答案
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:C
小题4:A
小题5:A
小题6:D
小题7:C
小题8:A
小题9:D
小题10:B
解析
小题1:因mistake A for B （将A误以为B）是固定搭配。
小题2:由常识可知，报社应是“发布”消息，故用announce （give information about）。
小题3:由首句became a millionaire可知。
小题4:根据常识，看到自己本来死却报道死了这样的消息，特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论，应当是“不高兴，苦恼（unhappy or annoyed）”，不可能是“兴奋的（excited）”“高兴的（pleased）”“渴望的（anxious）”。
小题5:与destruction（毁灭）并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。
小题6:由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记（be remember with love and respect）”。
小题7:由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遗嘱（will）”中作的安排。
小题8:根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配，又结合常识，应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。
小题9:奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to…（对……作出贡献）是固定搭配。
小题10:这个题最有争议了。我认为这句话不可以直译为：诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。这不仅不合情理，也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。语言是非常灵活的，我们不妨来意译：好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛，否则他就是行尸走肉，灵魂早已死去。而这句话，则是作者对诺贝尔的评语。可以读得出来，作者对诺贝尔的晚年还是抱赞赏态度的。

举一反三
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
“Jack, did you hear me?”
“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it, ” Mom told him.
“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.
“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.
“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.” Jack said.
Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.
“The box is gone,” he said.
“What box?” Mom asked.
“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.
“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.
Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside,
“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.
Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”
“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.
“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.

When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim"s father was 48.
“I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father,” Dr. Smoller says. “He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years. “ Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.
Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
41. Jim was sent back to operation because ________.
A. his heart didn"t work well B. he expected a full recovery

D. the first one wasn"t well performed
42. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case?
A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s.
43. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that ________.
A. Jim"s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48
44. Which of the following could have strong effect on one"s physical health according to the text?
a. One’s genes. b. One’s life in childhood.
c. One’s physical education. d. The date of one’s birthday.
e. The opinions one has about something.
A. a, b, d B. a, b, e C. a, c, e D. b, c, d

A. Both Jim and his father died at the age of 48.
B. Jim often asked his father to do his homework.
C. Jim was believed to kill his father.
D. Most childhood events can cause cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

Today he cannot recall anything special about the chapter he wrote, or what 25 Mrs. Brauch gave him. 26 , what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.” Four words. They 27 his life.
“Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her 28 ,I went home and wrote a short story, 29 I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. Brauch for instruction. “She was 30 , helping and honest. She was just what I needed,” Dalkoff said.
