19.When early colonial settlers went to America,they took many forms of dance to  their new home.Square dancing,one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing,developed from several different Old World group dances,mainly English country dances,and the French quadrille(四对方舞).
In the American version of square dancing,four couples form a square and dance to music.An American addition to square dancing is the caller.What do you think a caller does?
The callers---someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music---was a completely American invention.At first dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance,but eventually the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (提示) so that dancers didn't have to remember so many steps.The caller didn't just call out"do-se-do your partner"; a good caller also came up with colorful sayings or witty lines that he said in between the cues such as"Don't be shy and don't be afraid.Swing on the corner in a waltz promenade (步伐)."A caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines.
Although popular for years,square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s,when Henry Ford helped revive(复苏)interest in it.Ford,the automobile manufacturer,used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts,where he enjoyed the dance programme run by a man named Benjamin Lovett.Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances,but Lovett said he couldn't because he had a contract with the inn.Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett's contract.He took Lovett back to Detroit,where together they established a programme for teaching squares and rounds.Square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country.
25.What is the best title for the passage?B
A.The Different Steps of Square Dancing
B.The Origin and Development of Square Dancing
C.Who Was the Inventor of Square Dancing?
D.Why Did Square Dancing Go Out of Style?
26.What does the underlined part"their new home"refer to?D
A.The United Kingdom.
B.France.
C.Africa.
D.America.
27.Why did the caller call out the steps for the dancers?D
A.Because the dance was invented by the caller.
B.Because the dancers didn't know the names of the steps.
C.Because the steps were very particular.
D.Because it was hard for the dancers to remember all the steps.
28.What can we learn about Henry Ford in the last paragraph?C
A.He was the man who made the first car.
B.He was very fond of dancing.
C.He helped make square dancing popular again.
D.He taught people how to dance.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了美国广场舞的发展和起源.

解答 25.B.推理判断题.根据第一段Square dancing,one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing,developed from several different Old World group dances,mainly English country dances,and the French quadrille可知这篇文章最好的题目是美国广场舞的发展和起源;故选B.
26.D.词义猜测题.根据第一段When early colonial settlers went to America,they took many forms of dance to  their new home可知当早期的殖民者来到美国,他们带来了多种形式的舞蹈到他们的新家;意为美国;故选D.
27.D.细节理解题.根据第三段but eventually the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (提示) so that dancers didn't have to remember so many steps.The caller didn't just call out"do-se-do your partner可知打电话的人会喊舞者的脚步因为舞蹈演员很难记住所有的步骤;故选D.
28.C.细节理解题.根据第四段Although popular for years,square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s,when Henry Ford helped revive(复苏)interest in it可知Henry Ford帮助广场舞再次流行起来;故选C.

14.I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed.It was time.The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights.I'd procrastinated long enough.
I got up,went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room.I prepared the boxes,and carefully placed the decorations of the tree in their protective packaging,pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite."Hey,little Santa!"I held the Santa from my childhood."Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years."He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories."Until next year,my dear friend."
There was collection of handmade ones.My children made in their first years of school,more than twenty years ago.Made by tiny hands,they are far from perfect in design,but every year they go on my memory tree-memories of young giggles on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work."Look what we made,Daddy!""Oh!It is beautiful.Let's find a special spot on the tree for it."Every year since,they are displayed.
A few hours after I started,the filled boxes were back in the garage.The room was vacuumed and I sat staring at a barren corner.The room seemed so empty.It took me two days of work to assemble and decorate my tree,but only a few hours to take it apart.
My tree is a good marriage or a great friendship.Like the tree,they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories,but can be torn down quickly.All it takes is an unkind word or a thoughtless act,and what once stood proudly in the glow of love comes falling down.
Every,year I have to put my tree away,but not my marriage or friendships.I take great care of those.They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live.I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year.I can do the same with the loves in my life every day.When I held the Santa,a flood of   wonderful memories returned.The same happens when I hold my wife or see the smile of a friend across the room.
Take great care of your friendships and your marriage.Once they come down,they aren't as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree,if at all.Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.
51.The underlined word"procrastinated"(in Para 1.) meansB.
A.prepared            
B.delayed
C.arranged

A.Casual             
B.Uncaring
C.Content             
D.Unwilling
53.The author expresses his opinion about marriage and friendship byB.
A.quoting words from other people
B.comparing them to the Christmas tree
C.describing the Christmas tree and its decorations

9.
A.I learned that a poorly worded apology can result in lasting anger.
B.Righting a wrong can be especially challenging when it involves family members,who may be inclined to cite histo ry as an excuse for hurtful behavior.
C.I suggest apologizing for your own part in the incident,however small it may be.
D.I recently discovered that a sincere apology can be a powerful medicine with surprising value for the giver as well as he recipient.
E.The best apologies are short and don't include explanations that can undo them
F.And even when an apology is offered with the best of intentions,it can be seriously undermined by the way in which it is worded
Most people say"I'm sorry"many times a day fora host of trivial affronts-accidentallybumping into someone or failing to hold open a door.These apologies are easy and usually readily accepted,often with a response like,"No problem."However,when"I'm sorry"are the words needed to right truly hurtful words,acts or inaction,they can be the hardest ones to say. (67)F.
(68)D.After learning that a neighbor who had assaulted me verbally was angry about an oversight I was not aware I had committed,I wrote a letter in the hope of ending the hostility.Without offering any excuses,I apologized for my overnight in etiquette and respect.I said I was not asking for or expecting forgiveness.Then I delivered the letter with a jar of my homemade jam.Expecting nothing in return,I was greatly relieved when my doorbell rang and the neighbor thanked me warmly for what I had said and done.
According to psychologist Harriet Lerner,apologies followed by rationalizations are"never satisfying"and can even be harmful.When"but"is tagged onto an apology,it's an excuse that counters the sincerity of the original message. (69)E,"she wrote in her new book Why Won't You Apologize?
Nor should a request for forgiveness be part of an apology.The offended party may accept a sincere apology but still be unready to forgive the mistake.Forgiveness,should it come,may depend on a demonstration going forward that offense will not be repeated.
(70)B.History can be used as an explanation,not an excuse.It should involve a conversation that allows the hurt party to express anger and pain if an apology,however sincere,is to heal a broken connection,"Lerner said.
"I'm sorry"are the two most healing words in the English language.Knowing how to say"I'm sorry"is an ability to take a clear look at how our behavior affects others and to assume responsibility for acting at another person's expense.
