The other frogs kept telling them to stop. In the end one of the frogs  42 trying , fell down and died. 43 , the second frog kept jumping as hard as she could despite the  44   remarks. Finally, with one giant leap, she 45  it out of the pit!
    This amazing 46  was that the second frog was 47  and unable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they had been 48  her on the whole time they were yelling!
    The story above 49 us two lessons: Firstly ,there is 50  of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is 51  can lift them up and help them make it through the day. Secondly, a negative word to someone who is down can be  52  it takes to kill them. The power of words is great.

    试题分析：本文是一则寓言故事，讲述了两只同样掉到深坑里的青蛙截然不同的命运。一只青蛙听从其他青蛙的建议而放弃努力死于坑中，另一只青蛙却因耳聋听不到其他青蛙消极的言论而成功脱险。故事给我们的启示是：言语有决定人生死的力量，当我们身处困境时，不要受外界消极言论的影响。
    小题1:A 动词短语辨析。A 聚集，围拢；B 传播，四处走动；C 跳入；D 逃脱。从情理判断，如果一个人掉到坑里，其他人应该都围拢过来，所以A选项正确。句意：其他青蛙都围到坑边上。
    小题2:D形容词辨析。A 危险的； B 宽的；C 狭窄的，狭隘的；D 深的，深深的。下文讲青蛙要从坑里往外跳，所以其他青蛙应该是看坑的深浅，所以用deep修饰 the pit 。正确选项是D。
    小题3:D短语辨析。A 只要，和。。。一样长；B 和。。。一样好，除。。。外；C 一。。。就；D与。。。一样，简直是。从接下来的故事中其他青蛙劝这两只青蛙放弃跳出来的做法和他们的言辞可知坑应该很深，认为这两只青蛙跳不出来，所以掉坑里就和死了一样。故D选项正确。句意：当其他青蛙看到坑那么深的时候，他们告诉那两只青蛙他们简直就和死了一样，没希望逃出来了。
    小题4:C动词辨析。A 困惑；B容忍；C 忽视，不理睬；D 误解。在下文中The other frogs kept telling them to stop.别的青蛙让他们别白费劲了，可是这两只青蛙却仍然努力往外跳，由此判断这两只青蛙是没有理会他们的建议，所以C选项正确。这两只青蛙不理会他们说的话继续拼着全身力气往外跳。
    小题5:B动词辨析。A管理，设法做；B. 努力，尝试；C.同意；D.承诺。manage to do 强调成功做到了；而try to do 是努力去做，不一定成功。从语境判断此时青蛙是努力得往外跳，而不管成功与否。所以正确答案为B。
    小题6:D名词辨析。A. 精力，能源；B. 权力，力量；C. 武装力量，外界的力；D.力气。从常识可知从深坑里往外跳需要的是体力，力气，所以D选项正确。句意：他们拼着全身力气往外跳。
    小题7:B动词短语辨析。A.屈服，让步；B. 放弃；C. 用完，耗尽  D. 用完，耗尽。从上下文可知这两只青蛙使劲往外跳，可是听着别的青蛙的话，一只青蛙不再使劲了，所以应该是主动放弃了，故正确选项为B。
    小题8:B 副词辨析。A. 因此；B. 然而；C. 此外；D. 但是。从上下文可知第一只青蛙因为听到别的青蛙的话而放弃了，但是第二只青蛙因为耳聋却继续往坑外跳，所以此处是转折关系。B选项正确。
    小题9:C形容词辨析。A. 无辜的；B.积极活跃的；C. 消极的；D. 积极乐观的。从文中The other frogs kept telling them to stop.可知其他青蛙应该说的是消极的言语，所以C选项正确。
    小题10:A动词辨析。A. 制作，使得 B.转向；C.离开；D. 工作。文中是指这只青蛙成功跳出深坑， make it 为固定短语，意思是成功做成某事。所以A选项正确。
    小题11:D名词辨析。A理由，原因；B.结果；C.因素；D.事实。后面叙述的是第二只青蛙听不见别的青蛙的话而成功跳出深坑这件事，所以此处指的是这个让人惊讶的事实。故D选项正确。
    小题12:A形容词辨析。A. 聋的；B. 聪明的；C. 残疾的；D. 有信心的。从and unable to hear what the others had been saying可判断这只青蛙是耳聋的，所以正确选项为A。
    小题13:D动词辨析。A. 强迫；B. 保持，保存；C. 安慰；D. 欢呼，喝彩。从上下文可判断这只耳聋的青蛙一直是以为别的青蛙在为他们加油鼓劲，所以才成功跳了出来。cheer sb on 为某人加油，以喝彩声鼓励，故D为正确选项。
    小题14:C动词辨析。A给予；B.告诉；C. 教；D. 显示，展示。从下文可判断得知此处是在讲故事给我们的启示，give sb a lesson 意思是“教授。。。课”；teach sb a lesson 意思是“给某人的教训”所以C选项正确。
    小题15:B名词辨析A. 功能；B. 能力，力量；C.用法；D. 技能。从下文叙述的内容以及提示句The power of words is great.可判断得知此处是指语言有着决定人生死的力量。所以B选项正确。
    小题16:A形容词辨析。A.情绪低落的；B.高兴的；激动的；C.可笑的；D.生气的。从故事内容可知青蛙是处于困境中所以情绪应该是消沉的，而且下文a negative word to someone who is down也提示给我们正确选项应该是A。
    小题17:C 连接词辨析。A. 哪个 B. 那个；C.什么；D. 谁。从句子结构判断此处是个表语从句，从句中缺少take的宾语，句型为it take sth to do 。that在表语从句中不做成分；who表示人；which强调要有选择范围，所以正确选项为C。
    小题18:D名词辨析。A. 方向，引导；B. 态度；C.面孔；D. 耳朵。从上下文可知，作者告诫我们：面对别人的批评和嘲笑，我们应该不加理睬，依然要保持乐观态度。turn a deaf ear to 意思是“对。。。充耳不闻”，所以D为正确选项。
    小题19:B名词辨析。A. 支持；B.智慧；明智；C. 决心；D.知识。从上文可知面对困境，我们要保持自己的乐观态度，不要受别人批评嘲笑的影响，所以需要智慧去引导我们，故正确答案是B。
    小题20:D动词辨析。A. 愚弄；B. 支持，支撑；   C.反对；       D. 引导。从上句we need …to guide us to the proper way判断此处应该是不要盲目地受世人观念的引导，所以D选项正确。

    An old man lived with his family. The family would eat together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon, dropping to the floor. When he grasped his glass of milk, it often spilled clumsily(笨拙地) at the tablecloth.
    With this happening almost every night, the son and daughter-in-law became annoyed with the mess.
    “We must do something about grandfather,” said the son.
    “I’ve had enough of his milk spilling, noisy eating and food on the floor,” the daughter-in-law agreed.
    So the couple set a small table at the corner.
    There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed their dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in wooden bowls. Sometimes when the family looked in grandfather’s direction, he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp warnings when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
    One evening, before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy replied, “Oh, I’m making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
    These words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears streamed down their cheeks. Though no words were spoken, both knew what must be done.
    小题1:Eating was difficult for the grandfather because ________.
    A．his son and daughter-in-law didn’t like him
    B．there wasn’t enough food for him
    C．life was hard for the poor family
    D．he was old and weak
    小题2:The couple served the old man’s food in wooden bowls to ________.
    A．show how sick they felt of the old man
    B．make the old man’s food more enjoyable
    C．prevent the old man from breaking more dishes
    D．encourage their son to make more wooden bowls
    小题3:What would the end of the story be like?
    A．The couple gave their son a good beating.
    B．No more milk was spilled by the old man.
    C．The old man had every meal with the family.
    D．The whole family started to use wooden bowls.

    Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather   36   test. I didn’t know how   37  I had done but I knew there were things on   38   that I didn’t know.
    I remember   39  waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales   40  my paper on my desk, I was    41   . There in big   42   numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I   43   my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44    that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45  the class. “The grades were not very good;    46  of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
    A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47  . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s   48   changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49   what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother    50   answered.
    For years, I thought that was a harsh (严厉的) judgment. My mother was always that   51   . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and    52     I did it excellently.
    We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53   the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy（人生态度）has    54   me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55   and there are very few people on it.

    “All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters. 
    “That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”
    Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.
    “If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷扬机), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said.
    小题1:Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.
    A．panicked but optimisticB．nervous and hopeless
    C．upset and regretfulD．frightened but calm
    小题2:Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?
    A．SandwichesB．Running water
    C．ChocolatesD．Staying up in a tree
    小题3:What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?
    a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.
    b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.
    c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.
    d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.
    e. Gaddy found himself in a crocodile-infested area.

    The young engineer sat down on a rock and rested his head in his hands. He would never get home; it was   36  . For weeks he had been   37 in the Northwest Canadian forest. Now there was a terrible   38  behind his eyes, and   39  of all, he had gone blind.
    Suddenly a man  40 out of the woods, an Indian who had been hunting in the area. Seeing the engineer's  41  , he caught a fish in a nearby   42  and fed the sick man the  43  of the fish and some flesh from its head.  44  within a few hours the engineer's pain was   45  . A day later he could  46 again, and the next day he had  47 recovered.
    When he returned home, the engineer told the  48  to Dr Price.   49  years later did it become a(n)   50  fact that this was just an everyday lifeguard doing its work. For what the engineer did, by eating fish eyes, was to   51  vitamin (维生素).
    Vitamin A's biggest job is to keep the eyes   52 . Without Vitamin A, people and animals get night blindness and other eye problems. Without Vitamin A, people can even be totally blind. Vitamin A helps to keep the skin in good   53 . A also helps  54 bones and teeth and has something to do with proper   55  of blood cells.

    “I don’t think I can do this any more.” “Yes, you can. You only have five more radiation treatments to go. ” I held my wife Becky close.
    Ever since the breast cancer diagnosis (诊断), she had tried hard to be strong for the kids and for me.   When her diagnosis came, my first thought was there was no way I could lose my wife. The doctors assured us the cancer was discovered early so we were feeling positive.
    Becky had received an operation and was recovering from it. After six weeks of radiation therapy(治疗), she was facing her final five treatments. She was weak and tired, in low spirits. Seeing her suffering, I felt so helpless and powerless.
    As soon as I was outside, long-held frustration and anger erupted in me like a volcano. I took a hammer and suddenly was swinging as hard as I could, beating heavily on the front porch(门廊). While doing so, I imagined I was beating my wife’s cancer. With all my strength, I destroyed the porch.
    During the treatment, my wife had been very brave. She said she had it easy, but I don’t think it was easy for her.
    Seeing the porch gone, Becky shook her head at the window. I came into the room, not knowing how she would react to what I had done.
    “Becky, are you mad at me?” She looked at me in surprise. “For what?” I pointed at the gate. “For tearing down the porch.” She laughed. “Look how sunny this room is now. I love that it’s bright in here.”
    “You comforted me in my darker hour, Vince. You’ve found a way to deal with your own frustration. By destroying the porch, you let the sunshine in.”
    As I looked around the brightened room, I realized the light that filled the space was the light of hope that shone so bright after the darkness. We never did re-build the porch.
    小题1:When the diagnosis came out, _______.
    A．the author had little hope that his wife would survive
    B．the author was determined to save his wife’s life

    As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
    My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
    I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人员）. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.
    After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
    Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experience．Flying on Lufthansa，however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

    B．Both their going and return were by air.
    C．They traveled in spring that year.

    “Now,” Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old!
