7．I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly．
This year，a very sweet old lady that I cared for，Alice，had gone through a difficult time．She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice．In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home"．
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days．When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen，she was very sad．Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy，I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve，I gave her a surprise by asking if she could like to go to a candlelight service at church that night
Instead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were．We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in．Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her．
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there．
The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift：the smile on Alice's face

分析 本文大意：我看护的一个老太太生病住院了两次，她认为她的女儿会在圣诞节来看望她，但在圣诞节后来看她的消息没有让她开心．在圣诞前夕，我以问她是否想那晚在教堂来个烛光礼拜的方式给她个惊喜，我带她去了她所有朋友都在的那个老社区，不久一些她的朋友就来了，跑过来向她问候并和她坐在一起．这个故事的真相是我是收到最好礼物的人，艾丽丝脸上的微笑．

解答 25-28 CBCA
25．答案 C 推断题．划线词所在句"She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice．"句意为"她得了 _____ 所以她去了两次医院"，由此可推知，"dementia"应是一种疾病，所以她才去医院治疗．故正确答案为C．
26：答案 B 细节题．由倒数第三段第一句"Instead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were．"可知，作者把老人带到了她的 old neighborhood church．故正确答案为B．
27：答案 C 细节题．由最后一段中的"I am the one who got the best gift：the smile on Alice's face"可知，作者得到的最好礼物是 Alice 洋溢在脸上的微笑，即 Alice 的快乐是作者得到的最好礼物．故正确答案为C．
28：答案 A  主旨题．文章主要讲述了作者在平安夜帮助一位老人获得快乐的故事，"Christmas Eve"为全文主要线索，所以A项适合作为本文标题．B项，"所有孤独老人的梦想"，不符合文章主要内容，所以B项错误．C项，"我的特殊工作"，不能反映文章主要内容，所以C项错误．D项，"真正的爱"，不能反映文章主要内容，所以D项错误．故正确答案为A．

点评 英语记叙文以描写叙述为主，主要描写人物、事件、地点、或过程．特点是，其主题往往潜伏在字里行间，没有直接地表白出来；文章主旨要透过体察所揭示的人物、事件来进行提炼．描写手法大多按时间跨度、空间顺序、上下顺序来展开．阅读记叙文体应采取掠读和扫读的方法，快速抓住文中描写的主要内容，从整体上去把握文章的连贯性，进而大体上揣测出作者的写作意图及情感主线．高考阅读就记叙文设题大多以细节理解为主．

A row of cars appears to be stranded on a remote road，while a confused man on the left of the photo looks to be checking a roadside map while he calls for help．

But these potentially（44）A shots，taken near Amsterdam，are the first time that the lens（镜头） has been turned on the Google company and its black cars．

2．High school is not just about the classes you take．Look around and discover other ways to make high school meaningful．
Follow your interests．
Do you like taking pictures？Try the photojournalism club，or work for your school's newspaper．Are you interested in sports but not very athletic？Think about being a team manager or keeping statistic（统计）．Do you enjoy playing an instrument？Join your middle school band．If your school doesn't have a club that fits what you're interested in，find a teacher who'll sponsor a group or start one for yourself!Good memories of middle school include activities as well as academics．
Contribute to your community by volunteering．
Your assistance will help others and make you feel good，too．Organizations which are in need of volunteers constantly include：area food banks，children's shelters，hospitals，nursing and retirement homes，museums，and your community library etc．
Extracurricular（课外的） activities are important to your future．
How you use your free time is important to high schools，universities，and even employers．Choose activities you enjoy and select the ones that match your interests．Your goal is to show that your interests extend beyond sitting on the couch and watching television，or playing video games when the school day ends-lazy bones doesn't look good on a resume（简历）．So get up and get moving．Discover what your school and your neighborhood have to offer．
Keep track of all your activities throughout middle school and high school．

12．When I was 10 years old，I tried out for the cheerleading squad．I had taken gymnastics classes for two years to prepare for these tryouts．However，I didn't make the team．It was a heavy blow to me．I cried all night．
Kids today won't experience that kind of rejection．They're growing up in"everybody gets a turn"world where every child gets a chance to kick the ball，sing the song，and win the award．But that's not always such a good thing．
Parents have become fearful of letting kids fail，thinking that our children are easily hurt and will never recover from anything-that's a serious problem．Last week，my 7-year-old daughter didn't get into the school play．At first，I was upset by it．How would she react？When I gave her the news，I was ready to hug her and cry with her．She looked at me，made a slight face and said，"That's too bad．What's for dinner？"
It clearly wasn't the end of her world．Maybe if we let our kids experience rejection once in a while，we'd realize they are much stronger than we think．Kids need to be able to handle disappointments； doing so helps them to prepare for real life．Most importantly，rejection carries the possibility not only for growth and can also motivate kids to try harder the next time．
Rejection is pain．There is no way around that．How will our kids ever discover their true talents if we don't let them？Instead of complaining，maybe we should consider rejection an opportunity．

24．The author shared her childhood story with readers toC．
A．show how her parents attached importance to her education
B．suggest how difficult it was for her to join a cheerleader squad
C．introduce the topic of how to let kids face rejection in life
D．explain why children are easily hurt in the process of their growth
25．When failing to get into the school play，the author's 7-year-old daughterD．
A．felt greatly disappointed              
B．was upset about it
C．cried all night                      
D．thought nothing of it

B．is good for the growth of the children

27．What is important when we face rejection according to the last paragraph？A
A．Attitude．
B．Interest．
C．Health．
D．Memory．
19．It does not matter who wins．We are told that from day one．Usually，that statement is followed by some remark about being a loser．If we do not care who wins，then why do we compete？Fun，experience，the chance to meet new people---these are the reasons we try to outdo each other．
       People will compete over anything．Every Christmas，my neighbors and I have a little Christmas light competition．It is heaven for the electric company，but I think we give Will Rogers Airport a scare．It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards．I admit that last year my neighbors won，but only because they bought every strand of lights Wal-Mart had before I could get there．
Personal competitions are great，but we get a little carried away．I cannot stand to see coaches shout at kids playing sports．Who cares if someone messes up and the other team advances？
       I'm tired of people competing just to win．It happens not only in sports，but in music competitions，too．People auditioning（试音）for chair placement in certain bands can get really unfriendly．This year I did not audition for a certain band，but I went to auditions anyway．This was the first time I actually had the opportunity to comprehend the whole picture．
       Other times I've been the person who was nervous and anxious．This time，I sat back and observed everyone else．I came to the realization that the people who aren't so good are terrified of the good people，and the good people are scared stiff that the bad people have taken lessons and can now show them up．Unless a person is on the outside looking in，I don't think anyone realizes this．
       Maybe competing is human nature，but we shouldn't let it influence our judgment．Being disrespectful to opponents（对手），letting competition become our life，and becoming so involved that we close ourselves off from friends and family is not the meaning of competition．
       A little competition is healthy，so it shouldn't hurt anyone．If it does，someone somewhere needs to back off，find the good thing hidden inside，and try it again．Winning isn't everything，and losing isn't the end of the world．
 
63．The author mentions his competition with his neighbors toD．
A．make excuses for his failure                        
B．express his concern about the airport
C．imply his neighbor cheated in the competition
D．show people really care about the result of competition
64．The underlined word"this"in Paragraph 5 refers toD．
A．the rules of competition                    
B．competitors'effort to win   
C．the influence of competition on life
D．the negative attitude to competition        
65．From the passage，we can learn thatB．
A．the author failed the audition
B．competitors may be unfriendly to each other
C．it is coaches who always mess up the match
D．those who observe opponents calmly always win
66．Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept？C
A．Competition for the job is fierce．
B．Winning or losing is none of people's concern．
C．Competition is healthy，but it can get out of hand．
D．The disadvantages of competition outweigh the benefits．
16．     that they will invite me there，I'm going to buy them some gifts．（　　）
A．ProvideB．ProvidingC．Being providedD．Having provided
17．Tom was caught cheating in an important exam．_____，he lost a golden chance of taking part in this competition．（　　）
A．ConsequentlyB．ActuallyC．SurprisinglyD．Obviously
