    试题分析：文章讲述作者过去曾因为年迈的奶奶言行举止有些怪异而感到耻辱，后来奶奶有机会站在学校舞台讲述自己的经历并深受欢迎，从而作者对奶奶的看法发生了根本性的改变。
    小题1:C根据第一句I used to be ashamed of my grandma 以及后文可知，作者过去对奶奶错误的看法或态度是一件很糟糕的事情。funny滑稽可笑的；terrible可怕的，糟糕的；common常见的；clear清晰的。
    小题2:A虽然这种事情说出来不好，但却是一个事实，作者不得不承认。admit承认； receive收到，接收；refuse拒绝；show展示。
    小题3:C后文所列举的例子，是作者认为由奶奶引起的麻烦事。另外后文没有出现作者与Katy争吵，故排除A；quarrel吵架,accident事故；trouble麻烦；adventure冒险。
    小题4:D 根据上文I was so used to seeing them的句意及下文but转折可知此处应为否定的语气。already已经；always总是；simply简单地，只是；hardly几乎不。故选D
    小题5:B根据动词的用法可排除A、C；再根据后文作者担心奶奶会听见受到伤害可以推断出Katy只是假装要宣扬这件事。enjoying喜欢，享受；pretending假装；imagining享受；continuing继续。
    小题6:D 上下文串联。从上文get down on my knees（双膝跪下），可以推断作者是恳求语气，beg sb to do sth乞求某人做某事。其他三项Warn警告；demand；要求advise建议均不符合题意。
    小题7:B上下文串联。从上句中shut up(闭嘴)一词可以得知作者不想让奶奶听到嘲笑而受到伤害。 mind介意;hear听到，听见see看见fall落下，掉下。故选hear。
    小题8:C 联系上下文可知，作者意识到奶奶会引起很多不愉快的事情。expect盼望,期待；declare宣告，宣称；realize意识到；doubt怀疑.
    小题9:D根据常识可知，买汉堡包应该买已经做好的，而奶奶却让他们做一个“巨无霸”汉堡包。. Because of因为；Except for 除了；Such as比如说；Instead of代替，而不是。
    小题10:A 根据前文but 可知，作者的态度应与弟弟的态度相反，再结合作者对奶奶的态度可排除B项cheer使振奋，使欢呼；disappear 消失，不符语意， suffer受苦，遭受；此处用die表示作者十分生气失望的心情。　　　　
    小题11:D作者希望把奶奶藏起来，不让奶奶出来引起麻烦。 meet遇见；avoid避免；arrange安排；　　　 hide躲藏，故选D
    小题12:C inconvenient 不便利的，不方便的，主语不能为人，故排除；结合语意可知父母不希望让奶奶感到在家里不受欢迎。Independent独立的；inconvenient不方便的；unwelcome不受欢迎的；unfamiliar不熟悉的。
    小题13:A此处为本文的转折点，根据下文可知，作者对奶奶的看法发生了根本性的改变。finish结束；stop停止； prepare准备；changed改变。
    小题14:A原词复现。根据52个空后面的interview 可知答案。. Interview面试，采访；report 报道；　　tell告诉；write写。
    小题15:B根据下文51空后面的rich in experience 可知此处lives 为生活、经历。news 消息；　　　　  lives生命advantages优点，长处 achievements成就。
    小题16:C 根据49个空前面My teacher told us to help find interesting old people… 的可知此处应选C。Free自由的；popular受欢迎的； interesting有趣的；embarrassing令人尴尬的。
    小题17:B作者在全体师生面前采访奶奶，让她讲述自己的经历，应在舞台上。on show在展览；on stage在舞台上；on duty 在上班；on time按时。
    小题18:D空后说奶奶是个伟大的英雄，但实际上并不是真正意义上的英雄，故用as if好像，用以突出奶奶讲述自己的经历时大家都认真听的情形。and then然后 even if即使 so that为了，以便。
    小题19:B联系上文可知，作者对奶奶的看法已经转变。be proud of 对……感到自豪, be sure of 确信，be afraid of 害怕……。Be ashamed of 以。。。为羞耻　
    小题20:A作者希望奶奶永远不会知道自己原来对她的看法，不让她因此受到伤害。never从不，永不　　　even曾经；still仍然，还 once曾经，一度。

    Dear Michelle,
    Why can't my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and an honor student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back.
    He consumes every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talks her as well.
    His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choice will be limited.
    I feel like I want to rescue her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy; and now this! Help!
    A worried mother
    Dear Mother of a 17-year-old Girl,
    Hmmmmm. What's the matter with kids today? Remember that song from "Bye Bye Birdie"?
    Well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be.
    Life experience creates both the conditions and the skills for management, and if management went before experience, there would be little of it.
    Your daughter is an honor student for good reasons. She is smart, studies with intelligence and you have given her good values.
    When the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visits the ones that are specifically designed for students at the top of their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriend's influence.
    It is rare for an honor student to change the path of their academic career for puppy love. That being said, there might be some adolescent wisdom in her behavior after all.
    Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for unconscious reasons. Being such a good girl and being a steady source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.
    Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. She deserves a break from perfection.
    Michelle

    Students can participate ( take part ) in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies . Anyone can register ( 登记 ) with such groups , which then organize courses ,training and trips for all members .
    One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain , is Outward Bound ( 户外训练 ) . It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year .
    The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence , self-esteem ( 自尊 ) and character . As well as specialist courses such as canoeing , leadership skills and sailing , participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills .

He said : “We learned lots of first aid skills , lots of natural history , lots of environmental facts , and participated in a wildlife preservation ( protecting ) programme . Beyond that , my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing .”

    It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long   1 , my friends and I had decided to   2  and take some extra courses. We had   3  the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was   4   into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new   5  in humidity. Still, it felt   6  to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks,   7  , the thrill faded and   8  set in. I found myself sitting alone each night   9  my home and my parents.
    My summer holidays had always been a   10  time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I   11  helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food   12  with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet   13 . Now I found myself missing them   14  than ever.
    Finally when my   15  were at their lowest, I heard a   16  at the door. I opened it and was   17  to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my   18  heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating   19  , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
    Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the   20  that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

    What’s delicious, healthy to eat and comes in various colors? Eggplant! And no, it has nothing to do with chickens! This strangely named vegetable is, however, as versatile as an egg. It can be steamed, fried or baked. It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and other vegetables.
    Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C. Its popularity soon spread to China and then throughout Asia. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it was like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple”. This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity(精神错乱) and cancer.
    Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesn’t cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this supper vegetable. Since it is high in fiber, eggplant can also improve digestion.
    Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow-white. And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish diversities(多样性) range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious!
    Today, thousands of people are gathering in Loomis, Calif, for the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and children’s activities all “egg-cite” festival-goers. Most people at the festival would agree — eggplant is an “egg-cellent” vegetable!
    小题1:What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
    A．simple in shapeB．various in cooking
    C．diverse in sizeD．flexible in price
    小题2:Which of the following statements about eggplants is TRUE?
    A. Eggplant was once misunderstood by the people for its bitterness.
    B. Eggplant was introduced into Europe during the 5th century B.C.
    C. Eggplant got its name for its nutrition which is as rich as an egg.
    D. Eggplant looks like what it used to be in color and shape.
    小题3:Eggplant is so healthy that it can _____________.
    A．cure the cancer with certaintyB．do good to digestion
    C．replace other vegetablesD．help relieve insanity
    小题4:The diversities of eggplant reflect in many aspects EXCEPT _____________.
    A．colorsB．sizesC．dishesD．nutrition
    小题5:The passage mainly tells us about __________________.
    A．the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival
    B．the general introduction of eggplant
    C．the origin of eggplant
    D．the benefits of eggplant

    Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
    Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
    It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
    小题1:The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
    A．preparing a topic list firstB．focusing on one’s own mind
    C．directing the talk to the desired resultsD．experiencing the speaker’s inside world

    Should e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e-cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration, but 47 percent believe the e-cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.
    “In the hunt for a safter cigarette, e-cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit.”or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer, ”Zogby International, which conducted the survey, said in a statement.
    About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e-cigarettes, which are battery-powered, or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet, e-cigarettes were first made in China.
    Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e-cigarettes, saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e-cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.
    Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e-cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden, because they don’t produce smoke, but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e-cigarettes were more likely than woman to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people, aged 18-29, and singles were the groups most open to trying e-cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide, according to the WHO.
