【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。作者通過自己從一個以自我為中心的沒有朋友的人轉(zhuǎn)變到關(guān)心他人，幫助他人，與人相處和諧的過程，說明做一個對別人有益有幫助的人是幸福的，成功的。

1.】B考查連詞 ： 把握上下文的語境。根據(jù)前一句話，可知作者現(xiàn)在和過去不一樣了，先考慮別人再考慮自己，所以用before, 在為自己著想之前先為別人著想，故選B。since自從；before在……之前；or或者；unless除非。

2. ： 利用原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)解題。根據(jù)文章第二句“in the past two years I have really changed.”，可推知，我現(xiàn)在是一個與之前不同的人了，故選C。famous著名；simple簡單；different不同；skilled熟練的。

3.】D�？疾槊~ ：把握上下文的語境。根據(jù)文章第二句“in the past two years I have really changed.”，可推知，本段要講的是，我的改變發(fā)生在什么時候，故選D。education教育；career職業(yè)；tour觀光；change改變。

4.】C�？疾槊~ ：根據(jù)生活常識推理手段。上大學(xué)的目的，就是為了得學(xué)位，所以作者一開始，就只是為了拿學(xué)位，故選C。balance平衡；homework家庭作業(yè)；degree學(xué)位；interest興趣。

5.】A�？疾閯釉~ ：把握上下文的語境。由上句“I thought I was smarter than everyone else,”，可知，作者自恃清高，看不起別人，因而也不與人說話交流，故選A。talked說話；wrote寫；lied說謊；reported報告。

6.】B。考查形容詞 ： 把握上下文的語境。根據(jù)前一句話“I hardly ever talked to anyone else”,可知作者沒有朋友，很孤獨，故選B。careful小心的；lonely孤獨的；curious好奇的；guilty有罪的。

7.】C。考查名詞 ： 利用概括詞復(fù)現(xiàn)解題。根據(jù)下文“I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I offered to help”，可知作者這樣做，不是A爭論，不是B游戲，而是一個嘗試，D變化與前邊動詞不搭配，故選C。argument爭論；game游戲；experiment嘗試；defence防御。

8.】B�？疾閯釉~ ： 根據(jù)詞匯的意義解題。根據(jù)前一句“if they were having trouble”可推知，作者是愿意提供幫助的，故選B。dared敢；offered提供；hesitated猶豫；happened發(fā)生。

9.】D。考查名詞 ： 根據(jù)上下文詞意復(fù)現(xiàn)解題。前文中出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)變different, 這里說的一大跨越，與前文相符，故選D。dream夢想；problem問題；duty責(zé)任；step步。

10.】C�？疾榇~ ：把握句子結(jié)構(gòu)解題。這是一個由and連接的并列句，前后都是一個簡單句，后半句中表達(dá)“其中有兩人”，所以用two of them. 本句中如果前邊沒有and，那么就該選D whom，是指人的關(guān)系代詞。故選C。us我們；which哪一個；them他們；whom誰。

11.】A。 考查名詞 ：利用概括詞復(fù)現(xiàn)解題。前文說作者是生活態(tài)度的轉(zhuǎn)變，而不是B興趣愛好，C希望，D運氣的改變，故選A。attitude態(tài)度；hobby嗜好；hope希望；luck運氣。

12.】A。考查名詞 ： 根據(jù)生活常識和文化背景的推理手段。作者去敬老院做兼職，與老人之間成了朋友，而不可能成為B伙伴，C向?qū)�，D客人，故選A。friend朋友；partner伙伴；guide導(dǎo)游；guest客人。

13.】B。 考查形容詞 ：把握句內(nèi)的邏輯關(guān)系。作者每次去看望她，她都把作者當(dāng)成她的女兒了，所以她應(yīng)該是高興的，故選B。polite禮貌的；happy幸福的；strange奇怪的；confident有信心的。

17.】C�？疾樾稳菰~ ： 利用概括詞復(fù)現(xiàn)解題。根據(jù)前文的事例，可知作者現(xiàn)在是變成了一個更好的人了，quieter僻靜的；busier忙的；better好的；richer富有的。故選C。

18.】A�？疾閯釉~ ： 根據(jù)詞匯的意義解題。根據(jù)前文所說，可推知，作者是希望自己不會忘記這些寶貴的經(jīng)歷。Forget忘記；face面對；improve提高；analyze分析，故選A。

About the year 1990, a small dark-haired boy named Charles Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of theatres. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.

But twenty years later this same Chaplin became the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian in the world. Nearly all visitors to cinema must have seen some of Chaplin’s films. People everywhere had sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are almost silent. It isn’t what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words or languages. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, of common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It’s a kind of world language.

Chapin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.

Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.

When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."

The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (責(zé)備) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.

Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

1.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "the apple of their eye”?

A. A person who always has a sweet smile.

B. A person who is as pretty as an apple.

C. Learn to forgive others

D. Everyone can make mistakes.

4. what do you think of the husband?
