2．Two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict（沖突）．It was the first serious quarrel between them in 30years of farming peacefully side by side，sharing machinery，and trading labor and goods as needed．It began with a small misunderstanding and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence．
One morning there was a knock on John's door．He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's tool box．He said，"Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with？Could I help you？""Yes，"said John，"Look across the small river at that farm．That's my neighbor； in fact，it's my younger brother．See that pile of wood？I want you to build me a fence-an 8-foot fence-so I won't need to see his place or his face any more．"
The carpenter said，"I think I understand the situation．Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you．"
John had to go to town，so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day．The carpenter worked hard all that day，measuring，sawing and nailing．About sunset when John returned，the carpenter had just finished his job．
John's eyes opened wide，his jaw dropped．There was no fence there at all．It was a bridge-a bridge stretching from one side of the river to the other!At the same time，his younger brother was coming toward them，his hand outstretched．The two brothers met in the middle，taking each other's hand．
They turned to see the carpenter putting his toolbox onto his shoulder．"No，wait!Stay a few days．I've a lot of other projects for you，"said John．"I'd love to stay on，"the carpenter said，"but I have many more bridges to build．"
24．On seeing what the carpenter had built，JohnD．
A．was very satisfied                B．showed thanks to him
C．fired him at once                 D．was in great surprise
25．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply（暗示）？C
A．The carpenter made an excuse to leave．
B．The carpenter was good at building bridges．
C．There are still too many conflicts among people．
D．Many people would like to employ the carpenter．
26．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
A．it took the carpenter an hour to finish his work
B．the two brothers were likely to be middle-aged
C．the carpenter built a stone bridge over the river
D．John didn't help the carpenter with his work at all．

分析 這是一篇寓意很深的記敘文：一個聰明又樂于助人的木匠使產(chǎn)生沖突的兄弟倆和好如初，化干戈為玉帛．

解答 24．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段John's eyes opened wide，his jaw dropped．There was no fence there at all．It was a bridge可知約翰看到木匠的作品是很驚訝的；故選D．
25．C．句意理解題．根據(jù)最后一段I'd love to stay on，"the carpenter said，"but I have many more bridges to build可知人們之間仍然有太多的沖突；故選C．
26．B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段It was the first serious quarrel between them in 30years of farming peacefully side by side，sharing machinery，and trading labor and goods as needed可知這是他們30年來的第一次激烈的爭吵；即都已人到中年；故選B．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

17．I look in the mirror，and I'm not happy with what I see．I don't have a"perfect"face．I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair，blue eyes，and，of course，a pretty little nose．They're on the outside of the buses that I take home，the television programs I watch，and the billboards（廣告牌）I walk under．Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical"perfection"．These billboards not only tell me what to drink，but also how to look．
    Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty，rather than their ability，honesty and character．We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（手術）and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model．To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother．It means you have the perfect jaw，eyes and lips．It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds．
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth？Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom，we try to prevent the aging process （過程）．It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty．Fifty is a relaxed age，when you can step back and look at all you've achieved（successfully complete something）．It is when your hard work pays off．Unfortunately，our society just sees you as"old"．To stop the aging process，women buy wrinkle（皺紋）creams，do eye lifts and face lifts．They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age．
    I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens，I had oily hair，and a half develo ped body．I hated the way I looked．I used to cry to my mother all the time，but she would just laugh and tell me that"you don't want anyone to like your appearance．It's your heart that is important，because beauty fades（消逝）．"I knew that she was right．If you work on your heart enough，people will start to see the beauty in you，which lasts and remains on even after you die．
25．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatC．
A．the author doesn't have a perfect face
B．women have to look beautiful
C．photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
D．there are too many beauties in daily life
26．What's the author's attitude towards being"old"？B
A．It's a pity that people have to get old．
B．It's a fruitful and wise time．
C．It's stupid to try to stay young．
D．It's a pity that society looks down upon the old．
27．It isDthat regard（s） the physical beauty as more important．
A．women themselves                    
B．the author's parents
C．newspapers and magazines                
D．society
28．What's the author's opinion about beauty？C
A．The author doesn't like the beauties our society values．
B．It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not．
C．It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty．
D．The author feels appearance is important to a person．

7．It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve．So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school？
Japan   High schools have canteens，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not burgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，pickles （泡菜） and vegetables．
Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value．Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food．The class with the fewest leftovers （剩飯 ）  at the end of the month receives a prize．
The United States  A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，lettuce and pickles，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances （定量 ）  of protein，vitamin A，vitamin C，iron，calcium  （鈣） and calories．
Australia  Meat pies，sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children's health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．
Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red-labelled foods，including pastries，chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi （壽司），sandwiches，corn and watermelon，however，are available every day．
In some schools，students have a choice of up t0 89foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．
South Africa   Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at l：30p．m．a(chǎn)nd students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sandwiches．
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes．

32．What does the underlined word"obesity"in the last paragraph probably mean？D
A．Violence．  B．Sadness．  C．Famine．  D．Overweight．
33．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．a(chǎn) typical menu from a US school consists of enough nutrition
B．most students in South Africa eat their lunch at home
C．many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school
D．you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan
34．What is the main idea of the passage？B
A．Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students．
B．Schools serve different foods from country to country．
C．Food served in America is the best of all．
D．School children all over the world dislike their school food．
35．The article is meant forC．

14．Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world．We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside．The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk．When joggers jog，they don't run in the streets．Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river．
But despite this，our children are growing up nature deprived（剝奪）．I spent my boyhood climbing trees．These days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found．
The truth is to be found elsewhere．A study in the US：families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（多動癥）．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%； those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%．
ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood．One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children．However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places．
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature．The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years．And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality．Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world．
We need the wild world．It is essential to our well-being，our health and our happiness．
39．According to the author，people enjoyB to seek nature．
A．jogging on the street
B．sitting in the garden
C．shopping in the supermarket
D．running in the gym
40．From the second paragraph，we can see thatC．
A．a(chǎn)dults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature
B．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children
C．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays
D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction
41．In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature？B
A．Children with ADHD can be cured．
B．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life．
C．Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved．
D．Children's performance at school is greatly improved．
42．What is the main idea of this passage？A
A．Access to nature improves our life．
B．Nature treats children with ADHD．
C．Getting close to nature reduces crime．
D．Man can't live without natural areas．

11．It was an extremely hot day．My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr．Blickez's farm and through some woods，because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down．
The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean （兇暴的） Hereford bull （公牛）．Mr．Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in town，maybe even in the county and we believed in him．But the hotter it got，the more we thought there was something fishy about what he said．For one thing，we remembered Mr．Blickez liked telling tall tales； for another，Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull．Finally，I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm，and Mr．Blickez agreed．
On our way across the farm，we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole．The sun shone brightly across the cool waters．We couldn't wait to get there．Suddenly，Walt shouted loudly．Elsie had run to him and was licking （舔） his back．I immediately hid under the fence．However，when I looked up，I saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull at all．She was just a friendly young cow，and she was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still．
When we discovered the truth，we were so happy．We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in．The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed．After that day，we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called"big mean bull"．

25．What's the meaning of the underline word"fishy"in Paragraph 2？A
A．Doubtful．       B．Interesting．
C．Funny．          D．Believable．
26．What was the problem faced by the author and his brother？D
A．They didn't know where to swim．
B．They didn't know how to get to the stream．
C．Their mother didn't want them to swim．
D．They had to face a very mean bull．
27．When Elsie saw the author's brother，sheB．
A．tried to attack him   B．showed her friendliness
C．immediately ran away  D．tried to drive him away

A．The bull guarding Mr．Blickez's farm．
B．How friendly the so-called mean bull was．
C．The story of visiting the swimming hole．
D．How the author changed his attitude to Joanie．
