    小题10:本题考查形容词。如果老人约会去迟了，老人的妻子会不会为他而担心，这是人之常情。故选B。
    小题11:本题考查副词。由she had not been able to  47__   him for five years now 可知她已经不再知道他是谁。
    小题12:本题考查动词。由下文even though she doesn’t know who you are可知老人的妻子已经有五年都不认识他了。A意为“认出，识别”；B意为“回答”；C意为“相信”；D意为“希望，期望”。

    Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
    One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
    In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
    The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
    The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
    小题1:What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
    A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
    B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
    C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
    D．Stories for children are easy to remember.
    小题2:The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
    A．presenting research findings
    B．setting down general rules
    C．making a comparison
    D．using examples
    小题3:According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
    A．a result of overlearning
    B．a special case of cramming
    C．a skill to deal with math problems
    D．a basic step towards advanced studies
    小题4:What is the author's opinion on cramming?
    A．It leads to failure in college exams.
    B．It's helpful only in a limited way.
    C．It's possible to result in poor memory.
    D．It increases students' learning interest.

    Steve Fossett did not really look like an adventurer, but he reached some of the most difficult goals in sailing and flying.
    Fossett was most proud of being the first person to fly around the world alone in a hot-air balloon. To make a trip around the world alone, it was necessary to have an improved autopilot (自动驾驶仪) device. Fossett had one of his team members develop a more advanced balloon autopilot that would allow him to sleep and do other tasks while flying safely.
    Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. He flew in the balloon’s capsule (密封舱) that was too small to stand upright. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a storm off the coast of Australia. He fell 9,000 meters into the Coral Sea with his balloon’s capsule on fire. He was later rescued at sea.
    Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. The trip started and ended in Australia. He traveled more than 33,000 kilometers for more than 14 days. On this flight, Fossett set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour. One main problem with earlier balloon flights was the threat of dangerous storms. A team of weather experts e-mailed and talked to Fossett by a satellite telephone to help him avoid such weather.   
    Steve Fossett’s hot-air balloon is now at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.  It is there as an example for other people to try and succeed in doing something important to them.
    小题1:What did Steve Fossett specially prepare for the trip around the world?
    A．He made the balloon’s capsule bigger.
    B．He had an autopilot impvoved.
    C．He formed a team to fly with him.
    D．He improved the balloon’s engine.
    小题2:Steve Fossett solved the problem of bad weather on his trip by ______.
    A．communicating with experts
    B．using his rich experience
    C．inventing a satellite phone
    D．consulting other adventurers
    小题3:We can learn from the text that Steve Fossett was ______.
    A．patient and carefulB．modest and easy-going
    C．brave and determinedD．energetic and kind-hearted
    小题4:What can we learn about Steve’s flight in 2002?
    A．He was rescued during the trip.
    B．He lost his way over the sea.
    C．It lasted over three weeks.
    D．He set a speed record of balloon flight.

    Two traveling angels(天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
    The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
    The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
    “Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
    小题1:Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
    A．Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
    B．Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
    C．Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
    D．Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
    小题2:In paragraph two, “the pair” refers to_____________.
    A．The poor coupleB．the rich couple
    C．the guestsD．the angels
    小题3:The story tries to tell the reader that_________________.
    A．angels are always ready to help the poor
    B．sometimes things are not what they seem
    C．angels are always ready to help the rich
    D．the young should always learn from the old.

    Yesterday was my stepmom’s birthday. I hadn’t been home for a long time so I wanted to stop by the house to see her on this special day.
    I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
    I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
    would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
    So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
    She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
    Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
    It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
    小题1:Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？
    A．Because gas was hardly available.B．Because the writer was short of money.
    C．Because the writer didn’t like driving.D．Because the road was difficult to drive on.
    小题2:The underlined word “pondered” in Para. 4 means ________.
    A．thought aboutB．tried on
    C．depended onD．got through
    小题3:From the passage, we can infer that ________.
    A．the writer loves his/her stepmom very much
    B．the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much
    C．the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom
    D．the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop
    小题4:Why did the writer’s father shake hands with the writer in secret?
    A．Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special.
    B．Because he wanted to give the writer some money.
    C．Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially.
    D．Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake.

    The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.
    I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not.
    The clock struck twelve.” Oh, !” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
    The clock struck one. I was quite desperate(绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them.
