When Joe was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. Yet things turned out to be quite 36 . The fourth grade even found him at the 37  of the class. Joe struggled day and night, but it did not 38  —until one stormy afternoon.
On that afternoon,   39 the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts, dark clouds
covered the sky, and the storm set in. Hard though she tried to make the kid,   40 , the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one  41 the concepts. Except for Joe. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it.   42 by his newfound success, Joe moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for 43 . All children naturally drew 44 pictures on such a day. Except for Joe.
Since then, Joe started 45 . Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always 46 and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Joe?
On the day Joe graduated, he presented the teacher with his most 47  possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Joe had written: This is the day I  48 my brightness.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Joe虽然曾是个好学生，但是突然情况急转直下，虽然他努力过，但是没有成效。一场雷雨却改变了Joe的学习轨迹。在别的同学不能集中注意力的情况下，Joe却掌握了老师讲的所有的概念，于是老师鼓励他给同学们讲解他是如何做到这一点的。在一个阴雨天，Joe却看到了希望的阳光，而充满阳光的画也成了他最珍贵的记忆。最后一段点出文章主旨大意。
小题1:利用上下文语境。根据上文all signs pointed to success, 和yet可知情况发生了变化，不是朝向成功的方向，而是令人失望，所以选择C。
小题2:利用上下文的语境。如果能确定36题答案，确定本题答案难度不大。因为情况是令人失望的，可知Joe的成绩在班里是排在最后，所以答案选择bottom, at the bottom of意为“在…底部”。
小题3:把握句内的逻辑关系。本句中Joe struggled day and night说明他很努力，后面的but提示虽然努力了，但是没有见效(work)，所以答案为B.
小题4:把握句子间的逻辑关系。本句中表达的是在数学老师解释概念的时候发生的事情，所以用as引导时间状语从句，所以选择as。
小题5:把握句子间的逻辑关系。根据the thunder won the battle for their attention可知雷声吸引了学生的注意力，也就是学生们不能集中注意 (concentrate)，所以答案选择A。
小题6:根据上下文推断。上句中说到学生不能把注意力集中在老师讲的内容上，所以没有人能够掌握那些概念。challenged挑战; grasped 掌握；doubted 怀疑；admitted 承认。根据上下文推断，答案为B。
小题7:根据生活常识和上下文推断。上句中提到只有Joe能正确回答这些问题，所以老师拍拍他的背，让他向同学解释他是怎样做到的。本句中说的是Joe受到鼓励，在教室里来回穿梭。由此确定答案为C。
小题8:根据上下文语境。下句中all children drew pictures可知数学课之后是美术课。所以答案为C。
小题9:根据上下文推断。在下一个段落中的the picture of a bright yellow sun，以及except for Joe可知别的孩子画的都是暗淡颜色的画，只有Joe的画是明亮的。bright是解题的关键，所以答案为B。
小题10:利用上下文的语境。本文在讲述Joe的转变过程。前面提到的是Joe 的成绩是disappointing，而这里在讲Joe开始转变，开始提高，所以选择A。
小题11:把握句内的逻辑关系。本题的解题关键是空后的连词and和curious, 根据and可知要填空的词和后面的curious同义概念的词，所以选择amazed，意为又吃惊又好奇，所以选择B。
小题12:利用上下文语境。做好本题的关键是通读全文，才能悟出答案的意义。这幅充满金色阳光的画，对于Joe 来讲是十分珍贵的，因为它改变了Joe的学习轨迹。所以答案为D。
小题13:利用上下文的语境。上文中已经谈到这幅画是Joe的珍藏，那么可知在图画上他所写的字是：这是我见到光明的日子。wake up to 意识到；put up with 忍受；get on with 和…友好相处；look down upon 看不起。鉴于此，答案为A。

When John Weston awoke that morning, he remembered that his mother was going into hospital. He hadn’t worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though that she hadn’t been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to an expert who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John’s father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. John’s cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn’t care much for it. Apart from missing his mother(and he was glad she was going away because they would make her better), he wasn’t very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.
小题1:Mrs Weston went to see her doctor_________.
A．as soon as she realized that something was wrong
B．only after her husband advised her to
C．a long time after the trouble began
D．when John asked what was wrong with her
小题2:what did Mrs Weston’s own doctor decide to do?
A．he decided to send her to hospital
B．he decided to get an expert to examine her
C．He decided to treat her himself
D．He advised her to wait for a few weeks.
小题3:how did John react to his mother’s bad temper?
A．he tried to imagine himself in her place.
B．He tried not to notice it.
C．He pretended that he had toothache.
D．He behaved himself as well as possible.
小题4:John regarded ______as most bad-tempered.
A．his fatherB．his motherC．his cousin MonaD．his aunt Daisy
Once upon a time there was a crook（骗子）who only thought about how to get money. What he hated most was when people were polite to each other, saying things like “please”, “thank you”, and “don’t mention it”.
The crook thought all those kinds of words were a waste, so he spent a lot of time inventing a machine which could steal words. With this machine, he planned to steal “please”, “thank you”, “don’t mention it”, and similar words people used to be polite. After he stole these words, he intended to take them apart and sell the letters to book publishers. After he started up his machine, people would open their mouths, intending to say kind and polite things, but nothing came out. All those words ended up inside the big machine.
The crook was happy with his success, but he didn’t count on (料想到)a couple of very special little girls. Those girls were deaf, and had to communicate with sign language. Because the machine couldn’t steal gestures, these girls continued being kind and polite. Soon they realized what had been happening to everyone else, and they found out about the crook and his plan. The girls followed him and found the machine busy separating all the words into letters. They approached the machine and started being polite to each other.
Try as it might, the machine couldn’t steal those words, and it started to suffer a power overload(超载). Finally, it exploded, sending all the letters it had gathered flying into the sky. These letters started coming down, like rain, and most ended up in the sea. After that, everyone could be polite again.
Seeing all those letters fall into the sea, those little girls had an idea. A little while later they opened a factory, making alphabetic spaghetti soup!

A．his machineB．moneyC．languageD．politeness
小题2:The crook spent a lot of time inventing a machine to ______.
A．publish booksB．steal words
C．write lettersD．make alphabetic soup
小题3:Why did the machine have no effect on the two girls?
A．Because they were kind and polite.
B．Because they were very clever.
C．Because the machine couldn’t steal gestures.
D．Because there was something wrong with the machine.
Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to   21  how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I   22   that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and   23  friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was   24  , nothing about my term in France was what I   25 .       
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was   26  by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting  27  I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（协调人）: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to   28  out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a   29  this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑) to   30 my native language, I asked not to be   31  with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I   32  myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人） the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the   33  .      
I left France with many   34  , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always   35  to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends   36  France we enjoyed together. I love how people   37  seem so different, but end up being so   38  . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people   39  to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠).
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full-time careers； both have published books, articles, and stories； each has three children； they both love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.
小题1:Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?
A．They both have gone through difficult times.
B．They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C．They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.
D．They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.
小题2:The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A．something rare but not pleasant
B．something that cannot be imagined
C．something expensive but not necessary
D．something that can only be enjoyed by boys
小题3: What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The content of the book.B．The purpose of the book.
C．The influence of the book.D．The writing style of the book.
小题4: How are women’s lives explored in this book?
A．In a musical form.B．Through field research.
C．With unique writing skills.D．From different points of view.
Fourteen is not an age at which you try to earn millions of dollars. But for Bangalore boy, Suhas Gopinath, it was.
One day in August, 1999, Suhas, studying at the Air Force School in Hebbal, was surfing the Net at a cyber cafe. He happened to hit an MSN source code （源码）. That made him decide to learn more about HTML （超文本标记语言） and to design and set up his own website under the address of a US-based company, Network Solutions.
He kept updating his website, posting interesting things on it. This impressed Network Solutions and they invited him to attend a class on Web design and development. His mom and uncle criticised him for not taking his education seriously. But gradually, his dad started encouraging him and even bought him a computer and Net connection. In fact, that was his first investment in the company.
On May 14, 2000, along with friends Clifford Leslie and Binay M. N, he floated （筹资开办） his own website — www.coolhindustani.com. He did not have the money to start, for his parents refused to give him a penny. So he wrote to Network Solutions Inc. in the US and they readily agreed.
In August, the same year, he set up Globals Inc., a Web solutions and networking company, with a team of four. Now, he has 400 employees, more than 200 customers across the globe and offices in 11 countries, and he is worth over $100 million.
After finishing his high school education, he studied at Stanford University for two years. But Suhas says: “Education alone will not make a good professional （专业人员）.”
小题1:When Suhas Gopinath was praised by Network Solutions, his mother ______.
A．felt proud of his success
B．forbade him to enter a cyber cafe
C．worried about his studies
D．wanted to buy him a computer
小题2:Suhas Gopinath’s website “coolhindustani” was supported by ______.
A．his parentsB．an American company
C．his uncleD．Stanford University
小题3:In which order did the following events happen?
a. Suhas was invited by Network Solutions to attend a class.
b. Suhas set up his first website.
c. Suhas set up Globals Inc.
d. Suhas went abroad for further education.
A．a-c-b-dB．b-a-d-cC．a-b-c-dD．b-a-c-d
小题4:What is TRUE about Globals Inc.?
A．It is a world-class company.
B．It is owned by Suhas and his two friends.
C．It is a branch of Network Solutions.
D．It earns about 100 million dollars each year.
