11、 21 . Once I had a beautiful watch. And this watch 22 perfect time. But one night it happened that I forgot to 23 it up. Next morning I went to a watchmaker as I wanted my perfect watch to 24 by the exact time. The watchmaker examined my watch and said: The regulator (校准器) is to be pushed up 25 your
12、 watch is four minutes 26 . I tried to stop him, tried to 27 him understand that my watch kept perfect time, but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.My beautiful watch began to gain time. It 28 faster and faster day by day. By the end of the second month it 29 all the clocks and watches

When at last I took my watch from him it began to 31 down. And I began to be late for trains, business appointmen
14、ts and even missed my dinners. Now I went to 32 watchmaker. While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he 33 it to pieces and said that he could finish this work 34 three or four days. I could do nothing but 35 . That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped. So I kept 36 my watch fro

As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chop
19、ping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no
20、 limit to the heights to which kites would fly today. My mother looked at the sitting room ,its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping, Agun she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls ! Lets take string to the boys and watch them On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if
21、she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back,
22、 watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth , just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty a
23、nd their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps its like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly. It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidyi
24、ng-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was , we didnt mention that day afterward. I flt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep“ the things that cannot be and
25、yet they are.” The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.” “I cant go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when Im through Ill be too tir
26、ed to walk that for.” My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“Its a wonderful day,” she offered，“Really warm , yet theres a fine breczc . Do you remember that day we flew kites?” I stopped in my dash between stove and sink . The looked door flew open and with it
27、a rush of memories. “Come on.”I told my little girl. “Youre right , its too good a day to miss.” Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talke
28、d freely , but now for a long time he had been silent . What was he thinking of what dark and horrible things? “Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips . “Do you remember - no, of course you wouldnt . It probably didnt make the impression on you as it did on me.” I hardly dared speak.“Remember what
29、?” “I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things werent too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?” （2011浙江卷）D41.Mrs. Patrick was laughing guilnly because she thought .A. she was too old to fly kites B. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her h
30、ousework then D. her girls werent supposed to play the boys game42. By“we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all .A. felt confused B. went wild with joy C. looked on D. forgot their fights 43. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than
31、 the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D. All the others must have forgotten that day.44. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother. B. She was remi

She thought it was a great day to play outside.45.The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that _ .A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life
33、C. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the warB I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the natur
34、e of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball
35、 game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach u
36、s that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism,
37、 drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if hes honest, and 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 and excitement. Ma
38、rriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant children are lucky to g
39、et a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating（解放性的）realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hou
40、rs to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or 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 rich and glamorous people we were so sure are
41、 happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 【2011浙江省第二次五校联考】46.

47、终成为废物”的全过程。选项设计上侧重训练学生的英语语感和词义辨析能力。36C for certain“无疑地，确定地”，是一个固定用法，相当于without doubt, for sure；for certainty应为for a certainty才对。37A keep time“走时准确”，是习惯用法，tell time“报时”，observe time “守时”，strike表“鸣钟”时，常用结构为“strike the hours（每小时报时一次）; strike 12这种刚敲12点”。38B wind sth. up“上（钟或表）的弦；上发条”。39D set a clock / w
48、atch “对钟；对表；将闹钟等定时”。40A as用来引导表原因的状语从句。41D 从上文中的be pushed up得知，手表的时间慢了四分钟，而不是快了四分钟。42C make sBdo sth. / get sBto do sth. “使某人做某事”，此题之后接了省to的不定式understand，所以用make。43A（指钟表）快(慢)于正确的时间，常用gain或lose。如：This watch neither gains nor loses.这表不快也不慢。go只表示“钟表在走（时）”。44B leave sth. far behind“使某事处于落后状态”，A、C、D都是不及物
49、动词。45C 表转折，意为：我原指望他迅速将表校对，可是他要我一周后才来拿。However是副词，常用逗号隔开。46C slow作动词，slow down“减慢速度”。47A 通过上下文得知作者已经去过了两个修表匠，现在要去第三个修表匠那儿。48B took sth. to pieces “拆开，拆散”，在这里指把表拆成零碎。broke“打碎”； tore“撕毁”； cut“切碎”。49D 介词in表示“从当时算起再过多长时间”。50B but前有实义动词do时，but后要接省to的动词不定式。51A keep(on)doing sth., 意为“不停地做”。taking “拿去”；bring
50、ing“拿来”； fetching“去拿来”； carrying“提起，拿起”，无方向性。52B tell the time 指“能够看懂钟表上的时间；看钟表等而说出时间”。不要受中文影响而错用understand。53D get 是连系动词，其后要接形容词作表语，可排除A、C，再从逻辑上分析，可排除B项。54C cost表示“某物花费多少钱”，有“等价交换”之意。55A another表示“另一个（与之不同的一个）”；the other表“两个当中的另一个”；one表“数量（一个）”；one more“买了一个不够，还要再买一个”。Part3: Reading (20)41-45 CBDBA 46-50 CBCCD
