I  28   the ice water and went to sit in the      29  of a tall tree. As I took my drink, I   30    my son. To my surprise, he didn't seem to be    31   the normal mowing pattern. And he kept smiling at me   32   he worked. I wondered    33  made him so happy? I thought to myself.
After a while, he    34   mowing and looked in my direction. "Hey, Mom. Could you  35 here? "   "He's always　naughty like this, lazy again?" I said to myself    36     .  Then I stood up and walked across the lawn, noticing that he had missed a sizable spot. "John, you didn't..."  My angry words gradually became      37    , for the spot I thought he'd missed had been       38     mowed into the shape of a（an）   39  , suddenly I felt something warm and gentle rising from inside.

21-25 BACBD    -30 DCCAB   31-35 CDACD    36-40 BDAAB   

21小題解析：野草瘋長，草坪可能變成叢林。選B，turn into 變成 turn down 關(guān)小、拒絕 turn up 開大，出現(xiàn)
22小題解析：several false starts, 失敗的開端 因為后文說the machine was too old to work .
23小題解析：開始除草失敗了，所以不得不檢查一下，get our old lawn mover going. 讓我們的舊的割草機運轉(zhuǎn)起來。 get sth /sb to do ,所以AB 項錯誤。D 不符合題意。get sth doing 使某物處于某種狀態(tài)。類似的結(jié)構(gòu)有： keep/have/leave/set /send sb （sth） doing
24小題解析：so I decided to take a short break 說明是太累了，選B 項tired.
25小題解析：John at the top of a rise, 所以我得向上看選D。 look throuth 瀏覽；復(fù)習(xí)look over 檢查；查看
26小題解析：26小題ice water 在28小題后有提示。
27小題解析：let sb do sth.  而 ask/allow sb. to do sth.  agree to do sth; agree with/on /to sth
28 和29小題解析：此句意思是我接過冰水走到樹蔭下。所以選accept（接受）.recieve 是收到的意思。如果選A drank  喝掉，那么30小題前的從句就不會再說“as i took my drink, 我一邊喝水  I watched my son. 一邊看著兒子干活。
30小題解析：A 項saw 看見 noticed 注意到母親并不是此時才看到或注意到兒子，所以不選。observe 是觀察watch sth carefully，esp. in order to learn it 的意思也有看到，注意到的意思。
31小題解析：follow the normal pattern 遵循正常的模式。
32小題解析：用as 引導(dǎo)從句，表示" 一邊。。。，一邊。。�！�
33小題解析：wondered 后面的賓語從句缺少主語，所以選用代詞what. that 在名詞性從句中是連詞，不能充當成分。
34小題解析：he stoped moving and looked in my direction 他停止割草朝我看過來。AB項是繼續(xù)做一件事。
根據(jù)下文“Now i'll finish the job." 說明兒子并沒有干完。D項錯誤。
35小題解析：兒子讓母親過來看自己的杰作，所以選come over
36小題解析：naughty（淘氣）, lazy（偷懶） again? 以及37小題前my angry word gradully 說明是angry. “生氣地自言自語。”
37-39小題解析：兒子很用心（carefully）地用割草機割出了一個“心”（heart）的形狀，母親生氣的話逐漸變得沒聲音了（quieter）
40小題解析：根據(jù)上文32小題兒子kept smiling, 說明此時是很開心地笑著說。D sigh 嘆氣 A sign 招牌；手勢；跡象；簽名等意思

At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.
Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour .In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car, and not one of them saw it.
They reached a hill; but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.
“Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car.
“Good evening,” said Rolls, holding the lamp.
“One of these horseless things,” said the policeman, looking at it with interest.
“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited.
“I’ve often wanted a ride in one; but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face.
“Jump in,” said Rolls.
“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so. “Now,” he said, sitting down, “you can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”
60．The policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that        .
A．they could watch the car coming from the other direction
B．the car could go faster than four miles an hour
C．they could make sure no one was in the way
D．the car would not hit them on the road
61．In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?
A．They greeted Rolls when the car came along.
B．They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.
C．They pretended to be attracted by something else.
D．They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.
62．The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to       .
A．teach Rolls a lesson                                  B．take a free ride home
C．have a talk with Rolls                               D．have a car ride experience
63．After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls       .
A．dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to
B．could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance
C．could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey
D．drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge

Do you know of Guo Degang? In recent months he has become well known in China as a crosstalker．He has never performed on TV before, but attending his crosstalk performance is becoming increasingly fashionable in Beijing, especially for youth and school children．
Guo arrived in Beijing from Tianjin in 1995 and came across a teahouse where he found several young people performing crosstalk．Being a crosstalker himself, he couldn’t help taking to the stage．Gradually, more and more people came to the teahouse to see him perform．He soon found himself playing to audiences numbering more than 100 in a teahouse that could only contain 80．
As his popularity grew, Guo thought over the future of his art．“Traditional crosstalk is at least half an hour long, but performances are no longer than five minutes on TV, which kills much of the story．TV is part of the fast-food culture and crosstalk is a face-to-face art form — it needs interaction (交流), and is not suited to TV,” Guo said．He decided to bring it back to its roots： the teahouse and theater．
In 1996, Guo and some young crosstalk actors founded Deyun Crosstalk Association．Over the next ten years, the association organized countless performances in teahouses across Beijing．Despite their growing popularity, Guo ensured (確保) that ticket prices were kept low to make the art form accessible to everyone．Tickets to his performances are still 20 yuan today．And in keeping with technology and modern times, the association set up a BBS site on the Internet where fans could download recordings and discuss performances with actors．
He hopes that through their efforts, more young people will learn to appreciate crosstalk and perhaps train to be crosstalkers themselves．
41．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．Guo Degang and his traditional crosstalk
B．A traditional art form—crosstalk
C．The development history of crosstalk
D．Deyun Crosstalk Association
42．From the passage, we can know the crosstalk originates(源于) from ________．
A．the TV show           B．the teahouse and theater
C．the cinema              D．the common people
43．According to the passage, Deyun Crosstalk Association set up a BBS site on the internet to ________．
A．let fans download recordings
B．have fans discuss performances with actors
C．keep up with modern technology
D．a(chǎn)sk more people appreciate their favorite crosstalk
44．From the passage, we can know the following EXCEPT________．
A．the crosstalk is a face-to- face art which needs interaction
B．Guo was a crosstalker when he was in Tianjing
C．the performances of Guo are very popular
D．the tickets to Guo’s performances may rise in future

I fell in love with England because it was quaint （古雅）— all those little houses, looking terri­bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. 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 gentlemen, 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’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it 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 Middlesex I had a neighbour 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.
56. 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
57. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?
A. In a cafe.        B. In a restaurant.       C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.
58. The underlined part “it” （in Para. 4） refers to______.
A. a taxi      B. the money        C. a bomb    D. public transport
59. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.
A. felt lonely in England              B. had never been to France
C. was from a typical French family     D. didn't like the British idea of family
