解析【小题1】根据前面的句子可知,男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果,因此如果要他选择的话,他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。
【小题2】 根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断,上下文之间是转折关系,所以选择but。
【小题3】 根据下文第50个空所在的句子中出现的hungry一词可判断,此处选择hungrier,表示“他越看那只苹果就越觉得肚子饿”。
【小题4】 为了够到那只苹果,小男孩踮起脚尖,尽可能把身体伸展到最高的程度。expand扩大,扩充,扩展;stretch伸展,舒展;swing摆动,摇动;pull拉,扯,拔。
【小题5】 根据语境可知,小男孩是站着伸手去够苹果,因此此处指的是身体的高度,不是力量、长度或范围。
【小题6】 根据生活常识可判断,既然小男孩站着够不到苹果,他只能开始上下跳跃。
【小题7】 每次跳到最高的时候,小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。
【小题8】 根据下文可知,小男孩最终没有摘到苹果。out of reach是固定短语,意为“手够不着, 达不到”。
【小题9】 根据下文内容可知,小男孩没有放弃,他想如果自己踩在某些东西上面就能够到苹果了。
【小题10】小男孩身上背着书包,可他不想弄坏里面装的东西。break在此处表示“弄坏,折断”。
【小题11】 根据上下文内容可知,为了找到能踩在脚下的东西,小男孩四处环顾。look around四处环顾。
【小题12】 小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子,一块大石头,或者,如果顺利的话,能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利,为了祈求好运;with luck如果一切顺利的话;其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。
【小题13】 小男孩尝试了所有的方法,在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下,小男孩只好放弃了。
【小题14】没有办法摘到苹果,小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。
【小题15】 根据上文可知,小男孩做了很多努力,因此耗尽了力气,觉得又累又饿。
【小题16】 此处表示他越是这样想,就越觉得不开心。
【小题17】根据上下文内容可知,此处存在的是转折关系,所以选择however“然而,可是”。
【小题18】 根据下文内容可知,小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题,觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助,不能从根本上解决问题。
【小题19】结合上文内容可知,小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了,苹果也不会得到了。
【小题20】 小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华:面对无法解决的问题,我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon,on Sydney's northern beaches,around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water,”the police said.“Fortunately,the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said,“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.”He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.“There was a lot of pain,as you can imagine.”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”,but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折).He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark,while the police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don't even know if he saw it,”Miller said.
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches,but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However,there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month,one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor,not far from the famous Opera House,and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor,which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment,attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species,including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.
【小题1】The report mainly tells us ________.

A.shark attacks on humans are on the rise
B.sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C.a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D.shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches
【小题2】The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A.attracted  B.draggedC.bitD.packed
【小题3】What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
B.Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
C.There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
D.There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.
【小题4】About the injury of the boy we know that ________.
A.he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
B.he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
C.he may be in danger of losing his leg
D.he was injured in the right leg
【小题5】All the following are the causes of Australia's sharks' increasing EXCEPT that ________.
A.environmental protection has created a cleaner environment
B.a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers
C.many shark species are protected in Australian waters
D.the film Jaws has made the Great White famous

When I was walking home, there was a lady  40  a sign that said, “Please use our toilet.” She was  41  her house for people to go to the restroom. I also saw an old lady at a bakery shop  42  free bread. They made my heart  43 _.

A boy was saved because he climbed up on top of the roof of a store during the flood. The flood  44  so suddenly that he just saw people below trying to climb onto the roof, but failed. They were  45  by the flood. To help others, he kept filming them  46  their loved ones could see.

A foreign friend told me that she was  47  to see a long queue form so neatly(整齐地)behind one public phone. Everyone waited  48  to use the phone though they must have been so eager to call their families.

The  49  was horrible(可怕的)! Only one car could move  50  at a green light. But everyone was driving so calmly. During the 10-hour  51 , which would only take 30 minutes  52 , I heard only one horn(喇叭)and that was of thank you.

When I was  53  at the platform(站台), a homeless person gave me a piece of cardboard to sit on. Even though we usually  54  them in our daily life, they were ready to help us.

Through all of this, I felt  55 _. There is a bright future, on the other side of this disaster.
