36. C。 根據(jù)文章我們推斷出Andy左右腦結(jié)合的不好，導(dǎo)致身體的右邊跟左邊連接有缺陷。
37. D。 根據(jù)“were not joined normally with each other.”可推斷：Andy 身體的兩邊不能相互交流。
38. B。 從此句中我們判斷出：因?yàn)锳ndy身體方面的缺陷導(dǎo)致他說話，走路等都很困難。
39. D。 因?yàn)樗凶�，說話都有問題，所以只能對(duì)別人的話做出很少的反應(yīng)或回應(yīng)。 respond的意思是“回應(yīng); 反應(yīng); 響應(yīng)”。
40. C。 根據(jù)上文的句意：他行走，說話都有問題，推斷出他走路很緩慢。
41. A。 句意：Andy 參加了一個(gè)全天的康復(fù)醫(yī)療中心，而這個(gè)中心有各種療法。join加入某種組織等；present 后面加at時(shí)出席的意思; go需加上to再加名詞。
42. B。 從此段的第一句話我們可以判斷出。Andy掙扎著去讓自己變得強(qiáng)壯些。
43.   C。 此句話的意思是Andy很討厭父母送他去進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練，之后他們就離開了，但是他父母認(rèn)為這對(duì)Andy很有幫助。However可用于句首，句中，句末，并用逗號(hào)隔開表轉(zhuǎn)折。
44.   D。 從上下文我們Andy的父母期望他能過上正常的健康的生活，應(yīng)該說“to live a normal healthy life”。
45.   C。 從這個(gè)選項(xiàng)的下一句我們得知，Andy努力取得了成功。pay off意思是“取得成功”；pay back償還, 報(bào)復(fù)；pay out支付, 付出, 懲罰, 報(bào)復(fù); pay for為…付款。
46.   A。 從該句中“but”，我們得知Andy雖然在一些事情得到別人特殊地幫助，但是他主動(dòng)地加入到大家的活動(dòng)當(dāng)中。

Dear Florence,
We arrived in India last week, and the voyage was the worst experience of my entire life. I’m lucky to be alive!
The first part of the journey was terrible, because the ship hit bad weather almost as soon as we left Liverpool. But much, much worse was to come. Later, we were involved in a collision with another boat and we had to abandon ship!
We had been at sea for about two weeks and we were in the Mediterranean. There is now a canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea called the Suez Canal, which opened last year. Our boat stopped at Port Said, the Egyptian port at the entrance to the canal. I remember looking through the porthole of my cabin and wishing that I could go ashore and visit this fascinating place, but mummy had ordered that I was to stay in the cabin because I was feeling ill. “you must stay here for at least another two days.” I remember her saying. How wrong she would turn out to be! The ship left the port and headed towards the canal . I was alone in the cabin and I watched the port disappear into the distance. Suddenly there was a loud bang, followed by the most awful crunching（嘎吱的）sound, and the ship shook and turned slightly on its side.
There was an eerie silence for a moment, then people started shouting. Mummy came running into the cabin and told me that we had collided with another boat. She took my hand and we ran along the deck towards the lifeboats. There was a lot of shouting and people were running everywhere, but the crew were all acting calmly, helping people into the lifeboats and telling people not to panic.
Well, clearly we survived, as did all the passengers and crew of the ship. The other boat wasn’t so lucky. It sank and several lives were lost.
I will write about the rest of the journey soon. Please give my love to Aunt Claire and Uncle Eric.
Your loving cousin,
Jane

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day holidays posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (裝飾物) shining against the green of a pine. “Where did it come from?” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, such a rush！He just brought it in this afternoon…” The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the tree top crystal star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas. “It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a good one. But I couldn’t be fussy (挑剔的)．”
“Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.” It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect．

The old idea that child prodigies (神童) “burn themselves” or “overtax their brains” in the early years, therefore, suffer from failure and (at worst) mental illness is just a myth. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.
To find this out, 1,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth years with these results:
On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life.
About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退學(xué)), but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.
Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managerial or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations.
The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.
In a material way they didn’t do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed.
In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (難以適應(yīng)) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.
小題1:The main idea of the passage is __________.
A．that gifted adults can be as intelligent as when they were young
B．that bright children are unlikely to be physically and mentally healthy
C．that gifted children are most likely to become bright grown-ups
D．that when the bright children grow up, they become ordinary
小題2:From the passage, we can conclude that ____________.
A．most of the gifted children became white-collar workers
B．half of the gifted followed up graduated from colleges
C．each of the talented published at least one article
D．successful men got higher income than successful women
小題3: Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
A．The gifted could not be fit for their social positions.
B．Most of the bright and successful women remained single.
C．The gifted men got full marks on intelligence tests.
D．Most of the gifted appeared satisfied with their life.
小題4:The explanation of the underlined part “turning their early promises into practical reality” is _____________.
A．earning their living and keeping promises
B．doing practical jobs and facing reality
C．doing what they have promised
D．realizing what they were expected

Alexis was hot and tired. With rage (憤怒) in her voice she shouted,“Pull me up! I give up. I hate this. This is stupid!” It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said,“Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her.”I then shouted down to Alexis,“ Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!”
Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness (系帶) on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted (急突) outward. Jason said to Alexis,“I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping (痙攣) up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But, Alexis, you are strong. Look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult parts up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken.”At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used in her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said,“You are not alone out here. There are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?” Slowly she nodded and took a deep breath.?

The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩紅熱) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the spring time she died.
News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.
小題1:The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their _______.
A．four daughtersB．five daughters
C．son and four daughters D．son and five daughters
小題2:Who was the most successful in career (事業(yè)) among the March girls?
A．Jo B．BethC．AmyD．Meg
小題3:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．The march Family B．The March Parents
C．The March GirlsD．The March Relatives
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that the March family had ______.
A．both happiness and sadnessB．wealthy neighbors
