小题1:考查介词及语境的理解。A超...方向B 向下 C 去 D向上。句意，每天晚上他都会看到一个工人爬上山穿过边界。因为后面的宾语是hill，所以需要填写的是向上的介词up。故选D。

小题7:考查形容词及语境的理解。A庆幸；B 希望；C考虑；D想知道。根据文章的意思，句意，皮特知道这个工人是在走私，但是一直没查出来，所以他总是希望在草中找到金子什么的。故选B。
小题8:考查不定代词及语境的理解。A什么没有；B某物；C 一切；D任何一个 。句意，皮特总希望能在草中找到金子或者值钱的东西，但是他从来没找到过东西。因为前面有never 所以后面要用 anything 而不用 nothing故选A。
小题9:考查形容词及语境的理解。A可能的； B强壮的；C能够 be able to；D 聪明的。 句意，皮特知道她一定是在走私什么，但是他始终想不出到底是什么。根据上下文的意思，皮特不能够找到证据，所以选C。

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium (体育场). He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!

When are you an adult?
When do you think you are an adult? Maybe different have different ideas.
Now let"s see what some American teenagers say.
Sam: In idea, you are an adult at the of 18. That"s when you can vote(投票）. You can help to who rules the whole country. That"s also a grown-up does! My grandfather couldn"t vote he was 21. They changed it to 18 in 1971.
Jenny: I don"t it"s hard to say. I can drive a car at 16, can"t I? When you have a driver"s license, you can it to people to tell them your age for all kinds of things. sixteen must be the age when you change from a person to an adult. Because you can tell others you are not a any more.
Suzie: Well, I think there is wrong with American laws for when young people can things. I can vote at 18 and drive at 16. So you would think that 18 is a grown-up, 16 isn"t. But then I can"t drink wine until I"m 21! If I"m an adult at 18, how can people stop me from a cup of beer in a bar?

My brother and I often fight with each other over small things. One day our father said to us, “Tomorrow we will take part in the Ray Home Sports Day. Both of you must go with me. Perhaps you can learn something from those children.” My brother laughed, “Dad, Ray is a home for physically disabled children. What can we learn from them?”
“You will see,” our father said.
Our father works as a volunteer at Ray. The children there have problems with their hands, speech, walking or hearing. Every day, he spends hours helping them to move or exercise their legs or arms.
The following day, he took us to Ray Home. When we got there, we found a nice place to sit down. Finally, the sports began. There was a 50-meter race to see who could run fastest. All the runners were physically disabled. As the race started, all the children moved as fast as they could. Just then, one of the girls fell over and hurt her leg. She began to cry at the top of her voice.
All the children stopped to help the poor girl. Then they all held hands and finished the race together. My brother and I were surprised to see this: the children weren’t interested in winning the race－they were more interested in helping each other to finish the race.

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who has wings of their own and who will fly with me.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let’s start with a train whistle（鸣笛）today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social persons and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair（失望）and I was in despair, too. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not travel over this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a great friend whose imagination brightens mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.
It is such comforting companions（陪伴）I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be with my own best friend.
小题1:We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the writer ______ finally.| A．wasn’t serious about her studies | | B．didn’t like writing poems or stories | | C．became popular with her classmates | | D．developed her proper social behaviors |
小题2:The underlined sentence “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.| A．our tour in London was a memorable gift to both of us | | B．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared | | C．we were unwilling to stay away from London | | D．we waved goodbye to each other in London |
小题3:What is the best title for the passage?| A．Unforgettable Experiences. | | B．Unbelievable Imagination. | | C．Touching Companions. | | D．Lifelong Friendship. |
