1-- 20 ACABD BDADD BCDCB DCDAD
1. A。前面說(shuō)“我得到了渴望已久的電動(dòng)車(chē)”，而這里but轉(zhuǎn)折，表示的是“你很難相信為了得到這個(gè)神圣的禮物我所經(jīng)受的痛苦和付出的努力”。
2. C。從上下文來(lái)看，“我”很早就關(guān)注著車(chē)，并通過(guò)看介紹有關(guān)車(chē)的雜志來(lái)了解信息。
3. A。根據(jù)上下文可知，此處說(shuō)的是“我”終于下定決心買(mǎi)輛電動(dòng)車(chē)。make up one’s mind 為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“下決心”。
4. B。前面說(shuō)“下決心買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)”，此處說(shuō)的是作出決定后就立即開(kāi)始行動(dòng)了。set to work 意為“開(kāi)始行動(dòng)起來(lái)”，下文具體寫(xiě)了所做的工作。
5. D。此處說(shuō)的是“我”展開(kāi)的第一項(xiàng)工作，那就是告訴爸爸說(shuō)“我的那輛舊車(chē)的操縱桿失靈了”。Work 是動(dòng)詞，意為“工作，有效”，在這里說(shuō)的是“操縱桿不靈了”。
6. B。從上下文來(lái)看，“我”的第一次工作沒(méi)有成效，反而被爸爸指責(zé)為“我”不會(huì)操作。bad driving 意為“不會(huì)操作，錯(cuò)誤操作”。
7. D。前面“我”是找了舊車(chē)操縱桿失靈這樣一個(gè)借口，從后面的內(nèi)容特別是引號(hào)內(nèi)的話(huà)語(yǔ)可以看出，“我”的下一個(gè)計(jì)劃就更明確、直白了。
8. A。這是“我”力勸爸爸買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)的話(huà)。從 …with controller and battery pack—all for only US$250 及后面的 …miss out on this bargain 等可推測(cè)，此處應(yīng)選用 afford。can / be able to afford… 是常見(jiàn)搭配，意為“省出或找到足夠的時(shí)間或金錢(qián)去(做某事)；……得起”。
9. D。從 …and for US$250 you could buy… 等來(lái)看，爸爸的反應(yīng)確實(shí)是不想買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)。
10. D。根據(jù)上文的 You couldn’t ___ to miss out on this bargain 等可推測(cè)此處應(yīng)填 bargain。
11. B。這里說(shuō)的是爸爸的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。與其買(mǎi)電動(dòng)車(chē)，倒不如買(mǎi)一架像望遠(yuǎn)鏡一樣具有教育意義的東西。something like 意為“像……樣的東西”。
12 C 從 when I’m 97 years old 及后面的 This is my youth 等來(lái)推測(cè)，此處說(shuō)的是“要看月亮，那就等到 97 歲時(shí)住在養(yǎng)老院里看好了”。這是作者對(duì)爸爸提議買(mǎi)望遠(yuǎn)鏡的一句氣話(huà)。
13. D。從前面多次提到買(mǎi)車(chē)被爸爸拒絕，后面又有 …h(huán)ow mean my father was 及后面的 …h(huán)e didn’t ___14___ that I would die… 等來(lái)推測(cè)，此處說(shuō)的是“我”對(duì)爸爸的吝嗇很“惱怒”。
14. C。前面說(shuō)“我”很惱怒，再結(jié)合后面的 …that I would die if I did not get the Pumpkin radio-controlled truck 等推測(cè)，“我”覺(jué)得爸爸才不“在乎”呢！
15. B。根據(jù)on Christmas morning，可知講的是“我”在圣誕節(jié)的早晨醒來(lái)后查看禮物時(shí)發(fā)生的故事。
16. D。按照常例，西方兒童在圣誕節(jié)早晨收到禮物是激動(dòng)和興奮的，可此刻“我”卻興奮不起來(lái)，因?yàn)椤拔摇币?chē)的幻想破滅了。此處用 defeat正好符合“我”當(dāng)時(shí)的心理。
17. C。從前面的 I opened all my presents until there was just one big package… 等可推測(cè)，此處說(shuō)的是“直到還剩下最后一個(gè)包裹”。
18. D。從上下文來(lái)看，此時(shí)只剩下這最后一個(gè)包裹，于是“我”就打開(kāi)包裝，這與后面的看到里面的東西相符合。
19. A。與上面的 I had been defeated 相對(duì)，此處描寫(xiě)的是當(dāng)我得到盼望已久的車(chē)時(shí)高興的心情，“我”終于“贏(yíng)”了。
20. D。前面一直在責(zé)怪爸爸不給“我”買(mǎi)車(chē)，當(dāng)?shù)玫杰?chē)后，“我”高興得覺(jué)得能做任何事情，后面進(jìn)一步說(shuō)“我甚至能在英語(yǔ)課上得 A+”

Zoe Chambers was a successful PR(Public Relations) consultant and life was going well — she had a great job, beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through.” she said. “After everything I’d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn’t feel like looking for another job. I hate everything about the city and my life.”
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later she is still on the farm.
"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."
Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring." she says. "In London 1 was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."
Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."
【小題1】When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ______life.
| A．satisfying | B．tough | C．meaningless | D．boring |

Nicole Delian, 17, suffers from a condition that makes her sleep up to 19 hours a day and as much as 64 days in a row． Nicole Delian is tired of sleeping．
This 17-year-old teenager from North Fayette, Pa．, has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin Syndrome -- or "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" -- that makes her sleep 18 to 19 hours a day．
And when she does wake up, she is often so tired out that she is in a sleepwalking state and doesn't remember doing basic things like eating, according to KDKA-TV．
Nicole's sleepwalking state has been so severe that she once slept through the holidays, awaking one day in January when she finally opened Christmas gifts alongside her family, according to ChartiersValley．Patch．com． ．
"She's never really adjusted to it," her mother, Vicki Delien told the website． "She's 17 now and it really upsets her． She's missed out on a lot．"
Delien told talk show host Jeff Probst that the teen has at times slept 32 to 64 days in a row, waking only in sleepwalking mode to eat．
Kleine-Levin Syndrome is incredibly rare, only affecting about l,000 people worldwide, and very hard to diagnose．
In Nicole's' case, it took 25 months for doctors to diagnose her, according to ChartiersValley．Patch．com, and everything from a virus, to epilepsy（癲癇） to West Nile was mentioned, including, unfortunately, the possibility she was faking it for attention．．
When a typical episode of Sleeping Beauty Syndrome begins, the patient becomes progressively drowsy（昏昏欲睡的） and sleeps for most of the day and night, waking only to eat or go to the bathroom, according to the Klein-Levin Syndrome Foundation website． "When awake, the patient's whole behavior is changed, often appearing “stupid" or childlike． When awake he experiences confusion, complete lack of energy, and lack of emotions．"
Patients also report that everything seems out of focus, and that they are hypersensitive to noise and light． Some patients also have intense food cravings（渴望）．
The Delians did not say whether Nicole has experienced these symptoms．
There is no known cure, but Nicole's family is using a combination of epilepsy and narcolepsy（發(fā)作性嗜睡�。﹎edication to minimize the incidents to just two a year．
【小題1】What's the reflection of Nicole's sleepwalking state?
