I saw a really good video last night when I was taking care of the kids.My sister asked me to look after my two nieces for a couple of hours while she went to the doctor's.They're both nine years old—they're twins.I was a bit tired but I know they love watching films，so on my way to the house I went to the video shop and rented a Disney classic.I'd seen it myself 20 years before when I was their age，so I was sure they'd enjoy it，and I was right.My nieces love dogs and as the film is about two dogs which fall in love，they sat in front of the TV for over an hour without moving！It's a complicated love story because one of the dogs lives in the rich part of town and is very carefully looked after and has everything a dog could want，but the other is a street dog who lives on the poor side of town and has nothing.So it's a bit like Romeo and Juliet！But of course it's a Disney film，so there's a happy ending.Everybody who's seen the film always remembers the scene when the two dogs are eating a plate of bone which ends in a kiss！

transformation that had taken place，at least for me.What Mrs.McNamara 54

语篇解读：我上中学时的一位英语老师很特别，她的教学方法让我难忘。

老师给我们布
置课外阅读作业，回学校后我们就要按老师的要求写作文，并当堂读给全班同学听，由
大家来进行评判。

这种教学方式使我对学习用心了，成绩也进步了。

36.A.nodded ughed C.apologized D.shouted
解析：从后面对10年级英语老师的叙述看，本题选B。

上课的第一天，“我”询问一
个高年级的学生关于Mrs. McNamara的情况，结果对方哈哈大笑，他知道，在后面
她的课堂上有我难受的时候。

对方不会因为“我”的询问而“道歉、喊叫”。

答案：B
37.A.trouble B.sorrow C.danger
D.anger
解析：他认为“我”到这个老师的班上学习会有“我”难受的时候。

答案：A
38.A.behaviour B.evaluation C.activity
D.thought
解析：从文章叙述的作者的经历看，老师给“我们”的作文评分，再由同学评论
“我”的作文，因此这是老师组织的一种教学活动，而不是老师对“我们”的评价。

答案：C
39.A.review B.performance
C.practice
D.homework
解析：下文提到the homework reading，由此判断选D，老师给“我们”布置的
家庭作业是回家后进行阅读。

答案：D
40.A.added B.related C.contributed
pared
解析：第二天到学校，老师就在黑板上写下两或三个与“我们”头一天的课外阅读相
关的话题作为写作任务。

这里用(be) related to表示“与……有关”。

A项“添加”，
C项“做贡献”，D项“比较”都不符合语境。

答案：B
41.A.expected B.persuaded C.allowed
D.advised
解析：这是老师让学生根据话题写课堂作文，因此用expect sb. to do sth.表示“期
待某人做某事”。

B项“说服”，C项“允许”，D项“劝告”都不符合语境。

答案：B
42.A.collect B.return C.send
D.receive
解析：第二天老师就把“我们”交的作文发下来，还给“我们”。

而这些作文已经被
老师批改过且评过分。

从动作的顺序看，前面提到读书、写文章、修改、评分，因此
这里表示把作文发还给“我们”。

答案：B
43.A.on purpose B.at first C.by chance D.in
turn
解析：依次叫学生到全班学生面前。

A项“故意”，B项“起初”，C项“偶然地”，
都不符合语境。

答案：D
44.A.talk through B.hand over
C.read out
D.show off
解析：老师把作文批改并发给“我们”后，此时要求“我们”依次当着全班同学的
面朗读自己的作文，因此选C表示“朗读，宣读”。

答案： C
45.A.so B.and C.but D.or
解析：本题有一定难度。

语境表示老师要求班上每个学生都要对被朗读的文章进行评
论，否则的话，全班同学都要挨罚：降低成绩。

答案：D
46.A.tried B.adopted C.examined D.experienced
解析：作者在回顾“我”第一次尝到苦头时的情景，用experience表示“体验”
她的教学方法。

答案：D
47.A.undertaken B.attempted C.bothered
D.hesitated
解析：这里用bother to do sth.表示“为某事操心”。

“我”第一次上她的课时，
懒得去做老师布置的课外阅读。

undertake to do sth.表示“许诺做某事”，不符
合语境。

答案：C
48.A.Remember B.Predict C.Bear D.Imagine
解析：这是回顾过去的经历。

老师布置的课外阅读“我”没有看，因此写的作文
是什么内容，有多糟糕，并且当堂朗读自己的作文，这是什么滋味，有多尴尬就可
想而知了。

答案：D
49.A.playing jokes on B.making a fool of
C.setting a trap for
D.taking advantage of
解析：这里用make a fool of表示“捉弄”，“我”让自己在全班同学面前出丑。

答案：B
50.A.brave B.careless C.proud D.selfish
解析：从语境的逻辑关系判断选A。

在Mrs. Mc Namara的课堂上，任何人都会遇到
让自己尴尬的情景，要嘲笑别人需要勇气，而这样做也是愚蠢的，因为这样的情况
随时会降临到嘲笑别人的同学身上。

答案：A
51.A.above B.within C.behind D.below
解析：“我”在这次经历中感觉到的尴尬是发自内心的，同时“我”也下定决心不
再这样。

答案：B
52.A.tendency B.preference C.determination
D.sense
解析：“我”下定决心，从此认真对待学习，坚决不让这样的事情再次发生。

答案：C
53.A.improvements B.pains
C.difficulties
D.advantages
解析：老师把“我们”的书面作文都存档放好，因此很容易从“我们”的作业中看
到“我们”的成长与进步。

答案：A
54.A.trusted B.invited C.forced
D.permitted
解析：从前面叙述的故事可知，这样的活动是老师的教学安排，任何人都不能逃
避，因此选C，老师督促/逼着我们这样做。

答案：C
55.A.did B.could C.had D.would
解析：这里用did代替前面的could improve myself.老师让“我”认识到自己的真
实情况，以使“我”进步，在她的督促下，“我”进步了。

答案：A

A
Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29， 1958) is
an American recording artist，entertainer，and
businessman. In the early 1980s， he became an important
figure in popular music. The popularity of his music
videos，such as “Beat It”，“Billie Jean” and “Thriller”， helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as “Black or White” and “Scream” made Jackson a famous person on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos， Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques，such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and sound style influenced hip hop，pop and contemporary R&B artists.
Jackson has donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundation， charity singles and support of 39 charities. The singer has experienced health concerns since the early 1990s and conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children.
One of the few artists to have been inducted (进入)into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice， his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records－including one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time”－13 Grammy Awards，13 number one singles in his solo career－more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era－and the sale of over 750 million units worldwide. As one of the world's most famous men， Jackson's highly publicized personal life， coupled with his successful career， has made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.

A.The popularity of Michael Joseph Jackson's music videos
B.The health concerns and the finances of Michael Joseph Jackson

答案：B
58.What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean？
A.outstanding
B.interesting
C.pleasant
eful
解析：词义猜测题。

根据上下文可知应翻译成“独特的，有特色的”，故A项正确。

B.Twice.
C.Three times.
D.Five times.
解析：细节理解题。

由文中第三段“One of the few artists to have been inducted (进入)into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice,...”可知B项正确。

答案：B
B
We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.
“Look down，Elsa，”father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross (十字形)of twisting，turning streets leading to the square.“See，my dear，”father said
gently.“There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road，try another.”
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to father for help，he would not interfere(干涉).Instead，he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home，I had a plan.
At school the next day，I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(气急败坏地说)，“The cook must have gone mad！”Quickly I told what I had done，and mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day！
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal.Father's wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
60.The author's father took her to the top of a church tower to .
A.enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town
B.find out how many ways lead to the square
C.inspire her to find out another way to solve her problem
D.help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day
解析：细节理解题。

根据第二段的“See，my dear，”father said gently.“There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road，try another.”可知作者的父亲想让作者明白，生活就像广场一样，有不止一条路通向你想去的地方，故选C。

答案：C
61.What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day？

I remember my first home.It was a small apartment with a lovely balcony(阳台)，which was a great hobby place for my father.After work he used to grow flowers in boxes there.He dealt carefully with them like a mother taking care of her baby.“No one else can touch them，”he said to Mom.Every day，when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.
When the flowers had grown big enough，Dad enjoyed watching them every day.We kids did too.One day my little sister had a great idea.Wanting to help Dad，she cut the flowers from their stems(茎)and arranged them on the floor.She believed that he would be very pleased to see them that way.
When Mom realized what my sister had done，she didn't say a word.My sister didn't understand why we were so quiet without a word of appreciation.When Dad got home and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals，he couldn't believe his eyes.He looked towards the street，to see if there was one from the neighbors' children who could have done it.Then he entered the living room and
looked at Mom in silence.We all waited for a punishment.Mom，who always taught us to tell the truth，looked at Dad and said，“We have no bad neighbors in our area.”Then with a nice tone she continued，“No outsider did this great job，only our lovely daughter Linda.”Dad's face changed from tense to a smile and then he said，“Do I have a better flower than my lovely daughter？”My sister smiled and gave Dad a big hug.

In a survey of 1,500 European hotel managers，Americans were ranked second，behind the Japanese，as the world's best tourists.In the survey，conducted in April by the online travel site Expedia's German branch，Americans were seen as the most likely to try to speak a foreign language and the most interested in sampling local food.
Americans came in third，behind the Japanese and British，as the“most polite”tourists，and third，behind the Japanese and Germans，as“best behaved”.And－we're sure this has nothing to do with how the hotel managers view Americans－Americans were ranked far and away as the world's most generous tippers and biggest spenders.
On the other hand，Americans were seen as the shabbiest dressers，the most likely to complain and the second noisiest.Who's louder？Only the Italians.
Some of the other findings：Russians were seen as the least polite travelers，followed by the Israelis and French.The stingiest tippers：the Germans，followed by the French and Israelis.
Italians，by far，were ranked as the best dressers，followed by the French and the Spanish.In terms of bad dressing，the British were a distant second to Americans，followed by the Germans.
Who's the most unwilling to try speaking in a foreign language？The French，the British and the Italians，in that order.
The Chinese are the most reluctant to sample foreign food，followed closely by－this is strange－the British，whose home cuisine is probably the world's most seriously laughed at (a little unfairly，perhaps).
And，finally，the overall award for“worst tourists in the world”goes to
the French，with the Indians and Chinese taking home the silver and bronze，respectively.
