I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to  51 the problem. It certainly wasn’t  52 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled  53 from behind me. A man got out and offered to  54 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（紋身）on his arm, I became  55 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But  56 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the  57 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had  58 me.
Then, without  59 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I  60 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much  61 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my  62 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you  63 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he  64 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he  65 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they  66 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my  67 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same  68 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I  69 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a  70 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

語篇解讀：作者的車在途中癟胎，一名陌生的男子主動提供幫助。他的外貌讓作者提心吊膽，后來作者才發(fā)覺對方并無惡意，而且他還幫作者換好了輪胎，作者深深為自己以貌取人的做法感到羞愧。
小題1:考查動詞。上一句提到車胎癟了，所以作者不得不停下來用工具解決這個問題。此處fix表示“修理”。
小題2:考查形容詞。作者穿著白色的襯衣和套裝，處理這樣的問題當然不“容易”。
小題3:考查副詞。突然一輛車在作者身后停了下來。此處pull up表示“(使車)停下”。
小題4:考查動詞。一名男子從車里走出來，主動“幫助”作者。7空后面的內(nèi)容是線索提示。
小題5:考查形容詞。作者看到他那令人討厭的外貌和胳膊上的文身后，腦海中閃現(xiàn)出打劫的場景，開始“害怕”起來。A項表示“氣餒的”，C項表示“失望的”，D項表示“吃驚的”，均不符合語境。
小題6:考查連詞。作者還“沒有來得及”說任何話，他已經(jīng)開始接過工具忙碌起來。before表示“在……之前”。
小題7:考查名詞。 文章開頭部分提到作者的車胎癟了，所以那位男子是在更換“車胎”。
小題8:考查形容詞。作者看到男子的第一反應是搶劫，此時又注意到車中還坐著另外一個人，自然感到非常“擔心”。此處concern 表示“讓(某人)擔憂”。
小題9:考查動詞。隨后，沒有任何“先兆”，天開始下雨。warning“先兆”。
小題10:考查副詞。 根據(jù)作者見到這名男子后的反應可推測作者“不情愿地”同意了對方的建議。
小題11:考查名詞。作者原以為會遭遇搶劫，想不到車中坐的是一位老太太，因此感到非�！皩捨俊�。
小題12:考查名詞。上一句提到作者猜想這位老太太一定是男子的媽媽，此處指出她是男子的鄰居，由此可知作者感到非常“驚訝”。
小題13:考查動詞。老太太告訴作者當Jeff看到作者“吃力地”修理車胎時，就堅持要停下來。struggle“吃力地進行”。
小題14:考查動詞。根據(jù)上一句中的內(nèi)容可推測男子是“自愿”在教堂從事義務勞動。另外，本句后半部分提到的他對貧困學生的幫助也是線索提示。
小題15:考查動詞。上一段的后半部分提到他免費幫助老太太，還經(jīng)常做義務服務，由此可知他理所當然地“拒絕”了作者給他的酬勞。
小題16:考查動詞。第二段的前半部分提到作者是在看到他的外貌和胳膊上的文身后才聯(lián)想到了搶劫，所以此處是為自己以“貌”取人感到羞愧。
小題17:考查名詞。作者根據(jù)Jeff的外貌判斷他是想搶劫，想不到對方是在真心幫助自己，所以作者為自己的“愚蠢”道歉。
小題18:考查名詞。作者見到男子的第一想法是搶劫，由此可知男子經(jīng)常經(jīng)歷同樣的“反應”。
小題19:考查副詞。男子說外貌看起來像他那樣的人不做好事，他“實際上”考慮過改變這種形象。
小題20:考查名詞。由下文男子留給人們的問題可知男子把這看做是一次證明一種看法的機會，此處point表示“看法，觀點”。

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.
They showed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” showed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Channel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.
Supporters(支持者) of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens and wilderness. H. G. Well’s “moon people” would agree. Would you?
小題1:The explorers in H. G. Well’s story were surprised to find that the “moon people” ______.
A．knew so much about the earth
B．understood their language
C．lived in so many underground cities
D．were ahead of them in space technology
小題2:What does the underlined word  (paragraph 3) “it” refer to?
A．Discovering the moon’s inner space.
B．Using the earth’s inner space.
C．Meeting the “moon people” again.
D．Traveling to outer space.
小題3:What kind of underground system are already here with us?
A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C．Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D．Tunnels, gardens, offices.
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?
A．Alice Cities—cities of the future.
B．Space travel with H. G. Wells.
C．Enjoy living underground.
D．Building down, not up.

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
小題1:What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?
A．It must appear in time.
B．It must be done in class.
C．It must be done on a construction sheet.
D．It must include the words on the blackboard.
小題2:The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A．formed an idea for
B．made an outline for
C．made some space for
D．chose some colors for
小題3:After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class________.
A．looked very serious
B．thought they would be rich
C．began to think about their designs
D．began to play games
小題4:After seeing the good students’ designs, some students________.
A．loved their own designs more
B．thought they had a fair chance
C．put their own designs in a corner
D．thought they would not win the prize
小題5:We can infer from the passage that the author________.
A．enjoyed grown up tricks very much
B．loved poster competitions very much
C．felt surprised to win the competition
D．became wise and rich after the competition

Without any hesitation, he said, “I’d be better off dead.” Hearing those words come out of my best friend’s mouth tore my heart apart. He has repeated that phrase more than once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording.
I met him about three years ago. After knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. Sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; I was shocked. He seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. I soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts.
He refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. Nevertheless, he feels as if I understand him and that I know the right words to speak. Therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. It does not matter where I am or what I am doing, for he always comes first.
Many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. As he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. But no one holds such a right, so I encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. When he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, I always remind him that I care about him unconditionally. Just hearing me say I will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.
My best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. He said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. Our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someone’s life. With the fragility of life as it is, I believe in the necessity of encouragement.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, what the author’s friend said made the author feel ______.
A．puzzledB．heartbroken.C．frightenedD．hopeless
小題2:By saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means ______.
A．he is always ready to help his friend.
B．he hardly spares time to help his friend.
C．he has no good excuse for refusing his friend.
D．he is not good at communicating with his friend.
小題3:From the passage we learn that the author’s friend ________.
A．had a happy childhood but everything changed later
B．wanted to share his story but no one listened.
C．took it for granted that he was made fun of
D．was always of sad appearance
小題4:What does the author learn from his experiences?
A．How to make a big difference to others.
B．The importance of encouragement.
C．How to get rid of depression

Cyberspace, the connections between computers in different places, considered as a real place where information, messages and pictures exist, mirrors the real world in many ways. People ask for information, play games, and share hobbies. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis(強調,重視) on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat? But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships state that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way. But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal” (非言語交際的)communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably(不可避免地) leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real person. So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
小題1:According to the passage, chatting in the cyberspace ________.     
A．puts emphasis on people’s thoughts
B．needs people to be rich in knowledge
C．stresses more about people’s identity
D．a(chǎn)llows people to discuss politics secretly
小題2:People who are against online love think ________.      
A．what is said online is under control of the Internet
B．it is hard to protect the other’s identity
C．the faceless communication is exciting
D．one may not show the real self in cyberspace
小題3:By saying “With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination ‘fill in the blanks’”, the writer means that ________.
A．the Internet allows people to get more information about their loved ones
B．the Internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view them
C．people usually get to know each other by chance through the Internet
D．people may be disappointed when they meet in person
小題4:We can infer from the last paragraph that Clifford________.
A．supports to look for love in the real life
B．demands to develop the computer system
C．encourages people to enjoy modern life
D．believes it hopeless to find love online
小題5:What’s the attitude of the author?
A. Subjective      B.Objective       C Positive     D.Negative
