解析試題分析：本文敘述了獨唱一人布萊特曼的成長過程及作品。布萊特曼從小成長在一個大家庭里，不喜歡上學(xué)。她的音樂風(fēng)格把歌劇,流行音樂和爵士樂集中在一起。她認(rèn)為工作是她生活的重心，所以她把生兒育女放在一邊。她的歌曲在英國不被喜歡，但在其他地方非常受歡迎。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. 她的音樂風(fēng)格把歌劇,流行音樂和爵士樂集中在一起。故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的After a while not having children becomes the normal可知布萊特曼認(rèn)為不生兒育女是正常的。故選C。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的She first appeared in a West End musical at 11可知她是在11歲是首次出現(xiàn)在倫敦西區(qū)的一個音樂劇上。所以A項說的“5歲出現(xiàn)在倫敦西區(qū)的一個音樂劇上”是不正確的。故選A。
【小題4】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段的In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance,可知她成為主唱之前，應(yīng)是先被Lloyd Webber找到，發(fā)現(xiàn)她的才華，因此spot在此處的意思是找到。故選D。
【小題5】作者意圖題。根據(jù)最后一段的I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the UK, where I now live. I just accept it for what it is.從中可知她已經(jīng)接受了在英國不被喜歡的事實。故選A。

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!
Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
　　Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
　　Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
　　Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.
【小題1】The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ speeding power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original sons performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover. (營業(yè)額)
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.
【小題1】Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?

A．The number of its customers was declining
B．It was in need of financial support
C．Its customers found the food unhealthy
D．Most of its restaurants were closed
【小題2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants
B．Sparrow restaurants
C．other fast-food chains
D．Customers of other fast-food chains
【小題3】For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
A．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow
B．To lean about customers; spending power.
C．To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.
D．To build a good relationship with the public
【小題4】What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?
A．He made Sparrow much more competitive
B．He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.
C．He helped Sparrow take over a company
D．He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees

It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Children were upstairs unpacking , and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby ,and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him .He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.
Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise. Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番紅花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink ---- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.
Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.
He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.
Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.
It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.
Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.
