解析

小题1: C

小题2: A
解析 对于多数人来说,工作是为了保障生活,而类似于下文的事例让作者明白,他在父亲店里的工作不只是为了生存和卖东西,还可以给别人带去快乐。
小题3: B
解析 根据下文“His shoes were scuffed(磨损) and his one shoelace was torn.The little boy looked poor...”可知,此处是描述小男孩衣衫褴褛,因此dirty符合语境。
小题4: C
解析 小男孩看起来非常穷,买不起任何一件物品。afford买得起,承担得起,符合句意。
小题5: D
解析 由句意可知,小男孩看看这个看看那个,然后小心地把物品放回原位,carefully强调小男孩对物品的爱惜。
小题6: B
解析 根据下文“...the dimple(酒窝) in his cheek stood out...”可知,smile符合语境。
小题7: A
解析 根据下文“The boy said he was looking for...”可知,父亲询问小男孩有什么可以为他做的。
小题8: C

小题14: D
解析 根据下文“In his hand lay only 27 cents.”可知,小男孩手里攥的是钱。
小题15: A
解析 根据后面的$3.98可知此处说的是玩具飞机的价钱。
小题16: B
解析 这个玩具飞机是小男孩经过20多分钟精心挑选出来的,因此pick out精心挑选,符合语境。
小题17: B
解析 根据下文“Dad said as he made the sale.”可知,尽管小男孩的钱很少,父亲仍然把玩具飞机卖给了他,所以此处父亲是告诉小男孩他的钱正好够支付这个玩具飞机的,cover够付,符合语境。
小题18: A
解析 小男孩的钱很少,但是父亲却说够支付玩具,使得小男孩能够为他的弟弟购买圣诞礼物,心满意足地离开商店。父亲的举动使作者很受震撼,所以他的话经常在作者耳边回响,因此ring符合语境。ring in one’s ears在耳边回响。
小题19:C
解析 根据第二段中的“...his one shoelace was torn.”可知选single。

举一反三
When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon(丝带) around a bomb”.Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a_much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven.Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school­bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country.Her first one­woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.            (2012·安徽,C)

One of the worst feelings you have as a professional athlete is the feeling after losing a game to a team that you should have beaten. That happened last night against the lowly Boston Celtics. They had only won 13 games the whole year and were really struggling. We had just come off a very good win against the Orlando Magic on the road and were feeling good about ourselves.
The day did not start out good for us when we learned that T-Mac was going to miss the game with the flu. When you lose your best players (Yao, T-Mac) everyone must play a little harder and do a little bit more on the floor. We inserted Bonzi Wells into the lineup (he was the only one to have a good game for us), in place of T-Mac.
It was a nasty game. We are usually one of the best three point shooting teams in the NBA and we only made 1 of 22 three point shots! I have never seen that happen. Never! Rafer Alston, Luther Head, and me combined to shoot 5 of 33 from the field. Ouch! You aren"t going to win too many games like that. Even as poorly as we shot the ball, we STILL had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter but failed to make the winning plays that you must make to leave the floor victorious.
In the locker room after the game, everybody felt terrible. When we play a bad game, we feel that we let our teammates down. There is a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach when you leave the gym and you just want to go home and not talk to anyone. It is a terrible feeling, but it is a feeling that makes you want to try harder and do better the next time.
I"ll talk to you guys later.
Shane
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.To blame the team for losing the game.
B.To tell the readers about the feeling after losing the game
C.To explain why they played poorly in the game.

小题2: What can the readers learn from the text?
A. The Boston Celtics is one of the top teams in NBA.
B. The Boston Celtics had a big win over the writer’s team.
C. Every one of the team played poorly with no energy.
D. Bonzi Wells starts in the game with T-Mac out.

A mother from Colorado who doctors said had died while giving birth to her son, has said it is a Christmas miracle that both she and the boy are alive.
Tracey Hermanstorfer"s heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.
The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn"t waking up”.She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.
Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim since in most situations like this,“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”.
Mr Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency,“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”
Dr Martin said she did not have a “great explanation” for why Mrs Hermanstorfer"s heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping,” she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.
Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said:“I got a second chance in life.”

When Joe was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. Yet things turned out to be quite    . The fourth grade even found him at the     of the class. Joe struggled day and night, but it did not      until one stormy afternoon.
On that afternoon,      the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts, dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in. Hard though she tried to make the kid    , the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one    the concepts, except for Joe. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it.     by his newfound success, Joe moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for      . All children naturally drew    pictures on such a day. Except for Joe.
Since then, Joe started       . Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always       and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Joe? On the day Joe graduated, he presented the teacher with his most      possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Joe had written: This is the day I      my brightness.
It is easy to overlook the role that your body plays in influencing your mood(情绪). When you are      , you may find yourself blaming work pressures or an unknown future. However, it could just be that you"ve been sitting behind your desk too long.
One way to improve your mood is     . Psychologically, it provides you with a break from the stresses in your life. Also, in the process, you may aim for    goals, like a new personal running record or a better body shape. The achievement of a particular goal makes you feel good and contributes to your       . That is why exercise has been shown to      your self-respect.
You do not have to train yourself      to feel the psychological benefits of exercise. What really matters is      , not intensity(强度) of your exercise. You can try walking for 30 minutes five times per week or simply gardening on weekends.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I notice an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked.
“May I get you something?”   “A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, “How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchchill Downs. ”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.
