It was a lazy morning during the Christmas week. We were enjoying breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was a little girl, standing at the doorway with a piece of paper and a face that carried an expression of want, rather a common     1   during Christmas.
She murmured that the paper was her booklist and that she was going around     2   money to buy her schoolbooks. My children went inside and brought some     3    for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown,     4    during Christmas.
From where I was seated, I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years old and she wore a dress too big for her. She spoke in a     5    voice and looked at me straight in the eye. Something made me get up and     6    her.
In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers and she     7    them before going to school. But the hopper money was not adequate to     8    the list; therefore, she was going from house to house asking for help.
Her voice told me the story; her eyes told me that it was     9    . I said I'd buy her what was on the list.
We drove to a nearby bookstore. She sat    10   , with a strange look on her face. When the clerk was taking all the things on the list, the little girl kept staring as if confused. Perhaps she had never    11   so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, pens and such things. She whispered her    12   to us. Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such   13        things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.
As we drove back, I could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never   14   up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smiling to herself. The total event made us all very    15   . Our Christmas became more meaningful.

解析試題分析：本文敘述了作者在圣誕節(jié)期間遇到了一個(gè)小女孩因?yàn)闆]有買學(xué)習(xí)用品的錢，而在到處奔波討錢，作者主動(dòng)幫助她買了她所要的一切東西，使小女孩非常感動(dòng)，同時(shí)作者也感到從來(lái)沒有過的快樂。文章告訴我們當(dāng)別人有困難時(shí)要互幫互助。
【小題1】考查名詞。problem問題； sight景象； moment片刻； experience經(jīng)驗(yàn)。根據(jù)常識(shí)圣誕節(jié)期間，孩子應(yīng)該是很高興的，而這個(gè)孩子卻露出不尋常的表情，所以是不是平常看到的景象，故選B。
【小題2】考查動(dòng)詞。borrow借進(jìn)； receive收到； beg乞求； lend借出。小女孩到處走著向別人乞求要錢，故選C。
【小題3】考查名詞。clothes衣服； books書； food食物； coins硬幣。根據(jù)上文可知小女孩再要錢，所以許多孩子就都回家拿來(lái)一些硬幣給這個(gè)小女孩，故選D。
【小題4】考查副詞。absolutely絕對(duì)地； casually隨意地； especially尤其； hardly幾乎不。這種事在“我”的家鄉(xiāng)經(jīng)常發(fā)生，尤其是圣誕節(jié)期間，故選C。
【小題5】考查形容詞。strange奇怪的； polite禮貌的； serious嚴(yán)重的； loud大聲的。小女孩講起話來(lái)很有禮貌。故選B。
【小題6】考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。care for關(guān)心； speak to對(duì)……說(shuō)話； smile at對(duì)……微笑； hold to堅(jiān)持。根據(jù)From where I was seated,可知“我”當(dāng)時(shí)是在坐著，某個(gè)東西使“我”站起來(lái)跟她說(shuō)話，故選B。
【小題7】考查動(dòng)詞。sell 賣； need需要； collect收集； use使用。她把媽媽做的儲(chǔ)料器都賣了，故選A。
【小題8】考查動(dòng)詞。Buy買； make制造； cover夠付(費(fèi)用)，包含，覆蓋； control控制。但是賣了儲(chǔ)料器的錢還是不夠支付小女孩的清單上寫的這些東西，故選C。
【小題9】考查形容詞。Painful痛苦地； true真實(shí)地； moving動(dòng)人的； interesting有趣的。她的眼睛告訴“我”，她說(shuō)的是真的，故選B。
【小題10】考查副詞。happily高興地； eagerly急切地； anxiously焦急地； silently沉默地。根據(jù)with a strange look on her face，她沉默地坐著，故選D。
【小題11】考查動(dòng)詞。possess擁有； buy買； see看見； accept接受。作者帶著小女孩買了這么多的東西，所以也許她以前沒有擁有過這些，故選A。
【小題12】考查名詞。surprise驚奇； satisfaction 滿意； thanks感謝； pleasure快樂。根據(jù)上文可知作者給她買了許多東西，所以她向“我”低聲說(shuō)著感謝，故選C。
【小題13】考查形容詞。simple簡(jiǎn)單地； wonderful好的； expensive 貴的； useful有用的。“我”從來(lái)沒有意識(shí)到給出這么點(diǎn)的東西，就給她帶來(lái)那么多的快樂，故選A。

Sarah came running in saying, "Look what l found. " Over the top of the paper I was reading I saw a long object that made me jump. It was a piece of snakeskin that had been shed （脫皮)  by one of our garden snakes.
'Isn't it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed 7~year-old daughter. I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really was not that beautiful, but I did not want to disappoint Sarah.  Everything children see for the first time is elementary to their sense of beauty and creativity. They see only merit (憂點(diǎn)) and excellence in the world.
"Why does it do this?" Sarah asked. I like to teach my children that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them. "Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves," I explained.
"Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. "We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with," I said to my now absorbed daughter. "We outgrow some things and find other stuff unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin.  It is probably too old, and the snake probably doesn't think it looks as smart in the skin as it once did.  Like buying a new suit. "
Of course, I'm sure this explanation won't suit naturalists. But Sarah got the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, and rooms and schoolwork and creativity, and she began to see what we need to keep and what need to cast off.  I was careful to point out that this is a natural process, not one to be forced.
"Snakes don't peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained.  "lt happens as part of their growth. "
"I see, Dad. " said Sarah.  She then jumped off my lap, grabbed the snakeskin, and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. Often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture we are cloaked (掩飾) in year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless, unnecessary, or flawed (有缺陷的);  or at best,  remember the things we discard（丟掉）to teach us how we can improve.
【小題1】When Sarah asked the author whether the snakeskin was beautiful,___________

A．he was shocked and jumped
B．he tried to understand her point of view
C．he thought that telling the truth was a merit
D．he decided to teach her something about the garden
【小題2】How did Sarah feel about the author's explanation?
A．Confused.B．BoreciC．Satisfied.D．Excited.
【小題3】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．By reflecting on ourselves, we can better ourselves.
B．It is necessary to force others to remove some things.
C．The community and culture force us to change.
D．It is natural to keep some old clothes.
【小題4】From the text, we can conclude that the author___________.
A．does not like nature much
B．takes the chilcl's feelings lightly
C．is both a logical and thoughtful person
D．loves to see his daughter excited about animals
【小題5】Which of the following could be the best title for the article?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳答案。選項(xiàng)中有兩個(gè)為多余選項(xiàng)

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the world. OK means all right or acceptable it expresses agreement or approval.

___1.___ .Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw. The Choctaw word “oken” means the same as the American word “okay”. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the 19th century.

But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word OK in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s. __2.___.Some foreign –born people wrote “all correct” as “o-l-l k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters O.K. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his names--- O and K --- on each object people gave him to send on the train.

__3._ The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840. They called their group the OK Club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin Van Buren was born--- Old Kinderhook, New York.

Then there is the expression A-OK. It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.”__4.__ One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.

There are also funny ways to say okay. __5.__ .These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series, “The Simpsons”, says it another way. He says okely-dokely.

A.      Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke.

B.      Still others say a political organization invented the word.

C.      Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.

D.      But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means.

E.       Language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F.       It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the words “all correct”.

G.      However, some exerts say the expression did not begin with the space age.
