5．First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates：Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome inevitable difficulties with determination and courage．
The first lady told the 170graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements．While her success in college and law school led to a high-profile（備受矚目） job，she said，she ended up leaving to focus on public service．
"My message to all of you today is this：Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream，"she said．"It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy…and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA（成績）．"
She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago．"My No.1goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me，"she said．"I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement．A place where academic success wouldn't make me a target of teasing or bullying，but instead would be a badge of honour．"But Mrs．Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities．"Unfortunately，schools like this don't exist for every kid，"she said．"You are lucky．"
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers，and that how they respond to any difficulties will define them．"That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times，"she said．"But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself a position where you might fall．"
Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark（特征） of many great people，she said．"There's this guy Barack Obama…h(huán)e lost his first race for Congress，and now he gets to call himself my husband．"The first lady joked："I could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures．"

78．D 細節(jié)理解題．定位文章第四段，第一夫人提到她想去一個歌頌成績的地方，在那里，學術成功不會使我成為戲弄或欺負的對象，而是榮譽的象征．緊接著她又說"Unfortunately，schools like this don't exist for every kid"，she said．"You are lucky"．不是所有的學校都是那樣，你們很幸運，言外之意，Tennessee High School 是一所注重學術成功的學校，可知答案．
79．A  細節(jié)理解題．在文章的第五段"That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times，"she said．"But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself a position where you might fall"，她告訴畢業(yè)生們，失敗也許是他們大學生活和職業(yè)生涯的一部分，未來取決于他們?nèi)绾蚊鎸щy和錯誤，可知答案．
80．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark（特征） of many great people，she said．"There's this guy Barack Obama…克服困難是很多偉人的特征，接下來她就列舉了奧巴馬的例子．說明她提到奧巴馬主要是為了舉例說明．

點評 本題主要考查學生對文章的細節(jié)理解能力，該題型主要測試學生對文章（或某一段落）中某一些特定細節(jié)或文章的重要事實的辨認能力，分直接辨認和間接辨認兩種．直接辨認細節(jié)型一般只要求學生能從閱讀材料中直接獲取、記住信息，然后能快速地將他們回憶出來；而間接辨認型不僅要求讀者能從閱讀材料中直接獲取信息，還要將獲得的信息進行各種轉換，為閱讀材料中某些詞匯、短語及句型等找到正確的英語釋義．

16．I'm lying on my back in my grandfather's orchard （果園），looking up at the branches above me．It is one of the last days of summer．Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler．Some kinds of apples are already ripe（成熟的）．Others will be ready to pick soon．I think of my grandmother's apple pie，and how I used to make it with her．She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie ever since．I really miss her．I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers．The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep．
The sky is as blue as my grandfather's eyes．Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind．School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down．
"Sophie!"calls my grandfather．"Is that you？"I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard．We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma．He tells me that he misses her too．
He puts his rough，brown farmer's hand around my shoulder and pulls me close．"You know，Sophie，"he says，"I spent the morning in the attic（閣樓），and you'll never guess what I found．It's the recipe（烹飪法） for Grandma's apple pie．I used to help her make it sometimes．I can't do it all alone，but you used to help her too．Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out．Want to try？"
"But it won't be the same without Grandma，"I tell him．
"That's true，"he says，"but nothing is the same without Grandma．Still，I don't think that she would want us never to have another apple pie．What do you say？"I nod yes，and we walk towards home…towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandma's famous apple pie．

10．When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation．I suggested that they should stay at"bed and breakfast"houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories．
"We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，"they said，"because we found that most families were away on holiday．"
I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English，and they thought"VACANCIES"meant"holidays"，because the Spanish word for"holidays"is"vacaciones"．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said"VACABCUES"，which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said"NO VACANCIES"，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result，they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish，the word"DIVERSION"means fun．In English，it means that workmen are repairing the road，and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word'DIVERSION'on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun．Instead，the road ended in a large hole．
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I said"Thank you"in French．I meant that I would like some more．However，to my surprise，the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that"Thank you"in French means"No，thank you．"
61．My Spanish friends wanted advice aboutD．
A．learning English                      B．going to England by car
C．driving their car on English roads        D．finding places to stay in England

A．it would be convenient for them to have dinner

63．"NO VACANCIES"in English meansA．
A．no free rooms                         B．free rooms

17．My grandmother often said to me，"You can count the number of your true friends on the fingers of one hand．"For a long time I thought this was true．However，I've now discovered my grandmother was only half right．Maybe we do only make a few"best"friends in our lifetime，but those aren't the only people that we can call friends．There are many different types．Let me tell you about a few of them．
One type of friends is the type I call the"football mom friend"．My neighbor Sally is a good example．We both have kids who play football in a football club，and someone has to take them to practice and pick them up．Sally and I and two other mothers take turns to do this．We meet sometimes and have tea and talk about what our kids are doing，but those are the only times that we meet each other．I enjoy being with these women，but we don't do anything else together．
Another type is called the"hobby friend"．That's the person you share an interest or a hobby with．Michael and Cater，who are brothers，are a good example of this type．We're all in a bird watching club．Every few weekends the members of the club go on a trip to watch different kinds of birds．There's nothing romantic（浪漫的）about my relationship with Michael and Cater，of course．We just share interest in birds．
Then there's the"other half of the couple"type of friends．Jim is married to Rose，a friend that I've known since college．When Rose married Jim，I realized that I would have to be Jim's friend if I want to continue to be Rose's．Jim and I don't share so many interests，but we do have a friendly relationship．

A．We need true friends in our lifetime．
B．We have few best friends in our lifetime．
C．We should make new friends．
