Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really  41  your feelings?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes, last Christmas you promised us a special  42 that I really wanted but you  43 gave it to me.”
The  44  was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I  45  , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized  46  ?”
Again, his  47  was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the  48  because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and  49    in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he  50  all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were  51 to see the suitcase had been opened and  52  had been thrown all over the place, and then you  53  me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt  54 . I hugged Keith and asked him to  55  me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the  56    question. Kevin answered as immediately as his  57 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”
58 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The  59  thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was that I’d made a promise too  60  and didn’t keep it as their mother.

小题1:词义搭配题:hurt one’s feelings 指伤了某人的情感。B
小题1:这里暂时看不出答案,但根据文章后面的提示“Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”可看出是D。
小题1:根据前面的but说明爸爸没有给孩子买玩具。A
小题1:句意是;事实上我忘了给孩子买玩具。challenge挑战message信息idea想法,都不符合句意。
小题1:这是作者和孩子的对话,这里是继续说:complain抱怨apologiz道歉explain解释,都不能符合句意。故C正确。
小题1:这里考查词组:apologize for为…道歉。
小题1:上文是作者在提问:“Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized  46  ?”孩子肯定是回答了,填B。
小题1:从下面的句子because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? 看出是去医院。选A。

小题1:根据孩子的话“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”说明爸爸错怪了孩子,感觉很糟。hopeless无望inspired受到激励的encouraged受到鼓励的。
小题1:根据上文,爸爸觉得愧疚,I hugged Keith and asked him to  55  me.因此是请求孩子原谅“forgive”,support支持criticize批评suspect怀疑。
小题1:爸爸问了另一个孩子同样的问题,选the same。C
小题1:Kevin和Keith都是作者的儿子,那他们就是兄弟了。
小题1:后面说I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised.说明是尽管圣诞节过去了,还是给孩子买了礼物。
小题1:根据上下文,句意是,重要的不是礼物,而是自己不遵守诺言。故选C。
小题1:这里表示作者总是轻易的许诺,但是又不遵守。其它选项都不符合。

In 1997, I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in: alone and begging for money in New York. My father had been separated from our family, and my mother had  recently died from complications related to AIDS. What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.
Even though I had lost my family,  I made choices every single day to turn my life around. There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door, a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance, medical care and food, all of which kept me going while I completed my homework in train stations and under hallway lights. Perhaps the most surprising help though, I did not seek out﹔it found me.  The New York Times told my story. In the weeks that followed, dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States. At my high school, I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement. Strangers showed up bearing clothes, books, and even hugs. Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard, one woman knitted a blanket for me.  She attached this note to the box it was posted in: "It gets cold in those dorms. May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".
With the help of these people, my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then. I graduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.
Before these people — some of them nameless— I just didn't realize how good people could be. But now I do, and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me. They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers .They are the reason I dedicate my life to opening pathways for others. And they are the reason I travel around the world helping people transform their own lives.

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?
