13．The situation at Omaha Beach was so bad _______ the soldiers succeeded in landing on the beach with a lot of people losing their lives．（　　）
A．thatB．enoughC．onceD．when

分析 奥马哈海岸的情况非常糟糕，当士兵们成功登陆海岸的时候，很多人都失去了生命．

解答 答案：D．根据选项 so…that…如此…以至于…； adj+enough to do sth．如此…以至于…； once 一旦；when当…时；再结合句意，当士兵们成功登陆海岸的时候，很多人都失去了生命，奥马哈海岸的情况非常糟糕．可知此处不是运用"如此…以至于…"，缺少了一个引导时间状语从句的连接词"当…时"，故D正确．

点评 状语从句的考查也是集中在连接词的考查方面，要注意各连接词语义的差别以及在句中的成分．

3．Having experienced a shocking electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，James Franco's world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．
One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20minutes later，lying face down in muddy water．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a tree and a muddy road．When Mrs．Franco came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．
The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a compelling answer as to why this should happen．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．

A．Lying on the ground          B．Putting an end to his life
C．Taking a walk with a stick   D．Sheltering from the rain under a tree
53．What does the underlined word"compelling"in paragraph 3mean？B
A．wrong   B．convincing   C．unexplained   D．better

4．It's still there，the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go．Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence，the school I knew ten years ago remains the same．
      Every day at 5 p．m．，instead of flying kites with our friends，my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school．No amount of kicking，screaming，or arguing could stop my mother，who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture．She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long，hilly blocks from our home to school，leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school．
    We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room，which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time．I hated that smell．There was a stage far to the right，with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side．
      Although the school mainly taught language----speaking，reading，dictation----the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness．With the entrance of the teacher，the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up，and say in Vietnamese，"How are you，teacher？"
      The language always made me embarrassed．More often than not，I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area．The voice belonged to my grandmother，a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street．Her Vietnamese was quick，it was loud，and it was not beautiful．
      In our area，the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy．I did not want to be thought of as being mad，as talking stupid．When I spoke English，people nodded at me，smiled and encouraged me．Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life．
My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English．He was especially cruel towards my mother，scolding her for her poor English．Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation．
After two years of struggle，I finally divorced my culture．I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school．I thought of myself as American．At last，I thought I was one of you； I wasn't one of them．
 Sadly，I am only an American．

1．Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist，best known for her children's books featuring animal characters such as in the children's classic--The Tale of Peter Rabbit．
Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters．During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District．It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife．She studied the area's natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously．But her old-fashioned，Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement，thinking it inappropriate for a young lady．However，her study and water color paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology．
 In her 30's，Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid's book，The Tale of Pew Rabbit．Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne．This caused a great disagreement with her parents，who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status．Sadly，Warne died before the marriage ceremony．
Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating （绘图） kid's books full-time．Using profits from her books，Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District．She extended the property with additional purchases of neighboring land over time．In her 40's，Beatrix married William Heelis，a local lawyer．She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children．In all，she authored 23 publications．
Beatrix died on December 22，1943，and left the majority of her property to the National Trust．Her books carry on selling well globally，in many different languages．Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet，movies，and cartoons．
    Such is her reputation，and that of the characters from her publications，that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created．These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collects and fans of her literature throughout the world．

8．One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包装）．
On September 11th，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying．"I promised you a gift，and here it is．"What an honor!None of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however，I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year．"Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke，his eyes were filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say．"What？He's all right？"He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God．'"I heard Mum cry．
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home．I ran downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty； they were filled with love!

2．A lot of us lose life's battles by starting a frontal （正面的） attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of Sam，who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum （最后通牒） about being late．Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that the by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer．His boss was probably preparing a dismissal （解雇） speech．
Yes，the boss was．Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room．Everyone was hard at work．Sam's boss came up to him．Suddenly，Sam forced a smile and stretched out his hand．"How do you do!"he said，"I'm Sam Maynard．I'm applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago．Does the early bird get the worm？"
The room exploded in laughter．The bossclamped off a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win a laugh．
Humor is a very effective means of handling the difficult situations in our life．It can be used for apologizing，saying"no"，getting someone to do what you want．For some jobs，it's the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogues may start a quarrel．For example，many believe that comedians （喜剧演员） on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other public places．

A．Because he didn't like the job．
B．Because he got up late．
