21---40 BCDBA CDABD CDBCA CDABB
文章讲的是两位车主因停车的事所发生的争吵以及后来各自通过一种巧妙的道歉而和解的故事。
21. B。根据第1句As I drove my blue Buick into the garage可知，此处指的是“停车”，故选parked。
22. C。由于那辆yellow Oldsmobile 停得太靠近“我”的车位，所以我的车位显得比较narrow。
23. D。由于那辆车停得太近，留给我的空间显得很narrow，所以导致“我”的车门几乎都不好打开。故选 hardly。
24. B。此处是说，这次我先把回家，即先把车开进车库，故用first。
25. A。as usual 意为“像往常一样”，指的是“像往常一样与我的车贴得很近”。
26. C。run out意为“用完，耗尽”。此句的意思是“我的忍耐力用完了”，即“我”终于失去了耐心，或者说忍无可忍了。
27. D。比较：save 挽救，节省；offer 主动提供；leave 留下，留给；keep 保持。此处说的是对方没有给“我”留足停车的空间，故用leave。
28. A。双方的车停得很靠近，所以对方猛推车门，肯定会撞到我的车门上。此处的mine指my door。
29. B。with在此表示伴随，with this 相当于 with these words，其意为“说完这话”。
30. D。在车库里，车并排而停，所以此处指的是她的车离“我”的车位的side很近。
31. C。此处指作者找到了解决问题的办法。
32. D。discover 意为“发现”，即在挡风玻璃上发现有一张字条。
33. B。由于这个字条是“以车子的口吻写的”，所以选driving，因为车子它只知道主人在开车时做什么，而不会知道其他情况。
34. C。like that 意为“像那样”。本句的意思是：(那天)她像那样吼叫不是她的本性或本意。(言外之意是：她像那样吼叫是另有原因的)
35. A。此句是在请求对方原谅，其意为：我希望你(指车子)和你的女主人能原谅她。
36. C。forgive为“原谅”。分析见上句。
37. D。此处说的是，第二天“我”去车库(garage)开车时，那辆yellow Oldsmobile已开走了。
38. A。比较四个选项，只有crazily较合适。crazily的本意是“疯狂地，发狂地，疯子似地”，对方用此词是为了表示歉意。
39. B。根据后面的…their drivers waved cheerfully and smiled可知，此处填friends最合适。
40. B。pass 指“从……旁经过”，符合文章的意思。

The worker I hired to repair my house had just finished a difficult first day on the job. A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder (????) fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn' t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didn't say a word.
I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.
On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.
The following day, I asked him about the tree.
"That's my trouble tree," he answered. "Work troubles aren't welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. "
"And you know what else?" he said smiling,"The next morning I find that there aren't as many as I remember hanging up the night before. "

A. His truck broke down. B. He was late for work.
C. He fell onto the roof. D. His ladder fell down.

A. Today. B. Last night.
C. Six weeks ago. D. Six months ago.
3.Where did the writer find the worker?

C. In his old house. D. In Blue Hills, Victoria.
4.Why did the worker touch the tree?
A. To get good luck, B. To leave his trouble outside.
C. To send good wishes to his family. D. To clean his hands.
5.What can we learn from the passage?

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks
and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
1. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers______.
|
A．made friends with local residents |
|
B．complained about the poor living conditions |
|
C．enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most |
|
D．recorded their experiences in different ways |
2. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
|
A．He always missed out on the best thing. |
|
B．He had already taken beautiful pictures. |
|
C．A sound sleep was more important. |
|
D．The next trip would be better. |
3. What is the passage mainly about?
|
A．How to view wildlife in Africa. |
|
B．Running into wildlife in Africa. |
|
C．Tourist attractions in southern Africa. |
|
D．Possible dangers of travelling in the desert. |

Motherhood is a career to respect
A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究员) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (声明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激励) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
1. How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?
A. Cold-hearted. B. Open-minded.
C. Puzzled. D. Interested.
2. How many children does the writer have?
A. 3 B. 4 C. 7 D. 13
3.Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?
A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.
B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.
C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.
D. Because she admired the writer's research work.
4. What is the point of the article?
A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.
C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.
D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
