解析
小题1:D主要测试连词。所给选项的意思如下：what about =" how" about“、、、怎么样？”；how come“怎么回事、怎么搞的”；what if “如果、、、该怎么样？”。再根据行文可知以下句子：All day Andrew felt nervous． 36 Mr．Larchmont refused to 37 his request?的译文：一整天Andrew都感觉到紧张。如果（what if）Mr．Larchmont拒绝同意（grant）他的要求该咋办？
小题1:A主要测试动词。四个选项的意思分别如下：同意、承认；承认、接纳；提交、服从；保证、确保。再结合上面第36题的解释可以选出最佳答案：grant。
小题1:C主要测试动词。文章开头已经点出：Andrew 去“上班”。所以句子：Andrew had 38 so hard in the last 18 months．译文如下：过去的18个月，Andrew工作（work）如此努力。
小题1:B主要测试副词。四个选项的意思分别如下：最后；当然、一定；成功地；高效地。参考上面第38题的解析，句子：39 , he deserved a wage increase．的译文如下：当然，他的工作应该增长。
小题1:B主要测试介词短语。此处的译文：走进Larchmont办公室的意念让Andrew双腿发软（at the knees）。
小题1:D主要测试名词。四个选项的意思分别如下：思想；武力、势力、暴力；力气、力量；勇气。具体语境中句子：Late in the afternoon he finally gathered the 41 to approach his superior的译文如下：下午晚些时候，他终于鼓足勇气（courage）去找上司。
小题1:C主要测试名词。四个选项的意思分别如下：震惊、惊恐；乐趣、享受；欣喜、愉快、高兴、乐事；惊异、惊愕。此处应该指：令Andrew高兴（delight）而且惊讶的是一贯节省的Harvey Larchmont同意给Andrew涨工资（raise）。
小题1:D主要测试动词。参考上面第42题的解释及所给四个选项的意思：赞扬、称赞；奖品、奖学金；报答、奖赏；加薪、提高，可知选择：raise最佳。
小题1:A主要测试动词。根据行文可知：Andrew得以加薪后非常高兴，到家后，惊讶的发现（to find）餐桌上放着精美的瓷器，点着蜡烛。妻子，Tina已经准备了丰盛的饭菜，包括（including）他最喜欢的菜。
小题1:C主要测试介词。参考上面第44 题的解析可以选出最佳答案：including。
小题1:C主要测试动词。根据行文可知句子：Immediately he 46 someone from the office had tipped her off!译文如下：Andrew马上想到（figured）办公室有人告诉妻子了。再结合四个选项的意思：理解；认出、识别出；想到、料想；预测，可知最佳选择：figure。
小题1:B主要测试名词。四个选项的意思分别如下：信、字母；便条；信封；邮件。根据具体的行文可知句子：Andrew发现盘子旁边有一精美的便条（note）。结合实际，这是妻子，Tina放的为了提醒丈夫，Andrew，故此选择：note最佳。
小题1:C主要测试名词。根据行文可知：上面已经结束老板给Andrew加薪了，所以做妻子的要祝贺（congratulations）。因此，留个便条，内容如下：祝贺你，亲爱的！我知道你加薪了！我准备了美味的饭菜来证明我多么地爱你。我为你去的成就而自豪（proud）。
小题1:D主要测试形容词。结合四个选项的意思：凉爽的、冷静的；值得赞扬的、可敬的；快乐的、兴高采烈的；自豪的、得意的，另外再结合上面第48提的解释可以看出最佳答案：proud。其实此处：be proud of sb 是“以、、、自豪”之意。
小题1:B主要测试短语动词。首先，选项：D结构不正确，应该为：remind sb of 、、、，所以可以排除；其余三个选项的意思分别如下：拜访、号召；仔细考虑；反应、回馈。另外，此处意思：Andrew看着便条，停顿下来仔细考虑（reflect on）妻子，Tina怎么这么敏感，富有爱心。
小题1:D主要测试连词。此处句子译文如下：吃晚饭后，Andrew走向厨房的路上，就在这时Andrew看到又一张卡片从妻子兜里掉出来。Andrew捡起。上面写着：“没有加薪不要伤心！你确实应该加薪的！我准备了这顿饭来证明：即使（even though）你没有加薪，我也是多么爱你。此处，when意思“就在那 / 这时突然、、、”。例如：the children were swimming in the river when it began to rain。孩子们正在河里游泳，就在这时，天突然下起了雨。
小题1:B 主要测试连词。参考上面第51题的解析，再结合所给选项的意思可以选出最佳答案。
小题1:A主要测试动词短语。四个选项的意思分别如下：涌出、涌现；溢出（通常指液体流出）；冲出、突然出现；流下来（像小溪一样，比较细长等）。再参考下文的陈述，尤其是最后一段的意思（可以参考第55题的解释），我们可知：Andrew被妻子Tina的做法感动了，所以Andrew眼中突然涌出（well up）眼泪。
小题1:C主要测试形容词。此处主要考查：be conditional on / upon sth “以、、、为条件”例如：The sale of the painting was conditional on the expert’s agreement that it was an original Rembrandt. 这幅画的出售须要有专家认可它确是伦勃朗的原作才行。文章中句子： Tina’s support for him was not 54 upon his success at work的译文如下：妻子，Tina对Andrew的支持不是以Andrew工作的成功为条件的。
小题1:D主要测试介词。四个选项的意思分别如下：尽管；没有；两者之一、也、而且；不管、不顾。根据行文此处译文如下：当我们知道不管（regardless of）成功或失败都有人爱我们的时候，我们差不多可以接受任何挫折或拒绝。

举一反三
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯响) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
小题1:The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
| A．show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s |
| B．provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories |
| C．show Yoshiko’s young life was difficult and frightening |

| C．Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years. |
| D．Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for material. |
Speed dating
It’s exactly what the name implies. Complete with a timer, a whistle and 50 willing singles, speed dating is not the traditional dinner and a movie type of first date. Singles pay US $35 for three minutes with more than two dozen future dates. They ask questions and try to get to know each other. At the sound of a whistle, they do the same thing all over again―25 times in all.
Lock and key party
Women are given a lock and men are given a key, upon arriving at the party. Each key and lock has several matches. One can hunt for his/her later-to-be sweetheart in various groups, and try out the key or lock. Each time a lock and key match the pair are entered into a ballot (票数） for top prizes!
Dinner in the dark
Waiters wearing night vision glasses guide the guests through the pitch-black dining room. They are seated at the table and familiarized with the wine glass and plate. Food is handled with the fingers. People will not see the food they are eating or the guests at their table until the dessert course. At that moment, dining partners will appear.
Message party
Have A Cocktail, Leave A Message! When you arrive, you get a tag with a number and a pad of post-it notes. If you see someone you like, write a message on the message board. But wait… You’ve got a message… Go and collect it! You can make new friends and win lots of gifts. The more messages you leave on the bulletin board, the more chances you have of winning prizes.

| A．1. | B．2. | C．3. | D．4. |
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (贫穷). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (强调) international poverty and debt.

The first MP4 player was born years ago. Soon many music fans were wondering how fantastic it is! If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!
Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.
What is MP4?
It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.
With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.
Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programs—TV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?
小题1: It is suggested here that you should ______ before buying an MP4 player.
| A．first be a music fan | B．have a knowledge of MP4 |
| C．get familiar with MP3 | D．buy a CD-like disc |
| A．much bigger than | B．just as advanced as |
| C．not so particular as | D．more functional than |
Ａ．Storing digital audio and video streams.
Ｂ．Recording some movies in cinema.
Ｃ．Playing TV shows, games and movies.
Ｄ．Transferring particular music from a DVD.
小题4:From the last sentence, it’s clear that the writer tries to tell us it is ______.
| A．reasonable to buy other digital products |
| B．impossible to buy something else |
| C．a very wise choice to buy an MP4 |
| D．an exciting experience to buy an MP3 |

All areas of the world face a nurses shortage. But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006.
The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio(比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain.
Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(O.E.C.D) in Paris. He says the nurses shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is concern in most O.E.C.D.countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is more worrying is that their concern is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses.
Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the U.S., for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O.C.E.D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O.E.C.D. countries were mainly exporting their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses.
小题1:What will be the main causes of the global nurses shortage in the next 10 years?
a. The demand for nurses will decrease.
b. Many nurses will be too old to work.
c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses.
d. Nurses are often looked down upon.
e. Aging populations will increase rapidly
| A．a and b | B．b and c | C．b and e | D．c and d |
| A．strengthen | B．neglect | C．reduce | D．cause |
| A．refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nurses |
| B．have at least one nurse out of 100 people |
| C．don’t like to train nurses of their own countries |
| D．have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations |
| A．Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries. |
| B．The different attitudes towards nursing in different countries. |
| C．Nurses shortage will result in serious consequences. |
| D．The health care industry needs more nurses. |
