A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. Hw asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” His father answered,”“When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple causes oxidarion. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.”The boy asked,“Dad，what are you
talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.
小題1:In the beginning, the author tells the story of a boy and his father to ____.

B．We must make right choices as often as possible.
C．People have many desires when they enter the world.
D．It is hard to lead a happy and satisfying life.
小題4:What can be concluded from the passage?
A．We should try to learn and understand the answers to questions.
B．We should learn from our mistakes and try again.
C．It is very important to try to avoid(避免) mistakes.
D．It is our duty to make the world a better place.

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:A
小題4:B
小題5:D

試題分析：我們是否應(yīng)該在一開(kāi)始就告訴孩子們所有正確的答案？我們是否應(yīng)該追求沒(méi)有錯(cuò)誤、一直正確？作者通過(guò)自己對(duì)兒子關(guān)于蘋果為什么會(huì)變成棕色的解答來(lái)表明，犯錯(cuò)是必要的，重要的是在錯(cuò)誤后繼續(xù)追求正確的真理。
小題1:主旨大意題。作者寫(xiě)對(duì)兒子解釋蘋果變成棕色是為了引出下文。故選D。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“The boy asked,“Dad，what are you talking about?””可知，兒子不知道爸爸在說(shuō)什么，也就是他感覺(jué)理解起來(lái)很困難。故選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Dr. Leo Buscaglia的意思是人們不能活著離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界，所以要在現(xiàn)在去生活，去學(xué)習(xí)，去關(guān)心，去分享，去慶祝和去愛(ài)。但是一開(kāi)始就等待答案的話是很困難的。因此A項(xiàng)“我們可以在享受生活的同時(shí)探索答案”最為貼切。其他三項(xiàng)都過(guò)于片面。故選A。
小題4:主旨大意題。文章的主旨是要告訴我們不要一開(kāi)始就急于尋找正確的答案，真理往往在我們的嘗試和失敗中而來(lái)。因此B項(xiàng)“我們可以從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)并再次嘗試”最符合。故選B。
小題5:推理判斷題。A項(xiàng)“小說(shuō)”，B項(xiàng)“新聞”，C項(xiàng)“詩(shī)歌”，D項(xiàng)“散文隨筆”。由文章論述的口吻推斷應(yīng)該是議論類的文章。故選D。

For years, my family has vacationed in the same Florida town. In fact, we just returned home after spending a week of spring break there with our three sons.
Many nights, we take the same scenic drive to dinner at a favorite restaurant. As we travel along Gulf Shore Boulevard, we admire a combination of small beach apartments, swanky high-rises and spectacular homes.
A few years ago, we noticed that whenever we drive this particular route, there are always two men sitting in front of the same third-floor window of a low-rise apartment building that overlooks the road. All that is visible from the road are their two silhouettes. Even during off-peak months, they’ve always been there. Over the years, we’ve had great fun speculating about who they are, whether they’re having a drink, and if so, what they fancy, where they’re from, and what they might be discussing. Our guesses have become a modern form of car bingo. Widowers? Retirees? Partners? We’ve run through the gamut of possibilities.
Eventually, I started beeping the horn as we passed. We’d wave. Our new friends would do likewise. There was something comforting in seeing them. In a world of constant change, it has been nice to look up and see that they are there, just as we remember from our last visit. And then last spring, we drove by and they were missing. The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we drove by and they were missing The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we grew worried about two people we’d never even met. Where did they go? A new round of the guessing game began.
On our last trip at Christmastime, we were relieved to see them once again. We were driving past about 6 p.m., and there they were at cocktail hour. I told my wife that I suspected they were gin drinkers and said we should buy them a bottle. She said that if I bought it, she’d deliver it. I said, “Tomorrow.”
小題1:Driving along the scenic route, the author’s family were to         .
A．meet their friends thereB．visit the Florida town

A．It was a pleasure for them to see the two men again.
B．It was his habit while driving along the special route.
C．It was an agreement between him and the two men.

I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us   36  chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell   37 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $ 56. I   38  the countryside for some place I could rent for the   39  possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road   40  the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was   41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and   42  a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me,   43  slowly, they started teaching me the   44  of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began   45  around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a   46  American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of   47 .
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were   48  for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place.   49  on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my   50  with my neighbors.

There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in   54  if we hadn’t banded together.
