小题1:Helen是因为追赶公交车而不小心滑倒在公交车后车轮底下的,因此选running表示“追赶”。

小题3:in one’s mind意为“在某人的心目中”。

小题14:作为残疾人,Helen能结婚、生子、获得学位,是很幸运的事,因此她这样做就为那些生活比她还要不幸的人铺平了生活道路。
小题15:由下文中的I learned that where there is life, there is hope可以推出答案。
小题16:在一名身残志坚的朋友面前,作者感觉到自己的渺小,因此用small,而不是weak(软弱的),pitiful(同情的),shameless(无耻的)。
小题17:从上文提到的“my oldest son was hit by a car while riding his bike,   6  (causing) a terrible brain injury”可知这里作者指的是儿子在意外中受伤,用hurt,而其他的词性不符合语境。
小题18:与前文提到的Helen不会过正常人的生活相对应,作者曾经以为Helen在身体残疾后,她的生活质量不会很好,而不是没有用处或没有意义。
小题19:从前面的修饰词miraculously及后面的moved north可知,这里应指的是作者儿子康复,用recovered而不是treated治疗,worsened恶化,relieved减轻。
小题20:此句意为“但是我欠Helen一笔永远偿还不了的债”。

Who doesn’t love sitting beside a cosy fire on a cold winter’s night ? Who doesn’t love to watch flames (火苗) curling up a chimney? Fire is one of man’s greatest friends, but also one of his greatest enemies. Many big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, though, a fire can start on its own. Wet hay (草) can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to rot (腐烂) and begins to give off heat which is trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That’s why farmers cut and store (贮存) their hay when it’s dry. 
Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker’s shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 A.D. a fire burnt Rome. Even today, in spite of modern fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds’ worthy of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master .

A. nice      B. dangerous      C. unhappy        D. painful

WASHINGTON -Tofu(豆腐)and Soyaburgers (豆饼) may be coming to American school lunch menus. What will the kids say? “Terrible,” said Greg Dudzinski, 17, of Ripon High School in Wisconsin, as he toured the US capital.
“The regular hamburgers are bad enough, so soyaburgers would be a lot worse, offered Zach Richey, 13, of Scottsboro Junior High in Alabama, another tourist. But the United States government – hoping to reduce the amount of fat that children are eating –has approved the use of soy as a meat substitute in meals for schools and day-care centers.Not all kids dislike the change. Mariel Spano, 17, of sandy Greek High School in New York, also visiting the capital, said she likes soyaburgers:“There is less fat, and they are better for you… They taste the same, and they are just as good.”
The government tried to make soy a meat substitute nearly 20 years ago, but later dropped the idea.At the time, the plan was intended as a cost-cutting move. US Agriculture Department officials say that their purpose now is only to make meals healthier.Schools are likely to increase the amount of soy that is mixed with hamburgers and other foods already on their menus, and they will also be looking for food companies to develop new soy products that children will like. “I can’t see putting tofu on a student’s plate and having a good acceptance. I can see taking a product that is familiar to the students and adding a large amount of soy to it and having it to be acceptable,” said Jill Benza, director of food services for the Mesa, Arizona schools.
36.What is the newspaper report mainly about?
A.The difficulty in using soy products for US schools.
B.Various opinions on soy products for US schools.
C.The plan that is made by the US government for school lunch.
D.Healthy foods for students in US schools.
37.Where did the interviews most probably take place?
A.In food companies.            B.In schools.
C.In Washington.                D.In some other states.
38.We may learn from the text that _________________________.
A.soyaburgers taste better than hamburgers.   
B.hamburgers are healthier than soyaburgers.
C.soyaburgers cost less than hamburgers.    
D.hamburgers cost less than soyaburgers.
39. What Jill Benza said shows that ___________________________.
A.students have not yet been used to soy products.
B.it is hardly possible to make soy products popular.
C.he does not like the change in meals for students.
D.schools are unwilling to change the lunch menus.

第三部分阅读理解(40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
We were driving in the right lane (车道)when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brakes, skidded(打滑). And missed the black car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the black car. Who almost caused a major accident . turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us .
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!” and the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call “the law of the garbage truck”.
“Many people are like garbage trucks. The run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸) it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. You’ll be happier.”
So this is it: “the law if the garbage trucks”. I started thinking: how often do I let “Garbage trucks” run right over me? and how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, or in the streets? It was then that I said, “I’m not going to do it anymore.”
I began to see “Garbage trucks”. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave , and move on.。
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what’s important.
56.Who acted like a garbage truck in the incident described in the first two paragraphs ?
A.The author                                          B.The taxi driver
C.The driver of the black car                D.Both drivers
57.The underlined part “the load” in Paragraph 5 refers to“     ”.
A.bad mood        B.excitement             C.new products           D.waste materials
58.What is the main idea of the last paragraph ?
A.Ignore unpleasantness and stick to your tasks
B.Try to be good leaders as well as good parents
C.Always be kind and hard-working
D.Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next
