13．①The past year，which is fast becoming just a memory，is the year I drove through the car wash at fifty miles an hour．At least，it felt like fifty miles an hour．
②That day I followed the attendant's instructions，drove to one of those do-it-yourself car washes．I forgot that my car was a bit moody．I'd been meaning to have it checked，but it didn't happen often enough to rush me to the garage．Anyway，then unexpectedly，suddenly we picked up speed before the astonished eyes of the attendant．The car shot through the wash cycle，the wax（蠟）cycle，and the dry cycle at a ridiculous rate of speed，and then aimed for the street at the end of the tunnel．We shot through the tunnel with what seemed like the speed of sound and rushed out into the street while I was relieved to see that no cars were approaching．The water and the wax had not yet dried-the car looked as if it had caught some terrible disease．
③"What happened then？"Bobbie asked after I had told my family the story at an evening meal．
④"Nothing，"I said．
⑤"Didn't you go back to the car wash？"
⑥"Of course not，"I replied．
⑦"I don't blame you，"Peter said．"They might have arrested you for speeding in a car wash．"
⑧We all laughed．It was a nice moment．We were relaxing after the dishes had been taken away，the pleasant smell of coffee filling the air．We had been talking about the past year and，without pausing to think of the possible consequences，I had told them about my experience with the car wash．
⑨The story delighted the children-who are no longer children．Peter and Bobbie are married，in fact，and I realized I had given them a sort of philosophy of life for the future．I could imagine them，years from now，when they gather together and one of them will say，"Remember the time Dad drove through that car wash …？"
⑩Other things happened last year，too，because each year has its events，the good and the bad，the sweet and the sorrowful，the ordinary and the terrific．The milestones and the small incidents stand side by side，fundamentally different in quality or kind，perhaps，but making a sweet kind of harmony．

66．The description of the second paragraph brings up images ofA．
A．disorder   B．diseases   C．storms   D．conflict
67．Which of the following is NOT included in Paragraph 8？D
A．The subject of the discussion．
B．The atmosphere of the family talk．
C．The time when the talk occurred．
D．The reason for the car to lose control．
68．Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage？B
A．A reflection on car trade
B．A memory of the past year
C．A lesson on driving cars
D．A car accident at a car wash．

分析 本文主要講述了作者回憶了他去年在洗車房里所發(fā)生的故事，而每一年都會發(fā)生一些事情，好與壞，甜蜜與憂傷，平凡與了不起，這些事可能截然不同，但也會給我們帶來不同的感受．

解答 66．A  理解推斷題，通讀第二段后可知第二段的描述給我們的印象是混亂的，故選A
67．D  細節(jié)理解題，由第八段We were relaxing after the dishes had been taken away，the pleasant smell of coffee filling the air．We had been talking about the past year and，without pausing to think of the possible consequences，I had told them about my experience with the car wash．可知這一段提到了談話的主題，時間及家庭談話的氣氛，故選D．
68．B  主旨大意題，本文講述的是作者回憶過去一年發(fā)生的事，故選B．

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問題回到原文，尋找細節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

8．Through the wonders of modern technology，our world is more connected than ever before．Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button．Companies can do business and compete with companies across the globe．And we can text，email，Skype with people on every continent．
So studying abroad isn't just a fun way to spend a semester； it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy．Because getting ahead in today's work places isn't just about getting good grades or test scores in school，which are important．It's also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders--experience with languages，cultures and societies very different from your own．Or，as the Chinese saying goes："It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books．"
But let's be clear，studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future．It's also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share．Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time--whether it's climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons--these are shared challenges．And no one country can confront them alone．The only way forward is together．

5．Pressure and Pleasure
The town of Pressure and the town of Pleasure were neighbors but had nothing in common．（71）C
In Pressure，everyone struggled to be the very best．When women gave birth，they would compete to have the baby with the loudest cry．（72）B Because wealth was the index（指數(shù)）of success，people were always busy making money，with no time for relaxation．Some young people couldn't bear the intensity（緊張） and resorted to drink or drugs to escape．
（73）E People grew up without pressure and could do anything they liked．Children played computer games day and night．At school，teachers didn't care whether students showed up or not．Workers might sit around the office all day long sipping coffee and doing nothing．Thanks to the lack of regulation，nobody worried about losing their jobs．（74）A No one had the slightest thought of moving forward，either for themselves or for the town．The computers they used were old models from Pressure．
Some of the young in both were addicted to drugs because of the emptiness of their lives．Then，people in the two towns began asking themselves，"What is life for？"But，just before life in the two towns completely failed，there came a saint-Mr．Reason．He went from door to door，talking with people and giving advice．People in Pressure learnt to be content with what they had，while people in Pleasure began to make plans．（75）G The townspeople came to realize the truth-there is no space between Pressure and Pleasure if don't go to extremes．

A．It was pleasure that mattered．
B．There was violent competition in every aspect of life．
C．Citizens built walls to keep out influence from the other town．
D．Success was not significantly affected by the size of the pressure sore．
E．Meanwhile，in Pleasure，the motto was"as long as you like it，do it．"
F．Although they got as much pleasure as possible，they didn't have a better life．
G．They pulled down the walls between them and built a road to connect the two．

2．My husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted．A beautiful house，three healthy children and one more on the way，two cars，a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment-We really had it all and we loved it．Then，the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone．The company was closing down forever．
We both started looking for jobs right away，but there weren't any to be found．With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through． The more we pulled together，the closer we got．I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years．
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation．I continually asked him to stop，but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job．
Finally，one afternoon I pulled him aside and said，"We have four healthy children and each other．That's what's important．That makes you a rich man．"
"But what if we lose the house？They'll hate me-you'll hate me，"he replied．

I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed．He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time．It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family．
We are still struggling for our better life，but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us．
24．We know from the story thatC．
A．they both found good jobs at last
B．her husband was out of work for his not working hard
C．both of them felt anxious about their unemployment

A．her husband worked harder for being closer
B．they had closer affection as they struggled together
C．their house was closer to the company than before
