答案

解析
26.be tired“劳累的”；根据上文语境中提到的slowly,carrying a big suitcase等等，这种情况产生的结果应该是tired。be hopeless“无希望的”；be lazy“懒的”；be anxious“焦急的”。答案为D。
27.父亲没踩到楼梯，“没踩到楼梯”英语用missed a step。miss表“错过”。答案为C。
28.由于父亲没踩到楼梯，摔了一跤，箱子滚下了楼梯。选项C干扰性比较大。dropping down(人)倒下，(风)突然停止。从情景上分析也可以排除选项C，当箱子落在楼梯上时，由于楼梯很窄，箱子会滚动下来。答案为A。
29.从上文可知，父亲没踩到楼梯，箱子滚下了楼，父亲就会发脾气。所以还会有麻烦。虽然suffering(遭受)，difficulty(困难)，danger(危险)符合文段的气氛，但都有过分夸张，不能作为正确答案。C项表示“麻烦”。答案为C。
30.look out小心。由于父亲没踩到楼梯，箱子滚下了楼，摔伤了腿，父亲的脸变红了。主人公知道无论什么时候父亲的脸变红，就要多加小心。A表示“继续”；C表示“坚持”；D表示“放弃”。答案为B。
31. 从下文中的screaming(大叫大嚷)一词可以判断lead(引导)、help(帮助)和encourage(鼓励)都不是正确答案，而要选get。get后接动词不定式，使某人做什么。答案为D。
32.主人公不知道如何才能使父亲在卸完车前不要冲着她大叫大嚷，在将与她一起上学的女孩子们面前使她出丑。答案为B。
33.本题中的beginning有很大的干扰性，一些考生只注意到主人公在这篇短文中讲述了开学前她去学校的情景，产生了误解，而没有注意到大学需要三四年的时间，这些女孩将和主人公一同度过。the rest of the year的意思是这一年剩余的时间。答案为D。
34.A项表示“吃力地”；因为父亲摔伤了腿，所以走路十分吃力。B项表示“匆忙地”；C项表示“用坚定的步伐”；D表示“好奇”。答案为A。
35.由于上文中所述的事，主人公感到自己大学生活是一个坏的开头。答案为C。
36.通读全文我们知道主人公是个大学新生，父亲正在带她到校报到，根据常识，他们首先应该赶快“找到”房间，不会搜寻(Search)或订(Book)房间；而Enter应该产生在“找到”之后，所以Find是正确答案。答案为B。
37.but then again是一个固定词组，“另一方面”。由于主人公遇到了那么多的麻烦，她希望能尽快找到房间，把父亲安顿下来，但她又产生了另外的担心。A表示“事实上”；B表示“偶然地”；C表示“再一次”。答案为D。
38.从下文中的提示the room wasn"t empty at all可以看出，主人公担心的是Room 316里面没有椅子，是一个空房间。答案为B。
39.Finally表示“最后；终于”。根据上文中所描述的一连串的事可以判断，最后终于找到了房间，主人公把钥匙插进了锁里。注意区分短语的意思：Meanwhile同时；Sooner or later迟早；At the moment在那时。答案为A。
40.因为主人公用钥匙打开门，所以要把门推开。根据上下文，“knock，force，tried”与文章不符。答案为C。
41.still“还是，仍然”。这时，父亲仍在抱怨着。even强调作用，“甚至”；A表示“转折”；B项表示“仅仅”。答案为D。
42.因为开头就不顺利，所以主人公所能期待的只能是更加糟糕的事。答案为A。
43.但接下来发生的事出于主人公的意料之外，所以主人公感到吃惊。C项to one"s surprise作状语，表“吃惊”。答案为C。
44.短文中虽然没有直接说明Amy的身份，但从下文中的college一词可判断出主人公是去上大学，和她同屋的人自然是室友。答案为A。
45.为了便于谈话，Amy把音乐关小。A表示“打开”；B表示“关小”；C表示“播放”；D表示“欣赏”。答案为B。
46.从下面的对话“And of course,you"re Mr Faber.”可知，Amy看着父亲。答案为A。
47. 从上下文所讲述的Amy的热情态度，我们可以判断出Amy与主人公父女谈话的表情应该是微笑着。答案为C。
48.因为Amy的和蔼可亲，使父亲的脸变得不那么红了。less red表比较“不那么红”，因为上文提到父亲。答案为C。
49.故事发展到此，整个气氛已经有了根本的转变，而就是在这时主人公的想法也有了转变。本题的四个选项有三个表示时间：soon，later,then，前两个时间都表示将来，与故事的发展不符。then这时，there表示地点，而地点并没有发生变化。答案为D。
50.由于Amy对主人公父女的态度，使主人公感到自己能与Amy成为好朋友。答案为B。

试题【I climbed the stairs slowly , carrying a big suitcase , my father following with】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For then hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that time—two dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.
49. Why did the writer have to take many jobs at that time?
A. To pay for his schooling.
B. To save for his future.
C. To support his family
D. To gain some experience
50. The following facts describe the terrible working conditions of the plant EXCEPT ______.
A. loading boxes in the freezing cold B. having limited time for breaks
C. working and studying at the same time D. getting no pay for lunch time
51. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The writer’s unhappy school life. B. The writer’s eagerness to earn money.
C. The writer’s experience to earn money. D. The writer’s hard work in an apple plant.
52. How is the text organized?
A. Topic—Argument—Explanation
B. Opinion—Discussion—Description
C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples
D. Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion
Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles（困扰） old Harold.
How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they"re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We"re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable."
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress （感情危机）. "Most women," says Rubin, "identified（认定） at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women"s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men"s relationships are marked by shared activities." For the most part, Rubin says, interactions （交往） between men are emotionally controlled -a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior."
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman"s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn"t unusual to hear a man say he didn"t know his friend"s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
71. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ______.
A. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband B. women have so much to share
C. women show little interest in ballgames D. he finds his wife difficult to talk to
72. Rubin"s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ______.
A. a male friend B. a female friendC. her parents D. her husband
73. According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?
A. Ending his marriage without good reason.
B. Spending too much time with his friends.
C. Complaining about his marriage trouble.
D. Going out to ballgames too often.
74. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?
A. Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.
B. Women are more serious than men about marriage.
C. Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
D. Women depend on others in making decisions.
75. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around _____.
A. happy and successful marriages B. friendships of men and women
C. emotional problems in marriage D. interactions between men and women
A child"s birthday party doesn"t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
"Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn"t have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Garlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created（制作）10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
"Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10."Anaclerio said, "and they"re very interactive（互动）and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations."
The standard ＄200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
72. The main purpose of writing this text is ____.
A. to share information about party planning
B. to introduce the joys of a birthday party
C. to announce a business plan
D. to sell a service
73. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that ____.
A. it brings parents and children closer together
B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
D. it provides a subject of conversation
74. What does the underlined word "hassle"（Paragraph 1） probably mean？
A. a party designed by specialists
B. a plan requiring careful thought
C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
D. a demand made by guests
75. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner？
