3.When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely lame and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare.I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention.If he ever noticed or was bothered,he never let on,nor did he say anything about it.
It was difficult to coordinate(協(xié)調(diào)) our steps-his pausing,my impatience-and because of that,we didn't say much as we went along.But as we started out,he always said,"You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you."
Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work.He went to work sick,and despite bad weather.He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not.A matter of pride.
When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help.At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,NY,on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance.Once there,he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
When I think of it now,I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress.And at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able.What he looked for in others was a"good heart",and if he found one,the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older,I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people,even though I still don't know precisely what a"good heart"is.But I know the times I don't have one myself.
My father has been gone many years now,but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks.If he did,I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was,how unworthy I was,how I regretted it.I think of him when I complain about incident,when I am envious of another's good fortune,when I don't have a"good heart".
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance,and say,"You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you."

56.What wouldn't the author like others to see?(No more than 10words)His father was crippled,short and couldn't keep balance.
57.What's the meaning of the underlined phrase"let on"in the first paragraph?(No more than 5words)Showed his feelings/Told others his feelings.
58.According to the third paragraph,what conclusion can you get about the father's attitude toward his work?(No more than 8words)He loved his work/He took his work seriously./Hewas strict in his work.
59.Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a"good heart".(No more than10words)He subjected himself to indignity and stress./He never talked about himself as an object of pity/He didn't show any envy of the more fortunate or able.
60.What does the author learn from his father?(No more than 15words)To be a man with a good heart.

分析 文中介紹到:在作者成長的過程中,總是羞于讓別人看見的他和父親在一起.因為父親身材矮小,腿上有嚴(yán)重的殘疾,走路時,為了保持身體平衡還需要作者的攙扶;可是,不管父親內(nèi)心多么地痛苦,卻從不表現(xiàn)出來;盡管他們一起走路時,由于作者缺乏耐心走得很快,而父親的步子總是很慢,所以他們很難相互協(xié)調(diào)起來;但父親總是說,"你走你的,我想法兒跟上你";父親工作很認(rèn)真,他從沒因為生病或是天氣惡劣而耽誤過一天的工作;父親經(jīng)受了屈辱和壓力,但他從不說自己可憐,也從不嫉妒別人的幸運(yùn)和能力;他所期望的是別人的"善心";最后作者表達(dá)了自己對父親的愧疚之情以及當(dāng)他為一些瑣事而抱怨,妒忌別人的好運(yùn),感自己缺乏"善心"時,他就會想起他的父親.通過對以上內(nèi)容的描述,主要表達(dá)了作者對父親的愧疚以及要向父親學(xué)習(xí)做一名有善心的人的愿望.

解答 答案:
56.His father was crippled,short  and couldn't keep balance.    細(xì)節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)第一段中"He was severely lame and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare."對作者父親的描述可知,作者怕別人看到他父親腿瘸,個矮,并且自己無法保持平衡;故填His father was crippled,short and couldn't keep balance.
57.Showed his feelings/Told others his feelings.  細(xì)節(jié)推理題    由于第一段中的"If he ever noticed or was bothered,he never let on,nor did he say anything about it."是條件狀語從句,因此在同一條件(如果他注意到或是被打擾了)下,"he never let on"表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)與"nor did he say anything about it."相同或相近,即:他什么也不說;故可推測出,let on的意思應(yīng)是:向別人說出或表達(dá)出自己的感受;故填Showed his feelings/Told others his feelings.
58.He loved his work/He took his work seriously./He was strict in his work. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)第三段"He went to work sick,and despite bad weather.He almost never missed a day"他從沒因為生病或是天氣惡劣而耽誤過一天的工作,可推測出父親很熱愛他的工作或是他很認(rèn)真地對待自己的工作;故填He loved his work/He took his work seriously./He was strict in his work.
59.He subjected himself to indignity and stress./He never talked about himself as an object of pity/He didn't show any envy of the more fortunate or able.  細(xì)節(jié)理解題      文中第五,六段主要講述了父親擁有一顆善良的心,具體體現(xiàn)在:他經(jīng)受了屈辱和壓力;從不說自己可憐;從不嫉妒別人的幸運(yùn)和能力;故填He subjected himself to indignity and stress./He never talked about himself as an object of pity/He didn't show any envy of the more fortunate or able. 
60.To be a man with a good heart. 細(xì)節(jié)推理題    根據(jù)最后一段作者表達(dá)了自己對父親充滿了愧疚之情以及當(dāng)他為一些瑣事而抱怨,妒忌別人的好運(yùn),感自己缺乏"善心"時,他就會想起他的父親,可知作者是想向父親學(xué)做一名有善心的人;故填To be a man with a good heart.

點(diǎn)評 本題主要考查了學(xué)生綜合運(yùn)用英語的能力,尤其是運(yùn)用英語進(jìn)行的概括能力;做本題時,首先要快速瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意;其次,根據(jù)問題到相應(yīng)的段落去尋找答案,或歸納概括出主要的內(nèi)容或大意;答題的要求是:回答要準(zhǔn)確簡潔,并且不能超出題目要求的字?jǐn)?shù).

11.A recent finding has showed that blue-eyed people have already been living in Europe for at least 7,000years.
A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin,according to scientists who have arranged his DNA in order.This surprising combination of eye,hair and skin coloring may not have been unusual during his lifetime,but it is no longer seen among modem Europeans,reported by the journal Nature.
The man,a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La BranaⅠ,is of great interest to scientists because he offers a brief introduction to what was in Europeans'DNA before agriculture spread through the continent.Experts have theorized that certain genetic feature spread quickly among humans after they adopted the farming lifestyle.La BranaⅠshows that at least some of their predictions were correct.
The man's skeleton,along with that of a male companion,was discovered in 2006in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain.The site,known as La Brana-Arintero,sits about 5,000feet above sea level,and the cave provided a cold,refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA.
In the lab,scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La BranaⅠ's entire genome (基因組).They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans(including Otzi,the 5,300-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier) and determined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers.
When it came to genes that would influence La BranaⅠ's appearance,the researchers found that their 7,000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment(色素) genes that are either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today.Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation(色素沉著)and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants(變種).Taken together,La BranaⅠ's DNA"is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair,"they wrote.
However,his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue,the scientists found.This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together,they wrote,adding that La BranaⅠ's combination"of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European populations."Today,a blue-eyed person would typically have fair skin.To get some idea of whether La BranaⅠ's coloring was unusual for his day,the researchers will try to arrange in order the DNA of his companion,who has been named La BranaⅡ.
32.Scientists have carried out the research into La BranaⅠbecause they wanted to know
C.
A.today's Europeans'DNA             
B.the ancient agriculture in Europe.
C.European hunter-gatherers'DNA.
D.the correctness of some of their predictions
33.La BranaⅠ's skeleton was best preserved mainly because ofB.
A.the height of the cave                
B.the cold condition in the cave
C.the location of the cave              
D.the wet condition in the cave
34.Which of the following statements is TRUE?B
A.La BranaⅠ's gene variants spread together.
B.La BranaⅠ's DNA influences his appearance.
C.Today's blue-eyed person may typically have rough rather than fair skin.
D.La BranaⅠ's gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans'.
35.The last paragraph suggests thatC.
A.La BranaⅡhas the same genome with La BranaⅠ.
B.Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7,000years ago.
C.It's not certain that La Brana's appearance was common at that time.
D.BranaⅠ's combination of dark skin and non-brown is popular in contemporary Europeans.

15.Car makers have long told this story to Americans:"We don't have the technology to build good electric cars.Customers don't want electrics because they are so unattractive,slow and hard to charge.We would build them if only people wanted them."Chris Paine casts serious doubt on that story in his hard-hitting documentary film,Who Killed the Electric Car?The title suggests a murder mystery,and that's what Paine provides.Well,some of it is a mystery.We know the victim from the start-an electric car called the EV1.Also,we can see that Paine will largely blame the General Motors Corporation (GM).
GM built the EV1 because the California Air Resources Board (CARB) ruled that cars in the state had to stop adding pollution to the air.The EV1,being electric,did not bum gasoline or put out any pollution.With technology available in 1990,GM had no trouble producing a car that could go 100 miles on a single charge and could recharge from an ordinary household electrical outlet.Remember the auto companies'claim that they don't have good electric-car technology?If that were true,the EV1 would never have been born.The company made 1000 EV1s and leased them to customers in Southern California.(In a lease,a customer does not own a car but pays to use it for a certain time.)
Because of its anti-pollution rule,CARB was sued (起訴) by oil companies,car companies,and the federal government.Under such pressure,CARB dropped its rule.No longer needing the EV1 to obey California's rules,GM responded by attacking its own child.The company ran advertisements saying how bad the EV1 was.Company representatives went on TV and radio shows to say it was unreliable.The company wanted to get the cars back and destroy them.The fact that EV1 were leased,not sold,is an important part of Paine's tale.GM still owned every car and could legally take them back.A few of them went to museums,but GM crushed most of them flat.If EV1s had been owned by their drivers,they would probably still be on the road.Many people who drove them loved them.In fact a group of EV1 drivers offered GM $1.8 million to buy a large number of cars and keep them going.GM refused.The company wanted the car to disappear.
Paine's criticism of the car industry,Washington's close relationships with the oil industry,and California's state government are harsh.Each,he says,played a role in the murder of the EV1.Each has also defended itself in the wake of the film,but Paine's excellent documentary will be hard for them to dismiss.

74.What's Paine's attitude towards car makers'story?C
A.Supportive.  B.Indifferent.  C.Doubtful.  D.Neutral.
75.The E VI is invented toB.
A.show the advanced technology of GM          
B.obey California's rules about air pollution
C.help those who can't afford to buy a car        
D.get rid of the cars burning gasoline
76.Which of the following statements is TRUE about EV1s?D
A.They are not popular because their users don't like them.
B.They are not reliable because of technical problems.
C.They need special equipment to get them charged.
D.They are owned by GM rather than customers.
77.What can be inferred from Paine's documentary?B
A.CARB is to blame for the murder of the EV1.
B.The drive of profits leads to the disappearance of the EV1.
C.People can no longer see EV1s because they have been destroyed.
D.Pressures from car-related companies forced CARB to stick to its rules.
