答案
解析
37. 根据上文,“我”没有了家,并负了大笔的债可推测出A项stopped正确。而且,下文也有提示。
38.根据上文,既没有了家,又负了债,这样的生活是凄苦的。故 A选项bitter最合适。其他三选项与此时“我”的心情不相符。
39.从下文的提示again可推知,“我”又一次有了家,故生活发生了改变(change)。
40.从上文可知,“我”原来负债,现在还清了。只有pull最合适。
41.从下文的“Will work for food.”可知,那人手里拿着的是一个招牌,故选C项sign。
42. 从下文“我”说的话可知,“我”不想帮助那些无家可归的人,认为他们不过是买酒喝,因此“我”没就没有停车,而是passed by。
43.从第一段可知,“我”过去常常帮助那些无家可归的人,故选D项used,构成词组used to,过去常常。
44.in need指需要帮助的人,与上文homeless people对应,故选D项。
45.从上文的alcohol可知,“我”认为他们会用给的钱买酒喝,这些是bad things,故选B项baD.
46.从下文from school 可知是到学校接女儿。Pick up用车接……;look up在……查找;ring up给……打电话;beat up痛打……。
47.从上文I said that, it didn’t feel right和something deep可知,作者心地善良,上次没有帮助那些需要帮助的人,感到愧疚,所以这次一看到这些无家可归的人,内心深处在呼喊,一定要帮助他们。所以B项正确。
48. 从上下文可知,“我”按照自己的想法拉下窗子,和上文是顺接关系,故选A项so。
49.从上文可知,作者是伸出手拿钱,只有reach符合此意。
50.从上下文,此人只想要77cents,却意外的得到three quarters and two pennies,所以高兴和感激地泪都出来了。Turn around转身;break down(身体)垮下来、(机器等)出毛病;burst out突然……;speak up大声点说。只有burst out符合文意。
51.由前文tears一词可知为eyes。
52. 由上下文可推测,这些钱使他回家看望母亲、过圣诞成为可能。故选B项possible。
53.前文提到他要回家,四个选项中只有leaving和bus搭配能表达此意,注意take和drive的主语是人,bus只能作其宾语。
54. 由上文和下文的got the best可知,作者认为自己的善举对于二人对很难忘,而对自己尤其如此。两句之间是转折关系,选A项but符合文意。
55. 由上文可知,作者自己给了别人帮助,自己也收到了最好的馈赠(gift)。其它三选项均不符合文意。

举一反三
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not 36__ with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath 37 me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted(倾斜的) down, 38 with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a 39 sight, with its petals(花瓣) all worn-not enough rain, or too little light. 40 him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I 41 a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of 42 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with 43 , “It sure smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I 44 it; here, it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I 45 take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and 46 , “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he 47 it mid-air without reason. It was then that I 48 for the very first time the boy was 49 .
I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun 50 I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play, 51 of the effect he’d had on my day.
I sat there and 52 how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放纵的) 53 ? Perhaps from his heart, he"d been blessed with true 54 .
55 the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that"s mine.

As a teenager, 11 , I had more fun guessing that it might be a 12 who had noticed me 13 I didn’t know him.

A letter to Edward, a columnist(报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr Expert:
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine — so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes — it makes the place feel comfortable and warm— but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?
Joan
Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan:
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with— or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
63. We can learn from the first letter that Joan Edward .
A. lives away from her parents
B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr Expert quite well
D. hates her parents very much
64. We can infer from the first letter that .
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
65. According to Mr Expert, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
66. The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means .
A. dependent life B. fierce fight C. bad manners D. painful feeling
67. The second letter suggests that Mr Expert .
A. is worried about Joan’s problem B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C. advises Joan on how to refuse people D. encourages Joan to be brave enough
responsibility are some elements of a true friendship.True friendships are hard to achieve.
And what’s more,life is short.So treasure these friends if you already have them.If you don’t,
continue to search,because once you have them,life will become so much easier to live,no matter what happens.I have been through very difficult times and I dare say,without my friends,
I would not have made it.
Friendships need lots of energy and patience to maintain them.Not to mention time.When your friend needs you,and when things are not going too well on your side,it is often so easy to turn a deaf ear to their requests.It is especially during these times that you must find the strength to help your friend.
And it is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger.
And you must always be happy for their successes,even when things are not going too well for you.It might be hard to do this,but it is something that you need to learn.Think about all the sacrifices your friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles.Think aboutall the happy times you enjoyed and the sad,difficult times you went through together.That should give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend.Remember,true friends are the next best thing to family.They will always be your supporters.小题1: What is the best title for this passage?
