20.My parents were in a huge argument,and I was really upset about it.I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling.So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house.Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents'situation,I was looking forward to getting out of the house.I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood.Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about.But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark.I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored.He was quite happy and said,"Great opportunity."
"What is it?"I asked.
"To talk,you and I"he said."To hold a private little meeting about what we're going to do with your mom and dad,and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in."
"But we can't do anything about it.Grandpa,"I said,surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same"boat"as I was.
And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started.Sitting in the dark,we talked about our feelings and fears of life-from how fast things change,to how they sometimes don't change fast enough.That night,because the power went out,I found a new friend,with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains,whatever they may be.Suddenly,the lights all came back on."Well,"he said,"I guess that means you'll want to go now.I really like our talk.I hope the power will go out every few nights!"

21.1wished to get out of the house becauseB.
A.I was angry about my parents'quarrel
B.I found nobody to share my feelings with
C.I wanted to escape from the dark house
D.I planned to tell my friend about my trouble
22.Grandpa was happy to see me becauseA.
A.he could discuss the problem with me  
B.he had not seen me for a long lime
C.he was afraid of darkness           
D.he felt quite lonely
23.What can be inferred from the passage?B
A.The grandchild was eager to leave.
B.They would have more chats.
C.The lights would go out again.
D.It would no longer be dark.

分析 文章介紹父母爭吵使作者感到?jīng)]有人可以分享自己的感受,但是突然的停電使作者發(fā)現(xiàn)有個新的朋友可以交流自己的想法,就是他的爺爺.

解答 21:B  細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第二句I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling可知作者發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有人可以分享他的感受.故選B.
22:A  推理判斷題.由第四段第一句"To talk,you and I"可知此處是對上文He was quite happy and said,"Great opportunity."的解釋.可知爺爺認為他可以和我討論這個問題.故選A.
23:B  細節(jié)理解題.文章結尾Grandpa所說的話I guess that means you'll want to go now.I really like our talk.I hope the power will go out every few nights!表明了態(tài)度.爺爺想和作者多談一談.故選B.

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

5.Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada.Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival.This is why it is celebrated in late fall,after the crops are in.But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest.On December 4,1619,the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City,Virginia.They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth,Massachusetts,in 1620.They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel.Many of the Pilgrims died.But the next year,they had a good harvest.So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast(盛宴).The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast.Everyone brought food.
In time,other colonies(殖民地)began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving.But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day.During the Civil War,Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it.He proclaimed(宣布)the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.Today,Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November.Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours.But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.

A.in spring

A.some people from England    
 B.the American Indians
C.Sarah Josepha Hale

A.in the U.S.A.
B.in Great Britain   
C.in Canada   
D.on some island off the Atlantic

15.If you have ever been discouraged because of failure,please read on.Usually,achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing.Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.As they were working,several older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?"asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh,telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a long silence,one of the diggers picked up a bottle full of spiders and insects.He removed the lid(蓋子) and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them.Then he said quietly and confidently,"Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth,look at what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too difficult,but it made them big.And that is what a goal is for-to make us move in the direction we have chosen.In other words,it sets us digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not every hope will come to pass.Not every love will last.But when you fall short of your aim,perhaps you can say,"Yes,but look at what I found along the way!Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"And I believe it is the joy in the journey,in the end,that truly matters.

24.One of the brothers showed a bottle to the older boys toB.
A.present what tools they were using
B.show what they had found in their digging
C.frighten them away
D.make them curious
25.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible
B.the writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day
C.a(chǎn) goal is something that we have chosen and want to achieve
D.everyone can succeed if he sets a goal
26.What is the best title for the passage?D
A.Failure is the mother of success     
B.Where there is a will,there is a way
C.No pains,no gains

12.Not long ago,I answered a telephone call from an old friend Jack."Hi,Steve,"he said,"I just wanted to see how you are getting along."For whatever reason,for months our paths had simply not crossed.It was good to talk with him.I wondered why we hadn't kept in touch better.Towards the end of the conversation,he said,"If you need me in any way,I will be happy to help out."And he meant it.
That call came at just the right time.That time,I had just about reached the lowest point in my life.I lost my job because of my poor performance,but I really needed the job to support the family.I needed those words of encouragement.The phone did it.I hung up the phone feeling real warmth in my chest.
    And that day I re-learned something important about life:life is mainly about people---not plans and schedules,not to-do lists and a million tasks left undone---it's about people.
    My friend reminded me that it is never enough just to love; we must also express it.He advised me to share my trouble with my wife or even my children.He would like to have phone calls and be my listener.What good is our love toward others if we don't find ways to let them know?
George William Childs said like this:Do not keep the box of your love and friendship sealed(封閉) up until your friends are dead.Fill their lives with sweetness.Speak cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be made happier.Say the kind things you mean to say before they go.Happiness may be just a phone call away.
28.By"our paths had simply not crossed",the author meansD
A.they avoided meeting each other         
B.they lived far away from each other
C.they went different ways to go to work      
D.they didn't have contact with each other
29.What happened to Steve when he received Jack's call?B
A.He ran out of money                     
B.He was out of work
C.He lost his friends'support               
D.He couldn't balance his work and family
30.What's Jack's suggestion to the author?D
A.Running his own business                
B.Caring more about life than work
C.Working hard to support his family          
D.Communicating with his family and friends
31.According to George William Childs,A
A.love should be spoken out                   
B.true love suffers,and is silent
C.happiness is as simple as a phone call      
D.don't say bad words about your beloved ones.

9.Imagine what you could do with a machine that could make things disappear.
(36)F In the books of J.R.R.Tolkein,Bilbo Baggins finds a ring that can make him disappear.Of course,there's also poor Harry Potter,who used his invisibility cloak (隱形斗篷)to hide  from danger.
Now that you've got some ideas,it's time for the hard part:building the cloak.(37)G
An invisibility cloak has to cheat anything or anyone who might be watching.In order to understand how something can be seen,it's important to understand how we see.
Human beings can only see objects that reflect light waves.These waves enter the eyes and are then processed by the brain.However,if an object doesn't reflect light,then the waves don't enter the eyes,and the brain doesn't process.(38)C
Cummer was part of a team of scientists from Duke University,including David Smith and David Schurig,who built the world's first version of an invisibility cloak.(39)EHe in May said that an invisibility cloak was possible and Pendry was not the only one thinking about a disappearing act.At the same time,a Scottish physicist,Ulf Leonhardt published a paper on building invisibility equipment.
"It wasn't easy,"says Cummer."As often happens in science and research,it didn't work very well the first time.That first cloak didn't work like Harry Potter's-(40)BSo the research is still under way."

A.Would you like an invisibility cloak that works just like the one Harry Potter got from his father?
B.The scientists didn't actually seeanything disappear.
C.So building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesn't reflect light.
D.Researchers in England and the USA have found the materials to build such a cloak.
E.They had been inspired by the work of a British physicist,John Pendry.
F.For inspiration,you could read some books.
G.To do that,you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science.
