The following story took place long ago in Israel.One day when government officials were rebuilding barn(粮仓),they found a mouse hole in a corner and used      to force the mice inside the hole to come out.A while later they indeed saw mice running out,one after another.
Then,everyone thought that all the mice had       .But just as they were about to clean up,they saw two mice squeezing out at the     of the hole.After some      the mice finally got out.      ,they did not run away immediately.Instead,one chased after the other.It seemed that one was trying to        the tail of the other.
Everyone was     ,so they stepped closer to take a look.They       that one of the mice was blind,and the other one was trying to      the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could       the blind one with him to escape.
After      what happened,everyone was lost in thought.One serious Rome official said:"I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and      ." The others thought for a while and said:“That was why!”
A smart Israeli said:"I think the relationship was husband and wife."Again the others thought for a while,and all felt it made     ;so they agreed.Therefore,the Israeli’s expression showed       
A Chinese,who was accustomed to the firm tradition of       to parents,said:"I think their relationship was that of mother and       ."Once again the others thought for a while,and felt this was more reasonable.So they agreed yet another time.Therefore,the face of the Chinese     professional modesty.
At that moment,one pure­minded Samaritan looked at other people,and asked:"Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"
Suddenly,the atmosphere     .The group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless.The Rome official,the Israeli and the Chinese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in      
In fact,the true love is not       on benefit,friendship and loyalty or blood relationship.Instead,it is based on no relationship.

解析
试题分析:文章大意:两只老鼠结伴而逃,因为一只是瞎子,另一只就让它咬住自己的尾巴为它引路,二者的关系引发了人们的议论。这种爱一定要建立在什么关系的基础上吗?事实上,真正的爱并非建基于利益、情义或血缘的关系上,而是建基于“没有任何关系”上。
小题1:C 名词辨析。根据句意及常识可以推测人们是用烟熏,强迫老鼠从洞里逃跑。所以答案选C。
小题2:B 上下文。根据句意:人们认为所有的老鼠都跑出来了,用escape,对应45个空后面用到了the blind one with him to escape.所以答案选B。
小题3:D 名词辨析。at the exit of the hole“在洞的出口”。选择D。
小题4:A 名词辨析。句子后面是说老鼠终于挤出来了,说明前面一直在努力向外跑。A努力,尝试;B发现;C操作;D鼓励,所以答案选A。
小题5:A 副词辨析。根据后面句意:它们没有立即逃跑,所以推断出人们看到这一现象感到很奇怪,用strangely,B感兴趣地;C幸运地;D极度地,所以选择A。
小题6:B 上下文,原词再现。根据44空格后面的句子中用到了bite,所以答案选B。它在努力咬着另一个的尾巴。
小题7:D 形容词辨析。看到前面的现象人们自然感到很迷惑puzzled。
小题8:B 动词辨析。人们凑近一看,意识到(realize)有一只老鼠是瞎子。
小题9:C 动词辨析。allow sb to do “允许某人干某事”另一只让这只盲鼠咬着它的尾巴跑。A 鼓励;B激励;D邀请,所以选择C。
小题10:A动词辨析。pull“拉”,这样它就可以拉着那只盲鼠一块逃跑,所以答案选择A。
小题11:D 动词辨析。看完整个过程,大家都陷入了沉思。A复习; B分享; C发现; D 目睹;见证,根据句意选择D。
小题12:C 考查名词辨析。空格前面有emperor(帝王)所以与minister(大臣)相对应,二者有利益(benefit)关系,而且下文提到了husband与wife,所以此处不用queen(王后),故答案用C。
小题13:D 固定短语。make sense“有道理,讲得通”。A 应该用make a difference有意义。其余答案不讲。
小题14:B 名词辨析。其他人同意以色列人的观点,自然他的脸上流露出的是得意、满足的表情。A 自信; B 自我满足;C自我控制; D 自我评价
小题15:A 上下文。根据后文55后面的loyalty可得此处是指“对父母的孝道”所以答案用A。be loyal                      to sb “孝敬某人”
小题16:D 词义辨析。mother对应son,中国人认为两只老鼠是“母子关系”。
小题17:C 动词辨析。根据前面的the face of……则知道“中国人的脸上流露出或表现出的是谦虚的表情,实际上内心很得意。A 调查 B签字 C 传递;传达;表达 D涌现 所以选择C。
小题18:C 动词辨析。当心地纯洁的撒玛利亚人提出“为什么两只老鼠之间一定有关系呢?”这个问题时让当场的人都陷入了沉思,所以这时的气氛是凝重的。A转化;B交换;C凝固;冻结;D冻结
小题19:A 名词辨析。上文提到了所有人都陷入沉思,想想刚才的评论认为两只老鼠一定有某种关系,这时感觉有些难堪,所以羞愧地将头都低下了。A羞愧;难堪 B轻松;松口气 C惊讶 D骄傲,所以答案选A。
小题20:B 动词辨析。事实上,真正的爱并不是建立在利益、友谊等关系之上的。establish用作建立抽象的东西,比如establish relations。而A、found是建立实体,比如建立公司、组织等。C、depend on依赖;依靠,所以答案选择B。

When the Farnsworth family moved to their new farm in 1919, eleven-year-old Philo was surprised to find it wired for electricity. This unusual circumstance contributed to his fate — to become an important inventor of the twentieth century.
By thirteen, Farnsworth had become a self-taught electrical engineer. He was able to fix the farm’s generator(发电机)when none of the adults could. In 1922, he read an article about a new idea of John Baird, a Scottish scientist, who had been working with the cathode ray tube (阴极射线管) for the transmission of electronic pictures and wanted to attempt it himself.
Farnsworth studied everything he could find on the subject. Although many older engineers with money backers were already developing television, Farnsworth made a bold decision — he was going to perfect a working model of it before anybody else.
In college, Farnsworth continued his research with cathode ray and vacuum tubes, but the death of his father, the only money maker in the family, forced him to give up this research and find a job. His first job was for George Everson, with whom Farnsworth discussed his dream of television. While acknowledging the achievements of those who came before, Farnsworth thought that he could get closer. Everson agreed to risk $6,000 for the research.
Backers came in 1927 to see the first American television, one year after Baird’s. They were astonished to see the image of a single white line resolve itself on the screen before them, and agreed that this new invention was worth putting money into.
In 1930, Farnsworth won a patent (专利权) for his all-electronic TV. By the time he died, he had earned over 300 American and foreign patents for electronic and mechanical devices.
小题1:When Farnsworth was at a young age, he _______
A.had to drop out of school to help on the family farm
B.was sent to school to study electrical engineering
C.wanted to be the first person to invent the television
D.had shown a surprising ability in the electrical field
小题2:What difficulty did Farnsworth meet when he first began his research on the television?
A.His parents didn’t support his work.
B.He didn’t have enough knowledge in this field.
C.He didn’t have enough money for his research.
D.No one was interested in this research.
小题3:How old was Philo Farnsworth when he invented the first American television?
A.11. B.13.C.19.D.22.
小题4:From the passage, we can learn that Farnsworth is ______.
A.the first person who worked for the transmission of electronic pictures
B.an inventor who improved on somebody else’s idea
C.an inventor who always came up with an original idea
D.a person who earned over 300 American patents for electronic devices

My parents have certainly had their troubles, and as their child I’ll never know how they made it to 38 years of marriage. They loved each other, but they didn’t seem to like each other very much. Dad was too fond of his beer, and he talked down to Mom a lot. When she tried to stand up to him, a fight would unavoidably follow.
It was my dad’s disease that began to change things. The year 1998 was the beginning of a remarkable transformation for my family. My father, Jim Dineen, the always healthy, weightlifting, never-missed-a-day-of-work kind of dad, discovered he had kidney (肾)disease.
The decision to go ahead with a transplant for my father was a long and tough one, mostly because he had liver damage too. One physician’s assistant told him, “According to your file, you’re supposed to be dead.” And for a while, doctors mistakenly thought that he would need not just a kidney transplant, but a liver transplant too. Dad’s future hung in midpoint.
When the donor testing process finally began in the spring of 2003, numerous people, including me, my uncle Tom, and my mom, came back as matches of varying degree. But Mom was the one who insisted on going further. She decided to donate a kidney to my father. She said she was not scared, and it was the right thing to do. We all stepped back in amazement.
At last a date was chosen – November 11, 2003. All of a sudden, the only thing that seemed to matter Dad was telling the world what a wonderful thing Mom was doing for him. A month before the surgery, he sent her birthday flowers with a note that read, “I love you and I love your kidney! Thank you!”
Financially, the disease was upsetting to them. So my sister and I were humbled and surprised when, shortly before his surgery day, Dad handed us a diamond jewelry that we were to give to Mom after the operation. He’d accumulated his spare dollars to buy it.
At the hospital on the day of the transplant, all our relatives and friends gathered in the waiting room and became involved in a mean euchre (尤克牌游戏) tournament. My family has always handled things with a lot of laughter, and even though we were all tense, everybody was taking bets on how long this “change of conduct” would last in my parents.
We would inform Dad that if he chose to act like a real pain on any particular day after the operation, he wasn’t allowed to blame it on PMS just because he’d now have a female kidney.
The surgeries went well, and not long afterward, my sister and I were allowed to go in to visit. Dad was in a great deal of pain but again, all he could talk about was Mom. Was she okay? How was she feeling? Then the nurses let us do something unconventional. As they were wheeling Mom out of recovery room, they rolled her into a separate position to visit Dad. It was strange to see both my parents hooked up to IVs and machines and trying to talk to each other through tears. The nurses allowed us to present the diamond jewelry to Mom so that Dad could watch her open it. Everyone was crying, even the nurses.
As I stood with digital camera in hand, I tried to keep the presence of mind to document the moment. My dad was having a hard time fighting back emotion, and suddenly my parents unexpectedly reached out to hold each other’s hands.
In my nearly 35 years of existence, I’d never seen my parents do that, and I was spellbound. I snapped a picture and later rushed home to make sure I’d captured that enormous, life-defining moment. After so many years of disagreement, it was apparent to me that they finally understood how much each loved the other. 65—70

Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a    and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too   to know the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their   was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains, possibly    the influence of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit, one who     far away from other people. 
For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly    . The tiger said, “Everyone knows the cold    when the moon wanes from full to new! ” The lion said, “Where did you hear such nonsense? Everyone knows the    comes when the moon waxes from    to full! ”
The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could     the other. They could not     any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They     started calling each other names! Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go to ask the learned forest     , who would surely know about such things. 
Visiting the     hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his     . “It can be cold in any phase of the     , from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings the cold,      from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both right! And neither of you is     by the other. The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain     . Unity is best by all means. ”
The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to      be friends.
