判斷能力. 閱讀故事類文章時,應注意把握主旨大意,弄清主要情節(jié),立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖,根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象,從而達到解題的目的.

18.Chinese consumers'crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable,with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's luxury items.
As China's economic miracle develops,the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing.Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well-known car,clothing and jewelry brands.For example,the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world,even outstripping that of the United States,with a market share of 25 percent.This trend appears to continue,with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China,compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US.But more importantly,China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.
China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods.In 2013,China became the largest market for red wine in the world,even overtaking France,with l.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year.Over the past five years,China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing,public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to"gain face"and publicly display social climbing through material possessions.On the other hand,it is"self-reward"that lies behind consumer motivation in this area.Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success.But this has little to do with"gaining face"and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.
Finally,the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally.

32.What do you think the author would most probably be?C
A.A news reporter.B.An accountant.C.A professor.D.A conductor.
33.The underlined word"outstripping"in Paragraph 2 probably means"C".
A.falling far behind of      
B.going out of                    
C.going far ahead of          
D.keeping pace with
34.What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3?B
A.China's luxury jet market growth is only 2% to 3%.
B.France was once the largest market for red wine in the world before 2013.
C.The luxury jet market in the US shares 25%of the jet consumption in the world.
D.China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86 billion bottles since 2013.
35.What can be the best title for the passage?B
A.Future Private Luxury Consumption in China     
B.Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and Services
C.The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China           
D.The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers.

19.A group of young people tired of reading‘bad news'have taken things into their own hands-and created a free positive newspaper.
The Champion is the resulting newspaper,which was produced with the support of the Youth Work Programme at LYCS (Lourdes Youth and Community Services) in Dublin's north east inner city,and was funded by the County Dublin Youth Services Board (CDYSB).
The teens who put together the newspaper are aged from 13-19,and tired of reading in the media every day about young people hanging around and causing trouble.
This newspaper champions young people,covering a wide range of topics and including detailed reports of individual young people's work,ambition and achievements.
"They knew themselves that there were a lot of good things happening,"explained Sarah Kelleher,director of LYCS."Their friends were achieving a lot and no one seems to comment about that."She said that they picked the newspaper as opposed to any other media as"it's the printed word people see and it sticks in their mind".
The teens understand why people want to read dramatic and negative news,and they aren't naive about crime or other serious issues.But they feel that there are a lot of good things happening that aren't being reported on.
Three thousand copies of The Champion have been printed,and will be going free into the letterbox of every house in the area."I think they are hoping people will be pleasantly surprised,"said Kelleher.
The concept came from a small number of people,but in the end it took the work of at least 50people to complete the whole project.
They contacted youth clubs,schools,and other groups to find out what positive news they had to share.
The Champion also serves to promote youth work,which Sarah says"is a very low-cost service to run,but it can have an absolutely amazing impact for young people in a community like this".She added that cuts can have an impact on youth work,and that"the more you keep young people in youth work,the more things like this they produce".

32.Why did the teens start the newspaper?B
A.To promote youth work.
B.To promote positive news.
C.To free teens from reading.
D.To compete with other newspapers.
33.What is special of the newspaper?C
A.It is meant for young readers.
B.It sells thousands of copies a day.
C.It focuses on teens'good deeds.
D.It covers positive news of adults.
34.What can we know about the teens who start the newspaper?A
A.They get news from many sources.
B.They care little about social issues.
C.They prefer to write astonishing news.
D.They can't accept negative news being reported.
35.What quality of the teens is highlighted in the passage?C
A.team spirit.
B.creative thinking.
C.sense of responsibility.
D.strong will to succeed.

8.Dear Carolyn,
My sister (step) and I get along great…as long as our parents aren't around.When my mom and her dad are there,she is mean,easily offended,easily offensive,and it's awful.
We've been talking about planning a vacation for all of us with my young son to Disney World,and it's already gotten contentious(矛盾的).A very large part of me wants to suggest that we break this up and just go to Disney with me,my sister and my son.But if my parents go they will pay and I can't really afford to go on my own.My sister could definitely afford to pay for all of us,but I don't think I should ask for that.
Any advice?This is so,so obviously a bad idea,but I don't know how to pull this off(設法做成)without lots of hurt feelings.I guess I can just go with it and put up with the anger in exchange for a free trip to Disney?Ugh.
**********************************************************************************
Family vacation disaster,
The most obvious Option 1is to back out of the trip.Say you're not comfortable being paid for and would like to postpone until you can save up for it.
Option 2is to be more straightforward with your sister:"I don't know if you've noticed the same thing,but we seem to get along better when the parents aren't around."But you have to be careful not to lay the blame on her.
Option 3is to go on the trip as planned,but with a different attitude toward your sister.Someone who acts the way you describe is obviously stressed.Can you think of why?Can you find empathy(感同身受;同感;共鳴)?
Can you help?Or maybe just,can you get away when it gets bad?
Even if you go with Option 1or 3,file away 2for another time,the underlying tension between you that spoils your time with your parents must be addressed.

25.From the first letter,it can be concluded that the writer of the first letterA.
A.can't afford to go for a trip to Disney alone
B.is going to go on a vacation with her sister
C.has great fun with her parents
D.will go to Disney without her sister
26.From the second letter we learn that"Family vacation disaster"C.
A.should cancel the trip immediately unless she make up with her parents
B.should blame her sister for not going for the trip
C.should know that her sister is under stress in front of their parents
D.should find empathy with her parents
27.What do we know about Carolyn?B
A.Carolyn is the one who wants to go on a trip to Disney.
B.Carolyn is a column writer who helps people in trouble.
C.Carolyn is a person who receive letter.
D.Carolyn is a worker in Disney.
