Joe had a big  38  in his shop, but he tried not to buy too  39  meat at a time, and to  40  it before he bought more.
One  41  a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, “but some friends have just telephoned to say that they are coming to  42  tonight, and I need more  43 .”
Joe only had one piece of meat in the shop. He had sold all the others  44  in the day. He took the piece  45  and said to the woman, “This is 6.5 pounds.”
“That piece is too  46 .” the woman said. “Haven’t you got anything bigger?”
Joe went  47  the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out  48  and shut the door of the refrigerator  49 , then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, “This piece is bigger and more expensive. It’s 8.75 pounds.”

小題1:C考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。此處live生活，居住；study學(xué)習(xí)； work工作； play玩耍。Joe Biggs是一名屠夫，他和父親在肉店一起工作（work）了想當(dāng)年。根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境選C。
小題2:B考查副詞詞義辨析。此處more更多；harder 更加努力；later后來(lái)；again再一次。父親65歲后就不在肉店工作了，就只剩下Joe一個(gè)人，所以他必須更加努力（harder）地工作。故選B。
小題3:A考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。此處shut 關(guān)門； starte開(kāi)始；open開(kāi)門；serve服務(wù)。根據(jù)文意可知，他一周工作5天半，周日關(guān)門，周六最忙，所以只能是周四1點(diǎn)鐘開(kāi)始關(guān)門，半天不營(yíng)業(yè)。故選A。
小題4:D考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處hardest最難；easiest 最簡(jiǎn)單；quietest最安靜；busiest最繁忙。根據(jù)文意可知，周日不營(yíng)業(yè)，所以周六最繁忙（busiest）。故選D。
小題5:B考查名詞詞義辨析。此處customers客戶； meat肉；buyers 買者； friends朋友。Joe肉店里的肉（meat）是從最近的城鎮(zhèn)買來(lái)的。故選A。
小題6:C考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。此處walk步行；flew 乘飛機(jī)；drove開(kāi)車；. ran跑。根據(jù)文意，他步行、跑著和乘飛機(jī)買肉，都不符合邏輯，所以開(kāi)車去買肉。故選C。
小題7:D考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處easier較簡(jiǎn)單的；fresher較新鮮的；nearer較近的； cheaper較便宜的。根據(jù)文意，他早上很早就開(kāi)車進(jìn)城買肉，就是為了買便宜的。本題易誤選B，合格的肉都應(yīng)該是新鮮的，所以B錯(cuò)誤。
小題8:A考查名詞詞義辨析。此處refrigerator冰箱；room 房間； kitchen廚房；cupboard櫥柜。根據(jù)文意可知，他的肉店應(yīng)該有一個(gè)大的冰箱，以防肉變壞。故選A。
小題9:A考查副詞詞義辨析。此處much 多； expensive 貴；fresh新鮮；adequate充裕的。根據(jù)文意可知，他有一個(gè)大的冰箱，所以他一次不買太多（too much）的肉，賣完之后再買新肉。故選A。
小題10:C考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。此處eat 吃；cook 烹調(diào)；sell賣；freeze冷凍。根據(jù)文意可知，他有一個(gè)大的冰箱，所以他一次不買太多的肉，賣（sell）完之后再買新肉。故選C。

小題13:C考查名詞詞義辨析。此處food 食物；vegetable 蔬菜；meat 肉；fruit水果。根據(jù)文意可知，有幾個(gè)朋友打電話說(shuō)，他們今晚要來(lái)吃飯，我需要更多的肉。肉店里自然賣的是肉，故選C。
小題14:B考查副詞的用法。此處later 后來(lái)；earlier早些時(shí)候；quicker更快的；cheaper更便宜的。Joe只有一塊肉了，這天的早些時(shí)候把其他的肉都買了。根據(jù)句意選B。

Until a few months ago, he was a butler(管家) in one of the more expensive residential buildings in Manhattan. But now, Nepal-born Indra Tamang is the owner of two multi-million dollar apartments in the same building.
The former owner - his former employer, Ruth Ford - died last year and left the apartments  to Mr Tamang in her will.
Mr Tamang is happy but quickly points out that his good fortune did not come easily. "I am happy and have been touched by the generosity of the Ford family," he says. "I never expected that I will be given the ownership of these apartments. But I have been working for the family for the last 36 years, devotedly, with honesty and dedication(奉獻(xiàn)). So my hard work has been rewarded."
Mr Tamang was 21 when he was brought from Nepal by Charles Ford, a writer and a photographer. Mr Ford died in 2002; his sister, actress Ruth Ford, then took charge and told Mr Tamang that he was like a brother to her after Charles's death.
Mrs Ford died aged 98. During the last five years of her life, she lost her eyesight and also developed speech problems. Mr Tamang looked after her most of the time and took care of her medicines and food.
He also worked with Charles Ford on various photography projects, which he now wants to keep as the photographer's legacy(遺產(chǎn)). He hopes to organize exhibitions of Mr Ford's photographs and edit a book of his works.
Mr Tamang plans to sell the bigger, three-bedroom apartment to pay the taxes he owes to the government on his legacy. He says: "The rules of the building might be a problem, as they require a minimum monthly income to qualify to live as owner of apartments. I have my small house here but I am happy with it,"
Mr Tamang has learnt his lesson from the life of his employers and plans to use his money with great caution. "I think one should save money for old age. That's when you need it the most to get care," he says. 
小題1:Mr Tamang treated the legacy as __________.
A．a(chǎn) rewardB．a(chǎn) punishmentC．businessD．a(chǎn) gift
小題2:What DIDN’T Mr Tamang do in the Ford family?
A．Show Mr Ford's works in the exhibition.
B．Look after Ruth Ford when she was ill.
C．Work on kinds of photography projects
D．Experience deaths of Charles Ford and Ruth Ford
小題3:Mr Tamang wants to sell one apartment to _______. 
A．buy the small house
B．pay the government the tax of the apartments
C．edit a book of Charles Ford's photographs
D．move into the expensive apartments as soon as possible
小題4:What lesson does Mr Tamang learn from the Ford family? 
A．To find a good butler.
B．To spend money thoughtfully.
C．To save money for children.
D．To get good care when people get old.
小題5:What can we know from the passage?
A．Charles Ford gave the apartments to Mr Tamang.
B．Charles Ford couldn't see or speak before his death.
C．Mr Tamang treated Ruth Ford much better than her brother.
D．Mr Tamang will still live in his small house in the near future.

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (擲) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
小題1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A．Controversial.B．Ridiculous.
C．Boring.D．Puzzling.
小題2:Why was the author confused about the task?
A．He was unfamiliar with American history.
B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
D．He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task.
小題3:The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.
A．a(chǎn)nnoyedB．a(chǎn)shamed
C．readyD．eager
小題4:In the end, the author turned things around _______.
A．by redoing his task
B．through his own efforts
C．with the help of his grandfather
D．under the guidance of his headmaster

One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.
This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.

Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man  36  to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(氣喘吁吁) along, the team was  37 . The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will 38  keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he 39  finally run no more. He stopped in  40 . One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped. 41  told us we had to keep running  42 the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them.

Set your standards too low, and you will know only  52 . But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and  53 life. For only when you  54  the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living. Just as an old saying goes: “Think big 55 , and win big success.”

It was the first snow of winter – an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（連指手套）?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
小題1:The little girl was more satisfied with her__________-.

小題2:Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl’s second boot mainly because_____.
