Alfred Nobel became a millionaire and changed the ways of mining，construction，and warfare as the inventor of dynamite（炸藥）. On April 12，1888，Alfred's brother Ludwig died of heart attack. A major French newspaper _21_ his brother for him and carried an article _22_ the death of Alfred Nobel. “The merchant of death is dead.”The article read. “Dr. Alfred
Nobel，who became  _23_  by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before，died yesterday. ”Nobel was _24_ to find out not that he had died，but that，when his time was up，he would be thought of only as one who profited from _25_ and destruction.
To make sure that he was _26_ with love and respect. Nobel arranged in his _27_ to give the largest part of his money to _28_ the Nobel prizes，which would be awarded to people who made great _29_ to the causes of peace，literature，and the sciences. So _30_ ，Nobel had to die before he realized what his life was really about.
小題1:
A．foundB．misunderstoodC．mistookD．judged

A．introducingB．a(chǎn)nnouncingC．implyingD．a(chǎn)dvertising
小題3:
A．famousB．sickC．richD．popular
小題4:
A．upsetB．a(chǎn)nxiousC．excitedD．pleased

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:A
小題5:A
小題6:D
小題7:C
小題8:A
小題9:D
小題10:B

小題1:因mistake A for B （將A誤以為B）是固定搭配。
小題2:由常識可知，報社應(yīng)是“發(fā)布”消息，故用announce （give information about）。
小題3:由首句became a millionaire可知。
小題4:根據(jù)常識，看到自己本來死卻報道死了這樣的消息，特別是說自己通過kill more people faster來發(fā)財?shù)脑u論，應(yīng)當(dāng)是“不高興，苦惱（unhappy or annoyed）”，不可能是“興奮的（excited）”“高興的（pleased）”“渴望的（anxious）”。
小題5:與destruction（毀滅）并列并且上文death原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)故選出A。
小題6:由后文設(shè)立獎金可知，是為了改變自我形象，要設(shè)法“被別人充滿愛與尊敬地銘記（be remember with love and respect）”。
小題7:由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遺囑（will）”中作的安排。
小題8:根據(jù)與名詞the Nobel prizes的搭配，又結(jié)合常識，應(yīng)當(dāng)是“設(shè)立”諾貝爾獎金。
小題9:獎金應(yīng)當(dāng)是將給那些為世界和平、文學(xué)和科學(xué)等領(lǐng)域做出過巨大貢獻(xiàn)的人。make contributions to…（對……作出貢獻(xiàn)）是固定搭配。
小題10:這個題最有爭議了。我認(rèn)為這句話不可以直譯為：諾貝爾在認(rèn)識到他的人生的真正意義之前就不得不死去了。這不僅不合情理，也很明顯與作者所設(shè)置的寫作背景不符。語言是非常靈活的，我們不妨來意譯：好在諾貝爾認(rèn)識到了自己人生的真諦，否則他就是行尸走肉，靈魂早已死去。而這句話，則是作者對諾貝爾的評語�？梢宰x得出來，作者對諾貝爾的晚年還是抱贊賞態(tài)度的。

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品雜貨），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影響）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.                 B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.                       D. They used it for work and daily life.
57. We can infer from the text that ____________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.              B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike            D. life was hard for the young family.
58. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts.                           B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.                                     D. From a stranger.
59. What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.                   B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.              D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good-for-nothing fellow grab a pound of fresh butter and concealed it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge. He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.
Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could possibly fit inside.
Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. “Sit down; don’ t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.
Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be perspiring (排汗) as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”
“No!” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “No, I must go; let me out.”
A greasy (油膩的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, soaking (浸泡) into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe.
Just as his victim darted out the door, the grocer said, “I reckon (估計) the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”
1．Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?
A. Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.
B. Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.
C. Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.
D. Because he didn’t want to pay for it.
2．What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?
A. The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.
B. The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.
C. The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.
D. The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.
3．What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality?
A. He wanted to make friends with Seth.
B. He wanted to be kind to him.
C. He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.
D. He wanted to sell more of his goods.
4．What is the best title of the passage?
A. Great fun B. The right revenge C. A fun-loving grocer D. A foolish customer

The Amazing Kids! PenPals Program is a literacy-based (基于讀寫能力的), traditional letter-writing pen pal program, available to all children aged 5-17 worldwide.
At $10 per child, our program is a low-cost and fun way to help your children practice their literacy skills while they are making new friends. Groups of 15 or more receive a 50% discount.
Children love our program because:
●It helps them develop new (and possibly life-long)friendships.
●It allows them to practice the traditional form of letter writing and correspondence.
●They love getting letters in the mail from their pen pals!
Parents love our program because:
●It offers one of the few remaining choices for finding an established, safe and trusted traditional pen pal program to their children.
●It helps strengthen communication and literacy skills taught in their children’s classroom.
●It helps open their children’s eyes to a larger world, and other cultures and traditions outside their own.
●Many parents remember having a pen pal when they were children and want to give their children the same positive, fun learning experience.
●Parents love helping their children find new friends of their own age and gender.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there a fee?
We are a small, all-volunteer non-profit organization, and the fees help cover our cost of running the program.
How did the Amazing Kids! PenPals Program begin?
The program began as a way of reaching out to the children affected by the devastating (毀滅性的) hurricanes of 2005. Our hope was that by matching young hurricane survivors with a new pen pal, we could help them in their recovery from the trauma (創(chuàng)傷) they experienced.
The program is now available to all children worldwide. We continue to welcome teachers, youth groups or agencies who like to work with hurricane survivors.
How does it work?
Amazing Kids! will match students of the same gender and age with other students who may share similar interests and hobbies, based on the information provided on the registration form.
I’ve completed all forms and made my payment. What happens next?
Someone from Amazing Kids! will contact you once a match has been found. You will be asked to call the other parent, teacher or group leader of the pen pal Amazing Kids! has selected. If both adults agree that the pen pal match is a good one, then the students may begin writing to each other. If the match is determined not to be a good one, Amazing Kids! will try and find an alternative match.
