1.Standing alone at Browns party,Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward,establishing him clearly in her mind's eye.He was a thin man,forty-one years of age,with fair hair that was often untidy.In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little:he was still nervous with other people,and smiled in the same shy way,and his face was still almost boyish.
She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any.She had been annoyed for this fact over the years and in the end,quite some time ago now,she had consulted Dr.Abbat at Edward's request.
In the Browns'rich living room,its walls and ceilings giving out a bright light with a metallic surface of imitation gold,Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.
In a moment he would be at the party too,since they had agreed to meet there,although by now it was three quarters of an hour later than the time he had planned to come.
The Browns were people he knew in a business way,and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs.She had never met them before,which made it more difficult for her,having to wait about,not knowing a soul in the room.
When she thought about it she felt herself unfairly treated,for although Edward was kind to her and always had been,it was far from thoughtful to be as late as this.Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach.She looked at her watch and sighed.

36.What made Anna feel that she had failed her husband,Edward?C
A.Her bad relationship with her husband.
B.Her husband's youthful appearance
C.Her inability to have children
D.Her nervousness at parties
37.Why did Anna stand alone at the party?D
A.Her husband's nervousness affected her
B.She didn't like the Browns.
C.She wanted to enjoy the music.
D.She didn't know anybody in the room
38.Anna started to get angry becauseB
A.she wasn't feeling well
B.her husband had usually been more thoughtful
C.she hated to see the Browns'wealth
D.she came to know that Mr.Brown was only a businessman
39.Why did Edward want Anna to attend the party?C
A.He knew that he was going to be late.
B.He believed she would impress the Browns.
C.He thought it clever for her to associate with the Browns.
D.He wanted her to learn how to do business from the Browns
40.Which of the following statements is NOT true?D
A.Edward had changed very little in character and appearance in the seventeen years after he got married.
B.Anna went to the Btowns'house alone.
C.Anna was very anxious to meet her husband
D.It was exactly half an hour after the party began that Edward arrived at the Browns'party.

分析 Anna独自一人待在布朗一家的聚会上,心里想着她的丈夫Edward.17年的婚姻生活并没有改变多少Edward的容貌和性格.Anna的烦心事就是不能为Edward生个孩子.
Edward已经比约定的时间迟了45分钟,而他一向是考虑周到对Anna体贴的人.Anna面对一屋子的陌生面孔,想着Edward的失约,既紧张又生气,却又无可奈何.

解答 36.C 细节理解题.根据第二段第一句"She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any."中because引导的原因状语从句可知,是因为Anna没有能够给他生个孩子.故选C.
37.D 细节理解题.根据倒数第二段最后一句"She had never met them before,which made it more difficult for her,having to wait about,not knowing a soul in the room."可知,Anna在聚会上一个人站着是因为她不认得任何人.故选D.
38.B 推理判断题.根据最后一段第一句"When she thought about it she felt herself unfairly treated,for although Edward was kind to her and always had been,it was far from thoughtful to be as late as this."中for引导的状语从句"尽管Edward对Anna一直都好,但是像今天这样迟到如此之久,是一点也不够体贴的"可知,Anna的丈夫通常是个考虑周到,体贴的人.故选B.
39.C 细节理解题.根据倒数第二段第一句"The Browns were people he knew in a business way,and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs."可知,Edward 想让Anna参加聚会是因为他认为Anna和布朗一家接触认识是明智之举.故选C.
40.D 细节理解题.根据第四段"In a moment he would be at the party too,since they had agreed to meet there,although by now it was three quarters of an hour later than the time he had planned to come."可知,Edward 比约好的时间迟了45分钟还没有到,所以D表达错误.故选D.

Dear editor,
I am sorry'to learn that some students,especially girls,have been reported to have disconnected or been killed after taking a  taxi.To prevent such happenings,I'd like to offer some suggestions to students in terms of taking a taxi safely.
Firstly,before you get into a taxi,you had better check to see whether it's a licensed taxi or an unlicensed one.It's always safer to take a licensed one,although it might be more expensive.Then,you should look at the plate carefully and try to remember it ( so that the driver can be found out,if anything happens).Thirdly,sit on the seat behind the driver,which is the safest place in the car.Finally,don't bend your head over your mobile phone all the way but keep your eyes on where the driver is going.If you find something wrong,ask the driver to stop the car immediately.
If everyone follows these rules,they won't be taken in easily by bad drivers.
Yours,
Li Jun

16.I am a single working mother and going to college for a better life for my three-year-old child and myself.I am taking a nurse course called"Urban Community(社区)".We were asked to do a major project on problems in urban communities.I chose the topic"Homeless".

One girl asked me if I could give her a hug and I did so.She started to cry and said,"Thank you for not treating us as freaks(怪人)like everyone else does.People don't realize that we all have our own problems and some are worse than others."She told me that her stepfather (继父) was extremely mean to her and her mother did not believe her.She ran away.Her street name was Little Mary.
They were good kids just trying to make ends meet.I told them that I didn't have much to offer because I was a single mother just making ends meet.I had offered them sandwiches and drinks.They were so happy to have something to eat and told me that I couldn't change the world but at least there was someone who really cared.
