试题分析:
本文是一篇记叙文。记述了父亲因为忙于挣钱而忽略了家人以致孩子们都忘记了父亲的存在。在得知女儿生病住院并不断念叨父亲之后,父亲决定重新找一份工作,以便更多地照顾家人。
小题1:文章最后一节作者丈夫提及:“I just wanted to make as much money as possible for you and our kids”. 可见,他拼命工作不是因为其“有趣(interesting)”,而是因为工作对于他家庭的“重要(important)”, 因此排除B项。A,D两项不合语境。possible, 可能的;relaxing 令人轻松的;故C项正确。
小题2:短语动词词义辨识。sit down 坐下;get up 起床; stand up 站起来; come up 走近前来。作者和孩子们还在熟睡时,丈夫已经“起床”。故答案为B.
小题3:下文提到,孩子们常问“父亲哪去了”,以致后来都“忘了还有父亲”。说明因为父亲上班早、下班迟,孩子们因为睡觉而见不着他。pets, parents, neighbors都没有在文章中提及,此处应该是作者和他们的“孩子”还在睡觉。故答案为A.
小题4:据下文,作者丈夫认为吃早饭是浪费时间。所以此处应该是“不吃早饭”就上班。leave without having breakfast, 不吃早饭就走。故答案为C.
小题5:作者认为吃早饭“浪费时间”应该指“在家”吃早饭。在“办公室”吃早饭不合适。即使可以,在办公室或其他什么地方吃早饭与在家也没什么两样,因为在哪吃早饭都需要专门的时间;“在路上”边走边吃可以节省时间。故答案为D.
小题6:文章第四段提到作者丈夫很忙,所以他不愿意浪费的当然是“时间”而不是money, energy或food. 故答案为B.
小题7:上文提到不吃早饭就上班,下文提到将工作带到家里来做,说明作者丈夫“很忙”。keep sb. busy, 使某人始终处于忙碌状态;“使某人劳累”表达为make sb. tired. (We cannot “keep” people tired.)。fast, excited都不合语境。故答案为B.
小题8:前文提到, He came back at ten at night. 十点钟到家已经很晚了,应该“一到家”就开始工作,故选择as soon as, A项正确。in the end, 最终;long before, 很久以前;long after, 很久以后。
小题9:据前文,He even couldn’t finish all his work in the office. 作者丈夫应该是将“工作”带到家里来完成,故选择work, C项正确。
小题10:父亲上班时孩子们还在睡觉,父亲下班时孩子们已经睡觉,所以他们应该是“从来没有”见到过父亲。故选择never, B项正确。
小题11:孩子们“问”为什么总也见不到父亲,母亲“回答”说他要工作、很忙,所以选择reply, C项正确。这里不存在“欺骗”行为。cheat, 欺骗。
小题12:据上文,As time went by,they didn’t ask where their dad was again. 孩子们或许已经“忘记”了还有父亲。ignore, 视而不见;mind,介意,在乎。答案为B.
小题13:下文I sent her to hospital.以及 …seriously ill提示本题选择ill. 故C项正确。
小题14:在医院告诉母亲孩子病情的当然是“医生”。boss, 老板、上司;officer, 军官、警官。故答案为D.
小题15:从下文母亲打电话给“父亲”告知情况可知,Jenny不断念叨的是dad. 故选择C项。
小题16:Jenny不断呼喊dad的情况是“听”医生说的,所以选择hear. notice, 注意到、看到;realize, 意识到、认识到;fell, 感觉到。故C项正确。
小题17:孩子病中思念父亲,作为母亲的作者决定给“丈夫”打电话。故答案为D.
小题18:为照顾家庭,父亲重新“找”了一份工作。找工作:find a job. 此处如果job前another一词改为his,可以选择change, change one’s job, 换工作;lose one’s job, 丢掉工作。答案为D.
小题19:此前,作者丈夫一心挣“钱”。make money, 挣钱。故答案为A.
小题20:作者丈夫决定今后与家人一起“度过”更多时间。spend time with sb. 陪伴某人。故答案为A.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always        you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only        friends leave footprints.
I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the        . I know she will always be my best friend. I could see the yellow leaves         in the cool wind. In such a        , I liked walking alone in the leaves,         to the sound of them. Autumn is a harvest season. However,         is uninteresting. The free days always get me      . But one day, the sound of a violin       into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. A young girl, standing in the wind, was        in playing her violin.  I had        seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been     _  there for so long but my existence(存在) did not seem to disturb(打扰)her.
Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building        I went downstairs to watch her performance. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became       . Though we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good       .
One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly       . To my surprise, the girl came over to me. “You must like violin,” she said. “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked. Suddenly, a        expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. “I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave, I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that       me,” she said. “In fact, it was your playing        gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. But I will always remember the fine figure(身影) of the girl. She is like a       -so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off much light that makes the autumn beautiful.

A famous Renoir had been stolen from a museum. Detective Earl Blackman was to work on the case.
Everyone was in the dark before an art professor came to point out the false picture. So the museum even didn’t know when the picture had been stolen. Thousands of people came to visit the museum every day. After long work, some art students were focused on.
The five students who had made copies of the Renoir during the last six months were asked to bring their copies to the museum. The fifth student said she had sold her copy, which was later proved to be the one in the museum. She, however, could only remember the buyer was a man with the little finger on his left hand missing.
Blackman went back and stayed in his office looking at all the pictures of known thieves. No success.
The next afternoon, at about closing time, Blackman went to the museum to ask if the cleaning men were in the museum after everyone else had left. The director told him they had no cleaning man but six cleaning women.
As the detective left the director’s office, he saw five cleaning women. He stopped one and asked about her work. Then came the sixth cleaning woman. She was dressed just like the other women except the gloves on her hands which made her different. Blackman watched her for some time. When she came near, Blackman caught her. The woman cried out in a man’s voice, “What was that?” Blackman was more sure.
小题1:Everything came to light ________________.
A.when an art student was asked
B.when the cleaning man came into the office
C.when Blackman looked at all the pictures
D.when the cleaning woman cried
小题2:Arrange the following sentences in the right order.

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The kindness of strangers.B.Valuable friendship .
C.Two special experiences .D.Helping others is worthwhile
小题2:Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?
A.Because she didn’t like the dishes.
B.Because she quarreled with her friend
C.Because her friend only talked about himself.
D.Because she was sad for her last relationship.
小题3:The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.
A.being hurt by the wallB.winning the game
C.taking a deep breathD.running out of energy

Lilian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age — 73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lilian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lilian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.
Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again. She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age is the sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as flexible(易适应的) as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting stiff(僵硬). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood and gave her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.
小题1:The difference between Lilian and her classmates is that         .
A.she works harder at her lessons
B.she is eager to graduate from college
C.she is much older
D.she is a country girl
小题2:Lilian wasn’t able to go to college after graduation from high school because ________.
A.she wanted to teach herselfB.she got married
C.she had to look after her childrenD.she hadn’t enough money
小题3:The writer wrote the passage in order to show us that ________.
A.a friend in need is a friend indeed
B.one is never too old to learn

One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter( 仲裁人). I read the examination problem:“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计).” The student had answered:“Take the barometer to the top of the building,attach a long rope to it,lower it to the street,and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building. ”
The student had really answered the question completely ,but the answer didn’t confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and clashed off one, which read:“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式)to calculate the height of the building. ”
At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn’t help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others and then added “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him,' Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.,”
Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did,but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
小题1:The student got a zero at the beginning because_______.
A.the teacher wasn’t satisfied with him.
B.his answer wasn’t complete or correct
C.his answer didn’t show his knowledge of physics
D.the teacher didn’t fully understand his answer
小题2:We know from the passage that______ .
A.the administrator told Bohr the height
B.the student knew the expected answer
C.the author preferred Bohr’s last answer
D.the teacher was a very stubborn person
小题3:We can learn from the passage that______.
A.instructors can teach students how to think
B.arbiters can help students to get high scores
C.teachers should make students use physical formulas
D.students should be given more freedom in thinking
小题4:What was Bohr’s attitude toward his schooling?
A.CriticalB.OptimisticC.ApprovingD.Ambiguous

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of      my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet     . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd      to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway      the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart      with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the      small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I     as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,      them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but     , at these prices, I don't know."
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every      you have together."
She smiled and I saw the feeling in her      as she placed the package in her basket and      away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then      the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the      smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and      welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses     , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my     . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost     . How did she know?
Suddenly the      seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't      me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.
