1．I had never noticed her．She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention．She was not tall（1）looked ordinary．In class，she liked sitting at the back，reading or writing notes．One day I asked her（2）aloud the text．When I heard her standard （标准）American English，I looked at her with new eyes．And I remembered her name﹣Kelly．Later on，the National College Speech Competition would be held．One student in our school（3）to attend．I thought it over and filled in her name．Kelly practised（4）for the competition．However，I was a little worried （5）she was always too quiet．Could she really（6）well in the competition？（7）the night of the competition，I sat in the front row of the hall very early．I told her to take it easy．Her face turned red and she said nothing．（8）seemed that she was really nervous．I felt upset，but I just patted her on（9）shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签）．As a result，she drew No.9while No.8was a boy who was very good at giving speeches．

While they（11）about his speech with excitement，Kelly appeared on the stage．I with no courage to look at her．It was her（12）time to go up the stage，so I couldn't be angry with her for any small mistakes．But at that moment，I found （13）I was so afraid of her failure（失败）．

But the moment that surprised me came．I clearly heard a voice，a very loud voice，"Now，please focus on me．" Three times in all，louder and louder．
The whole audience fell silent．

16．A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth（来回地）．It seems a little（16）
and many people may not be interested in it．The two people are close enough to talk，but too far to touch．They might have baseball gloves，or they might use their hands．
In fact，playing catch is part of（17）practice﹣to make you get used to using a ball and glove．But anyAmerican kid will teach you it's much more than that．Playing catch is a time for kids to（18）with your father．It's a time when there's （19）to worry about except catching a ball．It's a time when words move
asseamlessly（准确不误地）as the ball itself，back and forth，easy and relaxing．It's an excuse to（20）time together．
Because baseball is an American sport，and a big part of being American，playing catch is kind of an all﹣American dad activity．In the suburbs（郊区），most people have backyards﹣not（21）enough to play baseball in，but just big enough for a game of catch．Those who have no（22）can play in the street or in the park．When adults are asked to talk about the good（23）of their dads，many of them will say something about playing catch．Why？Probably because dads are usually very （24）．A catch game is a time that is only for one thing．This is a time when a kid has her dad's（25）．There is no work，no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you．For the time that it takes to play a game of catch，your dad is all yours．16．A．interesting B．boring C．amazing D．exciting

Now Kenny spends his weekends catering his own events：weddings，birthday parties，baby showers and so on．Kenny's dishes are always a hit．
Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks，owner of a catering business，said Kenny's success comes from his ability in the kitchen．Hicks said he has asked Kenny to cook with him on jobs three times now，and he presents Kenny as a positive example of a good chef to the students in his cooking classes．

36．The following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg．They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up，leading New York City as mayor（市长），and so on．Take Risks
Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure．
In 1981，at the age of 39，I lost my job．The next day I took a big risk and began my own company．In 2001，when I was debating whether to run for mayor，most people advised me not to do it．But one person said，"If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech，then why not go for it？"That was the best advice I received，and I followed it．
In order to succeed，you must first be willing to fail﹣and you must have the courage to go for it anyway．Make your own luck
Luck plays a part in success．The harder you work，the luckier you get．
Whatever you choose to do，even if it's not the job of your dreams，always work hard at it．Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night．Hard work creates chances．
Never stop learning
The most powerful word in English language is"why"．There is nothing so powerful
as an open，inquiring mind（探究精神）．Whatever field you choose for starting a business﹣be a lifelong student．Give back
You are responsible for your success and failure，but you only succeed if you share the reward with others．
My first donation was a 5check to my alma mater （母校）．And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today，they come with the same spirit．
You don't have to be wealthy to give back．You can give back by giving your time and talents．

41．Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes!The program works because everyone's eyes are different．So in the future you won't have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank．You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are．
The eye﹣recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA，Britain，Spain，Italy and Turkey．Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are．
Eye﹣recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜），which includes the following steps．First，a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one's iris from his eyes and store them．Second，when this person goes to the bank to take out money，this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）．Then，this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction．Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same，this person will be identified，and he will take out the money from the bank successfully．
However，scientists are also working on other systems．Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell!We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger．
Eye﹣recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older，and don't get dirty like hands or fingers，and even twins have different eyes．So the eye﹣recognition program can be up to 94% correct，depending on how good the technology is．However，some other programs may only be 51% correct now．In Britain，it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye﹣recognition．
In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye．So smile!
41．The program has been tested in shops and banks in．
A．America and China
B．Spain and Japan
C．Britain and Turkey

43．According to Paragraph 4，for now，machines can identify people by．
A．fingers and smell
B．face and voice

D．hand and face
44．What does Paragraph 4also talk about？
A．Other kinds of systems to identify people．
B．Some special things of other programmes．
C．The places where other programmes are tested．
D．Some old machines used to identify people．
45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A．All the eye﹣recognition programs can be up to 94% correct．
B．In Britain，91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye recognition．

【考点】记叙文．
【分析】短文介绍了一个名叫Kelly的女孩，她不是那种能引起人们注意的女孩．她的个子不高，看起来很普通．在班级中，她喜欢坐在后面，读或者记笔记．一天当我听到地道的美语口音读课文的时候，我对她有了新的看法．不久，举行国内大学生演讲比赛．我们学校允许一人参加，经过仔细的考虑，给她报名参加了这次演讲比赛，在她参加演讲的时候，面对前面的选手精彩的演讲，她能够从容地面对，并没有展示出一点紧张的状态，她取得了一个完美的表现．通过她的表现，作者总结出一句话：在任何时候都不要低估自己的能力．
【解答】1．D．考查连词及语境的理解．根据She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention．She was not tall﹣﹣looked ordinary．可知句意为她不是那种能引起人们注意的女孩．她的个子不高，看起来很普通．这里介绍她给别人的感觉，前面应该是并列关系，所以这里用and来连接．故选D．
2．C．考查动词及语境的理解．根据One day I asked her﹣﹣aloud the text．可知句意为：一天，我让她的读课文．这里考查了ask的用法，ask sb to do sth让某人做某事，后面跟to引导的不定式形式．故选C．3．C．考查动词及语境的理解．根据One student in our school﹣﹣to attend．可知句意为在我们学校允许一人参加，句子中our school和allow之间是被动关系，所以句子使用被动语态，这里动作发生在过去，应该用一般过去时的被动语态，由was/were+动词过去分词构成．故选C．
4．A．考查副词及语境的理解．根据Kelly practised﹣﹣for the competition．可知句意为：Kelly为比赛很努力的练习着．这里practise是一个动词，修饰动词一般用副词形式，hard，努力地，本身就是个副词．这里没有和其它进行比较，用原形即可．故选A．
5．B．考查连词及语境的理解．根据However，I was a little worried﹣﹣she was always too quiet，可知句意为然而，我还是有点担心，因为她是一个文静的女孩．句子中我担心的原因是因为她是一个文静的女孩．所以这里用because来引导句子．故选B

9．D．考查冠词及语境的理解．根据I felt upset，but I just patted her on﹣﹣shoulder and let her go to draw lots （抽签），可知句意为我很担心，但是，我依然拍拍她的肩膀让她去抽签，句子考查patted sb on the shoulder，拍拍某人的肩膀，这里是特指，所以用定冠词the．故选D
10．B．考查形容词及语境的理解．根据Sure enough，No.8was very﹣﹣．The whole audience made a warm applause，可知句意为八号的演讲很成功．全场的观众都为他鼓掌，这里放在系动词was的后面应该跟形容词，successful，形容词，成功的．故选B．
11．D．考查动词及语境的理解．根据While they﹣﹣about his speech with excitement，Kelly appeared on the stage，可知句意为直到Kelly走上演讲台，大家还在兴奋地谈论着八号的演讲，句子中while的意思是当…的时候，引导一个时间状语从句，时态通常用进行时，这里appeared是过去时，所以句子应该用过去进行时，由was/were+动词的现在分词构成．故选D．
12．C．考查数词及语境的理解．根据It was her﹣﹣time to go up the stage，so I couldn't be angry with her for any small mistakes．可知句意为这是她第一次上台，如果她犯了错误，我也不会生气，句子考查It is/was one's first time to do sth表示这是某人第一次做某事，这里用序数词，前面有形容词性物主代词her，所以不能再加定冠词the．故选C．
