Mrs Smith 在一次演講中,不慎將手表“遺失”,其后校長智查丟失手表。
1. D。因史密斯太太在演講前,是把表“放”(laid)在桌上。
2. A。從語境看,這里意思是說:我們正要(be about to)…,這時(when)…。請注意其后的 when 一詞在這里的含義和作用。
3. B。因為校長是要把孩子們召集起來(call us together),以便叫他們?nèi)ァ罢摇眮G失的手表。
4. C。校長叫孩子們?nèi)プ鲆患禄蚬ぷ?job),即“找手表”。
5. A
6. C。校長知道這表是某個孩子偷去了,但又不知道具體是哪一個,所以他假裝說這表是史密斯太太不慎丟了,叫孩子們幫她找一找。為了使孩子們更加相信,校長又說:這表只是從史密斯太太手腕中不知不覺地“滑”(slips)下去的,并且說這事“以前”(before)也發(fā)生過。
7. B。這里 See =" Let’s" see。
8. C。注意搭配 make sth clear (表明清楚),原句中 it 的是形式賓語,其真正的賓語是后面的(that) the boy who does so will get a useful reward.
9. D。這里的 do so 是指前面提到的 to find it(the watch)。
10. A。因當(dāng)時孩子們沒搞清校長的實(shí)際意思,以為是真的要他們從地上去找表,并認(rèn)為找到表者真的有獎,所以都開始找表,并希望自己有幸(lucky)找到這塊手表。
11. D。這里指 Jim 假裝彎腰撿(pick up)東西。請注意這句中的 as if(好像)對整篇短文的影響。既然是彎腰好像(as if)撿東西,那么實(shí)際就不是真的撿東西,所以他后來交給老師的手表就不是撿的,而是偷的。
12. B / 13. B。此處的語境是:Jim“撿”起手表,然后(the next moment) 就滿面笑容地(all smiles)跑到史密斯太太面前,將表交給(turning in)了她。
14. A /15.C。這里請注意 however(但是), in fact(事實(shí)上),angry(生氣的)等這些關(guān)鍵性的語境詞。按照一般常識,你丟了東西,別人撿到東西交給你,你應(yīng)該表示感謝和高興。由于本句用了 however 這個詞表示轉(zhuǎn)折,所以這里的 Mrs Smith 并不高興(not...pleased),甚至看起來還很生氣(angry)。也正因為有了這樣的上文,所以才有這樣的下文:Mrs Smith把表拿走“甚至”(even)連謝謝都沒說一句。至此我們再聯(lián)系前文:校長和史密斯太太不是不知道這表是被偷去的,他們用了這樣一個計謀,現(xiàn)在使吉姆乖乖地把表交出來。這樣一來,前后的意思也就順理成章了。
16. D。注意前文提供的語境:Let’s make it clear the boy who does so will get a useful reward.
17. C。這里選D顯然不合語境要求,而 A、B 兩個答案與后面的不定式 to write... 不能搭配。
18. B。這里的 on 意為“關(guān)于”。
19. A。這里的 poor 意為“可憐”,聯(lián)系上文,這是顯然的最佳答案。
20. D。subject 在這里指 the dangers of smoking 這個“主題”。

Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.
This chance discovery ended a 12day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure -- a 120-page -diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green, the librarian told the magazine America Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English.
The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary to his ancestor (祖先) to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoor was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.
Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “I've felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told reporters.
According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward (獎勵) of $1 000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It's wonderful news. I'm on high.”
51. This article mainly tells about the story of _______.
A. a lost diary                                           B. Deborah Longan
C. Cory Luxmoore                                   D. the Library Company
52. From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by _______.
A. Tom Brennan                                             B. an unknown person
C. a Philadelphia magazine                       D. the Library Company of Philadelphia
53. Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because _______.
A. it was written in Philadelphia                 B. it tells stories about Philadelphia
C. people in the city are interested in old things
D. the British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia
54. Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?
a -- Tom Brennan found the book in an office building.
b -- The book was shown to James Green.
c -- Cory Luxmoore arrived from England.
d -- The book was left behind in a taxi.
A. a, b, c, d         B. c, b, d, a                 C. a, c, d, b                        D. c, a, b, d
55. What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said “I'm on high”?
A. I'm rich                    B. I'm famous                    C. I'm excited                    D. I'm lucky

In the very early  1800’ s, a young boy about 14 years old named John lived in an orphanage (孤兒院) in Old England along with several other children. Orphan meant unwanted and unloved.
Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn’t work and received a gift, an orange. Usually they tried to taste and preserve it for so long that it often rotted before they ever peeled(剝開)it to enjoy the sweet juice. Many thought were expressed as Christmas time approached. The children would say, “I will keep mine the longest.” John usually slept with his next to his pillow. This year John was overjoyed by the Christmas season. He was becoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave. He would save his orange until his birthday in July.
Christmas day finally came. The children were so excited as they entered the big dining hall. Immediately the master shouted, “John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you this year.” John’s heart broke violently wide open. He turned and went swiftly back to the cold room. Then he heard the door open and each of the children entered. Little Elizabeth with her hair falling over her shoulders, a smile on her face, and tears in her eyes held out a piece of rag to John. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As he lifted back the edges of the rag he saw a big juicy orange all peeled and quartered and then he realized what they had done.

My parents were in a huge argument, and 1 was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to gelling out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, "Great opportunity."
"What is?" I asked.
"To talk, you and I" he said. "To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in."
"But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa," I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same "boat" as I was.
And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting Acre in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be — suddenly, the lights all came hack on. "Well," he said, "I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!"

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look. 71. __________
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. 72. ____________    
But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students' freedom— or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
73. _________ “We do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “but extremes (極端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
74._________ Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. 75._______________ “I don't really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B.A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
