A young student was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly 21 the students’ friend. As they went 22 , they saw lying in the path a pair of old 23 , which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a 24 close by. The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a 25 : We will hide his shoes, and 26 ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his 27 when he cannot find them.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 28 ourselves at the 29 of the poor. But you are 30 , and may give yourself a much greater 31 by means of the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and 32 how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came 33 the field to the path 34 he had left his coat and shoes. While 35 his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling 36 , he stopped down to feel 37 it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his face. He now put the money into his pocket, but his 38 was doubled on finding the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent（热烈的）thanksgiving, in which he 39 his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. The student stood there deeply 40 , and his eyes filled with tears.

小题1:考查动词。这个教授被称为学生的朋友。
小题2:考查副词。 这里用go on表示“当他们向前走着的时候”。
小题3:考查名词。 从下文“we will hide his shoes”可知，他们走着走着，在小路上发现了一双破旧的鞋子。
小题4:考查名词。 从语境的逻辑关系看，农民将鞋子放在路边，然后赤脚到田里劳动，因此选A项。
小题5:考查名词。 从下文可知，这个学生建议教授和这个农民开一个玩笑(捉弄这个农民)，把他的鞋子藏起来。play a trick“捉弄”。make和joke搭配，构成make a joke“开玩笑”。
小题6:考查动词。这里用hide oneself＋地点状语表示“躲藏在某地”，然后我们在灌木丛后面藏起来。
小题7:考查名词。 农民在田里劳作完毕后，找不到自己的鞋子，自然是感到“焦虑/着急”，而不是“兴奋、悲伤、失望”。
小题8:考查动词。 从学生的提议看，这个学生是想拿农民当乐子，因此选C项，表示我们不能这样来寻开心。
小题9:考查名词。 教授告诫学生，我们不能拿穷人来寻开心。这里用at the expense of表示“以……为代价”。
小题10:考查形容词。 从后面教授的建议可知选D项，既然你有钱，那么就该用有钱的方式来开这个玩笑。
小题11:考查名词。 这里用pleasure与前面的amuse呼应，教授建议学生用另外一种方式和这个农民开玩笑，并且这个玩笑会让人觉得更有乐趣。
小题12:考查动词。从语境看，这师生二人是要看生活的乐趣，而且是躲到灌木丛后面观看，因此选B项，用watch表示“观察”。notice多指无意间看见；realize“意识到”；find“发现，找到”。每只鞋里放一枚硬币，然后我们藏起来，用这样的方式来看看，当这个农民发现自己的鞋子里有硬币的时候，这一发现对他有什么影响。
小题13:考查介词。 这里用across指“从……一边到另一边，横过”：农民完成了田里的劳作，穿过田地来到小路上。
小题14:考查连词。 这里用where引导定语从句表地点：这个农民来到他当初放鞋子和衣服的小路上。
小题15:考查动词短语。 这里表示农民穿上衣服，强调动作，用putting on。wear指穿着的状态，不接on；dress up“装扮”；pull in“进站停靠”。
小题16:考查形容词。 这个农民一边穿衣服，一边把脚放进鞋子里，突然感觉到鞋子里有硬邦邦的东西(前面提到的硬币)。
小题17:考查连词。 于是，农民弯下腰去摸，看鞋子里是什么，此处应用what引导宾语从句。
小题18:考查名词。 前面提到这个农民在发现一只鞋子里的硬币时觉得惊讶(Astonishment and wonder)，因此本题不难判断选C项。
小题19:考查动词。 农民跪倒在地，看着天，很虔诚地感谢上帝，并且说到他家的窘境：老婆生病了，孩子们没有面包吃。
小题20:考查动词。 听到农民说的这番话，学生被深深打动了，眼中噙满热泪。 |

Have you ever heard the old saying ,"Never judge a book by its cover" ?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young people with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don"t make mistake of thinking him stupid, with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody .
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class .
It all boils down to this: you can"t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person"s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situation you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don"t judge a book by its cover .

His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧视). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can 41 on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll 42 that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a 43 announcer(播音员). So I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got 44 every time.
In one station, a kind lady told me that 45 stations wouldn’t risk employing a person without 46 since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.
I returned to Dixon, 47 I had finished my high school education and had 48 in the school football team. My father said that our town had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to 49 its sports department(部门). The job sounded just 50 for me but I wasn’t hired.
My 51 had shown as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mum 52 me. Dad offered me his car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired a/an 53 . 54 I left his office, my frustration boiled over(发怒).I asked aloud, “ 55 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer 56 he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
Suddenly, I heard the director 57 .“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to 58 an imaginary game.
It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 59 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 60 Saturday.

I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations (违反)．It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.
I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work，I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it. The fact is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的)that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.
The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately，I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before，there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”，I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road，perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.
People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly，it never occurred to me. I felt guilty. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there，as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.
小题1:What is this passage mainly about?| A．The writer’s most unforgettable experience. | | B．How the writer got her first ticket. | | C．An accident caused by the writer. | | D．Why the writer is always so careful. |
小题2:We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to ________.| A．people who are crazy about driving cars | | B．a club for drivers without much experience | | C．people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules | | D．a club for people to talk about their driving stories |
小题3:What made the writer unable to focus on her driving?| A．Planning how to spend the vacation. | | B．Thinking of the forgotten vacation. | | C．Thinking about her work. | | D．Missing her children. |
小题4:From the experience，the writer has probably learnt ________.| A．what is really important to her | | B．how to deal with policemen | | C．to enjoy the small things in life | | D．to be much more careful |
