14.It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son,Billy,walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,toward the house.
Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour:walking very carefully to the woods,then running back to the house.Finally,my curiosity got the best of me.I quietly walked out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(洒出) the water he held in them.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I looked at him secretly,I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him.But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away.And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion,lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more.I looked up at the sky.It was as if God,Himself,was crying with pride.

25.Why did the author follow her son?C
A.Because there might be danger.
B.Because her son was doing a good deed.
C.Because she was curious.
D.Because she intended to help.

A.Rain was in great need.
B.Billy carried water with his small hands.
C.Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.
D.There were few trees in the woods.
27.Which is the correct order of the development of the story?A

A.Importance of water      B.The water of life
C.How to save animals      D.Animals in danger.

分析 本文叙述了由于一个多月没有下雨了,眼看就要颗粒无收,这时作者看见自己的儿子多次想森林跑去很好奇,于是有一次就悄悄地跟去,发现儿子小心翼翼地端着水在拯救快要渴死的小鹿,作者想到自己就快没有水喝了,儿子却在给动物喝水,很是感动,这时也可能感动了老天,天开始下雨,他们高兴极了.

解答 25.C.细节理解题.根据第二段This activity went on for over an hour:walking very carefully to the woods,then running back to the house,可知是孩子小心翼翼地去往森林又回家的行为持续了一个小时,让我很好奇,故选C.26.D.细节理解题.A选项在第一段We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying,一个月没下雨,弄作为都要干死了,可知急需下雨,A正确,B选项由第四段He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(洒出) the water he held in them,可知他小心地用手捧着水,B正确;C选项在第二段This activity went on for over an hour:walking very carefully to the woods,then running back to the house,可知是孩子小心翼翼地去往森林又回家,C正确,D选项未提及,故选D.
27.A.细节理解题.根据二、三段段意可知,作者看见自己的儿子多次想森林跑去很好奇,于是就悄悄地跟去,发现儿子小心翼翼地端着水走向几只大鹿,然后在拯救快要渴死的小鹿,作者想到自己就快没有水喝了,儿子却在给动物喝水,很是感动,这时,天开始下雨,故正确的顺序是53214,故选A.
28.B.标题归纳题.根据整篇短文都在围着水来讲,水拯救了小鹿,也拯救了大家,是生命之水,故选B.

点评 一般来说,标题归纳的格式是:以话题为中心,将控制性概念的词按一定的语法浓缩为概括主题句句意或中心思想的词组.做此类题时,要避免如下三种错误:一是概括不够.多表现为部分替代整体.二是过度概括.多表现为人为扩大范围.三是以事实、细节替代抽象的大意.

4.For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict(边境冲突) between neighboring countries,the parent-teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents'point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents'complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article,I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly appear between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen's hair,the cleanliness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency(趋势) to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn't matter what the topic is-politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume(假设) that they know more than the other,they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
25.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?B
A.Both can continue for generations.
B.Bot h are about where to draw the line.
C.Neither has any clear winner.
D.Neither can be put to an end.
26.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A
A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C.The teens scold their parents for misleading them.
D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
27.Parents and teens want to be right because they want toC.
A.give orders to the other                   
B.know more than the other 
C.gain respect from the other                
D.get the other to behave properly
28.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?C
A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B.Examples of the parent-teen war.
C.Solutions to the parent-teen problems.
D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.

9.Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position.The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of enines hurts your(41)A; your words are lost in the howling wind.

This woman was (45)D.

The trend continued.Customers arrived annoyed only to leave(56)B and pleased.Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,(57)A others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed,then ten,then twenty   No one refused to pay.Customers stood at my window(58)B a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger.Cars drove off,honking (鸣笛) and (59)B their thanks.

6.Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information,especially numbers,percentages,and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret.That can be more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs like any other text.
  Most graphs have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction paragraph,a title,a legend or key,and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data from (for example,a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005).Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend,also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Many graphs,including bar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
  A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1,we see that the x-axis shows grades students earned,and the y-axis shows how many   students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students   earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the   vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can   get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1)
Line Graphs
  A line graph looks similar to a bar graph,but instead of bars,it plots points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graph---two labeled axes---and can be read the same way.To read a line graph,it's important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration  (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days.The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers.Thus we can see that,on the first day,the pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled down,as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick,visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
  A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into sections,and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent,so each piece is a fraction of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one month's expenses(See Graph 3).
Food 25    Movies12   Clothing 36Savings20   Books $7                                            
45.When used in a graph,a legend isA.
A.a guide to the symbols and colors   
B.an introduction paragraph
C.the main idea                    
D.the data
46.What is the total number of students who earned a C or better?D
A.4.
B.6.
C.10.
D.20.
47.The bird covered the longest distance onC.
A.Day 1.
