【解析】文章介紹了美國中學生慶祝畢業(yè)典禮的有關(guān)情況。畢業(yè)典禮在每年的五月底或六月初舉行，學生會收到畢業(yè)文憑，畢業(yè)典禮后，便是畢業(yè)舞會等。

【1】importance考查名詞。句意：在美國，高中畢業(yè)典禮是非常重要的。Be of +抽象名詞，of短語相當于這個名詞的同根形容詞，作為表語表示主語的性質(zhì)或特征�！�of great importance”相當于very important，故填importance。

【2】attending考查動詞ing形式。句意：12年級的學生，或者是年齡在17或18歲的大四學生，期待著參加這個活動。Look forward to doing something，意為“期待做某事”，to是介詞，其后應(yīng)該接名詞、動名詞或代詞。故填attending。

【3】includes考查謂語動詞。句意：畢業(yè)典禮本身將在5月底或6月初舉行，通常包括音樂頒獎典禮和嘉賓演講。Which指代的是ceremony與include之間是主謂關(guān)系，因為是一般現(xiàn)在是，所以用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故填includes。

【4】before考查連詞。句意：在畢業(yè)典禮舉行之前很長一段時間，學生們就開始準備了。根據(jù)start preparing for graduation a long time 和it happens在時間上的邏輯關(guān)系可知，此處指在畢業(yè)典禮舉行之前的很長一段時間，學生們就開始準備了。根據(jù)句意，用連詞before，故填before。

【5】specially考查副詞。句意：他們訂購專門為他們的班級設(shè)計的戒指。Design是動詞，用副詞修飾，故填specially。

【6】taken考查過去分詞。句意：另一個傳統(tǒng)是拍照。Photographs與take之間是動賓關(guān)系，用過去分詞做賓語補足語。故填taken。

【7】for考查固定搭配。句意：這些照片被用于班級年鑒。Be used for被用來做某事，故填for。

【8】an考查冠詞。句意：這些卡片通常包括典禮的邀請。Invitation意為“邀請”，是可數(shù)名詞，因讀音以元音開頭，單數(shù)形式其前要加不定冠詞an，故填an。

【9】or考查連詞。句意：你應(yīng)該送一份禮物或者錢給研究生。Or是連詞“或者”，故填or。

【10】families考查名詞的數(shù)。句意：儀式結(jié)束后，家庭通常會為朋友和親戚舉辦畢業(yè)派對。根據(jù)謂語動詞have，可以判斷主語是復數(shù)形式，family是可數(shù)名詞，復數(shù)為families。故填families。

【題目】At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you’d call a perfect farm. But it was mine.

I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.

I wouldn’t say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some tools, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”

Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!

I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.

【1】Why did the writer buy the Missouri farm?

A. To marry a nice girl.

B. To live a liberating life.

C. To have his own land.

D. To earn more profit.

【2】What was Claudette when the writer met her?

A. A manager. B. A storekeeper.

C. A housekeeper. D. A shop assistant.

【3】What can we learn about the Missouri farm?

A. It was well furnished.

B. It led to a happy marriage.

C. It was 40 acres.

D. It made a successful farmer.

【題目】閱讀下列材料，然后按要求完成材料后面的三個小題。
Dear Doctor,
My husband and I got married in 1990 and for the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and bring up our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband agreed and helped me to make my decision. He said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job—working for a small public company. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company.”
But as his joke was becoming true, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions (升職) and pay increases, and I can earn more money than he can. I can buy my own clothes and new car.
But things begin to change. My husband is not happy. My husband is very unkind to me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think our marriage may come to an end. I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel bad, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how. Can't you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help me.
Mary
