【解析】试题分析：一位酷爱艺术品收藏的老人，一生搜集艺术珍品无数，却没有一件能比自己为国捐躯的儿子的画像珍贵。

1.形容词。由上下文的描述“a passion for art collecting”，“they traveled around the world”可以推测出，他们周游世界是在搜集世界上“最好的”艺术珍品。根据句意故选C。

2.名词。由该段最后一句话“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：有一年，随着冬天的来临，战争吞没了整个国家，小伙子离开家乡到前线报效国家。所以选war，意思是：战争。根据句意故选D。

3.动词。save 挽救；help帮助；build建设。这里指的是年轻人参军保卫国家，所以选serve。serve the country意为：报效祖国。根据句意故选C.

4.形容词。下一句告诉我们，这位父亲在等待更多的关于儿子的消息，担心再也见不到自己的儿子，由此可以看出，电报上只是说儿子失踪了，所以选missing，意为：失踪的。根据句意故选A。

5.形容词。calmly 冷静地；quietly 安静地； secretly秘密地。收到了儿子在战场上失踪的电报，害怕再也见不到儿子，在等待更多消息的心情应该是“不安的”。根据句意故选B.

6.动词。A．fearing害怕；B．doubting怀疑；C．wondering想知道；D．expecting期盼。这里指老人害怕再也见不到儿子。故选A。

7.动词。complete 完成； double 加倍； remove移开。由下一句可以看出，他所担心的事情真的发生了，也就是说他的儿子真的牺牲了。故选D。

8.形容词。儿子去世了，父亲感到很孤独，所以选lonely，意为：孤独的。A项的干扰性很大，但是该词意为：不安的，和and前的upset意思上重复。。根据句意故选C。

9.名词。上一句中有选项的名词形式sadness复现。句意：圣诞节的上午，敲门声唤醒了这位(因失去儿子)伤心的老人。故选A。
10.名词。由他自我介绍中的“I was the one he was ____ when he died. ”可以看出，这位来客就是老人的儿子牺牲时救的那个人，再结合第二段的“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，他也是一位士兵。故选soldier。下文中“the soldier told of how…”也提示了答案。故选B。

11.名词。A．guard守卫；B．photographer照相的人；C．partner伙伴；D．friend朋友。这里指我是你儿子的朋友。故选D。
12.动词。A．rescuing拯救；B．commanding命令；C．guarding守卫；D．hiding隐藏。我是他拯救我的那个人。根据句意故选A

13.动词。由语境以及下文的told可以看出，这两个人进行了一些谈话，所以选talk。根据句意故选C

14.动词。对应第一段的“a passion for art collecting”，所以选love。句意：战士告诉老人，他儿子生前告诉大家他非常热爱艺术品，更不用说他的父亲了。可知应选B。

15.名词。好的艺术作品都是艺术家创作的，而战士带来的礼物是战士自己画的，所以他要表达的意思是：我知道你很喜欢艺术珍品，我虽然不是艺术家，但是我画了一幅您儿子的肖像，送给您。所以选artist。故选A。

16.副词。尽管这幅画画得不是多么好(也就是文章所表达的：世界上绝对不会有人认为这是一位天才画家的作品)，但是却细致地勾画出了小伙子的面部特征。所以选never。根据句意故选B.

17.短语搭配。in detail为固定搭配，意为：详细地。这里指绘画详尽地特写了年轻男人的脸。故选C。

18.18】考查动词。A．thanked感激；B．questioned询问；C．welcomed欢迎；D．treated对待。收到了别人精心准备的礼物，自然应该感谢。根据句意故选A.

19.短语辨析。push aside 把……向旁边推。句意：老人把以前收藏的价值连城的艺术品放到了一边，而把儿子的画像挂到了最显眼的位置。其他各词都能和push搭配，但不符合语境。根据句意故选C.

20.名词。A．treasure财富；B．gift 礼物；C．souvenir纪念品；D．package包裹。这里指的就是老人收到的礼物，也就是战士送的画像，所以选gift。根据句意故选B。

C. to west D. west

 

When a magazine for high school students asked its readers what life would be like in twenty years, they said: Machines would be run by solar power. Buildings would rotate（旋转）so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat. Walls would “give light” and “change color with the push of a button.” Food would be replaced by pills. School would be taught by electrical impulse（电脉冲）while we sleep. Cars would have radar（雷达）. Does this sound like the year 2000? Actually, this article was written in 1958 and the question was, “what will life be like in 1978?

The future is much too important to simply guess about, the way the high school students did, so experts are regularly asked to predict accuately. By carefully studying the present, skilled businessmen, scientists, and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen. But can they? One expert on Cities wrote: Cities of the future would not be crowded, but would have space for farms and fields. People would travel to work in “airbuses”, large all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers. When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar. The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents “almost unheard of”. Does that sound familiar? If the expert had been accurate it would, because he was writing in 1957. His subject was “The city of 1982”.

If the professionals sometimes sound like high school students, it’s probably because future study is still a new field. But economic forecasting, or predicting what the economy will do, has been around for a long time. It should be accuate, and generally it is. But there have been some big mistakes in the field, too. In early 1929, most forecasters saw an excellent future for the stock market. In October of that year, the stock market had its worst losses ever, ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foreseers.

One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant error. In 1957, H.J. Rand of the Rad corporation was asked about the year 2000, “Only one thing is certain,” he answered. “Children born today will have reached the age of 43.”

1.How many examples does the author offer to describe the future life?

A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six

2.The high school students’ answers to “What would life be like in 1978?” sound __________.

A. accurate B. imaginative C. correct D. foolish

3.In the second paragraph, the writer gives examples to show _________.

A. predicting about the future can be done in a humorous way

B. no predictions are based on careful research

C. experts are always better than others in figuring out what the future will be like

D. forecasting the future is not an easy job even for experts in this field

4.From the third paragraph we can learn that _________.

A. economy forecasting is rather a new field

B. experts began economy forecasting in 1929

C. the predictions about economic situation caused the investors to lose lots of money

D. good, accurate forecasting helped the stock market overcome the difficulties

5.H.J.Rand’s prediction about the year 2000 shows that ________.

A. it is easy to figure out in advance what will happen

B. it is difficult to figure out in advance what will happen

C. only professionals can figure out in advance what will happen

D. very few professionals figure out in advance what will happen

A few things to do during weekends to improve your life

Weekend at last! Something you’re so looking forward to after a tiring week at work. Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.

Spend time with loved ones. Reconnect with family members or friends you neglected(疏忽) lately. Don’t do it out of guilt or because you have to. Do it because you want to. Reach out to them to see how they are doing. 1. Return their calls if you were busy when they last tried to reach you. Talk to them. Listen to them. Be there for them.

2. Stay away from TV, iPad, iPhone and any other electronic devices. Unplug! Your brain needs to clear up from all the stress you’ve put on yourself during the week. Why not read a book instead? A paper one. Seriously, when was the last time you did that?

Laugh, laugh and laugh again. You can never have enough of it. Laugh is the best medicine ever. 3. For example, it helps you manage stress, strengthen your immune system and you are 40 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.

Express appreciation. 4. Be grateful for your family, friends, health, the food you put on the table, the clothes you wear and the air that you breathe.

There you are. Doing a few things during weekends will have a positive long-term effect on your life. 5. .

If you are not any kind of a longtime A-list New Yorker celebrity like Woody Allen，chances are that you have never experienced，and will never experience-a meal in a legendary(神奇) Italian-American restaurant called Rao’s.

Rao’s，the East Harlem restaurant with a history of more than l00 years，is simply the toughest restaurant to get a reservation in the US, if not the world．Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain，often ranked the world’s top restaurant，would sell out the second phone lines opened．But in the case of Rao’s，the phone lines never open．

There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant, and each is spoken for, semi-permanently, as regulars have had their reservations for years, and when they can't use them，they often gift them to friends. The place is so small that the owners rarely have the flexibility to do favors even for people they know．

Since it is always busy，there has never been a need for publicity．The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago．It was already tough to get a table at Rao’s but reservations have been non-existent ever sincce the magic review．

According to a critic who is “very, very lucky to have dined at Rao’s a few times，”the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food．There are no menus at Rao’s, and one of the owners will pull up a chair and run through the massive list of options, allowing people to have diner by mixing and matching nearly any ingredient(原料)with any classical Italian style of cooking. The place doesn’t take credit cards, isn’t open on weekends or for 1unch, and “at some point during your meal the one-room restaurant will almost unavoidably break out in song.” It is truly one of a kind，”the critic wrote．

A．To prove the long history of Rao’s．

3.What was Rao’s like before The NewYork Times review?

A．Unique and attractive． B．Tough and greedy．

C．Terrible and unknown． D．Poor and hopeless．

4.Which of the following about Rao’s is true?

A．If yoh want to get a reservation in Rao’s, you’d have to phone ahead of time．

B．Rao’s history is much longer than that of elBulli in Spain．

C．It’s hard fo dine in Rao’s partly because it has a limited number of tables．

D．Only the most famous persons can have the chance to have lunch in Rao's．

5.We can conclude from the critic’s words that ．

A．Rao’s menus are specially designed for its regular diners
