As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are faced with difficult jobs of hiding presents from curious young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real    11 . On the Christmas Eve, young children find the excitement almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will bring them presents quickly and the wish to   12  up late so that they will not   13  the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie   14  for a long time, hoping to get a short look at Father Christmas.
Last Christmas, my wife and I   15  hid a few large presents in the storeroom. I   16  the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where that new bike had come from, but fortunately he did not see it.
On Christmas Eve,   17   took the children hours to go to sleep. It must have been nearly   18  when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began   19  stockings. Then I pushed in the   20  I bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We knew we would not get much sleep that night, for the children were   21  to get up early. At about five o’clock the next morning, we were   22  by loud sounds coming from the children’s room—they were shouting excitedly!   23   I had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came riding into the room on his new bike, and his sister, Mary, followed close behind pushing her new baby carriage.   24  the baby arrived. He moved on the hands and knees into the room dragging a large balloon. We were woken up   25  by them at this time.

解析
本文是记叙文。全文叙述了圣诞夜父母忙着给孩子准备礼物孩子们收到礼物时喜欢、雀跃的喜气景象。
小题1:C父母藏礼物不让孩子们发现是一个难题因此如果礼物很大父母能把它藏好确实是个麻烦事problem。
小题1:B “他们要在早去睡觉以便能尽快得到圣诞老人礼物及熬会儿夜以便不错过这个乐趣之间作出艰难选择。”torn between 意思是“在……中作出痛苦选择”。stay up late 意思是“熬夜”。
小题1:C A有较大干扰性。lose 意思是“丢失”而miss 意思是“错过”在这里作者是说“孩子们不想早睡以便不错过得到礼物的乐趣。”
小题1:A 从后文hoping to get a short 6 look at Father Christmas 我们得知孩子想亲眼看看圣诞老人是什么样子因此刚躺下时他们不想睡。
小题1: D 作者在前文讲到圣诞夜为孩子藏礼物是很难的事情从后文我们得知孩子们的礼物一直没有被他们事先发现因此说藏得很成功。
小题1:B “我”把新自行车藏在储藏室“我”真害怕他问“我”新自行车是从哪里来的。显然如果他这样问那就证明他已经发现了他的礼物。
小题1:D、it在这里作形式主语。
小题1:B 从下文We knew we would not get much sleep that night得此答案。
小题1:A 联系上下文我们可以得知妻子和“我”把礼物装进他们的stockings。
小题1:C A有较干扰性空前的pushed in 决定了A不正确从上文我们得知“我们”给Jimmy买的是一辆自行车。
小题1:B 为了及早看到自己得到的礼物孩子们是不会睡懒觉的因此“我们”确信孩子们会很早起床。
小题1: C第二天早五点钟“我们”就被孩子们的喊叫吵醒。其它答案均有一定干扰性。从前文我们得知孩子们在第二天早早晨醒来兴奋地大喊大叫是“我们”意料中的事因此其它答案不合题意。
小题1:A “我还没有来得及起床……”before 在这里是“没有来得及”的意思。
小题1:A 大孩子们都跑到了“我”的卧室“即便是婴儿也来了”。
小题1:D 孩子们的吵闹就让“我们”无法入睡气球的炸响让“我们”睡意全无。

Dear editor,
Under China’s current educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.
But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奋的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically.
Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.
When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.
“ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”
The moral of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (学术) grades.
Yours,
Zhang Zishu

In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Soviet old people aren’t alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilacbambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long too.
These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the fields beside their great- great- grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, “At what age does youth end?”, most of these old people has no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.” The very youngest estimate was age 60.
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remember his life experiences: the Grimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. Oh, he has slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet (1,660 to 4,000 meters) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollutionfree. This reduced-oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worried of industrial society.
Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived people had parents and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.
Finally, although these three groups don’t eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilacbambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are full of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.
It is clear that isolation from urban pressures and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.
小题1: What kinds of things contribute to the remarkable long life of these peoples?
A.Moderate dietsB.Clean mountain air.
C.Daily hard work.D.All the above factors(因素).
小题2: How do you think the author feels about these long-lived people?
A.He is impressed with themB.He doesn’t care.
C.He doesn’t like them.D.He admires them.
小题3:According to the passage, the phrase “the passage of time” means         .
A.have time to do what they wantB.being on time
C.time going byD.limited time
小题4:In the passage, why does the author describe Mr. Mamedov?
A.An example of a typical long life among these people.
B.An example of an unusual long life among these people.
C.An explanation of why he is still healthy.
D.An example of why his wife died early than him.
小题5:What is the main subject of this article?
A.Mr. Mamedov’s life.
B.A description of several societies where people live a long time.
C.Suggestions for how you can live long life.
D.People are healthy in mountainous regions.

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
   When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
   I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
   He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
小题1: Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?
A.He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B.He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C.He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D.He wants to use the words to test a person.
小题2:Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A.To see whether he was confident.
B.To see whether he was good at sports.
C.To see whether he was selfish or not.
D.To see whether he could get along with others.
小题3:During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A.played best all the timeB.was strong enough to play
C.was not confidentD.wanted to be the team leader
小题4: The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A.please (使满意)B.know aboutC.helpD.look for

Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of people in at least 100 countries. It’s one of the  26  sports in the world. It began in 1891.
Dr. James A. Naismith, the father of basketball, was a teacher of YMCA training school. It trained the people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were   27  about the low attendance during the   28  months. They   29  that people didn’t attend then   30  the school did not have a good sports program in winter. So they asked Dr. Naismith for   31 . He came up with a new indoor game.

But   33  the ball or hitting it would be too   34 for indoors. So he put two   35  up on the poles. The players had to try to   36  a ball into them. Naismith then made thirteen   37  for the game. Twelve of them are still in   38  today. Just seven   39  after the game began professional basketball teams were   40 . And that’s how basketball was born.
