解析
试题分析：本文叙述了Kurt和他的妻子Rita无私地帮助那些无家可归的人，他们给他们提供食物，花了他们很多的钱，他们感到凭借自己的力量很难帮助那么多的无家可归的人，所以他们找到了一些食品和服装公司还有一些志愿者来捐赠一部分钱和物，来共同帮助那些需要帮助的人，Kurt夫妻两个人感到很高兴。小题1:考查名词及上下文的呼应。A. result结果；B. truth真实；C. reason原因；D. idea主意。前面的but表转折，句意为：但是事实上无家可归的到处都有。句型the truth is that…意为“事实上……”故选B。
小题2:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。A. traditional传统的；B. developing发展的；C. typical典型的；D. wealthy富有的。根据上文，此处表达的是“一个像德国这么富有的国家”，与前文的for example和后面的like Germany一致。我们中有多少人希望看到像德国这样富有的国家看到有人住在街上呢?故选D。
小题3:考查名词及上下文的呼应。A. preparations 准备；B. houses房子；C. meals饭菜；D. suggestions建议。根据后文Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches，此句句意为：他们为德国首都柏林的无家可归者做饭已经十一年了。故选C。
小题4:考查动词及上下文的呼应。A. began开始；B. met遇见；C. called 打电话；D. left 离开。根据first可知他们为德国首都柏林的无家可归者做饭已经十一年了。他们从一个漫长而炎热的夏天开始。故选A。
小题5:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。A. asleep睡觉；B. alone独自；C. across穿过；D. away外出。根据后面的Kurt and his wife stayed at home，此处是用大多数德国人与Kurt夫妇作一对比，句意为：他们从一个漫长而炎热的夏天开始，此时大多数德国人都外出度假了。故选D。

举一反三
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. |
| A．to ride it for fun | B．to use it for transport |
| C．to experience local skills | D．to improve his riding skills |
| A．It was boring. | B．It was difficult. |
| C．It was lively. | D．It was wonderful. |
| 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. |
Actually I planned the trip couples of months ago. The idea of traveling the country — making things as I went, meeting artists and craftspeople — sounded perfect to spend the summer. I’d pack a tent and a sewing machine and I’d set off. But by the time I determined my plans and hit the road, leaves made a sighing sound under foot. It seemed crazy to camp with winter on the way; Luckily, Newsnight viewers offered me accommodations in return for help with a craft task.
My tasks ranged from sewing worn-out clothes to making trousers. Textile students in Harpenden offered to pay for my petrol in return for a talk about hats. In Derby, Amy needed help to change an old pair of curtains.
I was really struck by people’s increasing enthusiasm for making things. When I asked some people if they could sew, only a few raised their hands. But when I asked who wanted to learn, nearly everyone responded positively, hoping to learn something practical.
Craft is definitely popular at the moment. But besides fashion, we’re learning to appreciate effort and quality again. Perhaps once people rediscover the pleasure to be gained from making something unique, it may stick.
Sue is director of quilts at the V&A, where next spring she’ll be putting on the museum’s first major quilting exhibition. Sue believes the return to crafting is related to how we rethink ourselves. “People, especially women, are beginning to think about the way they live their lives. It’s 40 years since the first women’s liberation(解放) conference was held in Oxford. Since then we’ve been in the workplace, and we’ve had the opportunity of choice. Now we’re carefully choosing to go back into the home.”
Whether you agree with that or not, there’s something about Christmas that brings out the artistic flavor(气息) in everyone. Whether it’s baking bread or pies or decorating the halls or rooms, we’re all prepared to have a try at any time. So if you fancy having a different and joyful party or holiday and making a few presents, try these really simple ideas, each inspired by my recent journey there. They make small and interesting gifts, and take no longer than 30 minutes each. Enjoy Christmas songs and settle down with a cup of hot cocoa, and the cold is gone. You’ll save yourself a small quantity of money and spread a little bit of love, too!
小题1:Why did the author promise to make herself a Christmas gift this year?
| A．She wanted to enjoy a different Christmas. |
| B．She wanted to make more money. |
| C．She was inspired by her trip for a BBC TV program. |
| D．She hoped to present herself with a surprise. |
| A．spring | B．summer | C．fall | D．winter |
| A．She met many artists and craftspeople on her way to Britain. |
| B．She spent a whole summer in Britain making crafts. |
| C．She was asked to sew clothes, and curtains and made much money. |
| D．Many people showed great interest in making things themselves. |
| A．be grateful to what they have gained |
| B．keep up with fashion |
| C．stick to something interesting |
| D．know more information about craft |
| A．Making Christmas presents can only convey a bit of your love. |
| B．People can find their artistic talent in making Christmas presents. |
| C．A cup of hot cocoa can inspire you to make a creative present. |
| D．It would take a long time to prepare a homemade Christmas present. |
The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two. Nobody scored in the first period. Then came the second quarter. The Team One coach pulled out what must have been his first team and put in the scrubs(替补队员), except for his best player who now guarded the goal.
The game took a dramatic turn. I guess winning is important even when you’re five years old — because the Team Two coach left his best players in, and the Team One scrubs were no match for them. Team Two packed around the little guy who was now the Team One goalkeeper. He was an outstanding athlete, but he was no match for three or four who were also very good. Team Two began to score. The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying bravely to stop them.
Team Two scored two goals in quick succession. It angered the young boy. He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving. With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball, but that boy kicked it to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time he repositioned himself, it was too late — they scored a third goal.
I soon learned who the goalkeeper’s parents were. They were nice, decent-looking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office — he still had his suit and tie on. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field and his parents on the sidelines.
After the third goal, the little kid changed. He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him. His father changed, too. He had been urging his son to try harder — yelling advice and encouragement. But then he became anxious. He tried to say that it was okay — to hang in there. He sorrowed for the pain his son was feeling.
After the fourth goal, I knew what was going to happen. The little boy fetched the ball from the net and handed it to the referee(裁判). He just stood there while huge tears rolled down both cheeks. He went to his knees, and he cried the tears of the helpless and brokenhearted.
At that moment, I saw the father start onto the field. His wife seized his arm and said, “Jim, don’t. You’ll embarrass him.” But he tore loose from her and ran onto the field. Suit, tie, dress shoe, and all — he charged onto the field, and he picked up his son so everybody would know that this was his boy, and he hugged him and held him and cried with him. I’ve never been so proud of a man in my life.
He carried him off the field, and when he got close to the sidelines I heard him say, “Scotty, I’m so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son.”
“Daddy,” the boy sobbed. “I couldn’t stop them. I tried, Daddy, but they scored on me.”
“Scotty, it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you. You’re my son, and I’m proud of you. I want you to go back there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can’t. And, son, you’re going to get scored on again, but it doesn’t matter. In my eyes, you are the winner! Go on, now.”
The little guy ran back onto the field — and they scored two more times — but it was okay. Now in all viewers’ eyes, he is the Winner.
When you’re all alone, and you’re getting scored on — and you can’t stop them — it means a lot to know that it doesn’t matter to those who love you. In their eyes, so long as you don’t give up, you are the winner. And they are always proud of you.
小题1:The phrase “took a dramatic turn” (Paragraph 3) can best be replaced by ______.
| A．went on smoothly | B．changed greatly |
| C．attracted less attention | D．got interrupted |
| A．The lone goalkeeper gave it everything he had, desperately throwing his body. |
| B．He became a raging maniac — shouting, running, diving. |
| C．With all the strength he could gather, he covered the boy who now had the ball. |
| D．He didn’t quit, but he became quietly desperate and futility was written all over him. |
| A．She thought it would only make his son feel awkward. |
| B．She hoped her son could gather courage and cheer himself up. |
| C．She considered it useless to encourage his son at that time. |
| D．She knew it was not allowed when the game was still in progress. |
| A．curious → anxious → grateful |
| B．bored → upset → delighted |
| C．calm → absorbed → moved |
| D．surprised → thoughtful → interested |
| A．The boy’s going to his knees and bursting into tears helplessly. |
| B．Team Two’s scoring another two goals after the boy went back to the field. |
| C．The boy’s fighting bravely in face of Team Two’s excellent performance. |
| D．The father’s running onto the field and encouraging his son not to give up. |
| A．A Proud Father | B．An Amazing Game |
| C．The True Winner | D．The Magical Encouragement |

Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop 33 at one o’clock on Thursday, and it was closed the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the 34 days.
Most of Joe’s 35 came to his shop from the nearest town, but sometimes he got up earlier than usual in the morning and 36 into the city to choose meat. It was 37 there.
Joe had a big 38 in his shop, but he tried not to buy too 39 meat at a time, and to 40 it before he bought more.
One 41 a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, “but some friends have just telephoned to say that they are coming to 42 tonight, and I need more 43 .”
Joe only had one piece of meat in the shop. He had sold all the others 44 in the day. He took the piece 45 and said to the woman, “This is 6.5 pounds.”
“That piece is too 46 .” the woman said. “Haven’t you got anything bigger?”
Joe went 47 the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out 48 and shut the door of the refrigerator 49 , then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, “This piece is bigger and more expensive. It’s 8.75 pounds.”
