【解析】（1）邏輯推理題。根據(jù)本段第一句: “我過去是一個非常自私的人, 但在過去的兩年里我真的變了�！贝丝仗庴w現(xiàn)出的正是變化后的結(jié)果, 那就是先考慮別人, 再考慮自己。所以選before在……之前。since自從; or或者; unless除非。
（2）邏輯推理題。根據(jù)in the past two years I have really changed可知作者現(xiàn)在正成為一個完全不同于過去的人。
（3）詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。此處change正好對應(yīng)著前面I have really changed。education教育; career職業(yè), 生涯; tour旅行。
（4）詞語辨析題。結(jié)合前面when I was at Palomar College可知作者起初的目標(biāo)應(yīng)是獲得學(xué)位(degree)。balance平衡; homework作業(yè); interest興趣。
（5）邏輯推理題。作者認(rèn)為自己比班里任何人都聰明, 所以從不和他們交談(talk)。而write寫信; lie說謊; report報告, 均不符合語境。
（6）邏輯推理題。通過此空后面的It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. 可知, 直到這學(xué)期結(jié)束時, 作者很孤單(lonely)。careful仔細(xì)的; curious好奇的; guilty有罪的。
（7）詞語辨析題。面對現(xiàn)狀, 作者嘗試了一個實驗(experiment)。argument爭論, 辯論; game游戲; defence保衛(wèi), 防御。只有C項符合語境。
（8）邏輯推理題。作者開始問周圍的人他們在做什么, 他們是否有一些作者可以幫助解決的麻煩事。這里選offer(樂意, 主動提議)主要是結(jié)合作者現(xiàn)在要改變, 以前不關(guān)心別人, 現(xiàn)在從關(guān)心周圍的人和事開始一句得出。而C項hesitate to do猶豫做; D項happen to do恰巧做, 不符合實際語境。
（9）詞語辨析題。這對于作者來說是一個很大的進(jìn)步(step), 因為下面說到年末, 她已經(jīng)交了一些朋友。A項dream夢想; B項problem問題; C項duty職責(zé), 責(zé)任。
（10）邏輯推理題。作者交了一些新朋友, 并且其中有兩個現(xiàn)在還是她最好的朋友。通過后面的and這個并列連詞, 可判斷只能選them, 容易誤選whom, 如果沒有and, 可以看成是定語從句。
(11)詞匯復(fù)現(xiàn)題。作者之 所以會有一個新的生活態(tài)度的另一個原因是她在護(hù)理之家從事兼職工作的時候出現(xiàn)的。此處的attitude呼應(yīng)第一段中的change。
(12)詞語辨析題。結(jié)合下一句生病的老太太把作者當(dāng)成她的女兒, 可知作者把老太太看成是她的朋友(friend)。partner伙伴; guide向?qū)? guest客人。
(13)邏輯推理題。老太太把作者當(dāng)成了她的女兒, 所以見到她非常高興(happy)。polite禮貌的; strange奇怪的; confident有信心的。
(14)邏輯推理題。老太太的女兒從來不來看她, 作 者就代替了她的女兒。bother打擾; answer回答; trust信任。
(15)邏輯推理題。這個老太太使作者明白(see)了使別人感到愉悅也能使自己感到愉悅。A項explain解釋; B項guess猜測; C項declare宣布。
(16)邏輯推理題。當(dāng)老太太去世時作者非常難過, 心碎(heartbro ken)。A項homeless無家可歸的; C項bad-tempered壞脾氣的; D項hopeless無望的。
(17)邏輯推理題。作者認(rèn)為自己現(xiàn)在要比過去更好, 可以結(jié)合第一段她以前自私而現(xiàn)在不自私來找答案的依據(jù)。
(18)詞語辨析題。作者希望自己不會忘記這些經(jīng)歷。B項face面對; C項improve提高, 改進(jìn); D項analyze分析。
(19)詞語辨析題。這些經(jīng)歷教會(taught)作者要關(guān)心別人多于自己。force強(qiáng)迫; prefer寧愿; order命令。
(20)詞語辨析題。作者喜歡(like)現(xiàn)在的自己, 而多年前不敢那樣說。而A項miss想念; C項wonder想知道; D項expect期望, 均不符合語境, 所以選B。

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。 Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just returned from one. It is a quarter to five in the morning: the sun has already climbed above the horizon; the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food. But some of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, putting off the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day’s work in the fields after a sleepless night.
Throughout most of her life, Bridget Mary, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just left. Twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home. The eldest son, heir (繼承人) to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work (they employ no farm laborers); the youngest daughter is still at school. Two years ago, Bridget Mary went to England to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband, Terry. He himself is an Irishman who used to live in Dublin and now has a well paid job in a light engineering works in England. They got engaged and started saving. Now they are thinking of buying a small house near Terry’s factory.
The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning. Another couple were being married at the same time. Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations: four luxurious cars brought the bride, bridegroom, family and friends home, and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny living room, hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures. A big meal was given; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or wine. And while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside.
（1）What makes it clear that this is a country wedding?
A.People are up so early.
B.Birds are singing.
C.The people’s occupations.
D.The bride is one of a large family.　
（2）The young couple will not live on the farm after their marriage because________.
A.there is no room for them
B.they have a house in England
C.they are both employed elsewhere
D.it's the bride's brother who will inherit (繼承) the farm
（3）Why were the guests taken for a ride round the countryside?
A.To give them an opportunity of ride round the countryside.
B.To get them out of the way.
C.To enable the neighbors to see the married people.
D.As a way of passing the time.
（4）What is the best title of the passage?
A.A Newly Married Couple
B.A Irish Wedding in the Country
C.Celebrations of Irish Wedding
D.Irish Married in the Country

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
C
No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.
Let's take a man we'll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn't make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people's attention.
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.
（1）What probably led to the start of advertisement?
A.The discovery of iron.
B.The specialization of labor.
C.The appearance of new jobs.
D.The development of farming techniques.
（2）The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plowright in order to __________.
A.explain the origin of advertising
B.predict the future of advertising
C.expose problems in advertising
D.provide suggestions for advertising
（3）The last two paragraphs are mainly about __________.
A.the history of advertising
B.the benefits of advertising
C.the early forms of advertising
D.the basic design of advertising

Therefore,China's continued economic growth has improved the lives of million of people.The poverty rate in the world's largest developing country had decreased by nearly three-quarters in the past six years.The report is made of a research company in the U.S.It says that the trend has resulted from the economic reforms in the country in last ten years.One reason for this soclo-economic success lies in the rapidly development of the country.Another reason is that why more and more people are moving from many poorer rural areas to look for better jobs in urban centers.The improvement of education but healthcare has also played an important part in help many people get out of poverty in China.
