I played a tennis game against my cousin Ed last week, and I will never forget it.
I had played a lot of games before, but it was one of the most        games I’ve ever had. When Ed first phoned and suggested we play, I       quietly, thinking I was sure to beat him, because I didn’t think Ed could win any games with his fat body.
As long as I can remember: Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, but strangely        of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often joked about that, Ed        to buy a larger T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed arrived for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could        notice. I was so surprised that I was speechless.
My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into       . As a result, at the point in our game, when I’d have predicted(預測) I would win the game by 9 to 1, it was        7 to 9 —and Ed was leading. The sudden realization was       . We continued to play like two       men. When the score was 16 up. I even thought if I could stay alive. When the game finally ended, my cousin and I were lying on the floor on our backs, too tired to move. In some ways, I think that we        won: I won the game, but Cousin Ed won my respect.

試題分析：這篇短文主要講了我永遠無法忘記和Ed在上星期打的那場網(wǎng)球比賽。Ed是一個大腹便便的人，很胖。我本以為能夠很輕松地打敗他，但是結果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)比賽很艱巨。我們兩個人都贏了：我贏了比賽，但Ed贏得了我的尊敬。
小題1:考查形容詞。A. tiring累人的；B. interesting有趣的；C. moving感人的；D. frightening害怕的。句意：我以前打過很多比賽，但是這次是我曾經(jīng)打過的最累的比賽之一。從后文中得知，Ed打網(wǎng)球打得很好，我們兩人棋鼓相當。故選A。

“Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability,” said a teacher during a school meeting last term, “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed(失望的).”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went  to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.

The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.   
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.
小題1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A．for you to make more and more new friends
B．to begin your business talks
C．to get the conversation going smoothly
D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
小題2:After having asked somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to _______.
A．make clear what kind of person he is
B．listen to his reply attentively
C．wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D．go on asking him more questions
小題3:Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.
A．a(chǎn)re good at making any topic interesting
B．never talk too much or too little
C．a(chǎn)lways speak in a gentle way
D．know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
小題4:If you really want to meet someone again, _______.
A．you may take him as your lifelong true friend
B．it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C．it's proper for you to give him a second handshake
D．it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him
