The year I went to college was a very difficult transition(過渡期) for me. 21    is probably true with many people. I got quite homework and   22 thought about going home.

    Although the  23   time for many students is getting   24   from home, my mailbox was frequently   25   . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard   26  out at me. I sat down to read it,   27  a note from someone back home. 28 I became increasingly puzzled(困惑) as   29   postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and   30  about it.

   Several days later I   31  another postcard, this one   32  news about Maybelline, Mabel’s cousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another,  33  full of news of different people. I befan to   34  look forward to the next one,   35  to see what this author would come up with   36 . I was never   37 .

   Finally, the cards   38  coming, right about the time I had begun to feel  39  about college life. They had been such a happy distraction(調(diào)劑) that I have  40  all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift.

解析:

21．解析：as后接形容詞意為“就像……樣子”。表示自己也像許多人那樣想家。if用于引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，意為“如果”。so是并列連詞，意為“因此”。what引導(dǎo)名詞性從句，在從句中作主語、賓語、表語。

22．解析：often意為“經(jīng)�！保衔闹械腎 got quite homesick表明作者非常經(jīng)常想家。carefully意為“小心地”。seldom意為“不常；很少；難得……”，與上文的內(nèi)容矛盾。merely意為“單；只；純粹；全然”。

23．解析：happy意為“高興，幸�！保Ｖ赴殡S幸福感或滿足感產(chǎn)生的快樂心情，這種心情可能是暫時(shí)的，也可能持續(xù)一段較長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。表示許多學(xué)生最高興的時(shí)刻。hard意為“艱難的”。last意為“最后的”。busy意為“繁忙的”。

24．解析：letter意為“信件”，從下文中的mailbox可知，許多學(xué)生最高興的時(shí)刻是收到家中的來信。visitor意為“訪問者，參觀者”。call意為“(電話)通話”。direction意為“指示，命令，吩咐；用法說明”。

25．解析：empty意為“空的”，這是一個(gè)讓步狀語從句，表示兩個(gè)句子之間是轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比關(guān)系，許多學(xué)生把收到家中的來信看作是最高興的時(shí)刻，而作者的信箱里卻是空的。full意為“滿的”，與短文內(nèi)容矛盾。closed意為“關(guān)閉的”，不符合實(shí)際情況。open意為“開著的”。

26．解析：stare意為“盯著看，目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地看 (at), 凝視；瞪眼看得…；瞪眼看，張大眼睛看”。這是一種比喻，比喻一封明信片像人人一樣盯著作者看。pour意為“注，倒，灌，瀉”，指大批的信件從郵箱中流出來。顯然不符合實(shí)際情況。reach意為“到達(dá)”。roll意為“滾動(dòng)”。

27．解析：expect意為“期待”指期待得到某種東西或發(fā)生某種情況。上文講述了作者的郵箱里經(jīng)常是空的，現(xiàn)在當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)有一張明信片時(shí)，就迫不及待地坐下來讀了起來，期待著家中的人給他寫的東西。describe意為“描寫”。consider意為“考慮”。enjoy意為“享受……的樂趣”。

28．解析：but意為“但是”，表示兩個(gè)句子之間是轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比關(guān)系。比較前后的內(nèi)容可以判斷出這兩個(gè)句子是轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比關(guān)系，作者本來期待著家中的來信，但信的內(nèi)容卻是一個(gè)名叫Mabel的事。thus意為“因此”。also意為“也”。even意為“甚至”。

29．解析：no意為“沒有”。表示沒有像這樣的明信片。any意為“任何一個(gè)”。some意為“某個(gè)”。such意為“這樣的”。

30．解析：forget意為“忘記”。因?yàn)镸abel與作者無關(guān)，所以他很快就把這封明信片忘記了。joke意為“開玩笑”。talk about意為“談?wù)摗�。care about意為“關(guān)心”。

31．解析：receive意為“收到”，表示接收者客觀地收到，并不表示愿意接受與否，指作者收到了另外張明信片。mail意為“郵寄”。write意為“寫”。accept意為“接受”，表示收到者經(jīng)過考慮，主觀上愿意接受所接之物。

32．解析：deliver意為“傳達(dá)，傳(話等)”，表示這封明信片講述了有關(guān)Maybelline的事。demand意為“要求，請(qǐng)求；需要，詢問，盤問，追究”。discover意為“看出，發(fā)現(xiàn)，看到”。develop意為“使發(fā)達(dá)，使發(fā)展；使發(fā)生；使進(jìn)化”。

33．解析：each意為“每一個(gè)”，作者共收到了三封明信片，每一封都是不同人的事。one意為“一個(gè)”，指代上文提到的事。either意為“（兩者）中的任意一個(gè)”。both表示“兩者都”。

34．解析：really意為“真，真正，實(shí)在”，由于接連不斷地收到明信片，使得作者真地盼望著再收到下一封明信片。nearly意為“幾乎”。possibly意為“可能地”。usually意為“平常地”。

35．解析：interested作狀語，表示“感興趣的”，根據(jù)上文中的look forward to可判斷出作者對(duì)明信片中的事感興趣。promising作狀語，表示伴隨情況，意為“答應(yīng)”，promise指給出諾言，正面、積極地許可、答應(yīng)一件事，往往含有讓人有肯定的感覺，但又幾乎不保證結(jié)果會(huì)完全符合他人期望的意味，即只指意圖，不指義務(wù)，只指美好的愿望，不指壞的意圖。surprised意為“吃驚的”。pretending作狀語，意為“假裝”。

36．解析：next意為“下一個(gè)”，因?yàn)槊恳环饷餍牌v述了不同人物的事，所以作者期待著明信片的作者講述下個(gè)人物。below意為“在下面，向下；在下方”。lately意為“近來，最近”。behind意為“在后，在后面，向后”。

37．答案：B 解析：disappointed意為“失望的”，因?yàn)樽髡咭呀?jīng)收到了三封明信片，所以他在盼望下一封明信片寄來時(shí)，從來沒有感到失望。frightened意為“感到害怕的”。excited意為“激動(dòng)人心的”。pleased意為“滿意的”。

38．解析：stop doing sth意為“停止做某事”。根據(jù)right about the time可判斷出明信片不再寄來。continue意為“繼續(xù)”。start意為“開始”，與上文的內(nèi)容矛盾。avoid意為“避免”。

39．解析：easy意為“舒服的，安樂的”，作者在短文中講述了他在開始上大學(xué)時(shí)，感到想家，經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間，他已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了大學(xué)的生活，所以感到舒服和安逸。safe意為“安全的”。tired意為“疲勞的”。anxious意為“憂慮的，擔(dān)心的；掛念的，焦急的”。

40．解析：save意為“保存”，根據(jù)所提供的情景still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift可判斷出作者把這些明信片都保存下來。lose意為“丟失”，與下文的內(nèi)容矛盾。collect意為“收集”。tear意為“撕毀”。

Glynis Davis:

I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year… but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference — but the scales don’t lie.

Roz Juma:

To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.

Lesley Codwin:

I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem — perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though. Because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.

Ros Langfod:

Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet… I’m really good in a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate — my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.

1.What do you think the four women were talking about?

A．Different diets they prefer.

B．Their life after marriage.

C．Tex books for students.

D．Their own slimming matter.

2.Where are these short passages most likely to be taken from?

A．Talks on the air.

B．Advertisements on the wall.

C．Books in a library.

D．Magazines for children.

3.What does the underlined word “scales” possibly mean?

A．The coach in the slimming club.

B．Some tool to measure weight.

C．Glynis Davis’ dear husband.

D．The salesperson in a food shop.

4.Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?

① Glynis Davis        a. I put on weight soon after I got married.

② Roz Juma            b. Frame doesn’t necessarily mean success.

③ Lesley Codwin       c. Facts speak much louder than words.

④ Ros Langfod         d. I like myself as I am, and to be what you are.

A．①-a; ②-d; ③-b; ④-c                   B．①-c; ②-b; ③-d; ④-a

C．①-c; ②-d; ③-b; ④-a                   D．①-a; ②-b; ③-c; ④-d

How old was I? I can’t recall. Maybe I was only 10, about to turn 11, making it the first Christmas after my father left, and left me to fill that sad, shattered place in my mother’s heart. Whenever it was, it was the Christmas the magic changed: the year I stopped being a wide-eyed child and tried eagerly to play Father Christmas myself. It was the Christmas of the coat.

Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, one of the nicer women’s stores in our town’s little mall. It was a deep forest green. A long, heavy, wool dress coat with side pockets. Mom pulled it out from the rack（架） and held it up. “Long enough,”she murmured and slipped it on.

“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the three-way mirror. She made any clothing look good, and this coat hugged her just right. She glanced at the price tag, then hung the coat back on the rack, pausing once more to feel the smooth brush of wool.

Eighty-seven dollars. But I didn’t think twice. As we moved on through the mall, I found some excuse to come back and ask one of the Tobias ladies to hold the coat.

At last I had the coat. The store ladies wrapped it in their biggest box with bright blue paper and a thick silver ribbon. I don’t remember how I got it home, but I can still feel the bursting excitement and pride that filled me each time I glimpsed at the beautifully wrapped gift hiding under my sweater. I would occasionally dig it out just to hold the box, to imagine the big space it would take up under our tree. Here it was ─ joy, peace, and love ─ all wrapped up, waiting for Mom’s loving gratitude.

36. That the writer’s mother felt the coat before they left the store showed that ____.

A. the coat was of good quality                 B. the coat was too expensive

C. she liked the coat very much                D. she’d get it in the end

37. The writer tried to act as Father Christmas in order to ____.

A. show he grew up                                               B. show he missed his father

C. bring his mother a surprise                            D. enjoy himself

38. The writer hid the coat under his sweater in order to ____.

A. imagine the space taken up under the Christmas tree

B. feel the strong feeling to his mother on Christmas

C. give his mother a big surprise on Christmas Day

D. keep the new coat tidy and orderly in the box

39. What can be the best title of this passage?

A. A Merry Christmas                                  B. Christmas of the Coat

C. A Deep Green Coat                                 D. Mother’s Merry Christmas

On the first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “ Don’t  16  her,” warned Lauren, who sat beside me. “or they will make fun of you.”

Every day  18  we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults(侮辱) at Amy. “God，what a strange face! Stop  19  me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)!
