题目内容

Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to _16_ up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was _17_ the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to _18_ all his time lying on his back in bed.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he _19_ pass the time by describing to his _20 all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a _21_ with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water _22_ children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk _23_ among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine _24_ of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window _25_ all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and _26_ the scene.
Days and weeks passed. On morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died _27_ in his sleep. When the man’s body was _28_, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the _29_. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was _30_, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself _31_ to take his first look at the _32_ world outside by himself. But to his _33_, he found it faced nothing _34_ a blank wall.
In fact, the man by the window was _35_ and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn't know what to say. For several   37 all I could do was to  38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need   39 with his homework or he was trying to  40 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should   41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is  42 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had  43
“Most of the fathers had the   44 reacting(反应)as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first  45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of  47.It is something all people 48 .What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too  49 we don't all express those feelings.A boy should be  50 to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how  51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱着)him for  52 second.And just before he  53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子气慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感觉很好),Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”,it wouldn't take me a whole  54 to think of the right 55 .

Singing had always been an important part of Gloria Estefan’s life. “ Since I was three years old, I sang. I sang everything,” Gloria said. “Gubans,” she added, “are a musical people.”
Gloria was born in Cuba in 1957. Her family left the country just before Fidel Castro came to power. In Miami, where the family settled, many people did not accept Cuban immigrants. In first grade, she spoke little English, but she worked hard to learn the language. Six months after she entered school, she won an award for reading in English!
When Gloria was ten , her father returned from the Vietnam War. Soon, the family realized he wasn’t well. They soon found out that he was badly ill. Her mother went back to teaching at school to support the family. Gloria cared for her father and her younger sister.
She still made the honor roll, and she still had her music, but Gloria was lonely. However, when the band leader Emilio Estefan came to speak at her high school, Gloria sang for him. He asked her to join his band. It was the beginning of the Miami Sound Machine. Within a few months, the Miami Sound Machine was the top band in Miami. In 1978, Gloria and Emilio married.
At first, the Miami Sound Machine was known only in Miami. Then the band signed with CBS Records. Estefan and his band became stars.
Since then, the Miami Sound Machine has sold millions of records. Estefan has done more than just singing when Hurricane Andrew hit central Florida in 1992. She used only two weeks to organize an all-star concert that raised $ 2 million for the people who suffered in the hurricane. “We needed a party after that disaster,” she said.
Estefan said, “You have to stay true to the music you really love to do. There will always be people who will tell you, ‘that won’t work.’ You’ve got to be firm in spite of difficulties. Stick to it——that’s the main thing.”
小题1:Estefan’s father was ill ______.

Two years later, the young man received a registered letter(挂号信) from the old gentleman, in which he   43 the experience of that dark stormy night. The letter also enclosed(附上) a formal    44  and a round-trip air ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay a visit.
At a street comer in Manhattan, the young man met his   45  guest.

“But…will there be any conditions, sir? Why do you choose me? And who are you?”
“My name is William Aster. There’s not any condition.   48  I told you before, you are the best employee…!”

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:
Dress to impress.Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says,“Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network,You don't need to dress like you're going to the office, but you.should display all ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence,and look put together.”
Logo mania(品牌狂热症).Wearing the loges of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group,so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at.It's tempting to load up on loges,especially well-known loges that signify high-end brands.But consider this:college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style.Instead of wearing loges head to toe,“walking advertisement”-style,why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses.Smith points out that leggings,yoga pants,and Sweatpants ale entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising.Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls,they are not an appropriate choice for daywear;As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level.So,get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum.Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters,or Hello Kitty on them.Sure,kittens might be cute,but they're not doing you any favors in the style department.Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look,and not necessarily in a good way!

Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could hardly get in the door.  His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
“What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked.  But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack — a smaller bag of his bedroom — a place to store the many objects that he collected.  It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations.  Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem.  On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.
“Do you think you have something in your backpack that could help me remember my locker combination (箱子密码)?”  he asked.  “I lost the piece of paper it was written on.  I have a science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.”  Kenny looked really worried.
“Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and opened it.  “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in my home to write the combination down?  Well, I know how I can recover what you wrote.”
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his backpack.  The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook.  Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks.  Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white.
“That’ s amazing!”  Kenny said, “I owe you one.”  And he dashed off to open his locker.
It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out; you never know when it might come in handy.”

C.His parents tell him to clean it all the time.
D.He carries it to remind others of his ability.
小题3:The underlined phrase “pleaded with” means              .
A.ignoredB.askedC.pushedD.admired
小题4:How does Kenny feel toward Justin?
A.AnnoyedB.DisinterestedC.GratefulD.Angry
When a friend is sad about a tragedy(悲剧),it’s hard to know how to comfort(安慰) him/ her. But the worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could mean that you don’t care. You don’t have to say much.. A single supportive phrase doesn’t require absolutely perfect words to break the ice. Here are some conversation starters when life difficult situations have your tongue tied.
1. A friend loses his baby.
Don’t say: “Don’t worry. You’re so young. You’ll have another baby.” Do say: “ I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but if you want to talk about it, call me anytime.”
2. A guy deserts(抛弃)your friend.
Don’t say: “I never liked that rat bastard (坏蛋) anyway!” ( If the couple winds up reconciling (和解), you could end up losing your friend.) Do say: “Breaking up is always hard to deal with, but I’m here for you, whatever you need.”
3. A friend has a death in the family.
Don’t say: “It’s God’s will.” or “I know exactly how you feel.” Do say: “I’m sorry about your loss. What can I do to help?”
4. A friend loses a job suddenly.
Don’t say: “Work is always boring. Those bosses didn’t suit you!” Do say: “I’m sorry for that, but I know there’s an even better job waiting for you there. Let’s think about possibilities.”
5. Someone’s pet dies.
Don’t say: “Gee! It was only a cat!” or “My roommate doesn’t like her dog and she is getting rid of her dog. Do you want it?” Do say: “I’m sorry, she was such a great cat. How long did you have it?”
小题1:Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined part “have your tongue tied”?
