After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner.   36  woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made   37  impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to   38 her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you   39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be   40  to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it   41  moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work,   42  I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I   43  that, she, too, seemed to be   44  about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to   45  her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that,   46  not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there   47  at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was   48  her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an)   49  conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days   50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do   51  for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note   52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the   53  dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your   54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be   55  till“some other time”.

小题1:A

无论多么忙，我们都应当和家人经常交流、共处，千万不要以各种理由把和家人交流、共处的时间一次次地推迟，因为生活中有些事情是不能往后推的，否则，有可能会留下终生的遗憾……
小题1:B。This other这个其它的。这个其它的妇女是我的母亲。
小题1:D 这里it 代替后面的不定式，作形式宾语。
小题1:D 由上下文可知，作者邀请母亲外出吃饭。invite sb. to do sth.邀请某人做某事。其他各词也可用于这种结构，但force 意思是“强迫”，order 意为“命令”，advise 意为“建议”，均不符合语境。
小题1:C 这么多年来第一次被儿子邀请出去吃饭，还以为儿子出什么事了呢？所以关切地问“你还好吗？”
小题1:B pleased 和glad 是用来描述人的情绪的，而这里主语是一件事情(to spend some time with you)，这是作者对母亲说的话，所以选pleasant(令人愉快的)。
小题1:B 句意为：她想了一会儿(for a moment)，同意了。
小题1:C 句意为：当我开车去接她的时候，有点紧张。as 意为“当……的时候”。
小题1:A notice 意为“留意，注意到”；observe 意为“观察某种自然现象”；watch 意为“观看，有意识地注意看”；hear 意为“听见”。根据语境暗示，可以看出此处表示的应是“注意到”。
小题1:C 上文提到“我”开车去接母亲时有点紧张，由too 可以看出，母亲对这次约会也感到有点“紧张”。
小题1:B 由后面的宾语wedding anniversary 可以看出，应选celebrate。 celebrate 表达“庆祝”之意，限于事物，如节日、胜利、结婚纪念、生日等，是指以仪式、典礼等活动庆祝令人欢乐的事或日子。而congratulate指对人进行祝贺，常构成短语congratulate sb. on sth.，表达“为某事而祝贺某人”的意思。
小题1:A 由句意“这家饭店不是最好的，但却非常漂亮、舒适”可知，前后两句应是转折关系。
小题1:B 由语境可知，这次特殊的约会，妈妈特别重视，这么久以来第一次和儿子面对面坐在一起，所以stare at(凝视)最符合语境。如果选择smile 则和下文意思重复。
小题1:D “在嘴唇(脸等)上”应用介词on。
小题1:C agreeable愉快的。由语境尤其是下文可以看出，这次谈话是令人愉快的。
小题1:A“时间段＋later”意思是“多久以后”。如果用after 应放在时间段之前。
小题1:A 句意为：妈妈的去世是这么突然，以至于我没有机会为她做任何事情。not…anything…＝nothing。
小题1:B say 表示信上写着什么内容，用saying 是现在分词作定语。
小题1:D 这顿饭刚结束，自然是盼望着下一顿了。
小题1:C 由后面的them可以看出，这里应选family(家人)，生活中没有比你的家人更重要的了。
小题1:A 由前文讲述的故事可看出，作者要表达的意思是：这些事情是不能拖到以后的。put off 推迟，拖延。

Two friends visited the zoo together. The zoo was very large and it was   36  to go everywhere. They had to decide where and which animal to visit as their time was   37 . So both of them agreed not to   38  after choosing a   39  at every fork (岔路口).

One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, this uninvited guest was a bird--- a(n) __1__, to be more precise(精确地).

We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was easy to make __5__. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children at all. But there was that __6_ again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I __7__ the sparrow. It was flying __8__ just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly trying to __9__, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down and out through the open _10__. So the bird continued beating its wings and hitting its head against the __11__.
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be __12__.”
“Well, maybe it’s because of me,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide (滑翔) down a few feet so it could get outside, __13__ that only seemed to frighten it more.
“Why don’t we just __14__?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll __15__ eventually.”
So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing struggle. Then suddenly, it was __16__. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was __17__.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he would make it.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it __18__ him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to __19__. Born to go upward, we don’t __20__ consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping(拍打) around and just glide down a little bit.

When I was young, I really doubted whether there was love between my parents．Every day they were busy earning money so that they could   36 the high tuition my brother and I needed．They didn’t   37 in the romantic ways that I read in books or saw on TV．

American author Mark Twain once noted that “life would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Twain’s words were only one of many complaints about aging. The ancient Greek poet Homer called old age “hateful”, and William Shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”.
Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 B.C., may have been looking for a river that healed the ravages of age. During the 12^th century A.D., a king called Prester John ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.
But the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16^th-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. He thought it would be found in Florida. In St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., there’s a tourist attraction. It is said to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now Florida in 1513. However, elderly visitors who drink the spring’s water don’t turn into teenagers.
But the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing(有吸引力的) that it survives anyway, says Ryan K. Smith, a professor of history. “People are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.”
Still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a Spanish mission dating back to St. Augustine’s founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. Michelle Reyna, a spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Arc

haeological Park in St. Augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860.

A．People find much pleasure in looking for it.
