Susan was falling more      since she had trouble walking. Every inch of ice was a       danger for her. “I wish I could do something,” the boy thought. David, too, was having        of his own. The boy had a speech problem, so at school he talked       .

小题1:考查连词。 Where在哪;while当...什么时候;when当...什么时候;then然后。此处引导时间状语从句,因此排除A、D两项,while和when都能引导时间状语从句,但while从句须用延续性动词,且从句动作与主句动作同时发生,而when 从句谓语动词可为延续性动词或非延续性动词,此处“滑倒”是非延续性动词。故选C。

小题8:考查副词。 Few几乎没有;little很少;much非常;more更多。根据上文可知小男孩在讲话上有问题,因此他在学校不怎么说话,一次C、D两项排除。Few后面跟附属可数名词,是形容词,此处用副词。故选B。
小题9:考查形容词。Useful有用的;strange奇怪的;common普通的;special特殊的。根据句意:一天,大卫的老师宣布了一项特殊的作业。下文提到“美国发明”,一项鼓励孩子发明创造的比赛,这是件特殊事情。故选D。

小题18:考查动词。Works起作用了;operates操作;succeeds成功;helps帮助。根据上文提到苏珊在冰上走没有摔倒,可知这项发明起作用了。故选A。

Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach.      , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential.
When Joshua was four and a half years old, his younger sister, CJ, was three and attended the same preschool in a younger class.

You see, I had no expectation that Joshua would win; it was     for me to know that he was able to draw a picture and have it      with those of the other children.
Well, when I returned to     the kids, you can image my     when I discovered that Joshua was the winner from his class! Proud and excited, he told everyone, “I won the contest! I     it! ”

Some people succeed in unbelievable ways.
Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.
Three years later, Roussel’s grandfather died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life -- the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海军学员), but still made time to study music.
In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composes (作曲家). Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer.
That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow offices offered to show it to a well-known conductor (指挥家), Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussel"s navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel"s manuscript to the conductor.
小题1:Which of the following shows the right order of the story?

小题2:What ______ did played the most important part in Roussel"s final success.
A.his mother B.the husband of his aunt
C.his navy friendD.Edouard Colonne
小题3:We can infer from the article that______.
A.Roussel"s aunt adopted him after his grandfather died.
B.Roussel read through the family music collection in his grandfather"s.
C.Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
D.If Roussel hadn"t joined the navy, he might not have achieved so much.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought,“What would I say when the other kids asked what I"d        ?” Just when I started to        that there would not be a Christmas that year,three women        at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of        that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn"t        .Somebody had thought        of me to bring me a gift. Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my        . Christmas there special and memorable, I       _ remembered the woman’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of        for as many children as I could possibly.
So I        a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies,       with a child"s name. We wanted all of them to know they were        .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I        them that they couldn"t open their presents        every child had come forward. Finally the        they had been waiting for came as I called out,“One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles       up the room. The        in the room was obvious,and   wasn"t just about toys. It was a feeling —the feeling I knew         that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn"t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate.
I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt angrier. I thought, well, I shall have the last piece. “And I got it.”
The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There is something wrong with the woman,” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse then I finished my coffee and got ready to leave.
