Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he like this, the more unhappy he became.

, the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself. This isn’t . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s more I can do to get the apple—that is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

【解析】試題分析：文章大意：小男孩在放學(xué)回家的路上看到一個又大又誘人的蘋果，本來不太喜歡吃蘋果的他卻抵制不住誘惑，越看蘋果感覺越餓。于是，小男孩想盡一切辦法想夠到蘋果，但終是沒成功。所以，他在反思，當(dāng)我們不能改變事實(shí)的時候就要學(xué)會改變我們的情感態(tài)度。

1.根據(jù)前面的句子可知，男孩并不是很喜歡吃水果，因此如果要他選擇的話，他更喜歡（prefer）吃一塊巧克力。

2.根據(jù)下面的句子the forbidden fruit can be tempting. “禁果誘人”可判斷，上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇but。

3.根據(jù)下文第55個空所在的句子中出現(xiàn)的hungry一詞可判斷，此處選擇hungrier，表示“他越看那只蘋果就越覺得肚子餓”。

4.為了夠到那只蘋果，小男孩踮起腳尖，盡可能把身體伸展（stretch）到最高的程度。A擴(kuò)大，擴(kuò)充，擴(kuò)展；B伸展，舒展；C擺動，搖動；D拉，扯，拔。

5.根據(jù)語境可知，小男孩是站著伸手去夠蘋果，因此此處指的是身體的高度（height），不是力量（strength）、長度（length）或范圍(range)。

6.根據(jù)生活常識可判斷，既然小男孩站著夠不到蘋果，他只能開始上下跳躍（jump）。第47個空后面也再次出現(xiàn)了jump。

7.每次跳到最高（top）的時候，小男孩就伸長了胳膊去夠蘋果。at the top of在……頂部或頂端。

8.根據(jù)下文可知，小男孩最終沒有摘到蘋果。out of reach是固定短語，意為“手夠不著, 達(dá)不到”。out of sight“看不見”。

9.根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩沒有放棄，他想如果自己踩（stand）在某些東西上面就能夠到蘋果了。

10.小男孩身上背著書包，可他不想弄壞里面裝的東西。break在此處表示“弄壞，折斷”。

11.根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，為了找到能踩在腳下的東西，小男孩四處環(huán)顧。look around“四處環(huán)顧”。look up “向上看”；look forward“向前看”；look down“向下看”。

12.小男孩希望自己能夠找到一個舊箱子，一塊大石頭，或者，如果順利的話，能找到一架梯子。for luck“為了吉利，為了祈求好運(yùn)”；with luck“如果一切順利的話”；其他兩個介詞不能與 luck搭配。

13.小男孩嘗試了所有的方法，在眼看沒有（without）任何其他選擇的情況下，小男孩只好放棄了。

14.沒有辦法摘到蘋果，小男孩只好失望地走開。walk away“走開”。

15.根據(jù)上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力（effort），因此耗盡了力氣，覺得又累又餓。A 愿望；B信念，信仰；D目標(biāo)。

16.此處表示他越是這樣想（thought），就越覺得不開心。

17.根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，此處是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇however“然而，可是”。

18.根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩開始理智地看待自己遇到的問題，覺得生氣、失望、難過等都沒有幫助（helpful），不能從根本上解決問題。

19. 結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩清醒地認(rèn)識到自己已經(jīng)沒有其他法子（nothing）可用了，蘋果也不會得到了。

20.小男孩的反省也是文章主題的升華：面對無法解決的問題，我們可以做到的就是改變（change）自己的情感態(tài)度。

People aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it..

I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.

It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune, for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.

Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.

It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.

The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

1.What is the national sickness?

A. Walking too much

B. Traveling too much

C. Driving cars too much

D. Climbing stairs too much.

2.What was life like when the author was young?

A. People usually went around on foot.

B. people often walked 25 miles a day

C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.

D. people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.

3.The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that________.

A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature

B. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mind

C. people need regular exercise to keep fit

D. going on foot prevents heart disease

4.What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?

A. A queue of carsB. A ray of traffic light

C. A flash of lightningD. A stream of people

5.What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?

A. To tell people to reflect more on life.

B. To recommend people to give up driving

C. To advise people to do outdoor activities

D. To encourage people to return to walking

Two years ago, when I was an oversea student, I worked early mornings and late nights to pay for my school fees.

One day, I was seriously ill with a very high fever. I had stayed at home for a few days, and I had run out of food. Because I had been in this town just for a short time, I also had no friends nearby who could help. So I went out to get some food. I would have gone to the supermarket, but on this occasion, I went into a small store because it was closer.

I picked up a few items. When I handed them to the shopkeeper, she said, “You are unwell.” “Yes，” I nodded.

She pointed at the salami and bread I was buying and offered, “I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself’. So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went in the back room and returned with a bowl of hot soup.

“It will warm you up,” she said with a genuine smile.

What really warmed me up was not the soup, but her kindness. It made me want to be as kind as the shopkeeper who had been kind to me.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（設(shè)備）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; and sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.

The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

1.If a person has his nose in the air, he _______.

A. is confident

B. is easy to deal with

C. is down to the earth

D. is always self-important and pride.   

2.What can a daydreamer probably be like?

A. A person full of dreams in life.

B. A person with his head in the clouds.

C. A person with both his feet on the ground

D. A person with a good understanding of reality.

3.The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.

A. the opposite direction is always wrong

B. the person who has his nose in the air is not true

C. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent

D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

4.From the passage, we can infer the person who is _____ is the most popular kind of person.

A. down-to-earthB. standing on the ground

C. with his nose in the airD. with his head in the clouds

Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air.

Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015, according to the latest plan released by the State Council.

Besides the existing pollution control program for SO2, regional emission caps (區(qū)域排放上限) for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas— the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, according to the plan.

“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people’s health,” Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Monday.

“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants (污染物) Can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences.

“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a certain pollutant will not be enough,” Chai said.

Zhang said, “The country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.”

These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6. 3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 percent of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel, according to official figures.

Studies also show that the visibility (能見度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution.

Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province, the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs, according to the plan.

The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, which will measure the pollution levels. “The current system, which only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said Chai.

1. It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because　　　.

A. air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent years

B. air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s health

C. air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areas

D. air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities

2.. Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s, the visibility there nowadays is　　　.

A. 123 to 115 km　　　　B. 137 to 145 km

C. 123 to 145 km　　　　D. 115 to 137 km

3.. The main purpose of the passage is　　　.

A. to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollution

B. to introduce the new plan to control air pollution

C. to provide official figures of air pollution levels

D. to point out the regions affected by air pollution

4.. What does the underlined phrase“the true picture”in the last paragraph mean?

A. The major pollutants.

B. The key polluted areas.

C. The major polluted cities.

D. The pollution levels.
