家庭的不幸、失业的压力和生活的窘迫并没有让“我”丧失道德，“我”将捡到的雨伞归还给了它的主人。最终善有善报，“我”出乎意料地找到了一份销售经理的工作。
小题1:解析 “我”没有雨伞，因为那把旧伞已经“散架”了。break up“(使)破碎”；go away“离开，走开”；fade away“褪色，逐渐消失”，均不符合语境。
答案 C
小题2:解析 由于离婚和失业，“我”买不起另外一把伞。afford表示“买得起；能支付”。
答案 A
小题3:解析 根据下一段的开头“I got off the bus...”可知，“我”在“公共汽车”上坐了下来。
答案 B
小题4:解析 后一句说“I had __15__ seen angthing so lovely.”，由此可知这是一把非常“漂亮的”伞。
答案 B
小题5:解析 这把伞做工讲究，“我”以前“从未”见过如此可爱的东西。
答案 D
小题6:解析 根据第20空后面的“...for the name on the umbrella.”可知，伞柄上刻有一个“名字”。
答案 C

答案 B
小题11:解析 作者拨通电话后，一位女士“接听”了电话。此处answer表示“接电话”。
答案 C
小题12:解析 女士突然有了雨伞的消息，自然感到非常“惊讶”。后三项分别表示“恐慌”“沉默”“愤怒”，显然不符合语境。
答案 A
小题13:解析 此处add表示“补充说”。assume“假定”；declare“宣布，声明”；announce“宣告，公布”。
答案 B
小题14:解析 这把伞一个月以前就被人“从”门阶前偷走了。
答案 A

举一反三
Even though Nik was wearing a harness(保护带)，a safety measure provided by ABC，the television network that broadcast the event，his action to keep his balance against the strong winds made for some heart－stopping(令人担忧的) moments for the audience.
Nik，however，never slowed down for even one moment.Wearing special shoes made by his mother，he remained totally focused on the job at hand.It was only when he got to the last stretch near Canada"s Table Rock that he knelt down on one knee and finally broke into a smile.Waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience，he knew he had accomplished a great task，which most people had thought impossible.
While he described the whole experience as peaceful and relaxing，Nik said his biggest challenges came from a totally unexpected source－his 40 pound balancing pole.The balancing pole was so heavy that he could hardly carry it on the tightrope.
One would think that now that Nik has realized his lifelong dream he would be ready to hang up his “balancing pole”．However，the adventurer who already has seven Guinness World Records under his belt，is just getting started－Next up? A 5，000－foot tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon.While the one across the Niagara Falls took years of planning because he had to convince the US and Canadian officials，this one should happen in the very near future.That"s because，the Florida resident has already been granted(授予) a permit by the Canyon officials.
小题1:Why did so many people fix their attention on the event?

| B．What Nik would do when he lost his balance on the tightrope. |

“Mr.Lucky” is from London，in his late thirties and appears wearing rolled－up jeans and with a camera around his neck.Working for an insurance company abroad，he earned his fortune and resigned last year after having realized he had more money than he knew what to do with.
“I once booked myself a flight into space；I thought I"d fulfill my childhood dream.Then I told my friends and when the conversation changed to what they would do if they had that amount of money，I felt embarrassed.Their ideas were much more generous，interesting and responsible than mine，” said Mr.Lucky.After canceling his space flight and struggling to choose a worthy cause for his cash，he decided to set up the WeAreLucky project.“I didn"t want to just pass on my luck；I also wanted to share the responsibility.I decided to give away ￡1，000 every day.I"d asked the receivers to fill in a brief questionnaire to explain their intentions in using the money.”
But is handing over the responsibility to others really a responsible thing to do? How does he know the money will be used properly? “I"m not going to judge or start checking up on them.Sometimes what we need to do is just believing others，” he said with nearly childlike enthusiasm.
小题1:How do people feel when offered ￡1，000 by “Mr.Lucky”？

| C．Embarrassed. | D．Stressful. |

Born in 1955 into a rural family，Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager.He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the Cultural Revolution (1966－1976)．
Less than half an hour after the announcement，Mo"s works turned to soldout status at China"s major online book sellers.One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: “Rushed to purchase，but to my shame，I have not read any of his novels.”
Although Mo was entitled one of the top domestic literature awards before the Nobel Prize，he is not the most popular novelist in China，in either the book market or in reputation.
Mo"s novel “Big Breasts & Wide Hips，” translated by Howard Goldblatt，tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered hardship and intertwined fates with Chinese people in the 20th century.His more recent work “Frog” more directly criticized China"s onechild family policy，which helped control the country"s population explosion but also brought tragedies to rural residents in the past 60 years.
“I think the reason why I could win the prize is because my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics，and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings，which is above differences of nations and races，” Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists.Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown，such as clay sculpture，paper cuts，traditional new year paintings，have inspired and influenced his novels.
With more Chinese writers like Mo，the world could learn a more real China.Perhaps，this is another reason for the Swedish Academy"s choice.
小题1:What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
| A．Mo"s life experiences. | B．Mo"s family life. |
| C．Mo devoted himself to writing. | D．Mo had a gift for writing. |
| A．Mo didn"t got any national awards before he won the Nobel Prize. |
| B．Mo was the top novelist in China before he won the Nobel Prize. |
| C．Mo"s novels have attracted many people to read. |
| D．Mo"s novels are all based on his daily life. |
| A．Clay sculpture. | B．Paper cuts. |
| C．Folk arts. | D．Beijing opera. |
| A．Big Breasts & Wide Hips" leading role is one happy mother |
| B．Big Breasts & Wide Hips criticized China"s onechild family policy |
| C．Frog came out earlier than Big Breasts & Wide Hips |
| D．Frog shows benefit as well as shortcoming of one China"s policy |
Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005，she was fighting for her life.“Is she going to make it？”Her trainer，Abbey Stone，feared the worst.Grace did make it—but her tail didn’t.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years，she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone.So a company offered to create a manmade tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail，she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now，she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time，others not at all.“The new tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable，”says Stone，“but it helps to keep that range of motion (动作) and build muscles (肌肉)．”
Now，the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month，Grace will star in Dolphin Tale，a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her.Seeing Grace swim with her manmade tail gives people so much courage.
小题1:When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park，her trainer worried about her________.
| A．physical build |
| B．potential ability |
| C．chance of survival |
| D．adaptation to the surroundings. |
| A．let her recover faster |
| B．make her comfortable |
| C．adjust her way of swimming |
| D．help her perform better tricks |
| A．stick to their dreams |
| B．treat animals friendly |
| C．treasure what they have |
| D．face difficulties bravely |
“If you come by right now，”the receptionist said，“the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office，I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my icecold one.
When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently.
“Come on，he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork，”the assistant said.
“The artwork？”I was puzzled.
The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture，right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was！At that moment，I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

| A．Because the dentist came at last. |
| B．Because she saw a picture on the ceiling. |
| C．Because she could relax in the chair. |
