At the table next to mine sat an attractive,   23  couple, waiting for   24 . They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their   25  and stepped together   26  the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped   27  for the two chairs. He politely   28  his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.
  29  appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to   30  the table and take their   31 , and then walked back to the   32  cheers of the rest of his   33 . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went
  34  into the water to   35  the wine. The couple toasted（祝酒）each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd   36  by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables   37   to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.
One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?
Customers are not served   38 . Why not?
Sometimes one should consider   39  the line of convention（常規(guī)）and enjoy   40  to the fullest.

21根據(jù)前兩個關(guān)鍵詞，再比較選項，這時空氣應(yīng)該是靜止的(C)。 
22　線索為quarrelsome（可根據(jù)詞根quarrel猜測詞義）, 說明這時人們的脾氣都長了(D. rise指上漲)，導(dǎo)致氣氛有點吵吵鬧鬧的。　
23　根據(jù)whispered, laughed可排除A、D。他們并沒關(guān)注別人，所以B也不對，下文的in one’s best clothes可證實此判斷。
24　此處有服務(wù)之意。
25　本句較長，攻破長句的辦法是確定主要框架：they stood, picked… and stepped… to place…; 這樣就可看出拿起的東西后來放在水中了，所以應(yīng)該選桌子。
26 　如果選A、C或D，那對夫婦就沒離開原來坐的位置。所以只有表示離開的off正
27 前面放了桌子，要坐下還需要椅子，所以走回來拿，選back。
28 　從男人自己也坐下了可看出這里是讓the lady坐在水中，所以選seated。led 指帶領(lǐng)，但是the lady已經(jīng)站在水邊了�！�
29 注意挖空出現(xiàn)在段落銜接位置，通常和上段相關(guān)。上文中還留著waiting for  , 這里出現(xiàn)的應(yīng)該是和等待相關(guān)的，后文這人拿了酒來，所以可斷定填waiter. 此時也可斷定為service. 
30-33 空在同一個長句中。不過確定了waiter就可想到是為客人服務(wù)，擺好（set）桌子、聽客人點菜（order）人們之前只 cheer了一次，之后還有，所以不是熟悉的，或者最后的，也不可能是焦慮的，所以選loud。有his，所以不選tourists, assistants, fellows指伙伴，服務(wù)生在工作應(yīng)該沒幾個伙伴在場，所以應(yīng)該選眾多的customers 。
34 第一次入水時他猶豫了，但這次他沒猶豫，所以這里是再次(C)。
35 　拿來的酒是客人點的所以選serve：上酒�！�
36 　上句那對夫婦對大家祝酒，所以其他人在回應(yīng)（replied）�！�
37 　其他人也加入到水中用餐的行列，所以選joined in�！�
38 　聯(lián)系并列的上一句和上面的have lunch in the water，可知通常不會在水里上菜，所以C對�！　�
39-40 　聯(lián)系前面發(fā)議論的兩句可知不符合常規(guī)，所以39選跳出(D)常規(guī)。更好地享受生活，40選生活，因為sometimes體現(xiàn)出是從這次經(jīng)歷推及平常生活。

Listening to your heart
Do you ever wish you had a road map for living? If only someone could    1    show us a way to go, a direction to take, we wouldn’t feel so    2    of which path to pursue. We think that, with only a little    3    , we’ll surely end up in the right place.
4     on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City Airport must have felt a little more than    5     during the flight attendant’s greeting as their flight started. She     6     the passengers and stated that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned passengers   7    her, so the flight attendant, obviously not familiar with the area,     8     herself by saying that they would be     9      in “Tri-City” and Bay City.
Chuckles rippled along the aisle as she    10    tried again. This time she informed passengers that the destination would be Saginaw. Now    11    broke out.
At that point, an authoritative voice came over the intercom (對講機) and    12     her. “I’m your pilot, folks,” he said. “Don’t    13   — I know where we’re going.”
It’s nice when someone knows the     14    . And there is wisdom in seeking help when necessary. Other people can be valuable.    15     we cannot always depend on others for the    16    answers for living our lives. In the end, nobody can point us to all the best   17    for life’s problems; nobody else can    18    us to the path that is just right for us. We find that way ourselves. We find the way by    19   . Listening to our hearts — for the direction we need is almost always there, deep within.
So if you feel a bit lost, don’t worry. This may be a    20    time to listen. And remember — your pilot knows where you’re going.

In 1879, a group of explorers made an incredible find. They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain. Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age, between ten and thirty thousand years ago. Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim, but over the years, it was proven correct. Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.
Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France. A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy, Portugal, Russia, and other countries. Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years, and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia. These two regions of the world were, populated first by humans.
Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves, usually near the entrance. The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings. In some cases, the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light. Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.
9.What was the response of general public to the discovery of cave art made by Stone Age people?
A. They believed it at first.
B. They did not believe it.
C. They thought it was beautiful.
D. They ignored it.
10.According to the passage, what can we conclude about animal fat?
A. It does not burn.
B. Stone Age artists used it to preserve their paintings.

A. In Central and South America.
B. In Spain and France.
C. In the places where there are caves with large openings.
D. In the regions of the world first populated by humans.
12.Where would this passage be most likely to appear?

I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Liu Dan, a middle school student in Beijing. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children.

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古色古香的)—all those little houses, looking terribly old fashioned but nice, like doll’s house. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.
Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentleman, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.
I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You are forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.
As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.
The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middleses I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
小題1:The writer doesn’t like London because she___________.
A. is not used to the life there now
B. has lived there for seventeen years
C prefers to live in an old-fashioned house
D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
小題2: Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A．In a caféB．In a restaurantC．In a nightclubD．In a pub
小題3:The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to__________.
A．a(chǎn) taxiB．the moneyC．a(chǎn) bombD．public transport
小題4:The writer took her neighbor the France for Christmas because she__________.
A．felt lonely in EnglandB．had never been to France
C．was from a typical French familyD．didn’t like the British idea of family

After sunset on our last day at the farm I walked out into the desert. In this, the first pleasant moment for a walk after long hot hours, I thought I was the only thing out of doors. Suddenly I stopped. Before me a rattlesnake lay fixed, its head not yet drawn back to strike but only turned a little to watch what I would do. Many snakes will run away at the sight of a man but this rattlesnake felt no necessity to get out of any-body's way. He held his ground in calm watch-fullness waiting for me to show my intentions. My first aim was to take no notice of him; I had never killed an animal if I was not forced to kill. But I remembered that there were children, dogs and horses at the farm as well as men and women with thin clothes on; my duty was to kill the snake. I went back to the farm and returned with a stick. The rattlesnake had not moved; he lay like a wire but more quickly than I could stride he shot into a bush and set up his rattling, warning me by this that I had made an unreasonable attack and attempted to take his life and that if I insisted he would have no choice but to take mine if he could. For a moment I listened to this terrifying sound and then I struck into the bush with my stick and, chop-ping about, dragged him out of the bush with his back broken.
He struck once more at the stick but a moment later his neck was broken and he was soon dead although  when I picked him up by the tail his mouth opened, proving that a dead snake may still bite. There was blood in his mouth and poison was dropping; it was not only a dis-gusting(令人作嘔的) sight but a pitiful one too. I dropped the body into a green bush and, as I did so, I saw him in my imagination, crawling over the sands as he might have done if I had let him go.
