题型:不详难度:来源:

Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn"t have done or something you didn"t do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have.There"s no __51in getting depressed about it now—it"s no __52 crying overspilt(溢出的)milk.However,there may be some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why __53  we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.
One thing we all do now and again is to lose our __54 with a friend or close relative.The odd thing is that we more often display great __55 towards someone we are fond of than towards __56 .The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to __57 a bit of steam in a safe environment,while the consequences (后果)of __58   a stranger could be far more serious.
Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue (美德) and undoubtedly this is the __59  .On the other hand,we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone,telling them exactly what we feel,and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of __60 .Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?
51. A. reason        B. purpose      C. point          D. result 
52. A. use           B. help         C. value          D. benefit 
53. A. so            B. because      C. but            D. though

56. A. strangers     B. friends      C. relatives      D. colleagues

答案

51---60    CABDA   ADBBD  
解析

51.point的意思是“意义,目的,用途”。There"s no point in doing sth.的意思是“做某事毫无意义。”答案为C。
52.it"s no use crying over spilt milk是一个谚语,意思是“为溢出的牛奶而哭泣是没有用的。”it是形式主语,动名词短语是真正的主语。答案为A。 
53.由于空白紧接在why的后面,增加了试题的难度。why引导的是宾语从句,后面省略了it happened because引导的是原因状语从句。这句话的意思是“然而,在准确地考虑发生了什么和为什么发生这些事之后我们会有一些收获,因为,我们可以在将来引以为戒。”正确地分析句子的结构和意思可以帮助我们作出正确的选择。答案为B。
54.这是一个难度系数比较大的题目。上下文几乎没有提供任何线索,并且,是否作对这道题
目对下面几道题目的选择有直接的影响。lose和所给的名词搭配:lose one"s mind的意思
是“失去理智,疯了”;lose one"s temper的意思是“发脾气”;lose one"s memory的意思是“失去记忆”。根据它们含义的区别和下文的内容可以确定,选择temper比较合适。答案为D。 
55.如果正确地做出上一道题,做这道题就不困难了。display great anger是“大发雷霆”。答案为A。 
56.这段中的a stranger为作出正确选择提供了线索。另外,选项B(friends)、C(relatives)和D(colleagues)都是熟悉的人,与选项A(strangers)相对。奇怪的是,我们对自己喜爱的人大发雷霆的次数要比对陌生人大发雷霆的次数多。答案为A。 
57.let off a bit of steam是一种比喻,意思是“发泄”。答案为D。
58.insulting的意思是“侮辱,对……无礼”。对别人大发雷霆是对别人的一种无礼行为。这句话的意思是“可以这样解释,我们把朋友和亲戚当作我们的一种安全网,为我们提供了一种在安全的环境中发泄自己感情的机会,而对陌生人无礼的结果要严重多了。”A.inviting“邀请”;C.speaking to“对……说”;D.believing in“信任”,均不正确。答案为B。 
59.case的意思是“事实”。诚实一般被认为是一种美德,这是不容置疑的事实。A.issue“发行”;C.event“重大事件”;D.factor“要素”,均不符合题意。答案为B。 
60.所提供的情境Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?表明,选择excitement(激动)、happiness(幸福)和pride(骄傲)不会产生这样的疑问。换句话说,我们偶然有这样的经历,当我们向别人说出了我们的思想,倾吐了我们的感情,然后,我们内心充满了犯罪感。答案为D。

In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For then hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time—two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.
49. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?
A. To pay for his schooling.
B. To save for his future.
C. To support his family
D. To gain some experience
50. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT ______.
A. loading boxes in the freezing cold                     B. having limited time for breaks
C. working and studying at the same time        D. getting no pay for lunch time
51. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The writer’s unhappy school life.               B. The writer’s eagerness to earn money.
C. The writer’s experience to earn money.      D. The writer’s hard work in an apple plant.
52. How is the text organized?
A. Topic—Argument—Explanation
B. Opinion—Discussion—Description
C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples
D. Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles(困扰) old Harold.
How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they"re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We"re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable."
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified(认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women"s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men"s relationships are marked by shared activities." For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled -a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior."
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman"s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn"t unusual to hear a man say he didn"t know his friend"s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
71. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ______.
A. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband    B. women have so much to share
C. women show little interest in ballgames       D. he finds his wife difficult to talk to
72. Rubin"s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ______.
A. a male friend     B. a female friendC. her parents        D. her husband
73. According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?
A. Ending his marriage without good reason.
B. Spending too much time with his friends.
C. Complaining about his marriage trouble.
D. Going out to ballgames too often.
74. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?
A. Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.
B. Women are more serious than men about marriage.
C. Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
D. Women depend on others in making decisions.
75. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around _____.
A. happy and successful marriages       B. friendships of men and women
C. emotional problems in marriage       D. interactions between men and women

A child"s birthday party doesn"t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
  "Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn"t have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Garlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
  Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created(制作)10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
  "Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10."Anaclerio said, "and they"re very interactive(互动)and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations."
  The standard $200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
72. The main purpose of writing this text is ____.
  A. to share information about party planning
  B. to introduce the joys of a birthday party
  C. to announce a business plan
  D. to sell a service
73. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that ____.
  A. it brings parents and children closer together
  B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
  C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
  D. it provides a subject of conversation
74. What does the underlined word "hassle"(Paragraph 1) probably mean?
  A. a party designed by specialists
  B. a plan requiring careful thought
  C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
  D. a demand made by guests
75. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner?
