“I’ve always thought that to be I need three things: someone to , something to do and something to look forward to,” she said. “I’ve got people here to love, and the activities to me as busy as I want, but I don’t have anything I’m looking forward to. Do you have any ?”

“What did you look forward to before you came here?” we asked.

“Oh, I used to love to laugh with others,” Miriam said.

“What did you about?” we asked.

“Everything I could see, hear, feel, taste or smell,” she said with a smile.

At that very moment, we got the idea to start our . We began looking for humor, and we used all of our .We started with a teabag with the : You are like this teabag… only in hot water do you realize how strong you are.

We continued and found cartoons and videos filled with humor. People brought us stickers, books, games and magazines. We together humor baskets with books, tapes, greeting cards and toys for children of all ages.

Of course, we a humor basket for Miriam, the woman who had us on this project – “Search for a Smile and Share it”. She told us that the of her day was sharing the of her basket with everyone she saw.

The project was so that other facilities heard of it and made special . One nursing home asked us to make a humor cart, like a shopping cart. Volunteers this down the hallways, sharing smiles and laughs with . Still another nursing home requested that we a humor room, complete with a projector showing fun videos.

【解析】

試題分析：“Search for a Smile and Share it”. 如果我們每個人都自覺地搜索微笑并且與他人分享，世界將會變得更加美好。

1.

2. “I’ve got people here to love”可知，Miriam認為感到快樂，需要有人去愛。所以選A. love.

3.“I’ve got people here to love, and the activities to 38 me as busy as I want,”此處要選非謂語的中心詞來修飾activities，所以該處的文意應(yīng)為“我有愛的人，也有一些讓我像我所希望的那么忙碌的活動”，而keep sb busy“讓某人一直忙著”，故答案應(yīng)為C. keep. 而其它選項A. lead “引導(dǎo)，導(dǎo)致”，其結(jié)構(gòu)多為lead sb to sth/ lead sb to do sth；B. find 可以有“find sb + adj.”這種結(jié)構(gòu)，但翻譯成發(fā)現(xiàn)某人…，所以語意不符；D. encourage“鼓勵”,其結(jié)構(gòu)為“encourage sb to do sth”，所以從結(jié)構(gòu)上可以排除D.

4.Do you have any ideas?”意為“你有什么想法/主意嗎？”情景交際用語。

5. 動詞辨析。根據(jù)上下文Miriam 所說的話：“Oh, I used to love to laugh with others,”“Everything I could see, hear, feel, taste or smell,”可推知，在這兩句話中間，“我們”問的是：“Miriam，你覺得什么好笑、值得開心呢？”

6.We began looking for humor”可知，我們開始了我們的“方案，計劃” A. procedure“程序、步驟”；C. Research“調(diào)查、研究”；D. preparation“準備”；并且下文也多次出現(xiàn)了用project來表示我們所做的事情。故答案確定為B.

7.A. efforts“努力”；B. senses“感官、感覺” C. tools“工具” D. families“家庭”

該句句意：“我們開始尋找幽默，用盡我們所有的 �！笔紫瓤梢耘懦鼵.D.。下文并沒描述我們多么努力，竭盡心力地去做這件事，而是講到，我們從生活的各個方面去發(fā)現(xiàn)幽默和快樂，所以該空答案應(yīng)為B.可以譯為：“我們盡可能全方位地去感知這個世界�！�

8. A. message“信息”B. letter“信件，字母”C. cover“封面” D. sign“符號、記號，招牌、指示牌”，此處指在茶葉袋上有…的信息，所以答案用A. Message.

9.We began looking for humor,”和該空后的“and found cartoons and videos filled with humor.”這兩句里的looking for 和 found 可推知，該空為B. search.

10.…放在一起”。根據(jù)句意：“我們把這些裝有書籍、磁帶、賀卡和適合各個年齡段孩子的玩具的幽默籃子‘放在了一起’”。所以答案選D. put11. A. paid“付款”B. made“制作”C. filled“裝滿”D. applied“申請”，該空根據(jù)句意：“我們?yōu)镸iriam也‘做’了一個幽默籃子”，所以選B.made.

12.Miriam讓我們想到了并開始了這個project，所以該處選A. started。

13. �！� A. highlight“精彩”；B. satisfaction“滿意”； C. project“工程項目、規(guī)劃計劃”；D. appointment“任命，約會”。顯然，該空只能填A(yù). highlight.

14.A. designs“設(shè)計”；B. foods“食物”C. books“書籍”D. contents“容納的東西”

根據(jù)上文（倒數(shù)第四段）“ humor baskets books, tapes, greeting cards and toys for children of all ages.”可知，幽默籃子里放的東西有書、磁帶、賀卡和玩具，所以正確答案為D. C. book“書籍”，片面了。

15.A. touching “令人感動的”；B. successful“成功的”；C. interesting“有趣的”；D.respectful“有禮貌的”。通過下文可知，其它的療養(yǎng)院請我們做些事情，所以the project 應(yīng)該是“成功的”。

16. A. gifts“禮物”；B. donations“捐贈物”C. requests“請求、要求”D. arrangements“安排”，根據(jù)下文“ One nursing home asked us to make a humor cart…”及“Still another nursing home requested that …”所以，可以推知其它的一些療養(yǎng)院做出了“請求”，故正確答案為：C.request.

17.a humor cart“快樂推車”，那么以此詞為賓語， 以Volunteers作主語，所以要選push。意為：“志愿者們推著快樂推車在走廊，和療養(yǎng)院里的療養(yǎng)者們分享著快樂�！彼栽摽者xB.

18.A. nurses“護士”； B. workers“工人”；C. residents“住戶、房客”；D. children“孩子”。志愿者們在療養(yǎng)院里推著推車，顯然一般是要和“療養(yǎng)者”們分享快樂，所以選C. residents.

19.A. design“設(shè)計”； B. organize“組織”；C. decorate“裝飾”； D. offer“主動提供”。其賓語為：a humor house room，所以該空動詞應(yīng)選A. design. 句意為：“另一個療養(yǎng)院請我們設(shè)計一個快樂房間，完成時要有一部放喜劇的投影儀。”

20. A. save“救”；B. help“幫助”；C. thank“感謝”；D. satisfy“使…滿足”。

根據(jù)上文可知，“我們”開始僅僅想“幫助”一下這個老婦人，最終這個幫助演變成了一個一生的事業(yè)：“Search for a Smile and Share it”.

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make. Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak.

Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls. The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍）their responses. Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的）. Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.

"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger. ' " Hare told. Discovery News.

Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.

Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behavior, thus increasing the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.

In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too. According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.

While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害獸）. Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.

1.The text mainly talks about _______ .

A. the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies

B. the comparison between squirrels and chickadees

C. the calling for the protection of squirrels

D. the study on the language of squirrels

2.If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____.

A. whistles with chucks B. pure chirps

C. whistles without chucks D. repeated chucks

3.The underlined word “tidings” in paragraph 6 probably means ____.

A. difficulties B. noises

C. messages D. languages

4.What can be learned from this text?

A. Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do.

B. Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.

C. Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.

D. Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language.

What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?

It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.

Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ?1 including free milk from the farm.

Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength --- in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ?112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.

Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.

C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.

D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts

B. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London.

C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals

D. some superstars are concerned about global poverty.
