20.One day,when 12-year-old Sean Redden went to a popular chat room on the Internet,he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before,Susan Hicks.Her message was"Would someone help me?I can't breathe.Help me!I can't feel my left side."
At first,Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden.But she asked,"It's not just some game,is it?
The message was not a joke."Susan Hicks"was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen,a student working late at night at a college library near Helsinki,Finland---almost 7,000miles away from Sean's home in Texas.While searching the Internet,she began to feel terrible pain all through her body.The library was empty and the nearest phone was outside in the hallway.She couldn't move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse.Then as the pain became worse,she began typing her message for help in the chat room.
"I don't think it's a joke,mom,"Sean said.He typed,"Where are you?The letters appeared,"Finland."Sean and Sharon couldn't believe it.Not knowing what else to do,Sharon called the local police and explained the situation to officer Amy Schmidt.Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl's phone number and address.
Meanwhile,the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(机构) in Finland.The Texas police explained the situation and gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator.When Sean heard that,he typed,"Help is on the way."
In the few minutes,the library door opened.Doctors and three policemen ran in.Taija turned once more to the computer,"They are here.Thanks.Bye-bye."
13.At first when receiving the message for help,SeanA.
A.didn't believe it                
B.took no notice of it
C.called the police at once

分析 文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一名十二岁的少年Sean Redden 偶然在聊天室看到Susan Hicks的求救信息,并帮助她成功获救的故事.

解答 13-16ADCB
13.A 细节理解题.根据第二段At first,Sean thought it was a bad joke and he told his mother Sharon Redden.可知Sean 认为这只是一个恶作剧,即他并不相信这条求救信息,故选A.
14.D  细节理解题.根据第三段She couldn't move that far because any movement caused the pain to get worse.Then as the pain became worse,she began typing her message for help in the chat room.可知Susan 因在图书馆上班时突然感到身体疼痛,无法行动而求助.
15.C 推理判断题.根据第五段Meanwhile,the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency(机构) in Finland.可知是警方不是Finnland的警方,而是Texas的警方.故A错误.根据第三段"Susan Hicks"was actually 20-year-old Taija Laitinen.可知Taija Laitinen是Susan Hicks的真名,故B错误.根据第六段In the few minutes,the library door opened.Doctors and three policemen ran in.Taija turned once more to the computer,"They are here.Thanks.Bye-bye."可知Sean提供的帮助是非常及时的.故C正确.根据第一段he saw the name of someone he'd never seen there before可知Sean和Susan之前并不认识,故D错误.
16.B 句意理解题.On the way的意思是"在路上,即将",再联系上下文可知答案选B,"即将到达."故答案为B

13.A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child.The fire spread quickly,and the situation was terrible.
Neighbors called the fire department,then stood helplessly by,unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances.The little girl appeared at an upstairs window,crying for help,just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
Suddenly,a man appeared with a ladder,put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside.When he reappeared,he had the little girl in his arms.He delivered the child to the waiting arms below,then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives,and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child.She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education.A farmer offered her an upbringing(教养) on his farm.He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying.Others spoke,giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.
Finally,the town's richest resident rose and said,"I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here,plus money and everything that money can buy."
Throughout all this,the child remained silent,her eyes on the floor.
"Does anyone else want to speak?"asked the meeting chairman.A man came forward from the back of the hall.He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

Paragraph 1:
When he got to the front of the room,he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms.His hands and arms were terribly scarred.The little girl cried out,"This is the man who rescued me!"With a leap,she threw her arms around the man's neck.She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments.Then she looked up and smiled,stating happily she would live with him.
Paragraph 2:
When asked about her choice,the girl gave people the reasons firmly.She said in a low but determined voice,"I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams.Besides,I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on.But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that.Without him,I wouldn't be here,waiting for a new choice.I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness.
11.My wife and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year.Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month.We were busy through those hot summer months,driving between visits.Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home.It was almost too busy for the two of us,but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day,we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave.We met the family,filled in a form,and spent some time with their dog,Hercules.He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue.The family laughed as he did this,showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house,alone.I came up to Hercules and said hello happily.I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made.Meanwhile,he was so lovely sitting beside.I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners,a usual service.After the light and"click"sound went off,Hercules rushed at me.I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing-calling my wife.
Then I went to neighbors for help.My wife arrived after ten minutes.The helpful neighbor and my wife led Hercules back into his pen (圈).Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital.The nurses quickly moved me to a room.I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner,"Am I going to die?"He replied,"Finally."

8.My friend BJ Gallagher told me a great story recently,about her own experience with resentment (愤恨).She once worked as the training manager for a large newspaper,where she found the corporate culture extremely frustrating.The company was a hundred years old and their past success had blinded them to the need for change.Finally,after butting heads with several senior executives (主管) many times,she left the company.But she found that she hadn't left her resentment,frustration,and anger behind when she resigned.
"I finally decided to write about my experiences and my feelings at the newspaper.I wanted to be rid of that company and those people,once and for all.So I wrote and I wrote.It wasn't just a story that poured out; it was a whole book!We called it A peacock in the Land of Penguins.I was the peacock and those newspaper executives were the penguins."
"It took me several more years to finally get over my negative emotions.Through a lot of soul-searching and reflection,I finally was able to let go of my resentment.I came to see that there was nothing personal in the way they treated me,and they were good people doing what they thought best for the company.I was the one who had made it personal.I thought they were making my life miserable on purpose."
"Finally,the time came when I decided to make amends (弥补) for the sharp,angry things I had said about the company.I invited my former boss to dinner and made my apology.It was a great healing process for me.I finally felt free of the resentment that had been eating me up."
"What was the final outcome?"I asked her.
"Gratitude,"she replied."Not only wasn't I resentful any more,I was grateful to the company.If I hadn't had those painful experiences,I would never have written a book.And the book became hugely successful-now published in 21languages; it transformed my business."

15.I arrived late one night on a business trip,so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in.As I was finishing my meal,an elderly couple came in.They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces.They sat three tables from me.I was amazed at the love they showed for each other.It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter.As I paid my bill,I asked what their bill was.He told me,and I gave him $40to pay their bill.He asked if I knew them and I told him"No,I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,"and then I left.
The next day I entered the restaurant again.After I had been seated,the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant.When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal,they were told that it had been paid.The waiter just told them what I said.They were amazed.They looked around,asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together,paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal.About 45minutes later,I finished my meal and was about to head out,but my waiter was nowhere to be found.I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport.She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay,because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn't have to do that,she said with a smile"Love creates Love."

I remember a time when a bunch of us were playing baseball behind Mrs.Ferguson's house.I hit one pitch just right and …slam!It ended up breaking Mrs.Ferguson's kitchen window!We all (37)A!

"I was wrong,"I told him,with my head down."I hate myself for what I did.Is there a way (40)B?"
"Well,"he said,"Mrs.Ferguson has a problem,just like you.If she knew you (41)D and you were afraid of her,she would be sad.I'll bet she wishes you would give her a chance to be (42)D.It's your decision.Are you planning to (43)B nothing happened?Just keep quiet and hide what you're not proud of?"

"Well,"I said,taking a deep breath,"One solution is to tell Mrs.Ferguson I'm sorry and offer to fix her (46)A."
"If you call her,"asked Grandpa,"What's the (47)B that can happen?"I had to think for a moment.I realized that even if she did not accept my (48)D,it could not be any worse than seeing the (49)Don Mom and Dad's faces.
Grandpa smiled when he knew I had (50)Cit out.
