【解析】（1）逻辑推理题。根据本段第一句: “我过去是一个非常自私的人, 但在过去的两年里我真的变了。”此空处体现出的正是变化后的结果, 那就是先考虑别人, 再考虑自己。所以选before在……之前。since自从; or或者; unless除非。
（2）逻辑推理题。根据in the past two years I have really changed可知作者现在正成为一个完全不同于过去的人。
（3）词汇复现题。此处change正好对应着前面I have really changed。education教育; career职业, 生涯; tour旅行。
（4）词语辨析题。结合前面when I was at Palomar College可知作者起初的目标应是获得学位(degree)。balance平衡; homework作业; interest兴趣。
（5）逻辑推理题。作者认为自己比班里任何人都聪明, 所以从不和他们交谈(talk)。而write写信; lie说谎; report报告, 均不符合语境。
（6）逻辑推理题。通过此空后面的It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. 可知, 直到这学期结束时, 作者很孤单(lonely)。careful仔细的; curious好奇的; guilty有罪的。
（7）词语辨析题。面对现状, 作者尝试了一个实验(experiment)。argument争论, 辩论; game游戏; defence保卫, 防御。只有C项符合语境。
（8）逻辑推理题。作者开始问周围的人他们在做什么, 他们是否有一些作者可以帮助解决的麻烦事。这里选offer(乐意, 主动提议)主要是结合作者现在要改变, 以前不关心别人, 现在从关心周围的人和事开始一句得出。而C项hesitate to do犹豫做; D项happen to do恰巧做, 不符合实际语境。
（9）词语辨析题。这对于作者来说是一个很大的进步(step), 因为下面说到年末, 她已经交了一些朋友。A项dream梦想; B项problem问题; C项duty职责, 责任。
（10）逻辑推理题。作者交了一些新朋友, 并且其中有两个现在还是她最好的朋友。通过后面的and这个并列连词, 可判断只能选them, 容易误选whom, 如果没有and, 可以看成是定语从句。
(11)词汇复现题。作者之 所以会有一个新的生活态度的另一个原因是她在护理之家从事兼职工作的时候出现的。此处的attitude呼应第一段中的change。
(12)词语辨析题。结合下一句生病的老太太把作者当成她的女儿, 可知作者把老太太看成是她的朋友(friend)。partner伙伴; guide向导; guest客人。
(13)逻辑推理题。老太太把作者当成了她的女儿, 所以见到她非常高兴(happy)。polite礼貌的; strange奇怪的; confident有信心的。
(14)逻辑推理题。老太太的女儿从来不来看她, 作 者就代替了她的女儿。bother打扰; answer回答; trust信任。
(15)逻辑推理题。这个老太太使作者明白(see)了使别人感到愉悦也能使自己感到愉悦。A项explain解释; B项guess猜测; C项declare宣布。
(16)逻辑推理题。当老太太去世时作者非常难过, 心碎(heartbro ken)。A项homeless无家可归的; C项bad-tempered坏脾气的; D项hopeless无望的。
(17)逻辑推理题。作者认为自己现在要比过去更好, 可以结合第一段她以前自私而现在不自私来找答案的依据。
(18)词语辨析题。作者希望自己不会忘记这些经历。B项face面对; C项improve提高, 改进; D项analyze分析。
(19)词语辨析题。这些经历教会(taught)作者要关心别人多于自己。force强迫; prefer宁愿; order命令。
(20)词语辨析题。作者喜欢(like)现在的自己, 而多年前不敢那样说。而A项miss想念; C项wonder想知道; D项expect期望, 均不符合语境, 所以选B。

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just returned from one. It is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has already climbed above the horizon; the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food. But some of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, putting off the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day’s work in the fields after a sleepless night.
Throughout most of her life, Bridget Mary, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just left. Twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home. The eldest son, heir (继承人) to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work (they employ no farm laborers); the youngest daughter is still at school. Two years ago, Bridget Mary went to England to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband, Terry. He himself is an Irishman who used to live in Dublin and now has a well paid job in a light engineering works in England. They got engaged and started saving. Now they are thinking of buying a small house near Terry’s factory.
The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning. Another couple were being married at the same time. Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations: four luxurious cars brought the bride, bridegroom, family and friends home, and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny living room, hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures. A big meal was given; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or wine. And while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside.
（1）What makes it clear that this is a country wedding?
A.People are up so early.

D.it's the bride's brother who will inherit (继承) the farm
（3）Why were the guests taken for a ride round the countryside?
A.To give them an opportunity of ride round the countryside.
B.To get them out of the way.
C.To enable the neighbors to see the married people.
D.As a way of passing the time.
（4）What is the best title of the passage?
A.A Newly Married Couple
B.A Irish Wedding in the Country
C.Celebrations of Irish Wedding
D.Irish Married in the Country

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
C
No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.
Let's take a man we'll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn't make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people's attention.
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.
（1）What probably led to the start of advertisement?
A.The discovery of iron.
B.The specialization of labor.
C.The appearance of new jobs.
D.The development of farming techniques.
（2）The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to __________.
A.explain the origin of advertising
B.predict the future of advertising
C.expose problems in advertising
D.provide suggestions for advertising
（3）The last two paragraphs are mainly about __________.
A.the history of advertising
B.the benefits of advertising
C.the early forms of advertising
D.the basic design of advertising

Therefore,China's continued economic growth has improved the lives of million of people.The poverty rate in the world's largest developing country had decreased by nearly three-quarters in the past six years.The report is made of a research company in the U.S.It says that the trend has resulted from the economic reforms in the country in last ten years.One reason for this soclo-economic success lies in the rapidly development of the country.Another reason is that why more and more people are moving from many poorer rural areas to look for better jobs in urban centers.The improvement of education but healthcare has also played an important part in help many people get out of poverty in China.
