【題目】I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It struck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left. The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn’t have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”

試題分析:文章講述的是關(guān)于愛的傳遞的故事。作者見到一對(duì)老人非常恩愛,他被他們的愛感動(dòng)了,于是,作者替這對(duì)老夫婦付了賬。這對(duì)老夫婦得知后感到驚訝,并作出了同樣的事情。后來,老板娘被感動(dòng)了,她決定為作者買單。通過這個(gè)故事,作者想要表達(dá)的是愛可以在人與人之間傳遞,即使是陌生人。
【1】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.可知,作者剛剛結(jié)束了20年的婚姻,還沉浸在傷痛中,故選C。
【2】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other”和第三段“The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.”可知,那兩位老人感到驚訝的同時(shí),也感激作者的好意,他們于是做出了相同的事情——傳遞愛。故選B。
【3】D 主旨大意題。文章主要通過一件小事來說明愛的力量。作者幫一對(duì)恩愛的老夫婦付賬,之后,兩位老人做出了相同的事情,他們也想把愛傳遞給他人。作者通過描述一個(gè)有趣的經(jīng)歷來證明一個(gè)道理,愛是可以在人與人之間傳遞的,排除A、B;老夫婦和兩位年輕人并不是需要幫助,排除C;故選D。
【學(xué)法指導(dǎo)】
抓住文章主線和關(guān)鍵詞語,歸納文章中心
要注意不是所有的段落都有主題句,有時(shí)主題句暗含在句中。閱讀這樣的文章,就需要自己根據(jù)文章的細(xì)節(jié)來分析,概括出段落的主題,從而推導(dǎo)出文章的主旨。分析的方法是:先弄清該段落主要講了哪幾方面的內(nèi)容,這些內(nèi)容在邏輯上有什么聯(lián)系,然后加以歸納形成主題。比如第58小題D主旨大意題。文章主要通過一件小事來說明愛的力量。作者幫一對(duì)恩愛的老夫婦付賬,之后,兩位老人做出了相同的事情,他們也想把愛傳遞給他人。作者通過描述一個(gè)有趣的經(jīng)歷來證明一個(gè)道理,愛是可以在人與人之間傳遞的,排除A、B;老夫婦和兩位年輕人并不是需要幫助,排除C;故選D。

【題目】Every year seals would crowd ashore in Farne Island and give birth to their pups. Between early October and early December, 1,500 seal pups will be born. Almost half of them will not make it past the first three weeks of life.
“The pups have to stay out of the water for the first three weeks, when they have their white coat, which is not very waterproof,” explains the warden (監(jiān)察員),who spends nine months on the Island.
“But when you’re born in November on a rock in the North Sea, it’s a tough start to life,” he said. Storms often wash young pups into the water. And occasionally, young, inexperienced mothers abandon their pups and head out to sea.
“We lost 41% last year,” said David Steel, the National Trust’s head warden on the Farne Islands. “Mother Nature certainly keeps them in check.”
Despite the early challenges for every newborn seal, the population is healthily and slowly and steadily growing. There are almost 4,000 seals on a set of islands, which is named a Special Area of Conservation(SAC), meaning it is protected under EU regulations. This successful human safeguarding of the seals’ habitat is huge turnaround(轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)).
Just a few decades ago, the seal population was deliberately decimated. The animals used to be thought of as a threat to local fish stocks. During the late 1960s and 1970s, thousands of seals were shot in a cull(剔除)that aimed to protect the local fishing industry. According to the National Trust, between 1962 and 1983 approximately 2,000 adult females and 3,000 pups were shot.
But, as the fishing industry collapsed, it was gradually replaced by tourism. Today, several companies use fishing boats to take groups of people to visit the islands and admire the scenery, seabirds and, of course, the seals that make their homes in this bleakly beautiful place.
【1】In the first three weeks after they were born, almost half of the seal pups _______.
A. would be abandoned by their mothers
B. would be protected by the wardens
C. couldn’t live independently
D. would die mostly in the sea water.
【2】According to David Steel, death of so many pups________.
A. is a normal and natural phenomenon
B. is mainly caused by farmers’ killing
C. can be prevented efficiently by man
D. will be controlled by Mother Nature
【3】The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. increase B. kill C. reduce D. control
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Beautiful Farne Island
B. A Tough Beginning
C. How to Protect Grey Seals
D. Tourism or Fishing Industry

When I was in high school, I didn’t know anything about engineering. At that time, when the car I drove needed repairing, I was afraid to take it to the . Because honestly, the mechanic could have me an electric can opener and said, “This is part of your car and it’s -----pay me to fix it.” Then I wouldn’t have known any better.
At the end of my junior year of high school, I heard about a summer program to interest girls in engineering. The six-week program was free, and students were college credits and a dorm room at the University of Maryland. I applied to the program, not because I wanted to be an engineer, but because I was looking forward to and wanted to stay away from my parents for six weeks.
I was accepted to the program and I earned six engineering credits. The next year I entered the university as an engineering student. Five years later I had a degree and three good job offers.
I can’t help shaking I hear about studies that show women are when it comes to math. They imply that I am a little stupid. I’m not, but I know that if I hadn’t met with that summer program, I wouldn’t be an engineer.
When I was growing up, I was told,

【題目】The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home. According to the Coalition’s studies, of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homeless---and number is still growing. Since the late 1970s, fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退)have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and /or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest –growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much larger part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.
【1】The word “address” in the first line probably means“ ”.
A. talk about B. deal with
C. fight for D. write to
【2】How many people are homeless in the U.S. according to the Coalition studies?A.39% of the population.
B. 200 million people.
C. About 3 million people.
D. About one-fifth of the population.
【3】Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because .
A. they have no home addresses
B. they mostly have a drinking problem
C. they aren’t supported by government programs
D. they often don’t have enough work experience
【4】What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.. S.?
A. The passing of new housing laws.
B. The fast growth of family size.
C. the slow construction of houses.
D. the ever-rising price of housing.

【題目】Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of the greatest British writers. February 7 marked the 200th anniversary of his birthday. Yet for many, his language is old-fashioned and his stories often improbable. So why do so many people know and read Dickens today?
One reason is the British government’s insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Dickens is on every English literature school reading list.
His stories, though often long by today’s standards, are great moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.
Earlier this month, a ceremony was held in Portsmouth, where Dickens was born. Prince Charles said at the ceremony, “Dickens used his creative genius to campaign passionately for social justice… His characterization (人物刻畫) is as fresh today as on the day it was written.”
His books stand out from many other writers because of his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior. They are as true in the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century.
Readers have returned to Dickens’ books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times.
No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years. Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times.
As long as Dickens’s novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain’s best-loved writers.
【1】 In the article, the author intends to tell us ______.
A. why Dickens’ novels still appeal to readers in modern times
B. that Dickens’ works are no longer popular among young people
C. why the British government puts Dickens on school reading lists
D. that Dickens and Shakespeare’s works are required for study at school
【2】In Britain, people still read Dickens because of ______.
a) romance in his books
b) moral value in his books
c) his colorful characters
d) his insight into human nature
e) government education requirement
f) his prediction of the current economic crisis
A. abdf B. bcde C. bdef D. abed
【3】We can infer from the article that ______.
A. it’s better to read Dickens in time of difficulty
B. Dickens was a great social observer of his time
C. human nature seems worse during bad times
D. Dickens’s novels are short and easy to read
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Little Dorrit is one of Dickens’ best-known novels.
B. Dickens’ novels are of greater value during economic crisis.
C. Dickens’ works have gained more popularity than Shakespeare’s
D. Dickens’ novels are still of realistic significance to today’s world.
