Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really __1__your feeling?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special 2 that I really wanted but you never gave it to me.”
The 3 was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I 4 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his 5 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 6 because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and 7 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 8 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 9 . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you 10 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t . I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt 11 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 12 me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question. Kevin’s answer was as immediate as his 13 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forgot about it.”
Though Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The 14 thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was I’d made a promise too 15 and didn’t keep it as their father.

小题1:A
解析
小题1:B根据文章第一句话中的“I sensed that something was wrong between Keith，one of my two sons，and me”可知，B项符合语境，即“我做了什么伤害你感情的事情了吗？”。第八段中的“I’d hurt his feelings，too”也是线索提示。
小题1:D根据第八段最后一句中的“you promised us a special toy”可知。
小题1:D fact表示“事实”，即“实际情况是，我完全忘记了这件事”。其他选项不合题意：challenge表示“挑战”；message表示“信息”；idea表示“想法”。
小题1:C根据上下文可知，我是继续问Keith，我还做错过什么事情。
小题1:B即对我上面问他的问题的回答，第八段中“Kevin answered as immediately as...”有提示。
小题1:A根据这句话最后的“because Kate，my little sister，was going to be born”可知，A项符合语境：Kate要出生了，当然应该是去医院。第五段中“you came back from the hospital”也有提示。
小题1:C set off意思是“出发，动身”，即动身去医院。其他几个词组不合语境。settle down意思是“安顿”；go on意思是“继续”；get up意思是“站起，起来”。
小题1:D他竟然记得(remembered)所有的细节。
小题1:A从下文可知，当“我”从医院回到家发现，箱子被打开了，里面的东西扔了一地，因此很生气(angry)。故A项符合语境。
小题1: B praise意思是“赞扬”；punish意思是“惩罚”；help意思是“帮助”；educate意思是“教育”。根据上文内容可知，只有B项符合语境。
小题1: A我感觉很难受。因此terrible符合语境。
小题1:D forgive表示“原谅，谅解”。即请孩子谅解我对他的伤害(对他的错误惩罚)。
小题1:B由文首的two sons可知应选B。Kevin的回答和他兄弟的回答一样快。
小题1:C重要的（important）不是玩具。
小题1:A lightly意思是“轻率地”。即“我以前很轻率地对孩子作出承诺，但却没有像他们的母亲那样信守诺言”。

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.
“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.
The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.
The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

For Carlos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
"We"ve been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we"re pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."
The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball"s location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.
FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year"s World Cup.
小题1: Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.
| A．football fans are angry with referees |
| B．their new product can satisfy football fans |
| C．their new product will have a good market |
| D．they can sell a lot of football in the future |
| A．Carlos Technologies can"t afford the high price for advertising their product |
| B．Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement |
| C．Carlos Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product |
| D．Referees" mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies" new product |
| A．information given back by a user | B．advice given by someone |
| C．supplying food to customers | D．food given back by consumers |
| A．famous people | B．referees | C．big companies | D．countries |
I love hotels. I love to enter a clean room, hang my clothes and gaze out the window, walk out in the morning and when I return, someone else will have made the bed. I like in-room dining and the way they greet you so professionally. "Nice to have you with us again, Mr. Goldsborough." Very cool.
The problem is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family, even though Linus and Camille, at ages 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the best night"s sleep at home.
I"m deeply troubled by the number of parents who wake up too late with the realization:
"My children grew up too fast. In the busy career and corporate rat race（剧烈竞争）, I missed their childhood.” What they fail to say but too often think causes me even more pain: "...and I barely even know them."
A hundred years from now, no one will remember the size of your bank account, the car you drove or the size of your house. The world might differ greatly however, based on your impact in the life of a small child. If you pay attention to your significant others, make the choice to put them first.
Think of one specific action that you can take, and take it. Then think of another one and take that, too. Challenge yourself to find new ways to express your appreciation and love on a daily basis. It will pay off ten-fold（十倍）at home.

Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (国际网球联会青少年赛).. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. While most who grow up in the U.S. are naturally accustomed to the American tradition of collegiate (大学的) sports, such a custom is not as familiar in a country like Poland. “There’s no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic (学术的) study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.
When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer (转学), Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in
Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”小题1:What does “two unsuccessful stops” (Par
agraph 1) refer to?| A．Poland and the U.S. |
| B．Baylor and Berkeley. |
| C．The community college and Baylor. |
| D．The ITF Junior division and the Berkeley tennis team. |
| A．Poland had no culture of sports. |
| B．Berkeley had always been her dream university. |
| C．She wanted to play tennis and have a good education. |
| D．She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking. |
| A．The level of tennis there was not high. |
| B．It was not suitable for international students. |
| C．She couldn’t get along with her friends there. |
| D．She was not satisfied with the education level there. |
| A．How Siwosz left Poland. |
| B．How Siwosz realized her dream. |
| C．How Siwosz became a top tennis player. |
| D．How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley. |
