He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts，checking to see that everything was
52、 OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk.It was a long walk back to the cara long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.

60、向感。3C考查代词的用法。此处none是代词，指没有练习被剩下。nothing “没有什么”。4D考查“否定比较级”表示最高级的用法。此处意为：没有比这更简单的了。5A考查宾语从句。此处where在宾语从句中作表语。 句意：为了快速邮寄，请告诉公司你的地址，他们就会把货物寄给你。6C考查祈使句。句意：振作起来！接受现实，你就会每天过得愉快。7A考查定语从句。that is是插入语，意思是“也就是”；when引导的是非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的时间11：30。8D考查动词的时态及强调。句意：“对不起，我不应该对你太粗鲁。”“你的确说了对我不好的话，但是没关系。”9C考查特殊句式。这里的谓语动词是
61、单数形式，所以排除A、B两项；从语意看：除非(unless)有政策上的改变，否则这些事情中一件事情都不会改变。故选择C项。10A考查动词辨析。watch关注；notice注意；sense感觉；attend参加。句意：你应该做的事就是看着牛奶直到它开了然后关掉煤气。11C考查倒装。此处not until置于句首，主句部分倒装。12D考查非谓语动词。解题关键：risk后接动名词。句意：他为面试做好了准备，因为他不能冒险失去这次好机会。13C考查情态动词。句意：“一个医疗队5小时前就被派往日本了。”“现在他们一定到了。去那里的航班通常只用4个小时左右。”根据句意选C。14C考查名词辨析。此处sign
62、al意为“信号”。句意：交通信号灯变绿后再穿过大街。15B考查交际用语。句意：“下一步你打算做什么？还有半个小时篮球比赛才开始。”“由你决定。你想做什么我都同意。”第二节16C许多孩子和养父母在一起要比和亲生父母在一起健康、开心得多，这并不是一个秘密。对于那些在家里受亲生父母虐待的孩子而言尤其如此(true)，因为(because)法律盲目认为生理上的父母会更好。本句为对比句。可参照下文Its also true of children because of17D表原因，解析见上一题。18C同样，对于那些在收养家庭中多年遭受(suffer)痛苦的孩子们来说也是如此，因为他们的养父母不能或者不愿
63、意照顾他们，但是又拒绝(refuse)放弃监护权。19B解析见上一题。20C14岁的Kimberly不适合(fits)上述两种情况。21BKimberly的判例对属于上述两种情况的孩子而言最终(eventually)是有所帮助的。22BKimberly向来是她的养父与从未和她一起生活过的亲生父母争夺监护权的对象或目标(object)。23A法官裁决(ruled)Kimberly可以继续与其唯一熟悉的养父生活在一起，驳回亲生父母对Kimberly监护权的要求(claim)。24D解析见上一题。25A根据本句后的baby可判断此处为birth。句意：Kimberly出生后不久就被抱错。26D既然是
64、mistakenly switched“被交叉抱错”，那么与之回家的自然是wrong parents，当然不会是亲生父母。27D另外一个小孩在1988年生病夭折。医学检查表明(showed)这个小孩不是Kimberly亲生父母的孩子，Kimberly才是。Kimberly亲生父母由此与其养父展开了一场争夺监护权的斗争(battle)。28A解析见上一题。29C最后双方达成协议(agreed)，养父保留监护权，亲生父母有探望(visiting)权。30C解析见上一题。31.A但养父若认为亲生父母的探望使Kimberly受到了伤害(harmed)，则该权利终止。32B把Kimberly留给(lea
65、ve)她的养父引起了激烈的讨论。33C法官明确地说，Kimberly也有权为了(on)自己的利益提起诉讼(比如，假设在亲生父母的经济状况远好于养父的情况下)。on ones behalf 为的利益，代表。34AKimberly并不仅仅(more than)是其亲生父母的私有财产。more than不仅仅；no more than仅仅；not more than不超过，至多，不比更；less than小于，少于，不超过，不到，决不，毫不。35C血缘关系并不意味着亲生父母可以剥夺孩子全部的权利(rights)。二、A36D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“toy bears were namedTed
66、dy after the presidents nickname.”可知选 D。37B细节理解题。根据第三、四段关键信息可知，两者的差别在于所使用的材料不同，一个是steel，一个是wood。38B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第二句可知选B。39C主旨大意题。本文主要描述了the early 1900s时期玩具的发展情况。所以正确答案为C。B40C推理判断题。文章提出许多媒体上的广告都含有虚假成分，夸大其词，而事实上广告中的产品往往不具有其所宣称的效果。文章第四段提到这些产品的效果是值得怀疑的，不可靠的，甚至是危险的。objective“客观的，不带偏见的”；costly“昂贵的”；unreli
67、able“不可靠的”；illegal“不合法的，违法的”。41D细节理解题。第四段第一句话说“通常这些产品对推销者来说只是挣钱的工具”，显然D项“推销者通常只关注利润”符合题意。42A细节理解题。从第五段第二句话可知A项正确，如果是药物的生产，则必须向FDA证明其安全性和有效性。43B细节理解题。倒数第二段提到的这个案例与上一段最后一句话紧密相连，是对其进行举例说明；第三句话说FDA对the Relaxacisor的经销采取了法律措施，责令其停止销售，所以答案为B。C44C细节理解题。通读全文可知，Christopher Thomas对于自己的疾病采取了积极的态度，所以C项正确。45A细节理解
68、题。根据第二段“，a free online community for diabetics and their loved onesa place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources”可知A项正确。46B细节理解题。第三段Father and son visit the online childrens forums(论坛) together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over，”
69、 says Swencki, one of the sites volunteers. “They know what hes going through, so he doesnt feel alone.” 可知B项正确。47C推理判断题。根据文章内容可知Thomas在用自己的方式帮助糖尿病人，所以C项正确。D48C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.可以得出答案为C。49A细节理解题。根据第四段可知，声音的高低取决于凹槽的间距，因此正确答案为A。50C词义猜测题。
70、根据倒数第二段，并联系上下文可以推断，optimal在这里意为“最佳的，最理想的”，因此正确答案为C。51B主旨大意题。文章讲述的是日本发明音乐路面的事情，故选B。E52D细节理解题。根据这个男孩的叙述可知，他哥哥从轮椅上跌下来，他想找人帮忙把他扶起来。53A细节理解题。略读文章，寻找关键信息可确定事件发生的顺序。54C推理判断题。根据约翰的表现：开始生气，但在知道真相后还帮助别人，而且这件事情发生后还以此提醒自己要留意生活，体谅别人。这说明他是个心地善良的人。55B推理判断题。moved beyond words 意为 “感动得无以言表”，由此可推断他是想进一步帮助这兄弟俩。三、第一节56去
71、掉in57moremuch58likeslike59techniquetechniques60wasam 61wherethat/which62rest前加the63improved(to)improve64I前加and或but两个句子间应有连词连接，用and只表示并列，而用but则照应该句中的best一词，表示尽管是和最好的球队比赛，但是只要我们尽力，也会成功的。 65wontdont第二节One possible version：Making Friends Selectively or Extensively?When it comes to whether we should make
72、 friends selectively or extensively, there is no complete agreement among people. Some people take it for granted that we should make friends selectively and carefully. However, others maintain that making friends extensively should be regarded as the better choice. Those people who hold the first o
73、pinion believe that its sensible to look for friends who have similar ideal and outlook on life as well as temperament. In addition, they neednt waste time dealing with the people they dont like and prevent themselves from being affected by those people. However, still others think differently. In t
74、heir opinions, the more friends we make, the easier our life will be. Besides, they argue that we can absorb and learn from the advantages of different people.Weighing up these two arguments, I prefer the former one. For one thing, not all friends are suitable for us and easy to get along with. For another, friends with similar goals will help us sweep off difficulties. Considering these, we may reasonably conclude that making friends selectively can bring us true friends.
