There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book  26  hand. Of course, we may  27  with our guide-books the history and  28  developments of a town and get to know them.
 29  then, if we take our time and  30  in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we  31  it as a whole, we begin to have some  32 , which even the best guide-books do not
answer. Why is the town just  33  this —— this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets  34  in this particular way, and not in any  35  way?
Here even the best guide-book  36  us. One can’t find the information in it about how a town has developed to the  37  appearance. It may not describe the original  38  of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it  39  look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine  40  the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town  41  to develop.
What is the  42  of studying towns in this way？For me, it is  43  a matter that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A  44  visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive  45  just reading about it in a guide-book.

小題1:本題考查介詞。guide-book in hand是獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，作狀語，表示方式。
小題2:本題考查動詞。了解一座城市的方式很多，其中之一就是環(huán)城徒步旅行，當(dāng)然，我們還可以借助guide-book來研究（study）其歷史和特有的（special）的發(fā)展并了解他們。我們不能借助導(dǎo)游手冊來寫（write）其歷史，也不需要講述（tell）和記憶（remember）其歷史。
小題3:本題考查形容詞。special是指這個城市所特有的。
小題4:本題考查連詞。上文講我們可以借助導(dǎo)游手冊研究其歷史和發(fā)展，下文講如果我們從容一點，在一個城市小住幾天，則對其了解更多。此間有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思。
小題5:本題考查動詞。
小題6:本題考查動詞短語。look at 在本題中有“考慮，判斷”的意思，look at …as a whole意思是“從整體上看”。
小題7:本題考查名詞。下文有動詞answer，此處是先行詞，在定語從句中用answer的賓語，只有questions才能構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系。
小題8:本題考查介詞。介詞like意思是“像”。
小題9:本題考查動詞。run在這里意思是“延伸；延續(xù)；繼續(xù)”（stretch）。例如：The road runs along the river bank. 這條路沿著河邊一直延伸。
小題10:本題考查形容詞。in any other way以其它方式
小題11:本題考查動詞。fail在這里的意思是“使……失望”。從上下文看出，導(dǎo)游手冊也不能回答以上這些問題。
小題12:本題考查形容詞。present adj 現(xiàn)在的，當(dāng)前的。
小題13:本題考查名詞。the original design of a town一座城市最初的設(shè)計。
小題14:本題考查動詞。what it used to look like 城市過去的樣子，與上文the original design of a town相響應(yīng)。
小題15:本題考查連詞。選項A是疑問代詞，用在此處語法結(jié)構(gòu)錯誤；選項C和D分別指這座城市首次建造的時間和地點，與上文the original design of a town和what it used to look like沒有聯(lián)系；選項B表示這座城市設(shè)計建造的方式。
小題16:本題考查動詞。與上句一致，意思是人們還能更多地了解這座城市未來繼續(xù)發(fā)展方向。
小題17:本題考查名詞。point在本句的意思是“用途，目的”。Begin your work now. There’s no point in wasting time. 現(xiàn)在就開始你的工作吧，耗時間沒用。
小題18:本題考查副詞。nearly幾乎；generally一般地；hardly幾乎不，都不符合題意。simply僅僅，只是。作者以這種方式去了解一座城市的原因很簡單，僅僅是通過親眼去看，去感受一個人就能更獲得更大的快樂。
小題19:本題考查形容詞。personal親自的，親身的，與上一句里的visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes意思相一致。
小題20:本題考查介詞。前面有比較級better，這里當(dāng)然用介詞than。

Make the most of college
Dear Daughter,
As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.
First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament（ 證明）of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn’t extremely impotant for your life, the learning skills you gain will be something you will cherish（懷念） forever.
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be trapped by what others think or say, but make up your own mind.
Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are sincere and honest to you.  Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities.
Start planning early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good,  and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses.
Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major,  or managing your time, you should take control of your life. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you’ll love it!
College is the four years where you have:
l The greatest amount of free time
l the first chance to be independent
l the most flexibility（靈活性）to change
l the lowest risk for making mistakes
So please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny（命運(yùn)）, be bold（敢于冒險的） to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.
May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you become just what you dream to be.
Love,
Dad (&Mom)

It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road.   36 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury .
I was going along   37 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a  38 scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only   39 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious--looking（可疑的）car just   40  a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I   41  speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw   42  me.

“Let me go, you coward; you’re hurting me. Oh ! Oh ! ”
I felt my   44  boil. The fog was coming down   45  now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no  46 that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
“Drop that knife, you fool. Oh ! ” Then a cry and a groan（呻吟）.
If I was to save her, it was now or   47 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to   48 . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its   49 , and its brakes（剎車）screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and  50  into the ditch（溝）at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .
“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was   51   than he. I put all I could into   52  that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It   53  him right on the point of the chin; his   54  slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car,   55  open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.
“You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately . ”

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Recently, a  professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called MoneyandtheMeaningofLife. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day­to­day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says that our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you have a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich?
Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
小題1:The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ________.
A．is a good way to test your friendship
B．will do harm to your friendship
C．will strengthen your friendship
D．is a good way to break off your friendship
小題2:What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?
A．He does not feel that he is well educated.
B．He does not think that he is a very important person.
C．He does not think that being rich is worth so much attention.
D．He does not consider himself to be very successful.
小題3:What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A．Money is an end.B．Money is a means.
C．Money is everything.D．Money is unimportant.
小題4:Which of the following might the author disagree with?
A．Money is important in modern society.
B．The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.
C．Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness
D．Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.

The trip to the United State opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth.
The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they don’t care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. I think it’s great, but it also causes problems. Since they don’t care about their appearance, they don’t really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.
There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they don’t really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, actually, can’t kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want.
As for other types of relationships, there are also big differences. Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of tie between her and this new circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.
To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they don’t really care how the others will judge them. In France, it’s not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans’ behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.
小題1:The underlined word “respects” in the third paragraph probably means____.
A．a(chǎn)pproachesB．a(chǎn)spectsC．honorsD．means
小題2:When American youth fall in love with each other, they _________.
A．will not hold each other
B．will rarely display their love in public
C．will always think about their future
D．will kiss wherever they like
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that French youth may think more about ______.
A．their relationship’s futureB．their public images
C．their physical displaysD．their lover’s ideas
小題4:The passage is mainly about the______ between American youth and French youth.
A．differencesB．friendshipC．similaritiesD．relationships

Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Therefore, the choice of an __36__ should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, __37__, most people make several job choices during their working lives, __38__ because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve __39__ position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should __40__ enter into a broad flexible training program that will __41__ them for a field of work rather than for a single __42__ .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans __43__ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing __44__ about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss __45__. Some drift from job to job. Others __46__ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for __47__ real or imagined prestige .
Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, __48__ both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal __49__. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is __50__ good reason for choosing it as life's work. __51__, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the __52__ of young people should take serious __53__ into these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants __54__ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take __55__ for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

Dear Bridge of Hope supporters,
July 2010 was a productive month for the teachers at BOH. Marilyn traveled to Liberia and helped Kathleen Ngenda with her teacher training program on Basic Adult Literacy. During the eight-day training, she helped the teachers learn to pronounce, spell and write correctly. They are currently working on personal sets of cards and lists so that they can teach this concept to students in the fall. Kathleen plans on two trips back to the school to monitor teachers in their teaching.
Marilyn found a very dedicated （投入的）and enthusiastic group of elementary teachers who are focused on bettering themselves as educators. BOHUSA will offer financial support for their further educational studies this fall. Our goal is to have all staff be certified by the end of 2013.
The Liberian government recommends a C-certificate for teachers of elementary students, which can be obtained in one year of education classes (taken on Saturdays).
There is a great need to add seventh and eighth grade classrooms and a library. There is actually no room, however, and so we need to add a second floor. Currently the ground floor houses the church and the school uses this space for daily services. The first floor would give space for three more classrooms, in addition to a large reading room and computer labs. About $40,000 to 50,000 is required to meet the educational needs.
If you would like to contribute to this building project, please make out your check to:
Bridge of Hope
12002 Arnold Rd.
Orrville, Ohio 44667
Bridge of Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization. You do not have to pay tax on your contributions.
小題1:Marilyn went to Liberia to ______.
A．take a tripB．visit a school
C．take training classesD．help train teachers
小題2:What do we know about the school from Paragraph 4?
A．It needs repairB．It needs expansion
C．It has no office.D．It has an old library,
小題3:The purpose of the letter is to _________.
A．show the achievements of BOH
B．thank BOH supporters for their concern
C．raise money for an educational project
D．call people’s attention to education in Liberia
