It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the 41 . I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30.
The nurse had him take a 42 in the waiting area, 43 him it would be at least 40 minutes 44 someone would be able to see him. I saw him 45 his watch and decided, since I was 46 busy — my patient didn’t 47 at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment.
The gentleman said no and told me that he 48 to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his 49 . He told me that she had been 50 for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be 51 if he was a bit late. He replied that she 52 knew who he was, and that she had not been able to 53 him for five years now. I was 54 , and asked him, “And you 55 go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back 56 as he left.
Now I 57 that in marriages(婚姻), true love is acceptance of all that is. The happiest people don’t 58 have the best of everything; they just 59 the best of everything they have. 60 isn’t about how to live through the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

小题1:B.根据下文知道是去医院hospital。
小题1:C. 关键名词就在后面waiting room。这个词break有可能选，但是break之前一定要很紧张才行，这里老汉没有紧张。
小题1:D. 护士对一个老汉能做的动作，最符合逻辑的是telling，告诉。 promising 表示许诺，有可能选，再看宾语就可以排除，at least 40 minutes 没有一个承诺是这样子的，我保证你至少要等四十分钟，不是承诺这是诅咒。
小题1:B. 在医生诊断他之前before要等待。
小题1:C. 看动作的发出者，一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，肯定是look at 看手表这个选项。
小题1:D. not
小题1:A. 词组，表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明，我不是很忙，因为我的病人在appointed hour 里面没有出现。appoint 这个词除了任命的意思，还有约时间的意思。B. show off 是“炫耀”的意思。
小题1:A考察动词搭配，用排除法。B forget是“忘记”，他忘记了回去吃饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment。C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”，在文中没人提要求，所以不存在同意不同意。D happen to do“碰巧做某事”。
小题1:B名词找重复，这里重复再后面，刚做的时候放一放，第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段，那么选老婆这个选项。
小题1:D she had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了，有难度，其他几个选项的中文意思比较模棱两可， A. late 要迟到的是老头子，不是他老婆。 B. well 她老婆身体很健康。 C.老婆曾经在他身边。
小题1:B. 根据词义辨析。lonely“孤独的”，worried 是“焦虑的，担心的”的意思，doubtful“怀疑的”，hungry“饥饿的”。
小题1:C. 结合后文，49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 表示否定2者。
小题1:A. 之前见过，现在认不出来。
小题1:C. 表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并没有很明显的作者的正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不认识你，还是每天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的体现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。
小题1: D. 表示状态的持续，B. then 表示时间先后，C. thus 表示因果。
小题1: B. 关键在前面的动词hold back忍住，忍回去。忍回去的只有泪水。
小题1:A. realize表示主观意识到。
小题1: A. 这个词的意思是必要地，这句话的意思是最幸福的人并不一定是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。
小题1:B. 考查动词和名词的搭配， make the best of充分利用，就是说他们可以没有最好的东西，但是他们充分利用了他们所拥有的东西。C选项favor 不能选，因为表示的意思是偏好，在这里没有比较爱人认得你还是不认得你，所以不选。
小题1:D. 生活并不是要经历暴风雨，而是要学会苦中作乐。 |

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horse back riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

I will never forget the two impressive things that happened last winter. One of my classmates and I were 36 our project work late at night on my university"s campus far from home. Since there was 37 in the forecast, I had worn a winter 38 to school that day with a raincoat in my bag.
Throughout our work on the project, I could 39 that my friend was tired from a very long day working. As we stepped outside to begin the 40 walk home, I 41 she was shivering(颤抖). The temperature had dropped to the low thirties (Fahrenheit) and she 42 had a swea ter on. I 43 offered her my warm jacket. She accepted it and asked me what I 44 wear then. I told her I had another one and pretended that my 45 was a jacket. She said later that she 46 the next morning and the first thing on her mind was feeling moved about my 47 of the jacket.
Coincidentally(碰巧), the next day I went to an open-air play and I was freezing 48 I didn’t expect it to be so 49 . A person who I hardly 50 insisted that I wear his jacket. I was 51 touched by this warm gesture. He was so matter-of-fact(讲究实际的) about me 52 his coat, too: he simply took it off and handed it to me telling me that I should 53 it. I used to think that this vast universe was a cold 54 . It turns out that even when the temperature drops low, the people never 55 to warm each other"s hearts.

Bears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to people’s food, problems soon arise.
Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears’ tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.
Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch won’t help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.
小题1:Feeding bears on people’s food .| A．brings the people a lot of fun | B．can cause problems | | C．often causes injuries and deaths | D．helps bears survive |
小题2:If people had never fed bears, the bears .| A．might be satisfied with what they had originally | | B．would have starved long before | | C．wouldn’t have enough food supply | | D．would have hunted for other kind of food |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?| A．If fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the bears would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects . | | B．It’s likely that bears would hurt people if the people didn’t give up their food. | | C．Most people would frighten away the bears that would temp their food. | | D．Seeing a pack, the bear would quickly snatch it and run away with it. |
小题4:Bear-proof containers didn’t work because .| A．bears were clever enough to get the food in them | | B．they were left open in the open air | | C．people were not sure of their use | | D．they were once used as rubbish cans |

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?
小题1: It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.| A．are lying on the ground | B．have an unpleasant taste | | C．bees don’t like | D．have an unfamiliar shape |
小题2:According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.
| A．waving its branches | B．giving off a special smell | | C．dropping its leaves | D．changing the colour of its trunk |
小题3:According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.| A．making special movement | B．touching one another | | C．smelling one another | D．making unusual sound |
