答案
解析
36.:imagination 意为“想象力”。根据短文的最后一句话“The key to our success was having the courage to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”可判断出Carolyn Stradley回忆了挑战她的想象力的工作,因为只有具有想象力才能有创造性。kindness意为“仁慈,亲切,好意,善意”;patience意为“耐性,忍耐”;experience意为“经验,体验,经历,阅历”。
37. construction意为“建设”。根据下文中的“National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved so the cars could be on site...”可判断出在1979年the Atlanta Airport在建设中,因为只有建成后才能开放。repair意为“修理,修补”；control意为“控制,支配,管理,调节,抑制”；development意为“发展”。
38. o意为“以便,为了”。so用于so that 结构,口语常将 that 省略。句意为“当机场开放时,汽车能够开到工地现场”。after 意为“在……之后”；as意为“当……的时候”；for意为“因为”。
39. when引导时间状语从句,表示当机场开放时。while引导时间状语从句时,从句的谓语动词必须是延续性动词。since 意为“自从”,与现在完成时连用表示动作从过去的某个时候开始,一直延续到现在的动作或存在的状态。where引导地点状语,意为“在……地方”。
40.:no意为“没有”。根据下文中的“it couldn’t be done in such a short time”可判断出没有任何一个公司在这么短的工期内完成这项任务。故选C项。some表示“某一个”。any用于肯定句意为“任何一个”,表示任何一个公司都能完成。every意为“每一个”。
41. state意为“声明,陈述,规定”。下文中的“it couldn’t be done in such a short time”作其宾语,表示声称不能在如此短的时间内完成任务。report意为“报导,汇报,报到,告发”;tell意为“告诉,说,吩咐,断定”;warn意为“警告,注意,通知”。
42. willing意为“乐意的,自愿的,心甘情愿的”。根据上文中的“Because we were new and really needed the work”可判断出因为是新开办的公司,又真的需要工作,所以乐意做这项工作。able意为“能……的,有才能的,能干的,能够的”；nervous意为“神经紧张的,不安的”；afraid意为“害怕,担心”。
43. promise意为“允诺,答应”。表示答应尽力在这段时间内完成任务。故选B项。support意为“支撑,扶持,支持,支援,拥护,维持,赡养,忍受”；continue意为“继续,连续,延伸”；improve意为“改善,改进”。
44. remind意为“提醒,使想起”。表示提醒他们。ask意为“问,要求,需要,邀请”；surprise意为“使惊奇”；demand意为“要求,需要,要求知道,查询”。
45. but意为“但是”。根据“they would be no worse off ”和“they had plenty to gain if we succeeded”之间的关系可判断出它们表示转折关系,所以要but连接。though 意为“虽然”；as意为“因为”；unless意为“如果不”。
46. action意为“动作,作用,战斗,行动,举动,行为”。go into action意为“投入战斗”,表示他们马上行动起来。discussion意为“讨论”；practice意为“实行,实践,实际,惯例,习惯,练习,实习,开业”；production意为“生产,产品,作品”。
47. next意为“下一次,其次”。根据上文中的“Working at night needed lights,so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site.”可判断出他们的第一个挑战是需要灯光,下一个挑战是使岩石的混合物保持潮湿。first意为“第一的”；past意为“过去的,结束的”；previous意为“在前的,早先的”。
48. wet意为“湿的,潮湿的”。根据下文中的“All the available water wagons were rented out for the airport construction,and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.”可判断出使岩石的混合物保持足够潮湿。cold意为“寒冷的,使人战栗的”;loose意为“宽松的,不精确的,不牢固的,散漫的,自由的”;clean意为“清洁的,干净的,清白的”。
49instead意为“代替”。根据上文中的“All the available water wagons were rented out for the airport construction,and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.”可判断出由于洒水车都被别人租用了,所以他们用消防水龙代替。naturally意为“自然地”；obviously意为“明显地”；meanwhile意为“其时,其间”。
50. permit意为“许可,允许,准许”。因为租用消防水龙需要特许。excuse意为“原谅,申辩,作为……的托辞,为……免去”。order意为“次序,顺序,正常(工作)状态,秩序,会议规则,命令,定购,定单”。reason意为“理由,原因,动机”。
51.答案:B
解析:personally意为“亲自地,以个人”。表示Carolyn Stradley亲自浇水。exactly意为“正确地,严密地”；angrily意为“愤怒地”；hardly意为“几乎不”。
52. water意为“浇水”。根据上文中“Our next challenge was to keep the rock mixture wet enough.”可判断出要保持岩石混合物足够潮湿就必须往岩石上浇水。pull意为“拉,拖,拔”；knock意为“敲,敲打,敲击,(使)碰撞”；hit意为“打击,打,碰撞,”。
53. require意为“需要”。表示需要想出一个又一个主意的挑战。mix意为“使混和,混淆,混合”；follow意为“跟随,追随,沿……而行,理解,遵循,从事”；form意为“形成,构成,排列,(使)组成”。
54. only意为“唯一的,单独的”。根据上文的内容可判断出因为National Car Rental在飞机场请C&S Paving Inc.建造了停车场,所以它是唯一一个在机场有停车场的公司。best意为“最好的”；last意为“最后的,临终的,末尾的,最近的”；second意为“第二，另一个,又一个”。
55. courage意为“勇气”。根据上文的内容可判断出当时没有一个公司愿意承担这项任务,但C&S Paving Inc.接受了挑战,完成了任务,这需要勇气。interest意为“兴趣,关心,重要性,影响”；hope意为“希望”；chance意为“机会,可能性,偶然性”。

举一反三
He had gone out of the study for some 37 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see 38 was on his desk. In the 39 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 40 “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.
A(n) 41 boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the 42 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 43 until the start of the exam so I could not 44 reading it.
When the headmaster 45 , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 46 then. It would have been so 47 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 48 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 49 it.”
The chance passed and I did not 50 it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t 51 to cheat, but it was still cheating anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years 52 when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, 53 have I tried to explain to myself why not.
The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen the title 54 admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. 55 there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap (使陷入) you in a more serious moral corner (道德困境).

At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.
In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.
Rip"s great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence (勤劳), for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody"s business but his own.
If left to himself, he would have whistled ( 吹口哨) life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness (懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house -- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.

For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream come true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “ against human rights and civilization”.
小题1:Those who take part in the reality TV shows are usually _____.
| A．common people | B．pop TV stars | C．attractive people | D．famous film stars |
| A．TV producers who make reality TV shows |
| B．TV actors who take part in reality TV shows. |
| C．TV viewers who telephone reality TV shows |
| D．TV companies which broadcast reality TV shows |
| A．everyone is happy about reality TV. |
| B．reality TV will do well in many countries. |
| C．all the people in Europe are in favor of reality TV |
| D．reality TV will not be broadcast in any countries. |
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the spring time she died.
News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.
