7.It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang.I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.
"Any old paper,lady?"asked one of them.
I was busy.I wanted to say"no"until I looked down at their feet.They were wearing thin little sandals,wet with heavy snow.
"Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
They walked over and sat down at the table.Their wet scandals left marks upon the floor.I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside.Then I went back to the kitchen ad stated again on my household budget.
The silence in the front door struck me.I looked in.the girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it.The boy asked in a flat voice,"Lady,are you rich?"
"Am I rich?Mercy,no!"
I looked at my shabby slipcover (家具套).The girl put her cup back in its sauce carefully and said,"Your cups match your saucer."Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply.They left after that,holding their bundles of papers against the wind.They didn't said"Thank you".They didn't need to.They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain china cups and saucers were only worth five pence.But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup.Potatoes and brown meat soup,a roof covered over our heads,my man with a good,steady job-these matched,too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room.The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor.Let them be for a whole,I thought,just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
1.Why did the writer let the children in?:A
A.She showed great pity on them.
B.She had old papers to sell.
C.She knew them and wanted to make them a cup of coca.

分析 本文講述了作者在感恩節(jié)時(shí)幫助兩位收廢品的小孩,從他們對生活的樸實(shí)的理解受到啟迪,明白了知足者常樂、生活充實(shí)就意味著富有的道理.
全文翻譯:感恩節(jié)的早晨,我在我的小家擁擠的廚房正忙著準(zhǔn)備傳統(tǒng)的感恩節(jié)火雞的時(shí)候,門鈴響了,我打開前門,看見兩個(gè)衣衫襤褸的孩子擠在外門前的臺(tái)階上.
"有舊報(bào)紙嗎,女士?"其中一個(gè)問道.
我很忙,我一直想說"不",直到我低頭看著他們的腳,他們穿著薄薄的涼鞋,濕著帶著厚厚的雪.
"進(jìn)來,我給你倒杯熱可可."
他們走過去,坐在餐桌旁,他們的濕涼鞋在地板上留下了痕跡,我給他們端上可可、面包和果醬,抵御外面的寒冷,然后我又回到廚房,再次說明我的家庭預(yù)算.
前門的寂靜是我好奇.我向屋里看,女孩手中拿著空杯子,看著它,男孩用單調(diào)的聲音問,"女士,你有錢嗎?"
"我富有嗎?不!"
我看著我的破舊的家具套.女孩把杯子放回到它的杯托上,"您的杯子和杯托很配."她的聲音聽起來很餓,任何數(shù)量的食物都無法滿足需要.他們離開后,頂風(fēng)抱著成捆的文件.他們沒有說"謝謝你".他們不需要,他們提醒我,我擁有這么多,值得感激.
普通的瓷器杯子和杯托只有五便士,但他們匹配.
我嘗了土豆,攪拌了肉湯,土豆和肉湯,我們頭上有屋頂,我的男人也有一份好的,穩(wěn)定的工作.
我把椅子從火上搬了回去,打掃了客廳,小涼鞋泥濘的痕跡還在我的地板上濕濕的,我想,讓它們保持一會(huì)兒,以免我開始忘記自己是多么的富有.

解答 1.A  判斷推理題.根據(jù)文中第三段中"I wanted to say"no"until I looked down at their feet.They were wearing thin little sandals,wet with heavy snow."Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.""可知,作者一開始想說"沒有",但看到他們的腳,他們穿著薄薄的涼鞋,濕著帶著厚厚的雪,之后邀請他們進(jìn)來,可見作者是同情他們,才讓他們進(jìn)來,A選項(xiàng)符合.B選項(xiàng)"She had old papers to sell."說作者有舊報(bào)紙要賣,文中作者想說"沒有",說明她沒有舊報(bào)紙要賣,故B選項(xiàng)不正確;C選項(xiàng)"She knew them and wanted to make them a cup of coca."她認(rèn)識(shí)他們,想要給他們一杯可可,根據(jù)文章,作者顯然不認(rèn)識(shí)他們,故C選項(xiàng)不正確;D選項(xiàng)"She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party."她想要邀請他們來她的感恩節(jié)聚會(huì),文中作者顯然沒有舉行聚會(huì),故D選項(xiàng)不正確;綜上,故選A.2.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文中對女孩的描述"the girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it.""The girl put her cup back in its sauce carefully and said,"Your cups match your saucer."",女孩一直看著空杯子,并小心翼翼放回杯托,對作者說杯子和杯托很配,顯然,女孩的關(guān)注點(diǎn)一直在杯子和杯托上,所以,女孩覺得作者富有可能是因?yàn)楸雍捅泻芘,是一套,這個(gè)原因,B選項(xiàng)符合題意.A選項(xiàng)"she saw that the lady's room was comfortable."她看見女士的房間很舒服,文中并未提及,而且從文中第一段中可知,女士的廚房很小,家很小,故A選項(xiàng)不正確;C選項(xiàng)"the writer's slipcovers were very new."家具套很新,文中原句是"I looked at my shabby slipcover.",由此可見家具套很破,故C選項(xiàng)不正確;D選項(xiàng)"the boy thought so",小男孩這樣想,并不一定代表小女孩也這樣認(rèn)為,文中沒有提及,女孩很聽男孩的話,故D選項(xiàng)不正確,所以女孩認(rèn)為作者富有,可能是因?yàn)樽髡呒依锏谋雍捅泻芘,是一套,故選B.3.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)整篇文章大意,作者本來沒覺得自己富有,但在兩個(gè)小孩眼里,作者是富有的,作者有豐富的飯菜,遮風(fēng)擋雨的場所,丈夫有穩(wěn)定工作,她應(yīng)該感到很富有,作者感悟"They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.","Let them be for a whole,I thought,just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am."富不富有取決于對生活你是如何想的,A選項(xiàng)"how much money you have had"你擁有多少錢,文中沒有提及,C選項(xiàng)"how you have helped others"你怎樣幫助他人,文中也沒有提及,D選項(xiàng)"what job you are doing"你做什么工作,這些都不符合文章大意.綜上,故選B.4.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一句"The muddy prints of small scandals were still wet upon my floor.Let them be for a whole,I thought,just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.",小涼鞋泥濘的痕跡還在我的地板上濕濕的,我想,讓它們保持一會(huì)兒,以免我開始忘記自己是多么的富有.作者是為了提醒自己是多么富有,D選項(xiàng)正確.A選項(xiàng)"show her husband that someone had come",向丈夫展示有人來過了,顯然不正確;B選項(xiàng)"remind her that she had helped two children",提醒她,她幫助過兩個(gè)孩子,文中沒有提及;C選項(xiàng)"show that she was a kind-hearted woman",顯示她是個(gè)好心的女人,顯然不正確,故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文講述了作者在感恩節(jié)時(shí)幫助兩位收廢品的小孩,從他們對生活的樸實(shí)的理解受到啟迪,明白了知足者常樂、生活充實(shí)就意味著富有的道理.題目涉及多道推理判斷題,在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行合理正確的分析,切記胡亂猜測,做到有理有據(jù).對于細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性地找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.

5.There was once a group of monks(和尚) who went to Australia to spread Buddhism.Everything had to be started from the beginning.After buying a plot of land,they bought bricks,construction materials and with their own hands,they started to build a temple.
A young monk took charge of building the brick wall.He took great care in laying the bricks,ensuring that they were leveled.His progress was slow,due to the great care in his work,but he wasn't bothered,.Finally,when he completed the wall,something caught his eye and made him angry.Despite the great care he took in his work,he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted(傾斜).Because of that,whenever visitors came to the temple,the young monk would show them around to all places,except the brick wall that he had built.
One day,two elderly monks came to the temple.No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall,the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall.Unwillingly,the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.
"Oh,this is such a beautiful brick wall,"one of the elderly monks said."Sir,are you sure?Haven't you seen the two ugly bricks that are slanted in the middle of the wall?"the young monk asked in surprise."Yes,I have."replied the elderly monk."But I also saw the remaining 98good bricks that made this a beautiful wall!"
You see,most of the time,we focus on things that went wrong or didn't live to our expectations.However,we've forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98bricks.
21.What lesson can we learn from the story?C
A.Grasp all,lose all.
B.It is no use crying over spilt milk.
C.Don't miss the forest for the trees.
D.No sweat,no sweet.
22.Which of the following words can best describe the young monk when he built the brick wallA
A.Careful and patient.
B.Lazy and careless.
C.Hard-working but impatient.
D.Upset and worried.
23.What did the elderly monk think of the wall built by the young monk?B
A.He thought it was not firm.
B.He thought highly of it.

16.We forgot about speed.To make roadways safer for teens,the nation has focused much attention on such critical issues as distracted (思想不集中的) driving and driving under the influence (of alcohol or drugs).But speeding---which is arguably even more critical---has largely escaped such notice.
In a study supported by insurer State Farm,the Governors Highway Safety Association found that over the past decade,there were 19,447speed-related crashes involving teen drivers,with speeding as a cause of deadly teen crashes rising from 30% to 33%.
If the US is to continue making progress in teen driving safety,it must address speeding,says Susan Ferguson,a highway safety consultant who authored the report.
"Speeding is something people aren't particularly concerned about,"Ferguson says."This is the first time,really,that we've focused on this issue.We've known for a while that speeding is an issue for young drivers,especially for young males,"she says.
Half of all deadly crashes involving 16-year-old drivers with three or more passengers are speeding-related,according to the report.
"Unless speeding is recognized as a dangerous behavior,much the same as alcohol-involved driving,it will continue to be difficult to address as a society,"the report says.
Peter Kissinger,president and CEO of AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety,says,"A lot of the traffic safety community believes that the distracted driving debate has unnecessarily taken focus away from speeding and the contribution that speeding makes to the bigger picture."
Speeding is so deep-rooted in American culture,which will be difficult to address,Kissinger says.His group's Traffic Safety Culture Index,a survey of nearly 4,000people of driving age,found that 63% considered speeding on streets"completely unacceptable"---but 47% had done it in the past month.
The report offers recommendations for state and local governments and for parents.State and local police should enforce (執(zhí)行) speeding laws and use automated enforcement such as speed cameras.Parents should not purchase vehicles for their teenagers right away."When a teen first has a license,if they are the primary owner of a vehicle,they are more likely to speed"than in the family car,F(xiàn)erguson says.Also,parents should choose larger and newer cars and not high-performance vehicles.

32.The first paragraph is written toC.
A.give the causes of the problem
B.offer some solutions to the problem
C.introduce the topic of the text
D.a(chǎn)ttract readers with some simple facts
33.According to the text,distracted drivingA.
A.draws public attention away from speeding
B.is the primary cause of speeding
C.is easier to deal with than speeding
D.has begun to concern the traffic safety community
34.What can we conclude from the results of Kissinger's survey?A
A.Speeding is very common in the US.
B.Most American people tolerate speeding.
C.American culture is strongly against speeding.
D.Nearly half of US teen drivers are used to speeding.
35.Susan Ferguson advises parents toD.
A.prevent their teens from using the family car
B.encourage their children to have a license
C.buy cheap or used cars for their teens
D.put off buying their children a car.

17.Here are a growing number of pet owners who feed their pets on raw(生食),which means,"uncooked"meat and bones.William Burk,a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers,and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition(營養(yǎng)) that a pet needs every day.
Learning how popular these foods are,the FDA has provided guidelines (指南)for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs,cats and other pets.The guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.
Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers,says Burk.Just as when you are preparing foods for human beings,use hot water and soap to wash your hands,containers,and surfaces that come into contact with the food.Don't put your hands near your mouth until you have washed them,and don't allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten raw meat.
"If pet owners choose to feed bones to their pets,they should watch their pets carefully when they are eating bones,"Burk says."If a pet eats a big piece of bone that won't pass through its digestive system(消化系統(tǒng)),it is likely to kill the pet."
5.What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw meat?D
A.It'll make the pet owners sick.
B.It'll keep the pets'wild nature.
C.It's against the policy of tile FDA.
D.It's dangerous and lack of nutrition.
6.The FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods with raw meat becauseC.
A.pet safety is a serious problem         
B.most pets are lack of nutrition
C.feeding pets on raw is popular         
D.the quality of pet foods is dropping
7.Those who feed pets on raw should do some necessary cleaning whenA.
A.preparing raw meat for pets           
B.touching the food containers
C.taking their pets out for a walk         
D.preparing foods for human beings
8.What suggestion is given to pet owners in the last paragraph?D
A.Pets should be forbidden to eat raw bones.
B.Pets should be kept away from the raw meat.
C.Pets should be checked on their digestive system.
D.Pets should be watched carefully while eating bones.
