8.A Welcome Gift
Dario and his mother loved their new apartment.The living room was large enough for their piano.That night,the two of them(36)sat side by side at the piano.They played jazz music to celebrate their new home.The loud(37)music filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning,(38)however,their happiness disappeared.Someone had left a (39)note under their door during the night.One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano.Dario's mother asked the building superintendent(管理员) if he knew anything about it.But he said that they were all (40)nice people and he couldn't imagine any of them had done that.Later that morning,Dario suggested that they write a letter to their(41)neighbors and apologize for their playing.
"Maybe we could go and(42)visit everyone in person."his mother said.
"What if we invited them to come here for a (43)party instead?Dario asked.
They both loved the(44)idea.Over the next few days,they sent out invitations and prepared desserts(45)for their guests.They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩带) and party lights.
Finally,the day of the party(46)arrived.Some guests brought presents.Others brought flowers.Some even brought desserts to(47)share.One woman,Mrs.Gilbert,(48)presented Dario's mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.
"I heard you playing the other night,"she said."The sounds woke me out of bed.I (49)worried    that you might play like this every night.So I wrote a short note.I hope you don't think I disliked the playing."
Dario's mother smiled at Mrs.Gilbert."I think maybe we(50)owe you an apology."she said."I didn't(51)realize how late it was when we were playing.Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.
"You play,you play!"Mrs.Gilbert said."I like what you play!Just not so loud at night."She pointed to the book she had given them."These songs are not such(52)loud music."
"These songs are beautiful music."Dario's mother said."We will be (53)happy to play them in the evening."
"And we won't play so loud or late!"Dario said.He was already looking forward to(54)practicing   the new music.More than that,however,he was happy to see the big smile on his mother's face.It gave him a feeling of(55)warmth and made him feel that they were home at last.

分析 本文是记叙文,文章讲述了一对母子搬入新家,非常高兴,在深夜弹起钢琴庆祝,却打扰了周围邻居.邻居留言抱怨投诉,母子积极回应,为邻居们办了一场派对来缓和邻里关系,并得到邻居们的谅解.文章立意积极向上,体现社会主义核心价值观:和谐.作者旨在说明邻居间引起误会后要想办法消除误会、化解矛盾,邻里之间要谐相处.

解答 36.A   考查动词辨析.根据空后的"side by side at the piano"可知,他们应该是坐在钢琴旁边弹奏.故选A.
37.C    考查名词辨析.根据上文中的"They played jazz music"可知,这里应该是吵闹的音乐(music)充满了整个房间.故选C.
38.B     考查副词辨析.根据上文中的"made them feel very happy"以及空后的"their happiness disappeared"可知,此处应为转折关系.故选B.
39.A     考查名词辨析.根据下文中的"One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano"可知,这里指一张便条.故选A.
40.D     考查形容词辨析.根据下文中的"he couldn't imagine any of them had done that"可知,主人公想向管理员咨询,哪一位邻居可能是那位留言的抱怨者,可管理者也并不能指出,大家通常都是通情达理的.故选D.
41.A      考查名词辨析.根据上文一位邻居留便条抱怨可知,他们应该是给邻居们写信致歉.故选A.
42.D      考查动词辨析.根据"we could go"和"in person"可知,这里是表示"拜访每一个人".故选D.
43.A      考查名词辨析.此题为线索题且为原词复现,根据下文中的"party lights"和"the day of the party"可知,他们是想举办一个聚会.故选A.
44.B      考查名词辨析.此题可排除得知,母子打算办派对,这是一个打算,一个主意,而不是经历、表演表现或行为.故选B.
45.C     考查介词辨析"prepare sb for sth"是固定搭配,意为"为某人准备某物"这里指母子办派对,为招待客人们准备了甜点.故选C.
46.B     考查动词辨析.根据上文中的"Some guests brought presents"可知,他们想举办的聚会,这一天终于到来了.故选B.
47.C     考查动词辨析.根据语境,因为是参加聚会,所以一些邻居带了甜点来分享.故选C.
48.B     考查动词辨析.A项 treat"招待,治疗";B项present"呈现";C项 help"帮助";D项 serve"为…服务".这道题有难度,根据本句话的意思:Mrs.Gilbert送给了Dario的妈妈一本音乐书,能表达出"送"这个动作的,就是present"呈现…,给…".故选B.
49.D     考查动词辨析.根据下文中的"You might play like this every night"可知,这里应该是Mrs.Gilbert当时很担心每天晚上都会这么吵.故选D.
50.D     考查动词辨析."owe sb sth"意为"感激,欠某人…".这个空可以看作是固定搭配,"owe sb.an apology"意为"应该向某人道歉".故选D.
51.A     考查动词辨析.根据上下文语境可知,这里表示Dario的妈妈道歉说:我也没意识到当时那么晚了我们还在弹钢琴.故选A.
52.D     考查形容词辨析.根据上一句:I like what you play!Just not so loud at night.说明Mrs.Gilbert 不喜欢那么吵的音乐,因此她送了Dario的妈妈一本比较安静的音乐书,也就是不那么吵的音乐(not such loud music).故选D.
53.C      考查形容词辨析.根据上文:These songs are beautiful music,说明Dario的妈妈很喜欢这些音乐,所以we will be happy to play them.故选C.
54.B      考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,因为是新音乐,所以Dario很期盼练习音乐.故选B.
55.  C      考查名词辨析.根据下文中的"made him feel that they were home at last"可知,他们融入了新的生活,应该有温暖的感觉.故选C.

In the picture,we can see a boy in worn clothes,sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it.A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.
This is a well-known story from ancient Chinese idiom.The boy,being poor,couldn't afford even a candle,so he bored a hole in the wall to"steal"light from his neighbor‘s house to read at night.The moral of the story is to spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course,things are totally different today.It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts.Hard work pays off.We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get prepared for the future..

13.A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.
Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago.I wanted to save up money and buy my own car,so I applied everywhere I could that summer.The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself,this is going to be easy.Within four hours of my first shift (轮班),I had angry customers who complained how slow I was.I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere,and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear"Mike,there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one."I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic.The manager expected a clean environment and particularly,fast service with a friendly smile.
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations.I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am.Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees.They chat with us workers and joke around.Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.
From my first job at the restaurant,I learned teamwork and devotion.I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get.I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.

13.Rae Armantrout,who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades,has won the 2010Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book,"Versed".
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings,as compared to even the National Book Critics Award,which I was also surprised and delighted to win,"said Armantrout.
"For a long time,my writing has been just below the media radar,and to have this kind of attention,suddenly,with my 10th book,is really surprising."
  Armantrout,a native Californian,received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley,where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov,and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of Language Poets,a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

"This book has gotten more attention,"Armantrout said,"but I don't feel as if it's better."
  The first half of"Versed"focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq.The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
  Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not."Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,"said Seth Lerer,head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
"Versed",published by the Wesleyan University Press,did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works,which is about 2,700copies.The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

66.According to Rae Armantrout,B.
A.her 10th book is much better
B.her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected

D.She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.
68.What can we learn about"Versed"?D

C.It is a book published two decades ago.

Good afternoon,everyone.
Welcome to our school!High school students are faced with a choice between art and science.It was not an easy choice for me to make.After careful consideration,though,I decided on science as my main subject of study.
First,science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China.Second,the science major can help me achieve my childhood's dream of becoming a scientist.Third,my parents wish me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science student.Last but not least,my physics teacher is my role model whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision.
It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice.

13.The summer before I went off to college,Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board (烫衣板)and said,"Pay attention:I'm going to teach you to iron."
Mom clearly explained her(36)reasonsfor this lesson.I was going to be(37)independentand needed to learn this vital skill.Also,I would be meeting new people,and properly ironed clothes would help me make a good(38)impression.
"Learn to iron a shirt,"com Mom said,"and you can iron anything."

As for technique,Mom(43)taughtme to begin with the flat spaces outward,always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皱的)parts.Collars had to be done right.Mom said they were close to your face,where everyone would(44)seethem.
Over the years,I've learned to iron shirts skillfully,which gives me a sense of(45)prideWhatever failures I suffer in my life,an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something.(46)Besides,through ironing I've learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems."(47)Dealwithwrinkles one at a time,"as Mom might have said,"and before long everything will get ironed out."
