小题1:A小题1:B小题1:B小题1:D小题1:C
解析
小题1:选A。由“It is too expensive”和其后的用语“that bird”推知此处表示喂养这只鸟花了不少钱。
小题1:选C。由“get rid of it”和后文可知，Sam想要留下那只鸟。
小题1:选D。由后文的“a small rabbit”和第三段第四句可推知，这是一只会打猎的食肉鸟。
小题1:选D。根据“once a famous”和后面的故事可知，现在已经很少有人知道这只鸟了。
小题1:选B。根据“flew into the sky”可知，在此时，鸟儿张开它巨大的翅膀飞向天空。
小题1:选B。由其后的宾语“a small rabbit”和上文可知其飞回来了，而且叨着一只小兔子。
小题1:选C。由上文可知下一步是吃了兔子。
小题1:选A。分析前后分句的关系可知选择连词as，表示Sam照着他爷爷那样做了一遍。
小题1:选A。由“. . . to the ground and stood still. ”可知，鸟儿一定是坠落到地上了，因为它不准备飞行。
小题1:选C。由后文中的“laughed again”可知，此时Sam的叔叔笑了。
小题1:选D。根据“in late afternoon when light was less. . . ”可知选择形容词strong，表示下午的光线不太强烈。
小题1:选B。由“in late afternoon”可知，Sam和他的叔叔应该是在晚饭前出来的。
小题1:选B。看到“the bird caught a mouse”，他的叔叔非常惊讶。
小题1:选D。根据“We can’t eat mice”可知，此时他的叔叔想说这只鸟是没用的。
小题1:选B。由后文可知，他的叔叔把鸟卖给别人了，所以此时选gone，表示在Sam发现鸟不见了之前。
小题1:选A。根据“angry”可知，两个人一定是向他的叔叔大喊大叫。
小题1:选B。根据“wanted their money back”和“I have spent it. ”可知，他的叔叔没法还钱，看起来很忧虑，因为他的叔叔已经把钱用了。
小题1:选B。用“point”很好地形容了叔叔无助但又拼命解释的样子。
小题1:选D。分析前后两个分句的意思，此处选择how表示Sam将会给你们展示如何让这只鸟猎捕东西。
小题1:选C。由最后的“. . . flew away and disappeared forever. ”可知，Sam在车里取出的是鸟。

As the girl grew older, things got worse. Hilt fell into a deep depression. She started drinking heavily, something she’d never done before. Ashamed, she hid her problem from everyone, including her husband.
On the morning of July 1, 2005, Hilt was packing for a family vocation, all the while swallowing one beer after another and growing increasingly angry and impatient with Nina’s deeds. “Everything she did just got to me,” Hilt said. When Hilt caught her reaching into her diaper（尿布）and smearing feces（粪便）on the walls and furniture, “a year and a half of frustration came to a head,” Hilt says. “I snapped（崩溃). I felt this uncontrollable rage.”
Then Hilt did something unthinkable. She grabbed Nina around the neck, shook her and then dropped her to the floor, where she kicked her repeatedly before dragging her up to her room, punching her as they went. “I had never hit a child before,” she says. “I felt horrible and promised myself that this would never happen again.” But it was too late for that. Nina woke up with a fever, and then started throwing up. The next day she stopped breathing. By the time the ambulance got the child to the hospital, she was dead.
Hilt is now serving a 19-year sentence for second-degree murder in a Virginia prison. She and her husband divorced, and he is raising their other daughter. She realizes the horror of her crime and says she isn’t looking for sympathy. “There is no punishment severe enough for what I did,” she told NEWSWEEK in an interview at the prison.

“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his 36 fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．
The car accident has left me unconscious．When 37 , I found both legs in casts（石膏）．While I had other serious injuries, my 38 were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being 39 in a wheelchair．
Lying in my bed, I wondered how I 40 give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would 41 ．He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw 42 in his eyes． He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever．
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when misfortune 43 ．
It didn’t take me long to become 44 with my limited movements and even with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me．I was determined to learn everything they showed me．
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be 45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor, 46 on to the bed rail（床栏杆） for dear life, and slowly putting my weight 47 my feet．After several weeks of such difficult 48 , my strength and confidence continued to 49 ．
It came the time to share my accomplishments with the person most 50 to me．One night, when I heard my son greet the nurses at the station, I 51 myself up．As he opened the door, I took a few small steps． 52 , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed．All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle 53 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”
I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many 54 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy 55 by those four little words of my son．

As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow．We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop．After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day．We started down the mountain in the thick snow．Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them．As he was returning to us, he started to fall．
His fall started an avalanche（雪崩） and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me．“Are you OK?” he asked．
“I think I broke my leg,” I answered．
“I’d better radio for help!” he said．“Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere．
Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away．It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter． The helicopter couldn’t land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs, and a stretcher（担架）．One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others．The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow．
Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary’s scarf and led the rescuers to her．Maurice was nearby．The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter．Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes．I went first on the stretcher．
Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix．Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain．Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives．

| B．The loss of the sunglasses． |
| C．The injury of the team members． |
| D．The unexpected height of the mountain． |
| A．The road was covered with snow． |
| B．His companion knocked into him． |
| C．The heavy clouds blocked his view． |
| D．The avalanche caused a fall for him． |

When you took my bag, I don"t know what you thought you were going to get．With my wages, there"s not much left on a Tuesday．I hope the ￡5 was useful to you ．I have informed the social security office so you won"t be able to cash the child benefit next week ．I hope that won"t leave you too short．But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book．Of course,I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you ．
Actually I don"t mind about the money too much．We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash ．However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you．Sorry about that!
I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book．There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need．I really think that was very inconsiderate of you ．I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?
Well, perhaps the bag will turn up．It wasn"t even an expensive one．just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag．You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We"ve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop．
I"m not really angry with you．I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things．I feel violated and helpless．The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸） their shoulders．"It happens all the time," they told me ．Some small comfort, I suppose．But I"ve lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn"t answer that question．I wonder if you can．
小题1:In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to ．
| A．describe the contents of the bag in detail． |
| B．give some suggestions to the three thieves |
| C．tell the thieves hardly any money was available |
| D．state the fact that she was careless with the money |
| A．The cash in her bag． | B．The papers and notes in the bag． |
| C．The handbag itself． | D．The check books in the bag． |
| A．They have doubts about human nature． |
| B．They show sympathy for the woman． |
| C．They think the case quite common． |
| D．They are unable to find the thieves． |
| A．To give the thieves a serious warning． |
| B．To complain about the fall of morality． |
| C．To call people’s attention to their belongings． |
| D．To express her affection for her valuable bag． |
Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions．They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors．There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed．As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory．The controversy is often referred to as “nature and nurture”．
Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors．That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory．Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts（本能）．
Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act．A behaviorist, B．F．Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings．The behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans’ respond to environmental stimuli（刺激） as the basis of their behavior．
Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching．In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests．This leads some “anature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites．Behaviorists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do．
Either of these theories cannot yet fully explain human behavior．In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes．That the controversy will continue for a long time is certain．
小题1:This passage is mainly concerned with ．
| A．relation between personality and behavior |
| B．relation between behavior and environment |
| C．different accounts of patterns of human behavior |
| D．different theories of the formation of human behavior |
| A．creators | B．advisors | C．advocates | D．judges |
| A．the considerable influence of the two theories |
| B．differences between the blacks and whites |
| C．racial discrimination in the United States |
| D．different responds to intelligence tests |
| A．To call our attention to the changes of human behavior． |
| B．To urge scientists to do more research in social science． |
| C．To give us a detailed explanation of human behavior． |
| D．To present an argument in the field of social science． |
