12.The mother got a bit ________,for her daughter should have come back home from school.(  )
A.calmB.eagerC.impatientD.anxious

分析 这位母亲有点焦急,因为她的女儿本应该已经从学校回来了.

解答 答案:D.根据for her daughter should have come back home from school(因为她的女儿本应该已经从学校回来了) 可以知道前一句应该表示母亲有点焦急,而选项中,calm"平静的,镇静的";eager"渴望的";impatient"不耐烦的";anxious"焦急的".所以选D.

点评 考查形容词的辨析.做辨析题时,既要看选项的含义,更有关注句子本身的含义.

5.Jeanne Calment,a French woman,became a record breaker on 17October,1995when at the age of 120years and 238days,she became the longest-lived human being on record.A Japanese man died in 1986at the age of 120years and 237days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband,her only child and her grandson have all died.She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair,but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90?year?old woman in good health than someone of 120.She still has a lively sense of humor.When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future,she replied:A very short one.She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life?According to some doctors,diet,exercise and no smoking are the three important factors.Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.She has always eaten a healthy diet,and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115.However,until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day,and she does smoke (now only a little).Besides,Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因) from her parents.Her father lived to the age of 94and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.It must have seemed a good   move  at the time,but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:Sorry,I'm still alive!

A.She is miserable and unhappy.
B.She is cheerful and humorous.
C.She would like to live much longer.
D.She feels she is going to die very soon.

B.her giving up smoking and drinking

58.Which of the following word could best replace the word"move"in the fourth paragraph?A

C.march      D.sport
59.Why does Jeanne Calment say"Sorry,I'm still alive"to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?C
A.Because she had an agreement at 80with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
B.Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C.Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
D.Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn't worth the money he has already paid.

3.A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children's names.
Nicole Despres
Students services manager,40 (American)
We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband's family name.However,we did want to have a Western name too,so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name.We agreed there would be no strange names,spelling or unusual kanji(Chinese characters in the Japanese language).All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English.

My son's name is Aiden.In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland,I wanted a unique Gaelic(盖尔族的)name.We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means"legendary hero"
