這是一篇趣味性記敘文。作者通過一件小事描寫了祖母和祖父的兩個截然不同的處理方法以及祖父的幽默：在作者報復(fù)了祖母以后，祖父說“Eric，你幫我出氣了”。
26. B前文說她邀請了一些親戚朋友到公寓里聚會。此處表示：在這些客人中。
27. A因家里有錢以及下文的“習(xí)慣于我行我素”可知他們的小女兒被寵得非常嬌氣，脾氣很蠻橫。Spoil表示“寵壞，溺愛”。
28.D這里表示祖母認為他們是最重要的客人，極力討好他們。
29. A晚會進行中，我走進了洗手間并隨手把門關(guān)上。這里用make one’s way to表示向…走去。而其他動詞的含義不符合語境：B找到去…的路，C擠出一條路，D蜿蜒前進。
30. B由and simply walked in可知那個小女孩推開洗手間的門進來了。
31. C從語境可知這里用be supposed to表示should理應(yīng)做……；應(yīng)該做……。句意為：“難道你不知道當(dāng)一個男孩在使用洗手間的時候女孩子是不可以進來的嗎�。�
32. D從上文內(nèi)容可知作者這個時候很生氣。
33. A本題用動詞complain表示“投訴”，歷來我行我素的女孩出來沒有被人這么呵斥過，她哭著向她的父母和我奶奶告狀。
34. B當(dāng)我從洗手間出來，祖母劈頭蓋臉地把我罵了一通。
35. C等她罵完叫我滾開之后，晚會繼續(xù)進行。這里用carry on表示“繼續(xù)”。
36. D從下文可知祖母發(fā)現(xiàn)有水從洗手間的門縫里涌出來。
37. A撞開洗手間的門，發(fā)現(xiàn)洗手盆和浴缸都被塞子塞住了。
38. B這里用過去進行時表示祖母進去的時候看見水正水正嘩啦啦地直流。
39.C每個人都知道是誰搞的鬼，憤怒的祖母使勁地揮舞著雙手要打我，客人們馬上在我周圍形成了一堵人墻保護我。這里用protective表示“保護性的”。
40. A此處是so…that 句型，表示“如此憤怒，（盡管有人墻保護）差點打了我”。
41. B祖父牽著我的手來到窗前。表示牽著/抓著某人的手用介詞by +the +身體某部位。此處的the 不能用his, her, my代替。其他選項與句子意義不符。
42. D上文說祖父很溫和，因此他很少提高嗓門和別人說話。從句子結(jié)構(gòu)(倒裝)和語境看，只有D項符合語境。
43. A他也從來沒有和祖母吵架。
44. C由下文意義可知祖父的反映是：沒有半點生氣或煩惱的樣子。從搭配看B項不對。
45. B此處表示“祖母她先無緣無故地罵了我一頓”，這回我故意搗亂之后讓她罵就有理由了。

Jeremy Wirick, 9, has been back in school for less than two months, but he has already had several asthma(哮喘)attacks. A recent attack happened on October 2, after he pushed himself too hard in gym class. Running, power walking, jogging and push-ups took their toll. When Jeremy got home an hour or two later, he was out of breath. He needed to use a nebulizer, a machine that helps send medicine quickly to the lungs, to get his breathing back to normal.
Asthma attacks like Jeremy increase in September and October. More than six times as many asthma sufferers who are elementary-school age need hospital treatment in the fall as in the summer.
Experts believe many factors can contribute to back-to-school asthma. Kids get together in close spaces, they start passing viruses around. A viral infection can cause an asthma attack. There are also certain fall allergies(過敏癥)that can cause attacks. Exercise is another common cause of an attack. Besides, the stress of school can make asthma worse.
Parents can play a big role in helping kids with asthma start the school year right. Dawne Gee’s10-year-old son, Alexander, has had asthma since he was a baby. Before the school year starts, she tells school workers in writing about her son’s asthma.
The Gees live in Kentucky, which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication(藥物治療)with them at school. Alexander’s mom makes sure he has his inhaler(人工呼吸器)with him when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware, where Jeremy lives, kids are allowed to carry their inhalers at school.
The American Lung Association says that about 6.2 million American children suffer from asthma. Asthma is the chronic (慢性) illness that causes students to miss the most days of school. There are many things that schools can do to help students control their asthma

There are no exact differences between physics and other natural sciences because all sciences overlap(重疊）.In general,however,physics is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat,light,sound,pressure,gravity and electricity,and the ways they affect other objects.
One major branch of physics deals with the states of matter—solids,liquids and gases and with their motions.The pioneer achievements of Galileo,Kepler and Newton dealt with solid masses of matter in motion.Such studies deal with forces acting on moving objects.It is the subject of mechanics and belongs to the branch of mechanics called dynamics,the study of matter in motion.This large topic includes not only the motions of stars and ping-pong balls but also the motions of the water pumped by a fire engine and those of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane.
A branch of mechanics is statics(靜力學(xué)）,the study of matter at rest.The designs of buildings and bridges are examples of problems in statics.Other branches of physics are based on the different kinds of energy,which interact with matter.They deal with electricity and magnetism（磁力）,heat,light,and sound.From these branches of physics scientists find clues(線索） which have revealed(揭示） the constructions of atoms and how the atoms react to various kinds of energy. This knowledge is often called the basis of modern physics.Among the many subdivisions（細的分支）of modern physics are electronics and nuclear physics.Physics is closely related to engineering.A person who uses knowledge of physics in solving everyday problems is often called an engineer.For example,electricity is one of the branches of physics;and an electrical engineer is a man who uses the “natural laws” of electricity to help in designing and electric generator(電動機）.
小題1:Physics is not exactly different from other natural sciences because_________.
A．physics and other natural sciences have parts in common
B．it is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat,light and sound
C．it studies the ways in which forces and qualities affect other objects
D．it is a part of other natural sciences
小題2:The following statements are included in the study of dynamics except_________.
A．the design and construction of skyscrapers
B．the motions of heavenly bodies
C．the motions of water pumped by a fire engine
D．the motions of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane
小題3:Among many branches of modern physics is _________.
A．statesB．electricityC．electronicsD．mechanics
小題4:This knowledge” in Paragraph Three refers to_________.
A．electricity and magnetism,light and sound
B．the construction of atoms and their reactions to various kinds of energy
C．the basis of modern physics

Visitors from space may have landed on our planet from time to time, maybe hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the far future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundreds years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and records from some certain places, one can find many reports of strange events that could be some explanations about visiting from outer space. A writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo! One is tempted(引誘) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cannot take them too seriously, for before education on science was popular, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(彗星) made people believe the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today.
56.小題1:According to the passage, visitors from outer space may have landed on the earth      .
A．long before man had dreamed of itB．long before there were human beings
C．in the last few hundred yearsD．a(chǎn)fter the space travel began
57.小題2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Charles Fort sighted a lot of UFOs himself.B．All sightings of UFOs are believable.
C．There may be living things on other planets.D．People have seen visitors from other planets everywhere.
58.小題3:According to the passage,           .
A．UFOs are only seen in recent yearsB．UFOs sightings are not new
C．UFOs are just meteors and cometsD．UFOs are invented by people

Michael, a typical (典型的) American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal (接線端) in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
　　The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating (使隔離) us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts(賬戶), making paper checks(支票)unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
　　Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
13. The sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ____ .
　　A .Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
　　B. Michael is not a real person but probably the lifestyle does exist
　　C. Michael has ambitions but he can?t make his dreams come true
　　D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
14. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
　　A. Games and sports.
　　B. Personal banking.
　　C. Music and films.
　　D. International business.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
　　A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
　　B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
　　C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
　　D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.
