Maybe it was the strange__36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that__37  me so much.There was never total__38  ,but a streetlight or passing car lights__39  clothes hung over a chair take on the__40 of a wild animal.Out of the corner of my__41,I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no__42 .A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight.My__43 would run wild,and my heart would beat fast.I would__44 very still so that the“enemy”would not discover me.

解析

36.way的意思是“状况,情况”,后接定语从句things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night……,省略了in which或that。这个短语的意思是“在夜里,我熟悉的房间里的东西看上去和听起来的状况”。答案为A。
37.frightened的意思是“吓唬,使害怕”。本篇短文主要讲述了童年时所产生的恐惧感。这是一个强调句,对主语the strange way things looked and sounded in myfamiliar room at night进行强调。wounded的意思是“使受伤”;destroyed的意思是“毁坏”;surprised的意思是“使吃惊”。答案为D。
38.根据上文中的at night和下文中的a streetlight or passing car lights可以判断出房间里并不是一片漆黑。quietness的意思是“安静”;emptiness的意思是“空”;loneliness的意思是“寂寞”,均不合语意。答案为B。
39.根据这几个动词的用法可以确定答案:got ,forced和caused后接带to的不定式;made后接不带to的不定式。take on前面没有to,所以要选made作为答案。答案为C。 
40.shape“形状”。路灯和过路汽车照射进房间的光线使悬挂在椅子上的衣服呈现出野兽的形状。spirit的意思是“灵魂”;height的意思是“高度”;body的意思是“身体”。答案为D。 
41.由于恐惧,作者不敢正眼看房间里的东西,而是偷偷的从眼角看东西。由于平时考生遇到out of the corner of时,后面往往接street, room等表示位置的词,所以一些考生选了window或door,没有正确理解作者当时的心理状态。答案为A。
42.根据所提供的情境the curtains seem to move可以确定答案。作者看到当时房间里没有风(wind),而窗帘似乎在动,这更加剧了作者的恐惧感。breath, air或sound都不会引起窗帘来回的活动。答案为B。
43.所给的四个选项都是表示心理状态的词。belief的意思是“信念”;feeling的意思是“感情”;imagination的意思是“想象”;doubt的意思是“怀疑”。根据我们的经验,人们在看到使自己恐惧的东西时,会引起各种想象,浮想联翩。答案为C。 
44.根据作者在这段所讲述的故事里可以判断出,这是作者躺在床上看到的情景。lie very still的意思是“躺着一动不动”。lay是及物动词,后接宾语,意思是“放置”。答案为D。 
45.especially的意思是“特别地”,表示比较。与其他情况相比,在放学回家的路上更害怕迷路。答案为A。 
46.no problem的意思是“没问题”。由于上学时,公共汽车就在家门口,所以不会发生问题。答案为B。 
47.注意区别though与although的用法:though除了作连词引导让步状语从句外,还可以作副词,意思是“然而”。although只作连词,不作副词。yet含有“然而”的意思时,是并列连词,后接句子。still作副词的意思是“仍然”,不合语意。答案为A。
48.lined up的意思是“排成一行”。放学时,所有的汽车都沿街排成一行,使作者害怕坐错车。答案为C。 
49.作者在这段讲述的是自己害怕迷路,所以这里指的是害怕公共汽车把自己带到一个陌生的地方去。crowded的意思是“拥挤的”。答案为D。 
50.let后接副词短语作宾语补足语。在老师或家长带作者去公园或博物馆游玩或参观时,他不让老师或家长离开自己的视线。答案为B。 
51.介词of表示“其中的”。all后接定语从句I had……。答案为C。
52.(being)accepted by others在这句话的意思是“被别人领养”。在作者所有的恐惧里,使他最害怕的大概是失去爱或被别人领养。作者担心自己失去父母的爱,而被父母遗弃。A项protected“保护”;B项guided“引导”;C项believed“认为”均不合适。答案为D。
53.then的意思是“那时”,指自己的童年时。答案为A。
54.根据所提供的情境Being popular was so important to me then中的important可以确定答案。powerful的意思是“强有力的”。与受到别人的喜欢相比,失去父母的爱的恐惧更加强大。答案为B。
55.成长的其中一个过程是有能力认识和克服自己的恐惧。recognize的意思是“认识到”。只有认识到自己的恐惧,才能克服它们。realize的意思是“实现”。答案为C。

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?
