Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly that you would rather die than go? Well that’s how I      about joining Madcaps, a mothers and daughters club assisting philanthropies(慈善事業(yè)).But now I believe that you     open up your mind to things because eventually you might     end up enjoying it.

“It’s a waste of time”, I said when my mom told I had to join Madcaps, and then when she said I had to      at a homeless shelter I thought this just could not be      .

We got there late, of course, and the security guard led us to the kitchen    we ran into 48 other fellow Madcaps members. Since I’m     so socially awkward(糟糕的) I had met only one person at a pool party, earlier this year. I looked around for her but she was not there. Damn, I was     ! When the man in charge came out and asked for 3 mothers to work outside the      to clean up the plates, my mom just happened to volunteer leaving me to      food with others.

Soon the     families started to walk in and a little girl walked up and pointed to the food I was     I gave her the cold sandwich, she nodded in a form of saying      , and then walked to join her family at the large table.

As she walked away I thought of how much I       I get to go the top schools. I have a great house and I have a warm meal every night. It     that little girl to make me realize how lucky I am. After that moment I had a change of     . Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting, I have       being socially awkward and now have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do      the required 20 hours of philanthropies.

I believe that if you have an     mind about things you can accomplish more and become a better rounded person. I believe sometimes you can make a difference just     doing one thing you don’t want to do .

試題分析:本文通過作者從開始的時候不愿意參加慈善事業(yè),到后來積極參加。告訴我們真正的快樂是在我們放開自己的心靈幫助他人的時候。

1.C 動詞辨析。A關(guān)心;B開玩笑;C感覺;D懷疑;你是否有過非常不愿意做某事以至于你寧愿死也不愿意做的時候?這就是我要參加Madcaps時候的感覺。本句是指我參加Madcaps的時候也有那種寧愿死也不去做的感覺。故使用feel,因?yàn)楸揪涫沁^去時,使用felt。

2.A 情態(tài)動詞辨析。A應(yīng)該;B會;C也許;D能夠,可能;但是現(xiàn)在我認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該對那些新鮮事物打開你的思維,因?yàn)榈阶詈竽銜矚g上那些新鮮事物的。Should應(yīng)該,強(qiáng)調(diào)這樣是正確的。

3.B 副詞辨析。A也;B會,正好(表示強(qiáng)調(diào));C不;D仍然;本句表示的是強(qiáng)調(diào)到最后我們也許會喜歡上原來自己不喜歡的事情。

4.D 動詞辨析。A報告;B生活;C捐助;D志愿做;根據(jù)第一段中的assisting philanthropies(慈善事業(yè))可知做的是慈善事業(yè),故使用volunteer志愿做某事。

5.D 形容詞辨析。A更好;B更早;C更容易;D更糟糕;根據(jù)文章第一段可知我不愿意做這樣的事情,所當(dāng)媽媽要我這樣做的時候,我感覺非常糟糕。使用形容詞的比較級與否定詞連用表示最高級的意思。

6.A 語法分析。本句是一個定語從句,先行詞是the kitchen,后面的定語從句結(jié)構(gòu)很完整,故使用關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)起這個定語從句,并在句中做狀語。

7.D 副詞辨析。A突然;B偶爾;C幾乎不;D正常地;上下文之間存在著因果關(guān)系。因?yàn)槲以谏缃环矫嬲J呛茉愀獾,所以我的朋友不多,這里我只認(rèn)識一個人。

8.C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)I looked around for her but she was not there.可知我認(rèn)識的那個人也不在這里,所以我是獨(dú)自一人在那里。故使用alone獨(dú)自,單獨(dú)。

9.A 上下文串聯(lián)。據(jù)41空前the security guard led us to the kitchen可知這是我們是在廚房里,那么負(fù)責(zé)人找三個人到廚房外面幫助洗東西。

10.C 動詞辨析。A收拾,整理;B購買;C服務(wù),提供;D烘烤;媽媽志愿出去幫忙,留下我給別人提供食物。這里的serve指我給別人提供服務(wù),給他們提供食物。

11.B 形容詞辨析。A可憐的;B無家可歸的;C志愿的;D當(dāng)?shù)氐;?jù)下文的描述可知這些人都是一個無家可歸的人,他們到這里接受幫助。

12.D 短語辨析。A玩弄;B收拾,整理;C尋找;D拿出;很快那些無家可歸的人都進(jìn)來了, 一個小女孩走了過來指著我拿出的那些食物。本句是指下有人向我要食物吃。

13.C 上下文串聯(lián)。我給了這個小女孩食物,自然她要向我表示感謝,故使用thanks。

14.A 動詞辨析。A擁有;B掙得;C獲得;實(shí)現(xiàn);D做;當(dāng)小女孩走了的時候,我意識到自己上了最好的學(xué)校,自己是多么的幸運(yùn)!擁有的東西是多么的多。

15.B 固定句式。It takes sb some sth to do sth做某事花費(fèi)某人…;本句是指那個小女孩讓我意識到自己是多么的幸運(yùn)!引起了作者的感慨,認(rèn)為做這樣的事情是值得的。

16.A 名詞辨析。A心靈;B運(yùn)氣;C身份;D品味;從那一刻以后我的想法有了一個很大的改變。我認(rèn)為我所參加的活動是十分有意義的。

17.C 短語辨析。A信任;B向…學(xué)習(xí);C克服;D思考;根據(jù)下文have many friends可知我交到了很多的朋友,說明我克服了自己社交不好方面的困難,有了很多朋友,故C正確。

18.A 短語辨析。A不僅僅;超過;B僅僅,只不過;C絕不;D少于;因?yàn)樽约旱南敕ㄓ辛烁淖,所以我今年做的慈善事業(yè)的時間超過了要求的20小時。More than后面接數(shù)字的時候,表示超過。

19.D 形容詞辨析。A勤奮的;B抽象的;C空的;D開放的;我認(rèn)為如果你有了一個開放的思想,你就能夠完成更多的事情,你就會成為更為全面的人。Open與第一段中我不愿意做社交方面的事情形成呼應(yīng)。

20.B 介詞辨析。By表示通過某種方法或者手段;句義:我認(rèn)為有時候我們可以通過做一些我們不愿意做的事情來對別人產(chǎn)生影響。

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.

I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.

Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇員) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?

My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.

That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.

“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!

“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!

“How much did all of this coat?”

“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”

I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

1.From the first two paragraph we can conclude that the author        

A.had no experience using computers

B.had no idea of what e-commerce is

C.only used the Internet to check e-mail

D.thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time

2.The writer didn’t find out about e-commerce until       

A.he stopped web-surfing

B.he visited a store in his backyard

C.his sister explained the packages she got by mail

D.his friends told him about the online deals they made

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author       .

A.never enjoyed shopping that much

B.loves the big store in her backyard

C.feels she is a true master of the Internet

D.has begun to enjoy online shopping

4.What’s the purpose of the article?

A.To tell the readers how he begins online shopping.

B.To do business on the Internet.

C.To make an online shopping ad.

D.To advise people not to do online shopping

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(不經(jīng)意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the toxin. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile -- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear!

1. Why did the author smiled to the jailer first?

A. Because he wanted to make friends with the jailer.

B. Because he wanted to give a good impression on the jailer.

C. Because he wanted to share the cigarette with the jailer.

D. The reason was unknown to him and us.

2. Which of the following is the fight order according to the story?

a. I was set free at the edge of town.

b. I wanted to borrow a light from the jailer.

c. I was arrested and quite frightened.

d. I took out the pictures of my family.

e. The jailer took out the pictures of his family.

A. c, b, e, d, a     B. b, c, d, a, e            C. c, b, d, e, a            D. c, d, e, b, a

3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A. Before the author was released, he had stayed there for a long time.

B. Both of the author and the jailer loved their families very much.

C. The author had no chance to see his family again.

D. The jailer was punished by his leader at last.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The use of smile                       B. Life in the jail.

C. The smile                                          D. Love is everywhere.
