小題5:考查詞義比較句法功能詞匯用法 出版商對她的作品感興趣(interested)，隨即向她提出建議。Interested="As" they were interested；Encouraged的邏輯主語應(yīng)是Tracy，而不是出版商；anxiously(憂慮地, 不安地)和seriously(認(rèn)真地, 真誠地)通常不作句子性副詞用，故不能出現(xiàn)在這個位置上。選A。

小題16:考查邏輯推理常識運(yùn)用詞義比較 書來得很是蹊蹺，作者先前知道(know)、意識到會(realize)有這樣的書，但沒有送(send)出去過，更沒有預(yù)定過(order)。按常識道理，沒有預(yù)定，郵遞員不會送東西到家來，更何況是自己想弄的東西。選D。
小題17:考查邏輯推理，詞義比較，前后照應(yīng) 雖然作者已經(jīng)出版了45本書，可仍然沒有由于名譽(yù)而有絲毫改變(unchanged)。由后文although in a more comfortable home 說明unmoved不妥。Excited和determined與文意不符。選A
小題18:考查邏輯推理常識運(yùn)用 作者也許在原先的城市(city)，原先的房子(house)居住，但不能是原先的生活(life)，而是以與27年前同樣的生活方式(way)生活著。選D。
小題19:考查前后照應(yīng)邏輯推理 注意與后句的比較。作者不僅僅只是單一的寫作了，作者的生活中有了更多的機(jī)會或空間來享受生活的多樣化(variety)。網(wǎng)上下載，此題為C(joy歡樂)，筆者認(rèn)為有所不妥，joy缺少比較前提，前文并沒有作任何鋪墊。joy與success和work一樣與后句的it wasn't just writing不形成對立關(guān)系。選C。
小題20:考查前后照應(yīng)：不僅僅只是寫作(writing)。注意與文章前面her writing skill，a part-time writer for IBM，writing stories was simply a personal interest的相一致。reporting，luck和fun與文意不符。選A。

Former National Football League player and children’s author Tim Green has added another book to his list of accomplishments: Unstoppable. The book tells the story of a 12-year –old boy named Harrison, who survives life in a cruel foster home before he finally finds a loving family. Once he settles in and realizes his natural football ability, tragedy strikes again and he loses his leg to a deadly bone cancer. Unstoppable follows Harrison’s incredible journey as he faces many challenges in his life.
Tim Green says he decided to write a novel about a kid facing cancer after watching how his wife fought to survive her own illness. “Her mental and physical toughness were more heroic to me than anything I’d ever seen in the national sports leagues,” Green told TFK Kid Reporter Zachary J. Lewis.
After watching his wife’s battle, Green said, he knew he needed to write about a person who struggled through a serious illness. But because the target age for his books is teen, he needed to tell the story through the eyes of someone that age.
When friends introduced Green to Jeffrey Keith, Green knew he had found the right person to help him“ capture the heroism that it takes to fight cancer”. Cancer-survivor Jeffrey Keith lost his leg to disease at age twelve, but went on to be the goalie （守門員）for the Boston College Division 1 Lacrosse（長曲棍球）Team and was also the first amputee to run 3,300 miles across the country. When Green heard Jeffrey Keith’s story, he knew it was the perfect narrative on which to base his next book.
TFK asked Keith what it felt like to read Unstoppable for the first time. “Tim captured what it felt like for me to go through this experience and battle back,” Keith said. “After I read the book, Tim asked me to describe it in one word, and I said ‘a(chǎn)wesome’. Tim’s work sends a message to all the kids across the country that are facing obstacles that can have nothing to do with cancer: you are all unstoppable, as long as you believe it.”
小題1:Who inspires Tim Green to write the novel Unstoppable?
A．A boy named Harrison.B．His wife.
C．Zachary J. Lewis. .D．Jeffrey Keith
小題2:The underlined word “amputee” in Paragraph 4 most probably means________
A．a(chǎn) person who has survived cancer
B．a(chǎn) person who has had a leg or an arm cut off
C．a(chǎn) person who looks different from others
D．a(chǎn) person who has no arms or legs
小題3:What do we know from the last paragraph?
A．Jeffrey Keith thinks highly of Unstoppable.
B．Jeffrey Keith has read Unstoppable many times.
C．Unstoppable will be one the best-sellers this year.
D．Jeffrey Keith is fond of reading Tim Green’s novels.
小題4:The novel Unstoppable intends to inspire kids that ________.
A．they should fight against disease fearlessly
B．they should pursue their dreams
C．they can become a writer if they want
D．they can overcome any obstacles ahead

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts ,it came without wrap（包裝）. On September 11, 1958, mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap（大腿）, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is .” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard mum and dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”，and “dying”, which sounded ominous.
“Christmas was coming, don’t expect any presents this year ”Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say.” What? he’s all right?” he hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we could bring Richard home! ”
“Thank god!” I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love!

One day, when I was in college, a dishonest-looking character approached me in the student union with a leather jacket he wanted to sell. It was a beauty: buttery smooth cowskin, with artfully sewed lines and long leather fringes (穗).
I can’t remember what the price was, but it was apparently too little for such a jacket. Even as I paid the money that day, I knew something wasn’t right. Surely, a couple of days later, the jacket’s real owner, a student about my age came to me as I was on my way to class.
“That’s my jacket,” he said, “and I want it back.”
“No way,” I answered. “I paid for it, and I have no idea if it’s yours. It’s mine.”
He didn’t challenge me, and I left, but the uneasiness(不安) I had about my new possession now had a visible face. A few days later, riding my bike across campus, I saw the real owner standing on the sidewalk. I rode over, took the jacket off, handed it to him said I was sorry, and rode off without another word. More than the weight of the jacket had been lifted from my shoulders.
We’re all human, which means that sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do or say things we shouldn’t say. Sometimes we realize too late that our actions have been hurtful to somebody else. When these hard times occur, the best response --- the only response, really --- is, “I’m sorry.”
Admitting a wrongdoing, as soon as possible and frankly, helps the other person begin to heal. But just as important, it cleans up our own soul and sets us free.
That is a small price to pay for a clear conscience.
小題1:The author bought the leather jacket from the man in the student union because ______   .
A．it was charged at a reasonable price
B．it was a very attractive jacket
C．he was in great need of clothing
D．he was happy to find such a bargain
小題2:The phrase “had a visible face” in the passage probably implies（暗含） “______  ”.
A．started to bother me badly
B．might be clearly expressed
C．began to give me away openly
D．could be instantly melting away
小題3:Giving the leather jacket back to the real owner, the author ______    .
A．offered his forgivenessB．felt very much relieved
C．rode away unwillinglyD．realized his wrongdoing
小題4:What is the author’s purpose of this writing?
A．To encourage the readers to admit errors honestly.
B．To show the readers the reality of his college life.
C．To give the readers a lesson on how to say sorry to others.
D．To tell the readers a story that once happened at college.

Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care. If we are to solve the nursing shortage. hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example .
At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history  to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient's illness but which also  includes everything else that is necessary.
The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization. keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding  to treatment. it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What  the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.

There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition  to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit's nurses decide among themselves who will work what  shifts and when.
