We spent a day in the country，picking wild flowers.Our car looked like a flower shop inside！On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights，and then my wife noticed the cupboard.
It was tall and narrow，and it stood outside a furniture shop.“Buy it，”she said at once.“We’ll carry it home on the roof rack (车顶架)．I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do？Ten minutes later I was $20 poorer，and the cupboard was tied onto the roof rack.The police even stopped traffic to let us through.Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said，“There is a long line of cars behind.Why don’t the y overtake (超车)，I wonder？”
In fact a police car did overtake.The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed.But then with great kindness，they led us through the rush­hour traffic.The police car stopped at our village church.One of the officers came to me.
I was puzzled.“Thanks，officer，”I said.“You’ve been very kind.I live just down the road.”
He was staring at our load：first at the flowers，then at the cupboard.“Well，well，”he said，laughing，“It’s a cupboard you’ve got here! We thought it was...er，something else.”
My wife began to laugh.Then the truth struck me immediately.I smiled at the officer，“Yes，it’s a cupboard，but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

A year ago in August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，”says Dave.
B ut the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，”says their friend Sandy Van Weelden，“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community (社区) and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
60．According to the text，the Fusses ________.
A．were employed by a truck company
B．were in financial difficulty
C．worked in a school cafeteria
D．lost their home
61．Which of the following is TRUE of the Hatches?
A．They had their children during the Great Depression.
B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
62．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
A．They decided to open a store.
B．They wanted to save money.
C．They couldn’t afford expensive things.
D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
63．What can we learn from the text?
A．The community of Alto was poor.
B．The summer camp was attractive to the parents.
C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D．The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.
C
Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？In 2040 it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return.You will choose the temperature for each room，the lighting and the humidity (湿度)．A sensor (传感器) will detect the presence of a human (and，with luck，ignore the dog) and turn the systems on，and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer，and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you.They will detect faulty electrical appliances，plugs or switches，isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone，and then warn you that they need repair.They will detect fire and if you are out of the house，the computer will call the fire group.It will also call the police if the sensors detect an intruder (非法闯入者)．This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic.You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key，and a housebreaker will have to tamper (摆弄) with the lock or with a window.It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman policeman servant.It will be an entertainer，and most of your entertainment will come right into your home.It does now，of course，but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more.For one thing，you will be able to take part actively，rather than just watching.
64．The author intends to tell us that in 2040 ________.
A．we will live without lights and heaters
B．we will use more lights and heaters
C．lights and heaters will be on and off automatically
D．there will be no switches of lights and heaters
65．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.
B．The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.
C．Without a computer，the sensor cannot do much.
D．The sensor is multi­functional.
66．According to the author，in 2040，new technology ________.
A．will turn everything into sensors
B．will free us from the keys we use today
C．will make the locks out of date
D．will get rid of all crimes
67．The best title for the passage might be ________.
A．Life at Home in the Year 2040
B．Sensors and Computers
C．The Development of Science and Technology
D．Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040
D
Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago.My next­door neighbor and fellow mother，Christie，and I were out in our front yards，watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.“I wish I could take one of my children out alone，”said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan：When Christie takes one of her children out，I’ll watch her other three.And when she watches two of mine，I’ll take someone out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me”
time.Christie’s daughter，McKenzie，went first.When she returned，the other children showered her with tons of questions.McKenzie was smiling broadly.Christie looked refreshed and happy.“She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around，” Christie shared with me quietly.With her mother all to herself，McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie，I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times.For example，I am always surprised when my daughter，who is seldom close to me，holds my hand frequently.My stuttering (口吃的) son，Tom，doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak.And the other son，Sam，who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child—talking，sharing，and laughing，which has been the biggest gain.Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in a while.
68．What is the text mainly about?
A．The experience of the only child being with mother.
B．The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C．The happy life of two families.
D．The basic needs of children.
69.Right after McKenzie came back，the other children were ________.
A．happy B．curious
C．regretful D．friendly
70．What does everyone gain in “Mommy and Me” time according to the passage?
A．Every mother has more free time to do things they like.
B．Every child has more chances to express and enjoy themselves.
C．Every child can get rid of his or her stuttering.
D．Both A and B.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer.
71．____Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way.Others burst with anger and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside.They can not or will not express it.This is called repressing anger.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
73．____They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is，they say，“74.____Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

21．D [考查动词词义辨析。

根据后面的“...as I don’t have enough money”可知我是买不起的，afford是“买得起；有能力支付”，但是只表示能力，不表示个人意愿。

句意为：这件裙子很漂亮，但是我买不起，因为我没有足够的钱。

]
22．B [考查名词前限定词的顺序。

last为序数词类，few为基数词类，sunny为描述性形容词。

]
23．A [考查词组辨析。

句意为：许多人喜欢在郊区度周末的原因是为了放松和摆脱城市中拥挤的人群。

get away from摆脱，符合句意。

get out of出去；look forward to期待；take part in参加。

]
24．B [考查现在完成时的用法。

句意为：我父母结婚将近二十年了，从未争吵过一次。

时间是从结婚到说话时间，所以用现在完成时；因为argue with sb.和某人争吵，没有被动用法，所以C项不符合逻辑。

]
25．A [考查固定句型。

so＋与前句主语相同的主语＋助动词/系动词/情态动词，表示赞同对方观点，意为“的确，确实”。

]
26．C [考查连词用法。

根据句意“经理告诉我在公司当需要帮助的时候，不要害怕向人求助”可知用when。

]
27．D [考查副词词义辨析。

句意为：幸运的是，这个地区的流感病毒已经被控制住了，不会传播到其他地方了。

usually通常地；especially特别地；similarly类似地；fortunately幸运地。

]
28．B [考查短语辨析。

a large number of和a great many都修饰可数名词复数；a great deal of修饰不可数名词；a large amount后需跟介词of再修饰不可数名词；题干中office work为不可数名词，故需用a great deal of。

]
29．D [这是it作形式主语的名词性从句。

句意为：金融危机是否会很快结束不会立刻明朗的。

若主语从句中去掉soon，也可以选C项，即“金融危机什么时候会结束”；what 在从句中没法与其他成分搭配；since自从……以来，不合句意。

]
30．B [考查exchange的用法。

exchange sth.with sb.for sth.用……和某人换……。

] 31．C [考查­ed分词作定语。

the manager和bother是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作定语，相当于定语从句who was bothered by the noise outside the office。

] 32．D [考查冠词用法。

unemployment为抽象名词，不可数，故前不使用冠词；the college graduate名词单数前使用定冠词，此处表示类指。
