He went to a famous jewelry shop and asked to be shown some gold necklaces. After examining several
12、 minutes, he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious diamond, and asked if he could pay by cheque (支票). The assistant said that was quite in order, but the moment my friend signed his name, he was invited into the managers office. The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone wit
13、h exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a diamond necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wan
14、ted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too, but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was responsible(负责任)for a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the t
15、hief in a number of stores. The note read, “I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer.”Luckily, my friends handwriting was quite unlike the thiefs. He was not only allowed to go without further delay,but also to take the diamond necklace with him.21Why was th
16、e man invited into the managers office?A. Because his handwriting was like a thiefs.B. Because a thief had used the same name as his.C. Because he didnt sign his name correctly.D. Because his cheque was different from others.22After the man heard what the manager said, he _.A. got very angry and lef
17、t at onceB. went out to buy a diamond necklace somewhere elseC. insisted on staying until the police cameD. thought that he had nothing to do with the stealing23The police were polite, too, because _.A. they didnt think the man was a thiefB. the man was old and very richC. they were not sure whether
18、 the man was the thief they wantedD. they doubted that the man was responsible for a number of recent robberies24Which of the following is suggested (暗示) in the passage?A. Though the man had some trouble, he got the necklace without paying cash.B. Nobody saw the man take the necklace with him.C. The
19、 manager never thought an old man would be a thief.D. The thief always stole things in famous jewelry shops.BSome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little
20、blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving(保存) the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot i
21、n a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night t
22、here, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen. At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few sec
23、onds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary. Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotatio
24、ns that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful. Im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the
25、camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future. I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain
26、inside me. I dont live to make memories I just live, and the memories form themselves. 25Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of _.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history26What caused a cha

Her concerns for future generations. 27What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feeli
28、ngs. C. Detailed accounts of daily activities. D. Descriptions of unforgettable events. 28The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is _.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itCCaf HubNext to the Castle lies

People who are thinking about adopting a dog a
36、s a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two p
37、ets will get along swimmingly. Two thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of th
38、e homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. T
39、hey are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”. Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that
40、the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each
41、 other.The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. 32The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph
42、 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. early B. sweetly C. quickly D. surprisingly33Some cats and dogs may fight when _.A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they understand each others signals in a wrong wayD. they are introduced at an early age34What is found surprising about

61、据第一段第五句“The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless cheque not long ago.”从下文可知签相同名字的是一个贼。故B项正确。22. D根据第一段第六句“My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a diamond necklace somewhere else.”可知他认为自己是无辜的,他认为他
62、和偷盗无关,故D项正确。从后文可知作者的朋友在澄清事实之后才离开珠宝店,并买下了那个项链,所以A、B两选项不对。不是那人坚持留下,而是珠宝店的经理不让他走,故排除C项。23. C警察只是怀疑我的朋友可能是犯罪嫌疑人,但需要进一步鉴定。故选C项。24. A经过笔迹鉴定,证明我的朋友是无辜的,理所当然他可以用支票付款,不用付现金。B25.

68、建立了深厚的友谊。通过这些经历,作者感觉自己比以前好多了,她更喜欢现在的自己。41B联系第一句中的I have really changed以及下文的例子可知作者是先为别人考虑,再考虑自己。即在为自己考虑前,先考虑的是别人,故用before。42C联系第一句中的I have really changed以及下文作者由独自一人到交了朋友,由以自我为中心,到变成了一个帮助别人的人,可知作者发生了很大变化,因此可知作者很高兴自己变成了一个和以前不一样的人,故用different。famous“著名的;出名的”,simple“简单的;朴素的”,skilled“有技能的;熟练的”,均与语境不符。43D联
69、系第一句中的changed以及下文所描述的作者发生的变化,可知作者的“变化”开始于上大学时。44C因为作者是在大学里,她想得到的当然是学位。balance“平衡”,homework“家庭作业”,interest“兴趣,爱好”,均与语境不符。45A联系19空后的be left alone,以及21空后的“除了我似乎别人都交了朋友,都过得很愉快”,可知作者独自一人,几乎不跟别人“说话”。46B联系此空后的“除了我,似乎别人都交了朋友,都过得很愉快”,可知作者确实很孤独,没有人与她交往。careful“仔细的;细心的”,curious“好奇的”,guilty“内疚的;有罪的”,均与语境不符。47C联
70、系空后的“我”开始问周围的人过得怎么样,问他们是否需要帮助,可知作者在试着与别人交流。experiment在本句中意为“尝试”。argument“争论;辩论”,game“游戏”,defence“防御;护卫”,均与语境不符。48B联系空格前的trouble以及空格后的help,可知作者问别人是否有麻烦,然后“主动提供”帮助。49D联系以前作者不与人说话,宁愿独处,现在开始主动与别人交流并想提供帮助,可知这样做对作者来说已经是迈出了一大“步”。50C联系空格前的several new friends可知作者的两个最好的朋友就在“several new friends”之中,空格处为避免重复,用代词
71、them“他们”代替“several new friends”。51A联系上文的描述,作者主动与人沟通,主动帮助别人,这些显示的都是作者对人、对事的“态度”发生了变化,故此空用attitude。52A联系下文的she thought I was her daughter可知老太太把作者当成了自己的女儿,可推测作者与这位老太太成了“朋友”。partner“伙伴”,guide“向导”,guest“客人”,均与语境不符。53B联系空格后老太太认为作者是自己的女儿,可知见到作者就很“高兴”。54C联系空格后的“I took her place”可知老太太的亲生女儿从没来“看过”她,visit“拜访”符
72、合语境。55D联系空格后作者的感受“使别人感觉好也就是使自己感觉好”可知这是作者通过这次经历“明白”的一个道理,故用see。本题考查的是熟词新义,see在句中意为“明白”。其他三个选项,explain“解释”,guess“猜”,declare“宣布”,均与语境不符。56B老太太去世,作者肯定会感到很伤心,故选heartbroken“心碎的”。其他三个选项,homeless“无家可归的”,badtempered“坏脾气的”,hopeless“无望的”,均与语境不符。57C联系作者在上文的描述,自己交了朋友,也帮助别人,可知作者感觉自己比以前“好”多了。58A作者希望自己不会“忘记”这些经历。其余
73、选项,face“面对”,improve“提高”,analyze“对进行分析”,均与语境不符。59D这些经历“教会”了作者要更多地关心别人,而不是自己。force“强迫”,prefer“偏爱”,order“命令”,均与语境不符。60B联系第一段中的“I am happy that I am becoming a different person.”可知作者很“喜欢”现在的自己。miss“思念;错过”,wonder“困惑;想知道”,expect“期待;预计”,均与语境不符。短文改错(10分)1. toothteeth2. for while中加a3. werewas4. asksasked5. q
