13.For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins,Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight,as well as time.Often when my children were little,one of them would want something that cost too much,and I'd have to say,"Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn't grow on trees,you know."
Finally,all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn't sure,though.I mean,gardens do cost money,and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean,no-frills budget.
Then,one spring morning,on Mother's Day,I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly,I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree,planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow,because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn't believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look.It was true!There were dollar bills,one hundred of them,taped all over that tree.Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars!There was also a note attached:"IOU eight hours of digging time.Love,Marvin."
Marvin kept his promise,too.He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools,ornaments,a trellis (棚架),a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty,just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers,I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they're right there with me.
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula,where winters are long and cold,and summers are too short.But every year now,when winter sets in,I look out of my window and think of the flowers.I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me,and I get tears in my eyes-every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!

60.By saying"Do you see a money tree outside…,"the mother actually means"D".
A.Observation is the best teacher      
B.Seeing is believing.
C.The outsider sees the most of the game 
D.It is not easy to gain money
61.The best title for the passage would probably beA.
A.My flower garden
B.Marvin helps to realize my dream
C.Love in Michigan
D.Money grows on trees
62.The underlined word"no-frills"in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning toB.
A.wasteful       B.tight
C.a(chǎn)bsurd         D.helpful
63.From the last but the third paragraph we can infer that the mother isC.
A.divorced when she was young        
B.not caring for her kids any longer
C.a(chǎn)lone but not at all lonely            
D.prouder.

分析 本文的母親寫了自己一直希望有個(gè)花園,但是孩子們小的時(shí)候沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)愿望,等孩子們長(zhǎng)大了,孩子們用自己的愛心給媽媽一個(gè)花園的故事.

解答 60.答案是D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"Money was tight"家里的錢是很緊張的,所以當(dāng)孩子要花太多的錢買東西的時(shí)候,媽媽就會(huì)說錢不是長(zhǎng)在樹上的,意思是掙錢不容易哪有搖錢樹啊,故答案選D.
61.答案是 A.主旨大意題,縱觀全文,本文寫得是我對(duì)花園的渴望以及我的花園是如何建立起來的,從中展現(xiàn)了孩子們的孝心的感人故事,所以答案A最好.
62.答案是B.猜測(cè)詞義題,根據(jù)前文中"gardens do cost money"花園的確花費(fèi)很高,"after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean,no-frills budget"這么多年來我已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了過著一種緊張的預(yù)算生活,可見這里指的是用錢不多,與前文的花費(fèi)很多成對(duì)比,所以答案選B.
63.答案是C.推理判斷題,從本段之中的描述冬去春來作者守著自己的花園,想著兒女們的孝心,可以推斷她是一個(gè)人生活,但是兒女們的愛并不會(huì)讓她感到孤獨(dú),所以答案選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)

8.An old story goes as follows.King took another wife,who had a magic mirror.The queen often asked the mirror,"Mirror,mirror on the wall,who is the fairest of all?"The mirror answered"You,Queen,are the fairest of all,"and the Queen was content,because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth.
Inspired by the fairy tale,a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared (紅外線的) technology that sends a live video to any cell phone,e-mail account or personal digital assistant (PDA) device selected by a shopper.
Christopher Enrich,chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson,said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends-even they are far apart.
"She could be in Paris,your mom,watching you try on your wedding dress(while you are in New York),"Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive (互動(dòng)的)mirror at a  trade show.
Using the interactive mirror,a shopper's friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on.
Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled (面板) mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories (配件),Enright said.
The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database,and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on.
The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like.
Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping."This is…adding technology to something we already do,"Enright said.

66.The interactive mirror mentioned in the textA.
A.involves modern technology and great advantages
B.a(chǎn)llows women shoppers to select clothes at home
C.was displayed and sold well at a trade show
D.spares people's trouble of going shopping
67.Which is the most possible order according to the passage?D
①Shoppers'friends or relatives text message back with comments.
②Mirrors send a live video to any mobile phone,e-mail account or PDA.
③Consumers make a final decision.
④Shoppers try on the clothes.
A.①②③④B.④③②①C.②①④③D.④②①③
68.From the passage we can conclude thatC.
A.the interactive mirrors will surely promote sales on a large scale
B.the designer of the mirror has profited a lot from the invention
C.the new shopping technology would cater to fashion hunters
D.the digital mirrors will replace all traditional fitting-rooms
69.Which of the following descriptions about the touch screen is true?B
A.It enables a shopper to order a suit which is not available now.
B.It allows shoppers to"try on"chosen clothes without putting them on.
C.The touch screens are distributed on three more panels.
D.It provides information merely about shoes and accessories.
70.What is the text mainly about?C
A.The great influence of a fairy tale.
B.The development of the interactive mirror.
C.Working principles of a digital product.
