1．A 看到兒子病重，家里又花光了錢，因此母親傷心，選 “眼含淚水的” 符合邏輯。
2．C 下文有提示，只有出現(xiàn)奇跡才能救孩子的命。此處是 “只有”，而不是 “僅僅”，故不選A或B。
3．D 從儲蓄罐里把零花錢 “傾倒” 出來符合語境。
4．B  make one’s way to... “向……走去”。
5．C 此處表示目的或對象，故用介詞for。
6．D 前后文都有提示，小孩用自己的零花錢去買 “奇跡”，符合小孩的性格特點。
7．A 弟弟病重，因此是頭里長了 “壞的”東西。Extra “額外的”，不符合小孩的語言特點和認知水平。
8．C 藥店里是 “賣” 藥，而不是賣 “奇跡”。
9．B 藥劑師已經了解了小女孩弟弟的情況，但不能幫助小女孩，因此 “傷心地” 微笑。
10．A 下文有提示，這兒剛剛出現(xiàn)這位 “穿著體面的” 顧客，不能馬上斷定他是 “好心的”，故不選B。
11．B 這位顧客不明白小女孩的弟弟需要什么樣的奇跡，故有此問。
12．C 前面出現(xiàn)了小女孩的弟弟頭中長了 “壞” 東西的信息，后面有提示，因此小女孩知道需要 “手術” 才能救弟弟的命。A項 “醫(yī)生” 太籠統(tǒng)，B項 “外科醫(yī)生”，概念太專業(yè)，超出了小女孩的認知水平。
13．A 從后面這位顧客問小女孩有多少錢，可得出答案，小女孩告訴對方把自己所有的 “積蓄” 都帶來了。
14．D 前后應該是轉折關系。
15．B 此處這位顧客了解了小女孩的用意，故幽默地說：1美元11分錢 “正好” 是買一個奇跡的錢，說明這位顧客決定幫助小女孩的弟弟。
16．C 這位顧客要到小女孩 “帶”他去她家里去。
17．D 這位顧客要去“見見”小女孩的父母，以便進一步了解情況。
18．C 說明Dr Carlton Armstrong富有愛心，無償?shù)貫樾∨⒌牡艿茏隽耸中g，因此是沒有收費。其他選項不合題意。
19．D 小女孩的弟弟不久就回了家痊愈了，注意此選項與后面doing well的并列關系，其他三個選項與doing well在意義上重復。
20. B 用1美元11分錢買來奇跡，反映了小女孩的 “信念”，其他的不合題意。

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
小題1:How did the author get to know America?
A． From her relatives.B． From her mother.
C． From books and pictures.D． From radio programs.
小題2:Upon leaving for America the author felt_______.
A．confusedB．excited
C．worriedD． amazed
小題3:For the first two years in New York, the author _________.
A．often lost her wayB．did not think about her future
C．studied in three different schoolsD．got on well with her stepfather
小題4:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A．She worked as a translator.
B．She attended a lot of job interviews.
C．She paid telephone bills for her family.
D．She helped her family with her English.
小題5:The author believes that______.
A．her future will be free from troubles
B．it is difficult to learn to become patient
C．there are more good things than bad things
D．good things will happen if one keeps trying

In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. The sun shone at an angle  across the field. The game unfolding in baseball time. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could gather. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin square in the chest.
His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the unconscious boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and administered CPR, breathing into his mouth and administering chest press.
And he came back.
It was a good thing, for a good kid. Kevin wasn't just a volunteer for his brother's baseball team --- he was a Boy Scout, one who went on to achieve Scouting's highest rank, Eagle. He became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant. He liked the people, but the work could be hard and pretty routine. Until the afternoon of January 27, 2006.
Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hustled into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking. Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts, he pulled suddenly inward and up, once, twice, administering the Heimlich maneuver. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
"The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened.”
Guess who the woman was ? Penny Brown

信息匹配(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)
閱讀下列應用文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應題號的相應選項字母涂黑。
首先，請閱讀下面有關購車的五條建議：
5 steps to getting the best price in buying a new car.
Ideally, a dealership should help you find the right vehicle at a fair price. But some dealers place more emphasis on their profit margins than on satisfying their customers.
Read the following situations and match the advice with them.
56. Many dealerships prey on the unprepared. Going into a showroom “cold”--without having gathered key facts and preliminary(初步的) pricing figures--gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process.
57. The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides. But the invoice price isn't necessarily what the dealer paid. There are often behind-the-scenes bonuses（幕后紅利）, such as dealer incentives and holdbacks, that give the dealer more profit margin.
58. Salespeople like to mix financing, leasing, and trade-in negotiations together, often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure. This tactic（策略） gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating figures in another.
59. The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher rate than you could get elsewhere.
60. Dealers often try to sell you extras such as rust proofing, fabric protection, and paint protectant, or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves.
請結合以上情形，與下面的建議進行匹配。
When buying a car, keep your interests front and center--and avoid common pitfalls（缺陷） that can cost you extra money--by following these tips:
A．Don't assume that the sticker price（標價） is the purchase price（買價）.
To get the lowest price, go in with a starting price that's based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle.
A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price, depending on the demand for the model.
B．Do your homework.
Thoroughly research your choices. Read a variety of reviews. Check the reliability, safety, fuel economy, and pricing of any models you're considering. And don't wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles. If you have a trade-in, know its approximate worth. That will depend on the vehicle's age, condition, mileage, and equipment, as well as where you trade it in.
C．Negotiate one thing at one time.
Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price. Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price.
Only after you've settled on the price should you discuss financing, leasing, or a trade-in, as necessary. Negotiate each item individually. Remember, you're in charge and can leave at any time. Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer.
D．Don't pay for extras you don't need.
Don't accept those unnecessary services and fees. If the items are on the bill of sale, put a line through them. Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust. And CR reliability surveys show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars. You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products. You can also do your own VIN etching with a kit that costs about $25.  
E. Other costs.
In addition to the vehicle price, you need to consider other costs, including:  Sales tax ; Registration fees ; Insurance premiums
Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more, and driving a car that’s worth more than your current one will cost more to insure. Be sure to check with your insurance agent or get insurance quotes online so you understand what you’re getting into.
F. Arrange financing in advance.
Compare interest rates at several banks, credit unions, and loan organizations before checking the dealer's rates. If pre-approved for a loan, you can keep financial arrangements out of the negotiations. Automakers may offer attractive financing terms, but make sure you qualify for them.
