15.I had wanted to help you last night but I couldn't spare any time,for I _____ a report which I have to hand in this morning.(  )
A.wroteB.was writingC.had writtenD.have written

分析 昨晚我本想要帮你的,但是抽不出时间,因为当时我正在写一篇今天上午就要交的报告.

解答 答案:B.根据I had wanted to help you last night 可知后句解释他昨晚正在做的事,又for表示因为,所以后句译为"因为当时我正在写一篇今天上午就要交的报告",因此答案是B 过去进行时.

点评 考查过去进行时..for是并列连语.接表示间接原因的并列分句,所说的理由是一种补充.说明for引导的句子一般放在句尾.试比较:He isn't here today because he is ill.因为他病了,所以他今天没有来.   He must be ill,for he isn't here.他今天没来,看来一定是生病了.

5."Can I see my baby?"the happy new mother asked.When the baby was in her arms and she was moving the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face,the doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window.The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect.It was only his appearance that was imperfect.When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother's arms,she sighed (叹息),knowing that his life was to be unfortunate.He cried to his mum"A boy,a big boy…called me a freak (怪人)."
He grew up,handsome.A favorite with his fellow students,he might have been class president,but for that.He developed a gift,a talent for literature and music."But you might communicate with other young people,"his mother blamed him,but felt a kindness in her heart.
A few years went by.One day,his father said to the son,"You're going to the hospital,son.Mother and I have someone who will donate (捐献) the ears you need.But it's a secret."The operation was a great success,and a new person appeared.
Later he married and became a lawyer.One day,he asked his father,"Who gave me the ears?Who gave me so much?I could never do enough for him or her.""I do not believe you could,"said the father,"but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet."
The years kept their secret,but the day did come.He stood with his father over his mother's casket(棺材).Slowly,tenderly,the father reached out and raised the thick,reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,"his father whispered gently,"and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful,did they?"

64.Why did the doctor turn quickly and look out of the window?C
A.Because the baby had a tiny face.
B.Because he saw the baby crying.
C.Because the baby was born imperfect.
D.Because he saw something attractive outside.
65.Which word can describe Mother's feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?B
A.Nervous.    B.Sorry.     C.Proud.      D.Angry.
66.We can infer that the person who donate the ears isC.
A.a doctor.     B.his father.
C.his mother.    D.a stranger.
67.The best title for the passage would beC.
A.Mother's hair       B.An unforgettable memory
C.Who gave me the ears?D.Why did they keep the secret?

6.Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong.People watched him,and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets.Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong,but this is not true.Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake.In the 1890s,a group of people studied what was inside vegetables.This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did.The group wrote the number wrong,and everyone accepted it.
Today,we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is.However,spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong.Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

A.Popeye the Sailor

20.Look carefully and you'll find musicians at the top of almost any industry.The television broadcaster Paula Zahn( cello) and the NBC chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd (French horn) attended college on music scholarships; Both Microsoft's Mr.Allen and the venture capitalist Rogar McNamee have rock bands.Lorry Page,a co-founder of Google,played saxophone in high school.The former World Bank president James D.Wolfensohn has played cello at Carnegie Hall.
The connection isn't a coincidence.I know because I asked.I put the question to top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media,all of whom had serious ( if often little-known) past lives as musicians.Almost all made a connection between their music training and their professional achievements.
Will your school music program turn your kid into a Paul Allen,the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft (guitar)?Or a Woody Allen (clarinet )?Probably not.These are outstanding achievers.But the way these and other visionaries (有远见的人) I spoke to process music is interesting.
But the key question is:why does that connection exist?Paul Allen offers an answer.He says music"establish your confidence in the ability to create."He began playing the violin at age 7and switched to the guitar as a teenager.Even in the early days of Microsoft,he would pick up his guitar at the end of marathon days of programming.The music was the emotional analog (类比) to his day job,both of them show his different creativity.He says,"something is pushing you to look beyond what currently exists and express yourself in a new way."
For many of the high achievers I spoke with,music functions as a"hidden language,"as Mr.Wolfensohn calls it,one that enhances the ability to connect different or even opposite ideas.When he ran the World Band,Mr.Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100countries,often taking in local performances (and occasionally joining in on a borrowed cello),which helped him understand"the culture of people".
Consider the qualities these high achievers say music has sharpened:cooperation,creativity,discipline and the capacity to coordinate (协调) conflicting ideas.All are qualities obviously absent from public life.Music may not make you a genius,or rich,or even a better person.But it helps train you to think differently,to process different points of views---and most important,to take pleasure in listening.

50.The reason why the author quote so many outstanding people as examples in the first paragraph isD.
A.to prove the popularity and the charm of music
B.to prove all winners are musicians before
C.to encourage kids to choose school music program
D.to prove the connection between success and music
51.What question did the author put to top-flight professionals?A
A.Are success related to music or not?
B.Why do you choose music training?
C.What's the benefit of learning music?
D.Why do you give up the career as a musician?
52.Which of the following is true?D
A.Everybody knows those well-known people are musicians before.
B.Musicians exist in all industries.
C.Music can certainly make you become a better person.
D.Music helps Mr.Wolfensohn have a better understanding of the different culture.
53.The main idea of this passage is thatB.
A.many musicians are found at the top of almost any industry
B.music plays an important role in achieving success
C.music can provide a new way to express yourself
D.music is an absolute necessity for everyone
54.The author develops the passage mainlyC.
A.by classification          
B.by comparison         
C.by example                
D.by process.
