A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting （誘人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,         a bar of chocolate if given the choice,           , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the         he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe(腳尖),         as high as he could, but even as his tallest           he was unable to touch it. He began to         up and down, as high as he could, at the         of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of        .
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to         on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to         the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking        , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or,         luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do.         seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk        . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his        , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he         like this, the more unhappy he became.
      , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted. He started to say to himself. This isn’t        . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s         more I can do to get the apple—that is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to         our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

試題分析：文章大意：小男孩在放學(xué)回家的路上看到一個(gè)又大又誘人的蘋果，本來(lái)不太喜歡吃蘋果的他卻抵制不住誘惑，越看蘋果感覺(jué)越餓。于是，小男孩想盡一切辦法想夠到蘋果，但終是沒(méi)成功。所以，他在反思，當(dāng)我們不能改變事實(shí)的時(shí)候就要學(xué)會(huì)改變我們的情感態(tài)度。
小題1:A 動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)前面的句子可知，男孩并不是很喜歡吃水果，因此如果要他選擇的話，他更喜歡（prefer）吃一塊巧克力。
小題2:C連詞辨析。根據(jù)下面的句子the forbidden fruit can be tempting. “禁果誘人”可判斷，上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇but。
小題3:C 形容詞辨析。根據(jù)下文第55個(gè)空所在的句子中出現(xiàn)的hungry一詞可判斷，此處選擇hungrier，表示“他越看那只蘋果就越覺(jué)得肚子餓”。
小題4:B 動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)47個(gè)空后面出現(xiàn)了stretch。此處是說(shuō)，為了夠到那只蘋果，小男孩踮起腳尖，盡可能把身體伸展（stretch）到最高的程度。A擴(kuò)大，擴(kuò)充，擴(kuò)展；B伸展，舒展；C擺動(dòng)，搖動(dòng)；D拉，扯，拔。
小題5:D 名詞辨析。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，小男孩是站著伸手去夠蘋果，因此此處指的是身體的高度（height），不是力量（strength）、長(zhǎng)度（length）或范圍(range)。
小題6:A 動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)生活常識(shí)可判斷，既然小男孩站著夠不到蘋果，他只能開(kāi)始上下跳躍（jump）。第47個(gè)空后面也再次出現(xiàn)了jump。
小題7:C 名詞辨析。每次跳到最高（top）的時(shí)候，小男孩就伸長(zhǎng)了胳膊去夠蘋果。at the top of在……頂部或頂端。
小題8:D 動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)下文可知，小男孩最終沒(méi)有摘到蘋果。out of reach是固定短語(yǔ)，意為“手夠不著, 達(dá)不到”。out of sight“看不見(jiàn)”。
小題9:B 動(dòng)詞辨析。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩沒(méi)有放棄，他想如果自己踩（stand）在某些東西上面就能夠到蘋果了。
小題10:A動(dòng)詞辨析。小男孩身上背著書(shū)包，可他不想弄壞里面裝的東西。break在此處表示“弄壞，折斷”。
小題11:D 副詞辨析。根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，為了找到能踩在腳下的東西，小男孩四處環(huán)顧。look around“四處環(huán)顧”。look up “向上看”；look forward“向前看”；look down“向下看”。
小題12:B 介詞辨析。小男孩希望自己能夠找到一個(gè)舊箱子，一塊大石頭，或者，如果順利的話，能找到一架梯子。for luck“為了吉利，為了祈求好運(yùn)”；with luck“如果一切順利的話”；其他兩個(gè)介詞不能與 luck搭配。
小題13:C 介詞辨析。小男孩嘗試了所有的方法，在眼看沒(méi)有（without）任何其他選擇的情況下，小男孩只好放棄了。
小題14:B副詞辨析。沒(méi)有辦法摘到蘋果，小男孩只好失望地走開(kāi)。walk away“走開(kāi)”。
小題15:C名詞辨析。根據(jù)上文可知，小男孩做了很多努力（effort），因此耗盡了力氣，覺(jué)得又累又餓。A 愿望；B信念，信仰；D目標(biāo)。
小題16:A 動(dòng)詞辨析。此處表示他越是這樣想（thought），就越覺(jué)得不開(kāi)心。
小題17:B 副詞辨析。根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，此處是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選擇however“然而，可是”。
小題18:D 形容詞辨析。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩開(kāi)始理智地看待自己遇到的問(wèn)題，覺(jué)得生氣、失望、難過(guò)等都沒(méi)有幫助（helpful），不能從根本上解決問(wèn)題。
小題19:D 代詞辨析。 結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩清醒地認(rèn)識(shí)到自己已經(jīng)沒(méi)有其他法子（nothing）可用了，蘋果也不會(huì)得到了。
小題20:A 動(dòng)詞辨析。小男孩的反省也是文章主題的升華：面對(duì)無(wú)法解決的問(wèn)題，我們可以做到的就是改變（change）自己的情感態(tài)度。

Johnny the Explorer
Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields and, two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.
By the time he was seven, Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “I just like seeing places,” Johnny told them.
Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.
It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.
In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed mathematics and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. “An explorer!” he answered. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer in this modern age,” they tried to tell him. But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!
Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper. A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were jobs for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.
小題1:At what age did Johnny board a plane for the first time?
A．ThreeB．SevenC．TwelveD．Not mentioned
小題2:Johnny frequently left home because ______.
A．he preferred to stay alone
B．he enjoyed seeing new places
C．he couldn’t do well at school
D．he didn’t get along well with his parents
小題3:People around Johnny ______.
A．tried to stop him from slipping away
B．kept following him to get him back
C．booked tickets for him if necessary
D．were clear about how he travelled abroad
小題4:From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A．Johnny worked for a daily paper
B．Johnny lacked a sense of adventure
C．Johnny went exploring along the Amazon River
D．Johnny went to Brazil two months after he finished school

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（車座）and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.
小題1:When Phil White returned from his trip, he________.
A．broke the world recordB．collected money for Oxfam
C．destroyed several bikesD．travelled about 1,300 hours
小題2:What does the word "epic" in Paragraph l most probably mean _____.
A．Very slow but exciting.B．Very long and difficult.
C．Very smooth but tiring.D．Very lonely and depressing.
小題3:During his journey around the world, Phil White _______.
A．fought heroically against robbers in Iran
B．experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C．managed to ride against the wind in Australia
D．had a team of people who travelled with him
小題4:Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?
A．Imaginative.B．Patriotic.C．Modest.D．Determined.

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine，a        was lying on the grass，reading a book with        concentration. Near her，another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was        with his back against a tree and had a        on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was       in his task, like the first child.
      the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of        while teachers wandered among them, talking to them,        them, and encouraging their efforts.
      I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it        to me that a visitor here would        have thought he had entered a formal school. He would have been even more      if he had been told that the children he was        came from different kinds of academic levels.
That        has been staying with me ever since. I have been        about some problems. Why in many schools are our children        asked to acquire skills in a way        from a real-life context（情境）? Why does a        school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said, “      of the intellectual framework (知識(shí)框架) on which we        our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Once I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.
I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn seriously counted from one to twenty in their best accent. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks, and for the rest of the evening there was general cheerful conversation—interrupted only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.
Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.
I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the choice of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to—though for some years afterwards it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.
小題1:The writer asked his friends to count from one to twenty because _______. 
A．he wanted to record the numbers for his research
B．he wanted to find out whether the tape recorder was working
C．he wanted to make his friends relax before real recording started
D．he wanted his friends to think that was all he wanted to record
小題2:The writer went into another room to ________.
A．get a natural recording of his friends’ conversation
B．stay away from too much drinking with his friends
C．bring a telephone into the front room
D．a(chǎn)nswer a long distance phone call
小題3:The writer turned off the tape-recorder because _______.
A．he had to answer a phone call
B．he wanted his friends to enjoy some drinks
C．he thought the tape-recorder might bother his friends
D．he wanted to make his friends believe he had finished the recording
小題4:Which one is true according to the passage?
A．The writer destroyed the tape.
B．The writer’s friends destroyed the tape.
C．The writer did tell his friends what had happened.
D．The writer’s friends like to drink.

I never knew how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died．I discovered something I had       forgotten, something that happened to me as a child．
One day, as I went to sleep after my sisters and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how       I had behaved toward Mother．“I must make things right now,”I thought．
Quietly I       out of bed and picked up the pencil and paper from the dresser, and then tiptoed into the hall．The       from the living room shone dimly． I knew Mother was downstairs still doing some sewing．
I quickly       a note asking Mother to excuse me for being so       ．I didn’t want my sisters to know my       so I added a postscript, “Please don’t let anyone else see this．”
Then I       moved into my parents’bedroom and put the letter under Mother’s pillow．
The next morning when I       my bed after breakfast, I       found a return note under my pillow．Mother wrote that she loved me and       me．This became my way of       whenever I talked back or disobeyed．Mother always left a return note, but she never       our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family．Even when we were       , she never mentioned them when we sisters       our childhood．
When Mother passed away, I had to go through her personal belongings．In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon．On top was a message in handwriting which read,“In the event of my death, please       these．”
I       the package and glanced at the handwriting on the bottom．To my       , I recognized my childish writing, “P．S．Please don’t let anyone else see this．Love, Edie．”I gently placed the unopened bundle in the       along with other things for the rubbish burner．“Lord,”I prayed,“Make me like       ．”
