小題1:考查副詞。第一句就交代作者去美國(guó)，從后文我們可以得出作者是一個(gè)英國(guó)人，且又提到他到法國(guó)。所以應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。這不是我第一次出國(guó)�！　�
小題2:考查介詞。 在學(xué)校讀書(shū)用介詞at。
小題3:考查use的用法。從文中可知他經(jīng)常出國(guó)，所以應(yīng)是他習(xí)慣說(shuō)外語(yǔ)。
小題4:考查名詞。該題根據(jù)上下文判斷。因?yàn)槲叶⒄Z(yǔ), 因此我能夠與那些不懂法語(yǔ)的人講話。
小題5:考查連詞。在去美國(guó)之時(shí)，且went是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。
小題6:考查動(dòng)詞。度過(guò)一個(gè)輕松愉快的假期。have a holiday度假。
小題7:考查名詞。到外國(guó)去存在的就是語(yǔ)言問(wèn)題。
小題8:考查感嘆句。 用形容詞作中心詞的感嘆句就只能用how修飾。
小題9:考查動(dòng)詞。誤會(huì)是在機(jī)場(chǎng)開(kāi)始的。此處用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞�！�
小題10:考查形容詞。a public telephone意為“公用電話”。
小題11:考查名詞。我們從上文可以知道作者是想在公用電話亭打個(gè)電話。
小題12:考查形容詞。他愿主動(dòng)提供幫助，說(shuō)明他是一個(gè)非常友好的人。
小題13:考查連詞。問(wèn)作者他是否能提供一些幫助。

小題15:作者感到莫名其妙，所以問(wèn)誰(shuí)要結(jié)婚。
小題16:考查連詞。作者是要找一個(gè)公用電話亭，所以應(yīng)是問(wèn)在哪里有公用電話亭。　　
小題17:考查名詞。朋友敘述的是開(kāi)始遇到了很多麻煩，而trouble是不可數(shù)名詞，應(yīng)排除。
小題18:考查動(dòng)詞。該題根據(jù)上下文判斷。上文中所出現(xiàn)的情況是語(yǔ)言使用習(xí)慣的問(wèn)題, 因此Danny說(shuō)美國(guó)人用的許多單詞在意思上與英國(guó)人不同。
小題19:考查形容詞。該題根據(jù)上下文判斷。從下句Most of the  55  British and American people understand each other！可以看出, Danny對(duì)“我”說(shuō)“我”不久就會(huì)習(xí)慣他們所講的一切有趣的東西。
小題20:考查名詞。該題根據(jù)上下文判斷。大多數(shù)時(shí)候, 美國(guó)人和英國(guó)人能彼此理解。

John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-meter-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
“I love the space, and being private,” Elizabeth says. “You feel separated from the world. If I am in the kitchen, which is 25 meters above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don’t have to answer it because visitors can’t see I am in!”
There are 142 steps to the top so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it’s very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Except for that, it’s a brilliant place to live.
“When we first saw the place, I asked my father’s advice about buying it, because we couldn’t decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.”
“Living here can be difficult—yesterday I climbed a four-meter ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to the sea on a clear day, and that’s a wonderful experience. I am really glad we moved. ”
小題1:What is the writer trying to do in the text?

Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions mean to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was impossible.
On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.
小題1:This selection says that Thomas Edison ________.
A．was the only important American inventor
B．received the first American patent
C．received more patents than any other American
D．was the first American inventor
小題2:People decided to honor Edison when ________.
A．he made the first electric light
B．electric power was 100 years
C．the country realized electricity's importance

小題3:The suggested plan was to ________.
A．turn off the lights in factories and schools
B．observe a few minutes of total silence

Ginny Ruffner is one of the best-known glass artists in the United States. Her one-of-a-kind pieces are colorful, detailed and often humorous. Over the years, she became famous for a method called lamp working, also known as flame working. It involves using a torch to melt and shape the glass instead of blowing on it.
Ginny Ruffner almost died in a three-car accident in 1991. No one thought the Seattle-based artist would ever walk or talk again. An award-winning(優(yōu)等的) film documentary explores that period of her life. "It's scary when you can't talk, you can't do... all your life." said Ruffner.
Ms. Ruffner was in a coma(昏迷) for five weeks and a wheelchair for five years. But she overcame her injuries. And although she still has difficulty walking and talking, she has willed herself back to work. Now, she has a team that helps bring her dream to life.

Ms. Ruffner says “it has been a long battle, but the hardest part has not been the physical problems. I hate being taken for granted, being ignored. The way I talk, people assume that I'm either really old, or kind of retarded(智力遲鈍的), and that is so frustrating."
But she is firm. She says "Fortunately I've done a lot of stuff in my life, so I know that the best thing is to be open to the mystery, who knows what great things will happen. I'm sure they're many more to come."
Ginny Ruffner's art can be seen in more than forty museums around the world. Her work and her life continue to motivate people of all ages.
