10.Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

分析 本文屬于記敘文題材.在文中作者講述了她們一家經(jīng)歷的一件事情.作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包,正當(dāng)著急的時(shí)候,有人打電話給送了回來,原來是那家人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們家的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件,然后給送還了回來,通過這件事作者一家又找回了對(duì)人們的信任.

解答 21.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章首段"Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house."可知Rashid獨(dú)自一人到了悉尼后住在旅館中,同時(shí)到處去給家人找房子住,故答案選B.
22.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend."可知陌生人一家是通過作者丈夫文件中的一封信里的內(nèi)容得知他的電話號(hào)碼的,故答案選C.
23.D.猜測詞義題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents."可知那家人把撿到的文件替作者的丈夫保存著,然后送還給他,由此判斷該詞意思是"歸還",故答案選B.
24.C.標(biāo)題歸納題.文章講述了作者的丈夫丟失的物品被扔到了垃圾箱,但是有一個(gè)好心的家庭卻把那些文件等整理好送還給作者的丈夫,這些別人眼里的垃圾對(duì)作者的丈夫來說非常重要,由此判斷C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容更能體現(xiàn)文章中心,故答案選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀理解.在解題時(shí)注意通過全篇把握文章大意再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)尋找關(guān)鍵字詞的辦法來排除答案,注意細(xì)節(jié)題較多,應(yīng)多細(xì)心進(jìn)行分析.

15.Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain.The Stonehenge we see today is the final stage that was completed about 3,500 years ago.
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork,consisting of a ditch(溝),bank and the Aubrey holes,all probably built around 3,100BC.The holes themselves were not for the purpose of graves,but as a part of religious ceremony.
The second stage of Stonehenge started around 2,150BC.About 82 bluestones,some weighing 4tons each,is thought to have been carried by water along the south coast of Wales and up the rivers Avon and Frome,before being dragged overland again to near Warminster,about 6miles away.The final stage of the journey was mainly by water,down the river Wylye to Salisbury,then the Salisbury Avon to west Amesbury.These stones were set up in the center to form an incomplete double circle.
The third stage of Stonehenge,about 2,000BC,saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones,which were almost brought from Avebury,about 25 miles north of Stonehenge.
The final stage took place soon after 1,500BC when the bluestones were rearranged on the horseshoe and circle that we see today.

29.How long has Stonehenge existed?D
A.About 1,500years.
B.About 2,000years.
C.About 2,500years.
D.About 5,000years.
30.What was the probable use for the Aubrey holes?D
A.They were used as graves      
 B.They were used to attract tourists.
C.They were used to hide precious stones.
D.They were used for religious activities.
31.Which of the following places is nearest to Stonehenge?C
A.Warminster.
B.Salisbury.
C.Amesbury.
D.Avebury.
32.What does the text mainly talk about?B
A.The origin of Stonehenge.
B.The history of Stonehenge.

It all began with a stop at a red light.

Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter,Hannah,back from a sleepover in 2006.While waiting at a traffic light,they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.

"Dad,if that man had a less nice car,that man there could have a meal," Hannah protested.The light changed and they drove on,but Hannah was too young to be reasonable.She pestered(糾纏)her parents about inequity,insisting that she wanted to do something.

"What do you want to do?" her mom responded. "Sell our house?"

Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds(收入)to charity,while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.

Eventually,that's what the family did.The project—crazy,impetuous(魯莽的)and absolutely inspiring—is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: The Power of Half.It's a book that,frankly,I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it.An impressionable child reads this,and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.

At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere,when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes,the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference—for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help.In a column a week ago,it described neurological(神經(jīng)生物學(xué)的)evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction.The Salwens' experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.

Mr.Salwen and his wife,Joan,had always assumed that their kids would be better bigger house.But after they downsized,there was much less space to retreat to,so the family members spent more time around each other.A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.

1.What does the underlined word "inequity" most probably mean in Paragraph 3?

A. Unfairness. B. Satisfaction.

C. Personal attitude. D. Reasonable statement.

2.What is suggested in the underlined sentence "Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager." in Paragraph 5?

A. Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager.

B. Unless a child is realistic,never give an answer immediately.

C. Give an answer if the child is reasonable.

D. Don't respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration.

3.Which of the following statements is IRUE according to the passage?

A. Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.

B. Unselfishness has nothing to do with people's primary satisfaction.

C. Hannah asked her parents to do charity and they sold their house.

D. The writer's children asked him to sell their house.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The Salwens regretted selling their house.

B. The family members get much closer.

C. Small houses can bring happiness.

D. The Salwens intend to buy another big house.
