解析
小题1:解析 根据 “What food might this contain?”可以判断出老鼠想知道包裹里是什么东西。wonder:feel curious or be in doubt about(感到好奇或怀疑),符合文意。whisper “窃窃私语,耳语”;shout “叫喊”;hesitate “犹豫不决”。
答案 C
小题2: 解析 对老鼠来说,老鼠夹子是危险的。根据“There is a mousetrap!”,可判断它向大家发出了警报。information是不可数名词。message“消息,讯息”;notice“通知,布告”。若用B项,表达不出文中的感情色彩。
答案 A
小题3: 解析 根据上文中的“He was alarmed to discover that it was a mousetrap(捕鼠夹子)”,以及空后的but并列分句的内容可知,concern“担心的事,关切的事”,符合文意。
答案 B
小题4:解析 根据 “but it is of no consequence to me” 可知,捕鼠夹对鸡没有任何影响。bother “使不安,给……造成麻烦”。
答案 A
小题5:解析 猪表示除了祈祷外它无能为力。根据句末的but也可判断此处表示否定意义。
答案 D
小题6:解析 下文“I will make sure that you are in my prayers.”有暗示。
答案 B
小题7:解析 根据文意可知,牛跟猪和鸡的反应一样,认为捕鼠夹对自己毫无影响,故空处表示转折。
答案 C
小题8:解析 根据上文大家都婉拒了它,以及“head down”和“to face the farmer"s mousetrap alone”可知老鼠很沮丧。depressed“沮丧的”。
答案 C
小题9: 解析 根据下文“The farmer"s wife rushed to see what was caught.”可知此处指像捕鼠夹夹住东西的声音。
答案 A
小题10:解析 根据下文农夫的妻子因被蛇咬而死可以判断这是一条毒蛇。poisonous“有毒的”,符合文意。
答案 A
小题11: 解析 人人都知道治疗发烧最好用新鲜的鸡汤。treat...with...以……方式治疗。check重在核对,也就是说在检查前就已经能够预测到结果。examine则表示检查,结果如何事先并不知道。
答案 B
小题12:解析 根据第二段首句中的“Going back to the farmyard”可知,鸡在院子里。
答案 B
小题13:解析 农夫妻子的病情不断恶化,朋友和邻居都过来探望她。continue“继续,持续”,符合文意。
答案 D
小题14: 解析 农夫妻子的病没有好转,最终去世了。well在此处作形容词,表示“健康的,身体好的”。
答案 D
小题15: 解析 根据上文的died和常识判断,许多人参加了她的葬礼(funeral)。
答案 A
小题16:解析 根据上文信息可推知,为招待参加葬礼的人,农夫把牛也宰了。
答案 B
小题17:解析 offer侧重表示“愿意给予”,常用于offer sb sth或offer sth to sb 结构,故排除;provide意为“供给,提供,装备,准备”,provide sth for sb 意为“向某人提供某物”;supply“提供,供应”,常用于supply sb with sth 或supply sth to sb 结构;afford意为“买得起”。故此处用provide。
答案 C
小题18: 解析 根据文章首句可推知,老鼠是从墙上的裂缝处看到农夫家里发生的事的。
答案 C
小题19:解析 根据上文信息可知,老鼠跟农夫家里的动物是朋友,看到鸡、猪和牛相继被***,自然是很悲伤。
答案 B
小题20: 解析 记住,当我们中的一个受到威胁,我们大家都处在危险中。at risk “在危险中”;at peace “处于和平状态”;at sight “一看(就)”;at work “在工作,在运转”。

As a child, Jobs preferred doing things by himself, not interested in team sports or other group activities.He enrolled in the HewlettPackard Explorer Club. There he saw his first computer at the age of twelve. He was very impressed, and knew right away that he wanted to work with computers.
At that time almost all computers were so large that one could fill a room, and so costly that individuals could not afford to buy them.Advances in electronics, however, meant that the parts of a computer were getting smaller and the power of the computer was increasing.
By 1980 the personal computer era was well underway.Apple was continually forced to improve its products to remain ahead, as more competitors entered the marketplace. Apple introduced the Apple Ⅲ, but the new model suffered technical and marketing problems.It was removed from the market.
Early in 1983 Jobs unveiled the Lisa.It did not sell well,however, because it was more expensive than personal computers sold by competitors.Apple"s biggest competitor was International Business Machines (IBM). By 1983 it was estimated that Apple had lost half of its market share ( part of an industry"s sales that a specific company has) to IBM.
In 1984 Apple introduced a revolutionary new model, the Macintosh.The Macintosh did not sell well to businesses,however.It lacked features other personal computers had, such as a corresponding high quality printer. The failure of the Macintosh signaled the beginning of Jobs"s downfall at Apple.
Late in 1988 the NeXT computer was introduced, aimed at the educational market.The product was very userfriendly,and had a fast processing speed, excellent graphics displays,and an outstanding sound system.Despite the warm reception,however, the NeXT machine never caught on. It was too costly, had a blackandwhite screen, and could not be linked to other computers or run common software.
小题1:When did Steven Jobs first get the chance to catch sight of a computer?
A.In 1955. | B.In 1961. |
C.In 1967. | D.In 1980. |
A.All the computes used to be large enough to fill a room. |
B.Before 1980, Apple was not successful in the field of personal computers. |
C.Steven Jobs was born in Silicon Valley. |
D.Apple and IBM competed for sales of personal computers. |
A.was popular among the young people |
B.turned out to be a failure |
C.caused more competitors to come into the market |
D.could be linked to a printer |
A.The Apple Ⅲ. | B.The Macintosh |
C.The NeXT. | D.The Lisa. |
A.few people could afford it |
B.it was not fast enough |
C.it was not easy to use |
D.it lacked super sound system |
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom. “I don’t know how to use a computer,” she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn’t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we’re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”
But she hasn’t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, ‘why me?’ about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn’t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
小题1:Why did Mary feel regretful?
A.She didn’t achieve her ambition. |
B.She didn’t take care of her mother. |
C.She didn’t complete her high school. |
D.She didn’t follow her mother’s advice. |
A.had two books published |
B.received many career awards |
C.knew how to use a computer |
D.supported the JDRF by writing |
A.living with diabetes | B.successful show business |
C.service for an organization | D.remembrance of her mother |
A.lost control of herself | B.began a balanced diet |
C.tried to get a treatment | D.behaved in an adult way |
A.Mary feels pity for herself. |
B.Mary has recovered from her disease. |
C.Mary wants to help others as much as possible. |
D.Mary determines to go back to the dance floor. |

For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that we’d all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn’t like because he scratched for no reason.
However,soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upest because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back,but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched his jug of posion and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of posion, and then he sprayed the basement again.
A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.
While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was in the lawn mower’s(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house. Once the roof caught, there wasn’t much anyone could do.
After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail’s. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didn’t talk much, while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.
