分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，主要向我们讲述了作者的祖母去世了，虽然已经有了准备但是作者还是无法接受，后来作者最好的朋友凯利带着巧克力豆来找作者，使他能减轻一些痛苦，他们甚至开玩笑说老了之后先离世的那一个对方会在坟墓中放上巧克力豆，可以看出他们的深厚友情以及巧克力豆对她们的影响．

解答 16．A  根据让步状语从句，虽然…但是…，虽然祖母已经昏迷快六个月了，但是祖母去世的时候对作者来说仍是一种震惊（"it was still a shock when my grandmother passed away"）．shock，震惊．topic，话题．story，故事．custom，习惯．故选A．
17．B  根据上文，该句讲的是祖母去世的时候（"when she died"），在她去世的时候，我还不到十三岁．因此选die，去世（此处过去式）．Return，返回．Cry，哭泣．Recover，恢复．故选B．
18．D  根据上下句构成转折关系，作者不能相信祖母的最后时候已经过去了（"I could not believe that"eventually"had finally come to pass"）．选相信，believe． Pretend，假装．故选D．
19．A  根据主句是我躲到一旁（"I stayed off to the side"），现代分词表示原因，即因为我不知道该在哪，该做什么（"Not knowing where to be or what to do"）．故选A．
20．D  根据上文，这种尴尬终于随着我朋友凯利的到来而结束了，作者此时的感觉应该是尴尬，故选D．
21．C  根据让步从句，我们是闺蜜，就是放学后一起骑车，偷偷去距离几条街远的肯德基的那种，即使我们不被允许离开本街道．即使不被允许（"even though we weren't allowed to…"），名词种类（"the kind"）的同位语从句应该是就是…偷偷去距离几条街远的肯德基的那种（"who…，went secretly to a KFC a few blocks away"），故选C．
22．B  根据下文他们经常走很远去商店买巧克力（"even though we weren't allowed to…"），本句应该是巧克力是作者最喜欢的东西之一（"Kelly knew that was one of my favorites"）．故选B．
23．D  根据下文，我们经常走很远去商店买巧克力．故选D．
24．C  根据上文作者的祖母离世，再根据独立主格结构with的复合结构（with+主语+doing）表示原因，本句主句应是作者的痛苦经历变得好承受了（"A painful experience had suddenly become easier to bear"）．故选C．
25．C  根据独立主格结构with的复合结构（with+主语+doing）表示原因，独立结构应是因为童年时光带给了我巧克力和忠诚的朋友的陪伴（"with a childhood offering of chocolates and the company of a devoted friend"），故选C．
26．C  根据常识，试着想出某种东西送给心碎的人是很难的，应该是不容易给心碎的人以安慰，故选C．
27．A  根据上下文，凯利已经理解到她能做了的除了和我在一起，带给我一些可能使我微笑的东西来减轻我的痛苦以外，就没有多少了．，此处介词所表示的关系是除了，选but（but+to do 除了做…），后面的不定式to被省略．故选A．
28．C  根据句子关系，即使十二岁，凯利已经理解到她能做了的除了和我在一起，带给我一些可能使我微笑的东西来减轻我的痛苦以外，就没有多少了．因此此处应该是可能使我微笑，故选C．
29．B  根据介词和宾语巧克力豆（"M&M's"）的关系是带着巧克力豆，故选B．
30．A  根据句意，此处名词巧克力豆（"M&M's"）的同位语成分应是巧克力豆是一种小件让人欢乐的礼物（"M&M's，a small offering of cheer"）．故选A．
31．D  根据句意，我们开过玩笑说到老的时候，先离世的那个会有一个疯狂的老妇人把M&M巧克力豆扔进她的坟墓里．此处是开玩笑时说的，故选D．
32．B  根据上文，这里应该是总结性的，M&M巧克力会永远对作者有意义（"M&M's will always be significant to me．"）．故选B．
33．D  根据句意，此处的主句应是它们会提醒我（"They will remind me…"），故选D．
34．C  根据宾语从句中包含让步状语从句（even when…即使在什么时候…），这里应该是表示比较，像死亡一样痛苦而强烈的东西（"something as painful and powerful as death"）．故选C．
35．B  根据全文，M&M巧克力对作者的心灵是一种慰藉，此处是融化在心中（"melt in your heart"），故选B．

2．Passenger pigeons（旅鸽） once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers．Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群） so large that they darkened the sky for hours．
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons-a number equal to 24to 40percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world．Even as late as 1870when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be 1mile wide and 320miles （about 515kilometers） long was seen near Cincinnati．
Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands．Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time．The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants．
By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans'need for wood，which scattered （驱散） the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline．Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again．
In 1897，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10years．The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900．For a time，a few birds survived under human care．The last of them，known affectionately as Martha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1，1914．

24．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeonsD．
A．were the biggest bird in the world
B．lived mainly in the south of America
C．did great harm to the natural environment
D．were the largest bird population in the US
25．The underlined word"undoing"probably refers to the pigeons'B．
A．escape           B．ruin            C．liberation             D．evolution
26．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons？C
A．To seek pleasure        B．To save other birds
C．To make money            D．To protect crops．
27．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan？B
A．It was ignored by the public         B．It was declared too late．
C．It was unfair                        D．It was strict．

Dear Editor，
I was a happy girl with a warmly family．My parents loved each other although my family was poor．But everything changed when my father fell in love by a young girl about two year ago．Since then，quarrels happen at home almost on every day，left me and my sister crying in despair．I hate that woman which stole my father．I even hope to live with her before my parents separate and take revenge （报复） on him．But sometimes I think that is not right and I really didn't want my parents to divorce．What should I do？Could you give me hand？
A desperate girl．

16．There's nothing like experiencing history to understand it．So instead of reading  about the U．S．Civil War in textbooks，some schoolchildren in Virginia are creating videos related to the conflict，in which the northern Union and southern Confederate states fought over several issues，including slavery，from l861-1865．
    In one scene，children act as two Union generals，meeting at the Kaploan Klver in central Virginia．The l2-and l3-year-olds are producing a mini-video on the key role temporary pontoon bridges（浮桥）played during the war．After building and crossing a  pontoon bridge，Union soldiers defeated a Confederate army in the Battle of the  Wilderness．
    In another scene，students act as soldiers who are marching to the river with guns．Today，the area is part of a national military park．Park Educational Coordinator Peter Maugle shows the children how to hold the fake guns．"Hopefully they will understand why these places are important through projects and programs like this，and they will make an effort to keep these places preserved for future generations，''he said．
    Another background is a plantation where much of the Battle of the Wilderness was fought．At this location，another group of children is focusing on the diary of a woman who lived in the region during the war．Student director John Ashley says the experience has made him think more about the human aspect of the war．Filmmaker Ghil Hong donated his time to help the students，who have understood it quickly．"They are trying to convey the emotions during the Civil War．They really focus on wanting the story to be accurate，''Hong added．
    With help from advisors，the children also research，write，and edit the videos．Alexis Albert got a chance to try out directing and learned a lot about Civil War history in the process．"It helps me more as a student understand it more than reading a book and looking at words，"he said．
    The project is sponsored by the Journey Through Hallowed Ground，which raises  awareness of historical sites from Pennsylvania to Virginia，including many Civil War battlegrounds．
