12.Linda Evans was my best friend-like the sister I never had.We did everything together:piano lessons,movies,swimming,horseback riding.
    When I was 13,my family moved away.Linda and I kept in touch through letters,and we saw each other on special time-like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda's.Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,and we wrote less often.One day a card that I sent came back,stamped"Address (地址) Unknown."I had no idea how to find Linda.
    Over the years,I missed Linda very much.I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren.And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died.There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
    One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman-Linda's married name."There must be thousands of Wagmans,"I thought,but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter."Mrs Tobin!"she said excitedly,"Linda Evans Wagman is my mother."
    Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much,even after 40 years,laughed and cried and caught up on each other's lives.Now the empty place in my heart is filled.And there's one thing that Linda and I know for sure:We won't lose each other again!

分析 这篇短文讲述的是作者和最好的朋友Linda一生的友谊.作者和Linda从小一起长大,后来作者搬家了,但是他们一直保持着联系.后来他们都结婚生子,渐渐的联系少了,到后来就完全失去了联系.作者心里一直想着Linda,想能够再次和她相见.后来作者偶然在报纸上见到了Linda的女儿,从而见到了Linda,两个老朋友时隔多年又再次相见了.

解答 21.D.细节理解题.开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等,但后来在作者13岁的时候,作者一家搬走了,两人只能通过书信联系.比较四个选项,显然只能选D.
22.B.细节理解题.根据文章第2段中的Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,and we wrote less often 根据文可知,她们之所以没经常写信,是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子,又要搬新家,也就是说,她们没有时间写信;故选B.
23.D.细节理解题.根据文章第3段内容There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill可知作者心灵空虚是因为没有linda那样的朋友,故选D. 
24.B.推理判断题.真正让作者感到高兴的是当她在电话上听到老朋友Linda的声音的时候.而读到报纸的时候和写信的时候都还只是在猜测,那时还谈不上高兴;故选B.
25.A.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段中的Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much,even after 40 years…可知,在时隔40 年后,作者又听到了Linda的声音,由此我们可以推测,他们两人已经大约40年没有联系了.故选A.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

20.The holiday's upon us.After months of study,you have some time to yourself.So,why not read a book?Well,some people will say,‘Why trouble with books?We have the Internet and other media (61)that offer a lot more(62)colorful(colour) programs.Books are history!"But don't be fooled.There's still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection(63)ofwords and expressions,so long as you have a good dictionary,of course.Believe me,it's far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article(64)than it is from the TV or the Internet.
But an even more important point is (65)thatbooks give you something that modern media simply can not:The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.Though"easy"may be welcome,(66)unluckily (luck) it's of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level.For that,there's still no substitute for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply(67)choosing (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself (68)means(mean) that it's something you do by and for yourself.You can choose what you want to read.It's hard work,(69)butwhile you are reading,you'll find that what once (70)seemed(seem) like a duty is now a pleasure.
17.On a Sunday morning I was running and noticed a person in front of me.I could (41)Ahe was running a little slower than and decide to try to (42)Dhim.I had about a kilometer to go on the road before (43)C
So I started running faster and every block I was(44)Aon him just a little bit.After just a few minutes,I was only about 100yards (45)Dhim.So I(46)Dthe pace and pushed myself.You would have thought I was running in the(47)Apart of a marathon.
Finally I caught up with him and (48)Bhim by.On the inside I felt so good.I"beat"him,(49)he didn't even know we were(50)A
After I passed him.I (51)Dthat I had been so focused on competing against him that I had (52)my turn,had gone nearly six blocks past it and had to turn around and go (53)B.
Isn't that what happens in life when we (54)Con competing with co-workers,neighbors,friends,trying to outdo them or trying to prove we are more successful or more (55)D?We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss our own(56)A
The (57)Bwith unhealthy competition is that it is a never ending circle.There will always be somebody(58)Cyou,someone with a better job,more money in the bank,more education,better behaved children,etc.
Take what life has given you,and you will be(59)Cby it.Stay focused and live a healthy life.There is no(60)Bin destiny(命运).Run your own race and wish others well.

7.Once,in a tiny village,lived a family with eight children.Two of the children loved (36)Dvery much,but the family was so poor that they couldn't send (37)Cof them to study at the art academy.After many discussions,the two boys finally(38)Ca plan.They would toss(抛)a coin.The (39)A would go down into the mines and,with his earnings(工资)(40)C his brother attending the academy.Then,when the brother (41)A the toss completed his studies,after four years,he would support the other brother at the(42)C,either with sales of his artwork or by(43)Din the mines.
John won the toss and Albert went down into the mines.John worked very hard and his paintings were far(44)Bthan those of most of his professors,and by the time he (45)A,he was beginning to get a lot of money (46)Chis works.
When John returned,the family held a great dinner to (47)D his triumphant homecoming(凯旋).Shortly after the meal began,John  (48)Cfrom his seat to drink a toast(举杯祝酒) to his beloved(深爱的)(49)B.He said,"Dear Albert,now you can go to pursue your(50)D and I will take care of you."
But Albert said (51)A,"Brother,It's too (52)A.The four years in the mines has done much too (53)Bto my hands!Now I cannot even hold a glass."

4.Life comes in  package.This package includes happiness and sorrow,failure and success,hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life,our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care,they teach us about what is right and wrong,good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived,but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and success
Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky,teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money,fame,pride and self-respect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to god for bestowing success on us is by being humble,modest,courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour,because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday,for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown,for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative s work hard today,so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
