Through the years，she used to write stories about people for national magazines．There was now a new  7   ： Old people like herself．She began to write a newspaper column called“ Sixty Plus”，which was about   8   old．She writes about the problems of old people，especially their problems with being  9   ．

Anna Douglas uses her   10   ability to see the truth behind a problem．She understands why problems begin．For example，one of her readers said that his grandchildren  11   the houses as soon as he came to visit．Mrs Douglas  12   some ways for him to understand his grandchildren．

“It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world，”says Mrs Douglas．“That means questioning and listening，and   13   is not what old people do best．Say good things to them and about them，”she continues．“Never try to   14   your grandchildren or other young people．Never   15   your opinion．Don't tell them what they should do．Commonly ，they have been taught they should have respect for old people．The old should respect them as well．”

【小題1】D

【小題2】A

【小題3】B

【小題4】A

【小題5】D

【小題6】B

【小題7】A

【小題8】A

【小題9】C

【小題10】A

【小題11】C

【小題12】C

【小題13】A

【小題14】B

【小題15】D


解析:

【小題1】D她從教師工作上退了下來(lái)，然而她一直很忙。B項(xiàng)有一定干擾性。keep rich意思是“富有”，從后文she was even willing to work without pay．可以看出B項(xiàng)不合題意。

【小題2】A從空后的that helped other businesses find jobs for old people．可以看出，她提供的是商業(yè)服務(wù)。

【小題3】從空后的By talking with them可以看出，Anna Douglas每天都與很多老年人會(huì)面，而不是觀察或安慰他們。

【小題4】通過(guò)與他們交談，她認(rèn)識(shí)到兩件事情。接下來(lái)的兩句便是她認(rèn)識(shí)到的事情。recognize在這里是“認(rèn)識(shí)到”的意思。

【小題5】老年人有未被利用的能力。這是她積極為老年人找工作發(fā)揮他們余熱的原因。其他答案不合題意。

【小題6】然而老年人也有老年人的問題。A項(xiàng)有較大干擾性。從后文我們知道，有一位老年人不受其孫子女的歡迎，這是他面臨的問題，而不是錯(cuò)誤。

【小題7】聯(lián)系上下文Old people like herself．是報(bào)紙的一個(gè)話題（subject），因此其它選項(xiàng)不合題意。

【小題8】get old在這里為系表結(jié)構(gòu)，其它選項(xiàng)不正確。

【小題9】B，D項(xiàng)有較大干擾性。作者舉的例子說(shuō)明很多老年人被其孫子女誤解，而不是（他們的要求）被拒絕等。

【小題10】從空后的see the truth behind a problem我們得知，Anna Douglas用的是 thinking abilities。

【小題11】聯(lián)系上下文我們可以推知，這位老年人與其孫子女關(guān)系并不融洽，因此當(dāng)他進(jìn)來(lái)時(shí)，孩子們就離開。

【小題12】她給這位老人建議了幾種方法。

【小題13】本空承接and前的分句而來(lái)，因此答案應(yīng)在questioning和listening間選擇，選項(xiàng)中沒有questioning。

【小題14】聯(lián)系上文Say good things to them and about them．得此答案。A項(xiàng)有一定干擾性，空前的Never決定了此選項(xiàng)不正確。

【小題15】stick to在這里是“固執(zhí)地堅(jiān)持”。A，B均有一定干擾性。聯(lián)系前文Mrs Douglas認(rèn)為老人應(yīng)該多聽聽孫子女的見解，不要太固執(zhí)地堅(jiān)持自己的看法。 speak out意思是“說(shuō)出”，give up是“放棄”，因此不合題意。

完形填空（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從1-10各題所給的A.B.C.和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺負(fù)）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的觀點(diǎn)). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A．kind           B．sensitive        C．fair  D．generous

 

2.                A．equally         B．slightly         C．clearly   D．increasingly

 

3.                A．suggestions      B．conclusion      C．turns D．choices

 

4.                A．a(chǎn)ccidents       B．mistakes        C．falls  D．deaths

 

5.                A．interesting      B．vital (重要的)     C．easy D．valuable

 

6.                A．seldom         B．rarely          C．merely (僅僅)  D．never

 

7.                A．trouble         B．power          C．prison    D．control

 

8.                A．roughly         B．eventually       C．deliberately (故意地)    D．exactly

 

9.                A．a(chǎn)wful (可怕的)   B．cruel           C．unhealthy D．unnecessary

 

10.               A．still            B．even           C．later  D．somehow

Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our   36   about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   37   us to start our journey.

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (撫摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven  29    years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life   30     . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

Finally, I felt my     31      at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what    32      me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house    33      did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and   34      asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely    36     from my mind, reached through the bars (護(hù)欄). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched   37      . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me     38     so important?

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health，or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start，    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result．

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your   39   ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be   39   up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind．Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．

In fact that is what   44   is like；we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s   49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不經(jīng)意的）    50   may not be a bad one．
