試題分析：作者通過講述在商店里幫助一位窮顧客的故事，說明了兩個道理：第一，做人應(yīng)該有一副熱心腸；第二，人無論貧富，都是平等的，都應(yīng)享受同等的權(quán)利和地位。
小題1:A 根據(jù)第三段中she purchased the item可知，她買的這件商品本來是為女兒買的。
小題2:C 根據(jù)下文“exchange the item for something else”，應(yīng)該是他的女兒已經(jīng)有了類似的東西。
小題3:B 因為女兒已經(jīng)有了類似的東西，所以這位婦女想換一件另外的商品。 manage to do是“成功做了某事”的意思。
小題4:B 根據(jù)下一段的內(nèi)容可知，調(diào)換商品需要有ID卡（商家發(fā)放的一種顧客身份標(biāo)識卡）才可以，否則無法調(diào)換。 
小題5:A 作者決定幫助這位婦女，于是和她一起走到商店的柜臺處。
小題6:D 根據(jù)全文語境可以看出，這位黑人婦女在商店受到了不公正的待遇，被拒絕調(diào)換商品。售貨員看到她找到作者幫助，十分不禮貌地指責(zé)她不應(yīng)該隨便找個人來幫忙。
小題7:D 考察上下文語境。這位婦女并不認識作者，找到她屬于隨機行為。因此售貨員的話符合事實。
小題8:B 這位婦女并不認識作者，找到她屬于隨機行為。因此售貨員的話符合事實。
小題9:A 售貨員所指責(zé)的情況屬實，但作者不明白隨便找個人來幫忙就有那么值得關(guān)注嗎（有什么值得如此大驚小怪的呢）。matter意為“關(guān)系重大”。
小題10:D 畢竟不是所有的人都有機會獲得ID卡的。
小題11:C 根據(jù)下文“then went on to say the woman could not   47  she purchased the item.”說明經(jīng)理要設(shè)置退換商品的門檻。經(jīng)理解釋說即使有了ID卡，如果沒有收據(jù)的話，也是沒有辦法退換商品的。
小題12:B 接著上面的話，經(jīng)理順?biāo)浦壅f這位婦女不能證明該商品是在他這里買的。
小題13:D 經(jīng)理的這種無賴的行為激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例來進行反駁：如果我，一位白人女性，到這里要求換貨，沒有收據(jù)，照樣我是不會被（你們）拒絕的。因為我有過去的經(jīng)歷為證。 
小題14:C經(jīng)理的這種無賴的行為激怒了作者，于是作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例來進行反駁：如果我，一位白人女性，到這里要求換貨，沒有收據(jù)，照樣我是不會被（你們）拒絕的。因為我有過去的經(jīng)歷為證。 
小題15:A 從語境可知，經(jīng)理意識到自己的言行失當(dāng)，因此同意換商品。 
小題16:C 根據(jù)句中but后面的內(nèi)容可知，作者在婦女請求幫助時，一開始也猶豫過。
小題17:D 但她很快地調(diào)整心態(tài)，捫心自問：“為什么不幫她，我有不幫她的正當(dāng)理由嗎？”
小題18:C但她很快地調(diào)整心態(tài)，捫心自問：“為什么不幫她，我有不幫她的正當(dāng)理由嗎？”
小題19:B 從下文可知，這位婦女看起來非常窮。售貨員和經(jīng)理的無禮行為可能與此有關(guān)。作者想要表達的是，我們不應(yīng)該以貌取人（不能通過書的封皮確定一本書的質(zhì)量）。
小題20:A 人雖然窮，但有資格和別人享受同等的待遇。
點評：作者通過講述在商店里幫助一位窮顧客的故事，說明了兩個道理：第一，做人應(yīng)該有一副熱心腸；第二，人無論貧富，都是平等的，都應(yīng)享受同等的權(quán)利和地位。本文主要是測試學(xué)生綜合運用語言的能力，即從語篇的角度綜合測試閱讀理解能力、詞匯的掌握和對英語習(xí)慣用語的熟悉程度、以及語法規(guī)則的靈活運用�？忌鲱}時必須時刻從上下文考慮，不應(yīng)該只看到所添的詞在短語或句子內(nèi)是否可行。因此，在做題時最好將全文通讀一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。

Attitude is an internal(內(nèi)在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(個人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(獲得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single events, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.
小題1:According to the passage, attitudes        .
A．come from different situations in one’s life
B．a(chǎn)re largely affected by one’s behavior
C．remain unchanged in one’s daily life
D．could be chosen according to one’s will
小題2:The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show        .
A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
B．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds
C．particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action
D．a(chǎn)n individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?
A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
B．Attitudes learned in danger will last no more.
C．Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.
D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Differences of Attitudes.B．Nature(本質(zhì)) of Attitude.
C．Choices of Attitudes.D．Changes of Attitude.

As I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my computer. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.
I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy's imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激進的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn't know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深奧的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn't seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren't at all interested in philosophy. I didn't stop reading, you can't avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手冊) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (電路板) inside my computer. It's on a desk in front of a working chair and I can't see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it's nice to have it on while I'm typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I'm reading about six at the same time. I don't want to be any of the characters. I don't care if a thousand people have already read them. I don't have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they've been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.
小題1:The writer enjoyed reading “l(fā)iterature” between the ages of nine and fourteen because ________.
A．he thought it was important for a schoolboy to do so
B．he was still too young to understand other books
C．he believed all the real historical figures were his friends
D．he could imagine himself being the characters in the books
小題2:“Existentialism” (in paragraph 4) is probably ________.
A．a(chǎn) library intended for teenagersB．a(chǎn) kind of books on traditions
C．a(chǎn) philosophy theoryD．a(chǎn) kind of reading skill
小題3:The main reason the writer stopped reading books was that ________.
A．he found watching TV was more interesting
B．he became too busy to read any books
C．he found books were of little use to his work
D．he had to read a lot of manuals, contracts and documents
小題4:Now the writer starts to read books again ________.
A．to find back his youth in booksB．for the pure pleasure of reading
C．so as to help kill his spare timeD．for only business purposes
小題5:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．The Years with BooksB．Books and TV Programs
C．Don’t Judge a Book by Its CoverD．Reading Makes One Excellent

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance,   41   for the train to take me to my   42  in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves,  43  their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the  44  was getting close, my hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 45 ! I searched through my bag and then I felt  46 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be  47 there. “What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me. “Oh, nothing…. Well, I  48   my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket.

“Here, use this.” The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up,  5 0 . People just didn’t do that anymore. Everyone worried about their own  51 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers. “Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“  52  it – go!” The man pushed me  53  the train.  I bought a round – trip ticket, and he refused the change I  54 to give him back. I did not know what to say – a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood   55  .
For the train ride I was wordless. I began to see the world through  56 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple  57  .
A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra 20$  58  I saw the man. And there he was. “Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I  59  the money into his hand. Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes someday.” I smiled, content.

I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed. It was time. The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights. I’d procrastinated（拖延，耽擱）long enough.
I got up, went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room. The garland(花環(huán))was the first to come down. The tree looked naked(光禿禿的)already. I took the large ornament（裝飾物）off next. They made a large pile on our bed. An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories. Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.
I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite. “Hey, little Santa!” I held the Santa from my childhood. “Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years.” He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories. “Until next year, my dear friend.”
There was a collection of handmade ones. My children made in the their first years of school, more than twenty years ago. Made by tiny hands, they are far from perfect in design, but every year they go on my memory tree－memories of young giggles(咯咯地笑)on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work. “Look what we made, Daddy!”
“Oh! It is beautiful. Let’s find a special spot on the tree for it.” Every year since, they are displayed.
A few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed(用吸塵器清掃)and I sat staring at a barren(空蕩蕩的)corner. The room seemed so empty. It took me two days of work to assemble(收集)and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apart.
My tree is like a good marriage or a great friendship. Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quickly.
Every year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships. I take great care of those. They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live. I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year. I can do the same with the loves in my life every day. Take great care of your friendships and your marriage. Once they come down, they aren’t as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree. Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.
小題1:In the author’s eyes, the Christmas tree      .
A．is a collection of childhood memories
B．is a symbol of long-lasting relations
C．takes too much time to decorate
D．is full of out-of-date ornaments
小題2:To the author, a Christmas tree is similar to a good marriage in that      .
A．both take time to build but fall apart easily
B．both remind him of bittersweet memories
C．both need to be admired for some time
D．both get less attractive over the years
小題3:What is the main theme of the article?
A．We’d better put away Christmas decorations and recycle them each year.
B．Friendships and marriages should be valued and managed carefully.
C．Memories with friends and family should be cherished and relived.
D．We should decorate Christmas trees with personal stuff and recycle.

Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque (如畫的) countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds piled up overhead and rain began to fall, but strange to ___50___, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Riding, however, as rapidly as I could, I found it ___51___ to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward. I continued this unequal contest for an exhausting half hour, ___52___ realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.
Then it dawned upon me that I was wasting my strength in unimportant hurry, while paying no attention whatsoever to the landscape ___53___ which I was making the trip. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not unendurable. Indeed, there was much to look at which might ___54___ have escaped me. As I gazed about with sharpened ___55___, I saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared differently under brilliant light. The rain mists (薄霧) which now ___56___ the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing (迷人的). My annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to ___57___ it disappeared. It had provided me with a new view and helped me understand that the ___58___ of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at hand within the ___59___ of one’s own sensibilities.
It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my ___60___ ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely ___61___ and frequently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, __62__ with spirit, and triumph with humility. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final ___63___, and that, in the last analysis, all achievement is dangerously weak ___64___ based on enduring principles of moral conduct.

An old woman had two large pots, one on each end of a pole. She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”

It is three in the morning on a Tuesday, and I’m walking toward table eighteen, the one I call home. I pass the waiters, give a brief nod to the  小題1:  and take my seat. I  小題2:  the “usual,” water and peanut butter pie. Yes, I’m at an all-night diner.
I start to take out my books,  小題3: full well that I will be  小題4: on the same page of Socrates that I’ve been on for the better part of the semester. Of course, it’s   小題5:  —for my group that is. I wait for the empty chairs around me to be   小題6:  .
Just as the Muzak songs start to repeat themselves, Shana and Jenny walk in. I am   小題7:   with the usual big hugs and smiles. 小題8: , the diner stops being a twenty-for-hour restaurant with bad service and becomes my place—my home   小題9: the prisonlike dorm room. For the next couple of hours, we will joke about people we know, talk about books, reflect on the meaning of life, quote movies and  小題10: new private jokes. Table number eighteen is our  小題11:  home.
During my senior year of college, I started going to the diner for a temporary escape from a dorm room that felt like it was closing in on me. Not to 小題12:  the phones, the stereo and the computer.

But that’s not the   小題16: . I mean, anyone who has gone to college knows that it’s not only about forcing yourself to wake up at 7:45 A.M. (after you had gone to sleep two hours earlier) to listen to a professor spoon-feeding you information  小題17: the significance of the Battle of Hastings. It is  小題18: about finding a little haven where you can create what will be the most important thing in your life—yourself. At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as   小題19: to me as my Social Security number.
Through laughter, tears, learning, growing and the   小題20: free ice cream, we found a sanctuary. A place where we could be ourselves.
