7．This is a story  that happened 15 years ago but it has always stayed with me since then．On the way back from work every evening，more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway．He always waved at every car，he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing．Every day after work when I got there，I would quickly roll down my window and give him the coins．Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day．His answer would always be the same，"I'm blessed！"．
It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive，and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was．A single mother of four amazing kids，with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids．Then one day I was called into my boss's office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy．Needless to say that on my was home that day I was very sad and upset．I didn't remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did．I wasn't feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be．Yet there he was as alway，as l turned the ramp．He set his eyes on me，while still smiling and waving at others．
While I was waiting for the red light to turn，he strolled over to my car．He had a big smile he looked me straight in the eyes and said"today I will give you a dollar"．He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill．I was blown away．I burst into tears．I wanted to jump out of my car and hug him！
You see that day he gave me more than a dollar bill，he taught me a valuable lesson．No matter  what material things are taken  from you，no one can take away your choice to be joyful．

解答 56．答案是B．主旨大意題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容作者在失去工作之后，卻得到了一個(gè)無(wú)家可歸的流浪者的祝福，從他的生活態(tài)度中得到了啟迪，所以答案選B．
57．答案是A．推理判斷題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"He always waved at every car，he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing．"一個(gè)流浪漢每天都是這種精神風(fēng)貌，而且在我失去工作的時(shí)候，關(guān)心著我還給了我一美元，從這些可以看出這個(gè)流浪漢是樂觀的，optimistic樂觀的，所以答案選A．
58．答案是D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章句子"I didn't remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did"可見作者沒有像往常那樣給他零錢，所以答案選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 故事類文章在閱讀過程中，我們一直在某個(gè)線索的引導(dǎo)下，隨著作者的思路去了解一個(gè)故事或一件事情的始末，因此會(huì)感到比較輕松．命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力． 閱讀故事類文章時(shí)，應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意，弄清主要情節(jié)，立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象，從而達(dá)到解題的目的．

     I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn't open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around．At that time，it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries．Just like my body，my dreams were completely destroyed．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams．
     After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions，I had to make every great effort to learn to talk，eat，walk，shower，and live on my own again．When I was out Of hospital，I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf，Maryland．After I spent a few months in a wheelchair，I took baby steps to walk on my own．It was a miracle that I was able to walk again，but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk，but also run．When it came true，I wanted to get back into the pool again．After having a few lung tests，I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week．After a few months of Swim training，I began my freshman year at St．Mary's College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team．
     By telling my story，I want to make a positive influence on the world．I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them．I remember when I was still in my hospital bed，I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members．I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay．Somehow，things would work out for the best．

12．I stayed for a while in Costa Rica years ago．One morning I was shopping in a local farmers mar-ket．I loved that market．The selection of produce was exceptional!
    I had parked my car a few blocks away at Firestone．An hour into my shopping，I reached in my purse for my phone．I dug around searching and searching…no phone!
    I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper（拉鏈） was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands．
    I went around to all the venders （攤主） I had visited asking if they had come across a lost iPhone．
But no such luck．
    Disappointed，I walked out of the market with all my fresh organic produce．In front of me was an older lady walking slowly with a heavy bag in each hand．I observed many people passing her．At first I thought of doing the same，as I was worried about my phone．But then I heard a voice in my heart say-ing"help her"．
        In Spanish，I asked the old lady if I could give her a hand．She gladly handed me a bag and we walked on．She was probably in her late 70s and the bag I took from her was full of produce．She asked about my family and my job．My Sparush was far from perfect．I tried to explain to her but I was not sure whether she understood．
    As we came to a street comer，we had to walk in opposite directions．My mind wondered for a mo-ment and then I decided to go on helping the lady．I saw a warm smile of gratefulness on her face，
which also warmed my own heart．
    After a few more blocks we came to her destination．I couldn't imagine her walking so far with two heavy bags all alone!
     I walked all the way back to my car at Firestone．I unlocked my door and sitting between the seats right in view was my iPhone!
21．Why did the author prefer the local farmers market？D

19．When I returned to the common，the sun was setting．The crowd around the hole had increased，and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky-a couple of hundred people，perhaps．There were really，I should think，two or three hundred people elbowing one another，the one or two ladies there being by no means the least active．"He's fallen in the hole!"cried someone．"Keep back!"said several．The crowd moved a little，and I elbowed my way through．Everyone seemed greatly excited．I heard a peculiar humming sound from the hole．
"I say!"said Ogilvy；"help keep these idiots back．We don't know what's in the puzzling thing，you know!"
The end of the cylinder（圓柱體） was being screwed out from within．I turned，and as I did so the screw（螺絲釘） must have come out，for the lid of the cylinder fell upon the ground with a ringing shock．For a moment that circular cavity seemed perfectly black．I had the sunset in my eyes．
I think everyone expected to see a man emerge-possibly something a little unlike us earthly men，but in all essentials a man．But，looking，I presently saw something exciting within the shadow：clumsy movements，one above another，and then two disc-like eyes．Then something resembling a grey snake，about the thickness of a walking stick，climbed up out of the twisting middle，and moved in the air towards me-and then another．
A sudden chill came over me．I stood frightened and staring．A big gray rounded bulk，the size，perhaps，of a bear，was rising slowly and painfully out of the cylinder．As it bulged up and caught the light，it looked like wet leather．
Anyone who has never seen a living Martian can scarcely imagine the strange horror of its appearance．The peculiar V-shaped mouth with its pointed upper lip，the absence of brow ridges，the Gorgon groups of tentacles（觸手），the unstable breathing of the lungs in a strange atmosphere，the evident heaviness and painfulness of movement due to the greater gravitational energy of the earth-above all，the extraordinary intensity of the huge eyes，which was unforgettable-were at once vital，intense，inhuman，and monstrous．There was something fungoid in the oily brown skin，something in the clumsy deliberation of the tedious movements unspeakably nasty．Even at this first encounter，this first glimpse，I was overcome with disgust and dread．

73．Why was the crowd"elbowing one another"according to paragraph 1？B
A．There were no officials to control them．
B．They were curious and wanted to get a good view of the hole．
C．They were angry and trying to push people into the hole．
D．They were trying to get away from the hole in fear．
74．The Martian shocked the narrator becauseD．
A．it did not look like the other Martians that had arrived earlier
B．it arrived on Earth in a strange and nasty-looking cylinder
C．it was moving surprisingly slowly for a Martian
D．like most people，he had thought it would resemble a human
75．A"sudden chill"（paragraph 5）came over the narrator becauseC．
A．the Martian was heading directly towards the crowd
B．a(chǎn) cold tentacle had almost reached the narrator
C．he saw the Martian's terrifying features as it climbed out of the cylinder
D．the sun had set and he suddenly noticed the night-time chill
76．What did the narrator find most impressive about the creature？D
A．The horrible shape of its mouth and face．
B．Its long and strange tentacles．
C．The way it moved in the Earth's atmosphere．
D．Its unusual large and intense eyes．
77．The description of the Martians implies that they areC．
A．cute and charming
B．friendly and cooperative
C．frightening and probably dangerous
D．ugly but unluckily misunderstood．
