10．Compassion is a desire within us to help others．With effort，we can translate compassion into action．An experience last weekend showed me this is true，I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers，and it's not hard to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday，one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register（收款機）with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash，had just moved into his room，and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．
I couldn't help staring at him，I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world，I told him that I was sorry，but store rules didn't allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job．
Just then，another man，standing behind the first，spoke up．If anything，he looked more pitiable．"Charge it to me"was all he said．
What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft and safe and easy．Compassion，on the other hand，is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either，then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion．
56．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuitsC．
A．promised to obey the store rules          
B．forgot to take any money with him
C．hoped to have the food first and pay later   
D．could not afford anything more expensive
57．Which of the following best describes the old gentleman？B
A．Kind and lucky．B．Poor and lonely．
C．Friendly and helpful．D．Hurt and disappointed．
58．The writer acted upon the store rules becauseA．
A．he wanted to keep his present job    
B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C．he considered the old man dishonest  
D．he expected someone else to pay for the old man
59．What does the writer learn from his experience？B
A．wealth is more important than anything else．
B．Helping others is easier said than done．
C．experience is better gained through practice．
D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion．
60．How would the old men feel at the end of the story？D

分析 文章講述了作者在超市收銀時，遇到一位貧窮又孤獨的老人，想要一份餅干，第二天來送錢．作者雖然同情他，但還是以店里有規(guī)定，拒絕了老人的要求．這時一位看起來比前一位更可憐的人主動要為老人付賬，作者同樣拒絕了，自己掏錢為老人結(jié)了帳．在作者看來，幫助別人說起來容易做起來難，經(jīng)過努力，我們可以將愛心轉(zhuǎn)化成行動幫助別人．

解答 CBABD
 56．C 細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第一段中"He said he was out if cash…h(huán)e promised to repay me the next day．"可知那位老人想先吃飯后付款．故選C．
57．B 細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第二段"I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before，and wha the would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul，all alone in the world，"我想知道他在10年前或是20年前究竟是怎么樣一個人呢，想知道如果沒有當時的好運氣，他會是什么樣呢．我為世界上這種人類靈魂孤獨的人感到心疼．可知老人又窮又孤單．故選B．
58．A 細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第二段最后一句"I felt stupid and unkind saying this，but I valued my job"我感到說這個是愚蠢而不友善的，但我珍惜我的工作．故選A．
59．B 細節(jié)題：根據(jù)最后一段"pity is soft and safe and easy．compassion is caring in action．"可知幫助別人說起來容易做起來難．故選B．
60．D 推理題：閱讀最后一段可知，作者以商店的規(guī)章制度為由沒有同意讓第二位老人付賬，最后是作者自己掏錢給那位老人結(jié)賬，出乎所有人意料，常理可知，老人肯定對作者很感激．故選D．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

20．Many of us mistakenly believe thai it's wrong to think we have any good qualities．We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities，thinking that self criticism is the key to improvirtg our pcrformance．However，a constallt focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people．How can we believe that others could like  us if we believe our inner being is flawed？
 If someone seems to dislike you，the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you．The person who doesn't like you miglit be fearful，or shallow．or busy or shy．Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time．
Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities．In fact，some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else．Aliliough some factors that migllt cause one person to reject you，there are at least many factors that will work in your favor．

18．You don't exactly have to jump on the next plane in order to see Venice while it's stillaround，but scientists are warning that only a miracle--or more advanced engineering than exists today--can save one of the world's most fabled （神話般的） cities of art and architecture，especially in view of global warming and the possibilities of ocean levels rising 6meters．The most recent reports indicate that Venice is sinking faster than had been predicted．The gloomiest forecast is that the waters of the Adriatic Sea could destroy Venice within this century，especially if global warming causes waters to rise even faster．What a catastrophe that would be．Surely there is no more absurd monument to the foolishness of mankind than Venice，a fantasy city on the sea．
Once you arrive and are amazed by all the architectural wonders and riches of Venice，its
vivid colors of sienna，Roman old，and ruby peach，you may think that reports of tide damage are overblown．But once you experience your first flood and see for yourself how close the sea is to sweeping over Venice，you'll most likely change your mind．
Pollution，uncontrolled tides （潮水），and just plain old age are eating away daily the
treasures of this cherished city of art．As the debate rages about how to save Venice，with no real solution in sight，the waters just keep rising．
Why did those"insane （神志不　清的）"Venetians build on such swampy islands and not on
dry land，of which there was plenty centuries ago？
In an effort to flee the barbarians．（野蠻人），Venetians left dry dock and drifted out to a group of low islands in the lagoon （瀉湖）．For a long time，Venice did avoid foreign armies'intent on invading，burning，and plundering．Eventually，Napoleon and his forces arrived；however，they were never to destroy Venice．
Foreign visitors have conquered Venire in ways most invading armies did not．Some 10million people visit Venire every year--and that's only counting the visitors who actually spend the night．Since Venice is known as an expensive city and has only a limited number of accommodations，there are countless day-trippers rushing in every day，all summer long．

54．The passage covers the following aspects about．Venire EXCEPTC
A．geography        B．history         C．traffic             D．culture
55．Which of the following can be the greatest threat to Venice？A
A．Constant global warming．
B．Unbelievable crowds of visitors．
C．Unbearable accommodation prices．
D．Foreign countries'powerful invasion．
56．What can we infer about Venice from this passage？B
A．It will eventually be destroyed by waters of the Adriatic sea．
B．It has been a wealthy andartistic city throughout the history．
C．Foreign visitors have broughtmore damage to it than foreign armies have．
D．The ancient Venetians were foolish enough to build it in such a place．
57．By writing this passage，the author actually means toB
A．a(chǎn)dvise tourists to remove Venice from their tour lists
B．introduce to tourists some unique informs，tion about Venice

20．You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not．Happiness is a choice．
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy．That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage．I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness．I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions．I learned that you have to choose to be happy．
You can choose your emotions （情緒）．Happiness can't be forced by outside forces．So how do you choose happiness？You can choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit．You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life．
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good．You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well，right？So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good？
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up （or even choosing to be calm） can be beneficial．We choose our feelings and no one can do that for us．If we let others get to us，influence our emotions-we are giving them power over us．When others cause us anger or pain，we are giving them our power．
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us．We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does．
Remember that we can always choose happiness．At first it will be difficult to just change your thoughts and feelings from anger，self-doubt，or fear to joy and happiness．But it is only a thought away．Don't think about what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way．Realize that thoughts，feelings and emotions can change．Then move on and choose to be happy．
66．What's the best title of this passage？C
A．Ways to Be Happy                     
B．Choose Your Emotions
C．Choose to Be Happy                       
D．Find Your Happiness
67．The lesson the writer learned in her marriage isA．
A．one can't depend on someone else to make himself or herself happy
B．balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an art
C．she can depend on her husband to find happiness
D．happiness can be influenced by outside forces
68．Why did the writer mention buying shoes？B
A．To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes．
B．To use it as an example to explain the importance of choosing to be happy．
C．To consider it as a hard job．
D．To help to move to the next paragraph easily．
69．The writer suggests that we shouldC．
A．let others control our feelings          
B．give answers immediately to others'words
