Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a 36 life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.
Then something 37 happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney stones (肾结石), which had to be 38 surgically as soon as possible. But it was not as 39 as that! Our friend could not 40 the operation, which put him into deep 41 . I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either. 42 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other 43 and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.
Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day 44 I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been 45 because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?
All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be 46 to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed. I tried 47 my things but no one wanted them. Then I had the idea of talking to my 48 . I asked him if I could have my next two months’ salary in advance—without even thinking on how I would 49 for two months with no money. He was surprised and asked me the reason. I told him that I had a friend who was really in need. 50 I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any 51 !
Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a 52 !”
Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the 53 time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an) 54 friend and I think it is well worth the 55 .

【解析】
试题分析:文章通过通过叙述作者想方设法帮助一个得了肾结石的朋友付医药费进行手术的故事,得出结论:友谊不仅存在于快乐时刻也体现在最艰难的时光。
1.上下文串联。从下文转折词but后面的内容可知作者开头过的是一种孤独的生活.private私人的;lonely孤独的 ;colorful多彩的;normal正常的。
2.上下文串联。上文提到作者遇到了一群很好的朋友,空后提到一位朋友得了肾结石,因此是出乎意料的事。Strange奇怪的; wrong错误的;unexpected意想不到的;unfair不公平的。
3.根据常识,kidney stones是要通过手术进行摘除,故填remove。 Remove去掉,消除;reduce减少;examine检查lift举起,抬起。
4.上下文串联。肾结石要通过手术摘除却没有钱,因此是不想象那么简单。Terrible可怕的;painful痛苦的;simple简单的;special特别的,专门的。
5.上下文串联。 根据下文because I didn’t have any money either可以推断出我的朋友负担不起手术费用,故用afford。Afford (to do) sth 负担得起(做)某事(的费用)。Stand忍受; consider考虑;perform表演。
6.近义词复现。从下文told him not to worry中worry一词,近义词复现,可以确定答案anxiety焦急,焦虑。confusion 困惑,迷惑embarrassment尴尬dissatisfaction不满意,均不符合题意。
7.上下文串联。根据上文I didn’t have any money either及 下文I never lost hope,可确定是转折关系,故填however。 Thus因此,所以Otherwise否则,要不然Therefore因此。
8.上文提到我没有钱,但我没有失去希望,故他决定尝试其他选择。Reasons原因;options选择,选择权;symptoms症状;expectations期望,期待。
9.上下文串联。前面提到作者说他会付钱,但从后文内容可知作者并没有钱,所以此处表达虚拟“好像我有钱(付医药费)。even if即使;as if好像 ;so that为了,以便; in case以防,万一。
10.上下文串联。根据空后because the surgeon agreed to do it说明我的话语是“令人信服的,有说服力的”。 Encouraging鼓舞人心的; annoying令人恼怒的;astonishing令人吃惊的;convincing令人信服的
11.上下文串联。从下文I tried to borrow money but failed可以推断:应付这种处境是具有挑战性的。disturbing引起烦恼的;令人不安的amazing令人吃惊的scaring令人惊恐的,均不合题意。
12.上下文串联。上文提到我借钱借不到,下文提到but no one wanted them,说明是作者想卖东西但没有人要。Save节约; handle处理,应付;donate捐赠;sell卖(东西)。
13.上下文串联。下文中提到要求预支下两个月薪水,可推断出是老板。Colleague同事;relative亲戚 ;boss老板surgeon外科医生。
14.上下文串联。从下文中for two months with no money,没有钱却要度过两个月,难以“生存”,故应填survive。Adapt适应,改编continue继续;wander想知道
15.上下文串联。从下文and then he gave my two months’ salary可知老板提前给我预支两个月的薪水,说明是很幸运的事,故应该填luckily。Slightly轻微的,略微的Constantly不断地,时常地;时刻;Occasionally偶尔,间或,均不符合题意。
16.上下文串联及固定搭配。Without hesitation毫不犹豫。从上文中 I convinced him too可以推断老板是毫不犹豫的给我预支钱,符合题意。analysis分析dignity高贵,尊贵;hesitation犹豫;remark评论
17.上下文串联。从上文可知我为朋友垫付了医药费,朋友激动得不知如何感激我,因此,只能以一个拥抱以表达对我的感激之情。Favor 恩惠,偏袒;hug 拥抱;promise诺言,许诺;reply回复,回答。
18.上下文串联。句子使用了连接词not only...but...,与上文的happy moment相对应,故应填tough time苦难时光。句意为:在你的生活中,友谊不仅存在于快乐时刻也体现在最艰难的时光。 Best最好的;longest最长的;strangest最奇怪的;toughest最艰难的,最艰苦的。
19. 上下文串联。空前提到a good thing,说明我支持了朋友,故选择supportive支持的,拥护的,赞助的sensitive敏感的aggressive侵略的,侵犯的,攻势的attentive注意的;周到的,殷勤的;

Has Tiger Mom gone soft? One year after the release of her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy (恶名) affected her life, her family and her parenting.
“I have changed a lot,” she told the Huffington Post. “In October, we had 30 kids at our house! We have hosted parties with lots of food and music.”
Last January, the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt (节选) from Chua’s book with the headline “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”. In the excerpt, Chua described how her daughters were never allowed to have sleepovers (在外过夜的儿童聚会), appear in school plays, or earn any grade lower than an A. Chua, an author and professor at Yale Law School, spent much of 2011 on the defensive. In fact, many of her interviews seemed to lend fuel to her critics’ fire.
Now, with the book out in paperback, she said, “I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back.”
For those who still read Battle Hymn as an advice guide, Chua argues that so-called tiger parenting should be employed mainly during a child’s early years, ideally between the ages of 5 and 12. These “super-strict parenting tactics” are not meant for all ages. Remaining strict after middle school makes you a helicopter parent, according to Chua. And she is quick to point out how different that is from being a tiger mom.
“By the time kids get to high school, helicopter parents are hiring all these tutors, carrying their kids’ sports bags. I never checked older daughter Sophia’s papers because I knew she knew how to sit down and focus,” Chua said.
As for younger daughter Lulu, 15, the rebel for whom the book was written, Chua has really backed off. Instead of forcing Lulu to practise violin for hours a day—the source of their biggest fights, Chua “let her give that up”. “My compromise (妥协) is that I’m going to still be as strict academically, but in exchange she has a lot of social freedom. Lulu has had four sleepovers in the last two months!” Chua said. Chua predicts she’ll only get more easygoing with age.
【小题1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

Has Tiger Mom gone soft? One year after the release of her book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy(恶名)affected her life, her family and her parenting.

Now, with the book out in paperback(简装),she said, "I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back." Many of the scenes she described in the book are a far cry from the child-raising methods she advocates.

I paid a visit to Cambridge last January. Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.
The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived,which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting,one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.
Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year.
Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town;it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops,pubs,and supermarkets,but most of it is university-colleges,departments,libraries,clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops,cafes,banks and churches,making these as well part of the university.
With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break,better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions,carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.
1.The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________
A. bad weather B. unexpected stops of the bus
C. one passenger D. an accident on the way
2.Why is Cambridge called a university town?
A. It has 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
B. There are over thirty colleges in the town.
C. All the students and staff live in the town.
D. The university and town are fully combined.
3.It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.
A. boats B. cars C. bicycles D. buses
