7．I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly．
This year，a very sweet old lady that I cared for，Alice，had gone through a difficult time．She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice．In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home"．
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days．When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen，she was very sad．Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy，I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve，I gave her a surprise by asking if she could like to go to a candlelight service at church that night
Instead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were．We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in．Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her．
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there．
The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift：the smile on Alice's face
25．The underlined word"dementia"in Paragraph 2probably isC
A．a(chǎn) house    B．a(chǎn) letter    C．a(chǎn)n illness  D．a(chǎn) plan
26．Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story？B
A．In her old house    
B．In her old neighborhood church．
C．In the nursing home．
D．In the hospital．
27．What was the best gift that the author got on Christmas Eve？C
A．The candlelight service．    
B．Praise from Alice's friends．
C．Alice's happiness 
D．Thanks from Alice's daughter．
28．What is the best title for this passage？A
A．A special candlelight Christmas Eve    
B．The dream of all old lonely lady
C．My special job 
D．The true love．

分析 本文大意：我看護的一個老太太生病住院了兩次，她認為她的女兒會在圣誕節(jié)來看望她，但在圣誕節(jié)后來看她的消息沒有讓她開心．在圣誕前夕，我以問她是否想那晚在教堂來個燭光禮拜的方式給她個驚喜，我?guī)チ怂信笥讯荚诘哪莻�老社區(qū)，不久一些她的朋友就來了，跑過來向她問候并和她坐在一起．這個故事的真相是我是收到最好禮物的人，艾麗絲臉上的微笑．

解答 25-28 CBCA
25．答案 C 推斷題．劃線詞所在句"She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice．"句意為"她得了 _____ 所以她去了兩次醫(yī)院"，由此可推知，"dementia"應(yīng)是一種疾病，所以她才去醫(yī)院治療．故正確答案為C．
26：答案 B 細節(jié)題．由倒數(shù)第三段第一句"Instead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were．"可知，作者把老人帶到了她的 old neighborhood church．故正確答案為B．
27：答案 C 細節(jié)題．由最后一段中的"I am the one who got the best gift：the smile on Alice's face"可知，作者得到的最好禮物是 Alice 洋溢在臉上的微笑，即 Alice 的快樂是作者得到的最好禮物．故正確答案為C．
28：答案 A  主旨題．文章主要講述了作者在平安夜幫助一位老人獲得快樂的故事，"Christmas Eve"為全文主要線索，所以A項適合作為本文標題．B項，"所有孤獨老人的夢想"，不符合文章主要內(nèi)容，所以B項錯誤．C項，"我的特殊工作"，不能反映文章主要內(nèi)容，所以C項錯誤．D項，"真正的愛"，不能反映文章主要內(nèi)容，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為A．

點評 英語記敘文以描寫敘述為主，主要描寫人物、事件、地點、或過程．特點是，其主題往往潛伏在字里行間，沒有直接地表白出來；文章主旨要透過體察所揭示的人物、事件來進行提煉．描寫手法大多按時間跨度、空間順序、上下順序來展開．閱讀記敘文體應(yīng)采取掠讀和掃讀的方法，快速抓住文中描寫的主要內(nèi)容，從整體上去把握文章的連貫性，進而大體上揣測出作者的寫作意圖及情感主線．高考閱讀就記敘文設(shè)題大多以細節(jié)理解為主．

12．When I was 10 years old，I tried out for the cheerleading squad．I had taken gymnastics classes for two years to prepare for these tryouts．However，I didn't make the team．It was a heavy blow to me．I cried all night．
Kids today won't experience that kind of rejection．They're growing up in"everybody gets a turn"world where every child gets a chance to kick the ball，sing the song，and win the award．But that's not always such a good thing．
Parents have become fearful of letting kids fail，thinking that our children are easily hurt and will never recover from anything-that's a serious problem．Last week，my 7-year-old daughter didn't get into the school play．At first，I was upset by it．How would she react？When I gave her the news，I was ready to hug her and cry with her．She looked at me，made a slight face and said，"That's too bad．What's for dinner？"
It clearly wasn't the end of her world．Maybe if we let our kids experience rejection once in a while，we'd realize they are much stronger than we think．Kids need to be able to handle disappointments； doing so helps them to prepare for real life．Most importantly，rejection carries the possibility not only for growth and can also motivate kids to try harder the next time．
Rejection is pain．There is no way around that．How will our kids ever discover their true talents if we don't let them？Instead of complaining，maybe we should consider rejection an opportunity．

24．The author shared her childhood story with readers toC．
A．show how her parents attached importance to her education
B．suggest how difficult it was for her to join a cheerleader squad
C．introduce the topic of how to let kids face rejection in life
D．explain why children are easily hurt in the process of their growth
25．When failing to get into the school play，the author's 7-year-old daughterD．
A．felt greatly disappointed              
B．was upset about it
C．cried all night                      
D．thought nothing of it
26.1n the author's opinion，rejectionB．
A．is something that can be avoided in life
B．is good for the growth of the children
C．discourages children from learning new things
D．causes children to lose their confidence
27．What is important when we face rejection according to the last paragraph？A
A．Attitude．
B．Interest．
C．Health．
D．Memory．

19．It does not matter who wins．We are told that from day one．Usually，that statement is followed by some remark about being a loser．If we do not care who wins，then why do we compete？Fun，experience，the chance to meet new people---these are the reasons we try to outdo each other．
       People will compete over anything．Every Christmas，my neighbors and I have a little Christmas light competition．It is heaven for the electric company，but I think we give Will Rogers Airport a scare．It is bright enough to land a plane in our front yards．I admit that last year my neighbors won，but only because they bought every strand of lights Wal-Mart had before I could get there．
Personal competitions are great，but we get a little carried away．I cannot stand to see coaches shout at kids playing sports．Who cares if someone messes up and the other team advances？
       I'm tired of people competing just to win．It happens not only in sports，but in music competitions，too．People auditioning（試音）for chair placement in certain bands can get really unfriendly．This year I did not audition for a certain band，but I went to auditions anyway．This was the first time I actually had the opportunity to comprehend the whole picture．
       Other times I've been the person who was nervous and anxious．This time，I sat back and observed everyone else．I came to the realization that the people who aren't so good are terrified of the good people，and the good people are scared stiff that the bad people have taken lessons and can now show them up．Unless a person is on the outside looking in，I don't think anyone realizes this．
       Maybe competing is human nature，but we shouldn't let it influence our judgment．Being disrespectful to opponents（對手），letting competition become our life，and becoming so involved that we close ourselves off from friends and family is not the meaning of competition．
       A little competition is healthy，so it shouldn't hurt anyone．If it does，someone somewhere needs to back off，find the good thing hidden inside，and try it again．Winning isn't everything，and losing isn't the end of the world．
 
63．The author mentions his competition with his neighbors toD．
A．make excuses for his failure                        
B．express his concern about the airport
C．imply his neighbor cheated in the competition
D．show people really care about the result of competition
64．The underlined word"this"in Paragraph 5 refers toD．
A．the rules of competition                    
B．competitors'effort to win   
C．the influence of competition on life
D．the negative attitude to competition        
65．From the passage，we can learn thatB．
A．the author failed the audition
B．competitors may be unfriendly to each other
C．it is coaches who always mess up the match
D．those who observe opponents calmly always win
66．Which of the following opinions does the author probably accept？C
A．Competition for the job is fierce．
B．Winning or losing is none of people's concern．
C．Competition is healthy，but it can get out of hand．
D．The disadvantages of competition outweigh the benefits．
