When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students sneered（冷笑）, the  36  nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only   37  can become writers, ” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term. ” I was so  38   that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short  39  poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my  40  , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and  41  writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They  42  . “Just plain dumb luck. ” the teacher said. I tasted  43  and I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was  44  with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of  45  , letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I   46  from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks（剪貼簿） filled with my published works. I  47   mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and  48  people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their   49  .
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. I wrote what I felt. It  50  nine months, just like a pregnant woman. I mailed it without a self addressed stamped  51  and without making a copy of the manu script.
A month later I received a（n）  52  , and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars. In my best year I earned 36, 000 dollars.   53  years I earned between five thousand and ten thousand. No, it isn’t enough to live  54  , but it’s still more than I’d make working part time. People ask what college I   55  , what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is： “None. ” I just write. I’m not a genius.

試題分析：在文中作者講述了自己小時(shí)候的一段經(jīng)歷。他曾經(jīng)告訴過(guò)別人自己想當(dāng)作家的夢(mèng)想，但是每次都受到嘲諷譏笑，從此他選擇沉默，再也不在別人面前提自己的夢(mèng)想。文章告訴我們的是：永遠(yuǎn)不要做別人夢(mèng)想的扼殺者。
小題1:D形容詞辨析。A.全部的B. 其他的C. 多數(shù)的D. 剩余的。從前句作者講的half the students sneered，可知此處是指其余的，剩下的學(xué)生，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。
小題2:C 名詞辨析。A.將軍B. 政治家C. 天才D. 間諜。從下句 “And you are getting a D this term.可以推測(cè)老師認(rèn)為作者成績(jī)差不可能成為作家，再根據(jù)文章最后作者說(shuō)的“I just write. I’m not a genius.”可知當(dāng)時(shí)老師應(yīng)該指的是genius，所以答案選C。
小題3:C形容詞辨析。 A.高興的；B.憂慮的；C. 羞愧的；D. 沮喪的。從上文可知作者受到老師和同學(xué)們的嘲諷譏笑，根據(jù)情理判斷應(yīng)該感覺(jué)很羞愧以至于哭了，所以答案選C。
小題4:A形容詞辨析。A. 悲傷的 ；B. 單純的； C.失望的；D. 迷惑的。通過(guò)上文的講述可以知道作者的夢(mèng)想被別人無(wú)情的擊碎了，由此可知心情會(huì)悲傷，難過(guò)。故正確答案為A。
小題5:B名詞辨析。 A.樂(lè)趣；B.驚愕；C. 舒適；D. 快樂(lè)。根據(jù)上文可知作者因?yàn)閯e人對(duì)自己的嘲笑而夢(mèng)想破滅，所以當(dāng)看到自己的詩(shī)被發(fā)表后，應(yīng)該感到難以置信，故B選項(xiàng)正確。
小題6:C動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 借入；B. 借出；C. 付款；D. 花費(fèi)。從上文sent me two dollars可知此處是指付稿費(fèi)的作者，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題7:D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 哭；B. 同意；C. 發(fā)誓；D. 笑。從上下文可知當(dāng)作者告訴他們的時(shí)候，他們都不相信，連老師都說(shuō)是瞎貓逮住了個(gè)死耗子，由此推斷同學(xué)們聽(tīng)到他的話，是哄堂大笑，所以D正確。
小題8:B 名詞辨析。A. 失��；B. 成功 ；C.冷淡；D. 擠壓。上文講作者的小詩(shī)發(fā)表了，所以作者應(yīng)該是嘗到了成功的喜悅，故B選項(xiàng)正確。
小題9:A 形容詞辨析。A. 好的；B. 混合的；C. 作比較的。D.滿的。前句講我做到了別人做不到的，所以哪怕是偶然的運(yùn)氣，作者也是高興的。正確答案是A。
小題10:D名詞辨析。 A. 書籍；B.詩(shī)人；C. 小說(shuō)；D. 詩(shī)歌。從空后面的letters, jokes and recipes.等可知此處應(yīng)該是指發(fā)表的作品，而且后面說(shuō)把他們粘在剪貼簿里，所以不會(huì)是書或者小說(shuō)，故答案選D。
小題11:C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 退出；B.離開(kāi)； C. 畢業(yè)；D. 中止。從故事的發(fā)展和下文的with a C minus average,可以推測(cè)作者是畢業(yè)了，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題12:B副詞辨析。 A. 曾經(jīng)；B. 從不；C. 幾乎不；D. 甚至。根據(jù)下文They were dream killers和作者遭到的嘲笑可知作者再也不告訴別人自己的夢(mèng)想了。A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題13:A連詞辨析。A.如果；B. 除非；C. 直到… 才；D.在… 之前。根據(jù)上下文可以推測(cè)得知此處是作者提出的一種假設(shè)，假設(shè)要在朋友和夢(mèng)想之間做出取舍，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題14:D名詞辨析。A. 教師 ；B.家庭；C.朋友；D. 夢(mèng)想。從作者的經(jīng)歷和做法可以判斷作者會(huì)選擇夢(mèng)想。所以選D。
小題15:C動(dòng)詞辨析。A.花費(fèi)（時(shí)間，金錢） ；B.花費(fèi)；（某人）錢 ；C（ 做某事）；花費(fèi)（某人）時(shí)間D. 浪費(fèi)。從詞的用法可知spend的主語(yǔ)得是人，而cost主語(yǔ)雖然可以是事物，但是花費(fèi)的得是錢，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題16:B名詞辨析。A.書信；B. 信封； C. 作者； D. 封皮。從常識(shí)可知寄信要用信封，所以B正確。
小題17:A名詞辨析。A.協(xié)議； B.版本；C. 貿(mào)易； D. 專利權(quán)。根據(jù)后句and a request to start working on another book.可知編輯社要求他繼續(xù)寫書，所以應(yīng)該寄來(lái)的是一份協(xié)議，故A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題18:C 形容詞辨析。A.最近的；B. 值得紀(jì)念的 C.大多數(shù)的D. 幾個(gè)。前兩句講了最好的年收入，最低的年收入，由此可知此處應(yīng)該是大多數(shù)時(shí)候的收入， C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題19:B介詞辨析。A.跟，和 ；B.在…上；C. 由，D. 在…里。句中it指的是收入的錢，而固定短語(yǔ) live on “靠。。。生活”，所以判斷B選項(xiàng)正確。
小題20:D動(dòng)詞辨析。A. 應(yīng)得；B. 介紹；C. 找到；D. 參加。下文講別人問(wèn)他的學(xué)位、資格證等，由此判斷此處是問(wèn)上什么大學(xué)。Attend college “上大學(xué)”。

Baroness Thatcher, Britain’s greatest post-war prime minister, died at the age of 87 after suffering a stroke (a disease related to blood vessels in the brain), her family announced on 8 April 2013. Her son, Sir Mark, and daughter Carol confirmed her death that morning.
Margaret Thatcher, daughter of a businessman and mayor of Grantham, was educated at the local grammar school, and at Oxford, where she got a degree in chemistry, and upon graduation she worked for four years as a research chemist. She then qualified as a lawyer in 1954.
As Miss Margaret Roberts, she stood twice in parliamentary (國(guó)會(huì)的) elections for the Conservative Party (保守黨), before being elected (after her marriage) to the House of Commons in 1959.

Baroness Thatcher became prime minister on 4 May 1979 and went on to earn the nickname “the Iron Lady”, becoming known for her strong responses to the political and economic crisis, which Thatcher’s supporters think are good for Britain, while her opposers argue that her policies destroyed British manufacturing.

Yesterday I went to our local grocery store. I often go to their deli counter, and I understand that it can get a little confused for the workers. So normally none of them ever take the time to smile or seem overly friendly. But yesterday it was completely different. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a very welcoming smile by the young man behind the counter. He never sighed heavily or slumped back and forth like he didn’t want to be there. He was all by himself and quite a long line. But not once did he act concerned about it. He just did his job efficiently and acted very kind the entire time.
I was so impressed that I approached the manager. I explained to her that I often visit the deli counter and I have never been greeted with such kindness. She agreed with me that he was a wonderful person and she thanked me for sharing my feelings with her.
As I was walking away，I could hear her approaching the young man with，“I just got a wonderful compliment(praise) about you.” I couldn't hear everything she was saying，but I knew that she did thank him. I couldn't help but smile!
Later I had to pass by the deli counter to get onions. There was no one there，except the diligent young man. He didn't say anything，he just smiled at me. I realized that I hadn't done a huge deed that day，but that small deed made a small difference to someone．I love seeing people smile. I just received my smile cards and I wish I had one with me that day. Maybe I will drop one off at the deli a different day! It's amazing how good I felt after that.
So，friends，the next time you are in a grocery store，retail store，restaurant，or anywhere that someone is working hard，letting them know in some way can mean so much. I hope you get a smile out of it like I did!

My parents always raised me to have strong values and hold firm to my confidence in life, and this was never more proved than when a situation arose when it would be easy for most people to ignore it.
A gentleman at my father’s work smelled awful and neglected his behavior, and as the months went by, he showed signs of confusion. After being told to pick up papers at another building, he would be found sitting at his desk staring at his shoes; after being reminded (to which he would completely believe he hadn’t been told the first time), he would be found once again sitting at his desk in the same position. This happened to worsening degrees over a few months and his coworkers either ignored it or were ignorant to this due to a lack of social association with the man.
My father began to mentally record all of this and finally sat down with him one day when he was found two hours after work was out, sitting in his car, looking like he didn’t know where to go. Apparently the gentleman was in the beginning/middle stages of Alzheimer’s and there was someone who used his forgetfulness as a reason to ask him for money every few days. My father took this man to a hospital (for the first time in years) to be properly treated, and then got a caretaker to watch over his condition. He then went to the man’s house and helped him sort out all of his financial matters and get his retirement set up; they went to the bank and had a government worker ensure that his bills would be paid for and his children would no longer get to treat him like a personal ATM.
That my father took his much personal time to help another man that so many had forgotten or would choose to neglect, or even make fun of, truly shows his character.
小題1:The author presents this passage by ______.
A．telling an instructive storyB．describing his father
C．reasoning with some factsD．giving causes and effects
小題2:What can we infer from the passage?
A．The gentleman was ignored by his co-workers.
B．The gentleman was so serious that no one liked him.
C．The gentleman was good at communication with his co-workers.
D．The gentleman was in great need of help because of his illness.
小題3: In the eyes of the author, his father is ______.
A．hopefulB．strictC．stubbornD．helpful
小題4:Which proverb is suitable for the story?
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．A friend to all is a friend to none.
C．Friendship cannot stand always on one side.
D．False friends are worse than open enemies.

I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to   40  that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,   41 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very   42  city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong.

His friend’s main   44  in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he   45   had his own tennis court.

I told him that I knew several   47  like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He   48  that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he   49  but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me   50  my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence   51  his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a   52  who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had   53  the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
