试题分析：本文讲述的一个很有诚信的擦皮鞋的小男孩，在被躲雨的人冲散以后仍然等到半夜归还我的皮鞋，而且把皮鞋保护得很好。
小题1:C短语辨析。A穿上（表示动作）B穿着（宾语是人）C穿着（表示状态）D穿坏了。句意：我穿着一双刚买的皮靴。表示我进入咖啡店的时候的状态。故A正确。
小题2:A 上下文串联。根据下文He looked about eleven or twelve.可知他是一个擦皮鞋的小男孩。
小题3:D 语法分析。动词look与句子主语he之间构成主动关系，故使用现在分词looking做状语。
小题4:A 语法分析。No sooner…than…一…就…；其中的no是否定句放在句首要使用部分倒装的形式。而且根据句意我一开始说话他就给我擦皮鞋，前面使用过去完成时的时态。

小题6:B 固定搭配。Pour down倾倒。指大雨倾盆而下。
小题7:C 上下文串联。根据上文heavy rain可知下雨了，人们都到咖啡店里躲雨了。
小题8:A 动词辨析。A分开B联系C参加D分开（分成几部分）；这里是指人很多，把我们分开了。
小题9:C 考察语法。在英语中只有it可以指代天气，时间等。这里的It就是指天，天黑了。
小题10:B 上下文串联。我和他被人群分开了，我想知道他会在那里。
小题11:D 动词辨析。A擦亮B清洁C转身D归还；我以为他不会再归还我的鞋子了。
小题12:C 上下文串联。我的鞋子在他那里，我只能赤脚走回家了，故C正确。
小题13:C 动词辨析。A/B开始C结束D来；到了半夜的时候，大雨停止了，咖啡店也要关门了。
小题14:B 语法分析。本句的be to do sth表示的将来时，而且表示的是被动语态的形式。
小题15:A 介词辨析。Lean against依靠着….他的头靠着盒子他睡着了。
小题16:B 动词辨析。A覆盖B摇晃C/D抓住;我轻轻地摇他，把他唤醒。
小题17:C 词义辨析。A感谢B理解C认出D经过；因为他睡着了，在认出我之前他在揉眼睛。
小题18:D 名词辨析。A钱包B手臂C鞋子D包裹；根据下文可知他用衬衫把我的鞋子包着。
小题19:C 考察时态。他用衬衫包裹我的皮鞋这件事情发生在这之前，故使用过去完成时。

Bill Gates was born on October 28th, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II, was a Seattle lawyer. Mary Gates, their late mother, was a school teacher.
 Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer soft ware, programming computers at age 13.
In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who is now Microsoft"s president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version (版本) of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer---the MITS Astair. In his junior year, Gates dropped out of Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the personal computer would be a valuable tool on every office desk-top and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.
Gates" foresight has led to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. He plays an important role in the technical development of new products. Much of his time is devoted to meeting with customers and staying in touch with Microsoft employees around the world through e-mail.
In the dozen years since Microsoft went public, Gates has donated more than $ 800 million to charities, including $ 200 million to the Gates Library Foundation to help libraries in North America make use of new technologies and the Information Age.

For years I wanted a flower garden．But then we had Matthew．And Marvin．And the twins, Alisa and Alan．And then Helen．Five children．I was too busy raising them to grow a garden．
Money was tight, as well as time．Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I" d have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn"t grow on trees, you now．”
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own．
One spring morning, on Mother"s Day, I was working in my kitchen．Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by．I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard．I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches．Then I put my glasses on－and I couldn"t believe what I saw．
There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look．It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree．Think of" all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: ‘‘IOU eight hours of digging time．Love, Marvin．"

That was three years ago．My garden"s now very pretty, just like I wanted．When I go out and tend my flowers, I don"t seem to miss my children as much as I once did．I feel like they"re right there with me．
I"m still not sure that money grows on trees．But I know love does!

On the border, a pack of wild dogs circled the soldiers for food． The leader of the pack was a gray- and-white dog called Nubs． He was 11 and hardly able to stand． Marine major Brian Dennis looked 12 and saw that there was a knife wound in his chest．
Dennis couldn"t stand seeing the dog 13_．He and his men immediately treated the wound, and gave Nubs medicine．Nubs pulled through but was still in 14 ．The next day, the team had to 15 . Ten days later, Dennis" unit was back, and so was Nubs． He was still 16 ，but the men fed him and played with him．
Before long the unit once again left for the front 70 miles away． Nubs, slowly but 17 , followed them far into the trackless wasteland _ 18 the men lost sight of him．Two days later, beyond Dennis" 19 , he saw Nubs just outside the outpost（前哨）．The dog had 20 him across 70 miles of frozen desert to meet with the friend who had 21 his life．From then on Nubs and the men 22 in the same place, and ran around in the same ruins（废墟）．
Until an order came that they were not 23_ to have pets, Dennis decided to make sure the dog would 24 _ to live the good life．So he quickly raised $4,000 from his family and friends to 25 Nubs to America．
A year later, when Dennis and the dog were 26 in California, at first Nubs didn"t 27 the guy．But within minutes, the dog jumped into Dennis" arms, jumping 28 again and again to lick his friend"s face．

The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring（轻微颤动声）of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches. She’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way...
