本文作者用第三人稱的口吻敘述了發(fā)生在母親小時候居住的老房子里的三件令人感到恐怖的事情。
小題1:A　根據(jù)前面的語境Since there were not enough rooms for them可以推測，他們家沒有足夠的房間，因此母親的兩個姐妹只能共用較大的臥室。share表示“分享，共享”。
小題2:C　接下來的三段分別講述了發(fā)生在母親小時候居住的老房子里的三件恐怖的事情。第一，母親10歲那年，莫名其妙地聽見樓下有人喊叫自己的名字；第二，外婆在廚房做飯的時候，幾把椅子自動來回移動，當(dāng)時除了外婆外只有母親的小妹妹在家；最后，明明聽見有人敲門，但是將門打開時，門外卻空無一人……這三件事都是非常奇怪的事情，故選C。
小題3:C　由第一段最后一句及本段第三句內(nèi)容可知，她的哥哥應(yīng)該是去了“樓下的”廚房。
小題4:C　根據(jù)下文的She asked him who the girl on the stairs was可以分析出，這里指女性的聲音。
小題5:B　根據(jù)第一段her brother in a room down the hall and she slept in the top room of the building和本題之后的the stairs to the top room可以判斷出，這里指上樓的腳步聲。come up在此表示“上來”。
小題6:B　根據(jù)前后語境分析，這里指幾小時后，母親的哥哥過來看母親在做什么。
小題7:B　根據(jù)第二段的信息詞the first和第四段的信息詞the last可以判斷出，此處應(yīng)該講的是第二個令人膽戰(zhàn)心驚的故事。
小題8:A　由下文About ten minutes later she turned around and three of the chairs were pulled out一句可推知此題答案。pull out 拉出。
小題9:C　根據(jù)前文My grandmother was cooking supper in the kitchen可以推測出，這里指外婆將兩把椅子塞進(jìn)去后又回去做飯。因此cooking符合語境和邏輯。
小題10:C　根據(jù)后面的語境because only my mother's little sister was home at the time可知，除了母親的小妹妹只有外婆一個人在家，但幾把椅子出出進(jìn)進(jìn)，自然讓外婆感到害怕。故選擇C。
小題11:D　根據(jù)故事發(fā)展的情節(jié)來分析，這里強(qiáng)調(diào)之最。因為前面兩次并沒有嚇得他們搬家，而從the one that made them move away推測，這次嚇得他們搬家了，因此這是最糟的一次“恐怖事件”。
小題12:B　根據(jù)語境when there was a knock on the door判斷，這里指Josie 去開門，answer在此表示“應(yīng)門聲開門”。
小題13:A　根據(jù)后面的信息詞some water和信息句when she returned to the living room可以推測，Josie是去廚房找水。
小題14:C　gone在此表示“不見了”。
小題15:A　語境found Sarah sleeping in her bed強(qiáng)調(diào)的是結(jié)果，因此in the end(最終)符合語境。
小題16:D　根據(jù)后面的語境because Sarah couldn't...the stairs without help because they were very steep可以推測，這是不可能發(fā)生的事情。
小題17:C　根據(jù)原因狀語從句because they were very steep中的信息詞steep(陡峭的)可以知道，這里指Sarah是不可能自己爬到樓上去的。
小題18:A　由上文可知，Sarah睡到了樓上她的床上，因此這里強(qiáng)調(diào)Josie將Sarah帶下了樓。
小題19:C　語境Then the phone rang表明了這里是指我的外婆打電話說我外公去世了。
小題20:A　be about to do sth.when...表示“剛要做某事突然……”。

A few years ago I received a postcard from a friend Jackson, who wrote, “I am skiing with abandon!” I believe he meant he was skiing skillfully, joyfully, peacefully and confidently. Although I have no hopes of ever skiing that way, I do dream of living with abandon. I believe that men and women through the ages who have led successful lives have captured these secrets of living life to the fullest.
1. Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sense of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your word, and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own standards, and not comparing yourself to others. It's not a question of being better than someone else; respect and integrity demand that you be better than you thought you could be.
2. Turn disappointments into strengths. Individuals who live with abandon have discovered that personal trials make them more sensitive and loving, while building character. They have learned that achievements worth remembering are stained (給...染色) with the blood of diligence and marked with the scars of disappointment.
The pages of history are filled with the heroic stories of men and women who overcame disabilities and difficulties to demonstrate victorious spirits. Raise him in extreme poverty, and you have an Abraham Lincoln. Make her blind and deaf, and you have a Helen Keller.
3. Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s rewards. We live in a goal-centered society that wants problems solved now. We want three-minute coffee, one-hour dry cleaning, and instant success. But to live with abandon, we must live one day at a time, enjoying the little victories, realizing that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal fulfillment.
4. Become involved in something bigger than yourself. I do not believe you will live happily if you set out to live life for yourself alone. Choose a cause bigger than you are and work at it in a spirit of excellence. It will become a part of you as you see your goals through to the end. Measure success not by what you've done, but what you could do.

A speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components（組成部分）. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you，your speech and your audience focused.
What a goal is
In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy(頌歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question（正被討論的）.
Why a goal is important
Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech's goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.
A goal is incredibly important to the speech's ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.
Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech's goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won't know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.
______________
If you have been charged with(被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic(人口統(tǒng)計) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……結(jié)束）. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial（有爭議的）, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.
小題1:According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine?
A．Informing, delivering and entertaining.
B．Informing, persuading and entertaining.
C．Informing, writing and delivering.
D．Informing, writing and persuading.
小題2:The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be ________.
A．to persuade the audience to vote for a candidate
B．to celebrate the life of a person you admire
C．to entertain the audience with humor and magic
D．to persuade the audience to buy new products
小題3:All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that ________.
A．a(chǎn) speech will lose its direction without a goal
B．a(chǎn) speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech
C．a(chǎn) speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing
D．a(chǎn) speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life
小題4:Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph?
A．How to achieve a speech goalB．How to deliver a difficult speech
C．What to consider to establish a goalD．What to consider to deliver a speech

Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.
Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive(冒犯性的)or illegal aims. Children must be made aware（意識到的） of both the good things and the dangers.
To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert(警惕).
Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets（小玩意）and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations(縮寫)such as: atb-all the best, bbfn-bye bye for now, cul8er-see you later, gr8-great, Idk-I don’t know, imbl-it must be love, kit-keep in touch, paw-parents are watching, lol-laugh out loud, xlnt-excellent!
It seems like another language, and it is!
小題1:The passage is meant for         .
A．childrenB．parentsC．teachersD．net bar owners
小題2:Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A．The Internet is no good for children.
B．The chat language is strange to adults.
C．Children shouldn’t chat so much online.
D．The Internet is a good place for children.
小題3:In order to keep children safe online, you’d better         .
A．choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them
B．teach them to use correct net words
C．surf the Internet together with them
D．forbid them to use the Internet

Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with doubts by many as being a major part of the “l(fā)ive now pay later” syndrome（綜合癥）．Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes（租賃項目）, they provide encouragement to spend more money．Of course, it is only the hotheaded who give way to the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards．
Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies．
All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit．Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further．
It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets（經(jīng)銷店）, though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen．A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card．
However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty．
小題1:The hotheaded are people who ________．
A．spend more money than they have
B．spend less money than other people
C．save money
D．make money
小題2:The disadvantage of credit cards is ________．
A．to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash
B．to encourage people to spend more money
C．to be always useful in emergencies
D．to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty
小題3:Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider ________．
A．the amount of credit granted　　
B．the number and range of outlets
C．the possibility of loss of money
D．the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards
小題4:The underlined words in the last paragraph probably means ________．
