22.C 根据上下文可以判断。

24．B 对母亲的感激之情是不可数的，排除D；此句表示：我对她的感情与日俱增。根据意思，排除A和C。
25．C此处表示：母亲对我的爱没变，而我对母亲的爱却变了。
26 A此处表示：随着年岁的增长。根据意思排除C和D；wih后面不能跟句子，排除B。
27 D ordinary普通的；usual通常的；strict严格的；extraordinary了不起的，非凡的。此处表示：我越来越懂事了，我认识到她是个非常了不起的人。
28．A句意：这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔F却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过。
29 C A因此；B否则，要不然；C但是；D然而，但是。根据意思排除A和B；而however需要和后面的句子之间用逗号隔开，故选c。

33．B此处表示：对一个自以为什么都知道的大学生的宽容。
34．B此处是定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语，排除A和D；此处when="on" witch。
35．A此处表示：一个成年女子该怎样感谫}母亲依然如故的角色?感恩母亲跟女子的高兴程度、受训练的程度，以及举止得体与否没有关系。文章整体强调的是随着年龄增长，做女儿的对母爱体验增强，并且日益感激。故A最合适。
36．D A、B、C都是及物动词，后面不跟形容词，故排除；而remain是系动词，符合意思。
37．B此处表示：感谢她没有说：“我告诉过你，”而她本来可以说上许多次，这里强调母亲对孩子的耐心。

39．C句意：我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她——那是她该得到的——并帮助我朝她做出的榜样看齐。
40．B句意：我祈愿在孩子的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。

Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the

new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (称赞).
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希腊式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
She was as exciting and eccentric (怪异) in her personal life as in her dance.
小题1:According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?

A．Something to conquer.	B．A model for movement.
C．A place to find peace.	D．A symbol of disorder.

小题2:Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _________.

C．graceful

D．restrictive

小题3:Which of the following is not mentioned as an area of dance that Duncan worked to change?

A．The stage set.

B．The music.

C．Costumes.

D．Movements.

小题4:We can infer from the passage that the author _________.

A．appreciates modern dance very much	B．dislikes Isadora Duncan’s dance
C．thinks highly of individuality	D．knows a lot about modern arts

小题5:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Artists of the Last Century	B．Evolution of Dance in the 20th Century
C．Natural Movement in Dance	D．A Pioneer in Modern Dance

My bookshelves are full of dust — and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).
The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. “Remember me? I was given to you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship,” one whispers. Another says, “I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry.” And a third, “I was the book that made history so attractive to you.”
Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises — or better said, reunions — that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the shelf: “Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.” Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special: “With Love from Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965.” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers（激光）. It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn’t understand a bit of it, but I did learn what “laser” meant.
What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history. It’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms. The books I’ve read — and kept — are not just old friends. They are my résumé.
50. What could be said about the author?
A. He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.
B. He considers his books treasured possessions.
C. He has made a lot of notes in his books.
D. He is a lover of science books.
51. By saying that his books have voices, the author means ________ .
A. they bring back happy memories
B. they are recorded in human voice
C. they say a lot about human history
D. they offer good topics for discussion
52. What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books?
A. Finding some missing books.
B. Putting books in good order.
C. Learning something new from the books.
D. Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.
53. The underlined word “résumé” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. personal history B. precious notes
C. good companion D. simple life forms
