The year I went to college was a very difficult transition(过渡期) for me. 21 is probably true with many people. I got quite homework and 22 thought about going home.
Although the 23 time for many students is getting 24 from home, my mailbox was frequently 25 . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard 26 out at me. I sat down to read it, 27 a note from someone back home. 28 I became increasingly puzzled(困惑) as 29 postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and 30 about it.
Several days later I 31 another postcard, this one 32 news about Maybelline, Mabel’s cousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another, 33 full of news of different people. I befan to 34 look forward to the next one, 35 to see what this author would come up with 36 . I was never 37 .
Finally, the cards 38 coming, right about the time I had begun to feel 39 about college life. They had been such a happy distraction(调剂) that I have 40 all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift.

21．解析：as后接形容词意为“就像……样子”。表示自己也像许多人那样想家。if用于引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”。so是并列连词，意为“因此”。what引导名词性从句，在从句中作主语、宾语、表语。
22．解析：often意为“经常”，上文中的I got quite homesick表明作者非常经常想家。carefully意为“小心地”。seldom意为“不常；很少；难得……”，与上文的内容矛盾。merely意为“单；只；纯粹；全然”。
23．解析：happy意为“高兴，幸福”，常指伴随幸福感或满足感产生的快乐心情，这种心情可能是暂时的，也可能持续一段较长的时间。表示许多学生最高兴的时刻。hard意为“艰难的”。last意为“最后的”。busy意为“繁忙的”。
24．解析：letter意为“信件”，从下文中的mailbox可知，许多学生最高兴的时刻是收到家中的来信。visitor意为“访问者，参观者”。call意为“(电话)通话”。direction意为“指示，命令，吩咐；用法说明”。
25．解析：empty意为“空的”，这是一个让步状语从句，表示两个句子之间是转折对比关系，许多学生把收到家中的来信看作是最高兴的时刻，而作者的信箱里却是空的。full意为“满的”，与短文内容矛盾。closed意为“关闭的”，不符合实际情况。open意为“开着的”。
26．解析：stare意为“盯着看，目不转睛地看 (at), 凝视；瞪眼看得…；瞪眼看，张大眼睛看”。这是一种比喻，比喻一封明信片像人人一样盯着作者看。pour意为“注，倒，灌，泻”，指大批的信件从邮箱中流出来。显然不符合实际情况。reach意为“到达”。roll意为“滚动”。
27．解析：expect意为“期待”指期待得到某种东西或发生某种情况。上文讲述了作者的邮箱里经常是空的，现在当他发现有一张明信片时，就迫不及待地坐下来读了起来，期待着家中的人给他写的东西。describe意为“描写”。consider意为“考虑”。enjoy意为“享受……的乐趣”。
28．解析：but意为“但是”，表示两个句子之间是转折对比关系。比较前后的内容可以判断出这两个句子是转折对比关系，作者本来期待着家中的来信，但信的内容却是一个名叫Mabel的事。thus意为“因此”。also意为“也”。even意为“甚至”。
29．解析：no意为“没有”。表示没有像这样的明信片。any意为“任何一个”。some意为“某个”。such意为“这样的”。
30．解析：forget意为“忘记”。因为Mabel与作者无关，所以他很快就把这封明信片忘记了。joke意为“开玩笑”。talk about意为“谈论”。care about意为“关心”。
31．解析：receive意为“收到”，表示接收者客观地收到，并不表示愿意接受与否，指作者收到了另外张明信片。mail意为“邮寄”。write意为“写”。accept意为“接受”，表示收到者经过考虑，主观上愿意接受所接之物。
32．解析：deliver意为“传达，传(话等)”，表示这封明信片讲述了有关Maybelline的事。demand意为“要求，请求；需要，询问，盘问，追究”。discover意为“看出，发现，看到”。develop意为“使发达，使发展；使发生；使进化”。
33．解析：each意为“每一个”，作者共收到了三封明信片，每一封都是不同人的事。one意为“一个”，指代上文提到的事。either意为“（两者）中的任意一个”。both表示“两者都”。
34．解析：really意为“真，真正，实在”，由于接连不断地收到明信片，使得作者真地盼望着再收到下一封明信片。nearly意为“几乎”。possibly意为“可能地”。usually意为“平常地”。
35．解析：interested作状语，表示“感兴趣的”，根据上文中的look forward to可判断出作者对明信片中的事感兴趣。promising作状语，表示伴随情况，意为“答应”，promise指给出诺言，正面、积极地许可、答应一件事，往往含有让人有肯定的感觉，但又几乎不保证结果会完全符合他人期望的意味，即只指意图，不指义务，只指美好的愿望，不指坏的意图。surprised意为“吃惊的”。pretending作状语，意为“假装”。
36．解析：next意为“下一个”，因为每一封明信片讲述了不同人物的事，所以作者期待着明信片的作者讲述下个人物。below意为“在下面，向下；在下方”。lately意为“近来，最近”。behind意为“在后，在后面，向后”。
37．答案：B 解析：disappointed意为“失望的”，因为作者已经收到了三封明信片，所以他在盼望下一封明信片寄来时，从来没有感到失望。frightened意为“感到害怕的”。excited意为“激动人心的”。pleased意为“满意的”。
38．解析：stop doing sth意为“停止做某事”。根据right about the time可判断出明信片不再寄来。continue意为“继续”。start意为“开始”，与上文的内容矛盾。avoid意为“避免”。
39．解析：easy意为“舒服的，安乐的”，作者在短文中讲述了他在开始上大学时，感到想家，经过一段时间，他已经习惯了大学的生活，所以感到舒服和安逸。safe意为“安全的”。tired意为“疲劳的”。anxious意为“忧虑的，担心的；挂念的，焦急的”。
40．解析：save意为“保存”，根据所提供的情景still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift可判断出作者把这些明信片都保存下来。lose意为“丢失”，与下文的内容矛盾。collect意为“收集”。tear意为“撕毁”。

Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year… but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference — but the scales don’t lie.
Roz Juma:
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.
Lesley Codwin:
I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem — perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though. Because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.
Ros Langfod:
Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet… I’m really good in a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate — my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.
1.What do you think the four women were talking about?
A．Different diets they prefer.
B．Their life after marriage.
C．Tex books for students.
D．Their own slimming matter.
2.Where are these short passages most likely to be taken from?
A．Talks on the air.
B．Advertisements on the wall.
C．Books in a library.
D．Magazines for children.
3.What does the underlined word “scales” possibly mean?
A．The coach in the slimming club.
B．Some tool to measure weight.
C．Glynis Davis’ dear husband.
D．The salesperson in a food shop.
4.Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?
① Glynis Davis a. I put on weight soon after I got married.
② Roz Juma b. Frame doesn’t necessarily mean success.
③ Lesley Codwin c. Facts speak much louder than words.
④ Ros Langfod d. I like myself as I am, and to be what you are.
A．①-a; ②-d; ③-b; ④-c B．①-c; ②-b; ③-d; ④-a
C．①-c; ②-d; ③-b; ④-a D．①-a; ②-b; ③-c; ④-d

How old was I? I can’t recall. Maybe I was only 10, about to turn 11, making it the first Christmas after my father left, and left me to fill that sad, shattered place in my mother’s heart. Whenever it was, it was the Christmas the magic changed: the year I stopped being a wide-eyed child and tried eagerly to play Father Christmas myself. It was the Christmas of the coat.
Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, one of the nicer women’s stores in our town’s little mall. It was a deep forest green. A long, heavy, wool dress coat with side pockets. Mom pulled it out from the rack（架） and held it up. “Long enough,”she murmured and slipped it on.
“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the three-way mirror. She made any clothing look good, and this coat hugged her just right. She glanced at the price tag, then hung the coat back on the rack, pausing once more to feel the smooth brush of wool.
Eighty-seven dollars. But I didn’t think twice. As we moved on through the mall, I found some excuse to come back and ask one of the Tobias ladies to hold the coat.
At last I had the coat. The store ladies wrapped it in their biggest box with bright blue paper and a thick silver ribbon. I don’t remember how I got it home, but I can still feel the bursting excitement and pride that filled me each time I glimpsed at the beautifully wrapped gift hiding under my sweater. I would occasionally dig it out just to hold the box, to imagine the big space it would take up under our tree. Here it was ─ joy, peace, and love ─ all wrapped up, waiting for Mom’s loving gratitude.
36. That the writer’s mother felt the coat before they left the store showed that ____.
A. the coat was of good quality B. the coat was too expensive
C. she liked the coat very much D. she’d get it in the end
37. The writer tried to act as Father Christmas in order to ____.
A. show he grew up B. show he missed his father
C. bring his mother a surprise D. enjoy himself
38. The writer hid the coat under his sweater in order to ____.
A. imagine the space taken up under the Christmas tree
B. feel the strong feeling to his mother on Christmas
C. give his mother a big surprise on Christmas Day
D. keep the new coat tidy and orderly in the box
39. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. A Merry Christmas B. Christmas of the Coat
C. A Deep Green Coat D. Mother’s Merry Christmas

On the first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “ Don’t 16 her,” warned Lauren, who sat beside me. “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many 17 differences － lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really uneven teeth.
Every day 18 we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults(侮辱) at Amy. “God，what a strange face! Stop 19 me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her glasses, and now her eyes are frightening me. 20 her put them back on!” For a while I shouted my 21 of insults, just so I’d fit in. 22 , I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart 23 for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so 24 and alone. Then I wanted to 25 her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates － 26 the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class was there, 27 Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have 28 like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. 29 we began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and every once in a while she would laugh in excitement.
On the school bus the next morning, there was much 30 about Amy and me skating together. But 31 insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year. I 32 heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always 33 that I changed her life for the better.
She changed my 34 . After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress people by trying to 35 like them. I became myself.
