小题1:C。happy快乐。从下文来看,农夫的妻子以前从未用过镜子,当她看到镜子中的自己时,开心地笑了,说明这个礼物使她非常快乐。
小题2:B。except除了……之外。依常识可知,在小溪或池塘的水中是可以映出人影的。此处意为“此前除了在池塘或小溪的水中看到过自己之外,她还从来没有看到过自己的影像。”故此处选B。

小题7:B。本句为so. . . that. . .句型。sad为形容词,故不可选D。
小题8:B。put sth. away指“把某物收起”,农夫因悲伤 而把有关妻子的东西全部收起。put up提升, 张贴;put down放下, 写下;put off推迟。

小题10:C。lay是lie的过去式,意为“躺”。此处指镜子 一直躺在箱子里。put和keep在此处应用被动语态;hold不符 合语境。
小题11:D。此处意为: 女儿一年年长大(grow)了。

Mrs. Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time,I was getting ready to eat my same old tuna fish(金枪鱼)sandwich and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.
I was thrilled. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family,and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either bologna(大香肠)or tuna fish. It rarely varied beyond that.
You can understand my delight when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch.
When we finished lunch that day. Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. I really didn’t care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her precious attention so I was very quiet as she explained. You see,she was Catholic and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate fish on Fridays.
Oh,I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my mama that from now on 1 wanted tuna fish on Fridays. After my mama understood why,she gladly fixed tuna fish for me on Fridays. She even fixed it on brown bread because she knew Mrs. Amatuli liked brown bread. From then on. every Friday I could get in line with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food—it tasted divine to me!
I realize now that Mrs. Amatuli could have fixed herself a tuna sandwich of Friday. But she bought my sandwich because she saw a 1ittle girl who was thrilled over the simple act of having a hot lunch.
I will never forget her for her compassion and generosity and what I should do is to follow her example.

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample(样本)of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeding style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
小题1:What does the author think about Dr King?
A.He is strictB.He is unkind
C.He has the wrong idea.D.He sets a timetable for mothers
小题2:The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.
A.basicB.reliableC.surprisingD.interesting
小题3:What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?
A.The baby will sleep well.
B.The baby will have its brain harmed.
C.The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
D.The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
小题4:The author supports feeding the baby __________.
A.in the nightB.every four hours
C.whenever it wants foodD.according to its blood sugar level
It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to 36 it by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a _37_ part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is _38_ ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually _39_ to book a table. In _40_ case, Thursday is not a busy evening.
When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely __41_ . I___42__but not a singletable was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation.

They ordered lots of food. At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very _51_ with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table. I advised my friends about the best dishes and finally the waiter went off with our _52_ .
A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had _53_ for us.  54_ a little sorry he told us that there was  _55_ left. "All we can offer you" he said, "is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !"

The price of milk may be going up. There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st.
California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices.
The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell.
The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here.
The 41-cent increase would add to California’s already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing.
小题1:Who will be hurt by high milk prices?
A.Young people.B.Milk producers from outside California.
C.Rich people.D.Families with lots of children.
小题2:What caused milk prices in California to increase?
A.Short supplies from other states.B.Being short of rain.
C.The California court.D.Children’s need for milk.
小题3:What will California do to keep milk prices down?
A.Force milk producers to lower their price.
B.Encourage people to drink less milk.
C.Get men to produce more rain.
D.Increase the supply of milk in the state.
Reporters collect information and write news stories. These stories appear in newspapers and magazines. Some reporters appear on television and radio. To get information, reporters should look at documents, observe the scene and interview people.
