13.Nick Campbell sat at the side of the road and wondered what to do next.He looked at the second-hand Harley Davidson he'd bought from a back-street garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before.
For years he had dreams of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he'd finally decided that it was now or never.He'd given up his job,sold his car and set off for the journey of his dreams.He'd been lucky,or so he thought,to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very reasonable price------it had cost him just﹩600.But five kilometers from Atlanta,he had run out of luck.The motorbike had broken down.
He pushed the bike into town and found a garage.The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day.The following morning,to his surprise,the man asked if the bike was for sale."Certainly not,"he replied,paid his bill and hit the road.
When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again.This time Nick thought about selling it and buying something more reliable,but decided to carry on.When the bike was going well,he loved it.
However,in Denver,Colorado the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and offer it for sale.The mechanic told him to come back in the morning.
The next day,to his amazement,the man offered him﹩2,000.Realizing the man must be  softin the head,but clearly not short of money,Nick asked for﹩3,000.The man agreed and they signed the papers.Then the mechanic started laughing.In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he could he said,"That's the worst deal you'll ever make,boy."
He removed the seat.On the underside was the inscription (铭文):
'To Elvis,love James Dean.'

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了Nick Campbell为了实现自己的旅游梦,辞掉了工作,卖掉了车,买了一辆二手摩托去旅行,在摩托三番五次的坏掉后,他最终卖掉了它,却发现这是一辆意义非凡的无价之车的故事.

解答 56.D.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"For years he had dreams of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he'd finally decided that it was now or never"多年了他一直梦想着能骑摩托车穿越美国;由此可知这是一辆摩托车名;故选D.

58.A.细节理解题.根据文章第四段"When the bike was going well,he loved it"当摩托车走的顺利的时候,他是很喜欢它的;可知他不卖掉车的原因是他觉得这车是令人喜爱的;故选A.
59.B.推理判断题,根据文章倒数第二段"The next day,to his amazement,the man offered him﹩2,000"接下来的一天,让他惊讶的是,这个人给了他﹩2000;可知他认为买车的很疯狂有问题;因此词意为疯狂的;故选B.
60.A.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段"He removed the seat.On the underside was the inscription (铭文):'To Elvis,love James Dean."这是一辆有着特意的铭刻文的摩托,因此价值非凡;可知他知道真相后应该是觉得遗憾的;故选A.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

8.The best Mother's Day gift I ever received was a magnolia(木兰)tree.At first,it was a tired little thing,but it was mine,and I know I would treasure it.
    Magnolia trees were my mother's favorite.We had one in the front yard of our house when I was growing up.I can still remember Mom's pleasure upon seeing the buds."Oh,look,"she'd cry out every year,"the magnolia tree is going to bloom(开花)-just in time for my birthday."And sure enough,on April 19,her birthday,the graceful pink-and-white flowers would be all over the branches,announcing the arrival of spring.
    Back then,I didn't find the blooming of a tree to be an event worthy of celebration.A new toy,a pretty dress or a trip to the amusement park-those were exciting.But my mother had a way of appreciating the smallest things as wonders.A baby's smile,or a call from an old friend filled her with happiness.
    On the first Mother's Day following her death six years ago,I wasn't sure how I'd manage.Reminders of my mother's absence seemed to be everywhere.
    That Sunday morning I awoke to a quiet house,with warm sun streaming through the windows.I wondered where my husband had gone with our two daughters,Kira,4,and Sophie,9 months.As I was relaxing in bed,enjoying the peace,Kira suddenly burst through the bedroom door.
"Look outside,Mommy!"she ordered.There,in the yard,David was digging a hole.Next to him was a little tree whose roots were wrapped.
"It's a magnolia tree,"Kira said,though I didn't need to be told.I raised the window and called out to David."Happy Mother's Day!"he said.
    It was.Although I didn't have my mother any longer,I had her tree,and each year since,I've had her enthusiasm(激情).Now when we pull up to our house on a bright spring day,I say to my daughters,"Oh look!The magnolia's about to bloom."And when it does,we admire its beauty and use it as a chance to talk about my mother and her love for flowers.
41.What time does the magnolia bloom according to the passage?A
A.In spring.
B.In summer.
C.During the writer's birthday.
D.Around Mother's Day.
42.What impresses the writer most about her mother wasD.
A.her care of children                                 
B.her love for flowers
C.her devotion to family                            
D.her appreciation of life
43.By saying"I had her tree"(Paragraph 8),the writer most probably implies thatC.
A.the magnolia tree was just her mother's favorite
B.she owned the same kind of tree as her mother once had
C.the same kind of tree could often remind her of her mother
D.the tree could take the place of her mother in her memory
44.The writer's purpose in writing the passage is toD.
A.describe her happy family life                   
B.recall her childhood experiences
C.show how she loves magnolia trees            
D.express her love for her dead mother.

2.Al had been working in this factory only eleven months,but he excelled at everything he did.He looked for new tasks-as an opportunity to gain experience.To him,mistakes were not to be denied but considered an opportunity to learn.He was,by far,the most capable man among his workmates,One day,when he was finishing his work of the day,he heard Jack calling him.
"What are you going to do about…?"asked Jack.
"I'll come off the end rail,"interrupted Al.
"No,I mean about Joe's promotion?"
"I'm going back to school,"Al said.
"Excuse me!"
"I'm going back to school,"Al repeated.
"You mean you're quitting!"
Was it that simple?Is this why there was so much misery in men's lives?"I'm going back to school"was just an excuse,and Al knew it,thought Jack,or Al would not be drunk.It seemed that Al would rather get drunk than fight for his happiness.But why?Jack had no answer.
"Yes,and I'm going back to school.I don't know what else to do.I can't believe that this kind of thing can happen.Maybe if I get more education and a better job,it will be different."
"Do you really believe that?"
"Well,what do you want we to do?"Al was getting angry:"I can't stay here!I can't work where the most incapable get the biggest reward!I can't kill Joe and the boss like…"
Al stopped.They both knew what this meant.
"Like I did?"
Al did not answer.
"Yes,I killed two men with my bare hands; yes,I got punished and lost my job-but I kept my soul!"
Al undertood the hidden statement.Al did not know whether it was his anger,or the beer,or both that made him less cautious in the face.He held his hands firmly.Then be heard Jack:"You've got the right idea,Al.You've got to fight."
Al needed to think.Instead of taking the subway,he walked five miles back home.By the time he entered his bedroom,he climbed into bed.Turned off his mind,and fell asleed.
