    本文为记叙文。它讲述了一位和家人住在山上一所破旧、简陋房子里的小女孩因羡慕另一座山上看上去窗户金光闪闪的好房子而骑自行车来到那里，却发现所有的窗户非常朴素且十分脏，小女孩感到非常失望，当她离开时，却最终发现自己一直生活在充满关爱的房子里的故事。
    小题1:解析：选C。由空前的usually可知此处表示小女孩小时候经常的、习惯性的动作，故用would。句意为“她过去通常在小花园中玩耍”。
    小题2:解析：选B。由该空所在句后面的逗号及逗号后面的完整句子可知，该空处应引导一个状语从句。选项中but为并列连词，不能引导从句，故排除。unless意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句；since意为“既然；自从”，引导时间状语从句，但这两个词用在此处逻辑和语意均不合适，故排除。although意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，符合语境。句意为“虽然她爱自己的父母和家，但是她却渴望住在这样的一所房子里面……”。
    小题3:解析：选A。根据前面的desired可知答案。dream about意为“梦想”，与desire意思相当。worry about意为“担心”；ask about意为“询问；打听”；shout意为“喊叫”。
    小题4:解析：选C。分析句子结构可知此处需要用it作形式主语，不定式短语to live there为真正的主语。句意为“她整天都梦想着，住在那里是多么美妙和兴奋”。
    小题5:解析：选D。根据下文可知，她到了可以骑自行车走出花园的年龄，因而是具备了“基本的”技能和识别能力。A项意为“不同的”；B项意为“科学的”；C项意为“音乐的”；D项意为“基本的”。
    小题6:解析：选A。结合上下文知，她在骑自行车离开花园前要“请求”妈妈的同意，故beg(请求；乞求)符合语境。blame意为“责备”；invite意为“邀请”；pay意为“支付”。
    小题7:解析：选B。由文章一开始“她过去通常在小花园里玩”及下文可知，她应是骑自行车到花园“外面”。
    小题8:解析：选A。由空前的“她妈妈最终允许她去”可知，后面句意应为“但是坚持要求她要离家近一些，不要骑太远”。insist on意为“坚持”；rely on意为“依靠”；argue about意为“争论；争辩”；wonder about意为“对……好奇；想知道”。
    小题9:解析：选C。根据上文的a bike ride可知，她是要骑自行车出行，故此处填riding。
    小题10:解析：选C。madly意为“疯狂地”；rapidly意为“迅速地”；exactly意为“确切地；完全地”；possibly意为“可能地”。因为她早已经有了骑行的目标，因此她心里十分清楚自己要去哪里。C项符合语境。
    小题11:解析：选B。根据上文可知，她家住在山上，因此要到另一座山上要先下山再穿过山谷，结合后面的across the valley可得知答案。
    小题12:解析：选D。根据下段中的put it against the gate post可知，她要骑到那所金色房子的大门处。
    小题13:解析：选B。句意：当她从自行车上下来，把车子放在大门处时，她注意到了通向房子的小路，之后又注意到了这所房子。until意为“直到……”；as意为“当……时”，强调两个动作同时发生；while意为“当……时”，其后从句的谓语动词多为延续性动词；because意为“因为”。
    小题14:解析：选C。此处作后置定语修饰the path，lead to可表示“通向……”，符合语境。get to意为“到达”；introduce 意为“介绍；引进”；move to意为“移到……”。
    小题15:解析：选D。结合前文“她来到了房子处”及空后的all the windows和rather dirty可知，此处应表示“发现(found)所有的窗户非常脏时，她感到非常失望”。feel意为“感觉”；learn意为“学习；得知”；conclude意为“推断出”；find意为“发现”。D项符合语境。
    小题16:解析：选C。由前面的“失望”和后面的“窗户脏”可知，此处应选plain“简单的，朴素的”。transparent意为“透明的”，bright意为“明亮的”；wide意为“宽的”。
    小题17:解析：选D。小女孩本来认为这所房子很漂亮，骑车来到后却发现窗户非常脏，因此她感到“非常伤心和心碎”。sad“伤心的”，符合语境。anxious意为“焦虑的”；angry意为“生气的”；serious意为“严肃的”。
    小题18:解析：选A。根据上句中的she didn’t go any further以及下文提到她突然看到了自己的家，可以得知，她转过身来，准备回家。故A项正确。cheer up意为“高兴起来；振作起来”；settle down意为“定居”；drop in意为“拜访”。
    小题19:解析：选D。由空格后面一句的描述“山谷的另一面有一座小房子，它的窗户是金色的”可知，这是她转身后看到的“景色”。故选sight。
    小题20:解析：选C。此处表示：看到她的家，她才意识到自己一直都生活在一所金光闪闪且充满关爱的房子里面。imagine意为“想象”；decide意为“决定”；realize意为“意识到”；guess意为“猜测”。

    In my living room，there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to“Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy.I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s，when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville，Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program.Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who“bloomed”in her remote area.
    Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County，Kentucky，Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan，I followed a road winding around the mountain.In the eight­mile journey，I crossed the same railroad track five times，giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains，I found it depressing.The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
    From the moment of my arrival at the little school，all gloom (忧郁) disappeared.Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom.I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for“dinner”(lunch)．In case you don’t know，poke greens are a weed­type plant that grows wild，especially on poor ground.
    Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her enthusiasm never cooled down.When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification，Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.Afterward，she invited me to the one­and­only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory，as if she had received her Ph.D.degree.After the meal，she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝)，but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.
    小题1:“Early Childhood Development”in Paragraph 1 refers to________.
    A．a program directed by Dorothy
    B．a course given by the author
    C．an activity held by the students
    D．an organization sponsored by Union college
    小题2:In the journey，the author was most disappointed at seeing________.

    B．the poor houses
    C．the same train
    D．the winding road
    小题3:Upon arriving at the classroom，the author was cheered up by________.
    A．a warm welcome
    B．the sight of poke greens
    C．Dorothy’s latest projects
    D．a big dinner made for her
    小题4:What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?
    A．She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.
    B．She got a pen as a gift from the author.
    C．She passed the required assessment.
    D．She received her Ph.D.degree.
    小题5:What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
    A．Whatever you do，you must do it carefully.
    B．Whoever you are，you deserve equal treatment.
    C．However poor you are，you have the right to education.
    D．Wherever you are，you can accomplish your achievement.

    (2013·高考重庆卷，D)Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an S­shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
    “Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
    When the wind is from the west
    All the waves that cannot rest
    To the east must thunder on
    Where the bright tree of the sun
    Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.
    As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.
    It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath－perhaps not so noticeably out in mid­ocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences，too：unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of sub­ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
    小题1:Unlike real inland seas，the Atlantic Ocean is________.
    A．always energetic
    B．lacking in liveliness
    C．shaped like a square
    D．favored by ancient poets
    小题2:What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?
    A．To describe the movement of the waves.
    B．To show the strength of the storm.
    C．To represent the power of the ocean.
    D．To prove the vastness of the sea.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?
    A．Living together.
    B．Growing fast.
    C．Moving harmoniously.
    D．Breathing peacefully.
    小题4:In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to________.
    A．a beautiful and poetic place
    B．a flesh and blood person
    C．a wonderful world
    D．a lovely animal

    When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.
    Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.
    So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter. 
    As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions. 
    But still, no invitation came.
    They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.
    One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?”
    It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.
    小题1:Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invitation to the island?
    A．Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.
    B．They were too concerned with acquiring fame.
    C．The organization had already broken up.
    D．The island was not a real place.
    小题2:What did Luca learn at the end of the story?
    A．The island of inventions did not exist.
    B．He had wasted most of his life.
    C．He had unknowingly built his own dreamland.
    D．He finally would receive his invitation.
    小题3:Which of the following best describes Luca?
    A．Aggressive.B．Trusting. C．Creative.D．Easy-going.
