四、
Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport（护照）.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents（文件）. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

1.【答案】B
【试题解析】细节题。

根据文章第一段Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.中的while looking for a house for me and our children可知我的丈夫到了悉尼稍作停留之后就开始为我和孩子找房子了。

说明找房子是丈夫计划要做的事情。

故B正确。

2.【答案】C
【试题解析】细节题。

根据文章倒数第二段后3行Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.孩子的父母亲仔细把这些文件进行分类，尽管里面有很多他们不熟悉的外国地址。

最后他们找到了“a half-written letter”一封写了一半的信，信里有丈夫给朋友的电话号码。

根据电话号码他们找到了我的丈夫。

故C项正确。

3.【答案】D
【试题解析】猜测词义题。

根据本句That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people这个家庭不仅仅把这些重要的文件归还给我们，而且还把对人的信任归还了我们。

再根据倒数第二段第一句My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers
and documents.说明restore表示归还。

故C正确。

4.【答案】C
【试题解析】主旨大意题。

本文叙述了作者的丈夫到悉尼，装有重要文件的箱子被偷掉了。

在他万般无奈的情况下，有人主动联系他，并归还他丢失的重要文件。

这些重要的文件在别人看来都不重要，但是对于丈夫来说却是万分重要。

选项中的C项能够说明文章的中心思想。

故C正确。

【长难句解析】
1.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. 【翻译】那天下午当他回来的时候，他发现自己的手提箱不见了。

【分析】本句中的不定式在句中充当的是结果状语，通常和only连用表示意料之外的结果。

现在分词在句中做状语，通常表示意料之中的结果。

2. That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.
【翻译】那家人不仅仅归还了这些重要的文件而且还归还了我们对人的信任。

【分析】本句中的谓语部分是由not on ly….but also…组成的一个并列结构。

要注意当not only放在句首的时候，要使用部分倒装的形式。

本句可以改为：Not only did the family restore the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.
五、
It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at ou r local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”
At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d
come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”
By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.
Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

【试题解析】推理题。

在去年的母亲节这一天，我们在购物的时候，前面有一位老人摔倒了并流了很多血。

儿子给她买了花，结果对方很感激儿子善意的做法。

也很开心有人能够关心她。

作者想通过这个事情告诉我们：有时候一件微不足道的的善意的行为会给自己和他人带来很多的快乐，要与人为善。

故D正确。

57. 【答案】B
【试题解析】推理题。

根据文章第二段2,3行It will make her feel better,” he said.
I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up.可知儿子提出要买花给她。

我立刻表示同意并表扬儿子的想法。

故B正确。

58. 【答案】C
【试题解析】推理题。

根据本句As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.尤其是横线后面的He said he was just too scared to go up to her可知对儿子来说，那么多的血让他很害怕，所以他不敢走过来。

故C正确。

59. 【答案】A
【试题解析】主旨大意题。

儿子给一个摔倒在地流了很多血的老人买了花，对方很感激儿子善意的做法。

鲜花让她很开心有人能够关心她。

告诉我们要与人为善。

选项中只有A项“鲜花的力量”符合文章思想，BCD都与文章内容有出入。

故A正确。

【长难句解析】
1.As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.
【翻译】当我们正要离开的时候，我们发现就在几分钟之前，一个老人在入口处摔倒了，头碰到了混凝土上。

【分析】本句中的as引导的是一个时间状语从句，句中使用过去进行时表示过去将来时。

另外动词found后面有一个宾语从句，因为宾语从句里发生的事情是在谓语动词之前，所以使用过去完成时。

2. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
【翻译】尽管受了重伤，浑身发抖，这位老人眼里含着爱意抬头看着Tenyson，并给他一个微笑。

【分析】本句是一个状语从句的省略现象，在though的后面省略了she was，当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且含有be动词的时候，可以把主语和be动词一起省略。

六、
For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.
In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still h ave not exactly learned to cope with
the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.
Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.
67. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The general view of elevators.
B. The particular interests of experts.
C. The desire for a remarkable machine.
D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.
68. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______.
A. to contrast their functions with elevators’
B. to emphasize the importance of elevators
C. to reveal their secret war against elevators
D. to explain people’s preference for elevators
69. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other
life experiences?
A. Vertical direction.
B. Lack of excitement.
C. Little physical space.
D. Uncomfortable conditions.
70. The author urges readers to consider ______.
A. the exact number of elevator lovers
B. the serious future situation of elevators
C. the role of elevators in city development
D. the relationship between cars and elevators

【文章大意】作者在本文中通过Dr. Christopher Wilk告诉我们电梯在美国人的生活中是
非常重要的。

随着城市规模的扩大，电梯的实使用越来越多。

人们要更加关注电梯的作用。

67. 【答案】A
【试题解析】推理题。

根据文章1,2行For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles.可知大部分人都认为电梯是不值得关注的机器。

而Dr. Christopher Wilk认为这是一种错误的想法，他认为电梯和汽车几乎同样重要。

故this就是在指大众对于电梯的错误的看法，故A正确。

68. 【答案】B
【试题解析】主旨大意题。

作者在本文中通过Dr. Christopher Wilk告诉我们电梯在美国人的生活中是非常重要的。

再根据文章最后一段And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.作者提醒我们要认真注意电梯的作用。

所以作者写作本文就是为了告诉我们电梯的作用。

故B正确。

69. 【答案】C
【试题解析】推理题。

本题较难。

根据第三段3,4，5行that riding in an elevator has never be en a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”可知人们陈祚电梯的时候感觉这不是很愉快，注意是因为电梯里的冷漠和不愉快。

而这主要是因为电梯里的空间太小，给人各种压抑感。

本题也可以使用排除法。

故C正确。

70. 【答案】C
【试题解析】推理题。

根据文章最后一段前4行Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever.可知随着城市规模的扩大，电梯的实使用越来越多。

人们要更加关注电梯的作用。

故C正确。

【长难句解析】
1.For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles.
【翻译】对于大部分的城市人来说，电梯是一种很寻常的机器，他无法激起美国人用在火车，飞机甚至自行车上的热情或兴趣。

【分析】本句中有一个定语从句that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles.修饰先行词an unremarkable machine。

关系代词that在句中做主语，引导起这个定语从句。

2. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.
【翻译】对于真正喜欢电梯的人，现在似乎是我们认真地看待电梯到底能带来什么样的力量的时候了。

【分析】本句中含有一个虚拟语气：It is (high) time that …；that后面的从句中有两种形式的虚拟语气：“should+动词原形”或者“过去时”。
