I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I1most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we2ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to3his family as cold. When we got into the 4to go home, his father suddenly appeared.5, he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often6me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant7or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his8me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his9morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I10him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt11. For example, I always return phone calls12and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the13: She wasn’t a good friend! My anger14as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I15and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was16at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be17. Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their18expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my19. Over the years, however, I’ve learned to20other persons, love signs.

关于如何表达爱,我一直都有着自己的观点;但别人也有他们自己表达关心的方法。
1.what引导的是主语从句,“去拜访男友的父母时,我记的最清楚的是他家的钟表的滴答声”,故选A。
2.根据“With so little conversation ...”可知,他们吃饭时很“安静”。故选C。
3.固定搭配。Regard...as...“把......当做......”。“我很快就认为他们家人很冷漠”。故选A。
4.根据后文作者男友的爸爸来擦挡风玻璃可知,作者他们是开车回家的。故选C。
5.考查副词辨析。A“准时地”;B“仔细地”;C“自豪地”;D“冷酷地”。父亲很仔细地擦车。故选B。
6.根据“when I answered the phone”可知,作者的父母是打来的电话。故选D。
7.父母打来电话不说愉快的问候,不过问作者的生活,知识说一些金融方面的指导。故选A。
8.根据quarrel可知,这里应该用一个指心情不好的词,只有anger“使生气”符合。故选B。
9.早上打来电话,知识提醒一下关于资金方面的事,所以是短暂的。故选B。
10. praised“表扬”;remembered“记住,纪念”;blamed“责备”;thanked“感谢”。A项显得不尊重长辈。故选D。
11. content“满足的”;guilty“内疚的”;curious“好奇的”;disappointed“失望的”。从后文的例子来看,当作者的社交风格与朋友的相冲突时,作者会感到失望。故选D。
12.考查固定短语。in order后加to do或that;in turn“依次,轮流”;without delay“立刻”;without difficulty“容易地”。作者接到朋友的电话,之后会立即回一个以示礼貌。故选C。
13.feeling“感觉”;suggestion“建议”;judgment“判断”;belief“信念”。作者得出“她不是一个好朋友”的结论。故选C。
14.随着假期的临近,作者的愤怒也在增长,故用grew。故选B。
15.那个朋友来参加增长主持的一个聚会。故选C。
16.那个朋友送给作者一件作者喜欢的裙子,作者感到很意外,并对她的细心感到惊讶。故选D。
17.作者原先认为那个女孩不在意、不重视作者。故选A。
18.unique“独特的”,作者忽视了他人特有的表达爱和关心的方法。故选A。
19.考查固定搭配。in one’s way“按照某人的方法”,故选B。
20.根据“love signs”可知,作者开始变得从他人的行为、肢体语言中寻找信息。read在此可以意为“读取,识别”。故选B。
I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 16 them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏) our 17 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 18 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could 19 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 20 .
You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21 big prizes.
My wife had been changing her 22 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 23 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 24 way off and set them free. Some of the 25 were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 27 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 28 . Then I'd watch them 29 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 31 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would 32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 33 .
Then last year we had a 34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 35 . It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always known that my brother was different. At first I thought this was a 31 thing. But when I got older I learned the truth. My brother had autism (孤独症) and Attention Deficit Disorder (儿童多动症) — serious 32 conditions. At 15, he 33 like a 7-year-old child. When he was little, I didn’t 34 it as much. But as he got older, it became more obvious. When something didn’t go his 35 , he got angry and it took hours to 36 him down. He would talk to himself and play with string. We could never 37 to give him his medicine, otherwise he’d go wild. I was always 38 when we took him anywhere, and I never wanted to bring any of my friends 39 with me.
When I was 10, I felt like I couldn’t 40 it any more. I’d shout at him for being different and would ask 41 he couldn’t be normal. Of course, he had no 42 what I was talking about. It became very hard, 43 when a friend of mine didn’t want to come over 44 her mom had said my brother was dangerous. Our fights 45 up until one day he came up to me. He gave me a big 46 , like he was saying, “I don’t know what I did 47 , but I hope you still love me.” At that moment I realized that I’d better learn to 48 him.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how 49 I really am. Having him as a brother has made me kinder and more patient. No matter how busy my 50 is, he’ll always listen to my problems. I worry about his future, but I know he’ll always be loved.

When I wandered along a path through woods in the countryside, a small water pool came into my sight ahead. I changed my direction and took the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud to go around it. When I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked by something several times! It was from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt. The attacker stopped attacking me when I backed up a foot. I couldn’t help laughing when I looked down and found I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Curiously, I took a step forward to see clearly. My attacker dashed towards me again. He rushed towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but failed. For a second time, I took a stop backwards when the attacker paused. I didn’t know what to do. After all, it’s just uncommon that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why the attacker was kept charging me. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting tenderly close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could do nothing but admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had attacked me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was much larger than he. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. I shouldn’t have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates’ safety seemed admirable. I was moved and rewarded him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool, leaving them undisturbed. He had truly earned those moments to be with his dear mate.
Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
