解析【小题1】C。根据上一句可知，其他学生在背完课文后都坐下了，而Duane仍旧站着。其中but是个重要的信息词。
【小题2】B。此处作者想要说明的是Duane是个聪明可爱的学生，尽管他的单亲妈妈问题很多。
【小题3】B。当作者看到Duane还站着，以为他昨晚可能遇到什么事情，因此过去询问。此处只是作者的一种想法而已，故选B。
【小题4】C。根据下文可知，作者没有看Duane送的礼物，所以Duane眼神中透出受到伤害的委屈。
【小题5】A。此处disappointedly(失望地)，对应上文中的hurt。
【小题6】B。由文意可知，作者没有打开礼物，只是看礼物的外表，“好像(appeared)”是个火柴盒。
【小题7】D。Duane告诉作者这是个首饰盒，“而不是(rather than)”火柴盒。as well as和；more than超过；except for除了，均不符合语境。
【小题8】D。由文意可知，作者打开盒子，看到的是两个啤酒瓶盖，这让她很吃惊。the sight of看见；一见到。
【小题9】C。句意为：Duane告诉我这是两只银耳环。
【小题10】D。根据下文“I avoided wearing them”可知，作者因为耳朵有点畸形，所以“从不(never) ”戴耳环。
【小题11】B。作者被Duane的创造性和周到的考虑“打动(touched)”了。
【小题12】A。由文意可知，作者从一出生，一只耳朵就有点畸形。 Netc oo co .ne t.cnNet组 卷
【小题13】B。作者担心戴上耳环，会容易让人注意到自己畸形的耳朵。draw attention to引起……的注意；do harm to对……造成危害；add weight增加重量；have an effect on sth. 对……有影响。
【小题14】A。但是面对学生的一片真诚，作者怎么能够“拒绝(refuse)”呢？
【小题15】C。根据上文提示，从Duane的家庭背景来看，他是个“特殊的(special)”学生。generous慷慨的；honest诚实的；sad悲伤的，均不符合语境。
【小题16】B。作者当着全班学生的面把耳环戴上，这时全班的学生都鼓掌。
【小题17】B。每当作者看到那个火柴盒，就会想起Duane的友好以及他的行为给作者的启示。remind sb. of sth.让某人想起某事；convince sb. of sth. 让某人相信某事；prove sth. to sb.向某人证明某事；show sb. sth.向某人展示某物。
【小题18】C。根据第一段的提示可知，Duane生活在单亲家庭，而且母亲有很多问题，所以他的生活“环境(situation)”不好。
【小题19】C。尽管贫穷，Duane还是乐于“给予(give)”。please取悦；take索取；accept接受，均不符合语境。
【小题20】D。每当作者难以触动学生的心灵(即很难和学生沟通)的时候，作者就会像Duane那样，让学生感受到自己的一片真诚。have difficulty (in)doing sth.做……有困难，是固定句型。

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。(满分２５分)                       

After my brother died in an accident , my mother was inconsolable(痛苦的，极其伤心的). I was only 4 years old at that time, but I still understood the seismic shift（地震的改变） in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly, everything around us was potentially dangerous.

I grew up with a lot of restrictions（限制）that were meant to protect me. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t attend parties, or go to summer camp, because what if something happened to me. My life was divided into “things you should avoid” and “things you needed to do in order to have a good , long life”.

I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like getting cancert, losing my wallet, car accidents, and earthquakes-disasters big and small, real and imagined.

When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. That loss, on top of my brother’s unnatural death, could have paralyzed(瘫痪) me. But at my mom’s funeral, I made a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe”　or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.

I began constantly forcing myself to do the things that frighten or worry me. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares（使….害怕） me, I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle, I’ve dived, I’ve tried rock-climbing, I’ve traveled a lot.

Courage（勇气，勇敢） isn’t a natural attribute (性格) of human beings. I believe that we have to practice being courageous; using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be good thing if we face it.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   11   , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   12   from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles(弹珠),   13   everywhere. I tried to use a broom(扫帚),     14   with each sweep, they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the   15   , I found a pea——in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   16   . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   17__   12 frozen peas hidden underneath．

    At the time I found those few remaining    18   , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  __19   I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded   20   those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   21   had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had scattered(分散). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   22   his new surroundings and the   23   of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.

When life gets you   24   , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never   25   , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be   26   , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   27   , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   28   you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   29   , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,   30    will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.

That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?

Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.

That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.

After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".

1.The main idea of the passage is _______________.

A. why the writer should be a hero   

B. whether the writer is a hero

C. what a hero exactly is           

 D. that everyone is a hero

2.Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?

A. Because he was cute and kind to everybody           

B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.

C. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.             

D. Because his story saved her son’s life.

3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The wonderful card the writer received.                  

B. The action of sending the card.

C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.  

D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.

4.According to the writer, who can be considered as a hero?

A. A person who helps someone in trouble.       

B. A person who writes wonderful stories.

C. A person who can hold a door for others.         

D. A person who is brave.   

 

After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack, my world crashed around me. I was overwhelmed (不知所措) with the   1.  of earning a living,   2.  the little children.

One  3.  evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our  4.. This wonderful strong animal   5.  to enter the house and make it his   6. . The children took an instant liking to “German” and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day,   7. we could inquire around the neighborhood for his  8.. That night I slept  9.  for the first time in many weeks.

The following morning we   10.  to find German’s owner, but with no results. On Sunday I took the children on a picnic and we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were   11.  to see German racing to the gas station after us. 12.  was he going to be left behind.

On Monday morning I let him out for a run when the children got ready for school. As evening came and German didn’t appear, we were all   13. . The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep. Again we took him in, and again he stayed   14.  Monday morning. This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and more   15.  of German. We stopped thinking about   16.  he belonged — he belonged to us. As German became part of the family, he considered   17.  his duty to take up his position by the front door and remained there until the morning.

Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger, a little braver; every weekend I enjoyed his   18. . Then one Monday morning we   19.  his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how   20. and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares. We are never really alone.
