He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the mans hat in his mouth.German shepherds arent the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing
20、Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things.

24、o it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained (抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the gene
25、ration gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional s
26、ocieties, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home a
27、t an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things
28、that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another
29、cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilitie
30、s. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature (特点) of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes. 40. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _. A. the generation gap sudde
31、nly appearedB. the generation gap is a feature of modern social lifeC. people can reduce the generation gapD. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap41.

Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Par
33、ents should be strict with their children. B. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom. C. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation. D. The generation gap does not exist in American society. CWhen I was growing up, I was embarrassed (困惑) to be seen
34、 with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚) and very short , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.It was difficult to walk together-his steps slow, mine impatien
35、t-and because of that, we didnt say much and we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”Our usual walk was to or from the subway (地铁), which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, an
36、d would make it to the office even if others could not .It was a matter of pride for him.When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk , even with help. At such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N. Y., on a childs sleigh to the subway entran
37、ce .Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.When I think of it
38、 now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it - without bitterness or complaint.He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What
39、 he looked for in others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard (标准) by which to judge people, even though I still dont know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I dont have one myself.He has
40、 been away many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of anothe

One day, following some tests , Betty gave the doctor a big hug（拥抱）.A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour（肿瘤）, but also th
44、e entire lower left side of Bettys gum（牙龈）and jawbone. Because Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.Within three months, Bettys tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate （ = thin; not strong）face. So
45、on she couldnt even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Betty s weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15. Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.The only other possibility was thorough radiation therapy （放射疗法）. Night after night, Bettys father gave her injection, but
46、the tumour remained as big as ever. Then one evening.Morgan noticed that the tumour had begun to change. It was actually becoming smaller! For two months her tumour appeared to be going away for ever. In the coming months, Bettys tumour continued to appear. She was able to eat solid food once again.

49、y he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not
50、 its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow
51、up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car o
52、r those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.51According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ .A. he

59、决一个长期困扰你的问题。 你的情况：1、学习成绩好。2、爱母亲。3、有点害怕母亲。你母亲的情况：1、大学教授，工作勤奋。很少有时间和你说话。2、对你很严，易发脾气。你的问题：1、很少交流。2、希望互相了解。3、不知如何沟通。注意：词数100左右；参考词汇：发脾气lose ones temperDear Ralph,Im a middle school student. _ _. I do hope well be closer. What can I do?Yours sincerely,Li Xiaohua 答案祥解一、1. 选A。 现在分词作结果状语，表达意料之中或必然的结果。2. 选D。
60、 本题考查了省略。在时间状语从句、条件状语从句和让步状语从句中，如果主句的主语与从句的主语一致，谓语含有动词be，经常采用省略的形式，如He never speaks to anyone unless (he is ) spoken to. A, B句子结构错误；C时态错误。3. 选 B。 本句的意思是“两部电话都坏了，我们要找人修一下。”第一空neither作定语，修饰telephone；第二空运用了get sth. done的搭配。4. 选C。 该题中 should have done表示“过去本应该做某事，而实际上没有做”。 该题的意思是“我告诉Sally怎么到这儿， 可是我本应该为她写
61、出这里的详细地址。”表达了一种懊悔的心情。5. 选A。 situation位置；形势；处境；expression表情；词语；表达；condition条件；状况；translation翻译；调换。6. 选B。 make all ones efforts为固定搭配，意思是“某人尽全力”。7. 选B。 fall in love不可以跟表示一段时间的短语。因此用be in love这一结构。3.C 从前句Youre lucky enough推知说话人羡慕“你”的工作。在这里envy后跟了双宾语。 其它答案不合题意。8. 选A。 treat在这里是“治疗”的意思，normal意思是“正常的”，为形容词，
62、因此enough要放在它的后面。9. 选A。 本题考查冠词的用法。题意是“据说一部分动物不能生活在海平面以下一千五百米处的水里”。part of (一部分)与sea level (海平面；海拔)习惯上不加冠词，故答案为A。10. 选D。 本题考查mean后接非谓语动词的区别。mean doing译为“意味着，意思是”；mean to do译为 “想要做打算做”。本句意为“他所做的并不意味着伤害你，他是想要帮助你”。11. 选C。 pay attention to 的意思是“注意；留心”。12. 选B。 get down to意思是“着手某事”，其中to是介词，后跟名词或动名词。13. 选D。
63、A有较大干扰性，would love to do意思是“打算做某事”，表达想法；would love to have done表示“本打算做某事，然而没有做成”。14. 选D。本题考查动词词意辨析。根据句意，说话人认为孩子们应该学会与人分享。15. 选A。 a friend of Marys mothers玛丽妈妈的一位朋友，在of后要加名词所有格，应注意英语这种双重所属的用法。二、16. 选D。 从后面的and helped the boy pick up these articles我们可以看出Mark跪下来(knelt down)把书拣起来。17. 选B。 they were going
64、 the same way是 he helped to carry some of them for him的原因之一，因此用since。18. 选A。 在他们一起走的时候，Mark得知这个孩子叫Bill，。 B有一定的干扰性，realize的意思是“领会；认识”，与后面的name不搭配。19. 选B。 与后面的that he was having a lot of 40 (trouble)with his other subjects对比，他喜欢computer games, baseball and history。20. 选C。 四个答案中只有trouble能说明他其他课程的情况。21.
65、 选A。 也许其他课程学得不好以及与女朋友刚刚分手是他不想上学的原因。break up with sb.意思是“与某人断交”。22. 选C。 从空后的for a Coke and to watch some television我们知道Bill把Mark邀请到了自己的家。23. 选D。 从空后的with a few laughs and some shared small talk得知他们过得很愉快。24. 选A。 之后他们继续(continued)见了几次。25. 选A。 从and then both ended up from the same high school我们知道他们就要毕业了
66、，在毕业前，。26. 选C。 could在这里表示“请求”。27. 选B。 Bill向Mark提起了几年前的那一天。从空后的of the day years ago得出此答案。remind sb. of sth. 意思是“向某人提起某事”。28. 选A。 “这些年来，你是否曾想知道那天我为什么要抱这么多的东西回家吗？”ever在这里的意思是“曾经”。29. 选C。 从空后的because I didnt want to leave a mess我们知道，Bill清理(cleared out)自己的抽屉。30. 选D。 “我不想把脏乱留给别人。”leave sth. for sb.意思是“把某物
67、留给某人，并成为他的所有”。C有一定干扰性，leave sth. with sb.意思是“把某物留给某人，让其为自己或别人保管”。31. 选C。 因为I had panned to run away，因此“我”回家打点行李。32. 选A。 从前面的The afternoon passed 43 (pleasantly)with a few laughs and some shared small talk得此答案。33. 选B。 联系全句，I had done that是条件。34. 选D。 lost a new friend与后面的and missed all the fun we woul
68、d have together顺接。35. 选D。 You changed my life是You Did More Than Carry My Books的内涵。三、36. 选B。 细节题。从第一段最后一句“One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him”得此答案。37. 选C。 推理题。从文中“He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the mans hat in his mouth”我们可以推知
69、，狗给他拿来帽子，是想催他走。38. 选。 句意理解题。在这里stand和put up with都是“忍受；忍耐”的意思。39. 选B。 A, C均具有较大干扰性。从讲的故事看，狗仅仅是与人为伴，并不能说对人类有巨大帮助；C的题目太大而广，不能说明本文的中心。40. 选B。 这是全文的主旨。41. 选D。 词义理解题。联系上下文，我们可以得知，作者认为这种“代沟”已经存在了很长时间。42. 选D。 细节题。从“they discover that they have very little in common with each other”得此答案。43. 选C。 推理题。联系全文，我们知道
70、作者认为，出现“代沟”是因为父母的思想跟不上时代。44. 选C。细节题。从and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention 我们得知，在我们一起外出时，“我”会给他一些帮助，但是见到人盯着看时，“我”又极不好意思。45. 选D。判断题。从He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy
71、 of he more fortunate or able我们得知，my father 从不因自己的残疾而自暴自弃，因此D为最佳答案。46. 选D。词义意理解题。本词所在句是照应前文的一句。在前文When I was growing, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father中的embarrassed就是指，因为“我”父亲的残疾，“我”不愿意与他一起出现在众人面前。因此本词意为“不乐意”。47. 选A。细节题。从第四段At such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of
72、 Brooklyn, N. Y., on a childs sleigh to the subway entrance得此答案。48. 选C。短文第二段内容49. 选D。最后一段内容50. 选B。最后一段倒数第三句51. 选A。提示：本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一严肃话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误解。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1行“Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is h
73、onest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment”（害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。52. 选C。提示：依据文章第4段第1句“带有婴儿的父母要是能睡上一整晚觉或度一个三天的假日，那真是太幸运了。在我认识的人中，不会有人用fun（好玩）来描述他们抚养孩子的感受”，似乎会认为作者的意图是B项（出力不讨好，毫无回报的事）或D项（不可避免的痛苦来源）。实际上，作者真实想法应在第2句中体现：但是决定不生孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣、那种欣喜。这种乐趣、欣喜实际就是一
74、种回报。所以选项C正确。53. 选B提示：依据文章最后一句“And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.”说明：我们现在的这种理解就可免除嫉妒，那么反过来，嫉妒产生于我们的理解不当，即misunderstanding，故选项B正确。54. 选D。提示：依据文章第1段第1句“The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pa
75、in free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness”（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句“all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all”（生活中总是有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等
76、同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下都忍受痛苦。55. 选A。提示：作者的意图出现在第1段最后一句：“But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain”（事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A符合题意。四、56. of改为from。自己“来自于”小镇。57. quietly改为quiet。与shy并列。58. well前加as。asas原级比较。59.
77、 to改为a。Iaugh at sb.，嘲笑某人。60. 正确。61. that改为why。我知道他们不喜欢同我谈话，但我不知道为什么。62. talked改为talk。整个短文谈的是现在的事，所以要用一般现在时。63. stranger改为strangers。64. since改为but。表转折，而不是原因或时间状语。65. 去掉about。Tell 可接双宾语。五、One possible versionDear Ralph,Im a middle school student. Im writing to tell you my problem which has troubled me
78、 for a long time. It is the relationship between my mother and me. My mother is a university professor, who works very hard. She is strict with me, but she is so busy with her work that she finds little time to talk to me. I love her and I do well in my studies, but I still feel a little afraid of h
79、er because she loses her temper easily. I dont know how to communicate with her. Maybe its because we have seldom sat down and exchanged our feelings and thoughts . I hope we can know more about each other and understood each other better. I do hope well be closer. What can I do?Looking forward to your reply.Best wishes!Yours sincerely,Li Xiaohua
