第三篇
Karen Rusa was a 30-year-old woman and the mother of four children. For the past several months Karen had been experiencing repetitive thoughts that centered around her children's safety. She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accident had occurred;she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind.On one such occasion she imagined that her son,Alan,had broken his leg playing football at school. There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred,but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally called the school to see if Alan was all right. Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt,she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed.Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work that she performed throughout each day.Specific numbers come to have a special meaning to her;she found that her preoccupation with these numbers was interfering with her ability to perform everyday activities.One example was grocery shopping. Karen believed that if she selected the first item,some dreadful thing would happen to her first child, if she selected the second item,some unknown disaster wonld fall on her second child, and so on for the four children.Karen's preoccupation with numbers extended to other activities, most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarettes and drank coffee.If she had one cigarette, she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row or one of her children would be harmed in some way. If she drank one cup of coffee,she felt compelled to drink four. Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules,but,nevertheless,maintained that she felt more comfortable,when she observed them earnestly.When she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear. She described herself as tense,uneasy and unable to relax during these periods.Which of the following solutions could most probably cure Karen of the illness?
A:Her children were all right.
B:She stopped counting numbers.
C:She consulted a psychoanalyst.
D:She quit smoking.答案：C解析：本题是阅读综合理解能力考查题。题目是：以下哪项有可能治疗凯伦的疾病？选项A“她的孩子都完好”；选项B“她停止计数”；选项C“向精神分析学家求助”；选项 D“戒烟”。根据常识判断，我们可确定答案为C。

本题是阅读综合理解能力考查题。题目是：作者用凯伦购物这个例子要说明的目的。选项A“孩子的健康与她选的物品密切相关”；选项B“凯伦无法完成日常的活动”；选项C“具体的数字如何与孩子们的健康相关”；选项D“进一步说明凯伦遭受心理疾病的折磨”。因此答案选D。

第7题：
根据下列内容，回答191-195题。
Mrs．Janes gave music lessons at a school．She had a good voice and enjoyed singing，except that some of her high tones sounded like a gate that had been forgotten to oil．Mrs．Janes knew her weakness well，and took every chance she could to practice these high tones．As she lived in a small house，where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family，she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practiced her high tones there．Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road，she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again，because she was a shy person．
One afternoon，a fast，opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her．She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed；she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face．
He stopped his car suddenly，jumped out and began to examine all the tyres carefully． Mrs．Janes didn’t dare to tell him what noise he had heard really was，so he got back into the car and drove off．

Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
gave a billion dollars.
She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.She managed to save so much money because________.
A:she had ironed and washed clothes all her life
B:she had worked hard,saved hard and invested carefully
C:she had opened a good bank account
D:she knew how to make money答案：B解析：本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。

由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。
由文章第四段第四句话“After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund.”可知答案为C。

An Extraordinary Change of Direction
Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.

She got married, and after she had chi ldren she retired from show business to bring them up.They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.
She says,"When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was borerd because the children had left home.He was also worried because I had never sailed before I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race.They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia.I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey.
Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn' t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced.She tells one story."One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold.I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck.One of the men couldn' t move because he had broken his leg.They were taken to hospital by helicopter.That was the worst time.
By the end of October last year, she had raised more than $50, 000 for charity.
She says, "Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it' s the same as being a dancer.Before I left on trip, I had trained hard.I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely.Then on the trip I was simply a good team member."

第21题：
Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States，yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies.As she once said of herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking-chair，waiting for someone to help me.”
She was born on a farm in New York State.At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven，she married Thomas Moses，the tenant of hers.They farmed most of their lives.She had ten children，of whom five survived;her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition，and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930‘s and her death she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known，with a wonderful sense of color and form.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA.Grandma Moses
B.The Children of Grandma Moses
C.Grandma Moses：Her Best Pictures
D.Grandma Moses and Her First Exhibition答案：A解析： -

题目问的是“油轮驶不出海港的原因”。文章第一段第三句提到“In a way，she was，for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. ”意思是说从某种程度上说，她搁浅在沙滩上了。可能大家会选C项，C项的意思是“引擎坏了”，但第一段后半部分说晚上陆风起来的时候油轮的引擎就苏醒过来了，可见引擎没坏，A、D两项文中没有提到。所以B对。 -

单选题______ her pen in ink, when she heard the tramping of little feet along the hall, and then a pounding at her door.ANo sooner has she dipped
BScarcely had she dipped
CAs soon as she had dipped
DHardly she has dipped
正确答案： B解析：
句意：当她听到大厅外的脚步声和急促的敲门声的时候，她还没有用笔去蘸墨水。no sooner，scarcely，hardly等放在句首时要用倒装语序，根据题意，B选项符合。no sooner应与than搭配使用，所以A项错误。D项has应放在she之前。 -
第24题：
问答题Practice 7 When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.正确答案：
