分析 本文是夹叙夹议的议论文；文中介绍了一对母女，不与他人交流，总是对周围的小事抱怨；作者最初来到这里得到他人的警示，但是作者希望不受他人左右，自己做决定．她通过不断的对她们表示友好，终于这对顽固的母女开始对作者表示友好．这个故事告诉人们要用自己的善良去改变他人．

解答 36-40 ABCDB 41-45 ADCAD   46-50 BACCB   51-55 ADBCD
36．选A．根据上文They are totally separated （她们完全与别人隔离了） 可知她们不与任何人来往．
37．选B．由上文的"living in my community生活在我的社区"和"mixing with nobody不与任何人交往"判断不与"neighbors邻居"打招呼，acknowledgement 意为"致意；打招呼"，故答案选择B． 
38．选C．本题考查动词辨析．composing 作曲；requesting 请求；reporting 报告；explaining 解析．根据music played too loud，dogs barking…等信息可知她们向当地警局反映情况，故用reporting．
39．选D．本题考查形容词辨析；由上文可知，作者认为这对母女是令人讨厌的，故判断这者认为不必报告给警察这些"小事"，所以答案选择D．
40．选B．本题考查动词辨析．accused指控；warned 警告；reminded提醒；convinced 使相信；邻居们非常不喜欢这对母女，作者一搬到这里就有人告戒他这些情况．warn sb．of sth．（警告某人某事）符合语境．
41．选A．本题考查名词辨析．challenge挑战；job 工作；task 任务；matter 事件；根据more than once either the mother or the daughter would knock on my door and blast me（不止一次地这位女儿或妈妈敲我的门抨击我）可知，作者要和她们好好相处是个挑战．
42．选D．本题考查名词辨析．jokes 开玩笑；advice 建议；explanation解释；complaint 抱怨；上文讲到这对母女喜欢投诉，可知她们找作者来抱怨．
43．选C．本题考查副词辨析．seldom很少；never 从不；always 总是；sometimes 有时；根据下文，作者想用自己的行动感动这对母女，故"总是"很有礼貌地同她们讲话．
44．选A．本题考查动词辨析．wave挥手；stared 盯视；noticed注意到；laughed 大笑；当她们经过时，作者"挥手"向她们打招呼．
45．选D．本题考查动词辨析．started 开始；创办；continued 继续；mentioned 提及；decided 决定；由上文的answered politely （礼貌地回答）、make a kind remark （说好话；赞扬 ）推断作者想要向这对母女表示友善，因此"决定"把爱心石送到她们的花园里．
46．选B．本题考查名词辨析．smile 微笑；attitude态度；decision 决定；anger 生气；尽管作者一再表示友好，她们的"态度"仍然没有改变．
47．选A．本题考查动词辨析．A．add 增添；recommend推荐，建议；reduced 减少；drove 驱使；add…to…"把…加到…中"．作者决定把她们也列入要送礼物的名单中．

根据语境和下文"they…jokingly said they are considering hanging their Christmas stocking on their gate（她们开玩笑说她们考虑把圣诞袜挂在大门上）"推断作者把饼干放在她们家门口．

52，选D．本题考查动词短语辨析．take in 吸收；理解take up 占据（时间、空间）；开始从事；give in 屈服，让步；give up 放弃；根据You may never know just what this…to others 可知，不要放弃对别人的善意，不经意的善意会对人产生很大影响．
53，选B．本题考查动词辨析．refers 提及；参照；means 意味着；relates 相关；contributes 促进；贡献；该句表达的意思是：你也许永远也不知道这对别人意味着什么．
54．选C．本题考查形容词辨析．kind 善良的；light 轻的；hard 坚硬的；艰难的；warm 温暖的；文章告诉我们，这对母女开始很固执，铁石心肠，后来在作者的感化下态度发生了改变．
55．选D．本题考查名词辨析．sorrow 伤心；hope 希望；imagination 想象；kindness善良；文中作者用自己的善良改变了这对母女，故本句指用善意之举改变别人．

点评 答题前一定要通读全文，了解大意；答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的逻辑关系，识别词义；对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来．答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯．

9．She asks what happens when physical beauty fades，and how it's possible to age gracefully．
9．The canopy，the upper level of the trees in the rain forest，holds too much of climbing mammals （哺乳动物） of moderately large size，which may include monkeys，cats，civets，and porcupines．Smaller species，including such as nice and small squirrels，are not as common overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally．
Small mammals，being warm blooded，suffer hardship in the exposed and uncertain environment of the uppermost trees．Because a small body has more surface area per unit of weight than a large one of similar shape，it gains or loses heat more rapidly．Thus，in the trees，where protection from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may be changeable，a small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature．
Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs （嫩枝） and branches in the canopy for insects，flowers，or fruit，but small mammals are defeated，in the competition for food，by large ones that have their own strategies for browsing among tbod-rich twigs．The weight of
an ape hanging below a branch draws the leaves down so that fruit-bearing leaves drop toward the ape's face．Walking or leaping species of a similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by breaking and gaining the whole branch or by catching hold of hard branches with the feet or tail and picking food with their hands．
Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily，but it is harder for them than for large climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from one tree top to the next that typify the high canopy．A gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can：it can achieve a running start，and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard （跳板）．The forward movement of a small animal is seriously reduced by the air friction （摩擦） against the relatively large surface area of its body．

68．Which of the following questions does the passage answer？D
A．How is the rain forest different from other habitats？
B．How does an animal's body size influence an animal's need for food？
C．Why does rain forest provide an unusual variety of food for animals？
D．Why do large animals tend to dominate the upper canopy of the rain forest？
69．According to paragraph 2，which of the following is true about the small mammals in the rain forest？C
A．They have body shapes that are adapted to life in the canopy．
B．They prefer the temperature and climate of the canopy to that of other environments．
C．They have difficulty with the changing conditions in the canopy．
D．They use the trees of the canopy for protection from heat and cold．
70．When discussing animal size in paragraph 3，the author indicates thatB
A．small animals require appropriately more food than larger animals do
B．a large animal's size is an advantage in obtaining food in the canopy
C．small animals are often attacked by larger animals in the rain forest
D．small animals and large animals are equally good at obtaining food in the canopy
71．According to the last paragraph，what makes jumping from one tree crown to another difficult for small mammals？A
A．Air friction against the body surface．
B．The thickness of the branches．
C．The dense leaves of the tree top．
D．The inability to use the front feet as hands．
6．My grandfather worked as a voluntary carpenter during the Great Depression （大萧条）．His duty was to （26）Cthe wooden boxes for the clothes his（27）Dwas sending to an orphanage （孤儿院）in Brazil．

"It's not fair，"he thought as he walked home （31）A．"I've been veryB（32）． to my work，and now this．"
Several months （33）C，the director of the orphanage came to the United States to visit all the churches that （34）A them，so he came to my grandfather's small church in Chicago．
He began by thanking the people for their （35）Din helping the poor children．"But most of all"be said．"I must thank you for the （36）Cyou sent last year．You see，my glasses （37）D broken．Even if I had the money．There wasB（38）． no way of replacing them．Besides，not being able to see well，I （39）D  headaches every day．Then your boxes arrived．When I （40）D  the covers，I found a pair of glasses lying on top．When I  （41）Bthe glasses，it was （42）A  they had been made just for me!I want to thank you for that!"
The people listened，（43）C  for the miraculous （神奇的）glasses．But they thought it was （44）C because there were no glasses （45）D their list．
Tears streaming down his face，my grandfather，an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go．

13．In her outstanding book，"Choose the Happiness Habit"，Pam Golden wrote，"Take the story of two twin brothers for example．One grew up and became an alcoholic （酒鬼），while the other became a successful businessman．When the alcoholic was asked why he became an alcoholic，he replied，"Because my father was a drunk．"However，the successful businessman's answer was also"Because my father was a drunk．"when asked why he succeeded．The same background．The same upbringing （培养）．However，the results were quite different．Why？The reason is that they had different choices．The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last，so they had different experiences．
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to"bad luck"．Have you ever heard the saying"When it rains，it pours"？That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble．So what do you think I got？"RAIN"．More and more"RAIN"．I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me．
Pam Golden says，"You're either living in the problem or you're living in the solution．"Now，when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative （消极的） situation，I use a different way to think about it．I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely．Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution，which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past，and often，I find a solution to the problem soon．It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with．The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience，from which I can benefit．
Now，it doesn't"rain"as much in my life as it used to．In fact，most days are beautiful，cloudless and sunny!Sometimes I do get a rain，but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up．
56．The example of the twin brothers shows thatA．
A．making good choices is the most important

59．Now，the author's attitude towards"RAIN"isC．
A．negative         B．unclear              C．positive              D．unknown
