Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly that you would rather die than go? Well that’s how I      about joining Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club assisting philanthropies(慈善事业).But now I believe that you     open up your mind to things because eventually you might     end up enjoying it.

“It’s a waste of time”, I said when my mom told I had to join Madcaps, and then when she said I had to      at a homeless shelter I thought this just could not be      .

We got there late, of course, and the security guard led us to the kitchen    we ran into 48 other fellow Madcaps members. Since I’m     so socially awkward(糟糕的) I had met only one person at a pool party, earlier this year. I looked around for her but she was not there. Damn, I was     ! When the man in charge came out and asked for 3 mothers to work outside the      to clean up the plates, my mom just happened to volunteer leaving me to      food with others.

Soon the     families started to walk in and a little girl walked up and pointed to the food I was     I gave her the cold sandwich, she nodded in a form of saying      , and then walked to join her family at the large table.

As she walked away I thought of how much I       I get to go the top schools. I have a great house and I have a warm meal every night. It     that little girl to make me realize how lucky I am. After that moment I had a change of     . Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting, I have       being socially awkward and now have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do      the required 20 hours of philanthropies.

I believe that if you have an     mind about things you can accomplish more and become a better rounded person. I believe sometimes you can make a difference just     doing one thing you don’t want to do .

试题分析:本文通过作者从开始的时候不愿意参加慈善事业,到后来积极参加。告诉我们真正的快乐是在我们放开自己的心灵帮助他人的时候。

1.C 动词辨析。A关心;B开玩笑;C感觉;D怀疑;你是否有过非常不愿意做某事以至于你宁愿死也不愿意做的时候?这就是我要参加Madcaps时候的感觉。本句是指我参加Madcaps的时候也有那种宁愿死也不去做的感觉。故使用feel,因为本句是过去时,使用felt。

2.A 情态动词辨析。A应该;B会;C也许;D能够,可能;但是现在我认为你应该对那些新鲜事物打开你的思维,因为到最后你会喜欢上那些新鲜事物的。Should应该,强调这样是正确的。

3.B 副词辨析。A也;B会,正好(表示强调);C不;D仍然;本句表示的是强调到最后我们也许会喜欢上原来自己不喜欢的事情。

4.D 动词辨析。A报告;B生活;C捐助;D志愿做;根据第一段中的assisting philanthropies(慈善事业)可知做的是慈善事业,故使用volunteer志愿做某事。

5.D 形容词辨析。A更好;B更早;C更容易;D更糟糕;根据文章第一段可知我不愿意做这样的事情,所当妈妈要我这样做的时候,我感觉非常糟糕。使用形容词的比较级与否定词连用表示最高级的意思。

6.A 语法分析。本句是一个定语从句,先行词是the kitchen,后面的定语从句结构很完整,故使用关系副词where引导起这个定语从句,并在句中做状语。

7.D 副词辨析。A突然;B偶尔;C几乎不;D正常地;上下文之间存在着因果关系。因为我在社交方面正常是很糟糕的,所以我的朋友不多,这里我只认识一个人。

8.C 上下文串联。根据I looked around for her but she was not there.可知我认识的那个人也不在这里,所以我是独自一人在那里。故使用alone独自,单独。

9.A 上下文串联。据41空前the security guard led us to the kitchen可知这是我们是在厨房里,那么负责人找三个人到厨房外面帮助洗东西。

10.C 动词辨析。A收拾,整理;B购买;C服务,提供;D烘烤;妈妈志愿出去帮忙,留下我给别人提供食物。这里的serve指我给别人提供服务,给他们提供食物。

11.B 形容词辨析。A可怜的;B无家可归的;C志愿的;D当地的;据下文的描述可知这些人都是一个无家可归的人,他们到这里接受帮助。

12.D 短语辨析。A玩弄;B收拾,整理;C寻找;D拿出;很快那些无家可归的人都进来了, 一个小女孩走了过来指着我拿出的那些食物。本句是指下有人向我要食物吃。

13.C 上下文串联。我给了这个小女孩食物,自然她要向我表示感谢,故使用thanks。

14.A 动词辨析。A拥有;B挣得;C获得;实现;D做;当小女孩走了的时候,我意识到自己上了最好的学校,自己是多么的幸运!拥有的东西是多么的多啊!

15.B 固定句式。It takes sb some sth to do sth做某事花费某人…;本句是指那个小女孩让我意识到自己是多么的幸运啊!引起了作者的感慨,认为做这样的事情是值得的。

16.A 名词辨析。A心灵;B运气;C身份;D品味;从那一刻以后我的想法有了一个很大的改变。我认为我所参加的活动是十分有意义的。

17.C 短语辨析。A信任;B向…学习;C克服;D思考;根据下文have many friends可知我交到了很多的朋友,说明我克服了自己社交不好方面的困难,有了很多朋友,故C正确。

18.A 短语辨析。A不仅仅;超过;B仅仅,只不过;C绝不;D少于;因为自己的想法有了改变,所以我今年做的慈善事业的时间超过了要求的20小时。More than后面接数字的时候,表示超过。

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.

I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.

Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?

My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.

That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.

“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!

“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!

“How much did all of this coat?”

“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”

I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

1.From the first two paragraph we can conclude that the author        

A.had no experience using computers

B.had no idea of what e-commerce is

C.only used the Internet to check e-mail

D.thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time

2.The writer didn’t find out about e-commerce until       

A.he stopped web-surfing

B.he visited a store in his backyard

C.his sister explained the packages she got by mail

D.his friends told him about the online deals they made

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author       .

A.never enjoyed shopping that much

B.loves the big store in her backyard

C.feels she is a true master of the Internet

D.has begun to enjoy online shopping

4.What’s the purpose of the article?

A.To tell the readers how he begins online shopping.

B.To do business on the Internet.

C.To make an online shopping ad.

D.To advise people not to do online shopping

卡上将该项涂黑。

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(不经意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the toxin. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile -- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear!

1. Why did the author smiled to the jailer first?

A. Because he wanted to make friends with the jailer.

B. Because he wanted to give a good impression on the jailer.

C. Because he wanted to share the cigarette with the jailer.

D. The reason was unknown to him and us.

2. Which of the following is the fight order according to the story?

a. I was set free at the edge of town.

b. I wanted to borrow a light from the jailer.

c. I was arrested and quite frightened.

d. I took out the pictures of my family.

e. The jailer took out the pictures of his family.

A. c, b, e, d, a     B. b, c, d, a, e            C. c, b, d, e, a            D. c, d, e, b, a

3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A. Before the author was released, he had stayed there for a long time.

B. Both of the author and the jailer loved their families very much.

C. The author had no chance to see his family again.

D. The jailer was punished by his leader at last.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The use of smile                       B. Life in the jail.

C. The smile                                          D. Love is everywhere.
