3.When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you?Not someone you knew,but a total stranger?It's happened to me a few times,but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago,I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself,completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasn't my friend's talks that made me suffer.I was recovering from a broken heart,and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check,the waitress said,"Your meal was already paid for."My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened.Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye.He was dressed in mostly white,sat down at the bar,had a beer,and stayed for maybe ten minutes.The waitress said,"Yes,the gentleman in white paid for you."It felt like an angel was saying,"I see you,honey.It's going to be okay."
Just last year,I was running a halfmarathon.With just 1 mile to go,I was out of gas.Runners call it"hitting the wall".I thought I couldn't move another inch.Out of nowhere,a strang er came up to me and said,"What's your name,sweetie?Jennifer?Okay,Jennifer,let's go!Come on!It's just around the corner!You can do it!"And he ran with me until I picked up my pace.I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need.Do you have any experiences like these?

A.The kindness of strangers                
B.Valuable friendship

分析 作者通過她在飯店吃飯時的一次經(jīng)歷及跑馬拉松的一次經(jīng)歷,告訴我們,陌生人對她的幫助和鼓勵,能驅(qū)散她心中的陰霾,令她精神振奮.在她需要幫助的時候,陌生人對她伸出了援手,這令她感覺那些陌生人就是天使.

解答 1.A.推理推斷題.文章第一段便是文章的主題,句中的something unexpectedly nice for you則說明了作者想在下文中談的內(nèi)容,由此可知答案選A項.
2.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye.He was dressed in mostly white,sat down at the bar,had a beer,and stayed for maybe ten minutes.The waitress said,"Yes,the gentleman in white paid for you."可知穿白色衣服的人是一個熱心又慷慨的人;故選C.
3.D.詞義猜測題.從前面一句:I was out of gas.及后面一句:I thought I couldn't move another inch.可以推知.作者當時是跑馬拉松的,她說她out of gas應該是指她如同一輛汽車沒油了,而后面一句說她一步也跑不動了,可以確認此處是說她沒有精力再跑下去了.因此選D.
4.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day可知馬拉松賽跑中的陌生人只是一個路過的陌生人;故選D.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

13.A new eight-kilometre road is under construction that links the port area with the motorway system.It is expected to carry 20,000trucks and cars a day,which greatly reduces the overcrowded traffic in the center of the city.As part of the project,two four-kilometre road tunnels are being built below the central area of the city,one for traffic to the north and the other for traffic to the south.The two tunnels are about 20metres below the surface and are 12metres wide,providing for two lanes of traffic in each direction.
In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel.The lighting is at the top of the tunnel,practically at its highest point.There will also be electronic signs at frequent intervals (間隔).They show traffic conditions ahead,and can be seen clearly by drivers.The wall is made up of four main elements,which include a waterproofing covering and,on the inside of the tunnel,a concrete lining (混凝土襯砌).
Each tunnel is roughly round and the lower part of the tunnel is somewhat flat.The surface of the road lies on the base,which is made of concrete and steel.The drainage system (排水系統(tǒng)),just below the road surface on one side,removes any extra liquid,particularly water.In the event of fire,the fire main,which is made of steel,pipes water to many fire hydrant stations at regular intervals along the length of the tunnel.The fire main is at the side of the tunnel,and at the level of the road surface.Other systems in the tunnel will include emergency phones.
28.Each of the tunnels under construction isD.
A.eight kilometers long and twelve metres wide    
B.eight kilometers long and six metres wide
C.four kilometers long and twelve metres wide     
D.four kilometers long and six metres wide
29.Which part of the tunnel in the diagram is used to pipe out extra water?C
A.1           
B.3            
C.5         
 D  6
30.Driving in the tunnel,one can know the traffic conditions ahead throughB.
A.the lights
B.the electronic signs
C.the trucks and cars 
D.the emergency phones
31.The passage is mainly aboutD.

11.Dear Ms.Wang,
I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.
I've decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course.I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them.
So next academic year,Term 1will be like always:sentences to paragraphing.And Term 2will work toward the 5-paragraph essay.The final 3weeks of Term 2will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE.By that time,if the students have done their job correctly,then they should be able to write quite well.
As for the Latin course,I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what's on offer before I actually introduce the course.A number of students already emailed me about the course.
I am sure you don't understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is.People around the world are interested in what we plan to do.There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course.Please share what I have said with the administration.I want them to understand the importance of this course.The reason why,I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself.I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin,they are going to be amazed.It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of to knock on.
Well,that's it for now.I'll see you soon.
Yours,
Edward Johnson

18.When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West,you often see a lot of people walking dogs.(61)It is still true that a dog is (62)the most useful(use) and faithful animal in the world.(63)But the reasons why people keep a dog (64)have changed(change).In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against animal attacks.And later they came (65)to realize(realize) that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master.For example,when people used dogs for hunting,the dogs would not eat (66)whatthey caught without (67)permission(permit).But now people in the city need not protect (68)themselves(they) against attacks of animals.
Why do they keep dogs,then?Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery.But the most important reason is for companionship.For (69)achild,a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with.For a young couple,a dog is their child when they have (70)nochildren.For old couples,a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up.So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
