试题分析：本文讲述了Ellen号船长根据一只小鸟的异常表现而保持航线，最后在漆黑夜里的海上，救了海里沉船事故中的辛存者的故事。
小题1:考查名词。Land陆地；grass草；hope希望；wood木头。Hold on to意思是“紧紧地抓住”。通读全文可知现在这些人是在茫茫大海里，他们必须抱住能找到的任何一块木头，以帮助自己逃生。故选D。
小题2:考查名词。Food食物；help帮助；rest休息；stop停止。根据句意：他们向“玛丽号”船求救。联系上下文可知the Marie是船的名字。故选B。
小题3:考查介词。Off离开；out向外；beyond超过；from从...。根据句意：人们向“玛丽号”求救，然而船上的人们根本听不到他们的呼救声。此处考查短语beyoud the reach of 意思是“在...的范围之外”。故选C。
小题4:考查名词。People人们；lights灯光；ships船；houses房子。根据下文another ship出现，根据常识可知漆黑的夜里能发现远处的船，是靠灯光。故选B。
小题5:考查名词。Sailors士兵；captains船长；rescuers救援者；swimmers游泳人。联系上下文可知，这些人的身份我们并不知道，只知道他们在水里，因此D项最合适。故选D。
小题6:考查名词。Name名字；owner拥有者；captain船长；finder发现者。the Ellen是船的名字，因此此处应用name。故选A。
小题7:考查词组。ahead of time提前；at times有时；on time按时；in time及时。根据句意：及时赶到现场，挽救了他们生命的船的名字是Ellen。故选D。
小题8:考查动词。Brought带来；carried搬运；kept保持；caused引起。根据句意：是什么把她带到这个地点的？故选A。
小题9:考查介词。In在...里；on在...上面；through通过；around在...周围。根据句意：穿过黑夜和茫茫大海。故选C。
小题10:考查指示代词。Everything每件事；nothing没有事；something一些事；anything任何事。根据空后的“had, indeed, _____ (attempted) to sail away from it”及下一段，我们可以知道，船长对此事一无所知。故选B。
小题11:考查动词。Attempted试图；managed管理；allowed允许；demanded需求。根据上下文可知因为他不知道这里发生了沉船事故，因此他曾“试图”把船开走。故选A。
小题12:考查词组。Just as正当的时候；In case以防；Only because只因；Even though尽管。根据句意：正当我因大风被迫要改变航线时，一只小鸟一次或两次的飞过船，然后飞到我面前。由此可知此处引导时间状语，只有A合适。故选A。
小题13:考查词组。paid no attention不重视；took good care珍重；took no notice不注意；kept close watch密切注视。根据句意：我根本就没有注意到这一次直到完全相同的事情再次发生。 pay attention后搭配的介词应该是to。故选C。
小题14:考查代词。Which那一个；what什么；that那个；this这个。引导从句，D排除。代词在句中作主语，B排除。此处是非限制性定语从句，故用which。故选A。
小题15:考查形容词。Interesting有趣的；funny好笑的；friendly有好的；unusual不寻常的。联系上下文“不寻常”更符合语境。故选D。
小题16:考查动名词。Searching搜索；expecting期待；considering考虑到；studying研究。considering在此处相当于thinking。指船长认为鸟的举动有些异常。故选C。
小题17:考查副词。Back向后地；about到处；up向上；down向下。fly about 意思是“到处飞”。故选B。
小题18:考查动词。Forced被迫；decided决定；persuaded说服；forbidden禁止。联系上下文可知船长在这里说“鸟的异常举动劝服我改变了主意”。故选C。
小题19:考查连词。When当...时候；until直到...时候才；then然后；while与此同时。when引导的句子的谓语部分可以是短暂性的也可以是持续性的动词或结构。while 引导的句子的谓语部分必须是可以延续的动词或结构。until肯定形式表示的意思是“做某事直至某时”，动词必须是延续性的，否定形式表达的意思是“直至某时才做某事”，动词为延续性或非延续性都可以根据句意：当我听到奇怪的声音时，我离得并不远。故选A。
小题20:考查词组。listen to听；search for搜索；make sure确信；look out当心。因为是黑夜，在茫茫大海上，船长一时辨不清声音来自何方，因此他首先确定声音的位置。故选C。
举一反三
I felt tense and shaking. I drew my violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains passing overhead, that I was about to prove myself.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, and then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in tune. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all.
I walked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually knowing how to try and get money by being a street artist. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money — the sight could discourage the people; nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse them, giving them no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a good idea. Before I played another tune, I took off the big money, but always left two pennies behind.
Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls, and typists. As for the men: Heavy drinkers were always generous too and so were big young with muscles. But never a man with a hat, briefcase or dog; respectable types were the meanest of all, except retired army officers, who would bark “Why aren’t you working, young man?” and then threw much money into the hat to hide their confusion.
小题1:The underlined phrase “have a go” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
| A．have a try | B．run away |
| C．change a place | D．commit a crime |
| A．he could make a lot of money | B．he had chosen the wrong place |
| C．he would get into trouble | D．people would stop and listen to him |
| A．let the hat fill up with money first |
| B．leave a small amount of money in the hat |
| C．make sure that the hat was always empty |
| D．choose the best place to play more smooth tunes |
| A．Most of the ladies were willing to give him money. |
| B．Retired army officers seldom gave him money. |
| C．Drinkers were generous with their money. |
| D．Not all the people would feel pity for street-violinists. |

I’d been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tyre. So I had to and get the tools to fix the problem. It certainly wasn’t doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled up beside me. A man got out and offered to me. Seeing tattoos (纹身) on his arm, I became as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But I could say anything, he had already begun to take the tools to change the . While watching him, I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This me.
Then, without warning, it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, I unwillingly agreed. When I settled into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. I replied with much when seeing an old woman there. It must be his mother, I thought. To my surprise, the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you the tyre.” “I am grateful for his help,” I said. “Me too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he at the church and taught disadvantaged students for free.
Finally, Jeff helped me change the tyre. I tried to offer him money and of course he refused it. As we shook hands to say goodbye I apologized for my stupid at the first sight of him, and this incident warned us that we shouldn’t judge people by the way they .

The younger daughter of former New York Mayor Richard White has moved her wedding from New Year’s Eve to this Thursday so her mother, who has been fighting against cancer for 11 years, can take part in the ceremony, a family spokesman said on Wednesday, Oct, 12, 2013. Elizabeth Lally White, who turns 28 on Thursday, will marry Sam Peterson in Spiaggia, a restaurant on North Michigan Avenue. The reception also will be held at the restaurant, which had been previously scheduled to host the couple’s engagement party on Thursday.
Lally White’s mother, Maggie, 68, was reported to have caught breast cancer in 2002. She had an operation in her leg in April and she was hospitalized twice in the weeks following the procedure for treatment of flu-like symptoms that doctors said were not related to the cancer. Maggie, who has used a walker or a wheelchair during most public appearances in recent years, is well beyond the average survival time for someone with breast cancer.
“As the mayor himself has said, she had a pretty difficult summer.” said Jacquelyn Heard, who served Mayor White’s press secretary for years and followed him to the same international law firm that he joined after leaving office in May. “She was not able to get around the way that she normally would do. This year, she has had quite a few setbacks and they’ve been pretty well documented. Lally White decided to reschedule the wedding so that her mom can participate in the festivities (庆祝活动).” Heard said. Lally White is a doctoral candidate at De-Paul University and plans to work with autistic (孤独症) children, and Sam Peterson works in insurance, Heard said.
Richard and Maggie White married in 1972 and had three children in addition to Lally — Nora, Patrick and Kevin. But Kevin was born with a disease and died in 1981 at 33 months.

| A．Maggie, 68, is recovering now. |
| B．Maggie caught breast cancer in 2002. |
| C．The cancer caused some flu-like symptoms on Maggie. |
| D．Average breast cancer patients lived a life shorter than Maggie. |
| A．She was afraid that her mother couldn’t participate her wedding on New Year’s Eve. |
| B．She was eager to work with autistic children after wedding. |
| C．Her family will move out of New York. |
| D．Her mother will accept operation because of her disease. |

Near the North Pole
Christmas, 1925
My dear boys,
I am dreadfully busy this year一it makes my hand more shaky than ever when I think of it一and not very rich; in fact awful things have been happening, and some of the presents have got spoilt, and I haven"t got the North Polar Bear to help me, and I have had to move house just before Christmas, so you can imagine what a state everything is in, and you will see why I have a new address, and why I can only write one letter between you both．
|K] It all happened like this: one very windy day last November my hood blew off and went and stuck on the top of the North Pole. I told him not to, but the North Polar Bear climbed up to the thin top to get it down一and he did. The pole broke in the middle and fell on the roof of my house, and the North Polar Bear fell through the hole it made into the dining room with my hood over his nose, and all the snow fell off the roof into the house and melted and put out all the fires and ran down into the cellars where I was collecting this year"s presents, and the North Polar
Bear"s leg got broken.
He is well again now, but I was so cross with him that he says he won"t try to help me again一I expect his temper is hurt, and will be mended by next Christmas.
I send you a picture of the accident and of my new house on the cliffs above the North Pole(with beautiful cellars in the cliffs).
That"s all. Good Bye！
