When you’re a preteen, a huge problem might be that you just have to have a new rock-rap CD,   1 your parents won’t give you the money for it. I thought life was so  2 when things like this happened-----until September 11, 2001.

I was in P.E. when the planes hit the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. As soon as I got home and for weeks before, I saw the disaster  3 on TV. Seeing the innocent people running for their 4 as the debris(瓦礫) started coming down the fire and smoke rose out of the  5 brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t help imagining what the people on the   6 and in the buildings were thinking and going through, not  7 what was going on. I admired the courage of the firefighters who rushed in and risked their own lives to   8 others. It tore my heart apart to watch the  9 looks on the faces of so many people who didn’t know if their loved ones were dead or alive while  10 in all the debris.

Then it  11 me: All my life I had thought mainly of myself. I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted.

A feeling of coldness  12 down my back, and I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily  13 to my family. My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again. I began to evaluate what a real  14 in life was.

This disaster  15 me that awful things can happen to anyone at any time. Now when my mom or dad or sister go somewhere, even if it’s just  16 the store, I try to remember to tell them that I love them because I know there is a   17 that I may never tell them that   18 .

Not getting a new CD is not going to   19 my life. I can live with those kinds of problems. But losing someone I love would  20 make my life miserable.

【解析】

試題分析：本文的主要內(nèi)容是：曾經(jīng)的我很自我，只想到自己，在發(fā)生9.11這次災(zāi)難后，我恍然大悟，要珍惜身邊的親人。這次災(zāi)難讓我明白了失去摯愛(ài)的親人才是最令人痛不欲生的事情。

1. 根據(jù)your parents won’t give you the money for it，可知前面是我想要的搖滾樂(lè)光盤(pán)，后面是父母不給錢(qián)買(mǎi)，是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用but，故選C。      

2. 根據(jù)下文Not getting a new CD is not going to break my life，可知這里描述life，后面說(shuō)到當(dāng)這樣的事情發(fā)生，即前文中我想要買(mǎi)搖滾樂(lè)光盤(pán)，父母不給錢(qián)買(mǎi)的事情，所以應(yīng)該是負(fù)態(tài)度詞，排除C和D中性詞。B描述人指不愉快的，描述物的意思為不舒適的，所以選擇A。

3.動(dòng)作的主語(yǔ)是disaster災(zāi)難。occur和strike都表示發(fā)生的瞬間，這里提到隨后的幾周，明顯是已經(jīng)發(fā)生了，所以排除。happen表示偶然、碰巧發(fā)生。所以應(yīng)選unfold，表示展開(kāi)，一種逐步深入的感覺(jué)。故選D。

4. 具體名詞找重復(fù)或相關(guān)對(duì)應(yīng)，這里的災(zāi)難、瓦礫、火、煙都和人們的生命有直接關(guān)系，所以選lives。故選A。

5. 具體名詞找重復(fù)或相關(guān)對(duì)應(yīng)，煙是從樓里冒出來(lái)，所以選buildings。故選B.

6.具體名詞，發(fā)生災(zāi)難的人是飛機(jī)上和樓上的，所以選planes。故選B。

7.此題的關(guān)鍵在于找到動(dòng)作發(fā)出者是誰(shuí)，動(dòng)作發(fā)出者是前面的people，即遇到災(zāi)難的人們。他們不知道發(fā)生了什么，所以選knowing。caring表示關(guān)心，很容易就可以排除。容易誤選的只有believing，但是只要記得believing的根本含義是認(rèn)為，和thinking相同，即可一起排除了，故選 D。

8.動(dòng)作發(fā)出者是消防員，所以是冒生命危險(xiǎn)拯救別人，故選B。

9.描述looks，那些不知道自己心愛(ài)的人生死的人們，一定是負(fù)態(tài)度形容詞。puzzle表示不明白的疑惑感，severe表示周?chē)闆r的嚴(yán)重性，dirty是表面上臟的感覺(jué)，都不合適。所以選擇desperate絕望的，描述人物心理。，故選D。

10.此題為被動(dòng)考察，動(dòng)作發(fā)出者是心愛(ài)的人，所以不能是hidden被藏在和placed被放在。found被發(fā)現(xiàn)后當(dāng)然知道生死，所以是trapped被困在，故選C。

11.根據(jù)All my life I had thought mainly of myself. I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted可知我受到了打擊，故選A。

12.根據(jù)下文I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily happened to my family可知這里想說(shuō)一種冷的感覺(jué)從后背傾斜而下。故選C。

13.根據(jù)下文My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again可知這里想表達(dá)可能會(huì)發(fā)生在我家里，happen發(fā)生 compare比較 relate聯(lián)系 turn轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，故選A。

14.根據(jù)下文I can live with those kinds of problems，故選B。

15.這次災(zāi)難教會(huì)了我可怕的事情可能隨時(shí)發(fā)生在任何人身上，persuade說(shuō)服 remind提醒inform通知，故選C。

16.表示方向、目的地，用介詞to，故選A。

17.根據(jù)This disaster taughtme that awful things can happen to anyone at any time.可知有可能我今后再也不能和她們說(shuō)我愛(ài)她們，故選 C。

18.根據(jù)My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again，故選D。

19.根據(jù)I can live with those kinds of problems可知經(jīng)過(guò)這件事以后，不能買(mǎi)一張新的光盤(pán)已經(jīng)不能破壞我的生活，故選D。

20.根據(jù)But losing someone I love可知失去至親的人才會(huì)真正地令我痛不欲生，故選B。

考點(diǎn)：這是一篇敘事類(lèi)短文。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：答題前一定要讀懂全文，弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想，注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中，一定要認(rèn)真分析，注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系，與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來(lái)完成，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語(yǔ)句通順，語(yǔ)意連貫。

  Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?

    Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Buffler of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (貫穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.

    To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. /sq.cm.); a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw./sq.cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw./sq.cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw./sq. cm.

    In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwaves oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)

    While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.

Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?

    A. A new heating system.    B. A new microwave oven.

    C. A popular technique.     D. The magnetron.

The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about ____.

    A. 20 mw. / sq. cm.         B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.

    C. 60 mw. / sq. cm.         D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.

According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?

    A. The magnetron.       B. The motion detector.

    C. The microwave oven.      D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.

Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?

    A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.

    B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.

C. Microwave heaters will be probably first used by livestock farmers to protect their lambs in winter.

D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

I know what you’re thinking : pizza （比薩餅）? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to. 

I know lots of women who skip breakfast （不吃早餐） , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories （卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food .  

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.   21  Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.  

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.  

The word “l(fā)eftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.

 A.food remaining after a meal        B. things left undone 

 C. meals made of vegetables          D. pizza topped with fruit 

What can we infer from the text? 

A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.  

B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.  

C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.  

D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.  

According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.
