試題分析:本篇是書信類文章。介紹的是一位學(xué)生被一所大學(xué)拒絕了，因為某些成績沒有達到學(xué)校招生的要求，然后該學(xué)生回復(fù)了一封信標明進該校的決心，結(jié)果該校還是堅持原先的決定，不接受這位學(xué)生。
【1】B 細節(jié)理解題。B信描述的是學(xué)生不滿意該校拒收他的決定，在信里表明非進該校不可的決心。C信描述的是該校再一次回絕該學(xué)生，并舉例說曾經(jīng)在500次申訴信中，只有四次他們改變了原先的決定。故選B。
【2】C 細節(jié)理解題。in the last ten years we’ve about 500 requests for a review… and changed the decision four times在過去10年里，在500尺申訴信中，只有四次他們改變了原先的決定。所以機會很小。故選C。
【3】D 理解判斷題。Your hand written grade sheet claiming top marks in “waving a stick about”, “ waving a pointy hat” and “watching Paul Daniels TV specials” sadly is not suitable for submission你手寫的成績單上面有幾項是滿分，然而這對申請我們學(xué)校不合適。也就是說他把自己的成績寫高了，所以他明年再申請我們學(xué)校也很困難。故選D。
【4】A 推理判斷題。全文以信件為內(nèi)容，描述了一位學(xué)生兩次被學(xué)校拒絕的故事，所以此次申請是很令人失望的。噶選A。

【題目】While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things，they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground，hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza． Though not much can be done about the first two things，there may soon be a solution to the third one，thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer！
About a year ago，NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor， a 3-D technology expert，to build a device（設(shè)備）that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand． The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked， tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens．
Late last year， the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面團）that is cooked and printed at the same time．Then comes the tomato “sauce” — a mix of tomato powder，oil and water and finally，a protein slice that resembles cheese．While the video doesn’t show the baking process，the inventor says that once the pizza is printed，it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds．
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover，Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts．That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years．Though that may sound unrealistic，actually it is not．
Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients（配料）and then they are reduced to the powder form．This，as you can imagine，will not be so easy．But，while the printer may not be ready for space，it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth．Hopefully，NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars！
【1】Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do？
A. To ask us not to take common things for granted．
B. To show they live a difficult life there．
C. To show their life is boring in space．
D. To introduce the topic of the text．
【2】NASA offered $ 125，000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _______．
A. create some new type of 3-D printer
B. attract more companies to work for NASA
C. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day
D. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits
【3】The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______．
A. he has no money left to go on with his research
B. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers
C. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years
D. he cannot make the food container last for decades
【4】What’s the best title of the passage？
A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better
B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza
C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people
D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

【題目】I was on my way home by train. The train’s gentle rocking made me feel sleepy, despite the fact that I was standing with what felt like a building in the bag on my back. I turned slightly to reduce some of the pain in my shoulder and saw the door at the end of the ear.
An obviously homeless man walked through the door. He was dressed in a dirty heavy coat. He dragged a bag that looked thirty times as heavy as mine. He asked people for spare change in the polite, experienced voice of a person who had done this before. I glanced down as I did a quick cheek of my pockets, hoping for spare change to give him that wouldn’t leave me short for the rest of the week. I came up empty and lifted my head just as his path crossed mine. Shrugging apologetically, I told him I had no change, expecting him to move through the door next to me and continue going to the next cars.
However, he stood and stared at me, saying something quietly. Then I realized he was asking me to take him home. Suddenly money didn’t matter that much to this man who lived in poverty without even think of the proper words to say besides “I can’t , I’m sorry.” He asked me , “What’s wrong with my request?” The answer was on my lips before I knew it. I told him that I was not good enough for him.
It was after the man had left that I thought about the answer I had given him and wondered why it felt so right to say so. I realized that I should have requested love over money or food. The fact that he could appreciate something so simple and invisible in more than I could ever have expected of myself.
【1】When the author was sleepy and tired, he saw a homeless man on the train__________.
A. looking for his long-lost friend
B. asking people for spare clothes
C. begging passengers for some money
D. talking about his painful experience
【2】Which of the following can best describe the author according to Paragraph 2?
A. Self-centered B. Kind-hearted
C. Hard-working D. Easy-going
【3】To his surprise, the author found that the homeless man wanted________.
A. neither food nor money B. not money but love
C. neither money nor love D. both shelter and protection
【4】What did the author learn from the man?
A. No place is more comfortable than home.
B. Friendship can bring two strangers closer.
C. People should bravely follow their dreams.
D. Love is more precious than money or food..
