He became so depressed(沮丧的)that he was afraid he would spend his life 38  and would no longer be able to use his life in a(n)   39  way.

One day, he remembered how he had always loved getting  40  . He realized that he still had partial   41  of his right hand and could write with  42 . Then, he had an idea. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”

He  43  where he could find those who could be encouraged if they read his letters. He thought of people in  44 . Many of them had hope of regaining their  45 . Others would keep feeling depressed and remain put away for the rest of their lives. He decided that he must try to  46 them. So he wrote to a prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be  47 . However, it would be against prison rules for the prisoners to write back.

 48 with the intention, the man began sending 49 messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul  50 his words,  51  his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.

It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any  52 . Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone  53  read his letters. However, this was his  54   chance,so he determined to continue.

At last, he received a letter from the prison officer, which said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell (牢房) to cell until they almost fall to   55 !”

【解析】这是一个感人的故事:曾经有一名男子,他非常聪明、富有创造力而且有教养,但不幸的是,在一次事故中,他失去了双腿和左臂。他的人生将何去何从?是悲观失望,还是坚强面对?最后他选择了给犯人写信,以此给他们希望和鼓励。

1.C 考查名词。从上下文可知,他通过环球旅行,获得了很多经验(experience),同时从第四段中的提示也可知答案。wealth“财富”;faith“信念”;confidence“自信”,都与语境不符。

2.A考查副词。unfortunately不幸的是。

3.B考查动词。他很担心他的人生一直都会承受这种痛苦(suffering)。

4.D考查形容词。 从上文提示可知,他担心自己再也不能过有意义的生活了。abnormal“不正常的”;regular“有规律的”;comfortable“使人舒服的”; meaningful“有意义的”。根据语境选D项。

5.C考查名词。从下文可知,他记得自己曾经非常喜欢收到信件(letters),所以他决定给需要鼓励的人写信。

6.D考查名词。根据上下文可知,他意识到他的右手还有部分的功能(function),还能够费劲地(with difficulty)写点什么。其他选项都不符合语境。

7.C考查名词。 参见第41题解析。

8.D考查动词。上文提到他决定给需要鼓励的人写信,这里指他想(wonder)到哪里找这些需要鼓励的人。estimate“估计”;doubt“怀疑”;assume“假设”,都与语境不符。

9.C考查名词。从下文提示可知,答案选prisons(监狱)。

10.C考查名词。根据常识判断,对于监狱中的犯人来说,他们希望重新获得freedom(自由)。

11.B考查动词短语。为了他的计划,他觉得他必须得让犯人们收到他的信件,所以用get in touch with (联系)。

12.A考查形容词。根据上下文可知,监狱官回信说写信给犯人是可以的、可接受的(acceptable),但让犯人回信是违反监狱的规定的。reasonable“合理的”;prohibited“被禁止的”;considered“经过仔细考虑的”,均与语境不符。

13.B考查动词。有了这样的打算后,他开始给犯人写信,filled with表示“有了,充满”,根据语境可知选B项。

14.C考查形容词。从上文可知,犯人可以接收信件,但不允许回信,所以说是one­way(单程的)。

15.D考查介词。pour one's heart and soul into sth. 意为:全神贯注于……。

16.A考查动词。 他全身心地投入到写信当中,与犯人分享(share)自己的人生经验……

17.B考查名词。 对他来说,写这些信是很困难的,特别是在没有任何回信(reply)的情况下。

18.D考查副词。他经常会感到很失落,有时候会想,实际上(actually)是否有人会读他的信。curiously“好奇地”;patiently“耐心地”;carefully“仔细地”,都与语境不符。

19.A考查形容词。但对他来说,这是他唯一的(only)希望,所以他决定继续写下去。

20.B考查名词。实际上,他的信很受犯人的欢迎,他的信件在牢房之间被传递,由于纸张薄,以至于到最后信都快成碎片了(fall to pieces)。

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said, "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
【小题1】When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials _______.

A.were scared and at a loss what to do
B.looked worried and turned to Su Dai for help
C.asked a large enemy force to bear down upon the border
D.were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back
【小题2】The underlined phrase“sue for”in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A.demand B.beg for C.search forD.negotiate for
【小题3】Su Dai used the example of“carrying faggots to put out a fire”to show _______.
A.the ambition of the State of QinB.the serious results of giving in
C.the loss of the land of the State of WeiD.the trembling consequences of defense
【小题4】The story is mainly developed by _______.
A.timeB.logicC.making comparisonD.cause and effect
【小题5】The attitude of the writer towards Su Dai is _______.
A.approvalB.praiseC.neutralD.disapproval

57. Joe enjoys reading picture books about animals. He often buys some new ones. Last Saturday he bought a new book. There is such a sentence on the first page: “In a heartwarming twist on the ‘I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better’ theme, Little Nutbrown Hare goes through a series of declarations regarding the breadth of his love for Big Nutbrown Hare”.

58. Tong Tong is five years and two months old now. His father bought him a story book for his birthday on July 2. Now he is reading “But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. … ”.

59. Mr. Smith lives in New York City. He has a two-year-old grandson, who likes to listen to some stories about animals and read picture books with a hide-and-seek adventure and lots of pop-up surprises on every page!
