分析 文章讲述了作者戒烟的经历．作者知道吸烟的危害，在他婶婶的要求下，他也试着戒了，但不久又开始吸了．一次因为要把婶婶留下来的房子租出去，他去那所房子想整理一下．在去的路上，想到婶婶的话，他把点燃的烟熄灭了．当他打开门时，闻到了很重的煤气味，原来是前一位房客忘了关煤气，整个屋子都是弥漫着煤气．好危险，如果吸烟那后果不堪设想．从那以后，作者再也没吸过烟．

解答 1．D 考查句意理解．文章后面说到作者差点因为吸烟而引发煤气爆炸，所以吸烟不但对健康不好，而且危险．故选D．
2．D 考查句意理解．第二段说作者戒烟不久又开始吸了，说明是想戒烟但做不到．故选D．
3．A 考查代词．句意表达的是戒烟这件事，要用it来指代．故选A．
4．C 考查副词．句中but表示转折，说明作者前面戒了，后面又开始吸了；选项中只有shortly不久，能够符合句意．故选C．
5．B 考查句意理解．句意表达的是作者想把房子租了挣点外块，extra income额外的收入，外块．故选B．
6．C 考查短语搭配．be due to do sth按理要做某事，预计要做某事；句意表达的是新房客那天下午按理应该要来了．故选C．
7．D 考查句意理解．句中说房子没有通电，所以作者要确认一下房子里煤气有没有；make sure确保，务必．故选D．
8．C 考查动词辨析．start开始；manage管理；run运转；stop停止；句意表达的是作者要让冰箱和火炉都运转起来，即发挥作用．故选C．
9．B 考查句意理解．文章前面提到婶婶劝他戒烟，空格后又出现了婶婶说的话，说明作者想起了他的婶婶．故选B．
10．B 考查句意理解．后面是以前婶婶说过的话，说明此时他仿佛又听到婶婶的声音．故选B．
11．C 考查语境推断．文章一开始说到吸烟有害而且危险，后面讲述了作者差一点因为吸烟引起煤气爆炸，这时他明白婶婶说的话是对的，说明婶婶告诉他吸烟会要了作者的命．故选C．
12．A 考查动词辨析．approaching靠近；passing经过；opening打开；entering进入；句意表达的是随着逐渐靠近房子，婶婶的声音好像也变得越来越大．故选A．
13．D 考查语境理解．文章讲述的是作者想起了婶婶的话，前面说到婶婶已经过世了，什么是一种幻觉，好像婶婶就在作者身边．故选D．
14．C 考查句意理解．从后面作者把烟熄灭了，说明作者再也忍受不了不听婶婶的劝告了．故选C．
15．A 考查语境理解．前面说作者把烟熄灭了，后面想说给婶婶听"好了，我把烟熄了，你看到了吗？"故选A．
16．B 考查语境推断．作者在接着走路的过程中，努力忍着不再把烟点燃；resist忍耐，抵制．故选B．
17．D 考查句意理解．前面说到了煤气，当然是作者闻到了煤气味．故选D．
18．B 考查句意理解．句意表达的是他们离开时忘记关煤气了，前面说房子是出租的，当然they指的是房客．故选B．
19．C 考查动词短语．be filled with充满；前面说房客忘记关煤气，当然房子里充满了煤气．故选C．
20．A 考查语境理解．句意表达的是要是作者没有把烟熄灭，后果不堪设想；说明作者想想都很害怕．故选A．

点评 完形填空题考查的语言应用能力．解题时，在理解文章大意的情况下，要注意上下文语境，站在作者的立场上去选择符合作者原意的选项．不能只看词义本身，也不能用自己的想法去主观臆断．

7．For more than six million American children，coming home after school means coming to an empty house．（36）D Some may hide．But all of them have something in common．They spend part of each day alone．They are called latchkey children．They are children who look after themselves while their parents work．（37）F
Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school．She said，"We had a school rule against wearing jewelry．A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached．I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts．There were so many keys．It never came to my mind what they meant．"（38）A

17．"Another bad day at school？"my father asked as I came into the room．
"How could you tell？I didn't shut the door heavily or anything，"I replied．Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school．Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house．
"I know this move has been hard on you．Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough，"Papa said，as he put his arm around my shoulder．"What you must remember is that，with a lot of hard work and some time，you will make new friends．"
"You don't know how hard it is．This year my baseball team would have won the championship．They won't even give me a chance to pitch （投球） here．All I get to play is right field，and that's the worst!"
Papa turned toward me．"Things will get better，I promise you．Let me ask you，do you know why you were named David Lorenzo？"
"Yes，your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo．"
"Very good，and what makes your grandfather so important？"
"He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that，"I answered．
"That is only partly correct．Your grandfather was a very great man．In Mexico，he had been a teacher．When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn't speak the language．It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here，but he did it．He never complained because he knew change could be difficult．Did he ever tell you that？"my father asked．
I looked down at my feet，ashamed at my behavior．"No．That must have been hard，"I said sheepishly．
"Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent，they will accept you for who you are．I want you to always remember what my father taught me，even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are，"said Papa．
All I could say was，"Okay．"Then I asked，"What should I do now？"
Laughing，Papa said，"How about you pitch a few to me？You need some work．"
31．Why was the author unhappy that day？C

32．The father successfully changed his son's mood byB．

3．John Hewitt studies the biology of intelligence．He's also a parent．Over the years，Hewitt has drawn on his scientific knowledge in making parenting decisions．
"I'm a father of four children myself．I never worried too much about the environments that I was providing for my children，because I thought it would all work out in the end anyway-aren't the genes especially powerful？"Hewitt says．He knew intelligence has a strong biological part．If your parents are smart，you'll probably be smart．
But recently，Hewitt discovered something that surprised him．"Well，I may have been wrong，"he admits．"It is the environmental increase you can get，or the harm you can suffer through hard times that may be a little more important in adolescence than I had thought．"
Hewitt and other researchers recently noticed that kids who had a higher IQ to begin with seemed to have an extended period in adolescence during which they kept the ability to learn at a rapid pace，just like much younger children．
"It was as if there was an extended sensitive period in the higher IQ individuals．Or another way of looking at it is that the sensitivity to the environment which is characteristic of earlier childhood seems to end earlier for individuals with a lower IQ，"Hewitt says．Smart kids may tend to take part in challenging activities and this keeps them receptive to learning．Or it could be that genes that lead to a high IQ also cause an extended learning period．
An extended learning period does not necessarily mean a further increase in the IQ．But a very smart teenager with an extended"sensitive period"of learning might be able to pick up a new language or a musical instrument．Such learning can have long?term benefits．
"Even if in the end the IQ ends up being determined to a large extent by the genes，if there's been a period where the environment makes a difference，that could have lifelong consequences，"Hewitt says．

36．Hewitt originally thought the most important thing affecting kids'intelligence wasA．
A．the gene
B．the environment
C．the parenting decision 
D．the scientific knowledge
37．What has Hewitt discovered recently about kids'intelligence？A
A．The environment may be more important for kids'intelligence．
B．Adolescence is an important period for kids'intelligence．
C．Biology plays a big part in one's intelligence．
D．Hard times are bad for kids'intelligence．
38．Hewitt finds that kids with a higher IQD．
A．end their sensitive periods earlier 
B．have a longer period of adolescence
C．behave just like much younger children
