We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said, "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last." After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted, "Dad! Dad! Holly crashed your truck."
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She'll never forget it."
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal (油門). Holly was unhurt physically but when reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I'm sorry. I know how much you love this truck." I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend dropped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened（潤濕） and she said, "That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad's car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me."
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night. It was a deep wound on her soul. I remember how sad Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹陷） in my truck is still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.
【小題1】What caused the crash?
| A．The brakes weren't working. |
| B．Holly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes. |
| C．Holly was drinking a soft drink while driving. |
| D．The car got a fiat tire and Holly lost control. |
| A．She suffered physical pain for a long time. |
| B．She lost the courage to drive. |
| C．Her father kicked her out of the house. |
| D．Her father was violent towards her. |
| A．When the author first learned about the crash, he regretted sending his daughter to the store. |
| B．The author allowed his daughter to use his truck because his son was too young to drive. |
| C．When the author saw the crash, he was sorry for the damage to his beloved car. |
| D．By comforting his daughter, the author showed how much more he loved her than his truck. |

| C．The hurt caused by her father affected her all the time. |
| D．Parents shouldn't beat their children. |

解析試題分析：文章大意：為讓女兒練習(xí)車技，父親讓經(jīng)驗不足的女兒駕著他心愛的卡車去商店購物。女兒回家停車時誤將油門當剎車，導(dǎo)致車撞到大貨車上了。父親的處理方式體現(xiàn)了，他對女兒的愛遠勝于對他的任何財物的愛。
【小題1】B 細節(jié)理解題。第三段In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal (油門).由于缺少經(jīng)驗，她把剎車和油門搞混了。
【小題2】D 細節(jié)理解題。第四段When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.當我到家的時候，爸爸把我打倒在地，開始踢我。由此可知，由于她把她爸爸的車弄壞了，她爸爸對她使用了暴力。
【小題3】D 細節(jié)理解題。第二段描寫作者聽到車撞到了這件事時的第一反應(yīng)：My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved?，可以知道作者擔(dān)心的是有人受傷了嗎？有沒撞到別的人？是這些擔(dān)心而不是后悔派女兒去商店�？芍狝是錯誤的。第一段It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving,可知作者是想讓女兒練練駕駛技術(shù)，而不是因為兒子太小，由此判斷B是錯誤的。第三段最后一句可知，作者看到現(xiàn)場時 ，女兒在哭，他是把女兒抱在懷里。I held her in my arms as she cried.因此，C是錯誤的。根據(jù)第一段里作者對兒子說的話，"Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last."以及作者在撞車現(xiàn)場的表現(xiàn)，可以知道，作者愛他女兒勝過愛他的車。因此，選D。
【小題4】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)這一句前面的Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night.四十年以后，她仍然能感受到那一夜的痛，可以知道她父親對她的傷害一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，這是對她心靈的深深的傷害。題目中的imply暗示，表明，B選項是直接說的，不是暗示的，因此不能選，另兩個明顯有錯。
【小題5】A 主旨大意題。本文前面幾段是講車禍，最后一段揭示主題：作者對女兒的愛勝于其他一切財物。I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.

The sun was just coming up when I headed out to work last May at 6 a.m. Not quite dark but dark enough to need my headlights. I turned onto one of the lonely rural country roads.
Maybe it was because I was listening to the radio, maybe it was because I was already thinking about some projects at work, that I didn’t spot the dark object on the road until I was too late. I ran over it and felt the back left tire pull, and then sink. I stopped and got out of the car.
No mystery here---- my back left tyre was cut like a loaf of bread. Back 50 yards was a piece of sharp iron I had run over. I had never changed a tyre. I looked up the road. Not a car in either direction. The nearest service station was miles away. I threw up my hands. Then I remembered---- my cell phone! I powered it up before realizing, I didn’t know who to call.
Wouldn’t you know it, I spotted a car coming from the opposite direction. The driver slowed as he approached. I guessed he could see I was in trouble. He stopped his car, got out and immediately saw the trouble. “Madam, would you like me to change that tyre for you?” he asked. The man couldn’t have been more friendly. I was frightened out there and he put me completely at ease. “There,” he said, after putting on the spare, “you are all set to go.”
“Good thing for me that you were driving this way,” I told him, as I climbed back into my car.
“Funny you should say that,” he said. “Just like you, I was heading to work, but my job is in the opposite direction. I made a wrong turn at some point. I don’t know what I was thinking.”
【小題1】The writer didn’t notice the object on the road because ______.
| A．it was rather dark then | B．she didn’t use her headlights |
| C．there was much traffic | D．she was careless when driving |
| A．the writer felt quite anxious |
| B．no one would like to help the writer |
| C．the writer was a new driver |
| D．the cell phone should be powered up |
| A．He stopped and laughed at her. |
| B．He walked over to frighten her. |
| C．He helped her without hesitation. |
| D．He drove away in the opposite direction. |
| A．went a wrong way | B．felt the writer funny |
| C．didn’t know what he was doing | D．come specially to help the writer |

In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.

“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”

Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韻律).
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (發(fā)作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
【小題1】John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.
| A．his early education from school | B．the deaths of his parents |
| C．Edmund Spenser’s poetry | D．the criticism of a magazine |
| A．They read many books. |
| B．They had a bad childhood |
| C．They died of the same disease. |
| D．They showed strong interest in poetry |
| A．Keats received little education at school. |
| B．Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor. |
| C．In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem. |
| D．Endymion was about a real love story. |
| A．determined | B．experienced | C．knowledgeable | D．impatient |
| A．Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young. |
| B．Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time. |
| C．It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella. |
| D．The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats. |

Richard Wagner was a German musician has been a very controversial(有爭議的) person, but he has gained great fame by writing opera, a form of performance combining singing, music on instruments, and drama.
While he wrote excellent music, many people think his operas are too dark and serious, lacking the fun common in operas written before his time.
Wagner, on the other hand, thought the opera of his time was too simple．He wanted to make opera a serious form of art that combined drama and music to tell deep stories that would have a strong effect on the audience.
Some people thought Wagner’s new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used to hearing．Wagner agreed with them．In fact, he didn’t call his works “operas” at all, using instead a German word that means “Musical Festival” or “Musical play”.
While many people today still do not like Wagner’s operas, they cannot deny that Wagner has had a lot of influence on opera as a form of art．Wagner invented the tradition of turning off the lights before starting a play．He also was the first person to make the whole audience sit down for an entire play．Today, almost all operas are performed in this manner.
Wagner as a man was even more controversial than Wagner as a writer of music．He hated Jewish people, and made many people angry, which we would today think of as evil．Some would say he was a good musician, while others would say that he was a bad musician．But it would be difficult to say he was not an important person in music and in the world.

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people，but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing．In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write, ”I say to them, “not want to be a writer”．
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coat Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no hope at all．What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building．It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom．I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer．
After a year or so．However, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself．It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat．But I knew I wanted to write，l had dreamed about it for years．I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure．This is the shadow land of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there．

During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.
Quite by accident I had pitched (set up) my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.
Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out a property of my own, including a long section of the wolves’ path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later, the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected (cut across) the trail, he stopped as suddenly as if he had run into an invisible wall.
Cautiously, he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me.
His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine.
【小題1】 Why did the wolves manage to ignore the author’s presence?
| A．Because his tent was out of the wolves’ estate boundaries. |
| B．Because the author and the wolves were already good friends. |
| C．Because they did not know him at all. |
| D．Because the wolves were afraid of strangers. |
| A．The author likes staring matches esp. with wolves. |
| B．Staking the land was very easy. |
| C．Wolves can see the estate boundaries clearly with their eyes. |
| D．The author managed to know why the wolves ignore his presence. |
| A．Wolves were not settled beasts, as is almost universally believed. |
| B．Wolves were settled beasts and the possessors of an estate with definite boundaries. |
| C．Wolves were not interested with strangers. |
| D．Wolves’ family was dominated by a female. |
| A．Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored. |
| B．Because he didn’t want the wolves to use the track past his tent. |
| C．Because he wanted the wolves to take cognizance of his existence. |
| D．Because he wanted to find out how fierce the wolf’s glare was. |

It was a rather hot day. Everybody seemed to be looking for some kind of relief, so an ice cream store was a natural place to stop at.
A little girl, holding her money firmly, entered the store. Before she could say a word, the store clerk sharply told her to get outside and read the sign on the door, and stay out until she put on the shoes. She left slowly, and a big man followed her out of the store.
The man watched as she stood in front of the store and read the sign. “No Bare (赤裸) Feet”.
Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she turned and walked away. Just then the big man called to her. After sitting down on the roadside, he took off his size-12 shoes, set them in front of the girl and saying, “Here, you won’t be able to walk in these, but if you slide (拖) along, you can get your ice cream.”
Then he lifted the little girl up and set her feet into the shoes. “Take your time,” he said, “I get tired of moving them around, and it’s good to just sit here and eat my ice cream.”
The shining eyes of the little girl could not be missed as she ordered her ice cream.
He was a big man, all right. Big body, big shoes, but most of all, he had a big heart.

Moving can bring out the best and the worst in people, I’m finding. And I’ve discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.
After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I had to move this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she would work as a sales assistant. Not knowing a person there, we were pretty concerned about all the work, including how we’d get all the things unloaded without killing ourselves.
We decided to pay a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there. But one neighbor after another stopped by and joined in. “What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we’ve died and gone to heaven!” I thought.
Unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. The more people that helped, the easier the work became. A job we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was done in just a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.
All the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. Among all the conversations were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town. I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what it’s like to look out for one another. I used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now I live in Defiance!
【小題1】The author and his wife moved to Defiance because ________.
| A．they thought moving often brought out the best |
| B．a(chǎn) couple of students had promised to help them |
| C．they liked this little town |
| D．his wife had found a job |
| A．grateful | B．surprised | C．embarrassed | D．excited |
| A．help them unload | B．invite them to a dinner |
| C．offer to drive them around | D．welcome their coming |
| A．He hated to live in a little town. |
| B．He liked to make friends with strangers. |
| C．He usually offered some help to others. |
| D．He refused to make friends with strangers. |
| A．we don’t know what is good until we have lost it |
| B．kindness is the sunshine of social life |
| C．where there is a will, there is a way |
| D．there is no place like home |
