I work as a postal letter carrier in Charlotte. One day several years ago, I drove up to a   1 . Christy, the young divorcee (離了婚的人) who lived there, was waiting by the roadside. She said that she had a   2  to tell me.
About six months  3  it seemed that I had   4  a letter to her which had her street   5  on it but was addressed to another house with the   6  number on a different street in the neighborhood. She decided to   7  the letter at the correct house.
It turned out that the letter had been   8  for Johnson, who happened to be   9 . They talked for a little while, and later on he   10 . Then they started dating and had been going   11  together ever since.
I felt sorry for delivering the letter wrong, but I was   12  that I had brought these nice people together.
A few months later a(n)   13  sign went up in Christy’s yard, and then wedding   14  were sent out. Soon the house was sold, the wedding happened,   15  Christy, with her kids, moved into Johnson’s house.
A few months later, I saw a For Sale sign in   16  yard. I feared the   17  might be in trouble, so I made up a(n)   18  to go to their door and   19  on them.
Christy opened the door, smiled broadly, and pointed to her huge stomach “We’re having twins!” she said, “This house won’t be big enough, so we have to   20 .”

試題分析：文章講述了“我”做為一名郵遞員一時的疏忽把信給送錯了，收到信的這個女士把信送到了它真正的主人的手里，碰巧的是兩個人都是單身，從此他們都對對方有了感情。正是我的大意成就了兩個人的結(jié)合，成就了一樁幸福的婚姻。
小題1:B考查名詞的詞義。句意為：七年前的一天，我開車去一個郵箱。telephone 電話； mailbox 郵箱，郵筒；school 學(xué)校；shop 商店。由前文我是一個郵遞員可知這里是去信箱。
小題2:A考查名詞詞義。句意為：一個離了婚的年輕女士站在路邊正在等我，她說要給我講個故事。Story故事；notice通知，通告； fact真相，事實； message消息，信息。從下文來看，應(yīng)是一個故事。
小題3:B考查副詞詞義。句意為：大約在六個月前。after adv 在---之后；earlier adv 更早，早在---之前；later adv 后來；ago adv在---之前。One day several years ago是七年前的事情，由此可知，這個女士告訴我的應(yīng)該是在此之前的六個月，所以應(yīng)為更早之前。故答案應(yīng)為B
小題4:C考查動詞詞義。句意為：我郵遞給她了一封信，上面有她的街道號。sent 送，派遣；written 寫； delivered 郵遞；given 給。因為我是一句郵遞員，所以這里應(yīng)為郵遞的意思，答案應(yīng)為C。
小題5:D考查名詞詞義。句意為：上面有她的街道號。這里下文的第六個空number是一個提示。mark 標(biāo)志，符號； sign跡象，記號；board 木板，甲板； number 數(shù)，號碼。
小題6:C考查形容詞詞義。句意為：街道號相同而街道的名字不同，所以有相同的街道號，正是這一點，作者把信給送錯了。correct adj 正確的;  wrong adj 錯誤的； same adj 相同的；different adj 不同的。
小題7:B考查動詞短語的含義。句意：她決定把這封信給正確的主人送過去。put down 鎮(zhèn)壓，記下；drop off 放下，放棄；hand out    分發(fā)，施舍；give away 泄露。這里是把這封信送去。
小題8:D考查動詞短語的意思。句意為：這封信正是給Johnson的。provided 提供，供給；prepared為---做準(zhǔn)備；inferred 推測出的；intended打算為---所用，預(yù)定給---。所以答案應(yīng)為D。
小題9:B考查短語的含義。句意為：這個人正好也是單身。free adj 自由的；single adj 單一的，單身的；lonely adj 寂寞的；simple adj 簡單的。所以應(yīng)為B。
小題10:C考查動詞詞義。句意為：后來，他就打電話給她，然后他們就開始約會。left 離開； invited邀請；called 打電話；    introduced 介紹。由后面的約會可知先是打電話溝通，而不是邀請。
小題11:A考查動詞短語的含義。句意從那時起，他們開始一起外出。go out 外出；go in參加，放得進(jìn)； go away走開；go off 離開，動身。
小題12:B考查形容詞的詞義。句意為：我為我的送錯信而抱歉，但我高興的是我把這兩個人聚在了一起。amazed adj 令人吃驚的； pleased adj 令人高興的； surprised adj 令人吃驚的 interested adj 使人感興趣的。
小題13:D考查短語的含義。句意為：幾個月之后，一個“出售”的牌子在Christy的院子里掛了起來。
On sale 廉價出售，這里文中沒有反映出是廉價出售；for sale 出售，待售。
小題14:C考查名詞詞義。句意為：發(fā)出了婚禮的請柬。arrangements 安排，布置；preparation 準(zhǔn)備；invitations 邀請，請柬；announcements通知，通告。這里sent out發(fā)出去的應(yīng)該是請柬。
小題15:B考查連詞詞義。句意為：婚禮舉行了，順其自然的是Christy和她的孩子們搬到了Johnson的家里，這是指順承關(guān)系。
小題16:D考查代詞的詞義。句意為：幾個月之后，我在他們的院子里又看到了一個待售的牌子。因為他們搬到了一起。所以應(yīng)為他們。
小題17:C考查名詞詞義。句意為：我害怕，他們的婚姻出現(xiàn)了危機。friendship n 友誼；connection n聯(lián)系，關(guān)系；marriage n 婚姻；wedding 婚禮。他們已經(jīng)結(jié)過婚了，由此應(yīng)知為婚姻。答案為C。
小題18:C考查名詞詞義。句意為：我就找了借口去看一下他們出了什么問題。apology   n 道歉；
trouble n 麻煩；excuse n 借口，托辭；   regret n 遺憾，后悔。
小題19:A考查動詞詞義。check  vt 查，核查；examine vt 檢測，調(diào)查；test vt 測試； try vt 嘗試，努力；這里是指，我找個借口要去看看到底是不是婚姻出現(xiàn)了問題。所以check比較合適。
小題20:D考查動詞詞義。句意：我們有了一對雙胞胎，房子太小了，不得不搬家。change vt 改變，改換；settle vt定居；separate vt 分開；move vt 轉(zhuǎn)移，搬家。

LONDON---A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake（假冒的）bomb detectors（探測器）to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77.8 million from the sales of his detectors---which were based on a kind of golf ball finder---to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted（判罪）of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $ 42, 000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “l(fā)acked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.
小題1:Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A．He sold bombs. B．He caused death of people.
C．He made detectors.D．He cheated in business.
小題2:According to the judge, what McCormick had done         .
A．increased the cost of safeguarding
B．lowered people’s guard against danger
C．changed people’s idea of social security
D．caused innocent people to commit crimes
小題3:Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A．They have not been sold to Africa
B．They have caused many serious problems.
C．They can find dangerous objects in water.
D．They don’t function on the basis of science.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick         .
A．solo the equipment at a low price
B．was well-known in most countries
C．did not think he had committed the crime
D．had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather   36   test. I didn’t know how   37  I had done but I knew there were things on   38   that I didn’t know.
I remember   39  waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales   40  my paper on my desk, I was    41   . There in big   42   numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I   43   my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44    that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45  the class. “The grades were not very good;    46  of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (陰沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47  . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s   48   changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49   what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother    50   answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh (嚴(yán)厲的) judgment. My mother was always that   51   . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and    52     I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53   the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生態(tài)度）has    54   me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55   and there are very few people on it.

“I don’t think I can do this any more.” “Yes, you can. You only have five more radiation treatments to go. ” I held my wife Becky close.
Ever since the breast cancer diagnosis (診斷), she had tried hard to be strong for the kids and for me.   When her diagnosis came, my first thought was there was no way I could lose my wife. The doctors assured us the cancer was discovered early so we were feeling positive.
Becky had received an operation and was recovering from it. After six weeks of radiation therapy(治療), she was facing her final five treatments. She was weak and tired, in low spirits. Seeing her suffering, I felt so helpless and powerless.
As soon as I was outside, long-held frustration and anger erupted in me like a volcano. I took a hammer and suddenly was swinging as hard as I could, beating heavily on the front porch(門廊). While doing so, I imagined I was beating my wife’s cancer. With all my strength, I destroyed the porch.
During the treatment, my wife had been very brave. She said she had it easy, but I don’t think it was easy for her.
Seeing the porch gone, Becky shook her head at the window. I came into the room, not knowing how she would react to what I had done.
“Becky, are you mad at me?” She looked at me in surprise. “For what?” I pointed at the gate. “For tearing down the porch.” She laughed. “Look how sunny this room is now. I love that it’s bright in here.”
“You comforted me in my darker hour, Vince. You’ve found a way to deal with your own frustration. By destroying the porch, you let the sunshine in.”
As I looked around the brightened room, I realized the light that filled the space was the light of hope that shone so bright after the darkness. We never did re-build the porch.
小題1:When the diagnosis came out, _______.
A．the author had little hope that his wife would survive
B．the author was determined to save his wife’s life
C．the author’s wife refused to receive radiation treatments
D．the author felt lucky that his wife’s disease was not serious
小題2:The author went outside to destroy the porch because _______.
A．he wanted to release his frustration
B．he was disappointed with his wife
C．he intended to let sunshine in
D．his wife didn’t like it at all
小題3:How did the author’s wife feel about him seeing the porch gone?
A．SympatheticB．Angry
C．UnderstandingD．Happy
小題4:What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A．Tragedy cannot separate loving couple
B．A day without sunshine is like night
C．True love is based on understanding
D．Nothing is impossible for a willing heart

As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人員）. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (萊茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experience．Flying on Lufthansa，however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.
小題1:Which country does the author live in now?
A．India.B．Canada.C．Belgium.D．Germany.
小題2:What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?
A．Growing up in India.
B．Once staying in Canada.

D．His father's stories about his traveling experiences.

A．The author traveled with one of his parents.
B．Both their going and return were by air.
C．They traveled in spring that year.
D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that Lufthansa is ________.
A．a(chǎn) city in IndiaB．a(chǎn) city in Europe
C．a(chǎn)n airline companyD．a(chǎn) travel agency

When John Weston awoke that morning, he remembered that his mother was going into hospital. He hadn’t worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though that she hadn’t been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to an expert who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John’s father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. John’s cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn’t care much for it. Apart from missing his mother(and he was glad she was going away because they would make her better), he wasn’t very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.
