小題1:A。根據(jù)21空后的 “waiting for the final school bell.” 可知，此處描寫學(xué)生對(duì)圣誕節(jié)的期盼心情。anxious(wanting very much)“渴望、焦慮”；courageous“勇敢的、無畏的”；serious“嚴(yán)重的、嚴(yán)肅的、當(dāng)真的”；cautious“謹(jǐn)慎的”。
小題1:B。upon its ringing="when" it(the bell) rang意為：放學(xué)鈴聲一響，學(xué)生們就會(huì)習(xí)慣性地?fù)砣ツ蒙献约旱囊路丶摇arn“警告”；call“命名、打電話、大聲呼叫、訪問等”；yell“吼叫、叫喊”。
小題1:B。語(yǔ)境中指作者想弄明白David的家庭背景情況。scold“訓(xùn)斥、責(zé)罵”；realize“意識(shí)到、實(shí)現(xiàn)”；learn“學(xué)習(xí)、獲悉、熟記”。
小題1:D。此空填入的詞應(yīng)與第二段第一句話 “David was a small boy in ragged clothes.”中的“ragged”保持一致，ragged="old" and torn“破舊的”；inappropriately“不合適地”；modestly“謙虛地、（尤指婦女或其衣著）莊重、樸素地”；naturally“自然地、合理地、天然地”；inaccurately“不精確地”。作者一直想知道究竟是一個(gè)什么樣的母親竟會(huì)讓孩子穿著破舊的衣服冒著嚴(yán)寒去上學(xué)？意指孩子在寒冷的冬季穿著破舊的衣物去上學(xué)是不合適的.
小題1:C。下文的實(shí)例側(cè)重表明了David的與眾不同及特別。popular“受歡迎的、通俗的、流行的”；upset“難過的、沮喪的”；funny“滑稽的、奇怪的、非法的”。

小題1: A。would指過去存在的某種習(xí)慣或傾向，譯為“總是、老是”。例：When my parents were away, my grandmother would take care of me. 我父母外出時(shí)候，總是祖母照顧我。其余選項(xiàng)均無此意。
小題1:D。head for“前往（某地）”，此處指回家；aim at“以…為目的、打算、希望”；turn to“查閱、找（某人尋求幫助）、變成”；put off“推遲”。
小題1:B。這里表示圣誕節(jié)臨近學(xué)生表現(xiàn)出的興奮，填入的詞在語(yǔ)意上應(yīng)與本句中的 “restlessness”(坐立不安、躁動(dòng))保持一致, 故為excitement。argument“爭(zhēng)論、辯論、論據(jù)”；movement“運(yùn)動(dòng)、移動(dòng)”；judgment“判斷力、評(píng)價(jià)、判決”。
小題1: A。此處指圣誕節(jié)引發(fā)的學(xué)生躁動(dòng)情緒會(huì)持續(xù)到學(xué)校放假的前一天，故為…until the last day of school before the holiday break. program“計(jì)劃、方案、節(jié)目、程序、課程等”。
小題1: A。句意為：當(dāng)最后一個(gè)學(xué)生離開教室時(shí)，我露出輕松的微笑。relief: the feeling of happiness that you have when sth. unpleasant stops or does not happen，譯為“輕松、寬慰”；in return“作為報(bào)答、回過來”；in vain“徒勞、白費(fèi)”；in control“控制著、處于統(tǒng)治地位”。
小題1:C。quietly表示David的行為與其他急于離校享受圣誕節(jié)的學(xué)生形成鮮明對(duì)比。小題1:D。該句子結(jié)構(gòu)可調(diào)整為：He pulled a small box from his back. 他從身后拿出一個(gè)小盒子。search“搜尋、搜索、查找”；find“發(fā)現(xiàn)、找到、查明”；raise“舉起、提升、增加、籌募、養(yǎng)育、飼養(yǎng)等”。
小題1:B。此處指過去發(fā)生的一連串動(dòng)作，即：遞盒子給我(handed it to me) ─ 接過盒子(took it) ─ 致謝(thanked him) ─ 打開盒子(unwrapped it)。
小題1:D。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，當(dāng)打開蓋子發(fā)現(xiàn)是一個(gè)空盒子時(shí)，作者感到非常驚訝。delight“高興、愉快、樂事”；expectation“預(yù)期、期待、盼望”；appreciation“欣賞、理解、感激”。
小題1:B。根據(jù)文章最后一句話中的描述 “…the little empty box set on my desk.”可知答案
小題1:A。as在句中引出時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，表示“當(dāng)…時(shí)”。
小題1:C。此處表明以前我對(duì)David的關(guān)注太少，與文章第二段中的描述 “We never talked much.”相吻合。command“命令、控制”。
小題1:B。behind在句中意為“隱藏在….后面”。句意為：我永遠(yuǎn)忘不了擺放在我辦公桌上那個(gè)小盒子背后隱藏著的深刻意義。

Impossible cases are not forever. While it is impossible for one person, it is possible for another. In a word, everything is possible.
Someone says, "Success belongs to those who can look at the complex challenges offered by the world as inspiration." So your challenges are golden opportunities for success. How can there be miracles if there are no obstacles? How will you chase the storm if there is no storm? You need challenges to reveal your ability. Success doesn’t come out’ of nothing; success comes from the problems you face. Those who refuse to give in
come out smiling.
Robert X. Perez says, "The seeds of success spring from failure’s ashes. "Failure is not defeat; it is the pointer to do better than what you just did. You have to know that you are in a constant study of life. What you face is for your training. Samuel Aidoo says, "Each failure is simply another chapter in the story of our lives. To fail is to understand what not to do. Remember it and don’t give up until your goal is achieved."
What do you do when you face difficulty? Yeah, life is difficult, but you do not give up.
Have a positive and calm outlook on your circumstances (狀況) and make the best of them. You may learn something new. You can develop mental toughness. Mental toughness means to be able to see the long-term gains rather than be put off by short-term pains. Once you have this toughness, you have the winning edge(優(yōu)勢(shì)).
The only things in life you ever really regret are the chances you didn’t take. You will regret when you see the consequences of not seizing the opportunities when they arose. Take chances every day!
小題1: The main point of the passage is that_________.
A．success comes out of nothing

A．a(chǎn)ll people can achieve success if they keep learning
B．failure means great success to everyone in the future
C．most people end up with failure because it often happens

I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.
I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.
I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor's front porches (門廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.
My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.
This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply: Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.
The Thank You card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”
I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.
小題1:How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?
A．9.B．8C．10D．11
小題2:Where did the friendly lady live?
A．She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.
B．Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.
C．She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.
D．The author was not sure about her address at all.
小題3:How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?
A．They liked the gifts very much and were thankful.
B．They were thankful that they wanted to be friends.
C．They all made phone calls to say “Thank You”.
D．They all visited him by person to show gratitude.
小題4:What does the author mean in the last paragraph?
A．He was regretful that the nice lady didn’t receive his gift.
B．He was glad to have made Mr. Kelly's life more pleasant.
C．He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.
D．The old lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.

On a cold evening I was waiting for a taxi in New York. About 5 minutes later, I was picked up by a driver, and he said how terrible some people were. I knew there was a part of me that wanted to be silent, but I had to listen out of kindness.
The man told me that he had just come from JFK Airport without a customer. Over the courses of that taxi ride, what started as anger changed slowly and he mentioned that he had read an article which said that the happiest people are the ones that give, so he hoped he’d have more chance to give in his life. I was really starting to enjoy being with this man.
As we arrived at the place where I wanted to go, I paid my money by credit card. I pulled out an extra $20 and said, “Sir, since we’ve been talking about giving this whole time, I want to share that feeling with you. I’ve already paid my money, but here’s an extra little bit. You can tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another.”
I thought I was pretty cool at this point, but he turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Sir, I have a better idea. You give that $20 to a homeless person around here and I will give the next passenger a free ride myself.
It was a great honor meeting that man and learning the lesson of how everyone gives and adds joy to another with their generosity.
小題1:According to the text, when the author got in the taxi, the driver was    .
A．a(chǎn)ngryB．nervousC．worriedD．regretful
小題2: The author gave the driver an extra $20 in order to    _.

A．A driver should be willing to help.B．People should understand each other.
C．The driver was deeply moved.
D．One needs to keep an optimistic attitude (樂觀態(tài)度).
小題4:What would be the best title for the text?

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each agc gives him without wasting any time in uselcss regrets.
Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.
When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady pro-gress in his job and of building up his own position in society.
Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and tile ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.
小題1:The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.
A．both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages
B．both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward
C．the human beings should be like this
D．they don’t think both ages are acceptable
小題2:“Enjoy what each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______. 
A．Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets
B．Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time
C．Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements
D．Enjoy his own age and took down on the people at other ages
小題3:“Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard” means “______”. 
A．Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life
B．All the children won’t have to work for their own living
C．Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading
D．A child bas few duties to try hard to make a living for himself or for his seniors
小題4: According to the passage, what is a child’s greatest dissatisfaction? 
A．He thinks he has not got the equal freedom as his seniors.
B．He thinks he knows less about things than the older do.
C．He thinks it easy for him to do something wrong.
D．He thinks the society doesn’t believe in him.

Just for my kids, I had to continue to live and work as a small town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids：“ I'm going to Afghanistan.”And a few weeks later, International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs ，we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule.Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami (海嘯), Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees,_and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventure or not？”I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was gone. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I thought about the moment many times during my“adventures”. I didn't know how predictive those words would be，but I knew that she was still with me.
