试题分析:在一个干旱的夏天,连续一个月没有降雨,仿佛一切都会因干旱而死亡。一天,作者看到孩子不断地往返于房子和树林之间,出于好奇她跟踪前往一探究竟,原来孩子在一趟趟地给小鹿送水,作者感动的落泪,而此时上帝似乎也被孩子的行为感动了,恰好也降下雨来。
小题1: C动词短语辨析。A. 吸收,欺骗;B. 试穿;C. 开始做某事;D. 建立。从情理可知在一个月没有下雨的情况下,为了保住地里种的粮食蔬菜,作者的丈夫开始往地里运水,所以C选项正确。
小题2:B动词辨析。A.等; B. 提供,给予;C浇水;D.下雨。作者在下文提到儿子给小鹿送水,由此可知这是一种不求回报的给予行为,所以判断B选项正确。
小题3:A连词辨析。A当……时候;B. 当……时候; C. 直到……;D.在……以前。根据语境可知作者看到这件事情的时候正在厨房,when后面从句的动词可以是短暂性动词,而while后从句的动词必须是延续性或者表示状态的词,所以A选项正确。
小题4:C名词辨析。A.田野;B. 房子;C. 树林; D.花园。根据下文…. into the woods可以判断孩子走进了小树林,所以C选项正确。
小题5:D动词辨析。A跳;  B.爬;C跌倒;D.消失。 由情理可知孩子走进树林,看不见了,所以答案选C。句意:几分钟后,孩子消失在树林中。
小题6:C 副词辨析A. 尽管;B. 此外;C. 然而;D. 因此。 由下文可知孩子跑回来之后又一次返回树林,所以用however 表示转折,故C选项正确。
小题7: D名词辨析。 A.迹象;B.风景; C.风景,观点;D. 场景,场面。 从语境可知此处指的是作者看到的场景,感人的一幕,根据词义判断D选项正确。
小题8: A动词辨析A. 喊;B.射击;C. 看;D. 说话。根据下文A huge deer was dangerously close可以推测当时作者的心情非常紧张,差点喊出声来,所以A选项正确。
小题9:D连词辨析。 A.并且;  B.否则;C.因此;D但是。前面提到靠近一头雄健的鹿是很危险的,下文讲当孩子靠近时鹿却没有动,由此可知前后是转折关系,故答案选D。
小题10:A名词辨析。 A.口渴;B疾病;  C热;D.疼痛。文章开头提到这是干旱的一个夏天,再根据下文lift its head to lap up the water可以判断小鹿是没有水喝,所以A选项正确。
小题11:C动词辨析。A.失去;B. 不见了;C. 走了,没了;    D. 想念,错过。由上下文可知当小鹿喝完孩子手里的水时,孩子再跑回去用手捧水给小鹿喝, lost和missing均强调“找不到了”,而gone可以指“用完了”,所以C为正确选项。
小题12: A形容词辨析A. 善良的;B.聪明的;C. 机敏的; D.诚实的。由孩子所做的事情可以判断孩子是善良的,所以答案选A。
小题13:D动词辨析。 A.下雨; B.出现;D.唱歌;D哭。根据下文可知当时天上碰巧落下雨点来,所以此处用拟人的手法强调孩子的行为使上帝也为之感动的落泪,答案选A。

Everyone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve success simply because they believe that they deserve success.
But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影响的)  friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.
   At the same time, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). More and more the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, "This can't be right! $ 100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer?" The engineer wrote out a new bill: "For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99."
小题1:The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _____.
A.it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the man
B.her boss did not think she had the fight qualifications for the job
C.the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she was
D.it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague
小题2:The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because____.
A.he hit the machine to get it started again
B.the factory owner could not have repaired it himself
C.he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills
D.he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it
小题3:What can we learn about the author's attitude toward the widespread belief that "people get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it"?
A.He quite agrees with it.
B.He doesn't express his opinion his opinion at it.
C.He completely disagrees with it.
D.He doesn't quite agree with it.
小题4:According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.
B.The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.
C.Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.
D.Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.

Instead of a normal court hearing, the trial on Wednesday appeared more like a prepared drama. Hundreds of reporters waited outside the court, in the hope of learning “shocking” information about the case, which includes well-known military singer Li Shuangjiang’s son, who gang-raped a woman with another four men on February.
The case was not a public hearing because it includes teenagers, whose privacy must be protected under law, but many details had been exposed by the lawyers before the trial.
Lawyers of all five suspects and the woman’s lawyer made a lot of debate on the Internet before the trial, making the case more confused.
Wu Ming’an, a law professor from the China University of Political Science and Law, said it was a pity to see such a “performance” by the lawyers.
“It can be understood that the two parties freely spoke their opinions, but it’s not professional or wise to see lawyers do the same,” Wu said. “Instead, the lawyers should guide and persuade their clients(当事人) to calm down, especially for such a non-public and sensitive case.”
China has no clear rule to manage lawyers’ behavior before trials, “but it should be general knowledge that the lawyers of the two sides cannot leak too many details, particularly in a case that includes teenagers”, Wu added.
Yi Shenghua, a lawyer who has been following the case, said it does more harm than good to both parties for such detailed information to be exposed before the trial.
“It’s OK for lawyers to speak, but what is said must be reasonable and legal. Although judgments should not be affected by public opinion, it’s hard for them not to be,” he said, suggesting judicial authorities should speak out if the case goes wrongly.
Trials must be conducted based on evidence, while lawyers should protect their clients’ rights instead of adding fuel to the flames, Yi said.
In my eyes, the most important aspect of the case, lies in how to make lawyers do their work more professionally and reasonably.
小题1:Why was the case not a public hearing?
A.Because it included the well-known military singer Li Shuangjiang’s son.
B.Because the victim was a woman.
C.Because teenagers’ privacy must be protected under law.
D.Because many details had already been exposed before the trial.
小题2:What is Wu ming’an’s attitude towards the lawyers’ behavior of making a lot of debate on the internet before the trial?
A.approvalB.criticalC.neutralD.indifferent
小题3:The underlined part “leak” in para. 6 refers to_________.
A.give awayB.squeeze outC.break downD.sweep up
小题4:From Yi Shenghua, we know that _______________.
A.The lawyers’ behavior before trials hasn’t been ruled.
B.It doesn’t matter whether the detailed information is exposed before the trial.
C.What lawyers say must be reasonable and legal.
D.It is hard for judgments to be affected by public opinion.

I remembered that when I was a little child, I used to look for Sunday of the week. Yes, I was so looking forward to an adventure.
Now, I still have a strong affinity for buses. I used to wonder where those gigantic (巨大的) buses finally stopped. On sunshine Sundays, that’s my adventure times. He took me to the bus stop. Time passed, while I was growing impatient, he was smiling, as he always does.
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today. I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us. I waved my hands so high with all my strength. I looked hopefully at him. He didn’t move at all. He was still standing. It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn’t any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand. We managed to find seats on the upper deck. I was so excited. Only sitting beside the windows made me happy. Looking at the rewinding buildings, streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun. Then, he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop. I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.[]
That is me. I know now. I am all he cares. He wants me to be happy, as he always does. That’s the strong bond between father and son. Childhood, naive(天真)  and precious, you showed me the world and the way I look at the world. I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thanks, you are so wonderful!
小题1:Who is “he” throughout the text?

Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
小题1:John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.
A.his early education from schoolB.the deaths of his parents
C.Edmund Spenser’s poetryD.the criticism of a magazine
小题2:What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A.They read many books.
B.They had a bad childhood
C.They died of the same disease.
D.They showed strong interest in poetry
小题3:What do we know from the passage?
A.Keats received little education at school.
B.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D.Endymion was about a real love story.
小题4:While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was __________.
A.determinedB.experiencedC.knowledgeableD.impatient
小题5:What can we infer from the passage?
A.Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.
B.Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.
C.It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.
D.The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address. So I did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.
A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine. I just didn’t know what to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.
That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a Valentine and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mail.
She passed away a couple of months ago. I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy. I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.

Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.
My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.
The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.
Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有条纹的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.
Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.
But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting. )
We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends.
Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey.
