We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we’ve become used to suddenly disappears. 1, for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 2 to see--or look at--on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter 3 the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On 4days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Sometimes 5out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 6, she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 7 all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 8 I expected to see her each morning. You might say I 9 her.
“Did she have an accident? Something 10?” I thought to myself about her 11. Now that she was gone, I felt I had 12 her. I began to realize that part of our 13 life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 14: the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 15walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 16markers in our lives. They add weight to our 17 of place and belonging.
Think about it. 18, while walking to work, we mark where we are by 19 a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though 20 person?

1. B。take something/somebody for example是一个固定短语,意思是“以某物或某人作为例子”。在本句中的somebody(the neatly-dressed woman)之后的定语太长了,为了避免头重脚轻,因此把它放在for example之后。
2. C。从to see or to look at on my way to work each morning作者以前经常见到她的。
3. A。what was the weather like是常用句型。
4. D。由下一句说到她穿着厚重的衣服、戴着羊毛手套,再根据选项可推知作者这里谈的是寒冷的下雪天。
5. B。bring something out的意思是“把……拿出来”,引申为“(夏季)她穿出来的衣物……”;take out着重于“随身携带出去”;carry out的意思的“执行;携带出去”;turn out表示“(出乎意料地)结果是……”。
6. A。根据下文作者做出的判断可知。
7. C。第一段提到:我们常见的人或物突然消失后才会意识到他的存在,作者也是在见不到那位女士后,才记起她的衣着。
8. D。表示想见到某人的程度时用how much来修饰。
9. B。作者想见那位女士,换句话说就是思念她。
10. B。由上句“她出事故了吗”可以推出作者在往坏处想,所以选worse(更坏的,更糟糕的)。
11. A。下句的既然她不见了(Now that she was gone)提示这里作者在想她消失了这件事。
12. C。从整篇文章对那位女士的描述看,作者并没有和她交谈或者认识她,只是在她消失后,作者对她的外表、衣着做进一步的回忆,以至于好像认识她似的,这只是作者的感觉。
13. D。由下文提到的日常生活中常见到的例子可知这里填daily ,daily life的意思是“日常生活”,起提示下文的作用。
14. B。牛奶工、街上溜狗的女人等不可能是你的朋友、旅行者或客人,但你会常见到他们但不一定认识,所以说他们是“熟悉的陌生人”。
15. A。从该句的时间状语从句知这些女性每天早晨都溜狗,很有规律,所以选regularly“有规律地”。
16. C。由接下来的话知这些人能够加深我们对一个地方的印象,可见他们在我们的生活中也是非常重要的。
17. D。sense of的意思是“对……的感知”。
18. B。从整个最后一段的意思看,这里是对某种情况做出的假设。
19. A。这句话的意思是我们一直依靠某个特定的建筑来确定自己所处的位置,keep 在这里是保持某种状态的意思。
20. A。这就是作者在上文提到的熟悉的陌生人,即只认得面相却叫不出名字。

Andy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin! That’s right. Andy and Amy(that’s me) have the same curly(卷曲的) hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn character. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues(事情)  we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.

Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal(提议) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.

I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer clothes.

Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like — well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies(嬉皮士) they were!

The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.

How would you vote—for or against?

1.The story is about___________.

A. a school policy decision that will affect parents and students

B. a personal experience and is told in the first person

C. a historical event and is told in the third person

D. a conflict of opinions between boys and girls

2.Amy’s position on school uniforms is most likely based on________.

A. logical conclusions drawn form her own observation and personal experience

B. an aggressive reaction to what she has been told by people in authority

C. her preference for designer-labeled clothes

D. not liking anything her brother likes

3.Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s position?

A. School clothing should reflect parents’ values.

B. Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.

C. How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.

D. Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. A School Dress Principle.

B. My Stubborn Twin Brother

C. Endless Fights with My Brother

D. For or Against?--- That Is the Question
