I was in P.E. when the planes hit the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. As soon as I got home and for weeks before, I saw the disaster 3 on TV. Seeing the innocent people running for their 4 as the debris(瓦砾) started coming down the fire and smoke rose out of the 5 brought tears to my eyes. I couldn’t help imagining what the people on the 6 and in the buildings were thinking and going through, not 7 what was going on. I admired the courage of the firefighters who rushed in and risked their own lives to 8 others. It tore my heart apart to watch the 9 looks on the faces of so many people who didn’t know if their loved ones were dead or alive while 10 in all the debris.
Then it 11 me: All my life I had thought mainly of myself. I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted.
A feeling of coldness 12 down my back, and I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily 13 to my family. My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again. I began to evaluate what a real 14 in life was.
This disaster 15 me that awful things can happen to anyone at any time. Now when my mom or dad or sister go somewhere, even if it’s just 16 the store, I try to remember to tell them that I love them because I know there is a 17 that I may never tell them that 18 .

解析
试题分析:本文的主要内容是:曾经的我很自我,只想到自己,在发生9.11这次灾难后,我恍然大悟,要珍惜身边的亲人。这次灾难让我明白了失去挚爱的亲人才是最令人痛不欲生的事情。
小题1: 根据your parents won’t give you the money for it,可知前面是我想要的摇滚乐光盘,后面是父母不给钱买,是转折关系,所以用but,故选C。
小题2: 根据下文Not getting a new CD is not going to break my life,可知这里描述life,后面说到当这样的事情发生,即前文中我想要买摇滚乐光盘,父母不给钱买的事情,所以应该是负态度词,排除C和D中性词。B描述人指不愉快的,描述物的意思为不舒适的,所以选择A。
小题3:动作的主语是disaster灾难。occur和strike都表示发生的瞬间,这里提到随后的几周,明显是已经发生了,所以排除。happen表示偶然、碰巧发生。所以应选unfold,表示展开,一种逐步深入的感觉。故选D。
小题4: 具体名词找重复或相关对应,这里的灾难、瓦砾、火、烟都和人们的生命有直接关系,所以选lives。故选A。
小题5: 具体名词找重复或相关对应,烟是从楼里冒出来,所以选buildings。故选B.
小题6:具体名词,发生灾难的人是飞机上和楼上的,所以选planes。故选B。
小题7:此题的关键在于找到动作发出者是谁,动作发出者是前面的people,即遇到灾难的人们。他们不知道发生了什么,所以选knowing。caring表示关心,很容易就可以排除。容易误选的只有believing,但是只要记得believing的根本含义是认为,和thinking相同,即可一起排除了,故选 D。
小题8:动作发出者是消防员,所以是冒生命危险拯救别人,故选B。
小题9:描述looks,那些不知道自己心爱的人生死的人们,一定是负态度形容词。puzzle表示不明白的疑惑感,severe表示周围情况的严重性,dirty是表面上脏的感觉,都不合适。所以选择desperate绝望的,描述人物心理。,故选D。
小题10:此题为被动考察,动作发出者是心爱的人,所以不能是hidden被藏在和placed被放在。found被发现后当然知道生死,所以是trapped被困在,故选C。
小题11:根据All my life I had thought mainly of myself. I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted可知我受到了打击,故选A。
小题12:根据下文I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily happened to my family可知这里想说一种冷的感觉从后背倾斜而下。故选C。
小题13:根据下文My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again可知这里想表达可能会发生在我家里,happen发生 compare比较 relate联系 turn转动,故选A。
小题14:根据下文I can live with those kinds of problems,故选B。
小题15:这次灾难教会了我可怕的事情可能随时发生在任何人身上,persuade说服 remind提醒inform通知,故选C。
小题16:表示方向、目的地,用介词to,故选A。
小题17:根据This disaster taughtme that awful things can happen to anyone at any time.可知有可能我今后再也不能和她们说我爱她们,故选 C。
小题18:根据My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see them again,故选D。
小题19:根据I can live with those kinds of problems可知经过这件事以后,不能买一张新的光盘已经不能破坏我的生活,故选D。
小题20:根据But losing someone I love可知失去至亲的人才会真正地令我痛不欲生,故选B。
点评:答题前一定要读懂全文,弄清文章要表达的思想,注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中,一定要认真分析,注意选项与上下文的关系,与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成,因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章,看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺,语意连贯。
核心考点
试题【When you’re a preteen, a huge problem might be that you just have to have a new 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
When the weather is good, Aaron Naparstek likes to pedal(用踏板踩)his two young kids to school on a special Dutch-made bicycle. Naparstek supports the new lane.
Aaron: The bike lane on Prospect Park West is really introducing a lot of new people to the idea that it’s possible to use a bike in New York City for transportation or to travel around. This is what 21st century New York City looks like.
Prospect Park West is still a one-way road, but where it used to have three lanes of car traffic, now it has two, plus a protected bike lane. Supporters say that makes the road safer for everyone, including pedestrians, by slowing down cars and taking bikes off the sidewalk. But some longtime residents disagree. Lois Carswell is president of a group called Seniors for Safety. She says the two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents who are used to one-way traffic.
Lois: We wanted a lane — the right kind of lane that would keep everybody safe, that would keep the bikers safe. But we want it to be done the right way. And it has not been done the right way.
Craig Palmer builds bars and restaurants in Manhattan. I was interviewing him for a different story when he brought up the bike lanes all on his own.
Craig: I think the biggest problem is that Bloomberg put all these bike lanes in. You took what used to be a full street and you’re shrinking it.
Then there are the Hasidic Jews in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who forced the city to remove a bike lane through their neighborhood. But polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support bike lanes by a margin of 56% to 39%. Bicycle advocate Caroline Samponaro of Transportation Alternatives calls that a mandate.
Caroline: If this was an election, we would have already had our victory. The public has spoken and they keep speaking. And I think, more importantly, the public is starting to vote with their pedals.
小题1:What does Aaron mean by saying “This is what 21st century New York City looks like.”?
A.There are hundreds of miles of new bike lanes in 21 st century New York City. |
B.Drivers slow down their cars and bikes are taken off the sidewalk in New York. |
C.Bikes are used as a means of transport in 21 st century New York City. |
D.It’s possible to make the streets safe for pedestrians in New York. |
A.Drivers lose parking spots and lanes for cars. |
B.The two-way bike lane is dangerous to older residents. |
C.We took what used to be a full street so the road is broader than before. |
D.The removal of one bike lane through a neighbourhood in Brooklyn was not supported by the majority of New Yorkers. |
A.the authority | B.the public | C.the supporters | D.the government |
A.Ride on National Bike-to-Work Day | B.A New Bike Lane Appears in New York |
C.A Bike Lane Divides New Yorkers | D.Who Wins an Election |
Most animals die soon after their childbearing years are over. Women, however, often live for many years after they stop having kids.
To try to understand why, researchers from Finland looked at birth and death records of two communities from the 18th and 19th centuries, one in Finland and one in Canada. In these communities, 537 Finnish women and 3,290 Canadian women were grandmothers who had lived past the age of 50.
For every decade they lived beyond 50, the researchers found that the women ended up with an average of two extra grandkids. It didn’t matter what the differences in health or living conditions were between the two communities or from family to family.
Grandchildren were also more likely to live into adulthood if their grandmothers were alive when they were born. If their grandmothers were younger than 60 at the time, that was even better. The study also found that women had children 2 to 3 years earlier if their own mothers were still alive at that time than those whose mothers had died.
The researchers suggested that grandmothers have provided important assistance in raising their grandchildren for at least the past 200,000 years. As a result, they helped extend everyone’s lifespan.
So, don’t take your grandma for granted!

Anxious parents say that cellphones are an important tool in holding New York city’s families together.
“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. It’s necessary in our everyday life.We have a washing machine. We have running water, and We have cellphones.”
Many American parents think cellphones connect them to their children on buses,getting out from subways, walking through unknown places.
“I have her call me when she gets out of school,”said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl’s mother. “No one in New York is going to let their child go to school without a cellphone”
What about the cellphone owners, the students? Most of the students said cellphones were essential and the cellphone was like all extra(额外的)hand or foot for them.
“I feel so empty,”said May Chom,1 4.There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone.It will be a really, really boring trip.”

It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man"s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become crazy when they are behind a steering-wheel .They are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish.All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to die surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience.Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable(不宜居住的) because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten.
It is high time that a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life.With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax(不严格)and even the strictest are not strict enough.A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate.Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done.The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year.Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person"s driving ability.Present drinking and driving laws should be revised much stricter.Speed limits should be required on all roads.Governments should lay down safety directions for car factories, as has been done in the USA.All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned.These measures may not sound good enough.But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths.After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.
小题1:What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists. |
B.Thousands of people are killed each year. |
C.The laws of some countries about driving are too lax. |
D.Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents. |
A.Society laughs at the motorists. |
B.Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns. |
C.Victims of accidents are nothing. |
D.Society easily forgives their rude driving. |
A.Driving can show his hidden qualities. |
B.Driving can show the other part of his personality. |
C.Driving can bring out his character. |
D.Driving can represent his manners. |
A.Build more highways. |
B.Stricter driving tests. |
C.Test drivers every three years. |
D.Raise age limit and make safety specifications. |
A.positive | B.unsatisfied | C.promising | D.unclear |
The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(处理器), or WPS as they are often called. 60% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.
There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.
But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.
Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.
小题1:Ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large computers because_________.
A.these companies had not enough money to buy such expensive computers |
B.these computers could not do the work that small computers can do today |
C.these computers did not come onto the market |
D.these companies did not need to use this new technology |
A.the saving of time and money |
B.the use of computers in small companies |
C.the wide use of word processors |
D.the decreasing number of secretaries |
A.some secretaries will lose their jobs |
B.daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours |
C.medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatly |
D.the British companies will make less money |
A.There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor. |
B.The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors. |
C.The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years. |
D.Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses. |
A.safety screens are of poor quality |
B.working at a VDU for a long time is good for one’s health |
C.more and more British offices will use word processors |
D.British companies will need fewer and fewer managers |
