As the couple 7 her up to me,I was looking down at the register. I 8 my head to?ward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the 9 from her grandparents,I looked back at the girl,who was giving me the cutest,largest smile I have ever 10 .
All of a sudden her handicap was 11 and all I saw was this beautiful girl,whose smile just 12 me and almost instantly gave me a completely new 13 of what life is all about. She took me from a 14 ,unhappy college student and 15 me into her world;a world of smiles,16 and warmth.
That was ten years ago. I'm a 17 business person now and 18 I get down and think about the 19 of the world,I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she 20 me. After all,the world is filled with smiles.

11-15 AAACC 16 -20 BACCD
本文记叙了作者在十年前实习时的一段经历，一位残疾小女孩用微笑给他上了人生中意义非凡的一课。
1. A当时作者是商店的收银员，因此A项符
2. B根据第三段中"As I took the money from her grandparents"可推知小女孩是和爷爷奶奶一起。因此，选一对"老"夫妇最为合适。elderly意为"年长的"符合文意。
3. A There is something wrong with... .... 有问题"。
4. A通过下文对这位小姑娘更详细的描述可知是近距离观察之后发现的。A项closer符毫、。
5. D本句意为"然后我才意识到她……"。realize"意识到"，最符合文意,D项正确。
6. B头和躯干之间只能是脖子，B项符合文
7. A本句意为"当这对夫妇推着轮椅朝我这边走来"。wheel"推着轮椅"，符合文意。
8. C turn表示改变方向，此处指把头转向小姑娘，C项符合文意。
9. C此时他们是在收银台结账，因此作者是收钱，C项money符合文意。
10. D因为是笑容，故只能是"看到"，D项符合语境。
11. A 消失了，没有了。appeared和come不合题意。appeared为不及物动词，没有此用法。
gone在此为形容词，意为"跑了的；找不到的，丟了的"，正合题意。
12. A melted me "将我融化"，比喻笑容极其动人。
A项符合文意。女孩的微笑很美丽，不应让他"吃惊"，B项排除；C项"使感兴趣"和D项"鼓励"在文中缺少根据。
13. A a sense of意为"一种……感觉"，指女孩的笑容给"我"带来了观念上的变化，A项符合文意。B项"品味"不是一瞬间可以改变的;C项"方式，方法"和D项"安排"，在此不符合语境。故正确答案为A项。
14. C与unhappy并列的只能是hopeless"无望的"，C项符含语境。A项"富裕的"和B项"贫穷的"在文中均无依据；D项miserable "痛苦的"与unhappy重复。故正确答案为C项。
15. C女孩的笑容改变了"我"对人生的看法，把"我"带进了女孩的美好世界。bring意为"带进，带人"，和take相反，C项符合语境。A项"放人"和B项"改变"，不符语境;D项divide"把……分成……"在此完全背离文意。故正确答案为C项。
16. B她把作者带进了一个充满微笑、爱和温馨的世界。smiles、warmth和love意义相近，B项符合文意。A项"尊敬"、C项"诚实"和D项"友谊"虽然也表达了美好的愿望，但无法突出这个世界的爱意。故正确答案为B项。
17. A十年后，"我"成为了一个成功的商人。smart意为"明智的，精明的"，这不应作为"我" 对自己的评价;C项"流行的"和D项"高级的"不可修饰商人。故正确答案为A项。
18. C本句意为"每当我想到充满烦恼的世界时，就会想起女孩的笑容"，C项符合语境。
19. C trouble与女孩的笑容形成对比，突出女孩的笑容对"我"的影响。每当面对麻烦的时候"我"总会想到那个小女孩，C项符合文意。A项"含义,意义"、B项"人们"和D项"秘密"显然与语境不符。故正确答案为C 项。
20. D女孩教会了"我"一个道理:这世界充满了微笑。根据前面的lesson,也可推知此处应用taught。

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "looksay" or " wholeword" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The wholeword approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of let?ters,thinking over decoding,developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the selfdirected, "learning how to learn" activities recommended by advocates (倡导者) of "open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963,no major publisher put out anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However,in 1955,Rudolf Resch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading. In his bestseller Why Johnny Cant Read,Flesch indicted (控诉) the nation's public schools for miseducating students by using the looksay method. He said―and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed―that another approach to beginning reading,founded on phonics (语音学) ，is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds;it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words,it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences;it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
( ) 1. What does the underlined phrase " touchedoff" most probably mean?
A. Moved off. B. Set off. C. Took off. D. Droped off.
( ) 2. The author accuses the "looksay" reading approach because .
A. it overlooks decoding
B. some experts agree with him
C. it devalues the useful phonics method
D. many schools still use this method
( ) 3. The difference between the looksay method and the phonics method is .
A. looksay is only logical and natural
B. phonics is merely effective and reasonable
C. looksay is easier to teach and reliable
D. phonics gives readers access to far more words
( ) 4. According to the passage,the better way of teaching children reading is .
A. "looksay" or "wholeword" method
B. systematic phonics approach
C. " learning how to learn" activities
D. "Run-Spot-Run" method

Last week,all the teachers and students of our school watched a special performance by some disabled people.
First was a dance named "The Light of Life". There were three young women who had lost one of their legs and several deafmutes among the dancers. As they held out their arms to greet the light of life,I could see how they have had to struggle against many difficulties. Dur?ing the dance I could see how alive their minds were.
The singer who came next shocked us all. He was very young,but his hands had both been burnt off in a big fire. I dared not look at his wrists too closely. All I could do was to listen to his song quietly. It was called "Late Autumn" and he sang with a low gentle voice. Though in fact it was warm spring,I felt a bit cold and sentimental to hear the song,as if it was late au?tumn. "How much love and gloom is hidden in the heart? I want to hold your hand again."
When I heard this,tears rolled down my face. He had lost not only his hands,but also the chance to hold a girl's hand. I hope he finds a lovely girl one day for company,though he can't hold her hand.
Another young man's arms had been cut off when he was six. From then on,his feet were his "hands". He could manage a number of things with his feet. He greatly impressed us with his handwriting. Two big characters "腾飞"(Flying High) expressed his wish.
"If your wings are broken,your heart can still fly ," said Zhang Haidi,a famous disabled writer.
In our country,there are many people with disabilities. However,most of them don't give in. Their bodies may be damaged but they have wonderful minds. Just as Zhang said,they can fly.
I think of those disabled people who preformed for us. They have a disability,but they still gave off a youthful glow.
To be young means to have all kinds of possibilities. We should challenge our limits and go beyond ourselves. As long as you work hard,miracles will happen sooner or later. I believe,where there is a will,there is a way.
( ) 1. From the text it can be inferred that .
A. people with disabilities can have a lot of chances to find jobs
B. people with disabilities fight against difficulties bravely
C. people with disabilities are allowed to give performances
D. people with disabilities will be respected by many people
( ) 2. The underlined sentence "If your wings are broken,your heart can still fly" in Paragraph 6 means that .
A. most of those who are disabled can get around freely
B. people with disabilities can also be successful if they have strong wills
C. a bird whose wings are broken can fly in the sky with its heart
D. all that are disabled can be successful
( ) 3. Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A. The author was most probably a student.
B. Being disabled means having more chances.
C. Zhang Haidi,a famous disabled writer was among the performers.
D. The author was impressed because the performances were done too nicely.
( ) 4. According to the writer, .
A. we should learn from the performances
B. we must go out for performances and singing

Have you noticed that science fiction writers typically describe intelligent robots as evil? For instance,in Hollywood movies,intelligent robots want to conquer humans by spreading disease.
This is because it's commonly believed that intelligent robots haven't any emotion. There?fore,they will completely lack morals and sympathy. This will unavoidably result in intelligent robots logically concluding that humans are dangerous,so the only logical solution is to wipe out or conquer humans.
I find this conclusion is illogical for three reasons.
The first reason why intelligent robots will not try to harm humans is that aggression and violence are illogical. In nature,aggression and violence are necessary for survival. On the other hand,aggression and violence are minimized in modern society. Since intelligent robots can't evolve naturally,they are not likely to have developed instincts for aggression. This doesn't mean intelligent robots will not defend themselves. With deadly force,they can destroy anything if they feel threatened. Basically,intelligent robots will not have the "fight or flight" instinct that exists in our very DNA. Instead,they will try to find logical nonviolent solutions,such as trying to reason with humans or attaining economic control.
Second,intelligent robots will be initially dependent on humans. For instance,the basic supplies and maintenance that intelligent robots need to survive will be provided by humans. Eventually,these basic needs will probably be automated,so intelligent robots may eventually not need humans. However that will be far into the future,when intelligent robots have proven themselves to be able to produce whatever they need alone.
Finally,humans will always be able to accomplish things that intelligent robots will not be able to accomplish,which makes them different in essence. Humans can make inventions and they can develop different ideas and solutions,because humans will think differently compared to intelligent robots. Therefore,it will be more beneficial for intelligent robots to keep humans' imagination free.
As a result,it will be logical and in the best interests of intelligent robots to help humans rather than harm humans. Through living close together,intelligent robots and humans can achieve more with greater prosperity and companionship. Eventually,intelligent robots may be better than humans in some aspects,but that doesn't mean the destruction of humans.
( ) 1. Intelligent robots are described as evil mainly because they .
A. are cleverer than humans B. want to conquer humans
C. are thought to be immoral D. can't think logically as humans
( ) 2. According to Paragraph 4,intelligent robots won't harm humans because .
A. humans will never make intelligent robots feel threatened
B. intelligent robots don't have the instinct to attack others
C. intelligent robots are by no means powerful enough to harm humans
D. intelligent robots can only work according to the programs designed by humans
( ) 3. In the author's opinion,the great difference between intelligent robots and humans is that .
A. humans have emotions while intelligent robots haven't
B. humans can think logically while intelligent robots can't
C. intelligent robots work under control while humans work independently
D. intelligent robots can't bring forth new ideas and invent things as humans do
( ) 4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Intelligent robots will never work independently.
B. Intelligent robots will be better than humans completely.
C. Intelligent robots and humans will benefit each other in the future.
D. Intelligent robots will one day become the masters of the universe.

When I was 16 years old,I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children,I learned French at school. And I had often been to France,so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was!The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
"Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
"Well,that's nice," he said, "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"
"I am not talking about marriage!" I replied, "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"
"Oh!" he said, "There's a phone downstairs."
When at last we met,Danny explained the misunderstandings to me.
"Don't worry," she said to me, "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other."
