The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat"s days were 31 . The doctor had said there wasn"t anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as 32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33 .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear
34 down the Man"s cheek and 35 on the Cat"s forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can"t 36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man 37 "yes".
"And where do you think I"ll be 38 I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often 40 me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
41 the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then 43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to 44 himself
for hours with it. ""Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my 45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous 46 ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then 47 his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the 48 , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and 49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier 50 Cat and very much the same.

解析
试题分析：原来很深奥的道理不一定需要很复杂的语言去解释。本文就是一个范例。文章通过猫和主人简单的一问一答告诉我们：当身边的人离去时，他们其实活在我们的心里；告诉我们：生命原本是一个无所谓开始更无所谓结束的圆圈；告诉我们：每一段生命的结束都意味着新生命的开始。只要心中还有爱，有思念，我们就可以笑对生死，珍惜人生。
小题1:A 根据上文“男人非常伤心”可以推测“他知道猫余下的日子不多了”。选numbered有限的，时日不多的；accounted解释，导致，报账；decreased减少，减小；figured计算在内，估计，推测，认为。本题最大的干扰项为C项。根据常识“对于任何生命来说时日都在减少”，用“decreased(减少，减小)”不符合常理。而这儿所说的意思却是“猫很快就要死了即剩下的时日不多了”。
小题2:A comfortable舒服的；impressive给人印象深刻的，感人的，引人注目的，可观的；considerate体贴的，体谅的；excitin激动的。句意：医生说已经没法治了，他应该把猫带回家，并尽可能地让他在剩下的时间里过得舒服些。
小题3:根据上文的描述“猫已经病入膏肓，无法救治，他感到很悲伤”，所以他此时最不可能“开怀大笑（laughed）” 。对比其余三个选项“frustrated（挫败的，失意的，泄气的）、complained（抱怨）和sighed（叹气，叹息）”，还是D项最符合语境：男人把猫放在腿上，叹了口气。
小题4:D一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊上滚落下来（rolled down），……。put down放下；记下；rush down泻，奔泻(一滴眼泪是不会出现这种情况的)；curl down把身子蜷做一团躺着。
小题5:C根据上文“一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊上滚落下来”可以推断眼泪“落在了（landed）猫的额头上”。 “landed 降落”用在这儿非常形象。appeared出现，似乎，seemed看上去，似乎；dried哭叫。
小题6:D根据上文“你为啥哭啊，伙计?”和下文“……因为你认为永远都没有什么能代替我?”我们可以推断这儿应该与“bear承受，忍受”有关：“因为一想到将要失去我，你就无法承受?”。think认为；imagine想象；remember记得，记住。
小题7:B 根据下文的回答“yes”就可以得出答案：男人点了点头(nodded)：“是的。” smiled微笑(这时候男人是笑不出来的)；shook摇头表示“否定”；cried哭叫。
小题8:A 根据上文“你认为我会到到什么地方去呢？”说明不可能“在我离开你之前(before)”，也不可能“直到(until)我离开你”；上下文更没有因果(becuase)关系，故排除BCD选项。只有A项(when)符合语境。这里“when”表示条件，相当于if ，引导条件状语从句。如：How can I get a job when I can"t even read or write？如果我连读和写都不会，我怎么能找到工作呢？句意：“如果我离开了你，那么你认为我会到什么地方去呢?”猫问道。男人无望地耸了耸肩。
小题9:B根据下文“男人疑惑地看了他一眼”说明男人的眼睛当时是睁着的，所以上文应该是猫叫他“闭上眼睛”。下文中也有提示。“闭上眼睛吧，伙计。”猫说。男人疑惑地看了他一眼，但还是听话地闭上了眼睛。Open睁开；Close闭；Turn转动；Fix盯住。
小题10:A根据下文回答“I see you. . . on the kitchen window… ”我们可以推断上句的问话是“那你最常在什么地方见到我呢?”原词(see)重现。accompany陪伴；observe观察；adore崇拜，爱慕。
小题11:根据文中“the birds”可以排除“catching抓住，逮住”，因为一只猫不可能在同一时间逮住一群鸟。根据常识猫喜欢“watching观看，看”鸟，试图逮住其中的一只；interviewing采访；admiring赞赏，钦佩。“我经常见到你……在厨房的窗台上看鸟……”
小题12:D根据上文“on the pillow(在枕头上)”顺理成章推出与“头(head)”有关。foot脚；body身子，身体(如果选这个选项为答案的话，就显得非常笼统，概念扩大)；arm手臂。句意：“我经常见到你……在厨房的窗台上看鸟……在我最喜欢的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我脑袋边的枕头上。”
小题13:B 根据上文“Pick up that piece of string from the floor—there, my ‘toy’ .(把地上的那段绳子捡起来——那里，我的‘玩具’)”可以判断是要“reached over (伸出手来拿)”的。walk over 穿过，走到另一地方；run over撞倒，溢出；turn over翻过来，接管。句意：男人睁开眼睛，伸手捡起了绳子。
小题14:A 因为上文说“那段绳子是我的‘玩具’”，故可以推断“绳子是用来娱乐(entertain)的” devote奉献，使致力于；concern关心，关注；disappoint使失望。句意：绳子大约两英尺长，猫曾经能够抓着绳子自娱自乐。
小题15:D与上文的“birth(出生)”相对应的应该是“death(死亡)”。life生命，生活；home家；family 家，家庭。句意：“你左手捏着的那端就是我的出生，而右手的那端就是我的死亡。现在把两端连在一起。”猫说道。男人又照做了。
小题16:C根据上文“把绳子两端连在一起”和常识判断就会形成一个“circle(圆圈)”。wave波浪；string绳子；point点。句意： “一个连贯的圆圈，”猫说，“这个绳子上的任意一点同其它点有什么不同吗?比绳子的其它部分更好或者更差吗?”
小题17:B 根据下文的“no”说明男人摇摇头(shook)表示“这个绳子上的任意一点同其它点没有什么不同。也不比绳子的其它部分更好或者更差”。turned转；raised抬起，升起；hit击中，击打。句意：男人审视着那根绳子，然后摇了摇头，“没有啊。”
小题18:A 与上文“I see you. . . on the kitchen window the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need…”相呼应。答案为A. window。desk办公桌；door门；pillow枕头。文意：男人用力闭上了眼睛，泪如泉涌。他看到猫蹲在窗台上，然后是他的床上，然后躺在他的重要文件上。他看到猫在他脑袋边的枕头上，看到他明亮的金黄色的眼睛，还有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛发。
小题19:B句意：他睁开眼睛，透过泪水看向他依然捏在手里的绳圈。over越过，through透过，穿过；with用，伴随；under在……下(面)。
小题20:A 从第一段的描述来看，男人对那只先前的猫是“深爱的(beloved)”。acquainted了解的，熟悉的；bothered厌烦的；compromised妥协的，退让的。文意：不久以后的某一天，他的膝上有了一只新的猫咪。她是一只可爱的白色花斑猫——与之前那只他深爱的猫是那么的不同，然而又是那么的相同。

举一反三
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unmarried college graduate student, and she decided to, put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course. " My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers, She only gave in a few months later when my parents promised that would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I artlessly chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and ail of my working class parents" savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn"t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn"t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn"t all romantic. I didn"t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends" rooms, I returned coke bottles for the $ 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.

The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby．It is this that makes chemical accidents so newsworthy．Fortunately, they are extremely rare．The most famous ones happened at Texas City （1947）, Flixborough （1974）, Seveso （1976）, Pemex （1984） and Bhopal （1984）．
Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small．No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough．The worst accident of all was Bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed．The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552．The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal．
Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger．Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity．The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs．The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep．When the poisonous gas drifted over the town , local leaders were incapable of taking effective action．The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb．The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks．Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode．Had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died．

| A．they are very rare |
| B．they often cause loss of life |
| C．they always occur in big cities |
| D．they arouse the interest of all the readers |
| A．Texas city | B．Flixborough |
| C．Seveso | D．Mexico City |
| A．natural gas, which can easily catch fire |
| B．fertilizer, which can"t be stored in a great quantity |
| C．poisonous substance, which can"t be used in overcrowded areas |
| D．fuel, which is stored in large tanks |
| A．to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry |
| B．the local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical industry |
| C．all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measures had been taken |

My editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. He was 31. The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. Somehow we got through the day"s work. The next day was the funeral.
Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears. She carried on, in Chinese of course, but at the end said in English: "There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven." Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute(哀悼), weeping openly as he spoke. Sorrow is spreading. Me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, the man"s mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. At one point, the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up. We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion.
In the UK, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral. Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair. It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the West.
Afterwards, a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained(克制) by Chinese standards. In some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens. But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank, in Afghanistan, Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. Chinese grief is no different. I realized that it"s the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world.
It was our newspaper"s production day. We were bussed back to the office to resume work. No more deadlines for our former colleague, but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print. The boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work. We relaxed, smiled, joked. There was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague. Enough sorrow had been shed already. We needed a break.
小题1:The underlined words “stiff upper lip style” mean “ ”.
| A．cold-blooded | B．warm-hearted |
| C．self-controlled | D．light-hearted |
| A．five individuals made speeches |
| B．the boss’s speech was best thought of |
| C．everyone was crying out loudly |
| D．the writer was astonished by the scene |
| A．are not willing to be sad for the dead |
| B．prefer to control their sadness in public |
| C．cry their eyes out at the public funeral |
| D．have better way to express sadness |
| A．the English might cry noisily for the dead in Dickens’ time |
| B．Chinese express their sadness quite unlike other peoples |
| C．victims of terrorist bombings should be greatly honored |
| D．English funeral culture is more civilized than the others |
| A．an editor’s death | B．bad funeral customs |
| C．western ways of grief | D．cultural differences |
It wasn"t.
After a long wait, I finally got one, but the traffic was heavy. I looked at my from time to time. Just as the traffic started moving, the driver a man up ahead in a wheelchair.
“Wouldn"t he be cold sitting right there!” the driver cried and began to .
I could see there would be another 20 minutes" — him into the cab, folding up his chair and putting it into the taxi"s small , then dropping him off who knows where.
“What are you doing?” I shouted to the driver.
As the came out, I wanted to take them back. The wrongness of my to the driver shocked me. Why did I let out the shout?
The driver me and we continued the journey. Eventually I got out of the taxi and
to the office. As I ran, I understood that, though it wasn"t my duty to take the time to help others, I shouldn"t have the driver"s stopping. I should have been able to see beyond my impatience to notice what was most inerrant (不会错的). Whenever I think of this incident, this is my : I am not a self-centered person, but I still feel
of being self-centered. Living a busy life in a fast-paced big city, do we still need to stop to help those who are in need of help?
