2．Dear Abby，
I am a very  conservative woman．I don't drink，dance，wear makeups or pants．I enjoy the company of friends despite（盡管）our differences and thought they enjoyed mine．
On our most recent outing，however，they laughed at my religious jewelry，commented on my"lack of fashion，"and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late．
Despite this，they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat．I don't bring up their being overweight，or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly．I don't criticize them for sleeping around．I wish they would accept me for who I am．
I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask，but I don't really want it to come to that．Any suggestions？
-Just an Old-Fashioned Girl
       
Dear Old-Fashioned Girl，
Just this：It's time for you to start cultivating relationships with people whose values are more like your own．The friends you have described may be lovely，but their comments were out of line and folks are known by the company they keep．If you spend a lot of time with the women you have described，people will begin to make assumptions（臆斷） about you．
-Abby

60．The underlined word"conservative"is closest in meaning toB．
A．beautiful
B．old-fashioned
C．overweight
D．ordinary-looking
61．When did Old-fashioned Girl feel guilty？C
A．When her friends stayed out late．
B．When she stayed out late with her friends．
C．When she refused her friends'request to stay out late．
D．When her friends refused her to stay out late with them．
62．Which of the following could Old-fashioned Girl most possibly agree to？C
A．It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend．
B．Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty．
C．The friend is the one who knows all about you，and still likes you．
D．True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable．
63．According to Abby，it's a good idea for Old-fashioned Girl toD．
A．talk with her friends
B．understand her friends
C．forgive her friends
D．break up with her friends．

分析 本文主要講述了一個保守的女孩在交朋友的過程中遇到了困難，她寫信向艾比尋求建議．艾比認為這個保守女孩所描述的朋友不值得她去交往，她應該與這樣的朋友決裂．

解答 60．B詞義猜測題．根據(jù)第一段I don't drink，dance，wear makeups or pants．可知這個女孩不喝酒，不跳舞，不化妝或不穿短褲．所以她是一個保守的人．由此推知，"conservative"的意思是"保守的，守舊的"．故選B．
61．C細節(jié)推理題．根據(jù)第二段On our most recent outing，however，they laughed at my religious jewelry，commented on my"lack of fashion，"and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late．可知這個女孩在和朋友一塊郊游時，她拒絕在外面待到很晚，這讓她感到很愧疚．故選C．
62．C細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段I enjoy the company of friends despite（盡管）our differences and thought they enjoyed mine．和第三段I wish they would accept me for who I am．可知這個保守的女孩認為朋友是一個知道你的全部，仍然喜歡你的人．故選C．
63．D理解推斷題．根據(jù)最后一段The friends you have described may be lovely，but their comments were out of line and folks are known by the company they keep．If you spend a lot of time with the women you have described，people will begin to make assumptions（臆斷） about you．可知艾比認為這個保守女孩所描述的朋友不值得她去交往，她應該與這樣的朋友決裂．故選D．

點評 本文考察學生的理解推斷能力以及細心程度，只要抓住文章的關鍵詞，采用尋讀的方法查找細節(jié)，就能找到正確答案．

12．There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me："Is there anything I can do for you？"and"How's the car？"I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad （an air force officer） was never really there for him，and he's determined to provide me with the support he lacked．During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game．In fact，he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less．But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks，cheering me on，expecting greatness．
His other standard question-How's the car？-used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state．What I now realize is that"How's the car？"is not about the car．It's a father's way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing．The advantage is that if there's something wrong with the car，he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost，whereas if you're having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice，he might have to put Mom on the line．
At age thirty I finally took the plunge （跳進） into adulthood by renting a car without my dad's help or advice．I'm sure my dad was hurt rather than proud．Though a daughter's independence is evidence of a job well done，it still implies the job's done，and many fathers are reluctant to retire．Even when my dad was overworked，he'd happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help．His frequent question"Is there anything I can do for you？"underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide．It's interesting：even though we're tied by blood and I love him no matter what，he still seems to need a concrete function-suggesting stocks，finding the cheapest plane fare-to feel he has a role in my life．

21．The author's father always showed up in his daughter's school activities toB．
A．show his own lack of fatherly love    B．support her in all possible ways
C．guarantee she would perform well      D．watch them out of his own curiosity
22．The author has learned that by asking"How is the car？"，her father is actuallyC．
A．reminding her not to waste money
B．a(chǎn)sking his daughter if the car breaks down or not
C．a(chǎn)sking how his daughter is getting along
D．expressing his concern for her daughter's safety
23．According to the author，her father is unwilling to retire probably becauseD．
A．he is doubtful of her independence    
B．he wants to continue to earn money
C．he is afraid of losing connection with her
D．he won't put an end to caring for her
24．We can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the author's eye her fatherA．
A．has the deepest love for his daughter
B．has a strong passion for his work
C．has great interest in his daughter's car
D．has too much control over his daughter．

17．I'm a 20-year-old boy，and the following is my story．
     A month after I graduated from high school in August，2007，I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident．I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital．
     I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn't open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around．At that time，it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries．Just like my body，my dreams were completely destroyed．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams．
     After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions，I had to make every great effort to learn to talk，eat，walk，shower，and live on my own again．When I was out Of hospital，I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf，Maryland．After I spent a few months in a wheelchair，I took baby steps to walk on my own．It was a miracle that I was able to walk again，but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk，but also run．When it came true，I wanted to get back into the pool again．After having a few lung tests，I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week．After a few months of Swim training，I began my freshman year at St．Mary's College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team．
     By telling my story，I want to make a positive influence on the world．I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them．I remember when I was still in my hospital bed，I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members．I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay．Somehow，things would work out for the best．

11．He looked like a pirate．
With his handkerchief tied in a knot behind his little nine-year-old head，he looked like a pirate，a sad pirate．The first time little David came to our camp，he was hairless and worn out from medical treatments．He was also very angry．
Paul Newman's camp counselors （指導老師 ） were hoping to fill David's days with fun and laughter．But David stayed inside himself，wanting to be alone，or in a corner of the cabin．At this camp for children with life-threatening illnesses，we had seen some pretty tough children worn out by cancer recover full of energy despite their illness．But we saw little progress in David no matter what we tried with him．Five days into the eight-day session saw a quiet，sad little pirate．
Then something happened on that fifth night．Something at camp that we would call"huge"．
It was cabin night．That's the time when campers and counselors spend lime together in each individual cabin instead of an all-camp activity．Campers love cabin nights because there's always a bedtime snack．On the cabin table that night were bags of potato chips．
David slowly walked over to the table，leaving his comer to join the rest of us．He took one of the bags of the potato chips and started smashing（弄碎） it with his little fists，as all the other campers looked on in disbelief，I wondered what the cabin counselor would do．
The college-age volunteer counselor positioned a bag of chips on die table in front of himself，and he，too，started smashing it with his fist．The campers went crazy as everyone ran to the table to get in on the fun of smashing potato chips with their fists．
Somehow everyone knew，everyone sensed，that anger within him was now being released．
For the last couple days of the session，David was a different kid．He was a little nine-year-old boy again，trying to fill the hours of each remaining day at camp with as much fun as could be possible．
Several days after the session，David came back again．This time，there wasn't anything he wouldn't try to fit in to his day．He sure was having a great time at camp．David asked me if I needed an altar（祭壇）boy when I celebrated Mass in the woods．Sure enough，he was my altar boy．I remembered how carefully he listened to me when I talked about death.1said it's only a doorway．You walk through the door and there's the Lord God and behind God a whole line of people waiting to hug you．
After Mass，he said to me，"Hey Fatha，a door，huh？"
A couple more days of fun passed and tonight was the talent show．The tradition is that campers and counselors dress up in costumes，and everyone gets a standing applause for singing and dancing or simply just acting like fools on stage．
The show had begun：lights，camera，action．
Unfortunately，the only action taking place in our row of seats was little David making his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp．He had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis．
When this little nine-year-old pirate stood in front of me，he gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek.1was crying．He was crying．A whole row of counselors was in tears．After the hug and kiss，he put his hands on my shoulders，and tears still in his eyes，said："See you on the other side of the door，F(xiàn)atha．"

66．The camp counselors failed to fill David's beginning days with fun and laughter，mainly because DavidB．
A．behaved like a pirate
B．remained in a bad mood
C．was left alone at the camp
D．was teased by other campers
67．Seeing David smashing the potato chips，the counselor did the same thing in response because heC．
A．would like David to eat more of them
B．hoped all the other campers would join
C．found it possible to help David release anger
D．wanted to show that he was as angry as David
68．What can we learn from this article？B
A．The camp was intended for those talented in singing and dancing．
B．The purpose of the camp was to give diseased children caring love．
C．The camp was popular among the children who enjoyed their vacation here．
D．Medical treatment could be provided to diseased children at the camp．
69．Which of the following does NOT show the change in David？B
A．David came back to the camp for a second session after the first ended．
B．David had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis．
C．David made his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp．
D．David stood in front of me and gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek．
70．What do you think the theme of the story is？D
A．Children with deadly diseases are usually difficult to get along with．
B．People should have patience with children with life-threatening illnesses．
C．People should tell children with life-threatening illnesses to care nothing about death．
D．Love and proper guidance can help people look at something negative in a positive way．

12．I stayed for a while in Costa Rica years ago．One morning I was shopping in a local farmers mar-ket．I loved that market．The selection of produce was exceptional!
    I had parked my car a few blocks away at Firestone．An hour into my shopping，I reached in my purse for my phone．I dug around searching and searching…no phone!
    I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper（拉鏈） was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands．
    I went around to all the venders （攤主） I had visited asking if they had come across a lost iPhone．
But no such luck．
    Disappointed，I walked out of the market with all my fresh organic produce．In front of me was an older lady walking slowly with a heavy bag in each hand．I observed many people passing her．At first I thought of doing the same，as I was worried about my phone．But then I heard a voice in my heart say-ing"help her"．
        In Spanish，I asked the old lady if I could give her a hand．She gladly handed me a bag and we walked on．She was probably in her late 70s and the bag I took from her was full of produce．She asked about my family and my job．My Sparush was far from perfect．I tried to explain to her but I was not sure whether she understood．
    As we came to a street comer，we had to walk in opposite directions．My mind wondered for a mo-ment and then I decided to go on helping the lady．I saw a warm smile of gratefulness on her face，
which also warmed my own heart．
    After a few more blocks we came to her destination．I couldn't imagine her walking so far with two heavy bags all alone!
     I walked all the way back to my car at Firestone．I unlocked my door and sitting between the seats right in view was my iPhone!

B．When she was paying for her produce．
C．After she had parked her car at Firestone．
D．When she was walking into the market．
