Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I 36 across some old love letters that my parents wrote to
each other. these letters were all piled up in a basket, dirty and 37 with dust. 38 to read and sort them, I asked
them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They agreed.
As I carefully opened each letter, all of them 39 with age, I discovered a new page 40 unknown to me in
this private chapter of my parents’ lives.
My father used to   41 in the army. So his letters were full of frontline(前线) 42 of the things about the war.
Each of my mother’s letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick(口红) kiss. I was  43 to these letters
like a magnet(磁铁).
Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very 44 and was hospitalized(住院). This time, he
was fighting a 45 kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the  46 . He told me how much receiving
those lipstick-kissed letters had 47 to him when he had been so far from home.
It so happened that the next day would be February 14. From the  48 letters I chose the card my father had
sent mother in 1944 and brought it to my father’s bedside.
At his bedside, I joked with him, saying  49 .“Today is Valentine’s Day, don’t you want to sent Mother a
present?” He became more 50 when I handed him the old 51 . He carefully opened it and took out the card,
and when he 52 it, his eyes were filled with tears.
My father, in a voice tight with 53 read the loving 54 he’d sent to my mother fifty-six years earlier. And
this time, he could read it to her  55 .

36.came across偶然碰到。hit和draw都是及物动词,所以错。
37.形容letter(信)的四个过去分词。Hidden被藏在,covered表层被覆盖;buried被埋在;filled里面充满了。结合后文的dust(灰尘),可知信件应该是表层有些尘土。
38.作状语的四个现在分词。此题的题眼在于找到非谓语动词和逻辑主语I之间的逻辑关系。装作、建议、偏爱这三个词明显跟“我”要做的动作(读信)搭配不合适,选择“决定”更为合适。
39. delicate除了比较熟悉的“精美的”意思外,还有易碎的,脆弱的意思。此处根据前文的carefully小心打开和后文的with age经历岁月的洗礼,可知颇有历史年份的信应该是很脆弱的了。此题难。
40.副词修饰unknown,根据上下文,应该选择“先前”不知道的关于父母生活的page。词汇量过关的话,此题易。
41.in the army告诉我们该空应该填vi.是以report是不正确的。根据本节其他内容,可知父亲在信中多数都是描写当时的战事,是以该空应该表达父亲当时在军队“服役”,work in 指在……工作,但serve一词本意指“服务于”,所以选C。
42.account除了耳熟能详的“账户”意思外,还可以作“记述”讲;document文件;introduction介绍;occupation工作、职业。结合前文,信中应该写到关于前线战事的“记述”。
43.正负的力量。四个用于表示被动语态的过去分词。根据后面中文解释的“磁铁”可知,我应该是“被吸引了”draw本意是“拉”,draw one’s attention等相关词组中,draw的引申义为“吸引”devote to(贡献,投身于)应用主动;abandon(抛弃、背弃)和throw(扔)都属于负向的词汇,不合语境。
44.根据后文hosiptalized(住院),可知父亲当时是生病了。此题易,写选项dead扯。
45.正负的力量。A典型的C不同的是负向的,B传统的D熟悉的是正向的。用于修饰war,因为前文提到父亲是饱经战事的军人,现在又生病了,生病对于他应该是一场和之前不一样的战争,是以选择负向的,C选项。
46.重复的力量,letters这个意象在文中出现多次,且接下来的后一句父亲和我提到了信对他的意义。
47.语法题,此题看起来像是考察动词接不定式作宾语,但其实根据本句的语法结构,横线上所填动词的宾语应该是宾从的引导词how much。正确理解的语序应该是letters meant too much to him。此题难。
48.重复的力量。前文提到我“决定”(18题)read and sort the letters,所以此处应该填被分类过了的信。
49.正负的力量。四个副词中,AB是负向的,C轻柔的是正向的,D是中性的。根据前文提供情景,我当时出现在父亲的病床边,应该选择整想的“轻柔地”对他说话。
50.作表语的四个形容词,根据上文的joke可知我在父亲病床前和他开了个善意的玩笑,并没有直接把信拿出来,是以父亲“上套”,感到好奇。
51.根据后文的open it可知此处应该是信封,此题易。后文说card在里面,所以不选A;basket扯,lipstick前文虽然提到,但是它不能被打开。
52.A发现;B写;C认出;D思念或者错失。信(卡片)是之前写过的,所以B错。信是我找到的,所以A错。D扯。根据语境应该是父亲认出了信。
53.根据前文可知此处名词应该和voice相关。震惊的声音;悲伤的声音;孱弱的声音;动情的声音。根据上文,眼中充斥眼泪,可知此处应该填“充满感情的”。
54.该空需要结合后文sent to my mother.由此可知应该是sent loving message(s) to my mother.其余各选项都与定从中的sent搭配不上。
55. A“平和的” B“私下的”C“在危险之中”D“亲自的”,根据上文,And this time,可知应该是“并且这一次,他可以亲自把信读给母亲听了”。

American embassies(大使馆) demanded that the program be called off. But Mr. Loomis supported the program.

In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children’s lives. A local policeman described it this way: “… I guess when your back is up against the wall, … we come up with super-human strength.”
Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(肾上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Today’s stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
小题1:In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to______.
A.introduce the topic to be followed
B.remind us of the unexpected danger of life
C.praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
D.show the importance of super-human strength
小题2:What does the policeman probably mean by saying “your back is up against the wall”?
A.You are helped.B.You are inspired.
C. You are confident.D.You are cornered.
小题3:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Brave MotherB.The Cause of Stress
C.The Benefit of StressD.Super-human Strength

Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(讽刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.
Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward­looking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
小题1:Through his early experimental work, it is evident that ________.
A.Nobel was a man of strong will
B.Nobel was a man of gift
C.Nobel seldom got on well with his work
D.Nobel had his heart in his work
小题2:In fact, his inventions were first used in ________.
A.a war to kill and injure his fellow menB.building roads
C.digging tunnelsD.both B and C
小题3:Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, ________.
A.took a single interest in science
B.took a serious interest in money
C.took no interest in literature
D.took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
B.In leaving behind a well­meant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
C.Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
D.Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

Dr.Mellinkoff asked to see the patient.He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt.The patient smiled and said everything was all right.Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat.The patient said that he had no desire to eat.
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing.
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no.

"Yes, yes," the patient said.

Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat.One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals."
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said.
"Very well," the doctor said."You might want to try the same method in the kitchen.It won’t be easy, but I can help you.Meanwhile, let’s get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it.Or he’ll be killed by hunger.By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish.If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him."
Three weeks later, Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power.It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.

Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
Nothing in the early years of Steve Job’s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term. He grew his hair and a beard, slept on friends’ floors, and sometimes went to a Hare Krishna temple for free meals. Like many drop-outs at that Beatles-inspired time, his ambition was to visit a guru(古鲁[印度教的宗师或领袖])in India, which he eventually did with a friend. When they got there, the guru had died.
At this point, Jobs has a limited education, and no obvious talents, apart from a notorious(臭名远扬)ability to talk. However, he did have a devoted friend who was an electronics genius. They were a great team. Without Jobs’ s ambition, high design standards, the ability to make deals and  great maketing skills-Wozniak might well have spent a quiet life designing hardware at HP.

Three hours had passed before the professor began to  44 the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor  45  the class.
He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   46 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students  47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained   48 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   49 ,” he said. “I just want you to  50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know.

While firing off pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, photographer Simon Czapp soon realized his subject had quite an interest in photography herself. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed right on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快门按钮) and took her own frames.
Mr Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire — home to wolves, deer and other animals in 25 acres of ancient woodland — after being abandoned by her mother.
Mr Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not at all camera shy. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三脚架). She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over.”
He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving with the public’s viewing window behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. But when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two pictures of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe a fox had gained an advantage over me! Jessie is a lovely little fox. There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too!”
小题1:The underlined word “frames” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.
A.photographersB.picturesC.buttonsD.advantages
小题2:What do we know about Jessie from the passage?
A.She arrived at the park five months ago.
B.She lives at the park together with some other foxes.
C.She was sent to the park because her mother left her.
D.She loved the life in the park so much that she left her mother.
小题3:What is the RIGHT time order of the following steps in Jessie taking a photo?
a. Jessie pressed the shutter release button.
b. Mr Czapp left the camera to take a photo.
c. Jessie climbed onto the camera and balanced herself.
d. Mr Czapp set up his camera on a tripod.
e. Jessie stood up to look at the back of the camera.
A.d, e, c, b, aB.a, b, c, d, eC.c, b, e, a, dD.d, e, b, c, a
小题4:From the passage we can infer that __________.
A.foxes are better at photographing than men
B.some foxes are more friendly than humans
C.Mr Czapp and Jessie took photos for each other
D.Jessie gained an advantage over Mr Czapp in photographing
