A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no on the plane. We have a generator(發(fā)電機), and we are going to the engines with it. We will in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”

See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to ！” There were sighs of and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”

There was crying we had walked in to grave(墳?zāi)?. But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone for still being alive.

Although I do sincerely like to have a plan “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals with inaction just because they don’t have success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap­pens.

If you are planning to learn a new skill, “get up in the air, and see what happens!” It might not be as as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no of guaran­teed success.

試題分析：文章講述了作者一次乘飛機的經(jīng)歷，因為故障問題，飛機只能用發(fā)電機發(fā)電，但是飛行員還是計劃起飛，期望能安全抵達(dá)。雖然乘客非常絕望，但是結(jié)果卻令人慶幸。從這件事作者想到在生活中有計劃固然不錯，但是有時在沒有十足把握的時候去嘗試一下，也未必是錯誤的選擇。

19.考查名詞辨析。A. fun有趣的事情；B. pain痛苦；   C. sorrow悲傷；  D. trouble困難。根據(jù)作者經(jīng)歷的事情的結(jié)局和上文It might not be as …..as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought.可知這種偶然出現(xiàn)的狀況可能是一件有趣的事情。根據(jù)句意選A.

20.考查名詞辨析。A. meaning意思；B. sigh標(biāo)志；C. action行動；D. reward獎賞。通過這件事作者意識到遇到意外情況不要因為僅僅沒有確保成功的跡象就感覺束手無策，坐以待斃。根據(jù)句意選B。

I grew up in Jamaica Plain. My best friend Rose and I used to dream about raising a family of our own someday and living next door to one another.

Our dream remained alive through school and beyond. Rose was my maid of honor when I married Dick. Later, Dick was stationed in Alaska and we moved. Rose was sad to see me leave, but wished me the best of luck. We remained in touch for a few years before we lost track.

I thought of her several times over the years. All of my children now have families of their own, and Dick passed away a few years ago. Basically, a lifetime has passed. Then one day, near my 80th birthday, I received a phone call “Hi Natalie, it’s Rose,” the voice on the other end said, “ I don’t know if you remember me, but we used to be best friends in Jamaica Plain when we were kids.”

We have spent hours on the phone catching up. Even after 52 years of separation our personalities and interests are still extremely similar. We both share a passion for several hobbies that we each picked up independently several years after we lost touch with one another. It almost feels like we are picking up right where we left off.

Her husband died a few years ago as well, but she mailed me several photographs of her family that were taken over the years. It’s so crazy, just looking at the photos and listening to her description of her family reminds me of my own: a reasonably large, healthy family. Part of me feels like we led fairly similar lives.

I don’t think the similarities between our two lives are a coincidence either. I think it shows that we didn’t just call each other best friend; we truly were best friends and even now we can be best friends again. Real friends have two things in common: a compatible(相容的)personality and a strong-willed character. The compatible personality is what starts the connection between two people.

A strong-willed character at both ends is what maintains the connection. If those two ingredients are present in a friendship, the friendship is for real, It can pass the tests of time and long distance between one another and will never disappear.

1.From the passage we may know that the author .

A. lived next door to Rose in her childhood

B.was Rose’s maid of honor when she was married

C.lost touch of Rose since she moved to Alaska

D. missed her friend although they lost contact

2.After 52 years of separation, they .

A.had a lot to talk on the phone

B. sent each other photographs of their family

C.they lived the same life

D. developed different personalities and hobbies

3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to .

A. Rose’s description

B. coincidence

C. best friend

D. the similarities between our two lives

4.The author thinks that .

A. the similarities between their lives are coincident

B. although they’re not best friends, they have much in commom.

C. they both have a compatible personality and a strong-willed character

D. only those who have similar characters can be real friends

Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it－using her key.

Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry（豐田凱美瑞）and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.

When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report.

The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.

When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom（贖金）,” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged.

Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（點火裝置） as well - so high-five for Toyota. I guess." he said.

1. What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?

A. removed. B. damaged.

C. stolen. D. sold.

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Mrs. Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.

B. Mrs. Anderson stole Charlie's car at the request of her daughter.

C. Charlie had thought he had to give Anderson money to get his car back.

D. Mrs. Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.

3. What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?

A. He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.

B. He should thank Toyota for returning his car.

C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.

D. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.

4. What is likely to happen next according to the passage?

A. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.

B. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.

C. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.

D. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.
