內容概要：本文描述的是Rex，一個頭腦簡單、力大無比的小狗。它愛好游泳，愛做一些無意義的事來表現(xiàn)它的力氣。
小題1:根據第2空后的in the water可以排除另三個選項。
小題2:因為十分喜歡游泳，所以有樂趣。
小題3:根據后面的to go in 這一帶to的不定或短語可以排除另三個選項。
小題4:did用以加強語氣，正好回應前一句。
小題5:remind sb of sth意為“使人想起”。
小題6:when引起定語從句修飾that night。
小題7:“沒人知道，他從多遠的地方弄來箱子”。此句用來補充說明somewhere，由have a race也可推測此處指距離。
小題8:could easily強調是狗本身的一種屬性，一種能力。因為Rex是條狗，善于奔跑，且有股蠻勁，所以這件事對它來說“可能”很容易。
小題9:主人最終還是將其扔掉了，可見其“無價值”。
小題10:從后面主人又將其扔掉來看，這只破箱子是被人“遺棄的”，沒用的箱子。
小題11:前后是因果關系。
小題12:下面一句有it sounded，所以用heard。
小題13:后面描述的動作與實際情況完全相反，故選as if，表達一種虛擬語氣。
小題14:tear the house down意為“拆房子”。
小題15:狗就在門廳，所以打開那兒的燈。
小題16:catch意為“被鉤住”，這是狗拖不動箱子的主要原因。
小題17:由于主人知道狗的蠻勁，故推測如果沒人幫它，它會撥弄箱子“一直到”天亮，即到主人起身發(fā)現(xiàn)這一切時。
小題18:箱子如果扔“近”一些，Rex又會撿回來的。
小題19:after all（畢竟），表達一種讓步的口吻。
小題20:從狗喜歡表現(xiàn)自己拖動重物的本領來分析，它對自己這方面的能力是引以為“自豪的”。

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight－conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long－awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self－worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小題1:The passage tries to highlight the importance of _________.
A．body sizeB．attitudes toward life
C．culture differenceD．different beauty standards
小題2:What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．All the problems.B．All the properties.
C．The whole world.D．The absolute truth.
小題3:What can be inferred about the author?
A．The author is a Samoan.
B．The author succeeded in losing weight.
C．The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
小題4:According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
A．They feel angry about the regained weight.
B．They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1981. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately he had a strong—willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to learn success” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words, came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words--as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn（典當） her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.  
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed john closely until he become very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind:” Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!” Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America--worth  $150 million.
小題1: What does the story mainly want to show us?
A．The key to success for blacks.
B．The mental support John’s mother gave him.
C．The importance of a good education.
D．How John H. Johnson became successful.
小題2:Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago?
A．Because his father died when John was very young.
B．Because life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown.
C．Because John needed more education badly.
D．Because there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown.
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．John’s mother didn’t believe in or depend on others.
B．John’s mother believed one would succeed without working hard.
C．John’s mother thought one could be whatever one wanted to be.
D．John’s mother thought no one could succeed without working hard.
小題4:What does the underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” in Passage 5 mean?

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同時的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group,  they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked  to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech ,
we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
56.While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they
A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
57. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to              .
A. experience the happy time again    B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot   D. remind her of something forgotten
58. What does the author want to tell us most?
A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk          B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C, Women Love to Talk                     D. Men Talk Differently from Women

I was bleeding now. My ears were red, my nose was broken, and the pain of failure was beginning. I had lost. It was over. The match was stopped. The world seemed to stand still for a moment as I looked at who had beaten me. “I’ve lost,” I said in m mind. “The last chance to win and I had lost.” It was the final round of wrestling. It was my last year at camp and I wanted to have an undefeated season. But now, I had lost in the tournament（錦標賽）.
My coach came over to help me up. He saw that my nose was broken and realized that the match had to be stopped. He helped me up and I got small applause from my teammates. People on the other team just stared. Coach walked me over to the locker room to work on my nose.
“I’ll stop the bleeding,” Coach Matt said. His voice was cold and empty. He had expected me to win—he knew I could have won—but now he saw it was over. I had lost.
“Hey, Steve. You did good, man, He, well, he just…” my friend Paul couldn’t find what to say.
“Forget it, man.” I said, my nose still bleeding.
“Don’t talk or it won’t stop bleeding. Just relax and breath through your mouth.” Coach Matt’s voice was still cold, but warming slowly. He was like a father to me. He had been there through all my years of wrestling, all my wins and losess , all my hopes and dreams—and now he was there, fixing my smashed nose.
“This must have happened during that last throw. You fell too much on your face. You should’ve turned and tried to escape. You gotta think more.” Coach Matt began, his voice now warm like an old friend trying to give good advice.
“I wanted this so badly.” I said.
“Maybe we can get another contest because of the nose. You can still go undefeated! You can still do it…” Paul continued.
No, I lost. Nothing was left for me to do this year. This was supposed to be the year—no loses.” I said, cutting him off before he finished.
“Steve, you did your best. Come on. Let’s go and get your medal,” Coach said. He looked at me right in the eyes. “You gave it your all. You deserved that trophy(戰(zhàn)利品), not the silver medal. You deserve it, but he is getting it. You really won and the whole team is proud.”
I walked up to get my medal, my head held high. I shook the hands of the judges and my opponent, took m medal and saw that, in the eyes of everyone, I had really won. No matter what trophy or medal my opponent took home, no matter what. He may have had my trophy, but he could never have my will.
