10．Driving to the airport in the early morning，I felt excited．Although I was heading abroad for my first time alone，I felt cheerful and enthusiastic．I was spending the summer in Paris．
While looking for more interesting things to do besides sleeping and eating，I found programs for learning languages abroad，and jumped at the chance to study French in this city known for its art，fashion，food and culture．As I arrived at the airport where I would leave my family，I still felt only great happiness．I excitedly made my way through security，leaving my loved ones behind．
My connecting flight was in Frankfurt，Germany，14 hours from Denver．Sitting in a crowded plane watching bad movies couldn't dampen my excitement．When the woman next to me asked me where I was going，I happily answered and was pleased to note a tone of jealousy in her response．
But when I arrived in Frankfurt，fear and anxiety began to set in．Being in an enormous，busy building in a country where I couldn't speak the language was frightening，but as I found my way，I gained confidence．When I boarded the second plane and discovered that the flight was less than an hour，I was filled with excitement as I thought of how I would manage in a country with a new language．
When I stepped on the ground of Pairs for the first time，I was extremely happy and excited．I gathered my bags and joined the crowd of people waiting for friends and family．I quickly had my first experience trying to communicate in a language that I had only practiced in school．As I left the airport，I looked for familiar monuments I had read about，but the landscape looked very ordinary．Then，with one sharp turn，the Eiffel Tower came into view，and I was finally in Pairs．
33．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．It was the first time that the writer had traveled abroad．
B．In the new term the writer was to study French in Paris．
C．The crowded plane made the writer less excited．
D．The writer flew to Paris via another country．
34．What can we learn from the passage？C
A．The writer was travelling with a woman friend of her parents'．
B．Arriving in Paris，the writer saw some family friends waiting for her．
C．The writer was not alone when travelling to the airport in Denver．
D．The writer had great difficulty communicating with people in French．
35．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．The writer's excitement and happiness on her journey to Paris．
B．The writer's exciting experiences of studying French in Paris．
C．The writer's expectation for French art，fashion，food and culture．
D．The writer's excitement resulting from her first ride on a plane．

分析 本文作者主要描述的是去往巴黎途中的興奮和開心．

解答 33．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由文章第三段首句"My connecting flight was in Frankfurt，Germany，14hours from Denver．"和第四段"But when I arrived in Frankfurt，fear and anxiety began to set in．When I boarded the second plane"可以看出作者去巴黎的途中要轉(zhuǎn)換飛機(jī)的．所以答案選D．
34．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由文中第二段最后一句"As I arrived at the airport where I would leave my family，I still felt only great happiness．I excitedly made my way through security，leaving my loved ones behind．"可知有家人送作者去機(jī)場(chǎng)．又由于"My connecting flight was in Frankfurt，Germany，14hours from Denver．"可知Denver是作者出發(fā)的地方．所以答案選C．
35．A 主旨大意．縱觀全文作者主要描述的是去往巴黎途中的興奮和開心，文中多次出現(xiàn)excitement 和happiness的描述．所以答案選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息？或是其變體．搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息．在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié)．做這類題一般采用尋讀法？即先讀題，然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語(yǔ)或句子，再對(duì)相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對(duì)比，找出答案．

16．It all began with a stop at a red light．
    Kevin Saiwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter，Hannah，back from a sleepover in 2006．While waiting at a traffic light，they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．
"Dad，if that man had a less nice car，that man there could have a meal．"Hannah protested．The light changed and they drove on，but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered （糾纏）her parents about inequity，insisting that she wanted to do something．
"What do you want to do？"her mom responded．"SelI our house？"
    Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds （收入）to charity，while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．
    Eventually，that's what the family did．The project--crazy，impetuous （魯莽的）and absolutely inspiring--is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month：The Power of Half．It's a book that，frankly，I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this，and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street．
    At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere，when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes，the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago，it described neurological （神經(jīng)學(xué)的）evidence from brain scans （掃描）that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．
    Mr．Salwen and his wife，Joan，had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house．But after they downsized，there was much less space to retreat to，so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

41．What does the underlined word"inequity"most probably mean in Paragraph 3？A
A．Unfairness．
B．Satisfaction．
C．Personal attitude．
D．Reasonable statement．
42．What is suggested in the underlined sentence"Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．"in Paragraph 5？D
A．Never advise an idealistic child to make a grand gesture．
B．Unless a child is realistic，never give any promise．
C．Give an immediate answer if the child is reasonable．
D．Don't respond to a child's demands without consideration．
43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．The Salwens donated a lot to charity though they weren't rich．
B．Unselfishness comes from people's primary satisfaction．
C．Hannah's parents sold their house at Hannah's request．
D．The writer's children asked him to sell their house．
44．What can we learn from the last paragraph？B
A．The Salwens regretted selling their house．
B．The family members got much closer．
C．People living in small houses are happy．
D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house．
45．The best title for the passage should be"D"．
A．The Less，the Better
B．An Expected Satisfaction
C．Something We Can Live Without
D．Somewhat Crazy but Inspiring．
