解析
1．D 由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知：没有我，其它的动物就会死亡。
2．A 由下文的“天空和海洋”相对比，结合上文所谈及的“草、树、叶”可知，此处指“陆地”。
3．C 此处是强调句型，只能用it is。
4．B 此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用，意为：没有我的润滑，你们全都没有（即：死亡）。
5．A 此处所填单词，应与前面的laughter, fun是同类型的词，表示积极向上的词，而sadness，depression，anxiety则表示“消极”之意。
6．D 桔黄色在平时不多见，结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现，因此用scarce表示“稀少，不常见”。
7．C 由常识可知，只有在太阳升起或落下时出现桔黄色。
8．C 此上文“我的美丽如此迷人”推断下文“当我出现时，没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to想起，注意。
9．D 由下文shouted out可知，红色再也忍不住了，no longer表示“不再”。
10．B 由上文bravery可知，此处意义为：我愿意为真理而斗争。fight for“为……而战”。
11．A 由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting（夸耀）可知，它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势（superiority）。
12．C 由谓语动词“倾盆而下（pour down）”可知，副词用violently，来表示“猛烈、激烈”。
13．B 由谓语“蜷缩（crouched down）”及下文“互相缩成一团”可知：它们处于“恐惧之中”。
14．A amongst常用于书面语中，其意义等于among。
15．D 句中的动词dominate是“优于，超出”，根据上文的内容，他们极力说自己的优点，想超出对方，因此用the rest，来表示除自己之处的所有的其它颜色。
16．D 由for a special purpose可知，各种颜色都有自己的特殊的用途，它们所具有的特点都是其它颜色没有的，因此用unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。
17．C 此处表示三者以上的“互相”，用one another。意为：大家手拉手。
18．C 由下文joined hands可知，它们“团结一心”。
19．B 此处是拟人说法，wash有“冲洗”之意。意为：一场大雨之后。
20．A 它们互相合作，形成了美丽的彩虹，如果没有大家的配合，是不可能形成彩虹的。因此这种美丽是大家协作的结晶，所以它们都“感激，感谢”对方的参与。

举一反三
Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽略), means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians(喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance(忍受力) than people in any other forum.
小题1:Why was Sam late for his job?
| A．Because he was ill. |
| B．Because he got up late. |
| C．Because he was caught in a traffic jam. |
| D．He was busy applying for a new job. |
| A．Sam Maynard saved his job with humor |
| B．humor is important in our lives |
| C．early bird gets the worm |
| D．humor can solve racial discriminations |
| A．tried to hold back | B．tried to set | C．charged | D．gave out |
| A．Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor. |
| B．It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work. |
| C．Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30. |
| D．Humor is the most effective way of solving problems. |

A
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”

| A．show she was familiar with the city | B．see some places for the last time |
| C．let the driver earn more money | D．reach the destination on time |
| A．wanted to do her a favor | B．shut off the meter by mistake |
| C．had received her payment in advance | D．was in a hurry to take other passengers |
| A．Giving is always a pleasure. | B．People should respect each other. |
| C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy. | |

There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia. Only one other major nation in modern history has tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote. This was the Weiman Republic of Germany, which modeled its unitary vote for national leaders on the American practice. Out of its experiment with the system it got Hitler. Americans have had Lincoln, Wilson and two Roosevelts. Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in; the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning. But for these hours history stops.

| C．the election campaign |
| D．the strike of the government employees |
| A．lead to a civil war | B．result in a general strike |
| C．cause violence and blood | D．be defended by all Americans |
| A．there would be a civil war | B．there would be a general strike |
