解析:

通讀短文，把握大意：一個(gè)寒冷的冬天的下午，羅伯特在過一座橋時(shí)，忽聽一個(gè)小男孩在橋下呼救。羅伯特脫衣下水救小孩，但到最后卻發(fā)現(xiàn)那是在拍電影，自己做了“好事”，不但沒受到贊揚(yáng)，反而受到責(zé)備。

1. B。選 D 顯然不行，因?yàn)榍懊嬲f羅伯特往橋下一“看”(looked down at the river below)，其結(jié)果不應(yīng)是“聲音”(sounds)；另外按照一般的常識(shí)：一個(gè)人在一個(gè)寒冷的冬天過橋時(shí)，他往橋下一看，他所注意的不會(huì)是河面上是否有“魚(fish)”或者“波浪(waves)”，而應(yīng)是“船(boats)”——河上無(wú)船，正說明天氣“寒冷”。

2. C。此題選 B 顯然不行，因?yàn)?towards 意為“朝…”，具有動(dòng)態(tài)性，與語(yǔ)境不合；若選 beyond(在…之外或那邊)，與下文的 almost directly below 所表示的語(yǔ)境不合；若選 from 也不行，因?yàn)檫@其實(shí)是一個(gè)存在句的地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，表示位置。

3. A。從上下文看這應(yīng)是一個(gè)存在句，故用 there be 句型。

4. D。由于下文有羅伯特“打了個(gè)寒顫”這樣的語(yǔ)境，所以可以推知這個(gè)小孩應(yīng)該是“沒(not)”穿很多衣服。

5. A。這是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句前置的句子，正常語(yǔ)序應(yīng)是：Robert noticed that he was not wearing many clothes. 此題若選 C, D 顯然不合語(yǔ)境；若選 B 也不行，因?yàn)榘凑粘ＷR(shí)，一個(gè)橋上的人看一個(gè)橋下的人，這個(gè)人穿的衣服是多是少，他只能是“注意到(notice)”而不應(yīng)是“看見(see)”。

6. B。從上文看，羅伯特打了個(gè)寒顫就準(zhǔn)備繼續(xù)往前走。然而“就在這時(shí)(just then)”，他聽到了呼救聲。

7. D。此題答案可從語(yǔ)境及語(yǔ)感很容易地推出(注意 come from 意為“來(lái)自”)。

8. C。此題 A(on), D(under) 顯然不合語(yǔ)境；而 B 雖有些接近語(yǔ)境的要求，但within 表示的“不超過”、“不多于”、“在…里面”等，還是與語(yǔ)境不符合。

9. B。此題選 A、D 均不合語(yǔ)境，因?yàn)?his canoe 不可能 running, pulling；選項(xiàng) C(flowing)意為“流，流動(dòng)”，也不合語(yǔ)境。

10. A。下文要說羅伯特脫衣下水救人，這當(dāng)然是說他是一個(gè)出色的 swimmer。

11. C。既然是脫衣救人，當(dāng)然是要“潛入(dive into)”水中。

12. D。這是一個(gè)寒冷的冬天的下午， 羅伯特現(xiàn)在潛入水中， 當(dāng)然是“寒冷的 (cold)”水使他渾身顫抖。

13. A。請(qǐng)注意語(yǔ)意的轉(zhuǎn)折：雖然冷得發(fā)抖,“但(but)”還是沒用幾分鐘就游到了小孩這兒來(lái)。

14. C。下水的目的是為了救小孩，當(dāng)然是要到“小孩(boy)”這兒來(lái)。

15. B。水中救人本不是件容易的事，加上這又是一個(gè)寒冷的冬天， 就更是難上加難，所以這里用 drag 表示“拖”(強(qiáng)調(diào)笨重)。

16. D。從語(yǔ)境可顯然看出：這里的意思是“就在那時(shí)(at that moment)”。

17. C。選項(xiàng) B(smiling)與下文的“生氣(angry)”不符合；選項(xiàng) D( shouting) 與下文的“默默地(silently)”不符合；選項(xiàng) A(seeing) 表示的是結(jié)果不合語(yǔ) 意。

18. A。此處填 C(agreed), D(promised)顯然不行，因?yàn)樯衔牟]有哪個(gè)人叫他 往船這邊游來(lái)，所以這里并不存在“同意(agreed)”或“答應(yīng)(promised)”的問題。A、B 相比，顯然A(decided)更符合語(yǔ)境，因?yàn)榱_伯特發(fā)現(xiàn)橋下有汽艇，且 汽艇上人都往他這邊看，所以他“決定”(decided)往汽艇這邊游來(lái)。

19. D。此題若選 B(till) 或C(for)，顯然不合語(yǔ)境；選 A(while)雖然與語(yǔ)境有些接近，但由于引導(dǎo)的從句通常要是一個(gè)持續(xù)性的謂語(yǔ)， 而不能是終止性的謂 語(yǔ)。

20. B。從語(yǔ)境來(lái)看，只有 B(looked) 講得通，由于羅伯特是在水里，所以他看汽艇上的人，要“抬起頭來(lái)(looked up)”。

21. D。從下文語(yǔ)境來(lái)看：汽艇上的人是在拍電影，現(xiàn)在他們整個(gè)下午的工作被 羅伯特破壞，所以這些人看起來(lái)很“生氣”(angry)。

22. A。一個(gè)寒冷的冬天的下午，一個(gè)落水小孩被救上汽艇，同學(xué)們可以很容易 地想到：該用毯子把他怎么樣呢? 當(dāng)然是“包(wrapped)”起來(lái)。

23. C。小孩被救上汽艇，羅伯特還在水中，此時(shí)由于他并不存在生命危險(xiǎn)，所以并不需要“救命(save)”，又因?yàn)檫B汽艇還沒上來(lái)，不存在用毯子“包(wrap)”；至于“感謝(thank)”，從整個(gè)語(yǔ)境看那就更談不上了。

24. B。pull out 在這里指從水里拉出來(lái)(即從水里拉到汽艇上來(lái))。

25. C。由于下文說這些人是在拍電影，所以這時(shí)羅伯特注意到跟他說話的這個(gè)是站在一部大“攝影機(jī)(camera)”旁。

40  he got in he told me that he was a  41  and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and  42  to get another prescription(處方) before he left on the boat.

I started winning competitions. We still had very little money -- my father had to borrow $5,000 to pay for a trip to the International Young Pianists Competition in Ettlingen, Germany, in 1994, when I was 12. I realized later how much pressure he was under. Tears streamed down his face when it was announced that I'd won -- earning enough money to pay back our loan.
It was soo n clear I couldn't stay in China forever. To become a world-class musician, I had to play on the world's big stages. So in 1997, my father and I moved again, this time to Philadelphia, so I could attend The Curtis Institute of Music. Finally our money worries were easing. The school paid for an apartment and even lent me a Steinway（斯坦威鋼琴）.At night, I would sneak into the living room just to touch the keys.
Now that I was in America, I spent two years practicing, and by 1999 I had worked hard enough for fortune to take over. The Chicago Symphony orchestra heard me play and liked me, but orchestra schedules were set far in advance. I thought I might join them in a few years.
The next morning, I got a call. The great pianist Andre Watts, who was to play the "Gala Benefit Evening" at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, had become ill. I was asked to replace him. That performance was, for me, the moment. After violinist Isaac Stern introduced me, I played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. My father's mouth hung open throughout the entire song.
I played until 3:30 a.m. I felt something happening. Sure enough, it was a great success. Still, my father kept telling me, "You'd better practice!" But living in America with me was beginning to relax him. In Beijing I'd been fat -- he made sure I ate -- and he'd been skinny. Now I was getting thin. He wasn't.
My father and I had often practiced a piece called "Horses," a fun version for piano and erhu. One night in Carnegie Hall, after I played Chopin and Liszt, I brought Dad out on the stage, and we played our duet（二重奏）. People went crazy -- they loved it. My father couldn't sleep for days. He was too happy to sleep.
There have been lots of concerts in Carnegie Hall, but for me playing there was especially sweet when I remember the cold days in Beijing. Together, my father and I worked to reach the lucky place where fortune spots you, and lets you shine.
【小題1】In the first paragraph his father cried when it was announced that he'd won mainly because__________.

A．his father was excited that his son succeeded at last.
B．his father was under too much pressure.
C．they could pay back the loan with the prize.
D．his father was proud of him.
【小題2】 Tell the order of the events.
a. He and his father moved to Philadelphia.
b. He was asked to replace the great pianist Andre Watts.
c. He and his father played “Horses” together.
d.The Chicago Symphony orchestra heard his performance.
e. The Curtis Institute of Music lent him a Steinway
A．a(chǎn), e, c, b, dB．b, e, a, d, cC．d, a, e, b, cD．a(chǎn), e, d, b, c
【小題3】 Which of the following statements agrees with the author?
A．The writer’s father had been very fat before they went to America.
B．The writer thought he would be one of them soon when he knew the Chicago Symphony orchestra heard him play and liked him.
C．The Curtis Institute of Music finally eased their money worries.
D．One can achieve his dream if he is lucky enough.
【小題4】 The underlined word there in the last paragraph refers to_________.
A．America B．Beijing.C．Carnegie HallD．All the places he went to.
【小題5】 What is the best title of the passage?
A．I Took Off!B．When Fortune Spots Me.
C．No Pain, No Gain.D．My father and I

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireplace in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry had a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits (肇事者): poets, teachers and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed (背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions hostile (不利的) to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the readers, so did the teachers. They want their students to know something about the craft (技巧) of a poem, and they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
【小題1】 Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _______.

A．it built a link among peopleB．it helped unite a community
C．it was a source of self-educationD．it was a source of pleasure
【小題2】The underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.
A．diversityB．change C．a(chǎn)musementsD．happiness
【小題3】In the last paragraph, the writer questions _______.
A．the difficulty in studying poems
B．the way poems are taught in school
C．students’ wrong ideas about poetry
D．the techniques used in writing poems
【小題4】According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A．Poems have become difficult to understand.
B．Students are poorly educated in high school.
C．TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
D．Students are becoming less interested in poetry.

B
If you enjoyed the spring-like sunshine over the weekend and thought the weather has finally turned a corner, you’re sadly mistaken.
Chilly (寒冷的) days and grey clouds are forecast for the week—making it far too early to pack away the winter woollies.
Temperatures will struggle to rise above zero at night and fail to make double figures during the day.
People enjoy the spring sunshine in Sefton Park, Aigburth, Liverpool. Forecasters have predicted a return to chilly weather this week.
Met Office forecaster Charlie said, “It was a nice, dry, bright weekend in many parts and Monday is going to be a similar affair for many.”
“Temperatures will be between 5℃and 8℃, which is below average for the start of spring.”
The sun will disappear from the south of the country after today, with dry but cloudy conditions forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday. 
Wednesday will be warmest of the three, with temperatures peaking at 9℃. But this is still two degrees below the March average for the district.
Overnight, temperatures will drop sharply, with lows of minus 3℃for the next three nights.
“It will generally stay on the cold side of average,” said Mr. Powell.
The March misery comes at the end of the coldest winter for more than 30 years.
Temperatures in December, January and February struggled to stay above zero, with the UK’s average 1.5℃, making it the deepest freeze since 1978—79.
It claimed there was just a one-in-seven chance of a cold December to February.
The agency also sadly predicted a “barbecue summer”, saying it was “quite optimistic” that it would be warmer and drier than average.
Following the two mistakes, the Met Office has dropped its long-range seasonal forecasts and will instead publish a monthly prediction for Britain, updated once a week.
In its defense, it says that while short-term forecasts are extremely accurate, Britain’s size and geographical position makes long-term predictions much more challenging.
It also points out that it gave warning of any heavy falls of snow this winter.
60. According to the passage, the weather on Tuesday in the south might be _______.
A. dry but cloudy  B. sunny but chilly  C. sunny and warm  D. cloudy and chilly
61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. British people can put away their winter clothes now.
B. The Met Office has shortened its forecast range.
C. The weather forecast becomes more and more accurate.
D. The agency was quite confident of long-term predictions.
62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The big chill isn’t over yet                    B. A warm spring finally arrives
C. A heavy snow is on the way               D. The Met Office drops forecasts
63. From the passage, we can conclude ________.
A. the weather report is more and more important
B. British people become worried about bad weather
C. Britain has just experienced a very freezing winter
D. The Met Office can always predict any heavy snow falls accurately

B
How does a place become a World Heritage Site ( 世界遺產(chǎn) ) ? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1 )  If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO ( 聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織 ) . The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2 )  The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3 )  After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the list of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4 )  Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
45．The passage implies that ________.
A．becoming a world heritage site takes hard work.
B．a(chǎn) place with beautiful scenery is often on the World Heritage List.
C．a(chǎn) place which was taken good care of is often on the World Heritage List.

A．how the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO decides a World Heritage Site
B．how the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO protects a World Heritage Site
C．how the Great Wall becomes a World Heritage Site
D．how a place becomes s World Heritage Site
48．The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is ________.
