    这是一篇记叙型完形填空，作者通过描写自己与一位小男孩的偶然相遇以及对他的帮助告诉世人：爱是相互的，有付出就有回报。作者通过描写买水果、资助小男孩上学及小男孩回报这三件事，把整篇文章串起来。
    小题1: C　从后句I jumped into the car and speeded off 可知“我”非常高兴，用 delighted。
    小题1:A　上文提到“我”开车去买水果，所以当小男孩看到“我”，更确切地说是看到“我”的汽车，他跳了起来。
    小题1:C　从上文小男孩的动作可知他非常渴望把香蕉和花生卖给作者，此处用 eager。
    小题1:B　作为买主，在与小商贩打交道时，通常需要砍价。用bargain down讨价还价，符合语境。
    小题1:C　卖方最后同意买方所出的价钱时，才可能成交，买方也才可能给他钱。
    小题1:A　这里小男孩应该找给作者零钱change。
    小题1:D　根据他找不开“我”的钱，“我”安慰他，不让他着急以及后文的 smiled a row of perfect teeth可以判断小男孩很感激。
    小题1:B　句意为：“我”又与他不期而遇了，四个备选项中只有run into有此意义。
    小题1: B　从小男孩的答语可知他说话结结巴巴。broken “不流利的，蹩脚的”符合题意。
    小题1:D　如果一个人在做某件事情前先四下看一下，说明他紧张不安，恐怕被他人看到。
    小题1:A　男孩向车里伸手，其目的就是拿作者给他的钱。for表目的。
    小题1:C　一千奈拉对于每年收入仅仅五万奈拉的家庭来说意味着很多。本题所给四个选项中，只有 make有“获得，挣得”之意。
    小题1:A　but引出的句子表示转折，由此我们可以推测作者认为security officers所说的可能是对的。
    小题1:C　上文提到小男孩说没钱买书，“我”资助了他1,000奈拉。现在“我”想知道他是否真的用这些钱买书了。
    小题1:D　短暂的沉默之后，作者以为小男孩又来要钱，却不好意思开口。用realized“意识到”符合题意。
    小题1:B　作者掏出500奈拉给小男孩，而他却往后退，好像受到了伤害似的。
    小题1:D　小男孩受过作者的恩惠，想把水果和花生送给作者作为报答。A项通常指不当面给，所以不能选。

    A pair of pandas being lent by China to Japan was set to arrive in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital and raising hopes that the animals may help improve bilateral (双边的)ties.
    Bi Li and his female partner, Xian Nu, both 5, were  due  to  touch  down at  Narita international Airport in Tokyo on a flight from Shanghai.
    Together with their keeper, the pair were transferred from Chengdu, to Shanghai on Monday morning, said Li Desheng, deputy chief of the Wolong Nature Reserve.
    The pair, which are young adults, will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo since April 2008, when the institution's beloved Ling Ling died.
    Ueno Zoo had spent 90 million yen ($1.1 million) installing under-floor heating, a playground with a sandbox and landscaping.
    The pair will dine on rare bamboo from the central Japanese mountain of Izu that is similar to what they are used to at home in China.
    The zoo's first pair of pandas arrived in 1972, marking the normalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
    Expectations are running high that the pandas that will stay in Japan for 10 years will boost the local economy and improve troubled relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
    Business and tourism officials expect them to bring in around 20 billion yen a year, or 10 percent of the local economy.
    In 1993, a year after Ling Ling arrived in the zoo, an additional 1 million people visited the attraction. Visitors have fallen to around 3 million a year from 3.5 million since Ling Ling's death.
    Since a boat collision near the Diaoyu Islands in September, Sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point. The media outlets expressed hope that bilateral relations will improve with the arrival of the pandas.
    小题1:The passage mainly tells us         .    
    A．a pair of pandas was lent to Japan by China
    B．the pair of pandas from China brought hope of improving Sino-Japanese relations
    C．the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan
    D．sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point since the Diaoyu Island incident
    小题2:en the pair of pandas arrives in Japan,         .   
    A．an additional 1 million people will visit the zoo
    B．they will eat what they are used to from China
    C．they will stay there for 10 years
    D．they will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo
    小题3:According to the passage, we know that Ling Ling stayed in Japan for about         .  
    A．5 yearsB．10 yearsC．15 yearsD．20 years
    小题4:What does the underlined phrase "touch down" probably mean ?   
    A．take offB．landC．come upD．meet
    小题5: The arriving of the pandas is expected to bring several positive effects except         . 
    A．boosting the local economy
    B．improving the troubled relations between China and Japan
    C．bringing in around 20 billion yen a year

    No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can be pleased with the fact that the number of such is relatively small.
    It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity (一致性) in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.
    What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
    Great books are probably the most widely read. They are enduring best sellers. Gone with the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
    Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
    Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
    Great books deal with the continuously unsolved problems of human life. There are mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries only honestly. Wisdom is encouraged, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
    小题1:Which is not the criterion in the following when considering a great book?
    A．Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read．
    B．A great book can be read without any effort．
    C．Great books are never out of date．
    D．Great books will not disappoint you if you try to read them well．
    小题2:According to the author, Gone with the Wind is     .
    A．a best sellerB．disliked by readers who like Shakespeare
    C．read more often than Don QuixoteD．a great book
    小题3:In the passage the underlined word “pedantic” means        ．
    A．showing the feelings, esp., those of kindness, which people are supposed to have
    B．serving as practical examples
    C．being elementary
    D．paying too much attention to details in books
    小题4:The best title for this passage is        .
    A．Great Books in Your LifeB．Great Books in Your Specialty
    C．How to Find a Great Book?D．What Is a Great Book?

    Liu Hui is very excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
    “Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
    Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
    Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
    By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
    The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
    “More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
    Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中国消费者协会）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
    “Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
    Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
    Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
    小题1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
    A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
    小题2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
    A．Choosing the best travel agent.
    B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
    C．Traveling to Europe.
    D．Cost.
    小题3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
    A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
    B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
    C．People go to different places than they had palnned to.
    D．People complained more than they had planned to.
    小题4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that         .
    A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
    B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
    C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
    D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.

    Sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
    The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.
    Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.
    小题1:According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that       
    A．it can help them learn more about society
    B．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
    C．it enables them to find flaws in themselves
    D．it can provide them with valuable experiences
    小题2:According to the passage parents and coaches should       
    A．help children to win every game
    B．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
    C．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
    D．train children to deal with stress
    小题3:The author’s purpose in writing the passage is        
    A．to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
    B．to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to children
    C．to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement
    D．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

    When you are far away from home for the first time and have a lot to adjust to，you can't do it alone. However independent you are，it is good to have a roommate during your first year.
    Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.
    Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can't always be there. Even worse, they may be self­centered and show no interest in your problem. It's not that roommates aren't like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.
    Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don't like each other，you still study，relax，and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along.
    Finally，having a roommate exposes (使接触) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city，and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don't have to end up liking the same things your roommate does，but try to learn something different. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate？
    Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides，there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years.
