When it is Tom’s turn for a cut, Mr. Smith places a wooden board covered with a piece of red leather across the arms of the chair, so that the barber doesn’t have to bend to cut the boy’s hair.
“Hey, young man, you’re       , you won’t need this soon, you’ll be able to sit in the chair.” the barber says.
“Wow,” says Tom, turning round to look at his dad. “Dad, Mr. Smith said I could be sitting in the chair soon, not just on the      !”
“So I hear,” his father replies. “I expect Mr. Smith will start       me more for your hair then.”
In the       Tom sees a little head sticking out of a long nylon cape. Occasionally he       glances at the barber as he works. He smells a(n)       of smelly sweat and aftershave as the barber moves around him, combing and cutting.
Tom feels like he is in another world,       except for the sound of the barber’s shoes rubbing on the plastic carpet and the       of his scissors. In the       from the window he could see through the window, a few small clouds moved slowly through the frame, moving to the       of the scissors’ click.
Sleepily, his eyes dropping to the front of the cape where his hair       softly as snow and he      sitting in the chair just like the men and older boys, the special       left leaning against the wall in the corner.
When Mr. Smith has      , Tom hops down from the seat.      , he sees his own thick,       hair mixed among the browns, greys and blacks of the men who have sat in the chair before him. For a moment he wants to reach down and       the broken blonde hair, to       them from the others, but he does not have time.
They reach the pavement outside the shop. “I tell you what, boy, let’s get some fish and chips to take home,       your mum from cooking tea,” says Tom’s dad.
Tom is excited and catches his dad’s hand. He is surprised to find, warming in his father’s palm, a handful of his own       .

试题分析:父亲带儿子去理发,理完,然后回来,就这样一个如此简单的故事,作者却把父子之间的爱与温情描写得那么动人,如此自然,宛若天成。文章向我们展现的是一个无比真实的生活世界,小孩渴望着长大,大人却想留住他们童真的时光。一种淡淡的希望,一种淡淡的喜悦,又是淡淡的忧伤。在那样一个阳光明媚的日子,父与子走在大街上,在爱中沉醉着,在爱中期望着……
小题1:D build up树立,逐步建立,增强,增进;send up发送;bring up抚养,抚育;shoot up迅速成长。根据上文的描述“塞缪尔斯先生把一块木板架在椅子扶手上,上面垫着一块棕红色皮垫。这样他给这孩子理发时就不用弯腰了”说明孩子个子不高。根据下文“……很快你就不需要它了。到时你就能坐在椅子上了”推断“个子长高”,故选D项。“以你现在长个子的速度,很快你就不需要它了。到时你就能坐在椅子上了,”理发师说道。
小题2:B原词重现。上文“Mr. Smith places a wooden board”已经提示答案。desk桌子;board木板;
couch长沙发;sofa沙发。“爸爸,塞缪尔斯先生说我很快就能坐在椅子上,不用这个木板了(不用坐在木
板上了)。”
小题3:C要理解父亲这儿说话的幽默。孩子个儿小,理发师给垫了块木板,因此父亲想必理发师会为此“向我多收你理发的钱啊!”。pay付费给某人;charge向某人收费/索要,指控;blame责怪;accuse指控。“我估计,那时塞缪尔先生就会多要你的理发钱了。”
小题4:A 根据常识可以推断:这是汤姆在镜子里看到理发时时的情景。“在镜子里,他看到一个小脑袋从长长的尼龙披肩上伸出来”。mirror镜子;book书;shelf书架;catalogue目录,一览表。
小题5:A根据上文的“Occasionally偶尔,间或”可以推测小孩当时顽皮的情形“偷偷(steal)瞥理发师几眼”。其余的几个词“discover发现,return返回,transform改变,变化”都不能描写当时的情形。
小题6:C根据下文的“smelly sweat and aftershave(臭汗和剃须水)”说明是两种味道的混合起来的味道(mixture)。lack缺乏,缺少;memory记忆;expression表情。
小题7:B    根据下文“except for the sound of the barber’s shoes rubbing on the plastic carpet and the   38  of his scissors. 除了理发师鞋底与地毡摩擦的声音和剪刀……的声音外”说明没有其它什么杂音(noiseless),故选B项。helpless无助的;fearless无畏的,无惧的,大胆的;thoughtless欠考虑的,轻率的,不体贴人的,没有思想的。
小题8:D根据常识“剪刀发出的声音”应该是“咔嚓(click)”声。control控制;direction方向;effect影响。下文“moving to the       of the scissors’ click.”也有提示,原词复现。汤姆感觉自己好像来到了另一个世界,除了理发师鞋底与地毡摩擦的声音和剪刀咔嚓的声音外,一切都悄无声息。
小题9:C 根据下文“he could see through the window”说明是通过“窗户折射(到镜子中)”而看到的。immigration移民,移居;opposition反对,敌对;reflect折射;assumption假定,假设。
小题10:D 根据常识“剪刀”发出的 “咔嚓” 当然是“声音(sound)”。rhyme韵脚;韵文,节奏;trail足迹,小径;pattern 模式,花样,样品,图案,榜样,典范。从镜子里折射的窗户影子中,他能看到窗外几小块云彩随着剪刀的咔嚓声,慢慢地浮过窗框。
小题11:A根据下文“softly as snow”可知理发师给他理的的头发“犹如雪花般轻轻地飘落(falls)”。cover覆盖;melt融化;explode膨胀。
小题12:D根据下文“sitting in the chair just like the men and older boys”说明“他在想象(imagines)”。 consider考虑;succeed成功;approve赞成,批准。他感觉很困倦,目光投向了披肩的前部,他看到自己的头发犹如雪花般轻轻地飘落在上面,想象着自己像个男人或者大男孩一样坐在椅子上,这个特殊的长凳被放在角落里,斜靠在墙上的情景。
小题13:B这里指的是理发师在椅子上放上一块木板而形成的“特别的长凳(bench)”。package包裹,包装袋;scissors剪刀;carpet地毯。他感觉很困倦,目光投向了披肩的前部,他看到自己的头发犹如雪花般轻轻地飘落在上面,想象着自己像个男人或者大男孩一样坐在椅子上,这个特殊的长凳被放在角落里,斜靠在墙上的情景。
小题14:C根据下文“Tom hops down from the seat.”说明“理发已经完成了(finished)”。对待,款待,招待;compromise折中解决,妥协,退让;entertain热情款待,使有兴趣。史密斯先生给他剪完发,汤姆 从椅子上跳了下来。
小题15:D跟下一题联系起来考虑,答案就不难得到。从下文的描述,这儿应该是“朝下看(looking down)”。look into调查;look forward盼望;look up往上看,查找。
小题16:A原词复现。从下文讲“For a moment he wants to reach down and       the broken blonde hair,”可以得出答案。blonde金色的;red红色的;black黑色的;white白色的。他低头看去,发现自己浓密、金黄的头发散落在不久前坐在这把椅子上的人们的褐色、灰白、浓黑的头发上。
小题17:C从下文“to       them from the others”我们可以推断“他是想把他自己被剪下的头发聚集起来(gather up)”。 send for派人去请;find out(经调查了解后)发现;show off炫耀。
小题18:B从上文“他突然想把自己一绵绵被剪掉的金黄色头发放在一起”的目的就是 “想把他自己的头发与其他头发分开(separate)”。separate... from把……与……分开。punish惩罚;deliver发表,递送;confirm确认,批准,证实。他突然想把自己一绵绵被剪掉的金黄色头发放在一起,与其他头发分开,但是没有时间了。
小题19:B根据上文“let’s get some fish and chips to take home”可以推断“你妈妈就省得(save)做饭了”.
“我说,小伙子,我们一起去买些鱼和薯片吧,这样你妈妈就省得做饭了。”汤姆的父亲说。persuade劝服;excuse原谅;relax放松。
小题20:D这句话是文章的点睛之笔。根据这篇文章的描述,这儿应该是“父亲抓了一把孩子头发”,他想“留住孩子的童真时光”。money钱;tip小费,建议;fish鱼;hair头发。小伙子很兴奋,他抓住了父亲的手。父亲粗糙的手指轻轻地拢住了他的小手,汤姆惊奇地发现,父亲温暖的手掌里竟握着一把自己的头发。

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with  26 lace edges. On the glass partition that  27 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  28 and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer  29 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  30 .
“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a  31 of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as  32 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  33 here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something  34 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  35 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a  36 to be a taxi-driver, I began  37 my idea into practice-to tidy and  38 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  39 after a day's work, it always remains  40 .”
When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the  41 but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes  42 on others much more than on oneself.   43 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you  44 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful  45 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

Our bedroom has no full-length mirror. There is one at the canteen entrance. I always cherish a secret desire to take a glance before it at myself in a beautiful new dress. However, each time when it comes to the fulfillment, I get seized with such an uneasiness that I literally stagger(踉跄) away—backing out at the critical moment.
At the root of it is my lack of confidence by which I have been enslaved since childhood. It embarrasses me at the mildest praise, crushes my utmost efforts to say “No”, and prevents me from asking my parents for one cent more than necessary. Among other things, lack of confidence has wormed its way into my love of piano.
At the age of 14, one Sunday morning, I was woken up by a resounding hymn(洪亮的圣歌). Tracing that call of God into a neighboring church, I found myself deeply attracted by the melody of a piano—something beyond the means of my parents. To make it worse, people say a pianist is supposed to have music in the blood, but I believe I had none from my engineer father and technician mother. For days on end, I kept thinking of nothing else. I had a dream.
It wasn’t a dream after gold, which made some of my close friends to engage in business as self-employed traders or street peddlers. I was sometimes dazzled by their gold rings or elegant necklaces behind which, however, I seemed to catch sight of skeletons in their cupboards and was frightened away from the craze for fortunate. Out of despair, I kept it to myself, lack of confidence weighing heavy on me. I could do nothing but turn to my dream for comfort, for courage to aim high and wish for the impossible. I was convinced that before I could afford anything expensive (to me, it was a piano), I should climb up the academic ladder as high as possible.
For the next nine years, I carefully held back my desire for music to keep my search for learning, especially in English studies. My efforts were so rewarding that I went successfully through high school and college in my hometown. When I received the admission notice for a second degree course at a famous university in Beijing, the national capital, tears welled up in my eyes. I knew my command of English was my wealth, for I might make a deal with a pianist who would give me access to his piano in exchange for English lessons. And that has come true!
To this day, whenever I lay my fingers on the snow-white keyboard, ready for a melody, I still feel shy. I am quite aware of my limited music talent, but as a shy dreamer, I have found my way to success.
小题1:According to the first two paragraphs, we can learn that the writer is __________.
A.helplessB.shyC.honestD.considerate
小题2: Why did the writer say her desire for the piano was a dream in the third paragraph?
a. Her parents couldn’t afford a piano.
b. Her parents didn’t want her to engage in music.
c. She thought she had no gift for music.
d. She could do nothing but accept the reality.
A.a, bB.c, dC.a, cD.b, d
小题3: How did the writer make her dream of playing the piano come true?
A.She turned to her friends for financial aid.
B.She taught English in exchange for piano lessons.
C.She was admitted to a university for a second degree course in music.
D.She earned money by doing a part-time job to pay for her piano lessons.
小题4: What can we learn from the writer’s example?
A.Wealth always comes after a great effort.
B.Confidence is a key factor in success.
C.We should be academically successful before other achievements.
D.We should make every effort to turn a dream into reality.

WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a      : “I believe he has ideas about becoming a      ; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”
Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t       Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left       than anyone else.
On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor       the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore       the award.
Gurdon got the honor       his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some       on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its      , and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then       into a clone of the adult frog. His research       for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.
At that time, many people       accept Gurdon’s idea. But later it helped to       Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the       use of cells. For example,       from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those       who have diseased or damaged tissue.
Gurdon always remembers the       he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily       to himself.
“When you have      , like an experiment doesn’t work, it’s nice to remind yourself that perhaps you are not so good at your job and the teacher may be      ,” he said.
However, the facts suggest Gurdon is pretty good indeed.

She may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.
A 17-year old student who spent much of high school living around homeless shelters and sometimes sleeping in her car-today graduated and spoke on behalf of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga.,just outside of Atlanta.
Chelsea Fearce, who held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1,900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night.
"I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on cushions on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. "I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore, she told WSBTV.
Fearce,one of five children, grew up in a family that sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at other times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one. "You're worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes and go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it, You eat what you can, when you can.”
To our surprise, Fearce overcame the difficulties and even tested high enough to be ad- mitted into college halfway through her high school career. She starts college next year at Spelman College as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-"med(医学预科),"Don't give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,”Fearce said.
