It’s 35  ! That house will fall down any second. ”
36 he ran into the smoke-filled hallway and at last he found both children.

小題36:D
小題37:B
小題38:C
小題39:B
小題40:A

小題21:D 由下文They found a home in flames.可推斷出此處應(yīng)為 fire
小題22:A 由下文“That home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the plant.”可知失火的是Fred Jones的家，故此處填home
小題23:C 根據(jù)上下文反復(fù)提到John和Mary駕駛著汽車，故選項為C
小題24:B  John說，那是Fred Jones的家，又說或許他們能做點什么，即提供幫助（救火）。中間這句應(yīng)該是說Fred Jones 這個時間不會在家，所以應(yīng)該是be off works（還沒下班）。
小題25:C  A和B項不符合語境，顯然Mary的態(tài)度很激烈，要John不要管閑事，所以要用require。而disagree一般用于某人不同意或反對某時或某事，用在此處不合適
小題26:C 根據(jù)語境來看，房子正在燃燒，因此此處要用flames
小題27:B 情況危急,John抓住woman的肩膀,因此要用seize her by the shoulder,而不可能是推,故不選push
小題28:A 下文講到John沖進地下室,故A正確
小題29:D 情況緊急,John沖入地下室,故選rushed
小題30:D   terribly此處意為“極度地、非常地、駭人地”,房子因失火而熱浪滾滾,極其熱,熱得嚇人;而heavily一般用于猛烈地、大量地、嚴重地，搭配不合適
小題31:B 當他帶著兩個孩子離開的時候，聽到還有哭聲，因此用as
小題32:B  John把孩子救出，遞到外面等候的人手中，故選delivered
小題33:C 參看第32小題解析
小題34:D 根據(jù)下文，他終于把兩個孩子都找到了，關(guān)鍵詞語是both，故此處應(yīng)為two
小題35:A  Mary要他不要再回去了，因為房子馬上就要倒塌了，所以此處應(yīng)為dangerous
小題36:D 此句說雖然Mary勸阻，但John還是沖進濃煙彌漫的走廊，故選but
小題37:B  John在地下室找到兩個孩子，濃煙中帶著他們，行動艱難，危急時刻，人也會感覺時間過得很慢，因此應(yīng)該是“總也走不到頭的樓梯”故選B項
小題38:C 雖然在濃煙中看不清，他也并沒想到會是自己的孩子，所以雖感覺熟悉，卻也很奇怪，故說strangely familiar
小題39:B 帶著孩子沖出烈焰濃煙，在陽光下他看清了的確是自己的兩個愛子
小題40:A  rescue救；found，找到；lost，失去；missed，失去， A 符合語境

“Dr.Papaderos,what is the meaning of life?”
The usual laughter followed,and people stirred(騷動)to go.Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time,asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.
“I will,answer your question.”
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket,he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror,about the size of a quarter.And what he said went like this:
“When I was a small child,during the war,we were very poor and we lived in a remote village.One day,on the road,I found the broken pieces of a mirror.A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.
I tried to find all the pieces and put them together,but it was not possible,so I kept only the largest piece.This one,and,by scratching it on a stone.I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine——in deep holes and crevices(裂縫)and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.
I kept the little mirror,and,as I went about my growing up,I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game.As I became a man,I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life.I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light.But light——truth,understanding,knowledge——is there,and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.
I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape l do not know.Nevertheless,with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world——into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do likewise.This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life.”
小題1:On hearing the author’s question,Dr.Papedotes       at first.
A．laughed at his foolishnessB．wasn’t sure of the answer
C．doubted his seriousnessD．wasn’t interested at all
小題2:How did Dr.Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?
A．He found it on the road and made it round.
B．A dying German soldier gave him as a present.
C．He chanced to find it in the street while playing.
D．He put the broken pieces together and made it.
小題3:Why did Dr.Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?
A．Because he was too poor to afford other toys.
B．Because it could shine the places where tke sun couldn’t reach.
C．Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.
D．Because it tofd him a lot about what life really meant to him.
小題4:The underlined“metaphor”in the 7th paragraph most probably means       .
A．symbolB．sourceC．lightD．purpose
小題5:Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．A Special Game in the ChildhoodB．A Broken Piece of Mirror

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”
Logo mania (品牌狂熱癥): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
小題1:The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.
A．impressing professors
B．getting on well with classmates
C．creating a professional image
D．dressing appropriately
小題2:The author believes that college girls should ________.
A．choose a logo that suits their age
B．try to load up on well-known logos
C．use logos to show who they are
D．find their identity by trying different logos
小題3:The author recommends wearing real pants because ________.
A．leggings and baggy shirts are too common
B．yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable
C．real pants can present you with appropriate maturity
D．people like real pants better than the other pants
小題4:What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?
A．They make people look lovely.
B．They are very fashionable these days.
C．They will show you’re an animal lover.
D．They are not suitable for college-aged students.
小題5:In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?
A．Business Week.B．Parents.C．In style.D．Travel & Leisure.

The two-week vacation at the end of summer school ended yesterday. Kevin had gone nowhere during his vacation. He had the money, but he hated to travel alone. He used to take vacations with Gary, his youngest brother, but they had a big argument at the end of their last vacation. Each of them had spent the last three years waiting for the other to apologize.
Kevin did not feel good about being on non-speaking terms with his favorite brother. But he was not going to ask for forgiveness when, in his mind, this whole misunderstanding was his brother’s fault.
So Kevin’s summer vacation was spent in his own “back yard.” As usual, he had planned to clean up his apartment. As usual, two weeks later his apartment looked just as it had two weeks before.
He did do one thing new and different during his vacation. There was a new coffee shop on Foothill Street. It served 25 varieties of delicious coffee at reasonable prices, and the staff was genuinely friendly. The shop was air-conditioned at a slightly chilly temperature. About eight small round tables were inside. Outside were four bigger tables. Each had four white metal chairs around it, and several big umbrellas provided shade. Even on hot afternoons, there was usually a pleasant breeze.
Kevin visited the coffee shop four times during his vacation. He always sat at a table outside by himself and read the free daily paper. Each day he was there, he read most of the newspaper articles while he enjoyed two cups of coffee.
Between articles, he took breaks by watching the nearby traffic and pedestrians. The coffee shop was next to a huge parking lot. The lot was for customers of a grocery store, movie rental store, pharmacy, bank, and restaurant. Kevin considered his outdoor seat the perfect place for one of his favorite activities—people watching.
The coffee shop, with its excellent location and coffee, had helped make his vacation a pleasant one. But he knew in his heart, had his brother been there to join him just one day, his vacation would have been a perfect one.
小題1: Why didn’t Kevin go anywhere during his vacation？
A．Because he was short of money.B．Because he didn’t like traveling.
C．Because he had no company.D．Because he had to clean up his apartment.
小題2: What did Kevin do in his vacation?
A．He cleaned up his apartment.B．He had a big argument with Gary.
C．He worked in a parking lot.D．He stayed at home most of the time.
小題3: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the coffee house?
A．It served delicious coffee of different flavors.
B．It had an effective air-conditioning system.
C．It was often crowded with local customers.
D．It provided free newspapers for customers.

Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯響) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
小題1:The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
A．show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B．provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories
C．show Yoshiko’s young life was difficult and frightening
D．tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write
小題2:In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.
A．family relationshipsB．terrors in the night
C．limitless possibilitiesD．sacrifices to benefit others
小題3: What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B．Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C．Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D．Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.
小題4:What is the main idea of this story?
A．People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B．Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C．Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D．Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for material.

　　Why doesn’t the unemployment rate ever reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who can’t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But that’s not the case. Not now and not ever.
　　On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.
　　Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers don’t find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes （簡歷）. It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.
　　So what would today’s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians’ lowering joblessness?
　　Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.
　　For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “is very much based on our work,” he said.
　　“One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they don’t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training – it could be as simple as providing work experience.”
小題1:According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?
A．It is always difficult to find a job.
B．Everyone can find a job in good times.
C．Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.
D．It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.
小題2: What is it that leads to their winning the prize?
A．They have found the reason for unemployment.
B．They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.
C．They have found out why people don’t want to be employed.
D．They have long studied the problem of unemployment.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Pissarides thinks his work surprising.
B．The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists.
C．Some of the winners’ ideas have been put into practice.
D．It is probable that unemployed young people in Britain benefit from Pissarides’ work.
小題4: According to Pissarides, _________ is effrctive in dealing with unemployment.
A．spending large sums of money on training
B．teaching some knowledge of economics
C．providing work experience
D．keeping people unemployed for some time
