Mrs. White lost her dog. After searching place after place, she placed a “Lost Dog” advertisement in the local newspaper.
The following morning her phone rang and a       voice began, “I’m calling about your   __  .” Then the caller coughed and cleared her voice a few times. She       that she wasn’t feeling well and that, in fact, she hadn’t felt well       her husband died three years ago. She went on to tell that her parents had passed away, and her sister was       with a deadly illness. Even her friends were not doing well.
After 30 minutes of      , sympathizing and even trying offers of help, the dog owner   __   the conversation back to the       subject. “About the dog,” she said.
“Oh,” the caller      , “I don’ t have him. I just thought I’d call to       you up.”
Maybe her technique needed improving, but her       were right on. And though “cheering up” may not be exactly what we      , we certainly need encouragement ---       --- at times. The need for sincere       is basic among human beings.
Do you need encouragement? There’re those who will support your side. Educator Booker T. Washington observed, “There’re two ways of       one’s strength: one is pushing down;   __   is pulling up.” There’re people ready to pull you up when others are pushing down. We need those people in our lives - those who use their strength by pulling us up.
I believe these people can be found      . I believe that we can all become “    ”, lifting one another from dark pits of discouragement to the light of      . And when that happens, the world will never be      .

試題分析：
懷特太太寵物狗丟失。在報(bào)紙上刊登尋狗啟事后一位婦女給她打來(lái)電話，訴說自己種種不幸，目的是安慰懷特太太。作者由此想到，生活中我們需要這樣的安慰和鼓勵(lì)，如果大家都能在別人遭遇傷心事的時(shí)候給予安慰和鼓勵(lì)，世界就會(huì)大不相同。
小題1:考查語(yǔ)境理解。A. loud：響亮的；B. weak：虛弱的；C. sweet：甜美的；D. strong：強(qiáng)壯的。題意：第二天上午電話響了，傳來(lái)一個(gè)虛弱的聲音。下文she wasn’t feeling well提示此處選擇B項(xiàng)。
小題2:考查語(yǔ)境理解。A. bag：包、袋子；B. phone：電話；C. dog：狗；D. wife：妻子。這位婦女是在看到尋狗啟事后打進(jìn)電話的，所以她說她打電話是 “說狗的事”。故C項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨識(shí)。A. insist：堅(jiān)持說；B. demand：要求道；C. explain：解釋說；D. complain：抱怨說。這位婦女說話前咳嗽、清了幾次嗓子。她為此做出解釋，說自己不舒服。C項(xiàng)正確。

小題5:考查動(dòng)詞的搭配。 A. concerned：憂慮的。與about搭配；B. blessed：有福氣的；C. affected：被感染的、患有某種疾病的。與by搭配；D. diagnosed：經(jīng)過診斷的。與with搭配。婦女說她的姐姐被診斷為患上了絕癥�？崭窈體ith提示選擇diagnosed，D項(xiàng)正確。
小題6:考查語(yǔ)境理解。A. talking：談話；B. explaining：解釋；C. questioning：提問；D. listening：傾聽。懷特太太聽那婦女說了半個(gè)小時(shí)后，將話題拉回到原先的話題上。句子主語(yǔ)the dog owner半個(gè)小時(shí)一直在聽那位婦女訴說而沒有機(jī)會(huì)講話。故D項(xiàng)正確。
小題7:考查語(yǔ)境理解。 A. lead：引導(dǎo)；B. start：開始；C. remove：移除；D. forget：忘記。在聽了半個(gè)小時(shí)后，懷特太太將談話引回原來(lái)的話題。lead sth. to …：將……引向 ……。選擇A項(xiàng)。

小題9:考查語(yǔ)境理解。A. agree：同意；B. reply：回答、回應(yīng)；C. advise：建議、勸說；D. ask：詢問。當(dāng)懷特太太要她說說狗的事情的時(shí)候，那位婦女回答說她打電話只是為了讓懷特太太振作起來(lái)。選擇B項(xiàng)。

小題14:考查語(yǔ)境理解。A. encouragement：鼓勵(lì)；B. apology：道歉；C. friendship：友誼；D. gratitude：感激。題意：真誠(chéng)的鼓勵(lì)是人類的基本需求。與前句呼應(yīng)。A項(xiàng)正確。
小題15:考查語(yǔ)境理解。A. make：制造；B. exercise：運(yùn)用、使用；C. gain：獲得；D. collect：聚集。題意：我們用力的方式有兩種：拉和壓。拉和壓是使用力量而不是聚集或獲得力量的方式。故B項(xiàng)正確。

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh，Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story，which is what every writer should be doing. “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.” She says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain，Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and，because my family always had dogs，and I was very good at handling them，I said I wanted to work with dogs，and the teacher always said  ‘Nonsense，Mollie；dear，you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something，since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel，A Sound of Chariots，which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自傳體的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back，”she said “Never. When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields，or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”
小題1:What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.
B．It should be attractive to young readers.
C．It should be based on original ideas.
D．It should not include too much conversation.
小題2:In Mollie Hunter’s opinion，which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
A．Being poor in life experience.
B．Being short of writing skills.
C．The weakness of description.
D．The absence of a story.
小題3:What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
A．She didn’t expect to become a writer.
B．She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
C．She didn’t have any particular ambitions.
D．She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.
小題4:What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
A．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books.
B．To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
C．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
D．To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.

With the average home in the capital selling for 19,548 yuan a meter in November, a tiny mobile home built by a 24-year-old office worker is creating a stir(震動(dòng)) online.
Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad(住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital.
Dai’s new home costs him 6,400 yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu
Road, Haidian district.
Dai, who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better
life and better job, said he realized his financial burden had become too great.
The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet(收支相抵) when he became an intern at a
Beijing-based construction design company in 2009.
“I rented a home at the very beginning--a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900 yuan per month,”
said Dai in an interview with local media. “It was too expensive for me. ”
Dai’s father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner.
Dai, who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company, figured out his own way to solve the
problem---with inspiration from a housing design project at his company’s exhibition early this year.
The project, named“An egg given birth to by the city”, included a series of egg-like movable houses, with a
karaoke house, chair house and trader’s house in it.
Dai, who borrowed 6,400 yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends, decided to
make one of his own. He spent nearly two months building his“egg house”in his hometown, a village in southeast
Hunan that is around 1,700 kilometers from Beijing.
小題1:Where is this passage probably taken from?
A．A story book.B．A cartoon film. C．A news report. D．A research report.
小題2:What is Dai Haifei?
A．An official of government.B．A journalist.
C．An office worker of a company.D．A manager of a company.
小題3:Why did he build the pad?
A．Because he will sell it for money.
B．Because he has no house to get married in.
C．Because he doesn’t have enough money to buy or rent a house.
D．Because he wants to get help from the society.
小題4:Which statement is not TRUE?
A．He comes from a Hunan village.
B．He has lived in the egg home for two months.
C．He got the idea from a friend.
D．He once rented a room.
小題5:What’s the writer’s attitude?
A．Supporting.B．Puzzled.C．Criticizing.D．Objective.

It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and the darkness, a poor little girl, with bare head and naked feet, wandered through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, that they had belonged to her mother, and the poor girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling along at a terrible rate. One of the slippers she could not find, and a boy seized upon the other and ran away with it. So the little girl went on with her little naked feet, which were quite red and blue with the cold. In an old apron she carried a number of matches, and had a bunch of them in her hands. No one had bought anything of her the whole day, nor had any one given her even a penny.
Lights were shining from every window, and there was a delicious smell of roast goose, for it was New-year’s eve—yes, she remembered that. In a corner, between two houses, one of which projected beyond the other, she sank down and huddled（蜷縮）herself together. She had drawn her little feet under her, but she could not keep off the cold; and she dared not go home, for she had sold no matches, and could not take home even a penny of money. Her father would certainly beat her; besides, it was almost as cold at home as here.
小題1:The story happened ________.
A．on New-year DayB．on Christmas
C．on a rainy eveningD．on a snowy night

I learned how our attitudes made a big difference in our everyday lives from my friend Mary.
She doesn’t have any pets. I happened to see her outside on a -30 degree morning walking a dog. I felt sorry for Mary, out there walking a dog that’s not hers in such cold weather. I thought maybe she was saying to herself, “Yeah, this is why I don’t have any pets! I hate walking dogs.”
Later that day I saw Mary and said, “I saw you out there walking a dog this morning. Are you unhappy because you had to walk it on such a cold day?” To my surprise, she said that she enjoyed getting out there and walking the dog and that she got good exercise because of the dog. She also said she had talked to her brother, the dog’s owner, who was on holiday in Orlando, Florida with his family. He said his children were enjoying Disney World and the resorts (勝地). His four-year-old son had breakfast with Mickey Mouse and said it was the best day in his life. Mary said, “If I can help my brother and his family have a wonderful time relaxing for a week, knowing that their pet is being loved and cared for, what more could I ask for?” She added, “It’s worth it for me to make the sacrifice (犧牲) so that they can go and have fun.”

Fannie Cratty wasn’t really my aunt. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us---at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. Aunt Fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret. 
Each August, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. It was vital that I should be on my best behavior. After all, the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. Whenever she was at the house, I didn’t need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue. 
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬幣) and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich. 
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eye Aunt Fannie’s success was due to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
小題1:Paragraph 2 implies that my mother    .
A．used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipe
B．wanted to show off her excellent cooking skills
C．was unable to make the jam without Aunt Fannie’s direction
D．tried to convince Aunt Fannie that she would keep the secret
小題2:According to Paragraph 4, the author believed that Aunt Fanni was rich because    .
A．she had kept her first quarter
B．she had never wasted money
C．she had worked very hard
D．she had kept her promise
小題3:The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we    .
A．share our wealth with others
B．have good fortune and money
C．know the secret of a jam recipe
D．own lasting love and friendship
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage？
A．An old quarterB．Valuable Things
C．Blueberry Jam RecipeD．Memories of old time

A programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York．The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game．The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks．
The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun．He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5．Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5．" Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep．
The programmer, now somewhat anxious, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $50!" This catches the engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment（折磨） unless he plays, so he agrees to the game．
The programmer asks the first question．"What's the distance from the earth to the moon?''
