19．The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class．It took place during the first week of the term．Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year．
Some jobs were more interesting than others，and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones．When giving them out，the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year．During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instructions perfectly．All the children knew Rita would be given the best job．
But there was a big surprise．Each child received a normal job．But Rita's job was very different．She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant．Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special，Rita felt disappointed．Most of her classmates felt sorry for her．Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet．However，Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest．
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food，and it grew quite a bit bigger．
One day，a man，who looked very important，came into their classroom and declared，"Your class has been chosen to accompany me，this summer，on a journey to the tropical rainforest，where we will investigate all kinds of insects．Among all the schools of this region，your class has best cared for the little ant．"
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration．Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible．And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks．
26．What did the teacher base her decision on when giving out jobs to the children？D
A．Their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year．
B．Their characters and interests．
C．Their class performance during the previous year．

A．The most responsible student got the job of least interest．

D．The perfect student got the job of everyone's preference．
28．What is Rita's attitude to her father's suggestion？B

29．We can infer that the man who made the declaration is aD．
A．principal            B．hunter       C．director         D．biologist      
30．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．Responsibility And Intelligence Bring Good Luck 
B．Never Complain About Life
C．Small Tasks Can Lead To Fortunes

分析 本文敘述了只有認真做好一些小事，才有可能贏得更重要的機會．在班里每個孩子會被給予一份工作，要求他們在這一學期對其負責，老師在分配任務時會考慮到孩子們去年的表現(xiàn)．Rita表現(xiàn)最突出并沒有得到最好的工作，Rita的工作是照顧螞蟻，她感到很失望，但是她還是認真地去做她通過調查了解了很多關于螞蟻的知識．正好學校組織一次旅游去研究昆蟲，她學到的知識用上了．

解答 26．D  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)When giving them out，the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year．根據(jù)在過去在一年里學習表現(xiàn)．故D正確．
27．A 句意理解題．根據(jù)All the children knew Rita would be given the best job of all可知，在孩子們中間Rita表現(xiàn)"最突出（stood out）"，所以所有的孩子都認為她會被給予最好的工作．Each child received a normal job．But Rita's job was very different．可知，Rita并沒有得到最好的工作，所以"令人意外的事情（surprise）"發(fā)生了．所以最負責任的學生得到了那份工作是最沒有興趣的．故A正確．
28．B  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet．However，Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest．她沒有聽她的父親的．故B正確．
29．D  推理判斷題．根據(jù)One day，a man，who looked very important，came into their classroom and declared，"Your class has been chosen to accompany me，this summer，on a journey to the tropical rain forest，where we will investigate all kinds of insects．他可能是生物學家，因為他也要參加這次活動．故D正確．
30．C  主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章大意：本文敘述了只有認真做好一些小事，才有可能贏得更重要的機會的道理．故C正確．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

7．When my brother and I were growing up，we mowed （割草） yards during the summer to earn pocket change．Dad was our salesman．He traded our service to neighbors at a price they could not refuse．My brother and I got 10per yard．I later found out our friends were charging 20or more for the same amount of work．
One afternoon we were cutting our neighbor's yard．She always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over．What made matters worse was that we had an old lawn mower that kept shutting off as we worked through her lawn．This particular afternoon，I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty．I pictured the tall glass of icy drink I would have to cool down soon．
I was just about to cut off the lawn mower when I saw Dad pointing to one lone piece．I thought about the poor change I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower．I ignored him and kept walking．Dad called me out，"You missed a piece．"
I frowned （皺眉），hoping he would let me slide and go home．He kept pointing．So angry，I went back to cut that piece of grass．I said to myself，"That one piece isn't hurting anyone．Why won't he just let it go？"
But when I became an adult，I understood his message：When you are running a business，the work you do says a great deal about you．If you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty，you must deliver a quality product．That single piece of grass meant the job was not done．
Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business．We started out with one client，but by the end of the summer we had five．
The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me：If you say you are going to perform a job at a certain time，keep your word．Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive．It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work．

38．Why did Dad charge much less for mowing the yards？B
A．He was not a good businessman．
B．He didn't care about money too much．
C．He thought his children's service is bad．
D．He wanted to compete with other mowers．
39．When Dad asked the writer to go back，the writer feltC．
A．doubtful          B．terrified            C．annoyed         D．hurt
40．What did Dad teach the writer？A
A．To do your work as professional as possible．
B．To develop a sense of money at an early age．
C．To get more business at a competitive price．
D．To ask for a higher price for your service．
41．The best title for the passage may beC．
A．The Memory of My Childhood
B．The Yard of Our Neighbor
C．The Lesson from My Dad
D．The Grass Cutting days．

14．Please excuse me if I'm a little sad today．Mark is leaving，and I'm feeling kind of sad．
You probably don't know Mark，but you might be lucky enough to know someone just like him．He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining great professional skills with a sweet nature．He just wants to do his job，and to do it superbly well．And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional opportunity．It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime，and we're genuinely，sincerely pleased for him．But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to a dear friend and trusted colleague．
Life has a way of throwing these curve balls at us．Just when we start to get comfortable with a person，a place or a situation．A terrific neighbor moves away．Someone in the family graduates．A child finds new love and loyalties through marriage．The family's principle bread-winner is laid off．
But how do we do that？A friend of mine who works for the government once told me that the answer to life's problems can be summed up in four words："Go with the flow．"
"It's like surfing，"Chris explained．"You can't organize the ocean．Waves just happen．You ride them where they take you，then you paddle back out there and catch the next one．Sure，you're always hoping for the perfect wave where you can get．But mostly you just take them the way they come．
I'm not exactly sure，but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of events-both good and bad．There will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no control．That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your dreams come true．It just means that when things come up that aren't exactly in your plan，you work around them-and then you move on．Of course，some bumps along the road of life are easier to take than others．A rained-out picnic，for example，is easier to cope with than the sudden death of a loved one．But the principle is the same．
We're going to miss Mark，just like you'll miss that graduate，that neighbor or that newlywed．But rather than drown ourselves in the sadness of our parting，we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him，and for us．And then we'll go out and do everything we can to make that future happen．
76．The passage is mainly aboutD
A．how to change yourself successfully
B．how to do if your colleague （同事） leaves
C．how to deal with unhappy things in life
D．how to deal with unexpected things in life
77．In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story about Mike toC
A．let us know his colleague               
B．praise his colleague
C．introduce a topic                       
D．describe his life  
78．The leaving of Mike makes the writer feelC
A．really unpleasant                                                  
B．very angry
C．both happy and sad                                              
D．a little disappointed
79．Which is not an unexpected thing in life mentioned in the passage？B
A．A rained-out picnic
B．A terrific neighbor's apology．
C．The sudden death of a loved
D．The graduation of a family member．
80．In the writer's opinion，one should ________ when unexpected things come up．
A
A．accept them and hope for a better future
B．do as planned
C．overcome difficulties and let them in control
D．never give up until he succeeds．

4．It's still there，the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go．Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence，the school I knew ten years ago remains the same．
      Every day at 5 p．m．，instead of flying kites with our friends，my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school．No amount of kicking，screaming，or arguing could stop my mother，who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture．She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long，hilly blocks from our home to school，leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school．
    We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room，which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time．I hated that smell．There was a stage far to the right，with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side．
      Although the school mainly taught language----speaking，reading，dictation----the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness．With the entrance of the teacher，the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up，and say in Vietnamese，"How are you，teacher？"
      The language always made me embarrassed．More often than not，I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area．The voice belonged to my grandmother，a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street．Her Vietnamese was quick，it was loud，and it was not beautiful．
      In our area，the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy．I did not want to be thought of as being mad，as talking stupid．When I spoke English，people nodded at me，smiled and encouraged me．Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life．
My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English．He was especially cruel towards my mother，scolding her for her poor English．Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation．
After two years of struggle，I finally divorced my culture．I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school．I thought of myself as American．At last，I thought I was one of you； I wasn't one of them．
 Sadly，I am only an American．
51．What can be learned from the passage？D
A．The author's brother liked learning Vietnamese．
B．The author's mother taught him English at home．
C．The author's mother put her sons in a language school in Vietnam．
D．The author didn't like learning Vietnamese when he was young．
52．The author often felt embarrassed becauseB．
A．his Vietnamese was not beautiful enough
B．his grandma spoke Vietnamese loudly in public
C．he could not fly kites like other kids at school
D．his mother always treated him rudely in the market
53．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author feelsA．
A．regretful       B．peaceful          C．satisfied       D．frightened
54．What's the theme of the passage？C
A．It is important to adapt to a new environment．
B．It is important to remember your childhood．
C．It is important to appreciate your own culture．
D．It is important to learn a foreign language．

11．Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated，and what kind of job prospects they thought they had．
Given that I teach students who are trained to be doctors，I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without"outside help"．"What kind of help is that？"I asked，expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out．
"Surgery（外科手術）"，one replied．I was pretty alarmed by that response．It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job．One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height．"They break your legs，put in special extending screws，and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows．You can get at least 5 cm taller!"
At that point，I was shocked．I am short．I can't deny that，but I don't think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller．I don't even bother to wear shoes with thick soles，as I'm not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting"perfection"，and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality．
No one is born perfect，yet magazines，TV shows and movies present images of thin，tall，beautiful people as being the norm（標準）．Advertisements for slimming aids，beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers，further creating an idea that"perfection"is a requirement，and that it must be purchased，no matter what the cost．In my opinion，skills，rather than appearance，should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career．
61．We can know from the passage that the author works asC．
A．a professor     B．a model       C．a teacher       D．a reporter
62．Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery toC．
A．marry a better man/woman                   
B．become a model
C．get an advantage over others in job-hunting      
D．attract more admirers
63．What was the author's reaction towards the girl's decision？B
A．Excited．B．Surprised．C．Happy．D．Angry．
64．According to the passage，the author believes thatC．
A．everyone should pursue perfection，whatever the cost
B．it's right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs
C．media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery
D．it is one's appearance instead of skills that really matters in one's career
65．What does the author think of his height？D
A．He hates to be called a short man．
B．He tries to increase his height through surgery．
C．He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact．
D．He just accepts it as it is．
