26--50   DCACB   DBDAC   BDBAC  DACAB   ACCDB  

26.be tired“勞累的”；根據(jù)上文語境中提到的slowly,carrying a big suitcase等等，這種情況產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果應(yīng)該是tired。be hopeless“無希望的”；be lazy“懶的”；be anxious“焦急的”。答案為D。 
27.父親沒踩到樓梯，“沒踩到樓梯”英語用missed a step。miss表“錯過”。答案為C。 
28.由于父親沒踩到樓梯，摔了一跤，箱子滾下了樓梯。選項C干擾性比較大。dropping down(人)倒下，(風)突然停止。從情景上分析也可以排除選項C，當箱子落在樓梯上時，由于樓梯很窄，箱子會滾動下來。答案為A。 
29.從上文可知，父親沒踩到樓梯，箱子滾下了樓，父親就會發(fā)脾氣。所以還會有麻煩。雖然suffering(遭受)，difficulty(困難)，danger(危險)符合文段的氣氛，但都有過分夸張，不能作為正確答案。C項表示“麻煩”。答案為C。 
30.look out小心。由于父親沒踩到樓梯，箱子滾下了樓，摔傷了腿，父親的臉變紅了。主人公知道無論什么時候父親的臉變紅，就要多加小心。A表示“繼續(xù)”；C表示“堅持”；D表示“放棄”。答案為B。 
31. 從下文中的screaming(大叫大嚷)一詞可以判斷l(xiāng)ead(引導)、help(幫助)和encourage(鼓勵)都不是正確答案，而要選get。get后接動詞不定式，使某人做什么。答案為D。 
32.主人公不知道如何才能使父親在卸完車前不要沖著她大叫大嚷，在將與她一起上學的女孩子們面前使她出丑。答案為B。 
33.本題中的beginning有很大的干擾性，一些考生只注意到主人公在這篇短文中講述了開學前她去學校的情景，產(chǎn)生了誤解，而沒有注意到大學需要三四年的時間，這些女孩將和主人公一同度過。the rest of the year的意思是這一年剩余的時間。答案為D。
34.A項表示“吃力地”；因為父親摔傷了腿，所以走路十分吃力。B項表示“匆忙地”；C項表示“用堅定的步伐”；D表示“好奇”。答案為A。
35.由于上文中所述的事，主人公感到自己大學生活是一個壞的開頭。答案為C。 
36.通讀全文我們知道主人公是個大學新生，父親正在帶她到校報到，根據(jù)常識，他們首先應(yīng)該趕快“找到”房間，不會搜尋(Search)或訂(Book)房間；而Enter應(yīng)該產(chǎn)生在“找到”之后，所以Find是正確答案。答案為B。 
37.but then again是一個固定詞組，“另一方面”。由于主人公遇到了那么多的麻煩，她希望能盡快找到房間，把父親安頓下來，但她又產(chǎn)生了另外的擔心。A表示“事實上”；B表示“偶然地”；C表示“再一次”。答案為D。 
38.從下文中的提示the room wasn't empty at all可以看出，主人公擔心的是Room 316里面沒有椅子，是一個空房間。答案為B。 
39.Finally表示“最后；終于”。根據(jù)上文中所描述的一連串的事可以判斷，最后終于找到了房間，主人公把鑰匙插進了鎖里。注意區(qū)分短語的意思：Meanwhile同時；Sooner or later遲早；At the moment在那時。答案為A。 
40.因為主人公用鑰匙打開門，所以要把門推開。根據(jù)上下文，“knock，force，tried”與文章不符。答案為C。
41.still“還是，仍然”。這時，父親仍在抱怨著。even強調(diào)作用，“甚至”；A表示“轉(zhuǎn)折”；B項表示“僅僅”。答案為D。 
42.因為開頭就不順利，所以主人公所能期待的只能是更加糟糕的事。答案為A。 
43.但接下來發(fā)生的事出于主人公的意料之外，所以主人公感到吃驚。C項to one's surprise作狀語，表“吃驚”。答案為C。 
44.短文中雖然沒有直接說明Amy的身份，但從下文中的college一詞可判斷出主人公是去上大學，和她同屋的人自然是室友。答案為A。 
45.為了便于談話，Amy把音樂關(guān)小。A表示“打開”；B表示“關(guān)小”；C表示“播放”；D表示“欣賞”。答案為B。 
46.從下面的對話“And of course,you're Mr Faber.”可知，Amy看著父親。答案為A。 
47. 從上下文所講述的Amy的熱情態(tài)度，我們可以判斷出Amy與主人公父女談話的表情應(yīng)該是微笑著。答案為C。 
48.因為Amy的和藹可親，使父親的臉變得不那么紅了。less red表比較“不那么紅”，因為上文提到父親。答案為C。 
49.故事發(fā)展到此，整個氣氛已經(jīng)有了根本的轉(zhuǎn)變，而就是在這時主人公的想法也有了轉(zhuǎn)變。本題的四個選項有三個表示時間：soon，later,then，前兩個時間都表示將來，與故事的發(fā)展不符。then這時，there表示地點，而地點并沒有發(fā)生變化。答案為D。
50.由于Amy對主人公父女的態(tài)度，使主人公感到自己能與Amy成為好朋友。答案為B。

Listening to your heart
Do you ever wish you had a road map for living? If only someone could    1    show us a way to go, a direction to take, we wouldn’t feel so    2    of which path to pursue. We think that, with only a little    3    , we’ll surely end up in the right place.
4     on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City Airport must have felt a little more than    5     during the flight attendant’s greeting as their flight started. She     6     the passengers and stated that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned passengers   7    her, so the flight attendant, obviously not familiar with the area,     8     herself by saying that they would be     9      in “Tri-City” and Bay City.
Chuckles rippled along the aisle as she    10    tried again. This time she informed passengers that the destination would be Saginaw. Now    11    broke out.
At that point, an authoritative voice came over the intercom (對講機) and    12     her. “I’m your pilot, folks,” he said. “Don’t    13   — I know where we’re going.”
It’s nice when someone knows the     14    . And there is wisdom in seeking help when necessary.

In the end, nobody can point us to all the best   17    for life’s problems; nobody else can    18    us to the path that is just right for us. We find that way ourselves. We find the way by    19   . Listening to our hearts — for the direction we need is almost always there, deep within.

In 1879, a group of explorers made an incredible find. They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain. Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age, between ten and thirty thousand years ago. Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim, but over the years, it was proven correct. Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents.
Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France. A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy, Portugal, Russia, and other countries. Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years, and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia. These two regions of the world were, populated first by humans.
Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves, usually near the entrance. The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings. In some cases, the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light. Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned.
9.What was the response of general public to the discovery of cave art made by Stone Age people?
A. They believed it at first.
B. They did not believe it.
C. They thought it was beautiful.
D. They ignored it.
10.According to the passage, what can we conclude about animal fat?
A. It does not burn.
B. Stone Age artists used it to preserve their paintings.
C. It can be burned to produce light.
D. Stone Age artists mixed it with their food.
11.. Where do scientists expect to find more cave paintings?
A. In Central and South America.
B. In Spain and France.
C. In the places where there are caves with large openings.
D. In the regions of the world first populated by humans.
12.Where would this passage be most likely to appear?
A. In a textbook about early human history.
B. In a textbook about modern art.
C. In a dictionary.
D. In an encyclopedia entry about caves.

What did you dream about last night? Did your teeth fall out or did you fly? Maybe you died or someone you know did．Or maybe you were back in high school．These are among the most common dreams people have and they all mean something．Here are some of the most common dreams and their interpretations or symbolism．
Dreams of flying．Dreams of flying represent feelings of freedom that may result from an instance when you overcome a limitation or obstacle．Usually, children have more flying dreams than adults, because children are more open to their possibilities, and adults have often accepted limitations imposed by society．
Teeth falling out．Food in a dream is symbolic of knowledge because food nourishes the physical body and knowledge nourishes the soul．Teeth are a means to break down food or knowledge．When your teeth fall out in a dream, it could signify that you feel ill - equipped to break down the knowledge that you have available, that the way you break things down has changed．That change can be either positive or negative．
High school dreams．High school is a place of learning from the past, and dreaming of being unprepared for a high school test can indicate a struggle to access information you need to handle in your life．
Recurring dreams and nightmares．Recurring dreams are your subconscious （潛意識）mind's way of trying to get your attention．A recurring dream is a step down from a nightmare that is a louder, more insistent way your subconscious mind communicates．If you have a recurring dream, try to stop in the dream and identify what the dream is trying to tell you．That could mean asking someone who is chasing you what he or she wants．A woman dreamed for years that an old, haggard woman was chasing her around her home．When she finally stopped in the dream and asked the old woman what she represented, the old woman suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman and replied, "I represent your question of ' what if?’ "

E
It is the last day of the school year and I stand empty – handed with no gift to give you.
It isn't that I haven't tried to think of something meaningful and special … quite to the contrary. For months I have combed shops and department stores, and even searched the Internet only to realize that nothing could measure up to the feelings of a mother’s grateful heart and a teacher’s loving devotion.
How I wish a colorful bundle of fresh wildflowers could reflect the beauty of your way with children! Jewelry would surely be nice, but what can I afford that would not grow quickly out of style? You deserve respect for your determination and creativity, your devotion and talent.　　
At the moment the first school bell rang last August, I placed in you my trust, believing you would teach my child and reserve respect for me as a parent. I added to that my constant and devoted wish that you would be reasonable and fair to set limitations and rules while offering my child a chance to learn self-control. I sincerely hope that your classroom would be a safe shelter for my child to grow and learn, which is a perfect mixture of self-discipline and controlled instruction. I prayed for your health and your happiness, and your ability to be supplied with the tools necessary to complete your task as a teacher and educator. I offered you my time as often as I could, and my support for your cause. Occasionally, I even offered you a challenge when I spoke my mind, sometimes standing firm, sometimes giving up with a renewed assurance or a “ wait and see” attitude!
　　I wish with all my heart I could put a delicate ribbon on a wrapped package and give you a “ something” to express my appreciation and affection, but I have nothing to give you that would be better than the precious gift I have ever had to offer and which you already so pleasantly accepted months ago－the one you have held close to your heart, laughed with and probably cried with, cheered and scolded – my child!
And today, as my child returns to my side for the summer, the gift I humbly give to you is found deep within my heart...
