15.I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives.Then he went on to say,"Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love."To myself,I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well,for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,"That new yellow sweater looks great on you.""Oh,Tom,you noticed",she said,surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive,I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse,but then I thought,"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me."We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy,that's how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
"What's the matter?"I asked her.
"Tom,"she said in a voice filled with distress,"I don't?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?Tom,you've been so good to me…am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.
"No,honey,"I said,wrapping her in my arms."You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."
56.In the first paragraph,"No ifs,ands or buts"probably meansD.
A.Unintentionally                              
B.Independently
C.Impressively                                 
D.Unconditionally
57.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottageC.
A.with his family                              
B.with Evelyn
C.a(chǎn)lone                                           
D.with his children
58.During the two weeks on the beach,Tom showed more love to his wife becauseA.
A.he was determined to be a good husband
B.he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
C.she looked lovely in her new clothes
D.the doctor said his wife was seriously ill
59.The author says,"There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment."What does"one thing"refer to?D
A.He praised her sweater,which puzzled her.
B.She insisted on visiting a museum,which he hated.
C.He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.
D.He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
60.By saying"I'm just starting to live,"Tom means thatB.
A.he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B.he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
C.he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

分析 本文寫(xiě)了一名丈夫決定做一個(gè)好丈夫,在生活中開(kāi)始對(duì)妻子和孩子充滿(mǎn)愛(ài)的故事.

解答 56.答案是D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文中句子"Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts",完完全全的充滿(mǎn)愛(ài)意,沒(méi)有如果,并且,但是等任何的條件,unconditionally無(wú)條件的,所以答案選D.
57.答案是C.推理判斷題,根據(jù)文章第一句"I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage."在去獨(dú)家海灘的小屋的路上,我對(duì)自己做出了一個(gè)承諾要改變自己,下一次去海邊的時(shí)候是帶著全家去的,可以推斷去海邊的房子是他一個(gè)人去的,所以答案選C.
58.答案是A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,陪著老婆孩子在海邊度假是作者決定做一個(gè)充滿(mǎn)愛(ài)心的丈夫和父親之后作者做到的,之后作者"I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love."又給自己另一個(gè)承諾選擇愛(ài),可見(jiàn)作者是決心做一個(gè)好丈夫,故答案選A.
59.答案是D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)下文的敘述"Tom,you've been so good to me…am I dying"我對(duì)妻子如此好,以至于她認(rèn)為自己快要死了,所以答案選D.
60.答案是B.推理判斷題,從文章開(kāi)頭作者做了一個(gè)承諾要做一位好丈夫,對(duì)妻子的好才剛剛開(kāi)始,所以答案B復(fù)合句意.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀(guān)點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋?zhuān)忌紫纫屑?xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀(guān)點(diǎn).

10.They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot,on mules (騾子) or by air.We chose the first.Up early,my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started.We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out,I was shocked at how narrow the path was.And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us.They had heavy backpacks,water bottles,and hats.But as usual we were dressed.As the sun rose higher,Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us.There was no shade and our legs were aching.We decided to go back,with the girl on my back and the boys far behind.By the time we finally got back,our legs were like jelly.
The next day,after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast,we were ready for another view of the Canyon-by air.After our last walk,this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon.But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻轉(zhuǎn)) the plane around,pretending he was going to hit the ground.I shouted,"STOP,TAKE US BACK!"When we finally arrived back on land,once again our legs were like jelly.We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said,there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon.We never tried the mules,but personally I'd suggest a fourth:buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic.That way,you can see the Canyon,without fear or tiredness.

41.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?B
A.They made a careful preparation before the trip.K*s*5u
B.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
C.The children were more joyful than their parents.
D.The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
42.The underlined expression"Our legs were like jelly"probably meansC.
A.we were dissatisfied              B.we were unhappy
C.we were weak                      D.we were disappointed
43.Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?D
A.It made each of them tired.      B.It was more comfortable.
C.It turned out to be exciting.    D.It proved to be frightening.
44.We can infer from the passage thatA.
A.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.
B.one needs to dress les when visiting the Grand Canyon.
C.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way.
D.the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.

5.Jeanne Calment,a French woman,became a record breaker on 17October,1995when at the age of 120years and 238days,she became the longest-lived human being on record.A Japanese man died in 1986at the age of 120years and 237days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband,her only child and her grandson have all died.She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair,but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90?year?old woman in good health than someone of 120.She still has a lively sense of humor.When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future,she replied:A very short one.She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life?According to some doctors,diet,exercise and no smoking are the three important factors.Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips.She has always eaten a healthy diet,and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115.However,until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day,and she does smoke (now only a little).Besides,Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes(基因) from her parents.Her father lived to the age of 94and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death.It must have seemed a good   move  at the time,but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house.Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:Sorry,I'm still alive!

56.How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?B
A.She is miserable and unhappy.
B.She is cheerful and humorous.
C.She would like to live much longer.
D.She feels she is going to die very soon.
57.We can owe Jeanne Calment's good health and long life toD.
A.smoking only a little every day
B.her giving up smoking and drinking
C.drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day
D.the good genes from her parents,a healthy diet and some exercise
58.Which of the following word could best replace the word"move"in the fourth paragraph?A
A.deal       B.trick         
C.march      D.sport
59.Why does Jeanne Calment say"Sorry,I'm still alive"to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?C
A.Because she had an agreement at 80with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
B.Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C.Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
D.Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn't worth the money he has already paid.
