2.AI was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn’t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and I retuned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady,” whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’ s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s‘the one ,’”jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. ”My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when tines were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; be was very romantic and-of course- I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her-that was the night than I won her heart .41.Why was the writer in a hurry that day?A. He was to meet his girlfriend.B. He had to go back to school soon.C. He was delayed by an elderly lady.D. He had to pick up some groceries.

    When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on.I put up with her as long as I could.At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
    He listened to my outburst quietly.Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
    True?I wanted to know how to strike back.What did truth have to do with it?
    "Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
    I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
    For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
    I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it.
    "That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it.But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt.When something said about you is true you'll know it.You'll find that it will echo inside you."
    Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.

    What did the girl do when she could no longer bear her enemy?

    A.She turned to her fathe
    B.She cried to her heart's conten
    C.She tried to put up with her agai

    Literacy Volunteer Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Jane was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by their labels. As a result, if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Jane's self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself, too. I found that helping Jane to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Jane did.

    A Heroic Woman
    The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
    ______(46)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side."I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,"she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian
    Nichols , 33 . He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.______(47)
    Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life."I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn't have a mummy",she said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from"The Purpose-Driven Life",a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph about"what you thought your purpose in life was,what talents were you given.______(48)
    "I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust."Smith said.
    Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her. He said he thought"I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brother",she said,"And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people."______(49)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道) of the police hunt for him."I cannot believe that's me."Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,"I think you should turn yourself in.If you don't,lots more people are going to get hurt."
    Eventually,he let her go.______(50)A US $ 60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols' capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有资格的)for that money.

    ______(50)
    A: The local police were searching for him.
    B: Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.
    C: Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
    D: She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.
    E: And the two of them discussed this topic.
    F: Then she called the police.

    答案:F
    解析:
    史密斯是一位单身母亲,26岁,有一个女儿。由于第二段的句子反复提到了她,因此,段落第一句应该是对于她的姓名和身份的说明。


    根据本文第二段最后事实的陈述,他连杀4个人,因此可以判断当地警察正在搜捕他,所以选A。


    然后他们两人讨论这个话题。前句提到了“读书”和“什么是生活的目的,你具有什么才能”等问题,因此,之后街接就这个话题的讨论。


    她甚至在被允许离开之前,为这个人做早饭。第五段选项之后的句子提到早饭的事情。因此,这里本句话的意思是应该相互街接。


    最后一段第一句:最后,他放了她。后来,她报了警。

    A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车).They came to a log cabin(小木屋).The man shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin.Sarah,the young woman,got down from the wagon,opened wide her arms and heldthe boy close.
    "Hello,Abe Lincoln,"she said."I think we′ll be good friends."
    The new mother with the smiling face went to work at once.She washed Abe and hissister and tidied(弄整齐)their hair.And that night she threw away the boy′s mattress(床垫)of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keephim warm at night.
    Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe.She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
    Maybe,if she hadn′t come to the cabin,he wouldn′t have lived to be a man.When Abe′s father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm,Sarah took Abe′s part against his father.Abe would rather read than eat,and when hisfather told him to stop,Sarah said,"Let the boy read."
    In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem.For the last time she had taken Abe′s part against his father.For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.More than twenty years later,when Abe,who had then become famous,was going to make a speech in a nearby town,Sarah went there just to watch him.In the crowd she tried to make herself small,but he saw her,and in front of everybody,got out of his carriage and went overand put his arms around her and kissed her.Yes,that was her Abe.

Also, she could only recognize items by their labels. As a result, if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Jane's self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself, too. I found that helping Jane to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Jane did. At the end of the program, Jane began helping her youngest son with his reading.()

    Literacy Volunteer Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however.

  • 第23题:

    问答题
    Section C (10 marks)  Lisa Tyler was weary after a long, hard day at the pottery factory where she works, but as she approached her home in the English city of Stoke-on-Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favourite TV series, But first, she needed to change out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother’s house nearby.  As Lisa walked up her garden path, she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. . What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone’s coat was hanging on the gatepost!  Well, 26-year-old Lisa didn’t fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour’s house and rang the police. As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That’s when she saw a leg coming out of the downstairs front window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar war carrying her portable television!  At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn’t have many possessions and she’d saved long and hard to buy that set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends.“Oh no, you don’t.” she muttered under her breath, as fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping to think, she across the garden and started shouting at the burglar, “Give me my TV—drop it now!”  Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden, so Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby-tackled him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog, despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar’s face. She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden.  By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. “I can’t believe you were so foolish, Lisa,” scolded her father. “You could have been killed.”  “I know, but at least he didn’t get my TV.” she replied.  Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school. He was later caught and jailed for 15 months after committing a burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was given a Certificate of Appreciation by Staffordshire police for her “outstanding courage and public action”. In the future, however, she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real guard dog.  Answer the questions in no more than 10 words.  1.What first led Lisa to think there was a burglar in her house?  2.Why didn’t Lisa wait in her neighbour’s house until the police arrived?  3.What does “Lisa saw red (in the 4th paragraph)” most probably mean?  4.What did the burglar do when Lisa shouted at him?  5.How did Lisa help to catch the burglar later?

    正确答案:
    1.A light flashed on and off in an upstairs bedroom. /Something was moving inside. 根据文章第二段she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. . What if it was a burglar?可知a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom提醒了她。在回答此问题时注意使用完整的句子。
    2.Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her. /She was eager to find out what was happening. 根据第三段中As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on可知是好奇使她想过去看看怎么回事,而不是在邻居家等着.
    3.She got angry. 根据这句之后她想到自己没有多少财产,她省了很长时间的钱才买了这台电视,而且没人能阻止她看《老友记》,可知她内心十分生气,在下一段作者明确提出fury swelled inside her,可知她十分生气。
    4.He ignored Lisa and fled across the garden. 根据文中Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden可知他没把Lisa放在眼里,就跑过庭院逃跑了。
    5.She later remembered the name of the burglar. /She realized she could identify him. 根据倒数第四段she realized that she recognized the burglar’s face以及最后一段Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school. He was later caught…可知是由于Lisa想起窃贼的名字帮助了警察破案。
