Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really __1__your feeling?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special    2   that I really wanted but you never gave it to me.”
The    3  was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I   4    , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his   5   was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  6   because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and  7       in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he  8    all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were  9   . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you   10  me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t . I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt  11   . I hugged Keith and asked him to  12    me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his  13   , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  14   thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too  15    and didn’t keep it as their father.

小题1:C
小题1:A

小题1:B根据文章第一句话中的“I sensed that something was wrong between Keith,one of my two sons,and me”可知,B项符合语境,即“我做了什么伤害你感情的事情了吗?”。第八段中的“I’d hurt his feelings,too”也是线索提示。
小题1:D根据第八段最后一句中的“you promised us a special toy”可知。
小题1:D fact表示“事实”,即“实际情况是,我完全忘记了这件事”。其他选项不合题意:challenge表示“挑战”;message表示“信息”;idea表示“想法”。
小题1:C根据上下文可知,我是继续问Keith,我还做错过什么事情。
小题1:B即对我上面问他的问题的回答,第八段中“Kevin answered as immediately as...”有提示。
小题1:A根据这句话最后的“because Kate,my little sister,was going to be born”可知,A项符合语境:Kate要出生了,当然应该是去医院。第五段中“you came back from the hospital”也有提示。
小题1:C set off意思是“出发,动身”,即动身去医院。其他几个词组不合语境。settle down意思是“安顿”;go on意思是“继续”;get up意思是“站起,起来”。
小题1:D他竟然记得(remembered)所有的细节。
小题1:A从下文可知,当“我”从医院回到家发现,箱子被打开了,里面的东西扔了一地,因此很生气(angry)。故A项符合语境。
小题1: B praise意思是“赞扬”;punish意思是“惩罚”;help意思是“帮助”;educate意思是“教育”。根据上文内容可知,只有B项符合语境。
小题1: A我感觉很难受。因此terrible符合语境。
小题1:D forgive表示“原谅,谅解”。即请孩子谅解我对他的伤害(对他的错误惩罚)。
小题1:B由文首的two sons可知应选B。Kevin的回答和他兄弟的回答一样快。
小题1:C重要的(important)不是玩具。
小题1:A lightly意思是“轻率地”。即“我以前很轻率地对孩子作出承诺,但却没有像他们的母亲那样信守诺言”。

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago.Times have changed.And so too has the Canadian workforce.Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change.For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair.
Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about.For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the way for workers who become disabled on the job.By doing so, any given group of people? formerly discriminated against-now has access to better employment opportunities.
The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society.However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(实行配额). Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them
For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees-Canada’s largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women.At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers.
A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers (8% ) and those who are studying to become engineers (25% ).A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.
Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities.If aboriginal people (土著居民) , for example, can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.
Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.
小题1:The passage is mainly about how to ____.
A.modernize equipment for the disabled at work
B.achieve equality of employment opportunities
C.protect women’s rights in employment
D.complete a job training program
小题2:The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____.
A.barriersB.measuresC.goalsD.timetables
小题3:The example of women shows that ____.
A.only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted
B.13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers
C.policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach
D.the quota of women for employment should be raised
小题4:The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 probably means _
A.put forwardB.run intoC.find outD.deal with

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A--F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
(考生注意答题卡上的题号要与本题填涂时一致,从76题涂卡)
A. TV’s Influence on Children’s Life
B. Argument Against Violence on TV
C. TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities
D. The Importance of Violence in Real Life
E. Attractions of Violence on TV
F.  TV’s Power
小题1:_________
Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the new community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually know something about medicine
小题2:_________
TV isolates people in their spare time. People spend more time watching music videos but less time making music with each other. People in small town now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church circles or book clubs. When company comes, the kids are sent to the TV room with videos.
小题3:_________
Parent are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the television, the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with a grandfather.
小题4:_________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise, work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detective and murderers than exist in the real world. A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence captures viewers’ attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
小题5:_________
Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and song. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequency and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increase their fear levels about potential violence.

Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof. For the final year student on the university women’s tennis team, the road to Berkeley, University of California was met with poor advice and misinformation from her home country and twounsuccessful stops along the way that fell short of expectations.
Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛).. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. While most who grow up in the U.S. are naturally accustomed to the American tradition of collegiate (大学的) sports, such a custom is not as familiar in a country like Poland. “There’s no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic (学术的) study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer (转学), Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”
小题1:What does “two unsuccessful stops” (Paragraph 1) refer to?
A.Poland and the U.S.
B.Baylor and Berkeley.
C.The community college and Baylor.
D.The ITF Junior division and the Berkeley tennis team.
小题2:Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America?
A.Poland had no culture of sports.
B.Berkeley had always been her dream university.
C.She wanted to play tennis and have a good education.
D.She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.
小题3: Why did she leave Baylor?
A.The level of tennis there was not high.
B.It was not suitable for international students.
C.She couldn’t get along with her friends there.
D.She was not satisfied with the education level there.
小题4: What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How Siwosz left Poland.
B.How Siwosz realized her dream.
C.How Siwosz became a top tennis player.
D.How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.

Dear Alice,
You really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time. Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things . You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(谨慎的) in the first term.
It’s also possible that the others are unkind. If this is so, you have to find out why you are the class “outsider”.
In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “ buy” friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you ? They may have felt hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you if so. Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative answer, at least you’ll know what to do.
Yours truly,
Shelia
小题1:From the letter we know that Alice was very _______.
A.luckyB.unkindC.cleverD.unhappy
