I wonder whether Mike is getting annoyed with me. I had promised to help him    48   his maths in the library this afternoon.  49 just as I was about to start out, Uncle John,    50  had just come back from abroad, came to see me. John has always been a good friend as well    51 

a good uncle. He used to come to see me when I was young, but I had not seen him for ages.   52   had a good chat and had a very nice time together. I tried to call Mike and tell him about the delay, but wasn’t able 53 reach him since his mobile phone was powered off. When I got to the library, he was nowhere to be seen. He was likely to be very upset, since I should have met him there. I think I’d better apologize to him tomorrow    54   not keeping the appointment. I’d rather tell him the truth than make    55   excuse.

第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答案标号为31—40的相应位置。

One evening, I came across one of my son’s papers with a failing grade. I almost started to yell his name   31   I suddenly remembered he was in bed asleep. It was his   32  (nine) year of school and his academic career seemed to be in ruins, so I was angry. But I put the paper aside and turned to the   33   one, at the top of which were written “My dad”. It was a poem about me,   34   included the time I had to leave work to take him to the hospital because he   35  (break) his finger. So careless was I   36   I had forgotten all about that.

He talked about how I wrestled with him in the evenings and   37   good many other things. That paper was suddenly not nearly as important as it had been a few minutes   38  . I don’t know if he planted the poem next to the failing grade to   39  (soft) the blow, but it worked. Instead of a severe lecture, I talked to him about the poem as well as the failed homework, and it began to make sense to me that I could include praise along   40   constructive criticism.

So the evening turned to night, and the night turned to morning. And before I knew it , the SAT was before me. I wasn’t sure  if I was ready, but I knew one thing: I wanted to get it over with.
SAT for the students is like tooth pulling. For those smart Asian kiddos, it’s like walking through the park: easy and carefree. For me, a Chinese American, …it’s: walking through the park and then tripping on a stone.
As I arrived outside of the dining hall, already a mob of students were sitting, talking, or standing silently waiting to get in. Jones students are lucky not only to have such a testing center at school, but also the feeling of their home school where it feels comfortable and familiar.
“ID, please,” my former math teacher asked at the door.
“Okay.” She looked over my ID, checked off my name on her list, and pointed towards the dining hall tables inside.
With hesitation, I picked up my feet and was directed to a large round table in the middle of the dinning hall. At least fourteen people could sit at this table but only four were allowed to take their test here.
“I’m glad it’s multiple choices.” I heard one student say. All the questions on the test have five choices except for one math section where they have only four. If you get an answer wrong, you don’t get any point, plus you get a penalty of a 1/4 point. If you don’t answer a question, you don’t get any point, nor penalties.
When everyone had a seat and the actual SAT I booklet in front of them, the proctor of the test called for our attentions. “In front of you, you should have a SAT I test and a scantron（答题卡）. Please do not open the test booklet until I say so.” He then went on to talk about the procedures, the amount of time, signature of honesty, etc. After thirty minutes of instruction reading, he gave us all a solemn expression before saying, “You may begin now. Good luck.”
I could hear a hundred booklets being opened and pencils scratching the surface. I looked to my right, I looked to my left, I did a quick prayer for whoever was in charge up in the heavens, and started my test. At least I wouldn’t know my score until summer time.
【小题1】How did the author feel before the test?
