本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在快餐店吃饭时发生的一件事：作者的汉堡和可乐撒了，不小心弄脏了别人的衣服，不但没有被责骂，对方反而给作者钱再买一份。作者永远忘不掉那名男子用不同的方式教育了自己。
小题1:解析：选A。order“点(菜)，命令，订货”；make“做，制作”；arrange“安排，筹划，排列”；demand“要求”。由前面的my friends and I went to a fast food restaurant可知作者和朋友去了快餐店，并且从26题后面的hamburgers and Coca Cola可知作者和朋友“点餐”了，所以此处要用ordered。
小题2:解析：选A。作者点餐了，端着自己的“食物”朝空桌子走去，所以此处要用food。
小题3:解析：选B。从下面的the tray(托盘)that I was holding slipped可知作者的托盘之所以滑掉，是因为作者的钱包带子“缠在椅子上了”，这里是一种无意识的行为，所以要用caught；而fixed“固定”和tied“绑，系”都是有意识的行为，所以可以排除A和D两项。
小题4:解析：选C。由前面的I was holding知，作者本来是自己端着的，因此托盘是从作者的手中滑落的，所以此处要用from。
小题5:解析：选B。作者的托盘滑落了，因此托盘和里面的食物“落到”了旁边的那个人身上，所以此处要用fell。
小题6:解析：选A。take a bite of的意思为“咬一口”，从空格后面的a bite of his sandwich可知他是正要吃三明治。
小题7:解析：选C。作者的食物撒到了那个正在吃饭的人的身上，而且饮料也弄湿了人家的白衬衫，所以作者感到“震惊”shocked；这时候作者的感觉不是“泄气”discouraged，也不会有“失望”disappointed的感觉，更不是“生气”annoyed。
小题8:解析：选D。作者弄脏了别人的衣服，因为害怕而“闭上了”眼睛，所以此处要用closed。roll滚动；rub摩擦；narrow(使)变窄。
小题9:解析：选C。作者犯了错，因此等待着那个人的“勃然大怒”，所以此处要用burst of anger。bitterness痛苦；anxiety焦虑；sorrow难过。由语境和短语含义可知应选C项。
小题10:解析：选B。他说的内容是It’s OK“没关系”，所以那名男子这样说是在“安慰”作者，因为前面提到了作者的担心和害怕，所以此处要用comfort。satisfy使满意；encourage鼓励；praise表扬。
小题11:解析：选C。从后面的“my friends and I went to a table and sat there”可知作者和自己的朋友“不知道该做什么了”，所以此处要用what to do。
小题12:解析：选C。mild温和的；honest诚实的；calm镇静的；modest谦虚的，端庄的。作者和朋友肯定是特别紧张和害怕，因此他们想尽力表现出来的应该是“镇定”。C项符合上下文语境。
小题13:解析：选B。从前面的the man came out of the washroom可知男子从洗手间出来了，并且从第39空后面的I thought he was going to ask for...可以得知男子走到了作者和朋友的身边，因此那名男子是“走近”我们的桌子，所以此处要用approach“走近，靠近”。push推，按；draw(向某一方向)移动；lay安置，放下。
小题14:解析：选A。作者很害怕，因此感觉自己的心好像停止了跳动，所以此处要用beat“跳(动)。”break稍停，休息；sink下沉，沉没；tremble颤抖，摇晃。
小题15:解析：选C。从下面的call him可知作者想象的是那名男子给自己的父亲打电话，因此作者猜想他肯定想要自己父亲的“电话号码”，所以此处要用number。
小题16:解析：选B。从前面的handed us some cash可知他给作者和朋友一些钱让他们再买新的汉堡，所以此处要用buy。
小题17:解析：选D。从下文的without even finishing his food可知那名男子“离开了”，所以此处要用walked away。
小题18:解析：选D。“那名男子本可以使已经让人不舒服的情况更糟的”和后面的“他选择了不同的方式”是一种转折关系，所以此处要用but。
小题19:解析：选A。作者给他造成了麻烦，他没有恼火，反而给作者钱去买饭，这让作者和其朋友相信世界上有“善良”，所以此处要用kindness。而happiness意为“幸福”；politeness意为“礼貌”；brightness则有“明亮，聪明”的意思。
小题20:解析：选A。作者永远不会“忘记”那名男子的善良举动，所以此处要用forget。 |

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
小题1:According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?| A．Because they are traditional and safe. | | B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive. | | C．Because they are colorful and available. | | D．Because they are fast and environment friendly. |
小题2:The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.| A．to ride it for fun | | B．to use it for transport | | C．to experience local culture | | D．to improve his riding skills |
小题3:How did the author feel about his street crossing?| A．It was boring. | B．It was difficult. | | C．It was lively. | D．It was wonderful. |
小题4:Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?| A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. | | B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding. | | C．The author was praised by the other bikers. | | D．The author took great pleasure in biking. |

Some years ago，writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events，feelings，and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words，but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all，isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old，I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley，wellequipped with pens，a diary，and a camera.During the trip，I was busy recording every incident，name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively，dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there，I wandered out of my tent，diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon，and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point，I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books，or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures，but not very often－only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I’ll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories－I just live，and the memories form themselves.
小题1:Before the age of thirteen，the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.| A．observing her school routine | | B．expressing her satisfaction | | C．impressing her classmates | | D．preserving her history |
小题2:What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?| A．A dull night on the journey. | | B．The beauty of the great valley. | | C．A striking quotation from a book. | | D．Her concerns for future generations. |
小题3:What does the author put in her diary now?| A．Notes and beautiful pictures. | | B．Special thoughts and feelings. | | C．Detailed accounts of daily activities. | | D．Descriptions of unforgettable events. |
小题4:The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.| A．to experience it | | B．to live the present in the future | | C．to make memories | | D．to give accurate representations of it |
