解析:

 1.用before的意思是說,沒有多遠就遇上了紅燈。

2.從上下文及交通常識,判斷答案。

3. 從上文意思看,應(yīng)選擇把門拉“開”。

 4.警察的目的是要“抓住”前面那輛車上的人,而不是“跟蹤”那輛車。

 5.此選項是“抱歉”之意。警察開始沒有注意,后來才發(fā)現(xiàn)車里有位乘客,覺得有些冒失,故說了句抱歉的話。

6.從上下文分析,應(yīng)為提高速度。

7.“又遇上了紅燈”,因為前面已經(jīng)說過,曾遇到過紅燈。

8.draw up“停車”。 alongside“并排”。

9.pull out“拽出來”。

10.sign“打手勢”,意思是讓“我”過去。

11.小偷應(yīng)該被送往警察局。

12.上了那輛被偷的車,因為后面說“那輛出租車跟在后面”。

13.這是一個語法填空,with+名/代+分詞,這被稱之為“with獨立結(jié)構(gòu)”。

14. 人們都不愿和小偷坐在一起。

15.“沒有選擇”即“只好這樣做”。

16.“幸虧”。這是說,雖不愿和小偷為伴,但好在路不遠,不會和他在一起坐很長時間。

17.這位作者所做的事只是幫了個忙而已。并不是他主動地見義勇為(deed,action)。

18. “生氣”同后面司機所說的“希望這事不再發(fā)生了”相一致。

 19.be obliged to do“被迫做不情愿的事”。

20.從所給答案結(jié)合句子的具體語境可知答案。

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests liked Kelly more, the younger one, enjoying her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a unusual girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect(影響) the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being paid no attention. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said,” Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Why don’t they say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging(擁抱) her to make her feel better.
Now whenever I visit a friend’s home. I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
【小題1】The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” (paragraph 4) means_______.

A.show much concern aboutB.have a special effect on
C.list jobs to be done forD.do good things for
【小題2】We can conclude from the passage that_______.
A.parents should pay more attention to the elder children
B.the younger children are usually more easily hurt
C.people usually like the younger children more
D.a(chǎn)dults should treat children equally
【小題3】Kristen felt sad and cried because_______.
A.the guests gave her more coats to carry
B.she didn't look as pretty as Kelly
C.the guests enjoyed her sister more than her
D.her mother didn’t introduce her the guests

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not the desperate steeplechases(障礙賽跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother—the same house my father was raised in, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from all the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road race to jetting to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel sepia-toned, an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural cast(特質(zhì))still harbors at least remnants of the ethic of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反復(fù)無常的情況)and a challenging environment.
63.The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when _______.
A. everyone was paying a visit to some relative far away
B. everyone seemed to be free and could have some leisure
C. Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
D. nearly every adult would go to church and children were not at school
64.In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because _______.
A. people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
B. such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
C. people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
D. visiting someone on Sunday might take a lot of time
65.From the last paragraph we may infer that _______.
A. people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
B. people in Maine has abandoned their tradition and lived an absolute new life
C. land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense
D. people in Maine always help each other when they are in need
66.Which word we may use to describe the writer’s attitude towards the Sunday today?
A. Unsatisfied.          B. Anxious.          C. Treasured.          D. Teased.
