Michelle is blind, but she makes such good use of her other senses that guests rarely realize that she is blind.
When my daughter Kayla came back from her home, she was very  1  about her day. She told me that she had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project. “I learned how to   2  colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! Michelle   3 with us too. She said she liked how the paint feels through her fingers,” said Kayla.
Something about my child’s excitement caught my   4 . this made me sit down and take a look at my child and at myself.
Then Kayla said, “Michelle told me my picture showed joy,   5  and a sense of accomplishment. She   6 saw what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger-painting felt until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
This is when I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never   7   in conversation. When I told her, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn’t   8  me. “ But mommy, Michelle understood exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla insisted. I knew my child was   9 because Michelle had listened to Kayla when she  10  her artwork. Michelle had listened to Kayla’s pride in her work, and her wonder at her discovery of the way colors blend.

本文講述的是一個名叫Michelle的盲人婦女利用自己的細心和耐心，在和人們，尤其是孩子的相處中和正常人無異，告訴我們，只要用心，沒有什么我們克服不了的。
小題1:考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。后文出現(xiàn)的內容，都是表示excited，所以可以據此推出答案。
小題2:考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。由Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green!知道這里表示混合。
小題3:考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。根據文章前面內容She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects以及該句后面的too可知Michelle和Kayla共同畫畫。
小題4:考查名詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。catch one’s attention“吸引注意力”，孩子如此的興奮吸引了我的注意力。。
小題5:考查名詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。后文Michelle had also heard Kayla’s pride in her work中pride以及joy, a sense of accomplishment為判斷依據。
小題6:考查副詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。前文Michelle told me my picture showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment可以看出Michelle了解Kayla的作品。但是saw和后文的without looking at her paper是相反的，所以Kayla感覺Michelle真地能看到。
小題7:考查動詞詞組辨析和語境的理解。come around恢復知覺,回來；come across偶遇；come through經歷, 脫險；come up走近, 上來, 發(fā)芽,。由本句中的never 和in conversation說明從未討論過此事，所以用動詞come up。
小題8:考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。由下文知道Kayla不相信母親的話。
小題9:考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。對于孩子提出問題，母親也有同感。
小題10:考查動詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。前文She makes such good use of her other senses。后文的listened to和heard即是senses的內容。傾聽是動作的過程，所以是傾聽描述的內容

After my blow up, we felt like we were  32  all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the lime. We discuss things now and I always  33  my feelings with her.
If you adopt Lose-Win as your basic  34  toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be  35  your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier---the shark(鯊魚).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.
If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.
Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.
Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模擬) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
小題1:The passage is most probably taken from _____.
A．a short-story collectionB．a popular science magazine
C．a research paperD．a personal diary
小題2:What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?
A．Sharks may be used to predict bad weather.

小題3:Lauren Smith conducted her research by _______.
A．removing hair cells from a shark’s balance system
B．measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
C．recording sharks’ body temperature
D．monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(騾子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)　us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.
The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻轉)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.
小題1:Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A．They made a careful preparation before the trip
B．They children were more joyful than their parents.
C．Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
D．The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
小題2:The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means            .
A．we were weakB．we were unhappy
C．we were dissatisfiedD．we were disappointed
小題3:Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?
A．It proved to be frightening.B．It was more comfortable
C．It turned out to be excitingD．It made each of them tired.
小題4:We can infer from the passage that          .
A．experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way
B．one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.
C．the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.
D．the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven ye ars old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.
I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea (杜鵑花) bushes strewn around the orphanage.
I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.
How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.
Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo (用"噓"聲趕走,嚇走)them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.
1. According to the passage, how did the author find the orphanage?
A. A favorable place to live.                B. A bad place to live.
C. A comfortable place for butterflies.  D. A favorable place for the old.
2. How did the people go to their meals?
A. By car.              B. On foot.            C. Queuing in two ways.              D. Any way they wanted.
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. I love everything of beauty when I was old.
B. The people in the orphanage stand in line doing everything.
C. The azalea bushes were planted by the people living in the orphanage.
D. I shooed the butterflies away because I didn’t want them to be killed.
4. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A. I love beauty when I was about six or seven years old.
B. I became old very soon in the orphanage.
C. I had a very pleasant time in the orphanage.
D. I was tired with the life the way I lived in the orphanage.
5. What does the author think of the house parent?
A. Pitiless.             B. Kind.                C. Lovable.                          D. Beautiful.
