15.In the United States,there were 222people (61)reported (report) to be billionaires (亿万富翁) in 2003.The (62)richest (rich) of these is Bill Gates,worth (63)atleast﹩41billion,who made his money (64)bystarting the company Microsoft.Mr.Gates was only 21years old(65)whenhe first helped to set up the company in 1976.He was a billionaire by the time he was 31.
(66)However,there are still some other people who have made lots of money at even (67)younger (young) ages.Other young people who have struck it rich include Jackie Coogan and Shirley Temple.(68)Bothof these child actors made over a million dollars (69)acting (act) in movies before they were 14.But(70)theyoungest billionaire is Albert von Thurn und Taxis of Germany,who,in 2001,inherited (继承) a billion dollars when he turned 18!

分析 本文是一篇记叙文.据报道,在2003年,美国有222个亿万富翁.其中最富有的就是开微软公司的比尔盖茨.他在很年轻的时候就是一个亿万富翁.但是,还有比他更年轻的富翁.比如,演电影的Jackie Coogan和Shirley Temple,都是在14岁之前就有百万身家.当然,最年轻的亿万富翁还是在18岁就继承了十亿的 Albert von Thurn und Taxis of Germany.

解答 61.reported  考查非谓语动词.根据句子成分和句意可知,这里需要一个非谓语动词修饰名词people作定语,因people和report之间是动宾关系,表被动,故填reported.
62.richest  考查形容词的最高级.根据句意和前面的the可知,这里表示其中最富裕的就是比尔盖茨.表示最富裕的,要用最高级形式,故填richest.
63.at  考查介词的固定搭配.表示"至少",要用at least,故填at.
64.by  考查介词.根据句意,这里表示比尔盖茨是通过开微软公司挣钱的.通过…方式,要用by doing结构,故填by.
65.when  考查时间状语从句.根据句子结构可知,前后是两个完整的句子.后面的句子是一个时间状语从句,故用when引导.
66.However  考查连词.根据后面的there are still some other people who have made lots of money at even younger ages可知,这与前文是一种转折关系,故填However.
67.younger  考查形容词的比较级.根据语境和even可知,这里是把这些人和比尔盖茨作比较,表达更年轻的时候,要用比较级形式,故填younger.
68.Both  考查代词.根据句意,这里指代前文的Jackie Coogan 和 Shirley Temple.表示两者都,要用both指代,故填both.
69.acting  考查非谓语动词.根据句意和成分可知,这里需要一个非谓语动词作方式状语.act和其逻辑主语both of these child actors之间是主谓关系,表主动,故填acting.
70.the  考查冠词.形容词和副词的最高级前面必须要有定冠词the,故填the.

点评 做语法填空时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案.

6.When I was a little girl,my mother told me to wait for the light to turn green before I crossed the street.This I did.Indeed,I was positive as a young child that I would get crushed like a potato if I ever stepped a foot off the sidewalk while the light was red.I followed my mother's advice until I realized that she herself went through red lights always pulling me with her.So after a while I followed her example and not her advice.
And this was just part of the story.I was out of high school before the picture began to pull together.I absorbed the knowledge little by little through the years.And me,my friends and I,did come to take it for granted.Parents were that way.Older people were that way.And most of us accepted it as part of life.
Now I am grown up and I have my own children.For the longest time I pulled my little daughter across the middle of the street-just like my mother used to do-warning her,"Don't do this when I'm not with you."
Webster says such behavior is hypocrisy(虚伪),that is,pretending to be better than we are.Is this because we always want to be better?Or only that we want to fool people into thinking that we are?When we practice a religion which causes a concern for our fellow men,do we purposefully march out of church and refuse to rent an apartment to a black family?Or do we all live on two tracks because we have,somewhere along the line,come to the conclusion that such hypocrisy is essential to our survival in soc iety at this time?
33.The writer mainly talks aboutBin the passage.
A.safety education for children               
B.some of her understanding of life
C.the lack of traffic rules                   
D.essential survival skills

A.her mother's behavior didn't agree with her words
B.her mother's advice proved to be completely wrong
C.the traffic was getting better than ever before

35.How does the writer feel about hypocrisy?C

Continuing to think up new ideas,try out new flavors,and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working at one cool job.

20.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpiece written in 1876by the famous writer Mark Twain.The story line is simple.The book is like a biography(自传)of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.
Tom Sawyer is a smart but naughty young boy living in the small town on the Mississippi River.He is an orphan and lives with his aunt.He has many clever ideas,but doesn't like school,and always likes to escape the school to fish.Tom has a trusted friend,Huck Finn,who few of the adults approve of.Tom Sawyer and Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River,pretending to be pirates(海盗),attending their own funeral(葬礼),and witnessing a murder(谋杀).Tom overcomes fear and appears in court and speaks out the murderer.He and his friends finally discover a lot of treasures and they become millionaires…
Mark Twain's writing is based on his own childhood and his personal experience.What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood.It is a story filled with action,adventure,ingenious ideas,love,and schoolyard politics.The whole story is seemingly a complication of what Twain did or wished to do during his childhood.
The book is a little difficult to read at first.Perhaps,it will take you a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect(方言) in the book.But on the whole,the book is an enjoyable read for people of all ages.I highly recommend (推荐)this book for anyone looking forward to feeling young again.

A.He often escapes the school.

5.They are the little sweeties who look pretty cute in a photo,or when sleeping-but a lot less appealing at 30,000ft,crying loudly in the seat right next to you.
According to a new survey,almost seven in ten Britons dislike flying with babies so much that they would like to see child-free areas introduced on planes.As for long-distance flights where people want to sleep,almost one in four British travelers believes that no-kid-zones should be fixed as required sections.
The survey was conducted by bookings website LateDeals.co.uk,with 1,108UK consumers questioned as to what they hate most about air travel.
And our dislike of noisy children and babies on planes runs deep,it seems more than a third of us-35percent-would pay extra to travel on a childless service.
Long-distance passengers would be prepared to pay an additional£63to the cost of a return ticket if it meant adults only on board.And on short-distance flights,an extra£28on the price of a return fare would be considered good value if it guaranteed an absence of angry babies in the middle of the economy-class aisle(走道).
However,screaming babies are not the only source of annoyance for British travelers.In fact,according to the research on the most annoying types of airline passengers,a crying baby ranks as only the fourth.Over half of those surveyed-58percent-selected"drunk travellers"as their pet peeves( 令人反感的事或物).People with"bad personal hygiene(卫生)"and travellers who kick the back of the seat in front were also near the top of the list,causing anger to 48and 47per-cent of us respectively(分别地).Crying babies came in at fourth on the list,a pet peeve for 43percent of those surveyed.
9.Britons dislike flying with babies because theyA.
A.make too much noise     
B.get angry easily
C.sleep right next to them   
D.stay in the economy-class aisle
10.How many British travellers surveyed would like to have no-kid-zones on planes?C
A.About 35%.
B.About 43%.
C.About 70%.
D.About 58%.
11.What kind of passengers is most disliked by British airline travellers?C
A.The crying babies on a flight.
B.People with bad personal hygiene.
C.Those who have drunk too much alcohol.
D.Those who kick the back of the seat in front.
12.What type of writing is this text?D
A.A brochure.
B.A tourist guide.
C.An announcement.
D.A news report.
