本文講述的是一個(gè)小男孩學(xué)校要開(kāi)家長(zhǎng)會(huì)，他本來(lái)不愿媽媽去，但媽媽卻答應(yīng)了，小男孩很失望，為什么呢？原來(lái)媽媽臉上有一塊小男孩認(rèn)為很丑陋的疤痕。但當(dāng)?shù)弥税淌菋寢尀榫人粝碌臅r(shí)，小男孩很慚愧。從此文章中我們也感到了母愛(ài)的偉大。
小題1:B。從語(yǔ)法角度看四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都對(duì)，但根據(jù)下文來(lái)看，小男孩不愿媽媽參加學(xué)校家長(zhǎng)會(huì)，因此當(dāng)聽(tīng)到媽媽說(shuō)她將去時(shí)，他感到很“失望”。
小題2:A。講述故事用過(guò)去時(shí)，會(huì)議還未開(kāi)，是將來(lái)時(shí)，因此用“would + 動(dòng)詞原形”，表示過(guò)去將來(lái)。
小題3:D。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知這將會(huì)是他的老師和同學(xué)們第一次“見(jiàn)”他的媽媽。
小題4:B。be sick of 意為“厭惡，厭倦”；be ashamed of 意為“感到羞愧，慚愧”；be afraid of 意為“害怕，擔(dān)憂”；be tired of 意為“厭煩”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知答案為 B。小男孩對(duì)媽媽的相貌感到羞恥。
小題5:C。cover 意為“遮蓋”。嚴(yán)重的疤痕幾乎全部遮住了她的右臉
小題6:A。talk about 意為“談?wù)�，討論”；think about 意為“考慮”；care about 意為“關(guān)心”；hear about 意為“聽(tīng)說(shuō)”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，小男孩從來(lái)不想談?wù)摪毯鄣脑蚣鞍毯凼侨绾瘟粝碌摹?br />小題7:A。be impressed by 意為“被深深打動(dòng) / 感動(dòng)”。在會(huì)上，人們都被他媽媽的善良和自然美所感動(dòng)。
小題8:D。in sight of 意為“臨近；可被……望見(jiàn)”；by means of 意為“依靠”；by way of 意為“經(jīng)由”；in spite of 意為“雖然；盡管……仍”。根據(jù)句意可知答案為 D。
小題9:A。hide 意為“躲避，躲藏，避開(kāi)(某人的視線)”，特指出于羞愧或悲痛。但是小男孩還是感到困窘，因此他避開(kāi)每一個(gè)人。
小題10:C。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小男孩是聽(tīng)到了他媽媽和老師之間的談話，因此答案為 C。
小題11:A。carefully 意為“小心地，謹(jǐn)慎地”；seriously 意為“認(rèn)真地，真誠(chéng)地”；nervously意為“膽怯地”；anxiously 意為“憂慮地，不安地”。問(wèn)別人的“疤痕”應(yīng)該是“謹(jǐn)慎地問(wèn)”，故答案為 A。
小題12:B。as, when 和 while 這三個(gè)詞都可以引出時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，它們的區(qū)別是：when 從句表示某時(shí)刻或一段時(shí)間；as 從句表示進(jìn)展過(guò)程；while 從句只表示一段時(shí)間。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境“我兒子小時(shí)候，他住的房子找了火”應(yīng)該是指時(shí)間點(diǎn)，因此答案為 B。
小題13:D。too...to... 意為“太…以至于不能”。大家都太害怕了以至于不敢進(jìn)那房子。
小題14:A。out of control 意為“不受控制”；under control 意為“被控制住”；in control 意為“在控制之下”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境“因?yàn)榛饎?shì)無(wú)法控制”可知答案為 A。
小題15:C。helpless 意為“無(wú)助的”；hopeless 意為“沒(méi)有希望的，絕望的”； senseless 意為“不省人事的，無(wú)感覺(jué)的，無(wú)意識(shí)的”；useless意為“無(wú)用的，無(wú)效的”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知是被燃燒木頭敲擊得失去知覺(jué)，因此答案為 C。
小題16:D。touch 意為“觸摸”。她觸摸著燒傷的那邊臉。
小題17:B。lasting 意為“永久的，永恒的”�！斑@疤痕將是永恒的�！�
小題18:D�！暗钡浇裉�，我從未后悔我所做的”，這便是母愛(ài)的偉大之處。

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
小題1:A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.
A．very well
B．in the way of western rule
C．in the way of his own rule
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題2:The writer was surprised because ____.
A．the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B．the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C．the artist made his own rule
D．the artist did not follow other people's rule
小題3:You are not yet experienced because ____.
A．you don't know where to begin
B．you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C．you always asked question
D．you do not trust to your own powers
小題4:when you become more experienced you will ____.
A．never ask question
B．often begin at the tail
C．should write the end of the story
D．should think of the beginning
小題5:The topic of the passage is
A．How to draw a horse
B．How to write a story
C．How to make your own rules

A number of times Rosemary edged closer to Gordon , meaning to take his arm, but he edged away from her. She thought that she had offended him deeply, and that he was disappointed because she had pushed him away. She would have apologized if he had given her half a chance. But as a matter of fact, he was scarcely thinking of this any longer. It was the money business that was troubling him now. And the fact was that he would soon have to confess it. What nonsense it made of all he had said! Presently she stopped him, and swung him round to face her. “Gordon, why won’t you speak to me?” she said. “Are you still angry with me for what happened just now?”
“No, I was never angry with you. You’re not to blame. Something else has been worrying me all the way along, I’ve only eight pence left. I had just enough money for today when we started out, but that dinner bill upset everything. Can you lend me some money?’
Rosemary was amazed. “What does it matter if you’ve only eight pence left? How can you let yourself be worried by a thing like that? As though I objected to lending you money, aren’t I always telling you that I want to pay for myself when we go out together?’
“Yes, and you know how I hate you paying.”
“Oh, how silly you are.” She said. “Do you think there’s anything to be ashamed of in having no money?”
Gordon’s face went bright pink. “Of course there is ! It’s the only thing in the world there is to be ashamed of. I can’t be a complete human being—I don’t feel a human being –unless I’ve got money in my pocket.”
小題1:What gave Rosemary the idea that she had hurt Gordon’s feelings deeply?
A．He didn’t say he was sorry.

Have you ever wanted to feel like you were in a western film? Or maybe you wanted to feel like you were a pioneer traveling the west? It is possible to experience such things during a Wild West vacation! Here are four of the best Wild West vacation locations available:
Walk the Lewis and Clark Trail
Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the world’s greatest explorers. Though not all the trails are marked, there are various stops that have been preserved by various historic societies. There is also a coach (長(zhǎng)途客車) that makes a 16-day trek following the trail. This begins in St. Louis, Missouri, and ends in Astoria, Oregon.
Venture Route 66
Take a tour or go to see it yourself — ride on the famous Route 66. The road is nearly 2,500 miles long. Harley Davidson offers motorcycle tours that last two weeks. Route 66 will provide an experience that may only be found on the open road. The historic road is still well taken care of.
Visit the Grand Canyon
Visit the greatest canyon in the world, located in Northern Arizona. Raft down the Colorado River, or hike the various trails that run throughout the canyon. If walking is not your thing, there are donkey and horse riding adventures available. In addition, there are motorized boats that float down through the canyon in a week’s time.
Visit Deadwood
Located in South Dakota, Deadwood is a historic landmark. It is the kind of town that comes to mind when one thinks of an old western film. Actors who act as gunslingers (殺手) will often be seen in the streets playing their roles. Winter activities are popular in this old town, and there is always something to do.
小題1:The underlined word “trek” (Para 2) can be replaced by      .

My friend Jim and I finally decided to spend our 14 days off in the eastern country.We were arranged to stay with a local family, which made it possible for us to share a real life experience with the locals and in return bring ourselves a richer experience of the native culture and tradition.
In the company of one of our well-informed local tour leaders, we started one of the trips to the nearby town . As we were passing elephants, we stopped , confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by a small rope tied to their front legs . No chains, no cages. It was obvious that these elephants could, at any time, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not . My friend went up to the trainer and asked why these beautiful animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,”he said , “When they were young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are accustomed to believing that they can not break away. They believe that the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free. We were amazed . These animals could at any time break away from their ropes but just because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we can not do something , simply because we failed at it once before ? How many of us are being held by outdated belief that no longer serves us ? How many of us have avoided trying something new because of a limited belief? Worse still , how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limiting beliefs? Your attempt may fail but never fail to make an attempt.
