[2013·衡阳八中高三六次月考]
I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two year old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.
56. The author has given lots of food to others because________.
A. she is poor at cooking
B.she is a church member
C.she is friendly to others
D.she has received others' food
57. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author________.
A. had to stay in bed for several weeks
B.knew the family in need very well
C.was glad to be able to lend a hand
D.was tired of preparing food
58. What do we know about the author's family?
A. Her family is too poor to buy enough food.
B. Her family lives not far from a church.
C. Her husband is not good at cooking.
D.She has a babysitter taking care of her twins.
59. According to the passage, which of the following conclusions can we get?
A. A good beginning makes a good ending.
B.One good turn deserves another.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.Every man has his faults.

[2013·新课标全国卷Ⅰ]
Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school,and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked,and Delta, the airline,offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children,and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
60.Why did Delta give the author's family credits?
A. They took a later flight.
B. They had early bookings.
C. Their flight had been delayed.
D. Their flight had been cancelled.
61.What can we learn about the author?
A. She rarely misses a good deal.
B. She seldom makes a compromise.
C. She is very strict with her children.
D. She is interested in cheap products.
62.What does the author do?
A. She's a teacher.
B. She's a housewife.
C. She's a media person.
D. She's a businesswoman.
63.What does the author want to tell us?
A.How to expose bad tricks.
B. How to reserve airline seats.
C. How to spend money wisely.
D. How to make a business deal.

[2013·安徽省级示范高中名校联考]
Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013,and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong,Ireland and even Canada. The EIU,a sister company of the Economist,tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy,safe and prosperous life in years to come.
People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth,health and trust in public institutions,according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway,Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a ‘qualityoflife' index(指数)highlighting where it is best to be born next year.
One of the most important factors is being rich,but other factors come into play—including crime,trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total,the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography,others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口统计学),social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030,which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries,with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.
Half of the top 10 countries are European,but only one,the Netherlands,is from the eurozone. The crisisridden south of Europe,including Greece,Portugal and Spain,falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly,the largest European economies—Germany,France and Britain—do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羡慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.
64.According to the passage,the happiest people live in________.
A.Denmark B.Switzerland C.Germany D.Nigeria
65.The factors of telling the best place to be born don't include________.
A.economy B.geography C.trust in public institutions D.pollution
66.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.
B.The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.
C.The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.
D.Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.
67.The purpose of the text is to show people________.
A.the best place to be born in 2013
B.a new study made by the EIU
C.the worst country to be born in 2013
D.the factors of measuring the best place to be born

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
__71__ Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. __72__ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. __73__ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
__74__ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.__75__ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.
A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

答案与解析
21. D 考查交际用语。句意:“我们可以把我们的房子装修一下吗?”“最好不要,我认为像现在这样很好。” why not为什么不;sound great听起来很好;not exactly不完全是,未必就;better not最好不。根据句意应选D项。
22.A 本题考查动词的时态。题干中的but提示:“我”第一次见到布莱恩的时候不喜欢他,但现在喜欢他。故用现在完成时,选A。句意:当我第一次见到布莱恩的时候我不喜欢他,但我现在改变想法了。
23. D 考查动词短语辨析。句意:“你知道Michael为什么要从董事会辞职吗?”“他提出要增加薪水,但最终被拒绝了。”put down镇压,记下;break down打破,折断,出故障;cut down消减,砍倒;turn down调小,拒绝。根据题意可知选D项。
【拓展延伸】turn down常作“关小,调低”讲,而作为“拒绝”讲时,使用更广泛。
24. D 考查定语从句。句意:我们还记得我们一起在老房子里度过的那天。此处the day为先行词,关系词which作spend的宾语,故选D项。
【误区警示】 本题易误选C项,看到day表示时间,考生就会条件反射地选择了C项,而没有去分析从句中的成分。此题的关键在于从句中的谓语动词spent,它是及物动词,句中缺少宾语,所以先行词在句子中应作spent的宾语,故选D项。
25.A 考查情态动词。“can't+have done”表示对过去发生的事的推测。句意:——为什么你的眼睛那么红?你昨晚肯定睡得不好。——是啊,我熬夜写报告。
26. C 考查非谓语动词。be faced with面临,面对。句子的主语是he,he和be faced with构成逻辑上的主谓关系,选C项,作原因状语。
【误区警示】 本题易误选D项。考生对face作动词的用法概念不清,face可作及物动词,也可作不及物动词,后可直接跟宾语。如:She stood up from the table and faced him. 她从桌前站起来,面向着他。face常用短语有face up to,be faced with,所以本题不能选D项,因为空格后有介词with,如果没有with可选facing。
27. C 考查动词词义辨析。句意:昨天我碰见了我以前的同学,但是我想不起来他的名字了,这让我很尴尬。escape逃脱,被忘记,被忽视;forget 一般指忘记某物;miss错过;remind使想起。根据题意可知选C项。
28.A 考查连词的用法。even if 即使,虽然。as if 犹如,好像。句意:他是如此忙碌。即使他想,他也抽不出足够的时间与他的儿子待在一起。
29. B考查倒装句。其形式为neither/nor+助动词+主语。
30.B 考查形容词比较级。前面说看电视浪费时间,后面说的是还有比这更有意义的事要做,需用比较级。句意:我认为每天晚上看电视浪费时间——还有更多的有意义的事情要做。
31. D 考查省略。句意:课堂上被提问时,应尽可能清楚地回答。本句前半句实际上是when one is asked questions in class的省略。C项表示“将要被提问”,不合乎语境。
32. D 考查名词词义辨析。此处a simple trick一个小把戏。句意:我很吃惊,你竟然被这样的小把戏给骗了。
33. A考查形容词词义辨析。此处in common with同……一样。句意:同大多数年轻人一样,他讨厌早上早起。
34. D 考查介词辨析。句意:为你新装修的家选择窗帘前,重要的是要了解什么颜色看上去和墙纸相匹配。窗帘的颜色和墙纸相匹配,常用介词against,表示“与……(形成)对照,与……衬托,以……为背景”,故选D项。
【归纳总结】against作为介词的词义很多,而本题中against意为“与……(形成)对照,与……衬托,以……为背景”,这种用法常被考生忽略。
35.B 考查冠词用法。句意:人们普遍认为人与人之间的最短距离是真诚的微笑。第一空考查形容词最高级前加the;第二空是抽象名词具体化。故选B。
第二节 完形填空
【要点综述】 本文为一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一个任性的女孩,喜欢一意孤行。在有暴风雨的日子不听大人的劝告,非得去潜水,结果遭遇了危险,好在有人相救,让女孩不胜感激,也从中得到了教训。
36. D 考查代词辨析及语境理解。由第一句可知Diane Ray非常自私并且被宠坏了,因此父母应该给她一切她想要的东西。
37. B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为“如果她的要求得不到满足,她就会尖叫、踢打以及躺在地上敲打着她的脚后跟。”故选B项,其余三项不合常理。
38. C 考查动词短语辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是:“她的父母总是屈服。”由前文知道她总发脾气,让父母没办法,只好屈服。give in意为“屈服”,符合语境。
39. A 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是:“那是为什么她穿着昂贵的泳装,独自在沙滩上的原因。”此题关键在于对该空后面的对应词swimsuit的理解。
40. C 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“她耍了一个大脾气让父母买的。”C选项“get”,有说服之意,符合语境。
41. B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“在发过脾气之后恢复过来。”联系上下文可知,在发过脾气恢复正常之后,父母才能劝说她。
42. A 考查副词辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是:“独自去潜水太危险了。”由本段第一句“…why she was alone…”可知答案。
43. D 考查名词的用法及搭配。该空所在句的句意为“你们只是不想让我玩得高兴。”have fun意为“玩得高兴”,符合语境。
44. B 考查语境。该空所在句的句意为:“直到这个人说话,她才知道这个人在那儿。” not…until…意为“直到……才……”,符合语境。
45. C 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。那个人说的“你今天不应该来游泳”以及“暴风雨就要来了”是建议,故选C项。
46. A 考查名词词义辨析及搭配。由前文知道她的性格,可知,她应该是说“你少管闲事”。mind one's own business意为“少管闲事”,符合语境。
47. B 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“如果你去那儿,你会后悔的。”sorry意为“后悔的”,符合语境。
48. D 考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“她溜下水,开心地潜水。”happily意为“开心地”,符合语境。
49. B 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“白色泡沫开始卷入,并且很难逆着水流游动。”由语境可知swim合适。
50. A 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“海水打在她的脸上,让她难以呼吸。”根据常识可知正确答案是A项。
51. D 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为:“惊慌中,她开始尖叫。”由前后文可知,她遭遇了危险,应该会大声尖叫。
52. A 考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是:“她听到一个镇静的声音。”由前文可知,那个人知道她去游泳了,以及后文可知他准备好了船来救她,以及他说的打算让她得到一个教训,可知那人是有备而来,因此此刻的声音应该是镇静的。
53. B 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。有人来相救,应该是松了一口气。relief意为“轻松,宽慰”,符合语境。注意ease意为“轻松,舒适”,不合语境。
54. C 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。在有暴风雨的日子来到海上,对于彼此来说都是危险的。
55. D 考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。由前文提到的老人划船来救她,故此处应该是把她拖到船的一边。
III. 阅读理解
A
【要点综述】 作者的母亲过世的时候,社区教堂中的女人给她带过食物;作者怀孕的时候,社区教堂中的女人也同样给她带过食物,并帮她照顾她两岁的女儿。因此,今天有人需要帮助的时候,作者也非常愿意伸出援手。
56. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life.” 可知,作者乐于赠送食物给别人是因为她自己也曾经收到他们的许多馈赠,故选D项。
57. C 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“Of course, I responded with an immediate ‘Yes!.’”可推断作者非常高兴能帮助别人,故选C项。
58. B 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food.”可知教堂在作者生活的社区里面,即离她家不远,故选B项。
59. B 推理判断题。通过上下文可知,作者在自己困难的时候接受过别人的帮助,故如今她也非常乐意帮助别人,由此可得出这么一个结论:善有善报。故选B项。
B
【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过一家人乘飞机返家过程中由于机票超额预定,从而推迟回家而得到航空公司的赔偿一事,引出在日常生活中如何利用一些机会合理地花钱,体现了一个女人在持家方面的睿智。

第四部分
第一节 短文改错:
1.go→ went 考查动词时态。由时间状语One Sunday morning可知本句用一般过去时,故动词用过去式。
2.ours→ our 考查代词用法。此处作定语,修饰名词fishing poles,需用形容词性物主代词。
3.去掉so 考查连词用法。本句是主从复合句,从句中已经含有连词as soon as,所以主句中不需加并列连词。
4.Before→ After 考查状语从句。本句意思是:等了大约半个小时以后……
5.impatiently→ impatient 考查形容词用法。get是系动词,后跟形容词作表语。
6.and→ but 考查连词用法。根据句意可知前后分句之间是转折关系,故并列连词用but。
7.were→ was 考查主谓一致。there be句型的主语是be后的名词或代词,而此处be后的名词是可数名词单数,故用was。
8.在fish前加a 考查冠词用法。fish是可数名词单数,此处是第一次提到,前需加不定冠词a。
9.minute→ minutes 考查名词的单复数。由few修饰,故minute应用复数。
10.Felt→ Feeling 考查非谓语动词。feel是感官动词,无被动语态,此处用非谓语动词形式作状语,用v.-ing形式。

Dear friends,
Today we are having a farewell party to honor our friend Peter. He is going back to his homeland before the New Year. In the past year Peter and all of us have been on good terms. Also we have helped each other and become good friends. Thank you, Peter, for being a part of this class! We have a better atmosphere of English learning so we have become more interested in English and have made great progress. We really appreciate your help and friendship. Dear Peter, we will miss you and we all hope that we can keep in touch. We expect you to come back some day. Good luck, Peter.
May you have a pleasant journey home!
