题目内容
I’m an operating engineer, running crane(起重机) in New York City. I was in the countryside, playing golf when we got the call that a plane had 36 the World Trade Centre. We checked out of the hotel immediately and started 37 our way downtown. When I got home, I called the rescue center and they told me to come 38 and get on the 39 list.
The next morning I went down to the 40 at about 5 A. M., and four hours later I 41 the call to come down to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to 42 me, and that I would stay in 43 with her. I took the subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to 44 the rest of the way.
And somewhere in there I became 45 when I went into something I 46 . I once worked there in 1966 for the 47 of the World Trade Centre. On halfway on September 12, I was frightened to see the World Trade Centre was a huge pile, maybe ten 48 tall. And it was burning. I started to ask 49 in which my crane might be 50 a whistle blew suddenly warning us of some danger. I saw people running away and I really didn’t know what to do. So I did the same, too. It was as if they had 51 the bulls go in Spain and we were running through the street. People falling down, people 52 them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of the way, because something was extremely 53 . I didn’t even look back. We stopped running when we got to the Battery Tunnel, and I caught my 54 and said, “Oh, my God, I’m going to die.”
Then I 55 a little bit, thinking about what we should do next. As we started again we knocked into a fire chief officer and we asked, “What can we do to help you?”

解析【小题1】C根据下文可知，本片故事是有关911世贸中心被飞机撞毁之后，作者前往现场去做清除工作途中的经历，所以应该是“飞机击中世贸中心”。
【小题1】B make one’s way“前往;非常艰难地行进”。当时应该是道路非常难走，所以选择B，即作者开始前往市中心。
【小题1】D根据下文的The next morning I went down这部分，可知答案，应该是come down,即“他们让我前来”
【小题1】A根据下文可知，他们打电话是让作者加人志愿者的行列去做灾后的清理工作。
【小题1】C前文的I called the rescue center是提示，据此可知答案选C，即“作者第二天早晨来到救援中心”。
【小题1】D根据空后面的宾语the call可知，作者应该是接到电话告诉他们去West Street。【小题1】D 911事件当然是令美国人担忧、恐惧的，所以作者打电话安慰妻子不用为他担心，因为去毁掉的大楼那里一定也是很危险的。
【小题1】B stay in touch with“与……保持联系”。作者临危受命，为了不使妻子担心当然要和她保持联络了。
【小题1】A前面说我乘坐地铁，但是It stopped at West Fourth Street, s，所以余下的路就要walk。
【小题1】B当作者走进亲自参与建造的楼房，置身于一片狼藉中，他当然是很害怕的。
【小题1】A下文的：I once worked there in 1966是个提示，即作者参与了1966年世贸中心的建设工作。
【小题1】A construction与上文的work对应，即世贸中心建设过程中作者在那工作过。
【小题1】C story是楼层，指，倒塌的世贸中心废墟有10层楼那么高。
【小题1】D介词in是个提示，这个空填的是定语从句的先行词，in which="in" the direction。
【小题1】Cwhen这里表示“突然”，引导时间状语从句。As引导时间状语从句表示“一边…一边”。
【小题1】B“let+宾语+省略to的不定式”，意为：把..放开.
【小题1】D因为前面说People falling down（有人倒下了），所以此处应该是把他们扶起来，即pick up。
【小题1】A前文的a whistle blew suddenly warning us of some danger“警报拉响警告我们有危险”是提示，再加上后文说I didn’t even look back，由此可见当时的危险程度。
【小题1】C catch one’s breath“喘口气”，应该是“我喘了口气说”。
【小题1】B根据 thinking about what we should do next可知答案，既然是开始考虑下一步要做什么了，当然是settle down a little bit“稍稍平静下来”

Dear Aunty,
After years of her crying, I finally gave in and allowed my daughter to have a cat. I now regret my decision. As someone needs to have a clean, tidy house, I no longer feel relaxed in my own home. If I tell her, “sorry, the cat has to go.” She will be heartbroken. What can I do?
-Feline Phobic
Dear Phobic,
I’m an animal lover and on your kid’s and cat’s side. Tell your daughter your problem. Ask her to help you come up with a plan. Perhaps you can agree to allow the cat only in certain areas of the house. This is a chance for your daughter to develop the sense of responsibility owning a pet requires.
Dear Aunty,
I got the highest grade on a biology test. Now the popular kids think I’m brainy, and want me in their lab group. I knew I was being used. Now, they want my homework. What should I do?
-Lily
Dear Lily,
Popularity can come at a price, but it’s no excuse to cheat. Offer to help new friends with their homework, but don’t give them yours.
Dear Aunty,
I’m one of six assistants in a dental (牙科的)office. But I’m new there just four months. I’ve tried to join conversations, but they just ignore me. They go shopping together. No one invites me. How can I break into the circle?
-Crystal
Dear Crystal,
Humans run in packs like dogs. When a new dog enters the pack, a lot of discovery goes on. So bring cookies for everyone! Then try making friends with one co-worker. Invite her to lunch. When you get familiar with each other, tell her how hard you’re finding the situation at work. Chances are, she’ll take you under her wing.
