    16．B。外面下雨了，人们都在躲雨，等候雨停。下文母亲的话“We’ll wait until...”也给出了提示。从后半句看，一些人耐心，一些人有些恼怒，所以不能说大家都在抱怨。
    17．C。别的人恼怒，当然因为大自然的突然降雨打乱了他们正常的工作生活节奏。
    18．D。雨水冲刷走了世界上的尘土和脏物。
    19．A。catch me相当于catch my attention，“引起了我的注意力”，因为此前我正沉醉于雨水带来的感受中。并没有让我恼怒，也谈不上给我留下了很深的印象。
    20．A。slow down指雨下得缓和一点，不能说stop a bit，停止不存在程度上的一点。
    21．B。此句话和前面说的话一样，所以是重复了一遍。
    22．A。小孩子想让母亲一起在雨中走，而母亲又没有答应，所以孩子要拉着母亲的手往外走。
    23．C。从女儿的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母亲是问小孩自己是什么时候说那话的。
    24．C。如果上帝能让小孩的父亲度过这一难关，则能让他们度过任何“难关”。
    25．B。still一动不动；silent沉默，不出声。对于小孩的这一天真美好的愿望，大家显然都事先没有想到，所以都在沉默，并静观下面事情的发展。
    26．A。what引导宾语从句，what在句中充当say的宾语，母亲在考虑要和女儿怎么说。
    27．B。母亲知道，孩子说出的话，在一些人看来肯定会是有点傻的，因为上帝是不存在的，这种愿望只是一种幻想。dishonest不诚实的，欺骗的。孩子的说法是一种美好愿望，当然算不上是欺骗。
    28．A。母亲不愿破坏孩子的童真，所以表示赞同“你是对的”，是肯定孩子的话就是自己讲过的话，而不是说孩子聪明。
    29．A。run off跑开。此处强调off，故把这个词提前。
    30．D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling，laughing可以看出母女的行为已引起了人们的关注，他们都在看着母女俩在雨中跑。
    31．A。从定语从句可知，母女的行为也感染了其他的人，又有几个人也加入她们的行列，在雨中奔跑。follow跟着。
    32．B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。这几个人一边跑一边又叫又笑，很兴奋。
    33．C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父亲得癌症了，所以说境况可以带走人们的健康。
    34．B。从下文“… make memories every day!”可知，自己创造的美好记忆是不会被带走的。
    35．B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住机会做某事，为固定搭配。该句的意思是“抓住创造美好记忆的机会。

    Twelve years age I flew from my home in Minnesota to spend Father’s Day with my father in California. This wasn’t a typical Father’s Day visit, but to say goodbye to my father as his cancer rapidly advanced. We hadn’t had much of a relationship up to that day and never did much talking. He wasn’t verbal (善用言词辞的) or demonstrative (易流露感情的) nor was I. I knew he loved me simply because fathers love their children. He never told me he loved me and I never told him. That’s the way we did things in our house.
    My father told me a bit about his career growth from a poor boy to a very successful businessman. He had got a lot through his hard work. He had reasons to be proud of what he had done and I had the benefit of his success. “Maybe I didn’t do things right. I never really knew you or your brothers. I did what I thought was right.” This visit didn’t change our ways. We shook hands and said goodbye as I left. Our relationship ended as we lived it.
    As a father for more than 14 years I look back and understand why I am staying at home full-time with my children. I tell my children I love them every day, I hug them and I talk with them and let them know how important they are to me. However, as much as we would like to believe that we are all ideal fathers but we are not. We all made mistakes and hopefully we learned from them, just as I learned from my father.

    Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
    Parapsychologists（灵学家）say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理学家）at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments.
    In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
    For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were started at than if they had just guessed.
    Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
    68. The purpose of the two experiments is to        .
    A. explain when people can have a sixth sense
    B. show how people act while being watched in the lab
    C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
    D. prove why humans have a sixth sense
    69. In the first experiment, the subjects       .
    A. were not told that they would be stared at
    B. lost their sense when they were stared at
    C. were not sure when they would be stared at
    D. were uncomfortable when they were stared at
    70. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means      .
    A. value  B. result  C. performance      D. connection
    71. What can be learned from the passage?
    A. People are born with a sixth sense.
    B. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
    C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
    D. People have a sixth sense in public places.

    “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声)．It was just standing there, with father standing on one side , and I on the other side．
    We were both in great anger” Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
    The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling．I wandered aimlessly．
    A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree．
    But now．．．I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
    I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on．
    I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
    In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can’t stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: “I can’t throw you away, let alone these old papers ?”
    All the lights were off except father’s．
    Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
    The light was still on．“Am I wrong?” I whispered ,maybe．．．With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love—it second to none．
    小题1:Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage．
    a．I opened the door and entered the house．
    b．Sadly I ran out into the street．
    c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit．
    d．I thought of my father’s kindness towards me．
    e．I walked about in the street without any aim．
    A．b,e,d,c,aB．b,e,c,d,aC．b,e,a,c,dD．b,e,c,a,d
    小题2:What made the writer think of his childhood ?
    A．The sight of the street lights．
    B．The sight of the empty street．
    C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms．
    D．The sight of light in his own house．
    小题3:Why do you think the father often shouts at his son ?
    A．perhaps the father is getting older and older．
    B．perhaps the son has already grown up．
    C．perhaps they never agree with each other．
    D．perhaps the father has got used to doing that．
    小题4:What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage ?
    A．The father treats his son in an unfair way．
    B．The father is actually kind to his son．
    C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son．

    　　Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique（古董）shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't oven look at my chair.
    　　The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
    　　I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”
    　　Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean？You’ve just sold it to me,”he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me　I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused（感到有趣）by the whole thing.

    Dear Flowermouse,?
    Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.?
    Your letter asks specially about Chinese-American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world's problems.
    You ask how Chinese and American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
    　　I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other.?
    So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have in differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.?
    小题1:From the passage we can know that Flowermouse_______.?
    A．loves Americans
    B．has read about the writer's articles?
    C．is an American
    D．knows little about Americans?
    小题2:It is likely that the writer_______.?
    A．disagrees with Flowermouse?
    B．thinks it possible for nations to be destroyed due to modern technology?
    C．thinks American government share the same opinions with its people?
    D．believes the weapons of great destruction are never used?
    小题3:The letter that Flowermouse wrote to the writer, maybe have referred to .?
    A．American culture
    B．American society?
    C．Chinese-American relationships
    D．Chinese society?
    小题4:The writer's purpose to write the passage is to_______.?
    A．introduce Americans to us
    B．make friends with Flowermouse?
    C．speak for the government of America
    D．call on nations to understand each other??

    When I was a stay-at-home mom, there were times I wished I could buy some beautiful flowers, but the money that they would cost was needed in the home. When I walked into town with the family, my youngest daughter, Lily, would always carry a flower stem(花梗). That’s how she got the nickname “Stick Girl”.
    One day when we passed the flower lady with Lily, the flower lady smiled at her and said, “Come here. I have something for you.” She handed her a beautiful flower. Lily dropped the stem and held on to that flower until we came back home. We placed it in water and enjoyed the beauty of that flower along with the feelings of warmth and kindness from the flower lady.
    My neighbors would run to her to get a bouquet of flowers whenever they wanted to, and I used to give directions(为人指路) using the flower lady. I would say, “Walk for three blocks. You’ll see the flower lady. Turn right at that street.”
    My mom visits me each year. On her first summer visit this year, she looked at me and asked, “Where’s the flower lady?”
    I had no idea. The flower lady had been an icon(偶像) for me for 16 years, but now she wasn’t there any more.
    I went on a search and soon found her in another spot, at the Harbor Loop. I was glad to see her and I had to tell her that she was missed!
    I have a garden which I admire very much now. Every time I see those bright colors when I come home after a day of work, I remember the generosity of a dear old lady whom I only know as the flower lady.
