20．It was a Sunday morning，and I was in a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．"Want to go for a ride today，Beck？It's a beautiful day．"
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning．
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and went．When I came home I found a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．"Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital"．
When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive．"Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God!If he had moved Daddy，there's no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced （穿透）a lung…．"
My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear．I didn't hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day？
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him．
"Daddy…I am so sorry…．"
"It's okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．"
"No，"I said，"I mean about what I said to you that day．You know，that morning？"
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said，"Sweetheart，I don't remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident．I remember kissing you goodnight the night before，though．"He managed a weak smile．
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．
51．The author was in bad mood that morning becauseC．
A．his father had a terrible accident
B．he couldn't drive to the mall with his friends
C．his friends hadn't invited him to the cinema
D．his father didn't allow him to go out with his friends

A．Because he didn't go along with his father．
B．Because he was rude to his father that morning．
C．Because he failed to come earlier after the accident．
D．Because he couldn't look after his father in the hospital．
53．The reason why the author's father said he forgot everything about that day is thatC
A．he had a poor memory

分析 文章通過一件事情講述了不好的話能帶給他人傷害這一道理．作者因為沒有得到朋友的邀請而很生氣，和爸爸說話時，沒有控制情緒，對爸爸很粗魯．得知爸爸出事之后，作者感到非常后悔，他向爸爸道了歉，爸爸沒有怪作者．最后，作者認識到，語言可以傷人也可以救人，我們應該把握分寸，不能用惡語傷人．

解答 51 C 根據(jù)第一段第一行"Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me．"可知，作者的兩個朋友去看電影沒有邀請作者，作者因此很生氣，故選C．
52 B 根據(jù)第五段"How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day？"可知，作者意識到那天早上說的氣話傷害了他父親，作者因此像父親道歉，故選B．
53 C 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Sweetheart，I don't remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident．"可知，作者的父親說自己已經(jīng)忘記那天發(fā)生的事情了，父親是為了安慰作者，才這么說的，故選C．
54 B 根據(jù)最后一段"words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on．"可知，語言蘊含力量，既可傷人，也可療傷，我們應該在合適的時候說恰當?shù)脑�，不應該用惡語傷人，故選B．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關句，（1）排除與原文相關句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結合文章主旨和主題去排除．

10．Human cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks．Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged，and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden．
With cloning，infertilecouples could have children．Current treatments for infertility，in terms of percentages，are not very successful．Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children．Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children．Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before．

11．An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything，but when it comes to it，an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事實）behind the image，the product，service or person will fail eventually．
First of all，one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created，the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example，the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal（丑聞）showed that behind that image，it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image，the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect，the reality，behind the image has led to tile downfall of the word-famous accounting firm．
Similarly，personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases，making sure that only the best photographs are published，and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again，history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people，just as with products and services，image is certainly important，but without positive substance behind the image，failure is close．
To summarize，it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success，whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the"selling"of a person．But image is only half of the equation（等式）．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself--the person or product must deliver truth on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．
67．The down fall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due toB．
A．its previous images                 
B．its dishonesty in business
C．its bad management                
D．its poor service
68．Why did some famous people fall from grace？A
A．They failed to live up to their images．
B．Their images were not well built up．
C．They felt much pressure from the public．
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．
69．The structure of the passage isA．

70．The author tries to argue thatD．
A．image creates everything            
B．image is the key to success
C．truth is unlikely ever to be equaled    
D．truth and image are equally important．

8．As the new term starts，freshmen around the world are asking the same question：how can I make the best of four years at college？The New York Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and seniors at some of the top universities．Here is their advice．
"Many young people today are raised in a protective cocoon（繭）"，wrote Tim Novikoff，a PhD student at Comell．"College is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself．Take classes in different subjects．Try lots of different clubs and activities．"
Remember also to take some time away from campus，suggested Willie Lin，a student at Washington University．"If you spend all of your time in school，then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions．"
Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor---this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill，a PhD student at Stony Brook University．And he also said，"With a window into the world of research，you will find yourself thinking more critically，accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave sense of what you can accomplish．"
Many young people can't imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cell phones．But try to keep yourself off them，cautioned Christine Smallwood，a PhD student at Columbia University．
Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day，with your phone turned off．It's the only way you'll be able to read anything serious．"This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach，and thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances（熟人），"she suggested．

63．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3means we shouldB．
A．spend more time at school
B．take some time out of school

64．Who thinks it is important to consider something critically？A
A．Aman Singh Gill     B．Christine Smallwood
C．Tim Novikoff        D．Willlie Lin

A．to keep ourselves off them forever not to use them
B．to turn them off
C．to make a schedule to use them
D．not to use them
66．This passage is mainly aboutA．
A．tips from some students for college life
B．ways to read something serious regularly
C．days without cell-phones and computers
D．chances to go to university you really like．

5．I travel a lot，and I find out different"styles"of directions every time I ask"How can I get to the post office？"
Foreign tourists are often confused （困惑的） in Japan because most streets there don't have names；in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many landmarks．There are no mountains，so the land is very flat；in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distances．In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，"Go north two miles．Turn east，and then go another mile．"
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map；they  measure distance in time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"You ask．"Oh，"they answer，"it's about five minutes from here．"You say，"Yes，but how many miles away is it？"They don't know．
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes．What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say，"Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers"I don't know"．
People in Yucatan believe that"I don't know"is impolite．They usually give an answer，often a wrong one．A tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!
72．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place，they usuallyD．
A．describe the place carefully        
B．show him a map of the place
C．tell him the names of the streets

74．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answerC．
A．in order to save time
