試題分析：在一個(gè)干旱的夏天，連續(xù)一個(gè)月沒(méi)有降雨，仿佛一切都會(huì)因干旱而死亡。一天，作者看到孩子不斷地往返于房子和樹(shù)林之間，出于好奇她跟蹤前往一探究竟，原來(lái)孩子在一趟趟地給小鹿送水，作者感動(dòng)的落淚，而此時(shí)上帝似乎也被孩子的行為感動(dòng)了，恰好也降下雨來(lái)。
小題1: C動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。A. 吸收，欺騙；B. 試穿；C. 開(kāi)始做某事；D. 建立。從情理可知在一個(gè)月沒(méi)有下雨的情況下，為了保住地里種的糧食蔬菜，作者的丈夫開(kāi)始往地里運(yùn)水，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題2:B動(dòng)詞辨析。A.等； B. 提供，給予；C澆水；D.下雨。作者在下文提到兒子給小鹿送水，由此可知這是一種不求回報(bào)的給予行為，所以判斷B選項(xiàng)正確。
小題3:A連詞辨析。A當(dāng)……時(shí)候；B. 當(dāng)……時(shí)候； C. 直到……；D.在……以前。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知作者看到這件事情的時(shí)候正在廚房，when后面從句的動(dòng)詞可以是短暫性動(dòng)詞，而while后從句的動(dòng)詞必須是延續(xù)性或者表示狀態(tài)的詞，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題4:C名詞辨析。A.田野；B. 房子；C. 樹(shù)林； D.花園。根據(jù)下文…. into the woods可以判斷孩子走進(jìn)了小樹(shù)林，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題5:D動(dòng)詞辨析。A跳；  B.爬；C跌倒；D.消失。 由情理可知孩子走進(jìn)樹(shù)林，看不見(jiàn)了，所以答案選C。句意：幾分鐘后，孩子消失在樹(shù)林中。
小題6:C 副詞辨析A. 盡管；B. 此外；C. 然而；D. 因此。 由下文可知孩子跑回來(lái)之后又一次返回樹(shù)林，所以用however 表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故C選項(xiàng)正確。
小題7: D名詞辨析。 A.跡象；B.風(fēng)景； C.風(fēng)景，觀點(diǎn)；D. 場(chǎng)景，場(chǎng)面。 從語(yǔ)境可知此處指的是作者看到的場(chǎng)景，感人的一幕，根據(jù)詞義判斷D選項(xiàng)正確。
小題8: A動(dòng)詞辨析A. 喊；B.射擊；C. 看；D. 說(shuō)話。根據(jù)下文A huge deer was dangerously close可以推測(cè)當(dāng)時(shí)作者的心情非常緊張，差點(diǎn)喊出聲來(lái)，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題9:D連詞辨析。 A.并且；  B.否則；C.因此；D但是。前面提到靠近一頭雄健的鹿是很危險(xiǎn)的，下文講當(dāng)孩子靠近時(shí)鹿卻沒(méi)有動(dòng)，由此可知前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故答案選D。
小題10:A名詞辨析。 A.口渴；B疾��；  C熱；D.疼痛。文章開(kāi)頭提到這是干旱的一個(gè)夏天，再根據(jù)下文lift its head to lap up the water可以判斷小鹿是沒(méi)有水喝，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
小題11:C動(dòng)詞辨析。A.失去；B. 不見(jiàn)了；C. 走了，沒(méi)了；    D. 想念，錯(cuò)過(guò)。由上下文可知當(dāng)小鹿喝完孩子手里的水時(shí)，孩子再跑回去用手捧水給小鹿喝， lost和missing均強(qiáng)調(diào)“找不到了”，而gone可以指“用完了”，所以C為正確選項(xiàng)。
小題12: A形容詞辨析A. 善良的；B.聰明的；C. 機(jī)敏的； D.誠(chéng)實(shí)的。由孩子所做的事情可以判斷孩子是善良的，所以答案選A。
小題13:D動(dòng)詞辨析。 A.下雨； B.出現(xiàn)；D.唱歌；D哭。根據(jù)下文可知當(dāng)時(shí)天上碰巧落下雨點(diǎn)來(lái)，所以此處用擬人的手法強(qiáng)調(diào)孩子的行為使上帝也為之感動(dòng)的落淚，答案選A。

Everyone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve success simply because they believe that they deserve success.
But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影響的)  friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.
　　　At the same time, we should not be pessimistic (悲觀的). More and more the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, "This can't be right! $ 100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer?" The engineer wrote out a new bill: "For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99."
小題1:The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _____.
A．it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the man
B．her boss did not think she had the fight qualifications for the job
C．the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she was
D．it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague
小題2:The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because____.
A．he hit the machine to get it started again
B．the factory owner could not have repaired it himself
C．he was charging for his knowledge and expert skills
D．he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it
小題3:What can we learn about the author's attitude toward the widespread belief that "people get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it"?
A．He quite agrees with it.
B．He doesn't express his opinion his opinion at it.
C．He completely disagrees with it.
D．He doesn't quite agree with it.
小題4:According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.
B．The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.
C．Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.
D．Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.

Instead of a normal court hearing, the trial on Wednesday appeared more like a prepared drama. Hundreds of reporters waited outside the court, in the hope of learning “shocking” information about the case, which includes well-known military singer Li Shuangjiang’s son, who gang-raped a woman with another four men on February.
The case was not a public hearing because it includes teenagers, whose privacy must be protected under law, but many details had been exposed by the lawyers before the trial.
Lawyers of all five suspects and the woman’s lawyer made a lot of debate on the Internet before the trial, making the case more confused.
Wu Ming’an, a law professor from the China University of Political Science and Law, said it was a pity to see such a “performance” by the lawyers.
“It can be understood that the two parties freely spoke their opinions, but it’s not professional or wise to see lawyers do the same,” Wu said. “Instead, the lawyers should guide and persuade their clients(當(dāng)事人) to calm down, especially for such a non-public and sensitive case.”
China has no clear rule to manage lawyers’ behavior before trials, “but it should be general knowledge that the lawyers of the two sides cannot leak too many details, particularly in a case that includes teenagers”, Wu added.
Yi Shenghua, a lawyer who has been following the case, said it does more harm than good to both parties for such detailed information to be exposed before the trial.
“It’s OK for lawyers to speak, but what is said must be reasonable and legal. Although judgments should not be affected by public opinion, it’s hard for them not to be,” he said, suggesting judicial authorities should speak out if the case goes wrongly.
Trials must be conducted based on evidence, while lawyers should protect their clients’ rights instead of adding fuel to the flames, Yi said.
In my eyes, the most important aspect of the case, lies in how to make lawyers do their work more professionally and reasonably.
小題1:Why was the case not a public hearing?
A．Because it included the well-known military singer Li Shuangjiang’s son.
B．Because the victim was a woman.
C．Because teenagers’ privacy must be protected under law.
D．Because many details had already been exposed before the trial.
小題2:What is Wu ming’an’s attitude towards the lawyers’ behavior of making a lot of debate on the internet before the trial?
A．a(chǎn)pprovalB．criticalC．neutralD．indifferent
小題3:The underlined part “l(fā)eak” in para. 6 refers to_________.
A．give awayB．squeeze outC．break downD．sweep up
小題4:From Yi Shenghua, we know that _______________.
A．The lawyers’ behavior before trials hasn’t been ruled.
B．It doesn’t matter whether the detailed information is exposed before the trial.
C．What lawyers say must be reasonable and legal.
D．It is hard for judgments to be affected by public opinion.

I remembered that when I was a little child, I used to look for Sunday of the week. Yes, I was so looking forward to an adventure.
Now, I still have a strong affinity for buses. I used to wonder where those gigantic (巨大的) buses finally stopped. On sunshine Sundays, that’s my adventure times. He took me to the bus stop. Time passed, while I was growing impatient, he was smiling, as he always does.
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today. I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us. I waved my hands so high with all my strength. I looked hopefully at him. He didn’t move at all. He was still standing. It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn’t any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand. We managed to find seats on the upper deck. I was so excited. Only sitting beside the windows made me happy. Looking at the rewinding buildings, streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun. Then, he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop. I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.[]
That is me. I know now. I am all he cares. He wants me to be happy, as he always does. That’s the strong bond between father and son. Childhood, naive(天真)  and precious, you showed me the world and the way I look at the world. I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thanks, you are so wonderful!

Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韻律).
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (發(fā)作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
小題1:John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.
A．his early education from schoolB．the deaths of his parents
C．Edmund Spenser’s poetryD．the criticism of a magazine
小題2:What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A．They read many books.
B．They had a bad childhood
C．They died of the same disease.
D．They showed strong interest in poetry
小題3:What do we know from the passage?
A．Keats received little education at school.
B．Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C．In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D．Endymion was about a real love story.
小題4:While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was __________.
A．determinedB．experiencedC．knowledgeableD．impatient
小題5:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.
B．Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.
C．It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.
D．The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper. There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it. It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address. So I did. I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.
A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door. I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep. He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card. He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom. Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine. I just didn’t know what to say. I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.
That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home. I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday. I sent her a Valentine and also a couple of notes in between. I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mail.
She passed away a couple of months ago. I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts. I dropped them a line of sympathy. I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.

Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.
My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.
The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.
Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有條紋的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.
Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.
But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting. )
We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends.
Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey.
