本文是一篇記敘文。內(nèi)容比較簡(jiǎn)單，貼近學(xué)生的生活實(shí)際。作者就第一次吃面條的經(jīng)歷，突發(fā)奇想，為了自?shī)蕦?xiě)成文章。但為了應(yīng)付老師，權(quán)充未完成的作業(yè)上交。結(jié)果卻給全班同學(xué)帶來(lái)了歡樂(lè)，作者自己也感到快樂(lè)。
36. A。memory意為“記憶”; thought意為“思想, 想法”; knowledge意為“知識(shí), 學(xué)問(wèn)”; experience意為“經(jīng)驗(yàn), 經(jīng)歷”。從全文來(lái)看，作者是記述了記憶中的一件事。因此此題答案選A。
37. A。此題是一個(gè)由關(guān)系副詞when引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是an evening。
38. B。serve意為“供飯菜”。在此處是指晚飯吃面條。cook后面可跟meal, dinner等詞。
39. D。in those days意為“當(dāng)時(shí), 那時(shí)候”。
40. A。根據(jù)句中的and可知是并列句，再根據(jù)前面的Never，可知本題應(yīng)該表示否定的詞，但neither表示“兩者都不”，與上文中的all of us不符，故答案為A。
41. B。根據(jù)上文中提到的Spaghetti was an exotic treat，可知“成年人中也沒(méi)有一個(gè)人對(duì)吃面條在行。”
42. D。根據(jù)上文所講，我們中沒(méi)有人知道吃面條的方法，因此發(fā)生了可笑的“爭(zhēng)論”。
43. D。此題為副詞詞義辨析。nearly意為“密切地”；naturally意為“自然地”；officially意為“正式地；官方地”；socially意為“在社交方面”。根據(jù)句意，他們爭(zhēng)論的是關(guān)于“在社交方面體面的方法”。故答案為D。
44. C。從作者一伙人的可笑的爭(zhēng)論，作者突發(fā)奇想。
45. B。put down意為“記下”，與前一分句的write意思一致。
46. D。與文章最后一段中的happiness相呼應(yīng)。
47. C。上句說(shuō)到，作者寫(xiě)文章是為了自樂(lè)，而不是為了完成老師的作業(yè)。因此，本句是說(shuō)，至于老師，我將寫(xiě)別的內(nèi)容。
48. A。作者筆鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，然而，寫(xiě)完此文時(shí)已是半夜，因此沒(méi)有時(shí)間來(lái)寫(xiě)老師布置的作文了。
49. C。第二天一早，我只好交上了我的作品。
50. B。此題是考查過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)。graded 意為“評(píng)完分?jǐn)?shù)的”。
51. A。loud意為“高聲地, 大聲地”。read out意為“把. . . 讀出”。本句是說(shuō)老師向全班同學(xué)讀了作者的文章。
52. C。老師讀的時(shí)候，先是有人笑了，接著全班同學(xué)都開(kāi)懷大笑。
53. D。本文作者的寫(xiě)作目的是為了娛樂(lè)，但此處盡力部表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。與前文的enjoyment和for my own joy相應(yīng)。
54. B。并列連詞for在此表示原因。
55. D。本段前面兩次出現(xiàn)laugh一詞，因此空也用laugh前后呼應(yīng)。

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band (樂(lè)隊(duì))?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒車), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman's voice came over his  loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
56. The policeman stopped the boys to ______.
A. put them into prison                                    B. give them a ticket

All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.
You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged." as she explained.
My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.
These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有......的傾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.
Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.             B. She became more and more forgetful.
C. She preferred to do everything by herself.      D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.
69. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because _______.
A. she had already finished them                        B. my mother had taken them away
C. she forgot where she had left them                 D. someone in my family was holding them
70. The underlined part to the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.
A. is happy to clean windows                                   B. loves to clean used windows
C. is fond of clean used windows                       D. likes clean windows as my mother did
71. This passage mainly tells us that _______.
A. my mother often made us confused                B. my family members had a poor memory
C. my mother helped us to form a good habit     
D. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother

Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job.
They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries （推理小說(shuō)）, and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from an bank.
The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.
“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”
72．When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.
A. they had to put their plan into practice
B. health was more important than wealth
C. heart trouble was a serious illness
D. they both needed to stop working
73．After Mary got well from her illness they began _____.
A. to study industrial management  
B. to buy and read more mystery books
C. to do market research on book business
D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore
74．How did their bookstore do in the first year?
A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.
B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.
C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
D. They failed though they worked hard.
75．According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is _____.
A. to pay for their children’s education      
B. to get to know more writers
C. to set up more bookstores 
D. to do what they like to do

No fight can end,and no friendshiip can move on,until everyone says these little words:I’m sorry. Sometimes,though,they can be difficult to say.  71  
It is not about winning.
Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser.When you start fighting with a friend,it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong,or by making him be the first to apologize.
In reality,you’ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship,and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.
