When I was a kid , my dad used to sing an old song , “ Pack up your Troubles,” while working in the morning . The song plays in my head often 36 I’m packing for a trip --- “ Pack up your 37 in your old kit bag and smile , smile , smile .” Lately , with regulations(rules) 38 daily , packing my kit bag with clothes and toothbrush seems 39 like trouble than fun , fun , fun .
For my friend , Vikki , though , 40 to pack isn’t as important as whom to pack . She 41 her family and friends everywhere. Vikki took her mother skiing in Mammoth 42 she took my mother-in-law to Rome. Vikki 43 prayer cards of her loved ones and takes them with her wherever she goes. The 44 have the images of Jesus and pictures of a dead friend and “ in loving memory”. 45 , I’m not as sentimental(多愁善感的) about Vikki’s collection as she is , but on a trip two years ago , I 46 power of those prayer cards.
Larry and I were in Peru with Vikki and Bill . We had just finished 47 at a restaurant in Agua Calientes , when Vikki 48 a small card across the table to Larry and asked , “ Would you like to have your 49 with you tomorrow when you climb Machu Picchu ?” Larry was visibly 50 by the gesture and slipped the prayer card from his mother’s funeral into his shirt 51 . The next day , Larry had his mom with him indeed .
It was then I 52 the enormous happiness Vikki must feel 53 . With all the rules today about what 54 can’t bring on a flight , maybe we’d all be a little more 55 if we focused on the things we can bring and make sure they are what make us happy or at least smile , smile , smile .

试题分析：作者在旅行前打点行装时总是对于该带什么不该带什么而烦恼，而对于她的朋友Vikki来讲旅行时带上谁才是最重要的，哪怕是印有过世亲人朋友身影的祈祷卡。通过两年前的一次旅行，作者终于体会到了Vikki这样做所带来的快乐，对于旅行前所要带上的东西也有了新的认识。
小题1:A连词辨析。A当。。。时候；B直到；C 自从；D因为。根据语境判断当作者打点行装的时候脑子里回想起儿时父亲唱的这首歌。所以A选项正确。
小题2:C名词辨析。A衣服；B牙刷；C 麻烦事；D 行李。由上文歌曲的名字“ Pack up your Troubles,”可知歌词中应该是把烦恼装进旧包，然后展颜微笑。故C选项正确。
小题3:B动词辨析。A改革；B改变；C 制作；D保持。从文章叙述可知作者对于旅行前收拾行囊感到郁闷，不知道该带什么，不该带什么。这说明关于旅行时可携带物品的规定是一直在变的，故B选项正确。
小题4:D代词辨析。A很少；B更少；C很多；D更多。根据文章内容判断作者感觉现在打点行李时不再是乐趣，所以应该是烦恼比乐趣多，故D为正确选项。
小题5:A疑问词。A什么；B谁；C哪个；D无论什么。此处是疑问词+to do 结构，而且疑问词在逻辑上做pack的宾语，从上下文可知应该是代替物的词，而which的选用需要有范围限制， 故A选项正确。
小题6:B动词辨析。A持有，握着；B带上；C递送；D制作。从下文Vikki took her mother skiing in Mammoth。。。she took my mother-in-law句中的动词可知此处填take，故B为正确选项。
小题7:C连词辨析。A 但是；B 所以；C 并且；D否则。从语境判断前句Vikki took her mother skiing和后句she took my mother-in-law之间是并列关系，所以C选项正确。
小题8:D动词辨析。A制作；B 出售；C 聚集；D 收集。根据下文所叙述的内容以及Vikki’s collection可知Vikki喜欢收集祈祷卡。所以D选项正确。
小题9:A名词辨析。A卡片；B 图片；C 故事；D 书。从上文。。。prayer cards of her loved ones判断此处填A。这些祈祷卡上有耶稣和过世的亲朋好友的的照片。
小题10:B副词辨析。A不幸地；B 明显地；C 尤其；D最后，最终。从上下文可知作者旅行时不像Vikki一样带上这些卡，所以认为显然她自己不是像Vikki那么多愁善感的人。B选项正确。
小题11:C动词辨析。A创造；B听见，听说；C目睹，见证；D凝视，注视。从下文作者讲述的经历可知Larry因一张祈祷卡而感动，由此判断她是见到了祈祷卡的力量。
小题12:A名词辨析。A晚餐；B工作；C家庭作业；D家务活。从后面的at a restaurant 判断他们是刚刚吃完饭。所以A选项正确。
小题13:A动词辨析。A滑；B藏；C写；D制作。从空后面的across the table to Larry判断她是把卡片从桌子上推过去，所以选A。
小题14:D名词辨析。A兄弟；B姐妹；C父亲；D母亲。由下文Larry had his mom with him indeed .可知此处是指带上他的母亲，所以正确答案是D。
小题15:B形容词辨析。A惊讶的；B感动的；C远离的；D困惑的。从语境可知Vikki把Larry的母亲的照片给Larry，让他爬山时候带上他的母亲，由此判断Larry是受到了感动，所以B选项正确。
小题16:B名词辨析。A 衣领；B口袋；C 袋子；D衣袖。从情理推测Larry应该把母亲的照片放到自己的衬衣口袋里，所以B为正确选项。
小题17:A动词辨析。A 意识到，实现；B认出，承认；C恢复；D抵抗。最后一段是作者对于这件事的感悟，所以此处应该填realize，故A选项正确。
小题18:B短语辨析。A时而；B始终；C曾经，一度；D决不。从作者讲述Vikki总是在旅行时带上印有过世亲人朋友照片的祈祷卡可以推断她应该是一直感觉到如此做所带来的快乐，故B选项正确。
小题19:C名词辨析。A老师；B作家；C 游客；D士兵。根据上文的讲述可知作者一直在讲旅行时所要携带的东西，而且后面的on a flight也是提示，所以此处应该指游客，所以C选项正确。
小题20:D形容词。A难过的；B失望的；C沮丧的；D愉快的。从下文what make us happy or at least smile , smile , smile和整篇文章的内容可知作者通过自己的亲身经历意识到了如何才能让自己快乐，所以D为正确选项。 |

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber --- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money .
Vicki Brown , 30 , played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt . Vicki , who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years , told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said : “ I was very nervous . But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 8 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said : “ He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.” Vicki, the only employee on duty , called her boss Margaret , 64 , and husband Stan McKale, 65 , who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston , Gateshead , at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man . Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
“ It was about ten to two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘ Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside ?’ My heart missed a beat .”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
“ I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel , so I went to watch . I could not see into the man’s room , but I could see the passage . The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing . Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带上手铐).”

An old man lived with his family. The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, dropping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily(笨拙地) at the tablecloth.
With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became annoyed with the mess.
“We must do something about grandfather,” said the son.
“I’ve had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor,” the daughter-in-law agreed.
So the couple set a small table at the corner.
There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family looked in grandfather’s direction, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy replied, “Oh, I’m making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.
小题1:Eating was difficult for the grandfather because ________.| A．his son and daughter-in-law didn’t like him | | B．there wasn’t enough food for him | | C．life was hard for the poor family | | D．he was old and weak |
小题2:The couple served the old man’s food in wooden bowls to ________.| A．show how sick they felt of the old man | | B．make the old man’s food more enjoyable | | C．prevent the old man from breaking more dishes | | D．encourage their son to make more wooden bowls |
小题3:What would the end of the story be like?| A．The couple gave their son a good beating. | | B．No more milk was spilled by the old man. | | C．The old man had every meal with the family. | | D．The whole family started to use wooden bowls. |

I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a freezing cold wet day in the winter of 1975. I remember the right moment, hiding behind a fragile mud wall, peeking (窥视）into the alley (胡同）near the frozen stream. That was a long time ago ，but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I，ve learned, about how you can bury it, because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I，ve been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.
One day in summer, my friend, Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come to see him. Standing in the kitchen with the receiver to my ear, I knew it wasn’t just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of unatoned sins (未能弥补的罪行) After I hung up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lane on the northern edge of Golden Gate Park. The early afternoon sun sparkled on the water where dozens of small boats sailed, driven by a gentle breeze. Then I glanced up and saw a pair of kites with long blue tails, soaring in the sky. They danced high above the trees on the west end of the park, over the windmill, floating side by side like a pair of eyes looking down on San Francisco, the city I now call home.
And suddenly Hassan5S voice whispered in my head: For you, a thousand times over. Hassan the hare-lipped kite runner. I sat on a park bench near a willow tree. I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an after thought. There is a way to be good again. I looked up at those twin kites. I thought about Hassan. Thought about Baba. AU. Kabul. I thought of the life I had lived until the winter of 1975 came along and changed everything. And made me what I am today.
小题1:After 1975，the hero of the story spent his life_____.| A．with happiness | B．with regret | | C．in peace | D．in danger |
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that_____.| A．Rahim Khan spoke ill of the hero | | B．the hero had made up for his wrong-doings | | C．San Francisco was the birthplace of the hero | | D．something bad might have happened in the alley |
小题3:The writer attracts the readers by using_____
a.an impressive opening b.a lively description of inner thoughts
c.concrete and vivid language d.a detailed plot of the story小题4:What is the passage mainly about?| A．A hide-and-seek game. | B．A forget-me-not event. | | C．kite-flying competition. | D．A coming-of-age story. |

I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was ___36____ there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some ___37____ to cook it in. I couldn’t ___38___ it. My dad demanded, “Who are you? Where are you from?”

My father said, “No, no, we ___40___ accept this.” The stranger replied “You don’t have __41____.”, closed the door and left.
Obviously that experience had a profound impact (深刻影响) on my life. I ___42___ myself that someday I would do well enough financially _43__ I could do the same thing for other people. By the time I was eighteen I had created my Thanksgiving ritual (习惯). I would go out ____44___ and buy enough food for one or two ___45____. Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the __46____ neighbourhood and just knock on a ___47____. I always __48____ a note that explained my Thanksgiving experience __49____ a kid. The note said, “All that I ask ___50___ is that you take good enough care of ___51____ so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of __52____ I’ve ever earned.
Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family. ___53____ she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were __54_____ in a hotel room. When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited.
We packed enough food for seven families for thirty days and went to buildings where half a dozen people lived in one room with no electricity and no heat in winter surrounded by rats, cockroaches(蟑螂) and the smell of urine(尿). It was both an ___55____ realization that people lived this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.
