题目内容
Laura
The smile is in the eyes. This is a sensitive person, and a loyal friend. This sort of person thinks before they speak and is a good listener. They don't like to be the center of attention of a crowd.
Peter
This type of person is very sure of themselves. They like a good argument. They usually win. They're hard-working and very ambitious. And they can be quite bossy (爱指挥人的).
Lucy
This is the smile of a joker. The raised eyebrows and dimples (酒窝) in the cheeks show a good sense of humor and a warm personality. This sort of person is often a bit of a rebel---they have little respect for authority.
Bill
The wide, toothy smile shows that this person is easy-going and friendly. They enjoy being in a crowd and are good fun to go out with. They are always looking for the next party. This is a smile that says, "I know it all."

(1) 细节理解题。根据对四个人的描述,再对照照片,可以找到以下关键点:由the smile of a joker, raised eyebrow and dimples可知,第一幅图片对应Lucy;由toothy smile可知,第二幅图片对应Bill。故选D。 (2) 词义猜测题。由此词后的一句"they have little respect of authority"可知,这种人架鹜不驯,不惧权威,故可推知rebel此处意为"具有反叛思想的人"。 (3) 推理判断题。根据Lucy的性格a bit of a rebel及Peter的性格like a good argument可知,Lucy和Peter是最容易与别人发生争吵的人。 (4) 推理判断题。如果你想改变害羞内向的性格,一个外向的朋友更有可能帮助你活跃起来。根据Bill的性格特点easy-going, friendly, enjoy being in a crowd等可知,Bill是最适合的人选。 (5) 主旨大意题。四幅照片以及对四个人的描述都是从笑容的角度分析的,故A项最能概括主题。 |

I was so ____5____ of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could ____6____ wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to ____7____ the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a ____8____:“To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so ____9____. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could ____10____ lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I'll get you one.” was my husband's ____11____.
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could ____12____ this expensive gift.
Of course, the ____13____ awoke, and my son was thrilled(激动)with my reaction. Many kisses were ____14____ , and I immediately wanted him to ____15____ my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not ____16____ what I was expecting. Then I ____17____ that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother ____18____ on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

I thought you'd love to ____20____ this story.
Yours,
Hilary
