本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章圍繞主題“美國夢”講述了作者的心理變化，作者遭遇了一系列的不幸后，在鄉(xiāng)村的經(jīng)歷和體驗讓他對“美國夢”有了不同于以往的更為深刻的理解。
小題1:解析：選A。根據(jù)該句話的語境“跟其他所有人一樣我想實現(xiàn)美國夢并且為此努力工作，我們所有人各自奮斗，目標相同”可知，應選separately“各自地，分別地”。equally相等地，平等地；violently激烈地；naturally自然地。
小題2:解析：選B。由本空前的“through a series of unhappy events”可知，作者經(jīng)歷了一系列的不幸之后，夢想破碎了。故應選fall apart崩潰，破碎。fall off 減少；跌落；變壞；fall over 被……絆倒；意外地從……上跌落；fall out 爭吵；脫落；解散。
小題3:解析：選D。此處語境為：窮困潦倒時，作者只好到鄉(xiāng)村找了一個便宜的居所。此處搭配為search...for...“在……搜索……”。其余選項均不符合語境。
小題4:解析：選D。由“I had my truck and $56.”可知作者已經(jīng)到了幾乎身無分文的地步，帶著身上僅由的56美元，作者只能以盡可能便宜的價格租下住所，故用cheapest。
小題5:解析：選C。此處語境為：作者找到了一座破舊的可以租賃的房子，位于西弗吉尼亞洲的波托馬克河對岸，沿著蜿蜒的山路向上四英里處。over在此處意為“在……的另一邊”，又如：They live over the river in Richmond.他們住在河對面的里士滿區(qū)。
小題6:解析：選B。由“a shabby house”“full of broken glass and rubbish”可知這是一座破舊的房子，到處都是玻璃碎片和垃圾，由此推測這里已被“遺棄”多時。abandoned“被放棄的，被遺棄的”，符合題意。occupied已占用的，在使用的；emptied被清空的；robbed被搶劫的。
小題7:解析：選C。作者找到房主租下房子后，必須先進行清理之后才能“camp in”，所以此空填cleared，即作者先“清理”了一個角落。turn旋轉(zhuǎn)，使改變方向；approach接近，走近，靠近；cut剪切；切成。這三項均與語境不符。
小題8:解析：選A。句意：盡管當?shù)厝藢ξ乙粺o所知，但是慢慢地，它們開始教我……很顯然前后是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用but。although盡管，雖然，它的位置應該放在“The locals knew nothing about me...”之前；otherwise否則，不然；for因為，由于。
小題9:解析：選D。此處語境：他們開始教我與鄰居們相處的藝術(shù)。art藝術(shù)，技能，符合題意。benefit 利益，好處；lesson教訓，經(jīng)驗；nature自然；天性。這三項均與語境不符。
小題10:解析：選A。本題考查動詞短語的意義辨析。stick around逗留，停留；look around環(huán)視周圍；swing around使轉(zhuǎn)過；turn around(使)轉(zhuǎn)身；(使)好轉(zhuǎn)。此處語境為：鄰居們開始在此逗留與我聊天，故選A項。
小題11:解析：選C。文章第一段講到了作者起初理解的美國夢是工作、按揭、信用卡和成功，而由空格后的“...not the one of individual achievement but of...”可知，現(xiàn)在信仰的是一個“不同的”美國夢，故選different。wild野生的，野蠻的，狂野的；real 真實的；remote偏僻的，遙遠的。
小題12:解析：選A。本段前面講到鄰居們教作者做鄰居的藝術(shù)，給他提供了很多幫助，由此可知選neighborliness“友善，睦鄰友好”，側(cè)重指鄰里關(guān)系。其余三項分別意為“幸�！薄坝押�，親切”“仁慈，好意”。
小題13:解析：選D。根據(jù)第一段所描述的美國夢的內(nèi)容“a job，a mortgage(按揭)，credit cards，success”可知，作者原來認為這些東西是文明生活所必需的，故選necessary。unique獨特的；expensive昂貴的；rare稀少的。這三項均不符合語境。
小題14:解析：選A。由第二段中“I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road...”可知房子在山上，故選up。
小題15:解析：選B。句意：在這座山上，我最珍貴的財產(chǎn)是我和鄰居們的關(guān)系(relationship)。cooperation合作；satisfaction滿意；appointment約會。這三項均不符合語境。
小題16:解析：選C。解答該題的依據(jù)是第二段中的“I __38__the countryside for some place...”及本段的“Four years later，moved back into...”。與countryside相對的是town，故選C。reality現(xiàn)實；society社會；life 生活。這三項均不符合語境。
小題17:解析：選B。該空前的“many people were having a really hard time”說明許多人正過著相當艱難的生活，可推測是“失去”了工作和家，故選losing。create創(chuàng)造，offer提供，明顯不符合語境；quit只能和jobs搭配，不能和homes搭配。
小題18:．解析：選C。本題考查對四個動詞短語的意思的理解。put in放進，提交，申請；turn in上交，拐入，告發(fā)；take in讓……進入，接受，理解，欺騙；get in進入，收獲，被錄取。此處說作者設(shè)法租了一個足夠大的房子能讓一些人住進來，因此選C。get in是指人主動進入，不符合語境。
小題19:解析：選B。此處語境為：如果我們不團結(jié)在一起，我們就都會流落到住收容所(shelters)的地步。yard庭院；camp帳篷；cottage 小屋，村舍。這三項均不符合語境。
小題20:解析：選D。此處語境為：與其說美國夢在于自己能得到什么，不如說它在于我們所有人如何一起渡過難關(guān)。get by勉強度日，為固定搭配。about后面的從句不缺主語、賓語和表語，因此不選what；也沒有“是否”(whether)的意思；也沒有涉及時間(when)問題，因此只能選how。

Going green seems to be a fad(時尚)for a lot of people these days.Whether that is good or bad，we can’t really say，but for the two of us，going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22,2011，we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green things，and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energy，we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year，Our Green Year started.My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year，we completely changed our lifestyles.We now shop at organic(有機的)stores.We consume less meat，choosing green food.We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice，with no chemical cleaners.We make our own butter，enjoying the smell of home­made fresh bread.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

(2013·高考陜西卷，D)About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled(注冊) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office，and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO，no，it can’t be.What a helpless，lonely moment！I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class，Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry；“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home？”
No，I didn’t speak English at home，I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn’t want him to forget his native language.Well，wrong answer！What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？”
Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”．Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left.
As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well­adjusted，contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual(雙語的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the“educator”I met in New Jersey.
小題1:The teacher asked the author to his office________.
A．to discuss Scola’s in­class performance
B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．to find a language partner for Scola
D．to work out a study plan for Scola
小題2:What does the underlined word“disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Breaking B．Following
C．Attending D．Disturbing
小題3:The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as________.
A．critical     B．casual
C．positive D passive
小題4:This text is likely to be selected from a book of________.
A．medicine     B．education
C．geography D history

(2013·高考廣東卷，C)One day，when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office.It was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family，”he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I’m very worried about him.Can you help？”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to，and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met，David didn’t say a word.He sat there，only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me.It’s not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn，”he said.
After that day，David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens.
小題1:When he first met the author，David________.
A．felt a little excited
B．walked energetically
C．looked a little nervous
D．showed up with his teacher
小題2:As a psychologist，the author________.
A．was ready to listen to David
B．was skeptical about psychology
C．was able to describe David’s problem
D．was sure of handling David’s problem
小題3:David enjoyed being with the author because he________.
A．wanted to ask the author for advice
B．needed to share sorrow with the author
C．liked the children’s drawings in the office
D．beat the author many times in the chess game
小題4:What can be inferred about David?
A．He recovered after months of treatment.
B．He liked biking before he lost his family.
C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D．He got friends in school before he met the author.
小題5:What made David change?
A．His teacher’s help.
B．The author’s friendship.
C．His exchange of letters with the author.
D．The author’s silent communication with him.

Have you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.
They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don't talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.
Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.
The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If you've got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8：00 am and you're on the 18th plane in line, you're going to be 40 minutes late.”
Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.
The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays.
The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.
小題1:FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by ________ between two regions.
A．different languages
B．technical misunderstanding
C．misunderstanding of the rules
D．lack of communication
小題2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays?
A．A growing number of flights.
B．Bad weather.
C．A growing population.
D．Lack of new technology
小題3:From the passage we can infer that ________.
A．FAA is a national center which controls all the flight matters
B．FAA has taken control to solve airport delays
C．in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutes
D．safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays
小題4:Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage?
A．FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays.
B．Airport delays are on the rise.
C．Travel problems cost billions in lost work time.
D．FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide.

After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program，her mother recalled，Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices.“Everyone else was already admitted to college，” her mother，Rosemarie Colvin，said from the family home.“So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said，‘You_have_to_let_me_in.'”
“Impressed—she was a National Merit (全國英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil—Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978，where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist，” her mother said.
On Wednesday，Marie Colvin,56，an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London，was killed as Syrian forces shelled the city  of Homs.She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”，Mrs.Colvin said.“Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out.She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”
Mrs.Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones.“If you knew my daughter，” she said，“it would have been such a waste of words.She was determined，she was enthusiastic about what she did，it was her life.There was no saying ‘Don't do this.' This is who she was，absolutely who she was and what she believed in：cover the story，not just have pictures of it，but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.”“So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism，” her mother said.
小題1:From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1，we can infer that ________.
A．Yale was her last choice
B．Yale must keep its promise to Marie Colvin
C．Marie Colvin was confident of herself

a．She was doing a story in Syria and got killed.
b．She was admitted to Yale University.
c．She studied in Brazil as an exchange student.
d．She was hired by The Sunday Times of London.
e．She began to take an interest in journalism.
A．d→e→c→a→b　B．c→b→e→d→a
C．e→d→c→b→a　D．b→c→d→e→a
小題4:From the last paragraph we can know that Mrs.Colvin ________.
A．knows her daughter very well
B．cares little about her daughter
C．dislikes the choice of her daughter
D．doesn't fully appreciate her daughter
小題5:What can be the best title of the text?

The story I’m going to tell truly happened in my life.
The other day, I met a man outside the gym who       a movie star. He was handsome and smiling. His upper body was muscular（肌肉發(fā)達的）and he       to be on top of the world.
“How are you?” I       with a smile. “I’m doing really well,” he replied in a cheerful voice. His enthusiasm and big smile        the parking garage.        as he walked up, I       his long legs were thin and I saw he had a silver cane (手杖). “Why do you need that cane?” I couldn’t        thinking he had a minor injury. “I have MS,” he answered in a        voice too, as if his broad smile       left his face. Multiple Sclerosis（多發(fā)性硬化癥）is a very serious disease and often painful. I looked at him from my little red sports car and said, “You        it very well. You seem like a happy man       the MS.” Without losing a bit of his smile he replied, “I am a happy man,” and then added, “I’d be even happier if I had that sports       .”
It was ironic (諷刺的). Just       we spoke, I’d been sitting in that little sports car, feeling sad about my painful shoulder over the last 11 months as I was       after an operation. Here’s a man with a       far tougher than mine, but his positive attitude made him feel no less happiness. He went on with his       of life as usual, which moved me deeply.
It was also a wonderful reminder of that old       , “I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet.”       your problems, just keep in       that none of us goes through life       and you should make the most of what you have, like the man with MS. Count your blessings.
