    这篇文章的大意是一个叫彭谭的流行歌手自述自己如何在事业的巅峰变得自负,而当事业走下坡时丧失自信,最后又正确认识自己重拾自信.本题考查了考生对一些词组和词汇之间的意义辨析,以及根据前后文的联系确定最恰当用词的能力.
    对于这样的题目,首先要读懂文章的第一句或第一段,它通常给出文章主旨.然后,迅速浏览全文,进一步获得对文章整体感觉.最后再开始逐题来做.有些题目初看上去每个选项从单独意义上来说都是正确的,那么可以先跳过此题,因为也许文章的前后联系起来会给出一个唯一正确选择.这样做完大部分或者全文,也许这样的题目就有了更明确的答案.
    第36题,experience 是“经历” 的意思.文章第一句话说彭谭品尝到了处于世界之巅(即“非常成功”)的喜悦,紧接着用also和too转到life’s low(人生的低谷).很显然,应该是“经历”, 而不是“分享”,“完成”或者“逃离”。
    第37题，This 是指代前文“人生跌宕起伏的经历”，所以我们自然联想到人生经历是可以“教会”人们许多道理的。选择has taught.其他三个选项都不符合句子意思。
    第38题，首先可以排除B和C，因为real 和true 的差别不太大。然后就是A与D的辨析，realistic 有“现实的”意思，而 authentic指“真实的，可信的”。文章中have a …… picture of oneself 即要认清……的自己.所以选A.
    第39题，从前一题可知，认识现实的自我是“一切事情”的关键。所以选A.
    　　　第40题，这道题要从上下文来理解。前文提到他品尝了成功时的喜悦，此处“在事业的巅峰”与之相对应，我们排除A,但很可能选B或C；但紧接着他说自己“开始失去信心”，所以考虑到后文，我们知道更合适的选项是D,“过分自信”或者说“自负”与后文相呼应。
    　　　第41题， turn against使与。。。相敌对 turn to 转向，求助于turn down 拒绝，驳回turn over移交，翻转。　应该选A. 当一切都和我作对时我开始丧失信心。
    　　　第42题,come out 出来  come up 出现come true实现 ,come across穿过。梦是实现，所以选C.
    第43题，put oneself in…place, “把自己放在。。。的位置”。从前文“认识现实的自己”可知应该此处是“合适的位置”。　Right在此是“合适”的意思。Suit 也有合适之意，但是作动词用。
    　　　第44题，他将在北京流行音乐节上“演出”，所以选B
    　　　第45题，“制作”专辑， make an album 是通常说法。
    　　　第46题，前句提到了他的专辑名字是Teen Spirit, 这个名字“暗示”了专辑是他对自己青少年时代的思考。所以选C
    第47题，这是紧接着前文的teen, youth 来的，他说青少年时期是人生中特别不知疲倦的时候。所以选A
    第48题， dream of 梦想成为。。。这是固定搭配
    第49题，文章说崔健的演唱点燃了自己的热情， 那么这种演唱应该是激情四射的，所以选D， explosive 字面上是“爆破的”，我们可以引申理解为“有爆发力的，充满激情的”
    第50题，前文提到他在Dada 乐队独唱， 所以这里应该是 “领唱”。 lead 领导的
    第51题，来自中学的应该是同班同学， 所以选C. colleague同事
    第52题，这一句说他们登上了音乐榜的首位，得到了年度最新音乐人奖。Bag 在这里市“获得”的意思。 其他三个在这里都不符合句意。
    第53题，乐队解散了。Broke into 闯入  broke in 打断，闯入broke up 结束，散开 broke down 损坏，失败
    第54题，于是彭开始“怀疑”自己的能力。选B, 其他三项不合句意。
    第55题，adapt to sth. 适应于。。。这里是“适应自己在人生中的位置”。 reach to 到达, have to不得不  contribute to 贡献给， 都不符合。
    这道完型填空题难度为中等，没有很多生僻词汇。文章意思也不难把握。

    When studying in a middle school，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right. ”It made a deep   36  on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have  37  in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，  3 8  I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a  39 ，I know I need to change something.
    Remembering that I’ll be  40  soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big  41  in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，  42  only what is truly important.
    About a year ago I was  43  with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs   44  order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I  45  with that diagnosis all day.   46 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is  47  with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
    48  wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all  49  . No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of  50  . It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to  51  for the new. Right now the new is you. But someday not too  52  from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.
    Your time is  53 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife. Don’t be  54  by dogma(教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner  55  . And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.

    I had my first job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen who had incredible self-respect and did what she loved—serving people. She made everyone smile and feel good, customers and co-workers alike.
    Being a waitress changed my life. One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman. Thanks to the newfound confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
    The next day, I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me.”
    He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling $50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（担保）on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true.”
    I took the checks to Merrill Lynch—the first time I had ever entered a brokerage（经纪业）house—where the money was invested for me. I continued working at the Buttercup, making plans for the restaurant I would open. My investments soured, though, and I lost the money.
    After great deliberation（考虑） I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good broker. Eventually I paid back Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.
    I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted on my head forever. He had been sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his mounting medical bills. His letter read, “That loan may have been one of the best investments that I will ever make.”
    小题1: According to the passage, the author thought ______.
    A．Helen was full of complaint about her work
    B．it was easy for Helen to make everyone happy and comfortable
    C．she was lucky to have a job working with Helen
    D．it was not acceptable to live in such a bad condition
    小题2:By saying that “Being a waitress changed my life.” the author means that ______.
    A．the author got a high pay by working hard
    B．the author borrowed $50,000 with no interest from Fred Hasbrook
    C．the effort which she had made influenced her a lot

    In 1987, while serving as the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg, I would frequently visit the local high schools to speak to the students about the Army. As a lieutenant colonel(中校), I found it particularly rewarding to talk with the teenagers about the benefits of military service, if only for a few years of their lives.
    During one of these visits, I reported to the secretary in the principal’s office to let her know that I was here for the third-period class. I was a little surprised when she told me. “The principal would like to see you before you go to the class.”
    As I entered his office, I was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be in his late thirties, and he welcomed me with a smile and a handshake. “You don’t remember me, do you?” he said.
    I looked closely at the face again and could not recall where we may have met before.
    “You were my company commander in basic training at Fort Jackson in 1970,” the principal said.
    “Let me help you out,” he suggested. “You gave me a three-day pass to go home and see my newborn baby.” I immediately remembered the incident!
    “Yes,” I said. “I remember now.” It was the only three-day pass I had issued because the soldiers were on their way to Vietnam immediately after they finished training. But I knew if I did not let him go home to see his son and something happened to him, I would regret denying the opportunity he had to be with his family.
    “Come on, Colonel. I’d like to introduce you to ‘the baby’. He’s in your third-period class. By letting me go see him, you gave me a reason to stay focused and to come home safe from that war. Thank you , sir.”
    It was the most rewarding class I had ever given, and I had no problem in telling the students about the bonds of friendship and the values that Army life can provide…and that can last a lifetime.
    小题1: In the writer’s opinion, talking to teens about the Army is       .
    A．a forced taskB．a pleasant thing
    C．an unavoidable dutyD．an embarrassing experience
    小题2: Why did the principal want to see the writer?
    A．He wanted to send his son to the Army.
    B．He felt sorry for causing the writer trouble.
    C．He was disappointed at the writer’s lecture.
    D．He intended to express his thanks to the writer.

    I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard（果园）,looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe（成熟的）. Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie(苹果馅饼), and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
    The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.
    “Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
    He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know, Sophie,” he says, “ I spent the morning in the attic（阁楼）, and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe（烹饪法）for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?”
    “ But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
    “ That’s true,” he says, “ but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home… towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.
    小题1: We learn from the passage that Sophie       .
    A．likes to watch clouds in the atticB．comes to the orchard after school
    C．enjoys Grandma’s apple pie very muchD．picks many apples in the orchard
    小题2:Both Sophie and her grandfather used to        .
    A．help Grandma make apple piesB．spend summer afternoons in the orchard
    C．enjoy fresh fruit in the farmhouse kitchenD．walk alone among the apple trees

    A．how much Sophie’s grandmother loved Sophie
    B．how much Sophie’s grandfather likes apple pies
    C．how much Sophie loves her grandfather’s orchard
    D．how much Sophie’s grandfather misses Grandma
