这是一篇记叙文,情节简单,寓意深刻。
小题1:A。考查学生对语境的理解和对词义的辨析,形容词anxious意思是“焦急的;急切的”,描绘孩子们盼望节日的心情,符合语境。
小题1:B。按情节,本题中its指的是school bell,所以只能和ring搭配。
小题1: B。在语境中辨析动词词义。后边一句是what kind of home life David had...说明我一直不明白戴维来自于何种家庭,他的妈妈究竟是一个什么样的人,在那么寒冷的冬天给孩子穿的衣服是这么不合时宜。故选用wondered。
小题1:D。在语境中辨析副词词义。inappropriately 意思是“不适当地”, 根据下文中的without a coat, boots, or gloves可知戴维穿得不合季节。题中所给的四个副词都是加前缀或后缀变来的,且平日练习时的呈现频率都较低,故词义生疏,增加了选择的难度。
小题1:C。考查形容词的词义辨析,special意思是“特殊的;特别的”,上文情节说到戴维穿得不好,下文说到作者能记得的是戴维脸上一直挂着微笑,总是乐于助人。上下文的对比描写,说明他与众不同。
小题1:C。在语境中辨析动词意义,wear常见的意思是“穿着,戴着”,可在这里意思是“呈现,显现”, 描绘戴维脸上经常挂着灿烂的笑容。
小题1:D。考查动词,对比放学后同学们涌出教室,戴维却在放学后待在学校,干一些整理凳子、拖地等义务劳动,故选D。
小题1:A。考查情态动词。would在这里的意思是“老是,总是”。
小题1:D。考查动词词组意义的区别。head for意思是“朝……进发,前进”。按情节,这里是说戴维打扫完教室后往家走,head for在这里与go同义。
小题1:B。考查名词辨析。argument意为“争论”,excitement意为“激动”,movement意为“运动”,judgment意为“判断”。按语境,应选 excitement,指学生期待已久的圣诞到来时的兴奋之情。
小题1:A。在语境中确定名词。该题前后都在渲染孩子们盼望节日来临的急切心情,又提到“before the holiday break”,显然是指在校的放假前最后一天。
小题1:A。在语境中确定名词。该空的前边是介词in,与所给的四个选项都可以构成搭配,in relief意为“由于宽慰”,in return意为“作为报答”,in vain意为“徒劳地”,in control意为“在控制过程中”。从前面几个名词如excitement ,restlessness所描绘的语境可以看出,面临节日,放假前的孩子们已经心猿意马。放假后看到最后一个孩子离校,老师宽慰地露出笑容。故选A。
小题1:C。考查副词。这里B项(sadly伤心地)和D项(helplessly无助地)是强干扰项。考生会由于考虑到戴维看到同学们兴高采烈地回家过节了,误解为此时他会因自己不幸的家境而伤心,感到无助。其实这种想法不符合上文情节所描写的戴维的开朗性格。其实这里只是空间的变换描写:老师抬头目送学生们远去,转身低头看到戴维还静静地站在讲桌旁。
小题1:D。在语境中确定动词。searched意为“搜找”,found意为“发现”,raised意为“举起”,pulled意为“拉出”。按情节,此处戴维的动作应是从身后把那个盒子拉出来。故选D。
小题1:B。考查动词的搭配。戴维从背后拿出盒子,紧接下一个动作就是把盒子递给老师。hand sth to sb 意为“把……交给某人”。
小题1: D。在语境中确定名词。既然是送给老师的礼物,按一般常识,盒子里应该有东西,而老师打开后看到盒子是空的,所以感到惊奇,故选D。
小题1:B。考查形容词。由上文中的saw nothing可知盒子是空的,故选B。
小题1:A。考查连词的用法。这一句的意思是:戴维脏兮兮的脸上洋溢着自豪的神情。我看着这张平时很少关注的脸蛋,泪水在眼眶里打转。这里需要as来引导时间状语从句。
小题1: C。考查名词。由上文情节提到,作者和戴维说话很少(“We never talked much.”)可知,作者平日并没给予他太多的注意,故选attention。
小题1:B。介词的意义辨析。该句的意思是:我从未忘记至今还放在我桌子上的那只小空盒子背后所赋予的深意。由语境可知,这儿是指“空盒子背后”的意义。

One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. Some people, however, from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or teachers or firefighters, but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing a job takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers to give you information about jobs. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.
小题1:In the third paragraph “turn to” means ______.
A.turn your face around
B.change into
C.go to someone for help

Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, or maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement, saying “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(粉刺).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小题1:Which statement is true according to the article?
A.Whenever people tell the truth, they may lie
B.You cannot trust lottery agent.
C.All governors help their states.
D.The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
小题2:The author clearly wants people ___________.
A.to think carefully about what they read and hear
B.to vote for female candidates
C.not to believe advertisements of any kind
D.not to trust any politician
小题3:Governor Smith’s opponents wanted __________.
A.to make her a liarB.to beat her in the campaign
C.to get jobs in the governmentD.to detect her lie

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays (灰色) and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined (意志坚定的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect (影响) that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
   A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful (开心的) and more comfortable (舒服的) than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing (压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
   Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
小题1:According to this passage, _________.
A.one can choose his color preference  
B.one is born with his color preference
C.one’s color preference is changeable
D.one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly
小题2:We would pay attention to colors because _______.
A.colors do have effect on our moods(情绪)
B.colors may have effect on our work and study
C.light and bright colors make people happy
D.you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike
小题3: The main idea of this passage is ________.
A.one’s color preference shows one’s character
B.you can brighten your life with wonderful colors
C.psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference
D.one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings
小题4: "I am feeling black" means ______.
A.I am feeling well     B.I am very happy   
C.I am excited   D.I am depressed

High-quality customer service is preached(宣扬) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail store, but instead will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen.
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school.
“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers.” Said Paula Courtney, president of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”
On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.
According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems. Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.
The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.
During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty peaking spaces. This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.
“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” Said professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.
小题1:Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?
A.Few customers believe the service will be improved.
B.Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.
C.Customers have no easy access to store managers.
D.Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.
小题2:Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers         .
A.can find their cars easily after shoppingB.won’t have trouble parking their cars
C.can stay longer browsing in the storeD.won’t have any worries about security
小题3:What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?
A.Design of the store layout.B.Hiring of efficient employees.
C.Manners of the salespeople.D.Huge supply of goods for sale.
小题4:To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to        .
A.voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
B.shop around and make comparisons between stores
C.settle their disputes with stores in a diplomatic way
D.put pressure on stores to improve their service

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时的)about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what’ s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can’ t do both -- and they don’ t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group,  they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls’ mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’ s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
小题1:While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they       
A.are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B.can both talk and watch the screen at the same time
C.think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D.have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
小题2: After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to              .
A.experience the happy time againB.keep a close tie with her
C.recommend her a new scenic spotD.remind her of something forgotten
小题3:What does the author want to tell us most?
A.Women’ s brains are better organized for language and communication
B.Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C.Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D.Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
B.Talking Maintains Relationships
C.Women Love to Talk
D.Men Talk Differently from Women.

“I usually put my mobile phone in my bag, and I often feel like it is ringing when there actually is no phone call. Now I always want to keep it in my hand, being afraid that I might miss important calls or messages,” Miss Liu tells her doctor.
Miss Gu, a news worker, has to take her mobile phone with her all the time so as not to miss any calls from her office or readers. Gradually, she started to experience a great “panic” about her mobile phone. “Every night when I’m about to fall asleep, I often wake up with a start, feeling that my phone is ringing. Although I’m sure that I have turned it off, I still feel that it is ringing, clearly.”
The above phenomenon is what we call “mobile-phone acouasm (幻听)”. The mobile phone has now become a “new organ” in a white collar’s daily life, and “mobile-phone acouasm” has become a common phenomenon among office workers.
According to a report of China Youth Daily, “mobile-phone acouasm ” most likely results from people’s dependency on hi-tech products. It is associated with certain professions, such as salesmen, consultants and journalists. They use mobile phones almost continuously.
Constantly being in the “stand-by” mode, the strong psychological tension gives them acouasm. Meanwhile, a large number of this year’s graduates are joining the family of acouasm suffers due to the hard job-hunting experience.
“You know that the rings are not from your phone, but you always take it out and have a look. This is subconscious (潜意识) from your body sending you a signal, telling you that you must take a break to reduce your pressure,” Professor Sun Li from Huadong Normal University explains.
There are many ways to solve the problem. The professor says that the key is to deal with pressure from work. “This is just a kind of self-protection”; the most important thing is to find out the source of your pressure. And then take part in some activities that are not related to your work. You can do anything that can relax your body and mind.
小题1: According to the passage the phrase “mobile-phone acouasm” refers to          .
A.people’s being addicted to mobile phones
B.people’s feeling the unreal phone rings
C.mobile phones’ going wrong frequently
D.mobile phones’ disturbing people constantly
小题2:How does “mobile-phone acouasm ” come about ? 
A.Some mobile phones are in poor quality.
B.Some people develop the dependency on mobile phones.
C.Some people listen to the music on mobile phones too much.
D.Something is wrong with some people’s hearing.
小题3:What kind of people are more likely to suffer from “mobile-phone acouasm” ?
A.Those who use mobile phones too often.
B.Those who like mobile phones very much.
C.Those who lead a busy life.
D.Those who lead a free life.
小题4:What is the most important measure to deal with “mobile-phone acouasm ” ?
