6.My 3-year-old son and I lived a very hard life because I had been out of work since two years ago.Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says:"Can I have some more bread and jam (果醬) please,Mummy?"And you break down in tears,because you don't know how to tell him that there is no more food.With£6,I went to the supermarket,picked up some food and started to cook at home.It was time for me to make a change and get back on my feet.I began to write a series of articles for the website named Hunger Hurt in July 2011.
   A few months later,local food bank gave me some help--with some free vegetables every month,which made my life a little easier.I began to write recipes(食譜),posting them on my blog.To my surprise,families,students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.
My Life took unexpected turns.I was invited to give a speech on food,interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks and asked to write a cookery book.
    When I got the money from the book,for the first night in almost two years,I went to bed without worrying.Now,I have a well-paid job and a beautiful home,and I'll never forget  the days when I worked hard for a good life.

分析 本文主要講述的是一位媽媽努力奮斗從而使自己和孩子的生活從此得到改觀的勵志故事.作者由于沒有工作而和孩子過著艱苦的生活,后來作者通過寫一些菜譜上傳到博客上而使得自己的生活有所改觀.

解答 51.B.細節(jié)理解題.通過上文的"Can I have some more bread and jam (果醬) please,Mummy?"And you break down in tears,because you don't know how to tell him that there is no more food.With£6,I went to the supermarket,picked up some food and started to cook at home.可知作者是因為孩子沒有吃飽而去超市購物回家做給孩子吃,意為她要用便宜的方法喂飽自己和孩子,故選擇B.
52.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的A few months later,local food bank gave me some help--with some free vegetables every month,which made my life a little easier.可知food bank給作者提供了幫助,一些免費的蔬菜,由此可知food bank主要是給有需要的人提供食物.故選擇B.
53.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的To my surprise,families,students and those poor people told me how muchit helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.可知,作者上傳菜譜后,引起很多人的關(guān)注,故選擇A.
54.D.主旨大意題.根據(jù)對文章的整體理解,可以知道這篇文章主要講述的是一位媽媽通過自己的努力改善生活的理智故事,故選擇D最為恰當(dāng),意為成功掌握在自己手中.選項A說的是一位有愛心的媽媽,和文中大意不符,文章講的是努力而不是愛心;選項B說的是艱苦生活教給我的,文章并未提及;選項C意為母親夢想的工作,而文章并未提到這位媽媽的夢想職業(yè),故選D.

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.

14.Please excuse me if I'm a little sad today.Mark is leaving,and I'm feeling kind of sad.
You probably don't know Mark,but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him.He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional skills with a sweet nature.He just wants to do his job,and to do it superbly well.And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity.It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime,and we're genuinely,sincerely pleased for him.But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague.
Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us.Just when we start to get comfortable with a person,a place or a situation.A terrific neighbor moves away.Someone in the family graduates.A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage.The family's principle bread-winner is laid off.
But how do we do that?A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words:"Go with the flow."
"It's like surfing,"Chris explained."You can't organize the ocean.Waves just happen.You ride them where they take you,then you paddle back out there and catch the next one.Sure,you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get.But mostly you just take them the way they come.
I'm not exactly sure,but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events-both good and bad.There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control.That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your dreams come true.It just means that when things come up that aren't exactly in your plan,you work around them-and then you move on.Of course,some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others.A rained-out picnic,for example,is easier to cope with than the sudden death of a loved one.But the principle is the same.
We're going to miss Mark,just like you'll miss that graduate,that neighbor or that newlywed.But rather than drown ourselves in the sadness of our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen.
76.The passage is mainly aboutD
A.how to change yourself successfully
B.how to do if your colleague (同事) leaves
C.how to deal with unhappy things in life
D.how to deal with unexpected things in life
77.In Paragraph 1,the writer tells the story about Mike toC
A.let us know his colleague               
B.praise his colleague
C.introduce a topic                       
D.describe his life  
78.The leaving of Mike makes the writer feelC
A.really unpleasant                                                  
B.very angry
C.both happy and sad                                              
D.a(chǎn) little disappointed
79.Which is not an unexpected thing in life mentioned in the passage?B
A.A rained-out picnic
B.A terrific neighbor's apology.
C.The sudden death of a loved
D.The graduation of a family member.
80.In the writer's opinion,one should ________ when unexpected things come up.
A
A.a(chǎn)ccept them and hope for a better future
B.do as planned
C.overcome difficulties and let them in control
D.never give up until he succeeds.

11.Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated,and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.
Given that I teach students who are trained to be doctors,I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without"outside help"."What kind of help is that?"I asked,expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.
"Surgery(外科手術(shù))",one replied.I was pretty alarmed by that response.It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height."They break your legs,put in special extending screws,and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows.You can get at least 5 cm taller!"
At that point,I was shocked.I am short.I can't deny that,but I don't think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller.I don't even bother to wear shoes with thick soles,as I'm not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting"perfection",and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.
No one is born perfect,yet magazines,TV shows and movies present images of thin,tall,beautiful people as being the norm(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)).Advertisements for slimming aids,beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers,further creating an idea that"perfection"is a requirement,and that it must be purchased,no matter what the cost.In my opinion,skills,rather than appearance,should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.
61.We can know from the passage that the author works asC.
A.a(chǎn) professor     B.a(chǎn) model       C.a(chǎn) teacher       D.a(chǎn) reporter
62.Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery toC.
A.marry a better man/woman                   
B.become a model
C.get an advantage over others in job-hunting      
D.a(chǎn)ttract more admirers
63.What was the author's reaction towards the girl's decision?B
A.Excited.B.Surprised.C.Happy.D.Angry.
64.According to the passage,the author believes thatC.
A.everyone should pursue perfection,whatever the cost
B.it's right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs
C.media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery
D.it is one's appearance instead of skills that really matters in one's career
65.What does the author think of his height?D
A.He hates to be called a short man.
B.He tries to increase his height through surgery.
C.He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.
D.He just accepts it as it is.

18.The butterfly,which is competitive swimming's newest stroke(劃水),was developed in the mid-1930s,but it wasn't allowed in the Olympics until 1956.The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency.
    During the 1920s,the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics,and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men's swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles.
    It was a wake-up call to the rest of the swimming world,and one of the top US coaches-David Armbruster at the University of Iowa-began doing his own filming.
    Armbruster was seeking to make the breaststroke faster.He knew that the action of bringing their arms forward underwater slowed breaststrokes down,so he came up with a method of bringing the arms forward over the water.The improved stroke brought great improvements in speed.
    The following year,Jack Sieg,an Iowa swimmer,developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs at the same time similar to a fish tail.As Armbruster later explained in the book The History and Background of the Olympic Games:"Sieg tried the same action while swimming face down.He synchronized(使…同步) his leg action with the butterfly arm action using two leg beats to each arm pull."But the kick was ruled illegal because the legs moved in a vertical (垂直的) way.
    Within a few years,nearly every breaststroker was using this overarm butterfly action without the kick.The pure butterfly wasn't legalized for some two decades,but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne"the butterfly"became an official event.
56.The Japanese coaches use underwater photography in order toC.
A.wake up the swimming world              
B.know how to be a mechanic.
C.improve stroke efficiency.
D.be paid more money
57.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT true?D
A.The butterfly was added to the Olympics in 1956.
B.David Armbruster used filming to study stroke mechanics.
C.Sieg came up with the idea of beating legs like a fish tail.
D.The Japanese coaches improved butterfly stroke.
58.Before the pure butterfly was officially recognized,Byears or so had passed.
A.15               B.20               C.30          D.35
59.The best title of the article isA.
A.How did"the butterfly"come into being?
B.When did"the butterfly"become an official event?
C.How did the Japanese wake up the swimming world?
D.Why did the coaches and swimmers improve stroke efficiency?

16.(第三、四層次學(xué)校的學(xué)生做此題)
It was dark,and light snow was coming down.He found an old lady needed help.Even with the smile on his face,she was worried.No one had stopped to help.Was he going to hurt her?He didn't look safe,but poor and hungry.He could see that she was frightened,standing out there in the cold.He knew how she felt.He said,"I'm here to help you,Ma'am.Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm?By the way,my name is Joe."Well,all she had was a flat tire,but for an old lady,that was bad enough.Joe crawled  under the car.Soon he was able to change the tire.
As he finished his work,she asked him how much she owed him.Any amount would have been all right with her.Joe never thought about the money.Ever since the factory closed,he'd been unemployed,though he never quit looking.This was helping someone in need.He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back,the next time she saw someone who needed help,she could give that person the help that they needed,and Joe added"…and think of me".He waited until she started her car and drove off.It had been a cold and sad day,but he felt good.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café.She wanted to have a hot coffee before she went home.The restaurant looked dark and dirty.A waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.She had a sweet smile.The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(懷孕的),but she never let the pressure and pains change her attitude.The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so kind to a stranger.Then she remembered Joe.After the lady finished her meal,and the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill,the lady went away.She was gone by the time the waitress came back.She wondered where the lady could be,and noticed something written on a napkin.It said,"You don't owe me a thing.Someone once helped me out,the way I'm helping you.If you really want to pay me back,here's what you do.Don't let the chain of love end with you."
That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed,she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.How could she have known how much she and her husband needed it?With the baby born next month,it was going to be hard.She knew how worried her husband was,and as he lay sleeping next to her,she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low,"Everything's going to be all right; I love you,Joe."

68.After reading the passage,we can findBcharacters in it.
A.two        B.there        C.four        D.five
69.What's the meaning of the word"crawl"in the first paragraph?D
