三、阅读理解(每小题3分, 共15分)

In 1997 , 12­year­old American girl Caitlin and 14­year­old Zimbabwean(津巴布韦人) Martin became pen­friends through their schools. They didn't know at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.

It all began as a school task. Everyone in Caitlin's class was asked to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids chose countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic(异国风情的) and cool.

Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe's worst slums(贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.

When Caitlin's first letters reached Martin, they were simple and general. The two kids wrote about their favourite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin slowly revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash(废纸), Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin's family and helped him go to school.

It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin's arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin's parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.

Today, Caitlin and Martin aren't only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to encourage(鼓励)readers to look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might greatly change their lives.

 a. They shared their story in a book.

 b. Caitlin's first letters reached Martin.

 d. Martin got his MBA from Duke University.

 A. a－b－c－d　　　　　 B. a－b－d－c

 C. c－b－d－a　　　　　 D. c－d－b－a

28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

 A. Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic and cool.

 B. Martin lived a very hard life in one of the worst slums in Zimbabwe.

 C. Martin's family could get more food with Caitlin's money in the letters.

 D. They had kept writing to each other for five years before Martin arrived in the

US.

29. Which would be the best title for this passage?

 A. The Two Pen friends

参考答案

一、1. C 　点拨: harder更难; slower更慢; easier更容易; earlier更早。根据语境, 高速路建好, 开车回家就会更容易了, 可知选C。

2. C 　点拨: 交际法。What's sb. like？询问某人怎么样？用表示性格特征的词语回答。故选A。

3. A 　点拨: one of＋the ＋ 形容词最高级＋ 名词复数。故选A。

4. A 　点拨: cool凉爽的; hot炎热的; cold寒冷的。句意为“当秋天来的时候, 天气变得越来越凉爽”。故选A。

5. C 　点拨: 考查代词。it指上文的同一单数或不可数的事物; one指上文中众多事物中的一个; that指上文中同一性质, 但不同的单数或不可数事物; those指上文中同一性质, 但不同的复数事物。这里代指的是我家乡的天气, 与上文上海的天气属于同一性质, 但不同的不可数事物, 用that来代指, 故选C。

6. B 　点拨: as. . . as意为“和……一样”, 中间加形容词或副词的原形; so. . . as与as. . . as同义, 但只可用于否定句中。由此选择B。

7. A

8. A 　点拨: What does sth. look like？是问外貌, 答句中只有It's small and white. 表示外貌, 故选A。

9. B 　点拨: 不定代词的修饰词必须后置, 所以先排除选项C和D。根据“茶里肯定有________, 我喜欢这种加糖的茶”, 而nothing表示没有, 所以用something sweet, 表示甜的东西, 故选B。

10. A 　点拨: sth. worries sb. 某事使某人担心, 此时worry是及物动词; sb. worries about sth. , 此时worry是不及物动词, 或者sb. be worried about sth. 。根据题目可知选A。

二、11. B 　点拨: 由下文中“After class, she told her friend, Mary, about the money. . . ”, 可以判断纸袋里装的是钱。故选B。

12. C 　点拨: get得到; catch赶上; put放; send送。Kate认为捡到钱应该交给老师, 所以将装钱的纸袋放进了书包, 故选C。

13. C 　点拨: 根据题意可知, Kate并没有把钱给老师, 说明当时老师不在办公室; be not out指没有出去; be not away没有离开; be not in不在, be not off没有离开。所以选C。

14. C 　点拨: save救; lose丢失; find发现; make制作。根据句意可知是Kate把她发现钱的事告诉了朋友Mary。故选C。

15. C 　点拨: 由上文可知是送去老师的办公室。故选C。

16. C 　点拨: 缺少宾语, 当Mary摔倒, 弄伤后, 其他同学都不知道做什么。what to do做什么, 故选C。

17. C 　点拨: action行动; treatment治疗; help帮助; leave离开。kate告诉同学们向老师寻求帮助, 故选C。

18. D 　点拨: 老师赶来后, 把受伤的Mary送去了医院。而且后面提示医生做了检查, 故选D。

19. D 　点拨: 文章的开始已经提到是粉色的袋子。故选D。

20. D 　点拨: humorous幽默的; generous慷慨的; tidy整齐的; nice好的。Mary向Kate说出了真相, 因为是帮助了受伤的自己, 所以她应该认为Kate是一个很好的朋友。与慷慨, 幽默和整齐无关。故选D。

21. D 　点拨: 根据语境可知是因果关系, 故D。

22. D 　点拨: friendly 友好的; polite有礼貌的; generous慷慨的; honest诚实的。当Mary说出了真相, Kate对她的夸奖应是诚实的。故选D。

23. A 　点拨: never绝不; seldom很少; sometimes有时; usually通常。Kate告诫Mary以后不能再做错事, 故选A。

24. A 　点拨: prize奖品; laugh笑; joke玩笑; reply回复。因为Kate的乐于助人, 她应该被给了一个奖品, 以表扬她。故选A。

25. A 　点拨: 在Kate的帮助下, Mary不再贪婪, 变得诚实。故选A。

三、26. B 　点拨: 词义猜测题。从原句“But as Martin slowly revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash(废纸). . . ”中, 可以猜测, 在两人的书信往来中, Caitlin逐渐了解了Martin的生活状况。也就是说Martin向Caitlin透露了自己的生活情况。故选B。

27. C 　点拨: 信息排序题。通过文中的信息可以发现, 事情的发展顺序是先两人交了笔友, 然后开始通信, 再后来Martin在Caitlin的帮助下大学毕业, 最后两人通过一本书鼓励读者多帮助别人。故C的顺序是正确的。

28. D 　点拨: 细节判断题。由第五自然段的第一句话“It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin's arrival in the United States. ”可知他们通信了六年, 而不是five years。故D项是错误的。

29. A 　点拨: 主题总结题。文章讲述了两个笔友间的友谊, 并成功地得到对方帮助, 且鼓励更多的人去帮助别人的故事, 所以用笔友做标题最合适。故选A。

30. A 　点拨: 文章出处题。本文是一种励志的文章, 出现在杂志的可能性肯定大, 故选A。

四、31. height　32. closer　33. chose 　34. smiling

35. knocking

五、36－40: D　F　C　G　A
