I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to  36 the problem. It certainly wasn’t  37 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled  38 from behind me. A man got out and offered to  39 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos(纹身)on his arm, I became  40 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But  41 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the  42 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had  43 me.
Then, without  44 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I  45 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much  46  when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my  47 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you  48 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he  49 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he  50 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they  51 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my  52 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same  53 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I  54 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a  55 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

小题2:B作者穿着白色的衬衣和套装,处理这样的问题当然不“容易”。
小题3:A突然一辆车在作者身后停了下来。此处pull up表示“(使车)停下”。
小题4:D一名男子从车里走出来,主动“帮助”作者。7空后面的内容是线索提示。
小题5:B作者看到他那令人讨厌的外貌和胳膊上的文身后,脑海中闪现出打劫的场景,开始“害怕”起来。A项表示“气馁的”,C项表示“失望的”,D项表示“吃惊的”,均不符合语境。

小题7:A文章开头部分提到作者的车胎瘪了,所以那位男子是在更换“车胎”。
小题8:B作者看到男子的第一反应是抢劫,此时又注意到车中还坐着另外一个人,自然感到非常“担心”。此处concern 表示“让(某人)担忧”。
小题9:A随后,没有任何“先兆”,天开始下雨。warning“先兆”。

小题12:C上一句提到作者猜想这位老太太一定是男子的妈妈,此处指出她是男子的邻居,由此可知作者感到非常“惊讶”。
小题13:D老太太告诉作者当Jeff看到作者“吃力地”修理车胎时,就坚持要停下来。struggle“吃力地进行”。
小题14:D根据上一句中的内容可推测男子是“自愿”在教堂从事义务劳动。另外,本句后半部分提到的他对贫困学生的帮助也是线索提示。

小题16:C第二段的前半部分提到作者是在看到他的外貌和胳膊上的文身后才联想到了抢劫,所以此处是为自己以“貌”取人感到羞愧。
小题17:B作者根据Jeff的外貌判断他是想抢劫,想不到对方是在真心帮助自己,所以作者为自己的“愚蠢”道歉。
小题18:C作者见到男子的第一想法是抢劫,由此可知男子经常经历同样的“反应”。
小题19:B男子说外貌看起来像他那样的人不做好事,他“实际上”考虑过改变这种形象。

C
One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’ house to feast upon Mom’s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter (闲聊), I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal (晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.?
On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” I said.
With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”
We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination.
B.The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor.
C.The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father.
D.The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it.
小题2: What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?
A.There’s little possibility for Father to recover.
B.It takes a long time for Father to recover.
C.Father needs love and care from his family.
D.They need a proper time to operate on Father.
小题3:The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because ________.
A.he believed in strictness and punishment
B.he was not so attached to the writer
C.he thought there was no need to tell the writer
D.he was not used to openly showing his emotions
小题4:What does the writer attempt to tell us?
A.We don’t often value health until we lose it.
B.Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late.
C.Life is short, so live your life to the fullest.
D.Bravely express your love for your family.

I’ve often had difficulty remembering names. Proper nouns seldom found easy purchase in my brain unless I consciously repeat them over and over again. Needless to say, when people leave my life their names are often soon forgotten. This can have some embarrassing consequences.
Five or six years after high school graduation, I was reading carefully the shelves of a local auto supply shop when I noticed someone familiar enter the store. I knew him. He was in my graduation class and although he was not a good friend of mine, we had shared many classes and knew each other well. I began to feel an increasing sense of foreboding(预感)and quickly hid behind the nearest shelving unit. I should have known his name. How many times had I heard it during class role call? How many conversations had we had in the hallways?
I easily remembered his surname, “Ricca”. His was a large, well know family in the town of my childhood. I couldn’t have just acknowledged him using his surname. I might as well have admitted forgetting his name, which was not a choice. One’s name is important to every person’s identity. Not remembering an old acquaintance’s name is similar to forgetting your wife’s favourite flower, an embarrassing mistake of the highest order.
I quickly ran through the alphabet (字母表), a strategy I developed for just such an occasion. Abe? No, Adam, Andy, Bob? No, Bill? Yes! Bill sounded right. Of course, his name is Bill. I confidently made my way around the shelves and spoke to him as he was studying some cans of motor oil.
“Bill, how are you doing?”, I said offering him my hand which he took with a friendly shake. We talked a bit, some amusing remarks about our college experiences and such. I took his hand again, said how good it was to see him and gave him a happy wave, calling him by name again, as I left.
I was so pleased that I avoided yet another awkward encounter(相遇) that I could feel a big smile on my face as I paid the cashier and exited the store. As I marched merrily across the parking lot, an awful thought came into my mind. John, his name is John! Where did Bill come from? Was that one of my brothers? The sudden realization of what I did made me stop in my tracks. My head dropped when I realized my mistake. There was no way Mrs. Ricca would name one of her sons “Bill”. “Billerica” was the name of a town just north of Boston.
小题1:Which one can show the charge of the writer’s feelings?
a. guilty   b. anxious   c. embarrassed   d. happy   e sure
A.a-d-b-e-cB.d-e-b-a-cC.c-b-e-d-aD.b-c-d-e-
小题2:According to the passage, which statement is NOT sure?
A.Forgetting your wife’s favourite flower is a very serious mistake.
B.It is common to call an old acquaintance his given name.
C.The writer was in his twenties when he met John in the store.
D.John and the writer studied in the same college.
小题3:The underlined word “acknowledge” probably means “      ” here.
A.acceptB.greetC.thankD.admit
小题4:We can infer from the passage that _______.
A.The writer must have experienced such embarrassment many times
B.The writer had difficulty remembering names because he was getting old
C.Running through the alphabet was always an effective way of remembering an acquaintance’s name for the writer
D.Mrs. Ricca would have named one of her sons “Bill” if Billerica was not the name of a town north of Boston

I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something  41  by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the 42  even more tragic was that Bob Collins,the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute  43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience  44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more   45 I became.
That was because I wanted to know  46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they  47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we  48 someone up after they have died? Yes,49  memory after memory about someone's good  50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we  51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear  52 .
Just once,  53 a gathering of death,1 would like to see a celebration of life,  54 stories are told, tears fall down,laughter rings out;and as the speaker  55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are  56  rises from the chair and gives them a  57 hug! Wouldn’t that be   58 !
Life is too short to leave kind words   59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes,we could say  60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to  31  in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 32 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 33 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 34.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there _35  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She  36  her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had _37_ her. I was 38_ and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it __39_, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt _40__. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen _41 , but it’s really there. Love is 42_.”
I listened carefully but I __43_ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly _44 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __45_. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 46__ on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t _47  me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”_48_ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 49 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just _50_ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

I have two really good friends. Nancy and Richard. They both believe in the 1 of positive thinking. However, though their personalities are 2 . They are totally different in other areas of their lives. The biggest differences are their 3 , career choices, and way of life.
Love and concern 4 Nancy’s childhood. She , along with her younger sister, was  by her mother and father. Nancy’ parents were 6  in her schoolwork, making her excellent at school. On the other hand, Richard’s childhood lacked love. His parents 7  him up to his grandparents when they failed to take care of him 8 . His grandmother took care of him most of his growing up years.9 , since his sister didn’t live with him, he never really got to10 her.
Another difference is their career choice. Nancy has always been a 11 and made a choice to work in a variety of different12 settings: doctor’s offices, hospitals, nursing homes and a visiting nurse. Her13 part was working with pediatrics(小儿科)。 However,  Richard14 to work in the business world. He prefers to work with15rather than with people.
A third difference is their16. Nancy is always on the go. She goes to yard sales, out to eat,and enjoys nature. She is17; has five children, thirteen grandchildren, several great-grandchildren. 18, Richard likes to stay home and do things alone. He is single and has no children.
I am very 19 for the fact I have two similar yet very different friends, Nancy and Richard. This has 20 me that anyone can be positive thinker. And it is also what makes my friendship with both of them very intriguing(有趣的) and challenging.
