Don’t Wait Until Flowers Fade
Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路溝) along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one       blue flower that has always       my eye. I’ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, and the afternoon sun is too warm       it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful      .
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the       window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look       in that bed alongside       wildflowers.
Everyday I drove       the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes       ...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband       gave me a folding shovel(鐵鍬) one year to be used for that      purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was       to see that the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you       too long. You       it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”
A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(腦瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and      , because of age and distance, we haven’t been as      as we all would have liked.
I couldn’t help but see the       between the pretty blue flowers and the     between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some valuable       that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and       them to my wildflower garden

試題分析：作者每次從溝渠邊經(jīng)過時都會看到一種盛開的藍(lán)色小花，每次都想停下來把花移栽到自己家中，但是從沒有真正的行動。后來溝渠被填平了，野花不見了，作者才意識到有些東西錯過了就不會再來，意識到了人生沒有等待。
小題1:。D形容詞辨析。A．甜的；B．有趣的； C．不同的；    D．特別的。根據(jù)下文可知這種花總是引起作者的注意，所以從情理推測這種花是很特別的，故答案選D。
小題2:C。動詞辨析。A．沮喪； B．襲擊，打擊；C．逮住 ；D．迷人。固定短語：catch one’s eye“引起某人注意”，故答案選C。
小題3:A。介詞辨析。A．為了；B．到；C．帶有；D．在上面。根據(jù)前句話it blooms only in the morning hours,可知此處作者指下午的陽光對于這種花來說是太強(qiáng)烈了，句型：it is +adj +for sb +（to do sth） for “對于”，故答案選A。
小題4:B。名詞辨析。A．植物；B．花朵；C．某些；D．野生。作者在上文提到了blue flower，而且下文內(nèi)容也是和這種花有關(guān)，故答案選B。
小題5:D。名詞辨析。A．開；B．主廳；C．前；D．廚房。根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容while doing the dishes可以判斷作者是透過廚房的窗戶可以看到這種花，故答案選D。

小題7:C。形容詞辨析。A．許多；B．各式各樣的；C．其他的；D．多彩的。上文提到這種漂亮的蘭花是在溝渠邊的，由此可知這是一種野花，再由空后wildflowers判斷答案選C。
小題8:B。動詞辨析。A．經(jīng)過；B．過去 ；C．經(jīng)過；D．過去。從動詞drove可知此處指作者開車從溝渠經(jīng)過時，同時也從花的旁邊經(jīng)過，pass是動詞，past是介詞，故答案選B。
小題9:C。動詞辨析。A．毀壞的；B．準(zhǔn)備好的；C．臟的；D．有味的。作者一再的想去把花移栽到家中，但是卻一直沒有行動，此處表示她的理由，所以是作者怕把衣服弄臟，故答案選C。
小題10:D。副詞辨析。A．曾經(jīng)；B．從前；C．從不；D．甚至。根據(jù)語境判斷作者想去做的事情，一直沒有做到，即使丈夫把工具放到她的車上，她都沒有行動，由此可知此處起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用，故答案選D。

2,4,6

 
小題12:B。形容詞辨析。A．惱人的；    B．突然的；C．感興趣的；D．無望的。從空后面的內(nèi)容可知作者經(jīng)常路過的溝渠被填埋了，她一直想移栽的野花也不見了，由此推斷作者會感到難過，答案選B。

小題15:C。副詞辨析。A．不自覺地；B．幸運(yùn)地；C．不幸地；D．自覺地。從后句的原因狀語從句可知作者因?yàn)榫嚯x和年齡的差距和丈夫的姐姐關(guān)系不是很密切，由此判斷答案選C。
小題16:A。形容詞辨析。A．關(guān)，近；B．近的；C．關(guān)著的；D．附近的。根據(jù)語境可知此處指關(guān)系的密切，close“（關(guān)系）密切的，”closely“密切地（觀察，注視）”；closed“關(guān)著的”；near “（距離）近的”，故答案選A。
小題17:。A名詞辨析。A．聯(lián)系；B．不同；C．意思；D．意義。根據(jù)語境可以推斷作者從野花的失去聯(lián)想到了丈夫姐姐的情況，想到了他們之間的某種聯(lián)系，他們共同之處都是在身邊的時候人們沒有去珍惜，故答案選A。
小題18:B。名詞辨析。A．友誼； B．關(guān)系；C．支持；D．親戚。從詞義角度可知此處指的是丈夫的姐姐和作者與丈夫之間的關(guān)系，故答案選B。
小題19:B。名詞辨析。A．樹；B．記憶；C．種類；D．玫瑰。野花沒有了，只剩下作者腦海中的模樣；姐姐也要離去了，也將成為記憶的一部分，所以在此作者抒發(fā)自己的感概：上帝曾經(jīng)給予過我們時間去種植下美好的記憶，為得是將來的回憶，答案選B
小題20:D。動詞辨析。A．挖；B．解救；C．傳送；D．移植。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知作者一直都想把花移栽到自己家中，所以如果再給她機(jī)會看到這種花的時候，她肯定會去那樣做，故答案選D。

It hurries up the driveway and ______ Carrickhoff into the house, where it then sucks down a baby bottle of goat’s milk. When the ______ is gone, Carrickhoff wipes its mouth with a tissue.
While some animal lovers were touched by the obvious ______ Carrickhoff had with the deer, others felt she wasn’t doing the deer any ______. They said she was allowing the deer to get too ______ around humans and it could have been hit by a car, been shot by a hunter, or hurt someone. “You just gave this animal a death ______ — you also have put all your neighbors and their children at ______ of being attacked when this deer matures, and when it doesn’t get ______, it attacks someone,” one reader wrote.
Carrickhoff’s comment was that if she had known the video would get so many ______ she would have changed out of her gym clothes. As for the deer, ______, the update isn’t a happy one.
Little Girl continued coming back for bottles until around January 2011, when it moved onto ______ deer food, Carrickhoff said. “She walked off into the woods and we never saw her again,” she said. “We ______ those woods … we never found anything.”
Looking back, Carrickhoff said getting to know the deer was a special ______ that she wouldn’t regret.
Friends had brought Little Girl to Carrickhoff’s home because the woods in their backyard were protected, and the deer would be ______ from hunters. School children loved visiting the gentle creature, who would ______ them with its soft tongue and didn’t mind being ______.

The deer gave birth to a ______ of its own the following June, and toward the end, it wouldn’t come when it was called. It was becoming ______ again.
She and her husband got so attached to Little Girl that they don’t ever want to take care of another animal. “I just watch the videos and she kind of lives on,” she said.

The first day our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady smiling at me.
She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of children.” “No seriously,” I said. “I want to realize my dream!” she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and everyone liked to listen to this “time machine”.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet and I’ll never forget what she taught us. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20. If I am 87 and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. We have less time to live on. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had dreamed about all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 students attended her funeral honoring the wonderful woman who taught us such an important message.
小題1:Rose made herself known to the author in a _____ manner.
A．seriousB．coldC．crazyD．humorous
小題2:Rose was considered a “time machine” because she _____.
A．a(chǎn)lways followed a strict time schedule
B．was never late for any of her classes
C．had lived a long and rich life
D．a(chǎn)lways appeared in time whenever she was needed
小題3:According to Rose, growing up is different from growing older because _____.
A．growing up doesn’t need as much effort or talent as growing older
B．growing up means young people have enough time to waste
C．there is no need for one to worry about death
D．growing up means one has more chances or time to choose what one likes
小題4:Rose came to study in college at such an old age for the purpose of _____.
A．challenging her old age
B．realizing her long dream about college education
C．meeting someone rich and attractive
D．not having any regrets in her life

It was her giggling(咯咯的笑)that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.

　　It was a hand-drawn    of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.

　　 As I    the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re    of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I    were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too    , too strict…

Carlos had been in New York for five months now, and he detested it. He would never forget the day when the plane landed. His parents had big smiles on their faces as they discussed the wonderful new life they would have in this great city. His older sister and brother looked in wonder and excitement at the buildings. Uncle Miguel and Aunt Esperanza thought of the good jobs they would get. Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold and dirty to him.
They lived in an apartment in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.
He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that he could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.
He began to go the dock(碼頭), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric—a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.
Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it, and you can do it, too.”
