When I was a kid , my dad used to sing an old song , “ Pack up your Troubles,” while working in the morning .

For my friend , Vikki , though ,    40 to pack isn’t as important as whom to pack . She   41  her family and friends everywhere. Vikki took her mother skiing in Mammoth   42   she took my mother-in-law to Rome. Vikki    43   prayer cards of her loved ones and takes them with her wherever she goes. The    44   have the images of Jesus and pictures of a dead friend and “ in loving memory”.   45 , I’m not as sentimental(多愁善感的) about Vikki’s collection as she is , but on a trip two years ago , I    46  power of those prayer cards.
Larry and I were in Peru with Vikki and Bill . We had just finished    47  at a restaurant in Agua Calientes , when Vikki    48   a small card across the table to Larry and asked , “ Would you like to have your    49   with you tomorrow when you climb Machu Picchu ?” Larry was visibly   50   by the gesture and slipped the prayer card from his mother’s funeral into his shirt    51  . The next day , Larry had his mom with him indeed .
It was then I    52  the enormous happiness Vikki must feel   53   . With all the rules today about what    54  can’t bring on a flight , maybe we’d all be a little more   55  if we focused on the things we can bring and make sure they are what make us happy or at least smile , smile , smile .

试题分析:作者在旅行前打点行装时总是对于该带什么不该带什么而烦恼,而对于她的朋友Vikki来讲旅行时带上谁才是最重要的,哪怕是印有过世亲人朋友身影的祈祷卡。通过两年前的一次旅行,作者终于体会到了Vikki这样做所带来的快乐,对于旅行前所要带上的东西也有了新的认识。
小题1:A连词辨析。A当。。。时候;B直到;C 自从;D因为。根据语境判断当作者打点行装的时候脑子里回想起儿时父亲唱的这首歌。所以A选项正确。
小题2:C名词辨析。A衣服;B牙刷;C 麻烦事;D 行李。由上文歌曲的名字“ Pack up your Troubles,”可知歌词中应该是把烦恼装进旧包,然后展颜微笑。故C选项正确。
小题3:B动词辨析。A改革;B改变;C 制作;D保持。从文章叙述可知作者对于旅行前收拾行囊感到郁闷,不知道该带什么,不该带什么。这说明关于旅行时可携带物品的规定是一直在变的,故B选项正确。
小题4:D代词辨析。A很少;B更少;C很多;D更多。根据文章内容判断作者感觉现在打点行李时不再是乐趣,所以应该是烦恼比乐趣多,故D为正确选项。
小题5:A疑问词。A什么;B谁;C哪个;D无论什么。此处是疑问词+to do 结构,而且疑问词在逻辑上做pack的宾语,从上下文可知应该是代替物的词,而which的选用需要有范围限制, 故A选项正确。
小题6:B动词辨析。A持有,握着;B带上;C递送;D制作。从下文Vikki took her mother skiing in Mammoth。。。she took my mother-in-law句中的动词可知此处填take,故B为正确选项。
小题7:C连词辨析。A 但是;B 所以;C 并且;D否则。从语境判断前句Vikki took her mother skiing和后句she took my mother-in-law之间是并列关系,所以C选项正确。
小题8:D动词辨析。A制作;B 出售;C 聚集;D 收集。根据下文所叙述的内容以及Vikki’s collection可知Vikki喜欢收集祈祷卡。所以D选项正确。
小题9:A名词辨析。A卡片;B 图片;C 故事;D 书。从上文。。。prayer cards of her loved ones判断此处填A。这些祈祷卡上有耶稣和过世的亲朋好友的的照片。
小题10:B副词辨析。A不幸地;B 明显地;C 尤其;D最后,最终。从上下文可知作者旅行时不像Vikki一样带上这些卡,所以认为显然她自己不是像Vikki那么多愁善感的人。B选项正确。
小题11:C动词辨析。A创造;B听见,听说;C目睹,见证;D凝视,注视。从下文作者讲述的经历可知Larry因一张祈祷卡而感动,由此判断她是见到了祈祷卡的力量。
小题12:A名词辨析。A晚餐;B工作;C家庭作业;D家务活。从后面的at a restaurant 判断他们是刚刚吃完饭。所以A选项正确。
小题13:A动词辨析。A滑;B藏;C写;D制作。从空后面的across the table to Larry判断她是把卡片从桌子上推过去,所以选A。
小题14:D名词辨析。A兄弟;B姐妹;C父亲;D母亲。由下文Larry had his mom with him indeed .可知此处是指带上他的母亲,所以正确答案是D。
小题15:B形容词辨析。A惊讶的;B感动的;C远离的;D困惑的。从语境可知Vikki把Larry的母亲的照片给Larry,让他爬山时候带上他的母亲,由此判断Larry是受到了感动,所以B选项正确。
小题16:B名词辨析。A 衣领;B口袋;C 袋子;D衣袖。从情理推测Larry应该把母亲的照片放到自己的衬衣口袋里,所以B为正确选项。
小题17:A动词辨析。A 意识到,实现;B认出,承认;C恢复;D抵抗。最后一段是作者对于这件事的感悟,所以此处应该填realize,故A选项正确。
小题18:B短语辨析。A时而;B始终;C曾经,一度;D决不。从作者讲述Vikki总是在旅行时带上印有过世亲人朋友照片的祈祷卡可以推断她应该是一直感觉到如此做所带来的快乐,故B选项正确。
小题19:C名词辨析。A老师;B作家;C 游客;D士兵。根据上文的讲述可知作者一直在讲旅行时所要携带的东西,而且后面的on a flight也是提示,所以此处应该指游客,所以C选项正确。
小题20:D形容词。A难过的;B失望的;C沮丧的;D愉快的。从下文what make us happy or at least smile , smile , smile和整篇文章的内容可知作者通过自己的亲身经历意识到了如何才能让自己快乐,所以D为正确选项。

One day there came a    1   rain, and it wet their wings. They   2   home, but when they got there they found the doorand the key gone. So they had to stay outdoors in the    4  .
Soon they flew to the    5  and yellow tulip(郁金香), and said, “Friend Tulip, will you open your flower and let us     6  till the storm is over?” The tulip    7    , “The red and yellow butterflies may enter, because they are   8    me, but the white one may not come in.”    9   the red and yellow butterflies said, “If our white brother may not find shelter in your flower, we’ll stay  10     in the rain with him.”
It fained harder and harder, and the   11  little butterflies flew to the white lily and said, “Good Lily, will you   12  your bud(花蕾)a little so we may fly in out of the rain?” The lily answered, “The white butterfly may  13  , because he is like me , but the red and yellow ones must stay outside in the storm..” Then the little white butterfly said, “If you won’t   14  my red and yellow brothers, I’ll stay out in the rain with them. We would rather be   15  than be separated.”
So the three little butterflies flew away. But the  16  , who was behind a cloud,   17  it all, and he knew what good little  18  the butterflies were. So he pushed his face through the clouds, drove away the rain, and  19  brightly on the garden. He dried the   20   of the butterflies, and warmed their bodies. They danced among the flowers till evening. When they flew back home, they found the door wide open.

Embroidering(刺绣)
When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the    36    and ask what she was doing. She   3 me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the    38  of the little round hoop(铁环)that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked   39   from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and  40   say, "My son, you go about your    41   for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my    42   and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the    43   ones and why they seemed so jumbled(混乱的)from my   44  . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be  surprised and    45  to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not    4 it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would    47   to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a   4 plan on the top. It was a    49   . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side    50   you will see what I was doing."
Many    51    through the years, I have    52   up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He    53   , “ I am embroidering your    54  . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to    55   and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches ---but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table.
Gone to Michael’s Back tonight .Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way …

When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.
Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes    36   to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know    37 . Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know   38     you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when    39  with adults, and furthermore it also     40   handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was   41    the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差错) of my    42  . The lady I spoke to was not 43   and seemed annoyed.    44  , in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire  45  changed. She became far more helpful and   46  to deal with, and she   47  cutting my bill in half.
Some of my students in Harlem were to be   48  for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were   49  the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be   50  with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “  51  you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been   52  . When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main   53  he made over and over was how   54   my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets   55  .
