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!

分析 本文介绍了我所度过的一个特别的圣诞节，我的弟弟从医院康复回家了，给我带来了很多的快乐，虽然我用来装礼物的袜子是空的，但是里面充满了幸福．

解答 56：A 细节题．根据第二段第一句On September 11 th，1 958，Mum gave birth to Richard．说明妈妈生下来弟弟，故A正确．
57：D 推理题．根据本句I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded Ominous．"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"都是用来形容弟弟的，真是让人害怕，故D项正确．
58：C 推理题．根据第四段最后一句As he spoke，his eyes filled with tears． I'd never seen him cry before．爸爸哭了说明他很难受，故C正确．
59．B 推理题  根据妈妈说I promised you a gift，and here it is．可知，给作者的礼物是小弟弟，但弟弟生病后，有可能今年的"礼物"就没有了，可以推知，此处礼物指的是The reunion of the family，家人的团圆，故答案为B
60．C 主旨大意题   文章开头One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．已经点明主题，而礼物没有包装，且是完全康复的弟弟自然是特殊的礼物了，故答案为C

Some jobs were more interesting than others，and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones．When giving them out，the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year．During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instructions perfectly．All the children knew Rita would be given the best job．
But there was a big surprise．Each child received a normal job．But Rita's job was very different．She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant．Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special，Rita felt disappointed．Most of her classmates felt sorry for her．Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet．However，Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest．
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food，and it grew quite a bit bigger．
One day，a man，who looked very important，came into their classroom and declared，"Your class has been chosen to accompany me，this summer，on a journey to the tropical rainforest，where we will investigate all kinds of insects．Among all the schools of this region，your class has best cared for the little ant．"

Chang's talent was at last recognized in 2002 by the Decca Record Company．When she was offered a contract she burst into tears．Two years later Chang，21，is a star．With the release of her debut album"Over the Rainbow"this year，she won the"Most Promising New Artist in Taiwan"at the CCTV-MTV Music Awards in July．In September she won the"Best New Artist"in the Fourth Chinese Music Billboard Awards．
"You just can't believe that such an amazingly powerful voice comes from such a small body，"said musicians after hearing Chang sing"Over the Rainbow．""It's such a special voice．You cannot forget it．"Chang can hit very high motes（高音）clearly and beautifully．
Her tunes make Chang stand out from the numerous newcomers in the music world．But mainland fans also know her for her girl-next-door performances in Taiwanese TV dramas，"My MVP Valentine"and"At Dolphin Bay"．
But few people know that while filming her first TV series，Chang acted so badly that the director wanted to fire her．At one time it took her a record of 27 attempts to shoot one scene．
"I cried my heart out when I went back home．"Change said，"But I know that defeat is often a temporary condition．By giving up you remain defeated．"

17．It all started when I was 11 years old．I had just moved schools．Everything was all right at the beginning．I even made a few friends．
A few months later，however，the school decided to make a completely new class in order to make the classes smaller，because it helped with learning and avoiding bullying（恃强凌弱）．Then I was chosen to be moved from my old class to the new one．At first，it was fine．Everyone ignored me，but I was happy to be left alone．Then it started．One day after school，a few people from my new class came up to me．

18．C2（第三、四层次学校的学生做此题）
We lived nearby a hospital and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients from the hospital．
As I was preparing supper one summer evening，there was a knock at the door．I opened it to see a truly terrible-looking man--no taller than my eight-year-old son．But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling．He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success．"I guess it's my face…，but my doctor says with a few more treatments …"
I told him we would find him a bed．When I had finished the dishes，he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter，her five children，and her husband，who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury．He didn't tell it by way of complaint； in fact，every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing．He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease，which was apparently a form of skin cancer．
Before he left for his bus the next day，he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment．I told him he was welcome to come again．In the years he came to stay overnight with us，there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden．
When I received these little gifts，I often thought of a comment our neighbor made after he left that first morning．"Did you keep that terrible-looking man last night？I turned him away．You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!"Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice．But oh!If only they could have known him，perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear．I know our family always will be grateful to have known him； from him we learned what it was to accept the bad and the good as well．

58．When I met the man for the first time，C．
A．he needed something to eat          
B．my kid was frightened by him
C．he wanted a place to stay overnight

A．He had skin cancer．
B．God helped him to recover．
C．He supported a large family by fishing．
D．He didn't complain about his difficulties．
61．The man feltC to life．
A．passive   
B．confident   
C．grateful  
D．regretful
62．What might be the best title of the passage？B
A．Never judge a book by its cover     
B．Give others a hand
