    本文使用倒叙的形式述说了 Dorothy 学习音乐的故事。一开始说小女儿举办音乐会，由女儿美丽的歌声想到自己年轻时候学习音乐的情况。Dorothy 年轻时很有音乐天赋，先后在法国、意大利和美国学习音乐。不过由于偶遇 David 并相爱，为了爱情而放弃了音乐的学习。不过让她可以感到欣慰的是女儿已成为歌唱家，完成了她的心愿。
    1.【错解分析】典型错误:B或D.错因分析:如果忽视下文的场景设置容易误选B或D。
    【答案解析】 C。由下文的“这一时刻她等了好多年了”来看，这里说的是女儿第一次演出。由于演唱会还没有开始，结果未知，因此可排除选项 A、B 和D。
    2.【错解分析】典型错误:C.错因分析:如果忽视了上下文的场景设置易误选C
    【答案解析】B。由下文知道，Dorothy Brown 也曾学习过音乐，但由于认识 David 并结婚而影响了自己在音乐方面的发展，现在正好让女儿来完成自己的心愿。由此可知，她“盼望这一时刻好多年了”。
    3.【错解分析】典型错误:D.错因分析:如果忽视了下文的song一词，可能会误选D
    【答案解析】A。由“今天小女儿 Lauren 将举办演唱会”来看，此处说的是“她的声音真美”。
    4.【错解分析】典型错误:A.错因分析:如果忽视了文中to一词可能会误选A，介词后不可以跟to。
    【答案解析】C。女儿的演出使她想到了和女儿一般大的时候的事情。下面是回忆自己以往学习音乐的情况。go back to the days… 意为“回忆起……的日子”。
    5.【错解分析】典型错误:C.错因分析:如果忽视上下文的场景设置可能误选C。
    【答案解析】A。从下面的“当还是一个年轻姑娘时，Dorothy 想成为一名歌唱演员”来看，Dorothy 在和女儿差不多大的时候也曾学习过音乐。
    6.【错解分析】典型错误:A.错因分析:如果忽视as是“当……的时候”而不是“作为”的意思时，可能会误选A
    【答案解析】. D。当 Dorothy 还是个小女孩时，她想成为一名歌唱演员。
    7．【错解分析】典型错误A错因分析:如果忽视本文主题，以为在法国学法语则可能选A。
    【答案解析】 B。由上下文可知“她曾在法国、意大利和美国学习过音乐”。
    8.【错解分析】典型错误:B.错因分析:如果上一题选错，那么这一题也可能会误选B
    【答案解析】 C。由上下文可知，此处是老师告诉她以后有能力成为一名出色的歌唱家。
    9. 【错解分析】典型错误:C.错因分析:如果忽视文章主题和场景可能会误选C，以为是被迫去学。
    【答案解析】 A。前面说“你有能力成为一名出色的歌唱家”，现在话锋一转，“但是你必须愿意努力学习、刻苦勤奋很多年”。be prepared to do sth 表示“有能力并且愿意做某事”。
    10.【错解分析】典型错误:D.错因分析:如果忽视前后文场景则可能会误选D
    【答案解析】 C。这是老师继续说的话：在你一生中要把全部时间用于音乐，不能用在其他方面。
    11.【答案解析】 B。由 Dorothy 遇到了 David 并与他结婚等来看，当时她的年龄不可能是 8 岁、80 岁或 88 岁，当时 Dorothy 为 18 岁比较合理。
    12. 【错解分析】典型错误:B或C.错因分析:如果忽视上下文场景会误选其他。
    【答案解析】 B。
    13.【错解分析】典型错误:B或C.错因分析:如果忽视上下文场景会误选其他。
    【答案解析】A。听了老师的话，再加上当时她只有 18 岁，“她确信音乐是充实她生活的全部内容”。fill one’s life 为“填充生活，充实生活”。
    14.【错解分析】典型错误:C.错因分析:如果忽视文章中心主题则可能会误选C
    【答案解析】 D。有接近一年的时间，Dorothy 什么也不想，这里说的是她一心扑在学习音乐上。
    15.【错解分析】典型错误:C.错因分析:如果忽视上下文可能会误选。
    【答案解析】 D。前面说她有一年的时间把心思全扑在学习音乐上，这里说的是“接着她遇到了在欧洲旅游的 David”，这动摇了她学习音乐的念头。meet with 意为“遇到，偶然碰到”。
    16.【错解分析】错因分析:如果不了解fall in love (with sb / sth) 意为“爱上某人或某物”是固定搭配，可能会误选。
    【答案解析】 A。从下文 David 要她做他的妻子及 Dorothy 也想嫁给他等来看，这里说的是他们见面后不久就相爱了。fall in love (with sb / sth) 意为“爱上某人或某物”。
    17.【错解分析】典型错误:A.错因分析:如果忽视前后文场景可能误选A
    【答案解析】 C。从上文“他们相爱”可推测，此处说的是“David 要她做他的妻子”。
    18.【错解分析】典型错误:A.错因分析:如果忽视下文场景可能误选A
    【答案解析】 D。Dorothy 也想嫁给 David，“但是她也爱音乐”，她不知道怎么办，这就在嫁人与学习音乐方面产生了矛盾。
    19.【错解分析】典型错误:A.错因分析:如果忽视下文场景会误选A
    【答案解析】B。下文 David 说学习音乐和结婚，“你二者不可能兼得”。possibly可以与 can’t 连用，表示“不可能”。
    20.【错解分析】典型错误:D.错因分析:如果忽视文章主题和场景可能会选错。
    【答案解析】 B。从上下文特别是 Now Lauren became a singer instead of her 可推测，Dorothy 想成为歌唱家的愿望由女儿来完成了，故此处用 hope。will往往含有“遗嘱，遗愿”的意思，在此不太合乎情理

    I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
    We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and reassuring—and I returned her gift by smiling back.
    “Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.
    “Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.
    “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”
    “Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”
    I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
    It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
    I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart.
    小题1:Why was the writer in a hurry that day?
    A．He was to meet his girlfriend.B．He had to go back to school soon.
    C．He was delayed by an elderly lady.D．He had to pick up some groceries.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase “her gift”(Paragraph 2) refer to?
    A．Her words.B．Her smile.C．Her flowers.D．her politeness.
    小题3:Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?
    A．She told him a nice story.B．She allowed him to pay first.
    C．She gave him encouragement.D．She liked flowers very much.
    小题4:What is the message conveyed in the story?
    A．Flowers are important for a date.B．Small talk is helpful.
    C．Love and kindness are rewarding.D．Elderly people deserve respecting.

    Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively（不引人注目地）and leave no mark.
    Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.
    Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite（野营地）seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
    Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
    小题1:You needn’t ask for permission when camping in.
    A．national parks in EnglandB．most parts of Scotland
    C．crowded lowland BritainD．most parts of England
    小题2:The author thinks that a good campsite is one.
    A. with easy access           B. used previously
    C with modern conveniences     D. far away from beaches
    小题3:The last paragraph mainly deals with
    A. protecting animals       B. building a campfire
    C camping in woodland      D. finding a campsite with privacy
    小题4:The passage is mainly about
    A．the protection of campsitesB．the importance of wild camping
    C．the human influence on campsitesD．the dos and don’ts of wild camping

    A youth lay in a bath of tomato juice during the “Tomatina” Tomato Fight in the town of Bunol, near Valencia, eastern Spain.
    Tens of thousands of people took off their shorts and threw tons of juicy tomatoes at each other in the Tomatina food fight, creating knee-deep rivers of tomato sauce (酱) on the streets of this Spanish town.
    Five trucks carried 130 tons of the fruit for the hour-long fight which attracted foreign tourists. Among them are British, French, Argentineans and Japanese, as well as locals.
    On the bell of noon the signal was given and for the next 60 minutes participants (参加人) hurled tomatoes at each other until a gunshot signalled the end of the festival.
    The clean-up followed, with fighters washing the signs of battle away in the local river or under hundreds of temporary (临时的) showers. While the front of buildings were watered, they seemed brighter than ever after their bath.
    The Tomatina, held on the last Wednesday in August, is said to be the world’s largest tomato fight. In the past people have been hurt during the tomato fight but no one was killed or injured this year.
    The origin (起源) of the festival is unknown, but everyone in Bunol seems to have a favorite story. However, most agree it started around 1940.
    小题1:The passage shows that the tomato fight this year is __________.
    A．frighteningB．boring
    C．popularD．harmful
    小题2:The underlined word “hurled” means “__________”.

    A．participants can have a good rest after the fight ends
    B．the festival came from a favorite story
    C．only adults are permitted to attend the festival
    D．no one was hurt in this year’s tomato fight

        If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life，one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have．Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment．
    Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（叙旧）with the friends，relatives and acquaintances we already have．
    Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
    Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
    If you haven’t seen much of them lately。is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
    If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy，take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities（优先考虑的事）in life．Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?   
    If you have become too busy for friends，why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over．committed because you never say“No”to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so，why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
    Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities．Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you．
    If you really want to keep friends in your lire，make a space in your schedule，and a space in your heart for them．
