16.The first time she saw Bryce Loski,she flipped.The first time he saw Juli Baker,he ran.For six years of living close by,they had played the same game of cat-and-mouse (Juli was the cat; Bryce was the unfortunate mouse).
For years Juli dreamed of one thing:her first kiss from the boy.Nothing else seemed to matter.But when Juli's favorite sycamore tree is threatened by developers,things begin to change.She begins to see things and places and people in a different light.Things,for years,she thought to be important,become things she can live without; and people she thought to be the center of her universe,become nothing more than a star in a faraway galaxy.
Things begin changing with Bryce also.It all begins with the eggs…which then cause a domino effect of changes with his relationships with his best friend,his father,the Bakers and,ultimately,Juli.
I had seen this book on the shelf at bookstores for years,but never bothered to pick it up because it looked to be another book from Jerry Spinelli (not exactly my favorite author in the world) and so,continually,I would walk past it without giving it a second glance.If by chance I had picked it up,I most likely would not have read it,since the summary on the back didn't seem too appealing.It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I heard about Flipped the movie.I read an interview with Callan McAuliffe (the actor who portrays Bryce) and thought that  Flipped was a romance right up my alley; cute,innocent and as far from Jane Austin as you could get.After reading the interview and a summary of the movie,I found the plot-line to be somewhat appealing and a definite breath of fresh air opposed to the dark material I have been recently reading and writing.I found the book a few days later in a Goodwill bookstore and finished it in three days.
The story isn't what you would consider deep…it isn't shallow and pointless either…I guess you could say it's the perfect balance of life-lessons and innocence.
You read about Bryce and Juli (each from their own points of view) and how,throughout six years,their lives and views and opinions change and develop.Flipped is somewhat of a coming of age story about two kids learning to see life from the other's point of view and learning that growing up isn't about staying the same,but changing; changing likes and dislikes; changing friends and crushes and views on family.
Uniquely written,every other chapter showing the same scenes and events,only from the other's point of view,you see how the saying,"Two sides to every story,"is true.You are able to see both Juli and Bryce's reasons for doing what they do and saying what they say…not just what the other sees.
It will be interesting to see how this writing style comes into play in the movie.Overall I thought this story was incredibly cute and light-hearted,although it didn't entirely meet my expectations.Especially the ending.I felt as though it ended quite abruptly and that there was more story that needed to be told.
But even with that,after having taken a step back and taken my mind off of Flipped,I find the story has stuck with me and stayed in the back of my mind,making me highly anticipate seeing this book turned to a film.I understand why it has been so popular for almost two decades and am looking forward to seeing Flipped on the big screen soon.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了一個你不應(yīng)該錯過的可愛天真的愛情故事,幫助讀者成長.

解答 65.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段The first time she saw Bryce Loski,she flipped.The first time he saw Juli Baker,he ran.For six years of living close by,they had played the same game of cat-and-mouse 可知他們應(yīng)該是鄰居;故選B.
66.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段.Things,for years,she thought to be important,become things she can live without; and people she thought to be the center of her universe,become nothing more than a star in a faraway galaxy可知在她最喜歡的梧桐樹瀕危后,Bryce Loski已經(jīng)成為她生活中微不足道的人;故選A.
67.C.句意理解題.根據(jù)文章I read an interview with Callan McAuliffe (the actor who portrays Bryce) and thought that  Flipped was a romance right up my alley可知我看了一個采訪卡蘭麥克奧利菲(扮演Bryce)并且認為這將是一個浪漫的對我胃口的;意為Callan的采訪使得作者意識到這是一本和他品位的書;故選C.
68.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第六段Flipped is somewhat of a coming of age story about two kids learning to see life from the other's point of view and learning that growing up isn't about staying the same,but changing可知這本書的主題是成長的煩惱;故選B.
69.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Especially the ending.I felt as though it ended quite abruptly and that there was more story that needed to be told可知書并沒有提供一個好的結(jié)局;故選D.
70.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第六段Flipped is somewhat of a coming of age story about two kids learning to see life from the other's point of view and learning that growing up isn't about staying the same,but changing可知文章主要是關(guān)于一個你不應(yīng)該錯過的可愛天真的愛情故事,故選B.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

Black Beans
Protein,per 1/2cup:7g
Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down.Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily,study participants'fat reduced by 4percent over two years.
Peanut Butter

4.On June 10,2003,I graduated from U of T,Scarborough.As I stood at University College waiting with hundreds of others,I suddenly felt overcome with emotion.My very long and personal journey to convocation had started 20 years earlier on the St.George campus.
I first enrolled at U of T through the Transitional Year Programme in 1983.At the time I was a 30-year-old mother of two girls and married to"the boy next door."I was both excited and terrified,and felt a little like Rita in the movie Educating Rita-traveling daily to classes in high heels.I decided that it would be better for my family if I attended classes closer to home,so I transferred to Scarborough for my second year.After picking up the girls from school,I'd bring them back to the studio where I rehearsed.Much to my horror,they would crawl around on the catwalks high above me.They were 10and 12and loved being at"Mom's school."
My life changed drastically that year.On June 10,1986,my husband of 13years was killed in a horrific accident.I picked up my life the best I could under the circumstances and returned to U of T,but failed to get all the credits I needed.Twenty years later,on the eve of my 50th birthday,I e-mailed an old professor,who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre.This time I made it all the way through.
As I stepped inside Convocation Hall,I searched the crowd for my girls,now in their thirties.They were in the highest balcony,waving frantically at me-just as they had done from the catwalk in my drama class so long ago.I will never forget the look on the girls faces as they called out"Hi Mom."I finally felt complete.

24.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"convocation"in Paragraph 1?C
A.Birthday party.
B.College credits.
C.Graduation ceremony.
D.Drama class.
25.When the author graduated from U of T,she was probably aroundD years old.
A.twenty   B.thirty   C.forty   D.fifty
26.What do we know about the author's daughters?D
A.They helped her with housework when she attended college.
B.They played with her during her rehearsals.
C.They comforted her when she lost her husband.
D.They were proud of her success in the end.
27.Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards her studies?B
A.Curious.B.Persistent.C.Sympathetic.D.Optimistic.

I think you should do some research first and learn how to run an online bookstore.(高分句型三)What's more,you'd better do the business during holidays.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you again.

With the program Readers becoming popular recently,two handwritten letters read in it drew the audience's attention.
Many people suggest that we should communicate by writing letters,which has caused a heated discussion among students in our school.(高分句型一)Students'opinions vary.
70% of the students are in favor of it.On one hand,handwritten letters can help students express their feelings better while communicating with others.On the other hand,bywriting letters,students can practise their handwriting well,which is very beneficial totheir future development.(高分句型二)
However,30% of the students are against it.For one thing,it's a waste of time and paper for students to write letters.For another,they hold the view that handwritten letters are out of date,which should be given up.(高分句型三)
On my personal note,it is a good tradition that we need to hold on to.What's more,letters are easy to store,which will become great treasures for us to value when we memorize our past in the future.(高分句型四)(151 words).
