分析 本文是一位從小就被母親送走的母親寫給女兒的一封情真意切的信，信里充滿了對(duì)女兒的愛(ài)以及對(duì)自己之前的生活的回想，對(duì)自己的母親的懷念之情．

解答 65．D  細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第一段中"You are more than just a second child，more than just a girl to match our boy．You，little daughter，are the link to our female line"可知這一天她的女兒出生了．更重要的是家族里的女性傳承得以延續(xù)．故選D．
66．B  推理題．根據(jù)第二段最后3行Worn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation，she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life．可知她的母親把她送走也是萬(wàn)般無(wú)奈，要不然兩個(gè)人沒(méi)有好的生活．所以她對(duì)母親的選擇是可以接受和理解的，但是同時(shí)被母親送走的確是一件很痛苦的事情．故選B．
67．D  推理題．根據(jù)段"In a family of blue-eyed blonds，though，I stood out like a sore thumb"．家里都是藍(lán)眼睛的白種人，而我是一個(gè)黃皮膚黑頭發(fā)的中國(guó)人．Though后面這句話說(shuō)明我和他們是不一樣的．故選D．
68．A  推理題．根據(jù)第四段中的"Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different，my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin，or made fun of my clumsy walk．"可知在這個(gè)家庭里不知道是處于嫉妒還是恐懼我的哥哥們有時(shí)會(huì)嘲笑我．再根據(jù)"My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years，but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents，and as women of strength in our own right"可知我和媽媽經(jīng)常發(fā)生沖突．這些事情讓我感覺(jué)自己的生活沒(méi)有安全感，總是很惶恐，缺乏安全感．進(jìn)而產(chǎn)生了身份危機(jī)．故選A．
69．C  推理題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段That，plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese，is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you．Not white，certainly，but not really Asian，I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you．Your name，"Shao-ming，"is very much like mine-"Shao"means"little．"And"ming"is"bright"可知母親想給女兒添加一些中國(guó)文化的元素，所以女兒的名字為Shao ming，讓女兒知道自己的祖先有中國(guó)血統(tǒng)．故選C．
70．B  推理題．根據(jù)下一句"and each day I cradle you in your babyhood，generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years．"得知母親一直在照顧著女兒，這和母親自己的經(jīng)歷是不同的．母親很小就被送走了，沒(méi)有享受到母愛(ài)．所以該句是指B項(xiàng)含義．故選B．

4．  Most people agree that honesty is a good thing．But does Mother Nature agree？Animals can't talk，but can they lie in other ways？Can they lie with their bodies and behavior？Animal experts may not call it lying，but they do agree that many animals，from birds to chimpanzees，behave dishonestly to fool other animals．Why？Dishonesty often helps them survive．
  Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals．For example，a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young．When a predator（獵食動(dòng)物）gets close to its nest，the plover leads the predator away from the nest．How？It pretends to have a broken wing．The predator follows the"hurt"adult，leaving the baby birds safe in the nest．
  Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries its food so it always has something to eat．Scrub jays are also thieves．They watch where others bury their food and steal it．But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them．So they go back later，unbury the food，and bury it again somewhere else．
  Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work．How？They don't make nests．Instead，they get into other birds'nests secretly．Then they lay their eggs and fly away．When the baby birds come out，their adoptive parents feed them．
  Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky．After a fight，the losing chimp will give its hand to the other．When the winning chimp puts out its hand，too，the chimps are friendly again．But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again．
  Chimps are sneaky in other ways，too．When chimps find food that they love，such as bananas，it is natural for them to cry out．Then other chimps come running．But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food．That way，other chimps don't hear them，and they don't need to share their food．
As children，many of us learn the saying"You can't fool Mother Nature．"But maybe you can't trust her，either．

66．A plover protects its young from a predator byD．
A．getting closer to its young             B．driving away the adult predator
C．leaving its young in another nest       D．pretending to be injured
67．By"Chimpanzees，or chimps，can also be sneaky"（paragraph 5），the author meansB．
A．chimps are ready to attack others       B．chimps are sometimes dishonest
C．chimps are jealous of the winners       D．chimps can be selfish too
68．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A．
A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others．
B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand．
C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests．
D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back．
69．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A．
A．Do animals lie？B．Does Mother Nature fool animals？
C．How do animals learn to lie？D．How does honesty help animals survive？

14．One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual．In 1879，Oxford University in England asked Prof．James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language．It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations （引文）showing how it was used．
This was a huge task，so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain，the United States，and the British colonies to search every newspaper，magazine，and book ever written in English．Hundreds of volunteers responded，including William Chester Minor．Dr．Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England．He gave his address as"Broadmoor，Crowthorne，Berkshire，""50 miles from Oxford．
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray．Over the next 17 years，he became one of the staff's most valued contributors．
But he was also a mystery．In spite of many invitations，he would always decline to visit Oxford．So in 1897，Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself．When he arrived，he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院） for the Criminally insane．
Murray and Minor became friends，sharing their love of words．Minor continued contributing to the dictionary，sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years．Murray continued to visit Minor regularly，sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds．
In 1910，Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America．Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend．
Minor died in 1920，seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed．The 12 volumes defined 414，825 words，and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient．

1．I carry a Rubik's Cube （魔方） in my backpack．Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter．I usually ask people to try it first．They just turn the cube over in their hands，not even knowing where to begin．That's exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read．Letters and words were out of order．Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic．
The Rubik's Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward．This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade．It's embarrassing to admit，but I still couldn't always spell my full name correctly．As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what's called"language-processing disorder"，I had to start over．I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district's high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence．
Now，I can easily solve the 5×5×5．I discover that just before it is solved，a problem can look like a mess，and then suddenly you can find the solution．Early in my Rubik's career，I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it．I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places．The Rubik's cube taught me that to accomplish something big，it helps to break it down into small pieces．I learned that it's important to spend a lot of time thinking，to try to find connections and patterns．I believe that there are surprises around the corner．
Like life itself，the Rubik's cube can be frustrating puzzle．So everyday I carry a Rubik's cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals，no matter what obstacles I face．

46．The author took the Rubik's Cube apart becauseA．
A．he couldn't work out how to solve it 
B．he hated it and wanted to destroyed it
C．he wanted to learn how to rebuild it
D．he was eager to find the connections
47．The underlined word"dyslexic"in Paragraph 1probably means a person who has trouble withB．
A．remembering
B．reading
C．speaking
D．listening
48．Why did the author leave the public school？A
A．He had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another school．
B．He was so crazy about the Rubik's Cube that he wanted to solve it first．
C．His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people．
D．He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name．
49．The author carries a Rubik's Cube in his backpack toD．
A．start conversations with strangers
B．compete with others
C．take it apart and rebuild it
D．encourage him to succeed
50．Which would be the best title for the text？C
A．Unforgettable Lessons About Life          
B．Approaches to Solving the Rubik's Cube
C．Accomplishing Big Things in Small Stages   
D．Surprises Around the Corner．

18．Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and，having gained it，to learn how to use it properly．Recently 1walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round．It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes．But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them．These same men can be found there day after day．a(chǎn)nd，strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community．If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness，then each one should have been happy．Yet，it seemed to me，something very important was missing，else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda．They knew，each one of them，that their productivity had ceased（停止）．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit，it is dying．And it is even so with man．
What 1s the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours？I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible．The words were few，but they became memorably impressed on my mind："In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread．"
To me，that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections （memories）．In fact，the battle of life，of existence，is a challenge to everyone．The immortal words of St．Paul，too，have been and always will be a great inspiration to me．At the end of the road 1want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight，I have finished the course，I have kept the faith．

41．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph？C
A．Wealth results from honest effort．
B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life．
C．For some people，no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda．
D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees．
42．The underlined sentence"In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread"means"B"．
A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B．No pains，no gains
C．Failure is the mother of success
D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face
43．We learn from the passage that the authorB．
A．was a wealthy person in the community
B．held．a(chǎn) positive attitude towards an active life
C．was fond of associating with celebrities （名人）
D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
44．What is implied in the passage by the writer？D
A．To use wealth properly，eat，drink and be merry．
B．Where there is a will，there is a wav．
C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree．
D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live．
