1.1】C考查形容詞。weak 弱的；clever聰明的；hard-working勤奮的；predicted預測的。He always continued to work through his break time他總是在休息時間繼續(xù)工作，所以說他工作是勤奮的。故選C

2.2】B考查動詞。admired 羨慕；complained 抱怨；reminded提醒；predicted預測。下文提到：那些年老的人一天喝酒聊天幾次，浪費時間，所以說這位年輕人是“抱怨”。故選B

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her views with a classroom of students.

As the sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. She paused and said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is important. Each of us comes to this world to learn, share, love, appreciate and give. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”

Her eyes beginning to water, she went on:

“So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see. It could be a scent of freshly baked bread from someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the wind slightly rustling the leaves in the trees…”

The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and left the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school.

Take notice of something special you see on your way home today. Go barefoot on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

1.What is the purpose of the author’s writing the passage?

A. To show his respect to his teacher

B. To ask us to appreciate every moment of our life

C. To ask us never to give in when facing difficulty

D. To show the influence that a teacher has on her students

2.Why did the teacher talk about something unrelated to class?

A. Because she had finished her class task

B. Because she could hardly control her feeling

C. Because she thought the class were not thoughtful enough

D. Because she wanted to share some of her views with the class

3.What does the underlined word “scent” mean in Paragraph 4?

A. smell B. piece

C. color D. taste

4.What do we learn from the last sentence?

A. We will be happy when we are old.

B. We will regret the mistakes that we made when we were young.

C. We will regret what we didn’t do though we might do it.

D. We will do what we couldn’t do in the past
