解析:
36.D.本题可以从后文提到的几个线索去考虑。The doctors said that 39, if any, could come back to no…, Having heard this, the little girl…从这两句就说明她能听也能说,否则就不能和医生交流;还有her going back to…以及下几个自然段里多次出现move一词,就能知道他是不能走动的。
37.C.本题和36题相辅相成,因为生病所以不能走路甚至更严重的是根本就不能动。本题很容易造成如:make progress或make achievement这样常见的短语考生脱离了语境的联系,片面地选择A或D。
38.B.小姑娘非常坚强,执着,对自己非常有信心,所以才认为自己康复的机会很大。Have/stand a good/fair chance of…大有…的希望。
39。A.虽然(although)小女孩自己很有信心,但医生知道康复的机率是很小的,很少有人能好起来。
40.D.从上下文可以看出小女孩从来就没有气馁,即使是知道了医生说的真相后仍然那么坚强自信,所以选D。C答案的语境不对,这里她的反应不止是吃惊,要表现她的坚强就要用D答案。
41.A.本题还是围绕着“坚强,自信”这个主题展开的,无论医生怎么说,她都坚持相信总有一天她会回到学校。sigh是叹息,表渴望的时候应该是sigh for;fear与题意相差太远而且与主题违背;promise承诺,答应做什么事情,不符合题意。
42.C.本题和39,40题一起,三个题息息相关,在同一个语境中,表达的内涵一样都体现了小女孩坚强自信的良好品质,所以她才认为她的病必好,她能上学。
43.B.根据题意得知,所有能够用的方法都试过了,似乎还没有效果,但小女孩心中的信念仍然那么强烈,她还没有放弃。这里一直是围绕着文章主题展开的。此题易误选D,从文中看出她离康复还有很远的路。
44.D.本题还是围绕文章主题展开。尽管所有方法都用过了,尽管没有效果,但他仍然没有放弃,因此“不可打败的”。
45.D.从下文47题所在的句子中能够看出答案。
46.D.从文章的主题来分析小女孩应该是从来不放弃任何一个可能的机会的,所以他才会“忠实的”做着医生交给她的mental exercise.本题也要从文章的主题出发,他康复正是由于她的韧力才得以出现奇迹,所以光小心(carefully)还不够表达文章所要表达的主题。
47.A.从文中可以看出是当他正在做的时候才感觉的,而as引导的时间状语从句就是“一边…一边”。
48.B.从前面37题可以知道她原来是不能动的,经过很长时间的mental exercise,在地震的作用下,她以为是自己是动了的。而且后文中有:look, what I’m doing …,可以看出选B。
49。C.从文中look, what I’m doing …,可以看出她因为激动所以喊叫出来。
50.A.从后文知道:床在动是因为发生了地震,因此很容易判断是所有人都很惊慌。
51.C.这里指发生了地震他们逃跑的目的是为了安全。
52.B.根据题意可以得知因为发生了地震,在抖动中,设备,仪器应该是掉下来。
53.A.从文中可以看出,所有人都知道是地震引发了move,但为了鼓励她,不至于打消他的积极性,不能告诉她实情的真相,故选A. show是教,出示等含义。
54.C.从后句中的never doubted可知答案。
55.C.最后一句是一个很幽默的句子,因为在地震中:the earth shake,所以作者幽默地把地震造成的震动当作是小女孩造成的,所以用shake.

I am a psychologist. I first met Timothy, a quiet, overweight eleven-year-old boy, when his mother brought him to me to discuss his declining grades. A few minutes with Timothy were enough to confirm that his self-esteem(自尊) and general happiness were falling right along with them. I asked about Timothy’s typical day. He awoke every morning at six thirty so he could reach his school by eight and arrived home around four thirty each afternoon. He then had a quick snack, followed by either a piano lesson or a lesson with his math tutor. He finished dinner at 7 pm, and then he sat down to do homework for two to three hours. Quickly doing the math in my head, I found that Timothy spent an average of thirteen hours a day at a writing desk.
What if Timothy spent thirteen hours a day at a sewing machine instead of a desk? We would immediately be shocked, because that would be called children being horribly mistreated. Timothy was far from being mistreated, but the mountain of homework he faced daily resulted in a similar consequence —he was being robbed of his childhood. In fact, Timothy had no time to do anything he truly enjoyed, such as playing video games, watching movies, or playing board games with his friends.
Play, however, is a crucial part of healthy child development. It affects children’s creativity, their social skills, and even their brain development. The absence of play, physical exercise, and freefrom social interaction takes a serious toll on many children. It can also cause significant health problems like childhood obesity, sleep problems and depression.
Experts in the field recommend the minutes children spend on their homework should be no more than ten times the number of their grade level. As a fifthgrader, Timothy should have no more than fifty minutes a day of homework (instead of three times that amount). Having an extra two hours an evening to play, relax, or see a friend would soundly benefit any child’s life quality.
1.What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph probably refer to?
A. Timothy’s parents. B. Timothy’s grades.
C. Psychologists. D. The students.
2.What did the writer think of Timothy after learning about his typical day?
A. Timothy was very hardworking.
B. Timothy was being mistreated.
C. Timothy had a heavy burden.
D. Timothy was enjoying his childhood.
3.Which of the following statements best describes the writer’s opinion?
A. Children should be allowed enough time to play.
B. Playing board games works better than playing video games.
C. The more they play, the more creative children will become.
D. The depression caused by homework makes children unwilling to play.
4.According to the passage, how long should a thirdgrader spend a day doing homework?
A. About ten minutes.
B. No more than twenty minutes.
C. No more than thirty minutes.
D. About fifty minutes.

Today, traditional opinions about men still exist. A man has to be strong, brave, sports loving and manly. Anything less would not be considered manly. Sports such as football, basketball and boxing all tend (往往是) to be men’s sports. However, the dance of ballet is considered feminine because it requires nice movements. This tradition is shown in the movie, Billy Elliot.
Billy Elliot is a movie that protests against this traditional view of men. Billy Elliot is an eleven-year-old boy that has a natural talent for ballet dancing, but his father will not allow it. Billy’s father wants him to take up boxing and become stronger, but Billy goes against his father’s wishes and takes up ballet dancing. This difference of opinion makes Billy sad. What’s more, his friends also laugh at him.
After saving enough money, his father sends Billy to a weekly boxing course; however, Billy doesn’t enjoy boxing because he always loses in matches and is often hurt. His ballet teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson thinks that men or women should not be judged by the activities they like to do, so she tells Billy’s father that although he wants his son to make a good living, he should let his son do what he loves to do because he has a talent for it. When his father finally realizes the truth, Billy is surprised. In the end, with the help of his father, brother and all the people around him, Billy goes to the Royal Ballet Academy in London and becomes a very successful ballet dancer.
1.The underlined word “feminine” in the first paragraph most probably means ______
A.of men |
B.of children |

2.Why is Billy laughed at by other children?

A.His teacher encourages him to take up ballet dancing. |
B.He does well in ballet dancing and boxing. |
C.He does what his father wants him to do. |
D.He has never taken up any men’s sports. |
4.From Billy’s story, we can see that _______.
