试题分析：文章讲述了一个寓言故事。一头毛驴掉到深井里，主人打算放弃它，用土把井填上。起初毛驴惊恐哀叫，但是不久，人们竟然发现毛驴把填到井里的土都踩在脚下，然后一点一点地接近了地面。故事告诉我们，当人们面对困境时，不要惊慌失措，要善于利用不利条件，将它们变成我们通向成功的基石。
小题1:C 考查副词辨析。A. 高兴地；B. 几乎不；C. 难过地；D. 非常，很。从情理可知毛驴掉到深井里，当然会伤心难过，所以C选项正确。句意：毛驴悲哀得嚎叫。
小题2:B 考查动词短语。A. 执行，开展；B. 想出；C. 遗漏； D. 小心，留神。毛驴掉到井里了，从情理上推断主人应该去想办法如何把它弄上来，所以B选项正确。
小题3:C考查形容词辨析。A年轻的；B. 小的；C. 老的；D. 大的。从下文主人做出要掩埋毛驴的决定可以推断出毛驴是老了，没什么用了，所以C选项符合语境。
小题4:A考查动词辨析。A. 营救；B. ***死；C. 出售； D. 购买。从常理可知毛驴掉井里了主人要做的就是把它救上来，所以选A。
小题5:B考查名词辨析。 A. 钱；B. 努力；C. 表扬；D. 时间。根据常识可知把掉井里的毛驴弄到地面上不是容易的事情，所以此处用effort“努力，费劲”。句意：他认为不值得花大力气把这头老驴弄上来。
小题6:B 考查动词短语。A. 绕道而行；B.过来；C. 降低；D. 共计。从下文主人和邻居一起填井可知，此时毛驴的主人请邻居们过来，故正确答案是B。

小题8:A考查动词辨析。A.意识到；B. 发现；C. 听说； D. 看到。从情理推测毛驴看到人们用土埋井，应该是明白了主人的意图打算，所以此处用realize，正确答案是A。
小题9:A考查副词辨析。A.再，又；B. 曾经；C. 从来不；D. 一旦，一次。从文章开头The animal cired 可知此处应该是“再次，又”，所以A选项正确。
小题10:B考查名词辨析。A.高兴； B. 惊讶；C失望；D.兴奋。按照情理，毛驴在一直哀嚎，突然间不叫了，人们应该是感到纳闷，好奇，所以选B。
小题11:B考查副词辨析。A.离开；B. 向下；C. 向上；D. 结束。因为人们在地面上，向井里看的时候应该是低头向下看，所以选B。
小题12:A考查形容词辨析。A.惊讶的；B. 难过的；C. 担心的；D. 生气的。上文讲人们对毛驴突然不叫了感到好奇，而且下文29空后出现的something surprising 也提示了此处是发生了让人惊讶的事，故A选项正确。句意：农民低头向井里看，对于他所看到的情景感到万分惊讶。
小题13:A考查介词辨析。A.用，具有；B.当。。时；C.因为；D. 在。。。上面。从情景判断此处是毛驴如何应对落到它身上的泥土的，后句中的do和with恰好构成短语do sth with sth“处理，对付”，句意：对于落到它身上的每一铁锹泥土，毛驴做着让人惊讶的举动。故A选项正确。

小题19:B 考查介词辨析。A离开；B. 在。。。上；C. 向上；D. 向下。从故事的叙述可知泥土是落到毛驴身上，所以同样地，生活的烦恼和困扰也像尘土一样落到你的身上，所以B为正确选项。
小题20:A考查副词辨析。 A.向上；B.离开；C.向里，在。。。里；D. 向外，在。。。外。Give up是固定短语“放弃”；give away“泄漏，赠送”；give in“屈服，投降”；give out“分发，用尽”从故事可知，人们要不放弃，才会获得成功，所以A选项正确。 |

I finally decided to 30 the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on 31 my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise 32 , so think about yourself in a 33 way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape, 34 my shot accuracy and changing my 35 .
Once in a match, we 36 our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my 37 place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going 38 . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.

The crowd went quiet. All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 43 me for this moment.

Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That"s where the similarities ended.
I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn"t. I couldn"t stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.
I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she"d outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That"s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations.
We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other"s houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.
Paris, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
小题1:The writer and Paris were similar in that .| A．they were both new students | | B．both of them were friendly | | C．both of them were tall | | D．they were both the youngest in class |
小题2:In the article the writer described Paris as a girl who was .| A．awkward and shy | B．fashionable and proud | | C．quiet and lonely | D．friendly and lovely |
小题3:What did the writer learn from Paris?| A．How to make best use of her neighborhood. | | B．How to dress and look fashionable. | | C．How to become a good writer | | D．How to make friends. |
小题4:From the article, we can see that through her friendship with Paris, the writer .| A．found she and Paris had more similarities than differences | | B．was able to fit in at her new school with Paris’ help | | C．was not so awkward or shy as before | | D．learned more about fashion herself |

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 11 . My complaints, even self-justified（自有道理） 12 , were always landing on 13 ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end up with their 14 into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to 15 my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain 16 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was 17 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 18 arriving back, the children were 19 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 20
for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 21 asking them to play a certain violin 22 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 23 ．
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 24 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 25 of well-done jobs the day 26 .
27 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its （贴条）. The bathroom mirror became the 28 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be 29 .
We all benefited from and 30 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication．
