这是一篇幽默诙谐的小故事。小老鼠Zigfried住在一座空荡荡的农舍，没吃没喝。圣诞节快到了，这座房子搬来了新主人，Zigfried过上了富足的生活。可惜好景不长，圣诞节这家的孩子就会有一只猫陪伴他们了。那么，Zigfried这个圣诞节会过得怎么样呢？
小题1:解析：选C。从语境的叙述看，这只小老鼠在窗户上哈气，然后把窗户擦亮，它满怀希望地想，或许今天会有人来。这里用hopefully指它的一种心情。其中关键词maybe(或许，有可能)说明对奇迹是否在今天出现不能十分肯定，只是“有希望”。B项excitedly(激动地，兴奋地)在这里描述小老鼠的心情是不合适的。
小题2:解析：选D。下文说“这座农舍需要有一家人住下”，由此可知这里表示这座农舍空荡荡的，没有人住，因此选D项。
小题3:解析：选C。下文说它意识到自己从昨天起就没有吃东西了，根据常识可知，饿的时候是“肚子”叫，而不是“嘴巴”“鼻子”或者“喉咙”，因此选C项。
小题4:解析：选A。下文第三段第38空所在句说它把口袋装满了小麦，这是很重要的提示，因此选A，它从自己的窝里拿起一个袋子就跑到隔壁的农民迈克家去了。
小题5:解析：选B。从语境的连贯性判断选B，用until表示“直到”：迈克家一直是这只小老鼠的天堂，直到迈克娶了妻子，而他的妻子带来了一只猫。猫是老鼠的天敌，猫来了对老鼠来说并不是一件好事，也就是说老鼠的好日子到头了。
小题6:解析：选C。leap“跳跃”；sniff“闻，嗅”；tremble“颤抖，发抖”；withdraw“撤退”。老鼠害怕猫是常识。句意：一想到他家的那只猫，Zigfried就(害怕得)浑身发抖。
小题7:解析：选D。这里用steal(into)描述小老鼠小心翼翼的神态和动作：它一边谨慎地向四周看，一边蹑手蹑脚地溜进存放谷物的房间。其中cautiously(小心翼翼地)是解题的关键点。
小题8:解析：选B。前面提到，因为害怕那只猫，它很小心，因此在往袋子里装粮食的时候“很紧张”。nervous形象地描述了老鼠当时害怕的心理。
小题9:解析：选C。就在老鼠转身准备离开的时候，它感觉到耳旁有呼出的热气。这里用feel表示“感觉”到外来的呼吸。
小题10:解析：选D。老鼠知道形势不妙，猫来了，就在它旁边，面对危机，老鼠的心怦怦乱跳，因此选D。one’s heart beat wildly“心怦怦乱跳”。
小题11:解析：选A。老鼠赶紧逃窜，幸运地躲过了那只猫的抓捕。其中，luckily是解题的提示。
小题12:解析：选C。上文提到，这座农舍很长时间空荡荡的，没有人居住，既然是要搬来人家，那么应该选C表示“新来的”，而不是“密切的”“快乐的”“年轻的”。
小题13:解析：选A。文章提到圣诞节，那么应该是celebrate“庆祝”，因此选A项。语境表示奶奶要来跟它一起庆祝这个圣诞节。
小题14:解析：选D。这里用介词up描述动作由远及近的方向，come up the road沿着这条路驶来。句意：不久，一辆汽车沿着通向这座房子的路驶来，载着黄油三明治、奶酪和巧克力。
小题15:解析：选A。这座农舍因为有人的搬入，有了人气，开始充满活力，因此选A，表示“有生气，有活力”。其他各项不符合语境。
小题16:解析：选B。句中的them指前面提到的days，有人搬进来了，接下来的几天里，房子里面又开始活跃起来了，Zigfried尽情享受着每时每刻。用enjoy表示“喜欢，享受”。
小题17:解析：选A。从下文“What？A cat？”可知，孩子们是讨论圣诞节用猫做礼物的信息，老鼠的好日子到头了，故用转折副词however，表示“可是，然而”。
小题18:解析：选D。这家原先没人居住，老鼠总是挨饿，而现在，它在自家门口喝着热巧克力，当然是觉得很满足了。a satisfied smile“满足的笑容”，因此选D。
小题19:解析：选B。这里用discussion指这些孩子七嘴八舌地在讨论他们圣诞节会得到什么礼物。其他各项不符合语境。
小题20:解析：选B。听说这家的孩子圣诞节就会有只猫了，老鼠Zigfried脸上原本满意的笑容一下子僵住了，这里用smile与第48空的smile呼应。

Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place.Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people.Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs.These jobs didn’t pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn’t want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.
In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning.This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters.After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes.Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.
小题1:The origin of the tango is associated with________.

A．belly dancers

B．American soldiers

C．a Spanish city

D．the capital of Argentina

小题2:Which of the following is true about the tango?

A．It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.

C．It was often danced by two males in the beginning.

D．A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.

小题3:Before World War I，the tango spread to________.

A．America	B．Japan
C．France	D．South Korea

小题4:What can be the best title for the text?

(2013·高考山东卷，D)Sparrow is a fastfood chain with 200 restaurants.Some years ago，the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company.Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining，the chain was generally in an unhealthy state.With more and more fastfood concepts reaching the market，the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention.And to make matters worse，its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years，until a new CEO，Carl Pearson，decided to build up its market share.He did a survey，which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain，while customers of other fastfood chains were unwilling to turn away from them.Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand.The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants.Pearson resisted，arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success，rather than customers’ spending power.Finally，the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fastfood industry.The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars.Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product，the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example，he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额)．
These efforts paid off，and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fastfood chains in the regions where it operated.
小题1:Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?

A．The number of its customers was declining.

B．Its customers found the food unhealthy.

C．It was in need of financial support.

D．Most of its restaurants were closed.

小题2:What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants.

B．Sparrow restaurants.

C．Customers of other fastfood chains.

D．Other fastfood chains.

小题3:For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?

A．To build a good relationship with the public.

B．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.

C．To learn about customers’spending power.

D．To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.

小题4:The TV ads of Sparrow ________.

A．changed people’s views on pop stars

B．amused the public with original songs

C．focused on the superiority of its products

D．influenced the eating habits of the audience

小题5:What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?

A．He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.

B．He made Sparrow much more competitive.

C．He helped Sparrow take over a company.

D．He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.

Artie Shaw was born in New York City in 1910. His name was Arthur Arshawsky. His parents were poor immigrants who had come to the United States from Eastern Europe. His family later moved to New Haven, Connecticut.
At the age of fourteen, he began to play the saxophone and then the clarinet. From a very young age, Artie Shaw wanted to play his clarinet better than anyone. He wanted his sound and music to be perfect. He worked at this task much of his life.
He began working as a professional musician when he was fifteen. He left home and began playing in bands across the United States.
In 1928, young Artie Shaw traveled to Chicago, Illinois to hear the great trumpet player, Louis Armstrong. He immediately understood that Armstrong's great jazz sound was the beginning of something new and exciting. Artie left Chicago with a growing interest in jazz music. Soon after, he moved to New York City.

His group was not the top band in the show. But the crowd loved his music. This proved to be a major step in his career.
Artie Shaw was always trying something new, something different. He heard a young black woman sing and hired her for his band. This was the first time that a black woman sang with white musicians. Racial separation was the rule in many states. Artie Shaw did not care.
