8.A Welcome Gift
Dario and his mother loved their new apartment.The living room was large enough for their piano.That night,the two of them(36)sat side by side at the piano.They played jazz music to celebrate their new home.The loud(37)music filled the room and made them feel very happy.
The next morning,(38)however,their happiness disappeared.Someone had left a (39)note under their door during the night.One of their neighbor had written to complain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano.Dario's mother asked the building superintendent(管理員) if he knew anything about it.But he said that they were all (40)nice people and he couldn't imagine any of them had done that.Later that morning,Dario suggested that they write a letter to their(41)neighbors and apologize for their playing.
"Maybe we could go and(42)visit everyone in person."his mother said.
"What if we invited them to come here for a (43)party instead?Dario asked.
They both loved the(44)idea.Over the next few days,they sent out invitations and prepared desserts(45)for their guests.They decorated the apartment with streamers(彩帶) and party lights.
Finally,the day of the party(46)arrived.Some guests brought presents.Others brought flowers.Some even brought desserts to(47)share.One woman,Mrs.Gilbert,(48)presented Dario's mother with a book of piano music by Chopin.
"I heard you playing the other night,"she said."The sounds woke me out of bed.I (49)worried    that you might play like this every night.So I wrote a short note.I hope you don't think I disliked the playing."
Dario's mother smiled at Mrs.Gilbert."I think maybe we(50)owe you an apology."she said."I didn't(51)realize how late it was when we were playing.Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.
"You play,you play!"Mrs.Gilbert said."I like what you play!Just not so loud at night."She pointed to the book she had given them."These songs are not such(52)loud music."
"These songs are beautiful music."Dario's mother said."We will be (53)happy to play them in the evening."
"And we won't play so loud or late!"Dario said.He was already looking forward to(54)practicing   the new music.More than that,however,he was happy to see the big smile on his mother's face.It gave him a feeling of(55)warmth and made him feel that they were home at last.

分析 本文是記敘文,文章講述了一對母子搬入新家,非常高興,在深夜彈起鋼琴慶祝,卻打擾了周圍鄰居.鄰居留言抱怨投訴,母子積極回應(yīng),為鄰居們辦了一場派對來緩和鄰里關(guān)系,并得到鄰居們的諒解.文章立意積極向上,體現(xiàn)社會(huì)主義核心價(jià)值觀:和諧.作者旨在說明鄰居間引起誤會(huì)后要想辦法消除誤會(huì)、化解矛盾,鄰里之間要諧相處.

解答 36.A   考查動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)空后的"side by side at the piano"可知,他們應(yīng)該是坐在鋼琴旁邊彈奏.故選A.
37.C    考查名詞辨析.根據(jù)上文中的"They played jazz music"可知,這里應(yīng)該是吵鬧的音樂(music)充滿了整個(gè)房間.故選C.
38.B     考查副詞辨析.根據(jù)上文中的"made them feel very happy"以及空后的"their happiness disappeared"可知,此處應(yīng)為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系.故選B.
39.A     考查名詞辨析.根據(jù)下文中的"One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano"可知,這里指一張便條.故選A.
40.D     考查形容詞辨析.根據(jù)下文中的"he couldn't imagine any of them had done that"可知,主人公想向管理員咨詢,哪一位鄰居可能是那位留言的抱怨者,可管理者也并不能指出,大家通常都是通情達(dá)理的.故選D.

43.A      考查名詞辨析.此題為線索題且為原詞復(fù)現(xiàn),根據(jù)下文中的"party lights"和"the day of the party"可知,他們是想舉辦一個(gè)聚會(huì).故選A.
44.B      考查名詞辨析.此題可排除得知,母子打算辦派對,這是一個(gè)打算,一個(gè)主意,而不是經(jīng)歷、表演表現(xiàn)或行為.故選B.
45.C     考查介詞辨析"prepare sb for sth"是固定搭配,意為"為某人準(zhǔn)備某物"這里指母子辦派對,為招待客人們準(zhǔn)備了甜點(diǎn).故選C.
46.B     考查動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)上文中的"Some guests brought presents"可知,他們想舉辦的聚會(huì),這一天終于到來了.故選B.

49.D     考查動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)下文中的"You might play like this every night"可知,這里應(yīng)該是Mrs.Gilbert當(dāng)時(shí)很擔(dān)心每天晚上都會(huì)這么吵.故選D.
50.D     考查動(dòng)詞辨析."owe sb sth"意為"感激,欠某人…".這個(gè)空可以看作是固定搭配,"owe sb.a(chǎn)n apology"意為"應(yīng)該向某人道歉".故選D.
51.A     考查動(dòng)詞辨析.根據(jù)上下文語境可知,這里表示Dario的媽媽道歉說:我也沒意識到當(dāng)時(shí)那么晚了我們還在彈鋼琴.故選A.
52.D     考查形容詞辨析.根據(jù)上一句:I like what you play!Just not so loud at night.說明Mrs.Gilbert 不喜歡那么吵的音樂,因此她送了Dario的媽媽一本比較安靜的音樂書,也就是不那么吵的音樂(not such loud music).故選D.
53.C      考查形容詞辨析.根據(jù)上文:These songs are beautiful music,說明Dario的媽媽很喜歡這些音樂,所以we will be happy to play them.故選C.

In the picture,we can see a boy in worn clothes,sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it.A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.
This is a well-known story from ancient Chinese idiom.The boy,being poor,couldn't afford even a candle,so he bored a hole in the wall to"steal"light from his neighbor‘s house to read at night.The moral of the story is to spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course,things are totally different today.It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts.Hard work pays off.We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get prepared for the future..

13.A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.
Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago.I wanted to save up money and buy my own car,so I applied everywhere I could that summer.The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself,this is going to be easy.Within four hours of my first shift (輪班),I had angry customers who complained how slow I was.I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere,and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear"Mike,there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one."I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic.The manager expected a clean environment and particularly,fast service with a friendly smile.
Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations.I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am.Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees.They chat with us workers and joke around.Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.
From my first job at the restaurant,I learned teamwork and devotion.I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get.I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.

"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings,as compared to even the National Book Critics Award,which I was also surprised and delighted to win,"said Armantrout.
"For a long time,my writing has been just below the media radar,and to have this kind of attention,suddenly,with my 10th book,is really surprising."
  Armantrout,a native Californian,received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley,where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov,and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of Language Poets,a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

"This book has gotten more attention,"Armantrout said,"but I don't feel as if it's better."
  The first half of"Versed"focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq.The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
  Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not."Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,"said Seth Lerer,head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
"Versed",published by the Wesleyan University Press,did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works,which is about 2,700copies.The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

66.According to Rae Armantrout,B.
A.her 10th book is much better
B.her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected

Good afternoon,everyone.
Welcome to our school!High school students are faced with a choice between art and science.It was not an easy choice for me to make.After careful consideration,though,I decided on science as my main subject of study.
First,science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China.Second,the science major can help me achieve my childhood's dream of becoming a scientist.Third,my parents wish me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science student.Last but not least,my physics teacher is my role model whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision.
It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice.

13.The summer before I went off to college,Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board (燙衣板)and said,"Pay attention:I'm going to teach you to iron."

"Learn to iron a shirt,"com Mom said,"and you can iron anything."
But ironing shirts was not(39)easywork.It didn't make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball,and it wasn't a(40)smoothoperation like ice-skating.Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10feet,Moreover,an iron produced steam and it carried an element of(41)danger.If you touched the wrong part of it,you'd get burnt.If you forgot to turn it off when you (42)wentaway,you might bum down the house.
As for technique,Mom(43)taughtme to begin with the flat spaces outward,always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皺的)parts.Collars had to be done right.Mom said they were close to your face,where everyone would(44)seethem.
Over the years,I've learned to iron shirts skillfully,which gives me a sense of(45)prideWhatever failures I suffer in my life,an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something.(46)Besides,through ironing I've learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems."(47)Dealwithwrinkles one at a time,"as Mom might have said,"and before long everything will get ironed out."
