一各男孩誕生于一對(duì)夫婦結(jié)婚11 年之后。他們是一對(duì)恩愛的夫婦，男孩是他們的掌上明珠。當(dāng)男孩約在兩歲時(shí)，一天早上，丈夫看見一瓶藥瓶打開了。由于他上班快遲到了，所以他要他的妻把這藥瓶放在碗柜里。他的妻子全神貫注在廚房里，忘了此事。男孩子看見這藥瓶并且被它的顏色迷住，要拿這瓶玩，并且喝光它。它碰巧是一種小劑量方面計(jì)劃是要給成年人的有毒的藥。當(dāng)孩子倒下時(shí)，他母親急忙的送他到醫(yī)院。他死了，母親被嚇昏了。她害怕的不知如何面對(duì)她的丈夫。當(dāng)這精神渙散的父親來(lái)到醫(yī)院，看見死亡的孩子時(shí)，他看了他的妻子并且僅僅說(shuō)了4 個(gè)字．．．．．．。
1．A。treat…as…“把…….視為/看作”，如：He treated his mistake as a joke. 他把他的錯(cuò)誤當(dāng)作玩笑看待。；think of……as….；ignore不理睬；忽視，及物動(dòng)詞。如：I tried to tell her but she ignored me. 我打算告訴她，可是她不理睬我。又如："Ignore the child if he misbehaves, and he'll soon stop." "小孩不乖時(shí),別去理他,不久他就會(huì)不鬧了。"；abandon也是及物動(dòng)詞，意為“拋棄；舍棄；離棄”，如：abandon one's home離棄家園，又如：They abandoned the game because of rain. 因?yàn)橄掠瓯荣愅Ｖ沽恕?br />2．D。根據(jù)后面的cap（vt.蓋上），可以看出，此處應(yīng)填open（adj. 開著的, 敞開的）；shut（v.關(guān)閉，關(guān)上）；close  adj. 近的, 緊密的；bare adj. 赤裸的, 無(wú)遮蔽的, 空的。
3．C。put…away“收起來(lái)放好，保存好”；put…aside“（暫時(shí)）放在一邊”；set…aside     “取消, 駁回”;leave… alone“不關(guān)，不理”。只有C符合句意。
4．C。根據(jù)句意“在廚房忙…的母親完全忘了這件事�！贝颂幨侵^語(yǔ)，who…是個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。本題易誤選A。
5．B。fascinate迷住, 使神魂顛倒; 吸引; 使感興趣，如：The changing vivid colours of the sunset fascinated the eye. 日落時(shí)變化多端的色彩使人看得入迷。其它選項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)境意思。又如：He's fascinated with Buddhist ceremonies. 他迷上了佛教的儀式。
6．A。happen to(和名詞連用)臨到...頭上(某情況, 尤指不幸的事); (和動(dòng)詞連用)偶然; 碰巧，如：I happened to be in the market yesterday when a fire started. 昨天發(fā)生火災(zāi)時(shí)，我正好在市場(chǎng)上。又如：I happened to see Peter on the way to the bookstore yesterday. 昨天我去書店的路上碰巧遇見了彼得。It seems to be…(似乎)和It appears to…不符合句意；utter“發(fā)出, 做聲, 發(fā)表”。

15．B。考查對(duì)上下文的理解。孩子已經(jīng)死了，再追究．．．就沒有意義了。point“要點(diǎn)；意／含義；論點(diǎn)；寓意”如：I don't see the point of waiting for her, she is probably not coming. 我不知道等她有什么意義，她可能不來(lái)了。I don’t see your point. 我不懂你的意思。
16．C。Besides“另外; 此外”起補(bǔ)充作用，如：It's too late to go to the basketball match now; besides it's beginning to rain. 現(xiàn)在去看籃球比賽已經(jīng)太晚了, 何況, 又開始下雨了。Therefore“因此, 所以”，含有因果關(guān)系，不合適； Otherwise“（用于推論）因而，因此”We do not have enough money. Therefore we cannot afford to buy the new car. 我們的錢不夠,因此買不成這輛新車。However“雖然如此, 可是, 仍然, 然而”
17．A。be to blame [習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)] “應(yīng)受譴責(zé)”，如：The children were not to blame. 孩子們不應(yīng)受到譴責(zé)。The driver was not to blame for the traffic accident. 那次交通事故不應(yīng)該責(zé)怪司機(jī)。accuse“控訴; 起訴”， accuse sb. of ... [習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)]“ 指控某人...”，如：He was accused of stealing by the police. 警方控告他犯有盜竊罪。本題易誤選B。

19．D。根據(jù)后面的or whom to blame，可以判斷出答案。accessible “容易取得的；容易接近的，容易受影響的”。本題易誤選B。

Buster Brown was a thief—and a good one，too，he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances. He was always Prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency.
Confidently，he stood outside the house of his intended victim(受害者)and read the sign on the front gate of the house. “Don't worry about the dog—be aware of the owner !” it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.
The house looked quite normal outside，but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As he began putting them into his bag，a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster，then wagged its tail madly and went over to him，licking his outstretched hand.  “Good boy，” Buster whispered.  “What a great guard dog you are—trying to lick me to death.”
Satisfied he’d made friends with the dog，Buster began to wander round the house，choosing items to put in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques(古董)：a pair of silver candleholders，a silver tea-and-coffee service，etc. His new friend，the dog，sat and watched，as if wondering what was happening.
“Well，boy，”Buster whispered，finally. “That might do. Any more and I won’t be able to carry it!” He swung the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.
“You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry as dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before.
“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,” the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world’s greatest fortune-teller!”
60. Why was Buster so confident?
A. He was not afraid of dogs.                       B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone
C. He had never been caught by the police.    D. The house had no security alarm.
61. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word “exotic” in the third paragraph?
A. Messy and untidy.                                          B. Rich and expensive.
C. Comfortable and calming.                              D. Foreign and unusual.
62. How did Buster decide which objects to take?
A. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.
B. He took only the best antiques.
C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.
D. He looked for silver objects.
63. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?
A. A prison sentence with hard labour.             B. A long prison sentence.
C. A heavy fine.                                                 D. Community service for 20 years.

When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反復(fù)的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．
Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（過度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood．
When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．
A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours．
56．We know from the text that those who dreamt about lost his teeth indicates that________．
A．They will have sudden misfortune．
B．They are feeling powerless in life
C．They are as insecure and uncertain as they were in childhood
D．They are experiencing stress in their lives
57．How many different kinds of explanations are mentioned in the text about losing teeth?
A．Two                      B．Three              C．Four             D．Five
58．The underlined expression “rolled around” means_______
A．came about     B．came down      C．came near       D．rolled out
59．We can infer from the text that___________．
A．Our dream can reflect what we go through in our real life．
B．Dreams can damage our valuable sleep．
C．We only dream when we are under great pressure．
D．Our dreams can show us what will happen in the future．
60．The author wrote the passage to tell us that______.

When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble – a word game – against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing(文字處理). This proved to be a bigger challenge(挑戰(zhàn)) to her, so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy(過敏反應(yīng)). For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.

James Stallman Rockefeller, the oldest-known U.S. Olympic medal winner and the former head of the bank that became Citigroup, died Tuesday. He was 102. Records of the U.S. Olympic Committee show that Rockefeller was the oldest American medal winner. He was the captain of Yale University's eight-man rowing team with coxswain that won gold at the 1924 Paris Olympics - beating the Canadian team by less than 16 seconds. The oars from the winning race and the gold medal were prominently displayed in Rockefeller's house. "I think he was really proud of that - probably more than the bank career," said his grandson。
Rockefeller suffered a stroke on Thursday, said his grandson, who lived with him at his Greenwich home for two years, attributed his long life to a regimented(嚴(yán)密組織的) lifestyle: breakfast at eight a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., cocktails at 6 p.m. and dinner promptly at 7 p.m.. He liked plain food, without sauces or cheese, and plenty of fresh vegetables, including those grown in the garden of his estate. Rockefeller was in good health until shortly before he died. He drove his car up until last year and would review documents from the various charities and businesses he helped lead.
Rockefeller, born June 8, 1902, was a grandson of William Rockefeller, who founded Standard Oil with his brother, John D. Rockefeller. He graduated from Yale in 1924 and served in the Airborne Command during World War II. He started at the bank, and then called the National City Bank, in 1930, following his uncle and grandfather, who were leaders of the bank. He was became president in 1952, chairman in 1959 and retired in 1967. In 1955, under Rockefeller's leadership, the bank merged with the First National Bank of New York to form Citigroup. Rockefeller also was a director of numerous companies, including Pan American Airways, Northern Pacific Railroad, NCR and Monsanto, and served on the boards of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the American Museum of Natural History.
Rockefeller and his wife, Nancy Carnegie Rockefeller, had four children. His wife died in 1994.
16. Rockefeller lost his wife when he was ___________.
A. at the age of 91    B. in his eighties   C. in his nineties       D. in his 1994
17. We can learn from the passage that ____________.
A. the American rowing team beat the Canadian team in less than 16 seconds in 1924.
B. Rockefeller was the first American medal winner.
C. James Stallman Rockefeller founded the National City Bank and became president.
D. His grandson thought Rockefeller had long life because of a regimented lifestyle.
18. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph but one mean?
A. combined     B. joined     C. took on     D. together with
19. What we can infer from the passage is that __________.
A. James Stallman Rockefeller is a great Olympic medal winner.
B. James Stallman Rockefeller was in good health until he died.
C. James Stallman Rockefeller was very active in American society.
D. James Stallman Rockefeller was the only grandson of William Rockefeller.

At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English.Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said.Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School.Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.
“Why did they do this?”Kate wondered aloud.“I mean,you can't learn if you can't understand the teacher.”
Nadia's voice was a whisper.“I understand English.I will learn.”Nadia's English was perfect.
Kate was perplexed.She couldn't understand why Nadia did not like to speak.Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn't the easiest thing to do.There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn—all at the same time.
“There're a lot of new things to learn,huh?” said Kate.
Nadia nodded rapidly.In a quiet voice she replied，“Many things people say,I do
not understand.I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life,but I do not know what some children are saying.For example,yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying.Isn't a port a place for ships?It made no sense to me.”
“Don't worry,”said Kate.“You'll figure everything out in time.You see,that thin black box was a computer.A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”
Nadia and Kate were quiet after that.They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson.To ?Kate's? surprise,Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.
Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her.Some of the questions were really difficult,and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher.When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly,the whole class clapped their hands.
