Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路溝) along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.
Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel(釬) one year to be used for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”
A week ago we            that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(腦瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked.
I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

試題分析:
小題1:根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段“you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.””可知,作者喜歡那種藍(lán)色的野花,但因?yàn)榕K衣服而沒有把它移到自己家的花園,當(dāng)藍(lán)花消失之后,作者后悔自己沒有早點(diǎn)行動。作者再告訴我們“不要等到失去了才知道珍惜,要抓住每一個珍貴的機(jī)會”。故填Don’t Wait Until Flowers Fade (the Chance Lost) /Don’t Lose (Grasp) the Chance to Do What You Want to / Lost Chance Never Returns。
(評分要求:依據(jù)與文章整體內(nèi)容的相關(guān)程度酌情給分,關(guān)鍵詞wait/lose chance。題目格式自擬)
小題2:作者把藍(lán)花和與作者丈夫姐姐得了腦瘤聯(lián)系起來,根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段“I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches”可知,得知作者丈夫的姐姐得了腦瘤,作者夫婦感到震驚,并因未能及時看望嫂子而感到遺憾,故填Were shocked and saddened to know / learn / hear。
(評分要求:要求給出的答案能保持上下文的連貫性,而且與參考答案的意思相近)
小題3:所給句子的意思是“我多么希望當(dāng)時停下來把它們挖走啊,但始終沒有那樣做”。根據(jù)第四段“Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them.”可知,由于種種原因,作者沒有把藍(lán)色的花挖走。故填Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them.。
(評分要求:要求準(zhǔn)確找出以上的句子)
小題4:can’t help but do sth情不自禁做某事,作者不由地由藍(lán)花想到了丈夫姐姐得腦瘤這件事。故填:我禁不住由那些美麗的藍(lán)花聯(lián)想到我們與丈夫的姐姐之間的關(guān)系。
(評分要求:要求在準(zhǔn)確、全面的基礎(chǔ)上,翻譯成較為通順的漢語,并表達(dá)出作者的思路)
小題5:文章告訴我們一個這樣的道理:機(jī)會是留給有準(zhǔn)備的人的,我們應(yīng)該抓住來之不易的機(jī)會去做想做的事情,而不應(yīng)等到失去機(jī)會之后追悔莫及。故填We should grasp every chance to do what we want to instead of hesitation.。

Big storms. High waves. Technical failure. Loneliness. After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo(單獨(dú)) around the world.
The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal (巴拿馬運(yùn)河) and then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.

Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at age 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake.  Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.
On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.
"We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees , "  he said.
"It felt like I was going right over.  Stuff was flying around and I just thought ' Oh no' .  "
At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives undemeath (在......之下) the boat to cut a rope away.
Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true.  " You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it," he said.

[1]E-mail may be the most important, unique method for communicating and developing relationships since the telephone.First of all, ____________.Anyone who can use a word processor can also write an e-mail message without difficulty.Secondly, it saves time and money.It costs nothing more than your time.No paper expense, no postage and no envelope expense.People also find it familiar and safe because it is similar in many respects to writing letters but avoids the annoyances of addressing envelopes, licking stamps, and trips to the mailbox.
[2] Of all the methods for developing relationships on the Internet, e-mail is the most common and perhaps the most powerful.Although friendships and romances may indeed begin in chat rooms, instant messages, blogs, or other online tools improve greatly by becoming more effectively visual and auditory(聽覺的), as in video teleconferencing, e-mail will not disappear.Many people will prefer it because it is a non-visual and non-auditory form of communication.After all, we don’t see people rushing out to buy video equipment to add it to their telephone.

閱讀下面短文,并按照題目要求用英語問答問題(請注意問題后詞數(shù)要求)。
It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem—I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.
No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience 'nomophobia', the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more 'nomophobic' than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businesspeople carrying their large, plastic 'bricks'.
Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?
So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all—still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging desire to check my phone.
Not having it, I felt strangely liberated. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.
小題1:What will most people suffer from when they don’t have phones with them?( One word)
                                                                             
小題2:Who suffers most without their mobiles? (Within 5 words)

[1]A new study has found evidence of aggressive behaVior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day.
[2]The mothers of 3,000 five-year-olds took part in the study.They were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period and keep records of how they behaved.The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda.Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.
[3]Children who drank the most soda were more than two times likely to show signs of aggression.“For the children who consumed four or more  soft drinks per day,we see an association between aggressive behaviors, attention problems and withdrawn behaviors.”Shakira Suglia says.The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others,taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
[4]Shakira says the researchers identified the link after they considered the factors like the child’s age and sex.They also considered     ,such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day.In addition,the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home.
[5]It is not quite clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior pmblems.However,a substance oftell found in soft drinks is caffeine,which helps to make people feel energetic.Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a terrible car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "shouldn't I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.
Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.
Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a timeout. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.
"No," the sensei insisted, "let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.
On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match.
Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of sexes”.
If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.
It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism”— but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credits nor all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.
The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is closely linked not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.
