A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting( attracting) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The  boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, __36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 37, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the __38__ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe, _39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest __40__he was unable to touch it. He began to __41__ up and down, as high as he could, at the _42 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of _43_.
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 44 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 45 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking 46 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or,  47 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighbourhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. 48 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 49 . At first, he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 50 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 51 like this, the more unhappy he became.
52 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t 53 . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad as well. There is 54 more I can do to get the apple— that is unchangeable —but we are supposed to be able to  55 our feelings. If that is the case, what can I do to feel better.

解析
试题分析:本文是记叙文,讲述了一个小男孩摘水果摘不到,后来清醒地认识到自己再努力苹果也不会得到。说明面对无法解决的问题,我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。
小题1:A 根据前面的句子可知,男孩并不是很喜欢吃水果,因此如果要他选择的话,他更喜欢吃一块巧克力。
小题2:C 根据下面的句子“禁果诱人”可判断,上下文之间是转折关系,所以选择but。
小题3:C 根据下文第50个空所在的句子中出现的hungry一词可判断,此处选择hungrier,表示“他越看那只苹果就越觉得肚子饿”。
小题4:B 为了够到那只苹果,小男孩踮起脚尖,尽可能把身体伸展到最高的程度。expand扩大,扩充,扩展;stretch伸展,舒展;swing摆动,摇动;pull拉,扯,拔。
小题5:D 根据语境可知,小男孩是站着伸手去够苹果,因此此处指的是身体的高度,不是力量、长度或范围。
小题6:A 根据生活常识可判断,既然小男孩站着够不到苹果,他只能开始上下跳跃。
小题7:C 每次跳到最高的时候,小男孩就伸长了胳膊去够苹果。at the top of在……顶部或顶端。
小题8:D 根据下文可知,小男孩最终没有摘到苹果。out of reach是固定短语,意为“手够不着, 达不到”。
小题9:B 根据下文内容可知,小男孩没有放弃,他想如果自己踩在某些东西上面就能够到苹果了。
小题10:A 小男孩身上背着书包,可他不想弄坏里面装的东西。break在此处表示“弄坏,折断”。
小题11:D 根据上下文内容可知,为了找到能踩在脚下的东西,小男孩四处环顾。look around四处环顾。
小题12:B 小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子,一块大石头,或者,如果顺利的话,能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利,为了祈求好运;with luck如果一切顺利的话;其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。
小题13:C 小男孩尝试了所有的方法,在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下,小男孩只好放弃了。
小题14:B 没有办法摘到苹果,小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。
小题15:C 根据上文可知,小男孩做了很多努力,因此耗尽了力气,觉得又累又饿。
小题16:A 此处表示他越是这样想,就越觉得不开心。
小题17:B 根据上下文内容可知,此处存在的是转折关系,所以选择however“然而,可是”。
小题18:D 根据下文内容可知,小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题,觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助,不能从根本上解决问题。
小题19:D 结合上文内容可知,小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了,苹果也不会得到了。
小题20:A 小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华:面对无法解决的问题,我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。
点评:此篇文章内容贴近,情节简单明晰。文章词汇和句式结构均不复杂,设题通过上下文推断和常识推断可以得出。是贴近生活的话题,记叙文体裁为主,理解和交际为目的,而词汇句式多为高频词汇。最后还有情感升华。

举一反三
To Whom It May Concern:
On March 5, 2012 , I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit from your store at Midfield Shopping Center. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”.
Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried grapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce . I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.
When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect” muffins.
I would appreciate a full refund( money to be returned) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Michelle Bauer

If you are planning on traveling, there are few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at he airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination(目的地) before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome of Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
小题1:Where is the writer most probably from?
A.BritainB.The USAC.ItalyD.Greece
小题2:When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he      .
A.asked the driver to give him a free ride
B.offered to pay in pounds
C.gave the driver some fake(假) money
D.tried to pay by credit card
小题3:Generally, in May the weather in London is     .
A.warm and dryB.cold and dry
C.hot and wetD.cool and rainy
小题4:The writer mainly tells us      .
A.how to make life easier
B.how to be well prepared for a trip
C.how to enjoy ourselves on trip
D.how to schedule our trip
