13.Heidi looked across the road and saw three tired-looking people.One was older,in his 50s,about Dad's age.The others were his son and daughter-in-law.It had clearly been a long,hot day for them.To add to this,Heidi realized that they had discovered that the battery had been stolen from their car.They lived in Avondale,which was 25to 35miles away.
Heidi went to see if she could help them or get them some help.She had the impression that they didn't have anyone else they could call.It seemed as if there was nothing she could do,so she got back into her car and started for home.
On the way,she couldn't stop thinking how terrible it must be for these folks who were essentially stranded.So she went into Pep Boys,an auto supply store.She called over one of the clerks and asked how much a battery for a Toyota Celica cost.
The clerk asked:"What year?"Heidi replied:"Does it matter?"To which he replied that the year of the car mattered because the battery needed to fit the mounting(装备).So she guessed 1980-thinking,if it's within a year or two,the battery won't be that different.She paid about$40 for the battery,and because she didn't have another to trade in,there was an additional environmental fee of$10.
She took it to the folks who were,of course,still there.She told them that she just couldn't go home knowing that they had no way home.They were so surprised.Anyone would have been.The older gentleman told her that he had prayed for help.I guess Heidi was the answer to that prayer,he said.
Heidi had spent her whole day's earnings on the battery.When she told me her story,I asked:"Was it worth the day's work?"You know what she said,don't you?"Oh,yes."

51.The underlined word"stranded"in Paragraph 3probably meansB.
A.hurt         B.having no way out      C.disappointed       D.having no plan
52.What did Heidi do when she saw they were in trouble?D
A.She decided to stay with them.
B.She called Pep Boys for help.
C.She offered to drive them home.
D.She bought a new battery for them.
53.How much did Heidi earn a day?A
A.$50                B.$40              C.$30              D.$10.

分析 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Heidi在路上看到了几个疲惫的人,他们车上的电池被偷了,他们住的地方离这里有25到35里远.Heidi去看是否能帮到什么,却发现好像自己不能帮什么,但她回家路上,又忍不住去想,于是用自己差不多一天的工资买了电池帮助他们.

解答 51.答案:B.词义猜测题.句意:在路上,她忍不住想对那些没有出路的人有多么糟糕.根据句意及上下文内容可推测出,stranded意为"没有出路".故选B.
52.答案:D.细节理解题.根据"So she went into Pep Boys,an auto supply store.She called over one of the clerks and asked how much a battery for a Toyota Celica cost"及"She took it to the folks who were"可知,Heidi为他们买了新电池.故选D.
53.答案:A.推理判断题.根据"She paid about$40 for the battery,and because she didn't have another to trade in,there was an additional environmental fee of$10"可知,她买完电池还剩10美元.故她一天挣40+10=50美元.故选A.

点评 本文是一篇记叙文,题目涉及词义猜测题,细节理解题,推理判断题,做题时应结合文章上下文内容并根据所给选项的含义进行分析,从而得出正确答案.切记胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

4.Long after the 1998World Cup was won,disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判)decisions that denied victory to their team.A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.
The researcher organized an experimental tournament(锦标赛)involving four youth teams.Each match lasted an hour,divided into three periods of 20minutes during which different referees were in charge.
Observers noted down the referees'errors,of which there were 61over the tournament.Converted to a standard match of 90minutes,each referee made almost 23mistakes,a remarkably high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail.Surprisingly,he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident.When the officials got it right,they were,on average,17meters away from the action.The average distance in the case of errors was 12meters.The research shows the optimum(最佳的)distance is about 20meters.
There also seemed to be an optimum speed.Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2meters per second.The average speed for errors was 4meters per second.
If FIFA,football's international ruling body,wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup,it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance,rather than rushing to keep up with the ball,the researcher argues.
He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45may be misguided.If keeping up with the action is not so important,their physical condition is less critical.

51.The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant toB.
A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998World Cup
B.analyze the causes of errors made by football referees
C.set a standard for football refereeing
D.reexamine the rules for football refereeing
52.The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches wasC.
A.slightly above average
B.higher than in the 1998World Cup
C.quite unexpected
D.as high as in a standard match
53.The findings of the experiment show thatA.
A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
B.the farther the referee is from the incident,the fewer the errors
C.the more slowly the referee runs,the more likely will errors occur
D.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
54.The word"officials"(Line 3,Para.4)most probably refers toC.
A.the researchers involved in the experiment
B.the inspectors of the football tournament
C.the referees of the football tournament
D.the observers at the site of the experiment
55.What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?B
A.The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
C.A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.

8.Bob was not a brilliant man.He swept floors for a living.Although he was the butt(笑柄) of many jokes,he taught me about the most basic and important quality of a‘real man':love and respect for women,honor,kindness and gentleness.
Bob embraced(拥抱)life in unexpected,simple ways and he always filled the emptiness in my life.He loved me as his very own grandchild.
I will never forget my graduation from high school.That was a day of unavoidable hopelessness for me.My father,a heavy drinker,began his celebration early in the day.By the time we gathered in the school hall,he had congratulated himself through nearly a case of beer.
I tried not to be noticed within a sea of faces.I wanted no one to guess whose kid I was.I wanted to run away.But I was given away by my last name,which began with the letter‘A',so I was the first graduate on the first row; being a red-head gave me even more attention,and the speaker,who had never met me,decided to use me as his audio-visual aid.
"This bright young lady,with the bright red hair."His voice rolled clearly through the hall,as I sank lower in my seat.Over to my left,at the door,was a seating arrangement for the"elderly".And there sat Bob and Molly with all of the grandparents.My heart ached when I looked at them,wishing that I were their grandchild.
As the speaker continued with his speech,he excitedly introduced"all the wonderful people,who have made this day possible!"
"All of the graduates,please,stand."I slipped lower in my seat,hoping to remain unseen.
"Now,all the parents,please stand."Dear Lord,I thought,I'm sure my father couldn't stand,even if he wanted to.
"Now the grandparents."I closed my eyes,fearing the hopelessness of my situation.I had no grandparent to stand proudly for me.I finally opened my eyes,and there they were,Bob and Molly,standing proudly with all the other grandparents.Bob looked over at me,his eyes shining like diamonds.
"I'm so proud of you,"he smiled as he mouthed the words that I will never forget.I knew that he stood there,not out of duty,but because of his love for me!

43.According to the passage,we know that BobD.
A.lived an empty life               B.was a heavy drinker
C.often laughed at others           D.was a floor cleaner

B.she felt very ashamed of his father's behavior
C.she would be laughed at by other graduates
D.she had bright red hair and caught so much attention

18.Apple's logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标) around the world.But what's the story about the Apple logo?The image of the apple is obvious,because that's the name of the company.What about the bite?The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing.He was the father of computer science.He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码).However,after the war,he was put into
prison,because of his beliefs.He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.
However,Rob Janoff,who designed the famous Apple logo,said,"It's not the truth,but
only a legend.The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple.I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry.When I go to markets to buy apples,I always mistake apples for cherries.It really has nothing to do with the scientist."
Are you kidding?An apple is much bigger than a cherry.It's very easy to tell.But if you use an apple to design a logo,some people may mistake it for a cherry.

51.Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually inA.
A.shape    B.size    C.colour   D.weight
52.According to the passage,Alan TuringA.

C.was put into prison during the war       D.was the father of a computer company
53.What's the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?A
A.To introduce its designer.                B.To tell us a legend about it.
C.To try to find the truth of it.           D.To explain its market research.
