解析试题分析：本文讲述的一个很有诚信的擦皮鞋的小男孩，在被躲雨的人冲散以后仍然等到半夜归还我的皮鞋，而且把皮鞋保护得很好。
【小题1】C短语辨析。A穿上（表示动作）B穿着（宾语是人）C穿着（表示状态）D穿坏了。句意：我穿着一双刚买的皮靴。表示我进入咖啡店的时候的状态。故A正确。
【小题2】A 上下文串联。根据下文He looked about eleven or twelve.可知他是一个擦皮鞋的小男孩。
【小题3】D 语法分析。动词look与句子主语he之间构成主动关系，故使用现在分词looking做状语。
【小题4】A 语法分析。No sooner…than…一…就…；其中的no是否定句放在句首要使用部分倒装的形式。而且根据句意我一开始说话他就给我擦皮鞋，前面使用过去完成时的时态。
【小题5】B 语法分析。Take off脱掉。本句的三个动作是并列的，都应该使用一般过去时的时态。
【小题6】B 固定搭配。Pour down倾倒。指大雨倾盆而下。
【小题7】C 上下文串联。根据上文heavy rain可知下雨了，人们都到咖啡店里躲雨了。
【小题8】A 动词辨析。A分开B联系C参加D分开（分成几部分）；这里是指人很多，把我们分开了。
【小题9】C 考察语法。在英语中只有it可以指代天气，时间等。这里的It就是指天，天黑了。
【小题10】B 上下文串联。我和他被人群分开了，我想知道他会在那里。
【小题11】D 动词辨析。A擦亮B清洁C转身D归还；我以为他不会再归还我的鞋子了。
【小题12】C 上下文串联。我的鞋子在他那里，我只能赤脚走回家了，故C正确。
【小题13】C 动词辨析。A/B开始C结束D来；到了半夜的时候，大雨停止了，咖啡店也要关门了。
【小题14】B 语法分析。本句的be to do sth表示的将来时，而且表示的是被动语态的形式。
【小题15】A 介词辨析。Lean against依靠着….他的头靠着盒子他睡着了。
【小题16】B 动词辨析。A覆盖B摇晃C/D抓住;我轻轻地摇他，把他唤醒。
【小题17】C 词义辨析。A感谢B理解C认出D经过；因为他睡着了，在认出我之前他在揉眼睛。
【小题18】D 名词辨析。A钱包B手臂C鞋子D包裹；根据下文可知他用衬衫把我的鞋子包着。
【小题19】C 考察时态。他用衬衫包裹我的皮鞋这件事情发生在这之前，故使用过去完成时。
【小题20】C 固定搭配。On one’s way home在回家的路上。其中的home是副词，要单独使用。

At the end of last year, our customers just 2 . We had to make the painful decision to 3 our office and put our house up for 4 . We haven’t lived in it for two years yet and expected it would be the 5 one for a long time. How 6 this world economic mess is changing our lives!

Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got married.
They had only a small flat to live in, but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money.
Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband:
“Joe, , I’ve found a pupil, a general’s daughter. She is a sweet girl. I’m to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson.”
But Joe was not glad.
“But how about me?” he said.” Do you think I’m going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money too.”
“Joe, , you are silly,” said Delia. “You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week.”
“Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe.
Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired.
“Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough. But the general is the nicest old man! I wish you could know him, Joe.”
And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket.
“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria,” he said, “and he has ordered another.”
“I’m so glad,” said Delia. “Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. We’ll have a good supper tonight.”
Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage.
“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said:
“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?”
“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?”
“Five o’clock, I think. The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?”
“Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her.
“What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lesson? Tell me the truth.”
She began to cry.
“I couldn’t get any pupils,” she said, “So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasn’t giving music lessons?”
“It’s very simple,” said Joe. “I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work.”
“And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?”
“Well, your general with his Clemantina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria.”
And then they both laughed.

BUKHANNON, West Virginia—Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two-mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident．
Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates（最新报道）on the rescuers’ progress．
The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families weren’t informed of the accident until about 10 a．m-more than three hours after it happened．“It’s very upsetting, but you’ve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine．
The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine’s entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal Group．
At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p．m．Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later．
He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years．The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each．The company has not released the names of the miners．
The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect （remove） the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that．“ We don’t want to be energizing anything if it’s in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said．
The cause of the explosion was not immediately known．High levels of carbon monoxide were discovered shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided（减退）, authorities said．
【小题1】According to the passage, we can infer that ________．
| A．all the miners who were trapped underground were still alive |
| B．communication with the trapped miners was cut off |
| C．the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same time |
| D．the rescue started as soon as the accident happened |
| A．1,000 feet | B．2,400 feet | C．1,200feet | D．4,800feet |
| A．In a magazine． | B．In a newspaper． |
| C．In a science book．． | D．On an advertisement． |
