38、d.A.time BmedicineCmoney Dfood解析：选C。由下文小女孩拿出自己的钱到药店去买“奇迹”可推知她的父母没有钱了。A.tearful BhopefulChelpful Dregretful解析：选A。看到这样的情形，母亲伤心，选“眼含泪水的”符合语境。tearful“眼含泪水的”；hopeful“有希望的”；helpful“有帮助的”；regretful“后悔的”。A.emptied BpulledCput Dpoured选D。从储钱罐里把零花钱pour(倾倒)出来更符合语境。empty虽可作动词“倒空”，但它的宾语应是储钱罐，而不是all the change；其他两
39、项不合题意。A.followed BmadeCfelt Dfound解析：选B。make ones way to的意思是“向走去”。follow“跟随”，不合句意；feel ones way“摸索着前进”；find ones way“找到路”。A.with BaboutCfor Dfrom解析：选C。此处表示“目的”或“对象”，用介词for。A.drink BdoctorCtablet Dmiracle解析：选D。上下文都有提示，小女孩用自己的零花钱去买miracle(奇迹)，并不是买饮料、找医生或药片。A.bad BsmallCextra Dnew解析：选A。弟弟病重，因此是头里长了“坏的”
40、东西。而extra“额外的”，额外的东西有可能是好的也可能是坏的。small和new均属中性词。只有bad可表示弟弟生病。A.display BofferCsell Dstore解析：选C。我们这里没有奇迹可“卖”。display“展示”；offer“提供”，药店是卖药的，不是免费提供药；store“储存”。A.calmly BsadlyCstrangely Dcoldly解析：选B。药剂师已经了解了小女孩弟弟的情况，但不能帮助小女孩，选B项更符合文章的语境。calmly“冷静地”；sadly“难过地”；strangely“奇怪地”；coldly“冷冷地”。A.welldressed Bkin
41、dheartedCwellbehaved Dgoodlooking解析：选A。该空不能立即作出判断，要看到倒数第二段的That welldressed man才能知道答案是welldressed。A.have BneedCmake Dlike解析：选B。根据语境应该是问小女孩的弟弟“需要”什么样的奇迹。A.companion BsurgeonCprotection Doperation解析：选D。由倒数第二段第二句中的the operation可知，小女孩的弟弟需要动手术。A.savings BwishesCideas Dworries解析：选A。由下一句“How much do you ha
42、ve？”可知，小女孩带来的应是她存起来的钱。A.because BsoCthough Dbut解析：选D。根据语境知前后应该是转折关系。A.same BexactCproper Dreasonable解析：选B。根据后文可知：这位顾客决定帮助小女孩的弟弟，所以说1美元11美分“正好”是买一个奇迹的钱；另外前面有coincidence，这里用“正好”符合说话语境。A.Bring BSendCTake DDrive解析：选C。根据文章意思应该是“带我去你住的地方，我想见见你的弟弟和父母”。“带某人去某处”应用动词take；bring表示带某人来某处；send表示派某人去某处；drive表示开车送某
43、人去某处。A.help BencourageCpersuade Dmeet解析：选D。help“帮助”，由于这位医生是在对小女孩说话，而小女孩给他1美元11美分购买“奇迹”，因此医生不能说帮她的父母，而应用meet，表示见一见她的父母。A.surprisingly BsecretlyCsuccessfully Dseparately解析：选C。根据下文的happy看出这个手术应该是成功的。只有C项符合语境。surprising“令人惊讶地”；secretly“秘密地”；separately“分开地”。这三项均不合文意。A.happy BwellCstrong Dfat解析：选B。小女孩的弟弟不
44、久就恢复健康了。well“痊愈的；健康的”。其他三个选项与身体好坏没有关系，应排除。A.meant BcoveredCmeasured Dcost解析：选D。mean“意味着”；cover“包括”；measure“测量”；cost“值”。三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AToo much TVwatching can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree，new s

47、 TV habits of 26yearolds between ages 5 and 15.Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood，compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study，children with TVs in th

52、析：选C。细节理解题。倒数第二段提到卧室里有电视机没有电脑的孩子考试得分最低，而卧室里有电脑没有电视机的孩子得分最高；最后一段的研究结论是：这项研究虽然不能证明是卧室内的电视导致了孩子考试分数低，但为孩子卧室内不应该放有电视机增加了证据。据此判断不能在孩子卧室放有电视机。故选C项。What would be the best title for this text?AComputers or TelevisionBEffects of Television on ChildrenCStudies on TV and College EducationDTelevision and Childr
53、ens Learning Habits解析：选B。主旨大意题。第一段指出，几项有关电视对孩子的影响研究结果表明：看电视过多会对孩子的学习能力造成危害，甚至会减少孩子升入大学的机会。随后几段分别对几项具体调查研究进行陈述，并针对观看电视与考试成绩、教育水平之间的因果关系分别得出几个不同的结论。概括全文可知本文主要讲述的是电视对孩子的影响。故选B项。BBEIJINGSeven prestigious universities in China announced Sunday that they would begin using the same independent exambesides
