A
A traveler lost his way and got off the highway to see where he was. As he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigpens (猪舍) and pigs running in fields. Suddenly, his eyes caught something really strange. It looked like a pig with a wooden leg!
He drove up into the farm, where he met the farmer. “Excuse me，” the traveler said. “I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I just had to stop and ask about it. Tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg？”The farmer smiled. “Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He's the finest pig I've ever had —and smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig.”
“One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I fell down and knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused (唤醒) me up and got me out. There is no question about it —that night old Caesar saved all our lives. Y ou know that I'm not going to forget it too easily.”
“Why，” the traveler said, “this is amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me，how did he get that wooden leg？”
The farmer laughed and said, “Well，when you have a pig so smart, you don't want to eat him all at one time！”

B
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy (吝啬) to rent (租) a chair. Their twelve-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water's edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard (救生员) was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam
quickly to where the girl was, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. However, he was a skillful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They had run down to the water's edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had. “That was quick work, young man，”Mr. Gordon said. He turned to his wife, “Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar！”Sandra cried. “Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead.” “Quite right, girl”，Mr. Gordon said, pleased by his daughter's awareness (知道) of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said, “She's right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents.”
24．What would probably have happened to Sandra if the lifeguard had not been on the beach?
A. Her father would have saved her.
B. Her mother would have saved her.
C. She would have swum back to the beach.
D. She would have been drowned.
答案与解析D注意if引导的条件句，根据短文，Sandra的父母都不会游泳，如果救生员没有及时赶到，她很可能被淹死。

25．What did Mr. and Mrs. Gordon do when Sandra was carried out to sea by the wave?
A. They shouted to the lifeguard.
B. They dived into the water.
C. Perhaps they were reading magazines.
D. They offered the lifeguard money to save Sandra.
答案与解析C由“By the time he reached it，Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened.”一句再结合文章开始说明他们在沙滩上读杂志，故可判断C项正确。

26．Why was Sandra angry with her father?
A. He did not give the lifeguard any money.
B. He did not swim out to save her.
C. He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness.
D. He gave the lifeguard too much money.
答案与解析C“Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead.”仔细揣摩说话人语气即可判断。

27．Why was Mr. Gordon pleased with her daughter?
A. She was safe again.
B. She was polite to the lifeguard.
C. He thought she did not want him to give the lifeguard too much money.
D. She gave the lifeguard fifty cents.
答案与解析C文章一开始就提到Mr. Gordon是个吝啬鬼，C项较贴切。

C
A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.
The event happened in the early rooming hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn't take that.”
The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why？”
“I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back，” the President said.
The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.”
“Are you President Coolidge？” he asked.
The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over.”
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice , “I'll take this and leave everything else.”
Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款)．
He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
28．Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?
A. Because the former President was still living in the White House.
B. Because the former First Lady hadn't left the White House.
C. Because the First Lady liked to live there.
D. Because he liked there.
答案与解析B根据第二段“The former President's wife was still living in the White House.”可知，前任总统的夫人仍然住在白宫，因此，B项为正确答案。

29．The young man and his roommate went back to the college ________.
A. by air
B. by water
C. by bus
D. by train
答案与解析D根据倒数第二段“Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college.”可知，他和室友是乘火车回到学校的。

30．What is NOT the character of President Coolidge?
A. Considerate.
B. Kind.
C. Generous.
D. Selfish.
答案与解析D根据文章可知，总统并没有惩罚小偷说明他很generous，送给他火车票说明他很kind，让他从窗子逃走说明他很considerate，因此，D项为正确答案。

31．Which of the following might happen afterwards?
A. The young student repaid the $32.
B. The thief was put into prison.
C. The President told many reporters the thief's name.
D. The President ordered the young man to repay the money.
答案与解析A根据“Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.”可知，年轻人是要还给总统32美元的。

D
Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
“In my opinion，” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember：the people who built them only had simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful，”the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？”
The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful，too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos？”they exclaimed. “Bu t
that's a simple thing.”
“Oh, no, it's not，” the third man said. “In winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer？”
32．The three men could not agree on what the world's greatest wonder was because ________.
A. they could not think of anything very wonderful
B. they all had different ideas
C. they could not prove that their opinions were right
D. the journey ended too.soon
答案与解析B通读全文可知，对于“世界上最大的奇迹是什么”这一问题各有各自的观点，故本题选B正确。

33．The first man thought the pyramids were the most wonderful things in the world because ________.
A. they were very beautiful
B. they were Egyptian
C. they had been built with very simple tools
D. they could do mathematical calculations
答案与解析C第二段后两句即本题答案出处。

本题选C正确。

34．The third man thought a thermos was the most wonderful thing in the world because ________.
A. it lasted longer than the pyramids
B. it cost less than a computer
C. he thought it knew whether it was winter or summer
D. the other two men were surprised when he told them about it
答案与解析C细节理解题。

本题选C正确，由短文最后一段可得出此答案。

35．The third man was not very clever because ________.
A. he could not think of anything to say
B. he did not understand how a thermos works
C. he did not think the pyramids were wonderful
D. he did not know anything about computers
答案与解析B从最后一段可知，第三个人对于保温瓶保温的原理不懂。

故本题选B正确。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

For a long time, I have been thinking about the idea of going abroad to do something worthwhile(值得做的), such as doing some voluntary work, working with kids or animals. However, I had been stopped for different choices with the kind of things I could do and different countries where I could do them. __36__ And I had been puzzling over how I was able to afford the flights, costs and everything.
I thought I couldn't wait to do something. __37__ So I just got up off my bed and went downstairs. I started making sandwiches, and then put some crisps, some biscuits and an apple into about six little picnic bags. I called a couple of friends and told them my idea that I was going into the city to give these foods out to the homeless. __38__ While we were buying some other things in the supermarket, we saw a whole cooked chicken that was on sale, so we bought it. We gave it to the first homeless man we came across. __39__ What a feeling like no other!
__40__ But I was very sad because I knew I had only helped one person out of thousands. Actually, it made me cry. But still at least I felt good to have helped others and the excitement got me satisfied, so I just had to keep doing that!
I think we don't need to look too hard or travel too far for the things that are always on our own doorsteps.

答案与解析
41．D下文讲这位父亲因小女孩浪费了金色包装纸而大发脾气，故可推断他“惩罚”了这个小女孩。

其他选项与下文父亲生气的情景不符。

42．A因为第三句提到“Money was tight”，故这个父亲想惩罚她的原因是因为她“... wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper.”。

其他选项不能表达女孩用金纸包装盒子。

43．B此处可由第二段的第一句中“... his anger flared again ...”得到提示。

其他选项不能与下文内容一致。

44．C根据第44空前的内容可知，女孩应该是做了个小盒子。

能够放在圣诞树下的当然不可能是room和hall。

45．A前后意义转折，故用副词Nevertheless(尽管如此)。

but是连词，一般不用逗号而是直接跟句子。

46．A从后面一句话“This is for you, Daddy.”可以看出，小女孩是把礼物送给了她的父亲。

其他选项不符合文中情景。

47．D面对这种场面，想起自己曾经为此惩罚女儿，父亲肯定感到很尴尬。

“迷惑”“惊奇”“恐惧”都不能表达父亲此时的感受。

48．B父亲的行为很明显是过火的行为。

overreaction意为“过激反应”。

overwork“过度工作”，overcoat“大衣”，overpass“天桥；立交桥”，均不符合文意。

49．A从后面小女孩的回答“Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all.”可知，父亲发现这个盒子里没装礼物，是空的。

其他选项与上下文意不符。

50．C“there be supposed to be”是“应当有”之意。

happen to和seem to之前不加is; be used to意为“习惯于……”，与文意不符。

51．C根据常识判断，小女孩应是“抬头向上”看父亲。

“向下看”，“向后看”，“向前看”都不能表达小女孩看父亲的样子。

52．A联系空后“I blew kisses into the box.”可以知道，小女孩说，盒子里并非一无所有。

not ... at all是“一点也不……”之意。

after all“毕竟、别忘了”，above all“首先；最重要的是”，in all“总计”，不符合题意。

53．A女孩送给父亲的盒子不是空的，而是装满了她的吻，父亲知道自己错怪了女儿，因此他紧紧抱住女儿，请求她的谅解。

put one's arms around是固定搭配，意为“把……搂在怀里”。

其他选项不符合搭配。

54．B联系空前的begged for her ...，我们知道，父亲为自己的过错而请求女儿的“宽恕”。

其他选项不能表达父亲此时的懊悔心情。

55．C通常只有“事故”才能夺去女孩的生命。

event通常指重要、有意思或不寻常的事件；incident多指“(政治性)事件”；action“行动”不会夺去女孩生命。

56．D四个选项都是时间词。

父亲珍爱自己的女儿对自己的感情，因此父亲把这个金盒子放在床边许多年。

其他选项不符合常理。

57．A女儿已去，但爱永存。

父亲拿出来的这个吻实际上是不存在的，是他“假想的”。

其他选项都有干扰性，这些形容词都不能准确地表达这些吻是父亲的想象。

58．A联系空后的“... unconditional love and kisses ...”我们知道，盒子里面充满了吻。

be filled with是“充满了”的意思。

其他选项分别意为“高兴于……”“满了……”“装备有……”。

59．C父亲把这份充满情谊的吻看作财富，因此珍藏起来。

hold possession(of)意为“拥有……”。

love和kiss不能被看作是world和feeling，因此排除。

60．B没有什么财富比这更宝贵的了。

其他选项不能表达这些吻的珍贵。

范文
Dear_Li_Hua，
I_hope_you_are_fine. How did you spend your holiday? I spent the May Day alone in the country. It is 50 kilometres away from the city centre. The weather there was fine and the holiday went quite well. However, something unfortunate happened at night. After I went to sleep in my sleeping bag, the bike which I borrowed from one of my neighbours was stolen. I feel very bad about it. I'm writing to ask you for your advice. Should I indemnify him for the loss or should I buy a new bike for him? Or do you have any other advice?
Best wishes!。
