“I’m going diving, ” she answered.
“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” the man  45 . “There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own   46 !” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be  47 ,” the man called after her. She did not bother to reply.
Diane slipped into the water and dived   48  until white caps began rolling in and it became harder to  49 against the current (水流). Saltwater hit against her face, making it  50 to breathe. Oh, why had she not listened to advice.

【文章大意】主人公Diane Ray是個任性執(zhí)拗的女孩。父母對其無奈。多虧有好人相助，使她在一次游泳中化險為夷。這也給了她一個實實在在的教訓！
小題1:由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受寵)以及下文…knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum if they did not�？梢酝茰y：她想要什么，父母親給她什么。
小題2:Diane Ray會耍小孩脾氣。碰到?jīng)]滿足之事，不難想象她會：scream（尖叫） and kick（亂踢） and…on the floor drumming her heels.(耍賴躺在地上頓腳)。jump      （跳）， spin （旋轉(zhuǎn)），sleep（睡）都不能準確體現(xiàn)Diane Ray的個性。
小題3:set out 出發(fā) set in 以……為背景 gave in 屈服gave out 分發(fā)由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受寵)和throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾氣)可以得知父母對其無奈，只得屈服。
小題4:確定該選項的三個信息：①后文…wearing an expensive swimsuit(游泳衣)，穿著游泳衣準備下水。②故事的主要情節(jié)是她在一次游泳中化險為夷。③They were back at the beach-house 和Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.
小題5:get sb to do sth="make" sb do sth 使得某人做某事。該句的意思是：Diane Ray肯定耍了多次小孩脾氣才使得父母為其買下了游泳衣。
小題6:由They were back at the beach-house和 when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving可以得知Diane Ray不被允許go diving，那她又會throw a temper tantrum。recover from… 有“從…恢復”之意。此處recovering…為動詞ing形式做伴隨狀語。如果去掉介詞from，可以考慮用appearing。
小題7:“單獨”下水游泳，才可能產(chǎn)生危險。C 選項again(又)，上下文中并沒有提及她之前在那下水游泳過。所以不符原文意思。
小題8:Diane Ray想下水，不管有伴沒伴，純粹是為了自個兒嬉耍玩樂。根本不考慮是否有危險性。have fun玩耍其它選項不符合原文意思。
小題9:正吵著要下水時候Diane冷不丁聽到一個聲音。她的反應是 jumped. 當然直到the man說話時才意識到他的存在。Not …until…直到……才……
小題10:“You shouldn’t swim that day, ” 是陌生人給她的一個建議。下文危險發(fā)生后Oh, why had she not listened to advice.該句可以印證。
小題11:mind one’s business管自己的事，不干涉別人的事如：A：Where did you go last night? 昨晚你去那兒去了?B：Mind your own business. 你少管閑事。又如：It’s none of your business. 這不關你的事(你少管閑事)。
小題12:上文“There is a storm coming up.”（有暴風雨快來了。）而Diane不聽建議，不顧危險下水游泳，那可能會出了事的。出了事會痛苦，難過的。這是勸說者想表達的意思。D選項excited與原文意思相悖。angry和confused不符合原意。
小題13:Diane Ray不顧危險獨自下水了，并且游得很起勁。此時危險來臨。D選項符合邏輯。A 選項nervously（緊張地），干擾最大。但聯(lián)系上文Diane任性的個性。她不聽勸告，顯然不會意識到危險性的存在。所以A選項排除。B,C選項不符文意。
小題14:根據(jù)“…white caps began rolling in…（浪端的白泡沫不斷翻滾.，越積越厚）”和“…and it became harder to …against the current ”（游過水流，變得更難了。），所以B選項swim符合原文邏輯。
小題15:根據(jù)行文邏輯，該段主要描寫Diane Ray不聽勸告私自游水面臨的險象。又如“…Saltwater hit against her face, making it …to breathe.”Saltwater打臉，嗆口，當然使得呼吸產(chǎn)生困難。所以A選項符合文意。
小題16:上文從浪端泡沫翻滾和Saltwate打臉，嗆口兩方面描繪Diane Ray面臨的生命危險。“Panicking, she began to …”Diane Ray開始緊張了，便大聲呼救。所以D選項正確。A選項 speak干擾較大，側(cè)重“演講，發(fā)言”之意。所以A答案不選。
小題17:原文“…seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, …”（Diane Ray看來正要下沉時），有個聲音在說“Hold on ! I’m coming”（堅持��！我就來了。）。話中透露出冷靜的語氣：面對險境，別慌！所以A選項calm符合文章邏輯。
小題18:看到 the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her。有人來救她了！當然感到舒了一口氣。With relief 寬慰，舒心 at ease安逸，自由自在
小題19:Diane Ray 的任性，不聽勸告私自下水會出生命危險。而在暴風雨天氣中施救者同時可能有危險，所以可推測句子“You put us both in…, ” 意為“你置于我們都處于險境”。In danger 處于危險之中
小題20:由上文“she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her.”（……看見這位老人朝她劃著一只古舊的小船。）可以判斷出施救者是劃船去救人的。因此把她從水中撈起，拉上船舷（the side of the boat）。C選項beach干擾最大，但一般先救上船中，然后帶到岸邊。所以C項不選。

I stopped at a grocery store the other day because I was about to go on a long drive and I wanted to buy my favorite beverage for the trip. It wasn’t the store I normally go to, just one I passed along the way.
As I walked up to the entrance, I noticed a man and a boy who was about 10 or 12 years old standing at the front of the store. Customers walked past, as the man handed them half-sheets of white paper. I walked up to them with curiosity, wondering what cause they were representing. As I got closer, I saw that they had two carts starting to fill with groceries.
I said hello and the man greeted me and handed me one of the pieces of paper, explaining that they were collecting donations for the local food pantry. On the paper was a simple list of food items: peanut butter, noodles, pasta sauce, canned fruits and vegetables. It also included a short story about the boy and his efforts to collect food donations since the age of 8. I was really touched that someone so young would be so interested in helping others. I told him it was an awesome idea and that he should be proud of himself. He smiled.
Then, I went inside to get my drink. Unfortunately, the store didn’t have it in stock. But, I wasn’t upset, because by then I felt I had another mission. I went through the store, picking things from the list, then brought them back out to the boy and put them in the cart. I also gave the man the white sheet of paper back to reuse for another customer. They thanked me and offered me a treat (candy, I think) but I said to pass it on to someone else.
As I walked back to my car, the boy’s well-intentioned spirit stuck with me. How inspiring to encounter a young boy with a resolve to do good deeds, and the courage to act on it. It made my day!

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. "Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回憶). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!" Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
"Let's aim for the pier(碼頭)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time. After 30minutes, they reached the pier.
小題1:Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A．To go boat rowing.
B．To get back their football.
C．To swim in the open water.
D．To test the umbrella as a sail.
小題2:What does "it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.
Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion. . .
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
" My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"
Her dull and indifferent (漠不關心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
"Don't you want to know her plans?" she cried with some impatience.
"Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I'd better listen. "
"Well, my dear, the rumour (傳言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. " "What is her name?" "Bingley. "
"Is she married or single?"
"What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. " "How so? How can it possibly affect them? "
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. "
" Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. "
" Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. "
" Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. " "Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. "
And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀談) with influential figures.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Austen was born 200 years ago.
B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.
C．Austen's success lies in her wisdom.
D．Austen's updated work gains popularity.
小題2:The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ____.
A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
B．felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
C．was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
D．had a great curiosity about Bingley
小題3:In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____.
A．get married toB．work for her
C．help her move inD．take over her store
小題4:What does the writer intend to tell us?
A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men.
B．Women have to pay a high price for success.
C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice.
D．Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.

I get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the window, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”
I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.
There he is. I stand on tiptoe(腳尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.
It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and what I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.
I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. I know, how can prison be anyone’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, though—home will be.
小題1:The author goes to the prison_________.
A．to talk with the officerB．to visit her father
C．to get a piece of paper from the officerD．to pay a visit to her favorite place
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s father is ____________.

Jason had been watching the X Games on TV. Athletes from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports. Just then his grandmother walked into the room. “I want to be extreme. Would you really let me do that? You always worry about my safety!” said Jason.
“You will have to follow some rules,” said his grandmother. “You can only ride in the park — never on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet (頭盔). If you hurt yourself too much, I have the right to take your skateboard away. Is it a deal?”
“You bet!” Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa. A week later he had a board and a helmet.
On Saturday, his grandmother dropped him off near the park. He was happy to have a grandmother who let him try new things.
Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps (坡道). They flew into the air and landed as easily as birds. When he watched the X games, Jason felt like he was doing the tricks himself. But watching these kids up close, he knew that none of it was going to be easy. He felt a little bit scared.
Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on the board. He kicked off with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided (滑行) along, just waiting to fall. Then he came to a stop. Kicking off again, he waited for the worst to happen. Again, he stayed up. The third time he kicked, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.
It hurt, but it was no big deal! Why had he been so scared? Now he felt calm because things had gone wrong, and he was fine!
Next time he kicked off harder and went fast and farther. “Excellent!” said a girl as she passed him. “Extreme!” laughed Jason to himself. “Not quite.”
