[2013·重庆卷]
A
The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching,and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday,but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book,but no one could see me immediately. Finally,at about lunchtime,I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,”the receptionist said,“the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?Why wasn't he as busy as the others?
In the dentist's office,I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears,she laughed and said,“Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.
“Come on,he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,”the assistant said.
“The artwork?”I was puzzled.\
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture,right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was!At that moment,I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
56.Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?
A.Cheerful.
B.Nervous.
C.Satisfied.
D.Upset.
57.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A.The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B.The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.
C.The surroundings of the dentist's office.
D.The laughing assistant of the dentist.
58.Why did the author suddenly smile?
A.Because the dentist came at last.
B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C.Because she could relax in the chair.
D.Because the assistant kept comforting her.
59.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

C.Put oneself in other's shoes.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B
In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.
Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountain, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.
60.“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. a program directed by Dorothy
B. a course given by the author
C. an activity held by the students
D. an organization sponsored by Union College
61.In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing ________.
A. the long track B. the poor houses
C. the same train D. the winding road
62.Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by ________.
A. a warm welcome
B. the sight of poke greens
C. Dorothy's latest projects
D. a big dinner made for her
63.What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?
A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.
B. She got a pen as a gift from the author.
C. She passed the required assessment.
D. She received her Ph.D. degree.

C
When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金会),nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more,so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It's a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris,who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time,had been a “policeman” for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too,and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish,” explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.
64.Sophia found out about Make-A-Wish because her best friend had ________.
A.benefited from it B.volunteered to help it
C.dreamed about it D.told the author about it
65.According to Sophia, Make-A-Wish ________.

66.What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3?
A.He has been a policeman since he was seven.
B.He gave people the idea of starting Make-A-Wish.
C.He wanted people to help make his dream come true.
D.He was the first child Make-A-Wish helped after it had been set up.
67.Which of the following is true about Make-A-Wish volunteers?
A.They are important for making wishes come true.
B.They try to help children get over their illnesses.
C.They visit sick children to make them feel special.

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.
Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion…
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
“My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.
“But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly.
Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
“Don't you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.“Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head…so I'd better listen.”
“Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me. She will move in herself next month.”
“What is her name?”
“Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”
“What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”
“How so? How can it possibly affect them?”
“My dear love: those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.”
“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”
“Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”
“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.”
“Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same.”
And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.
…It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.
67.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Austen was born 200 years ago.
B.Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.
C.Austen's success lies in her wisdom.
D.Austen's updated work gains popularity.
68.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ________.
A.had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
B.felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
C.was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
D.had a great curiosity about Bingley
69.In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.
A. get married to B. work for her
C. help her move in D. take over her store
70.What does the writer intend to tell us?
A.Women with brains can also be as successful as men.
B.Women have to pay a high price for success.
C.A judgment must be made free from prejudice.
D.Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.

(基础题)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Time for a Brainstorm
A brainstorm is a session where a small group of people come together to solve a problem People voice spontaneous ideas, sometimes just shouting, and a note-taker writes them all down. 71 By getting different ideas out there, ideas are said to bounce off each other and even can help solve the problem at hand.Brainstorming is often a group exercise but individuals can also conduct personal brainstorms.
72 He defined it as using the brain to storm a creative problem and do so in commando (突击队) fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective.According to him, it was easier to tone down a wild idea than think up a new one.He placed importance on the collection of as many ideas as possible and dismissed scientific thinking.
Brainstorming has become one of the most popular ways to solve problems and hold discussion in schools and businesses.Many students brainstorm for a group assignment or even for a personal essay.Sarah Grace, 24, is an Australian marketing analyst and uses brainstorming during all her creative duties.She thinks brainstorming is the best way to work as a team.The sessions get everyone on the same page, everyone moving together and with a clear understanding about the foundations of an event or idea. 73
However, a big problem with brainstorming is creating a mess that leads people further away from a solution. 74 If you don't have a strong moderator or leader of the brainstorm, can go really off track, and people just start discussing something totally different.Brainstorming can sometimes confuse the human brain. 75 If you brainstorm too much and your page is filled up with all the messy links, you can paint yourself into a bit of corner and get trapped with ideas You need to move past brainstorming as soon as you have something workable.
A.The ideas can be smart, strange or crazy.
B.It is caused by a lack of direction from a leader.
C.Brainstorming really helps her organize her thoughts.
D.Brainstorming really is the best way to build team spirit.
E.It can open too many doors and not suggest a clear direction.
F.Brainstorms were popularized in the 1940s by American advertising boss Alex Osborn.
G.They can be words, phrases, paragraphs and anything that can help answer the question.

Dear Diary,
Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained, “He was lucky to find other one.” His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school or just everything else I love in the world. To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am awfully tiring, but I know I'll never fall sleep.
Good night and remember, you, dear diary, is my only souvenir from my past life and my only friend.
Yours,
Rosemary

答案与解析
21.B 考查情景交际。句意:——我收到的T恤衫跟网上展出的不一样。——怎么会那样呢?我向你保证我们将立刻着手调查。How come?意为“怎么会?”,符合语境。A项意为“谁说的”;C项意为“为何目的”;D项意为“为何担忧”,均与语境不符。
22.C 考查不定代词。句意:尽管Rosemary多年来一直遭受重病的困扰,但她一点也没有失去对生活的热情。所填词表示全部否定,故选C。
23.D 考查动词的时态。若时间状语为“in/for/over the past /last +一段时间”,动词应用现在完成进行时,表示“一直在……”。句意为:那个女孩对运动很感兴趣,在过去的三年中每周参加两次羽毛球课程。
24.A 考查非谓语动词。从句中的again可知,Tina已经在这家自助餐馆吃过饭,再根据句中的before可知,空格中这个动作要发生在didn't want之前,eat与Tina是主动的关系,故用现在分词的完成式。句意:Tina以前在这家自助餐馆吃过饭,她不想再在那里吃了。
25.C 考查动词短语辨析。find out意为“找出,查明”;wash out意为“刷洗”; wear out意为“用坏,穿破”;set out意为 “动身,出发”。句意:妈妈总是抱怨孩子们很快穿破他们的鞋子。根据语境判断,此处用C选项最为合适。
26.B 考查动词词义辨析。 involve意为“涉及, 卷入,需要”。句意为: Michelle找到一份当高中老师的工作,这需要花很多时间和学生在一起。只有B项符合句意。
27.D 考查动词的时态。句意:水供应被暂时切断了,因为工人们正在修其中的一根主水管。根据句意可知,表示现在正在进行的动作,用现在进行时。
28. C 考查情态动词的用法。句意:据说那个城镇有许多宾馆。你找宾馆不应该有问题。根据题意可知选C项。
29.B 考查同位语从句。此处是由that引导的同位语从句,指代belief的具体内容,同时从句中不缺少成分,所以用that引导,这里选B项。
30. C 考查名词性从句。________ struck me most 是主语从句,在这个从句中缺主语,因此用what引导。
31.B 考查时间状语从句。句意:做任何决定之前都要学会顾及自己的感受和做这件事的理由。此处before引导时间状语从句,意为“在……之前”。
32.A 考查定语从句。在非限制性定语从句中,用which; in which case 指代前面he may win the competition。
33.D 考查倒装。句意:迈克尔从来没有想到过有一天自己会成为班上的优秀学生之一。否定词not once置于句首,引起部分倒装。
34. D 考查并列连词的用法。句意:没办法知道为什么一个人有重大发现,而另外一个人虽然也很聪明,却没有(重大发现)。 此处while是并列连词,表示转折和对比,意思是“然而”。根据句意选D。
35.A 考查副词词义辨析。either意为“也”;neither 意为“也不”;too用于肯定句; also 也用于肯定句。句意为:如果一个社会把传统扔掉了,就不可能是一个成功的社会;但如果我们做了阻止社会发展的事情,这个社会也不可能是一个成功的社会。

【要点综述】 作者牙痛难忍,通过电话簿寻医,大多数医生不能马上为她诊治。最后,一位牙医欣然同意立马诊治。作者对该医生的医术能力表示怀疑:别的医生都很忙,只有医道不精者才门可罗雀。但后来的事实表明作者看人的方式有问题。在该诊所,作者受该医生匠心独运的安排的影响,调整了心情,忘却了病痛,也明白了事理。
56.D 推理判断题。第一段中,aching, hurt及unbearable等词均描述作者的心境:难受。
57.A 细节理解题。第三段最后两句说明作者对该牙医的怀疑:别的牙医均未答应立即施救,唯独该牙医欣然答应诊治,反倒引起别人对其医术的怀疑。
58.B 推理判断题。因为看见天花板上医生为病人绘制的美图,会使病人忘却病痛,因此作者感到释然而笑。该题干扰较大的选项为C,但坐在牙科医生的手术椅上不一定就能缓解病痛,故排除C项。
59.C 综合推理题。 put oneself in other's shoes为习语,意思为:使某人处于和别人相同的处境,即换位思考。牙医用天花板的美图来消解病人的苦痛,即改变对事物的认识角度,从而解决问题。

【要点综述】 Dorothy在一所条件非常差的学校获得了很大的成功,这说明一个人获得成功与他在什么地方没有直接关系,最重要的是要付出努力。
60. B 细节理解题。 根据文章第一段第三句可知,Early Childhood Development是作者教的一门课程。
61. B 细节理解题。 根据文章第二段最后一句的“…the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.”可知,又小又破的房子使作者感到最为失望,因此B项正确。
62. A 细节理解题。 根据文章第三段第一、二句可知,一到Dorothy的教室,作者就受到热烈的欢迎,这使她的忧郁消失了,因此A项正确。
63. C 推理判断题。 文章最后一段第三句提到Dorothy面试材料准备充分,而此段的“…to celebrate her victory…”说明Dorothy已经通过了评估测试。

【要点综述】 本文通过对索菲亚的采访,向读者介绍了Make-A-Wish这个国际组织。

【要点综述】 文章选自改编版名著《傲慢与偏见》章节,独辟蹊径,夹叙夹议,通过讲述Mrs Bennet对Bingley从事商业活动的态度及她本人的经历,深刻揭示了性别歧视依然存在这一社会现实。文章将古典文学的欣赏性与现实的批判性有机地结合起来。
67.C 细节理解题。根据文章开头“Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence.” 可知。intelligence“智力”相当于wisdom。
68.A 句意理解题。画线句子意为:我完全不懂得一个女人是怎样懂得做生意的。结合上文她告诉丈夫时说的话及说话的语气可知,Mrs Bennet对Bingley既崇敬又惊讶。
69.B 细节理解题。从原文句子“…those lazy boys need something to wake them up.” 及“She surely needs one of our boys!” 可知答案。
70.D 推理判断题。 根据原文最后一段,作者说十年后的今天,Mrs Bennet 虽然已是一名老员工了,但她的工资及福利均比不上男同事,说明现在社会仍然存在性别歧视。

短文改错:
1.去掉far。考查副词。far前有具体的数字350 miles,所以要去掉far。350 miles away from表示“离……有350英里”。
2.move改为moved。考查动词的时态。从last week知,此处为一般过去时态。
3.other改为another。考查代词。another表示三者或三者以上中的一个,而other则只表示两者之一,这里范围不确定,故用another。
4.classmate改为classmates。考查名词的数。同学有很多,所以用复数形式。
5.or改为and。考查连词。根据语境,此处表示递进关系,故用and。
6.bad改为worse。考查形容词。to make matters worse是固定词组,表示“更糟糕的是”。
7.is后添加the/my。考查冠词或代词。first day前面要有限定词,所以用the或者my。
8.tiring改为tired。考查形容词。以-ed结尾的形容词多用来修饰人,以-ing结尾的形容词多用来修饰事或物,因为主语为“I”,故用tired。
9.sleep改为asleep。fall asleep是固定词组,表示“入睡”。
10.is改为are。考查主谓一致。主语是you,所以谓语动词用are。
One possible version:
I'm_an_18-year-old_middle_school_student. I have been busy with my study and seldom helped my parents with the housework. Feeling quite sorry for that, I begin to think about what to do to help.
Last Sunday, when my parents went out shopping, I suddenly got an idea: why not give the rooms a thorough cleaning? Firstly, I collected all the books, newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place. Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture. After that, I swept and mopped the floors.
At this very moment, my parents came back and were quite surprised to see all the rooms tidy and floors shining. My mother gave me a hug and I could see satisfaction in her eyes. Tired as I was, I never felt so happy.
