    It’s a sad and familiar sentence from a beggar that we often hear. Usually, when asked “Can you spare some   36  ?” I’ve been struck with a feeling of   37  if I passed by without giving a coin or two.
    My conscience was hurt again when I was making a   38  in Venice in 2006. I was sitting in a quiet café. Outside the café on the street was an old woman on her knees,    39 . Steady streams of   40  were walking past her. A young backpacker stood away from the crowd drinking something, but I noticed he was also    41   the woman.
    She knelt motionlessly, her head almost touching the ground, a worn blanket providing little    protection   42   the cold. The sight was especially   43  when compared with the signs of the   44  city around her.
    A tourist group hurried along the street,   45  at the woman and walked on. Another group of tourists arrived,   46  again, walked past her. The backpacker watched. Then, as I prepared to leave, I stopped at the sight of the backpacker   47  and placing some money in the woman’s cup. He did this rather   48 , just before the arrival of another tourist group. I watched   49  the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. With the young man   50  the way, other tourists followed.
    The young backpacker   51  this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer(同伴) pressure   52  on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work   53 , the young man walked over to the old beggar woman and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”
    I placed some money in the woman’s cup and  54  my tour, light-hearted after witnessing such a   55  act of caring.

    试题分析:文章大意：当我们听到乞丐在街上乞求的语言时是那么熟悉和难过。2006年作者在威尼斯旅游，正在一家咖啡屋里所见的一幕：有一位穿着衣衫褴褛的女在街上跪着行乞，来威尼斯旅游的路过的第一批人没有给予钱，一位背包旅游者，在旅游者路过时，在他们面前给那位乞丐钱，接着后面的旅游者见到这位背包旅行者给钱给那个乞丐后陆陆续续地给，他感动了作者，明白了这位背包者是这样帮助那位乞丐的。
    小题1:C 上下文串联。A 时间； B 努力；C零钱；D 奖赏；上文提到的是乞丐熟悉的语言，下文有提到乞丐，所以他们行乞主要是想得到money，所以与钱有关的单词就是change;故C正确。
    小题2:B 名词辨析。A 满意； B 罪过； C 生气；D 愉快；作者假设路过的话补给一两个硬币就会觉得有一种负罪感所困惑。故选B项。
    小题3:D 名词辨析。A演讲；B 报告；C 学习；D 旅游；根据常识：威尼斯是个著名的旅游城市，同时根据下文：A tourist group hurried along the street；Another group of tourists”中提到旅游者们，可以推断作者来这里也是旅游；故D正确。
    小题4:B 上下文串联。上文提到提到乞丐说行乞的话以及下文该妇女跪着行乞可知是正在行乞；故B正确。
    小题5:C 名词辨析。A 乘客；B 顾客； C 旅游者； D 外国人；根据下文第四段第一句“A tourist group hurried along the street,”“ Another group of tourists arrived,”及最后一句“other tourists followed.”可知讲的是旅游者们川流不息。故C正确。
    小题6:C 动词辨析。A 忽视； B 服务； C 观察； D 跟随；根据第四段第三句“The backpacker watched.”可知背包者观察者乞丐和旅行者们路过时而开始帮助哪位妇女乞丐。故选C正确。
    小题7:A 介词辨析。A 防备，抵御寒；B 为了； C 由于；D 在 里面；句意：乞丐她毫无表情头触地跪着，一破烂的毯子几乎无法抵御寒冷。前面又是protection，故选A正确。
    小题8:B 形容词辨析。A 令人惊讶的； B 感人的； C 迷惑的； D 令人有趣的；句意：当把这场景与乞丐周围城市的迹象比较时，这场景是特别的令人同情。故此空填“令人同情的；感人的”选B正确。
    小题9:C 上下文串联。 A 平静的 和平的；B 嘈杂的； C 富有的，D 原始的，落后的；根据上下文可知：女乞丐在吸引很多游客的威尼斯行乞，与城市富有的生活迹象形成鲜明对比。故C正确。
    小题10:A 动词辨析。A 一瞥；B 嘲笑； C 叫喊； D 盯着；句意：一群旅游者匆忙地沿着街道行走，一瞥那女乞丐，并继续行走。下一句有提到：另一群旅游者走过她旁边。可见路人只是看她一眼。故A 正确。
    小题11:C 连接词辨析。 A 除非 否则； B 因此； C 但是； D 或者；根据本段第一、二句“一群旅游者匆忙地沿着街道行走，一瞥那女乞丐，并继续行走。然而另一群旅游者走过她旁边。”，作者以为另一群旅游者会看，可是他们也继续行走。表示转折。故C 正确。
    小题12:B 动词短语辨析。A 向四周看； B 向前走； C 环绕； D 破门而入； 句意：那时，作者准备离开，就停下来看到背包者向前走去。下文又提到：背包者过去放钱进帽子去。可知选B正确。
    小题13:C 副词辨析。A秘密地； B 粗心地； C蓄意；有意地，D 渴望地；下文讲到：他是过去放钱到乞丐的帽子里，而且重复了几次，目的是做给路过的旅游者们给予乞丐帮助，所以是有意地，选C正确。
    小题14:D 连接词辨析。 A 自从。。。B 在   之前； C 在  之后； D 由于； 句意：因为另一群人的领导停下来放钱，紧跟的同一群人里就放钱，因此表示原因，故D正确。
    小题15:A 动词辨析。 A 带领； B 展示； C 指向； D 指；句意：背包者，即年轻人做着同样的方式，with+宾语+宾补，是背包者发出show的动作，故A正确。
    小题16:D 上下文串联。A 停止； B 有价值； C 制作； D 重复；根据上下文：背包者做了同一动作几次，所以D 正确。
    小题17:C 动词辨析。A 移动； B 答复； C 起作用； D 搬；句意：来自同伴的微妙的压力在游客们身上起作用了。从本句的后半部分“who all added coins to the cup.”看出:游客们受同伴的影响，也给那女钱。Work在这里是“起作用”的意思；故C 正确。
    小题18:A 动词时态辨析。语境：那背包者重复给钱的动作做完了之后，走到那女乞丐面前说道，“我希望那会帮助许多。”这里强调帮助的工作完了，用独立主格结构。故A正确。
    小题19:B 动词辨析。A 取笑； B 继续； C 开始； D 耽误；语境：看到刚才的一幕，我也给那女的一些钱，然后继续我的旅行，从后面“light-hearted after witnessing such a   55  act of caring.”看出作者做了好事感觉一身轻松。应该是继续旅行。
    小题20:B 形容词辨析。 A 有趣的； B 明智的； C 简单的； D 谦虚的；作者目睹了这样帮助人的行为而感到那是一种明智的关心行为，故B正确。

    Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
    　　With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
    　　As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.
    　　Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.
    　　Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
    　　We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
    　　Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
    　　She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.
    　　I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
    　　“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.”
    　　Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.
    小题1:For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.
    A．the salary it pays to its staff　B．the interest it pays to the bank
    C．the way in which it raises capital　D．the speed at which it spends money
    小题2:By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.
    A．the money borrowed from banks　B．the money spent to promote sales
    C．the money raised from close friendsD．the money needed to start a business
    小题3:To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.
    put up with unfair terms　        　B. change your business line
    C. enlarge your business scope     　　D. let them operate your business
    小题4:The author easily built a team for his company because__________.
    A．they were underpaid at their previous jobs
    B．they were turned down by other companies
    C．they were confident of the author and his business
    D．they were satisfied with the salaries in his company
    小题5: Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.
    A．she wanted to join his company
    B．she knew he would build a team
    C．she knew his plan would succeed
    D．she wanted to help promote his sales

    A few days ago we – that’s me and the husband – took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone). 
    There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20years after I had first rode a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights(like motortists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
    The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
    I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
    So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.
    小题1:When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?
    A．Not until she became a driver herself.
    B．Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.
    C．After she was shouted at by a motorist.
    D．After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.
    小题2:When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt_________.
    A．angryB．guiltyC．innocentD．proud
    小题3:Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?
    A．walkers B．passers-byC．cyclists D．motorists
    小题4:What can we learn about the writer?
    A．She often took a cab with her husband.
    B．She has been a motorist for over 20 years.
    C．She used to ride a bike without lights at night.
    D．She often biked the wrong way down a one way street.

    Once on a dark winter's day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night，an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.
    Sara Crewe leaned against her father，who held her in his arms，as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father，Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun，and then in the middle of the ocean，and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets.
    “Papa，” she said in a low，mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper.
    “What is it，darling?”Captain Crewe answered，holding her closer and looking down into her face．
    "Is this the place？＂Sara whispered.
    "Yes，little Sara，it is. We have reached it at last.”
    It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place”，as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born，so she had never known or missed her.Her young，handsome，rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world．
    During her short life only one thing had troubled her，and that thing was "the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children，and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.
    "Couldn't you go to that place with me，Papa？＂she had asked when she was five years old．
    "Couldn't you go to school，too？ I would help you with your lessons.”
    "But you will not have to stay for a very long time，little Sara，”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”
    She had liked to think of that．She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world，and if one must go away to "the place” in England to attain it，she must make up her mind to go．She liked books more than anything else，and was，in fact，always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.
    Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big，dull square in which stood the house which was their destination．
    小题1:The story happened_______．
    A．on a moonless night B．on a foggy day
    C．on a hot day D．on a starry night
    小题2:Sara Crewe came to England to_______
    A．visit her relatives B．see her mother's house
    C．receive education D．buy books for her father
    小题3:We can learn from the story that Sara Crewe was_______．
    A．scepticalB．curiousC．cheerfulD．imaginative

    He held the blazing(点燃) matches to a piece of wood. After a while, he became aware that he could smell his hands burning. Then he began to feel the pain. He opened his hands, and the blazing matches fell on to the snow. The flame went out in a puff of gray smoke.
    The man looked up. The dog was still watching him. The man got an idea. He would kill the dog and bury his hands inside its warm body. When the feeling came back to his fingers, he could build another fire. He called to the dog. The dog heard danger in the man's voice. It backed away.
    The man called again. This time the dog came closer. The man reached for his knife. But he had forgotten that he could not bend his fingers. He could not kill the dog, because he could not hold his knife.
    The fear of death came over the man. He jumped up and began to run. The running began to make him feel better. Maybe running would make his feet warm. If he ran far enough, he would reach his friends at Henderson Creek. They would take care of him.
    It felt strange to run and not feel his feet when they hit the ground. He fell several times. He decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed that he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. Yet, he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He realized he was going to die. Well, he decided, he might as well take it like a man. There were worse ways to die. The man closed his eyes and floated into the most comfortable sleep he had ever known.
    The dog sat facing him, waiting. Finally, the dog moved closer to the man and caught the smell of death. The animal threw back its head. It let out a long, soft cry to the cold stars in the black sky.

    Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true  36  still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the   37  that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.
    My daughter Stacy had ever had a   38  experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying   39  accompanied the disaster.

    My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.
    John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said.
    Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
    John and I both know we should never mistake a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 
    小题1:What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?
    A．The coat looked like a magical coat.
    B．They were good at shopping.
    C．The coat was a real bargain.
    D．They had the same taste in clothes.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
    A．A wide smile.B．A worried look.
    C．A jealous spirit.D．A joking tone.
    小题3:After John wore the new coat, the author found he _______.
    a. was happier and better-behaved
    b. received more praise from his teachers
    c. was willing to follow suggestions
    d. made rapid progress in study
    e. would say sweet words to please her
    A．a, b, cB．a, c, eC．b, d, eD．c, d, e
    小题4:What message does the author intend to deliver in the article?
    A．We should not judge people by their appearance.
    B．Life is full of possibilities when we are young.
    C．It’s beneficial to try different things in our lives.
    D．What we wear could help shape who we are inside.

    On the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
    When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else's in our class.
    What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn't wait to get the answer.
    Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
    Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
    We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat's), hadn't he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
    小题1:We failed in the test because we didn't ______.
    A．take notes while listening
    B．show interest in what Mr. Whiteson said
    C．listen to the teacher carefully
    D．think carefully
    小题2:We got angry because ______.
    A．Mr. Whiteson didn't tell us the truth about cattytiger
    B．we failed in the test
    C．we didn't know why he played the joke on us
    D．there was no cattytiger
    小题3:We didn't find out it was a lie for ______.
    A．we simply believed our teacher very much
    B．we took notes carelessly
    C．we hadn't watched the skull carefully enough
    D．Mr. Whiteson spoke too fast
    小题4:Mr. Whiteson meant that ______.
    A．teachers couldn't make any mistakes
    B．textbooks might be wrong sometimes
    C．we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong
    D．we shouldn't believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies
