    3．When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you？Not someone you knew，but a total stranger？It's happened to me a few times，but two instances really stand out．
    A few years ago，I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself，completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery．It wasn't my friend's talks that made me suffer．I was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship．I could have burst into tears right there at the table．
    When we picked up the check，the waitress said，"Your meal was already paid for．"My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened．Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye．He was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a beer，and stayed for maybe ten minutes．The waitress said，"Yes，the gentleman in white paid for you．"It felt like an angel was saying，"I see you，honey．It's going to be okay．"
    Just last year，I was running a halfmarathon．With just 1 mile to go，I was out of gas．Runners call it"hitting the wall"．I thought I couldn't move another inch．Out of nowhere，a strang er came up to me and said，"What's your name，sweetie？Jennifer？Okay，Jennifer，let's go!Come on!It's just around the corner!You can do it!"And he ran with me until I picked up my pace．I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day．
    I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need．Do you have any experiences like these？
    1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A
    A．The kindness of strangers                
    B．Valuable friendship
    C．Two special experiences                 
    D．Helping others is worthwhile
    2．According to the passage，the man in whiteC．
    A．was the author's friend              
    B．had a big meal in the restaurant
    C．was generous and kindhearted         
    D．enjoyed making fun of others
    3．The underlined expression in the passage means""D．
    A．being hurt by the wall                
    B．winning the game
    C．taking a deep breath                  
    D．running out of energy
    4．Who is the stranger in the marathon race？D
    A．the writer's friend                     
    B．the winner of the race
    C．an athlete in the race                   
    D．a stranger passing by．

    分析 作者通过她在饭店吃饭时的一次经历及跑马拉松的一次经历，告诉我们，陌生人对她的帮助和鼓励，能驱散她心中的阴霾，令她精神振奋．在她需要帮助的时候，陌生人对她伸出了援手，这令她感觉那些陌生人就是天使．

    解答 1．A．推理推断题．文章第一段便是文章的主题，句中的something unexpectedly nice for you则说明了作者想在下文中谈的内容，由此可知答案选A项．
    2．C．推理判断题．根据文章Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye．He was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a beer，and stayed for maybe ten minutes．The waitress said，"Yes，the gentleman in white paid for you．"可知穿白色衣服的人是一个热心又慷慨的人；故选C．
    3．D．词义猜测题．从前面一句：I was out of gas．及后面一句：I thought I couldn't move another inch．可以推知．作者当时是跑马拉松的，她说她out of gas应该是指她如同一辆汽车没油了，而后面一句说她一步也跑不动了，可以确认此处是说她没有精力再跑下去了．因此选D．
    4．D．推理判断题．根据文章I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day可知马拉松赛跑中的陌生人只是一个路过的陌生人；故选D．

    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．

    In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel．The lighting is at the top of the tunnel，practically at its highest point．There will also be electronic signs at frequent intervals （间隔）．They show traffic conditions ahead，and can be seen clearly by drivers．The wall is made up of four main elements，which include a waterproofing covering and，on the inside of the tunnel，a concrete lining （混凝土衬砌）．

    28．Each of the tunnels under construction isD．
    A．eight kilometers long and twelve metres wide    
    B．eight kilometers long and six metres wide

    11．Dear Ms．Wang，
    I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year．
    I've decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course．I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them．
    So next academic year，Term 1will be like always：sentences to paragraphing．And Term 2will work toward the 5-paragraph essay．The final 3weeks of Term 2will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE．By that time，if the students have done their job correctly，then they should be able to write quite well．

    Well，that's it for now．I'll see you soon．
    Yours，
    Edward Johnson

    18．When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West，you often see a lot of people walking dogs．（61）It is still true that a dog is （62）the most useful（use） and faithful animal in the world．（63）But the reasons why people keep a dog （64）have changed（change）．In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against animal attacks．And later they came （65）to realize（realize） that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master．For example，when people used dogs for hunting，the dogs would not eat （66）whatthey caught without （67）permission（permit）．But now people in the city need not protect （68）themselves（they） against attacks of animals．
    Why do they keep dogs，then？Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery．But the most important reason is for companionship．For （69）achild，a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with．For a young couple，a dog is their child when they have （70）nochildren．For old couples，a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up．So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship．
