That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring    at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was    learning my lines. I was having trouble    my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously    giving up both acting and San Francisco.    had become too much for me.
As I walked down    streets under tall buildings, I felt very    and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned   , half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty.    I saw was a shining streetlight.   , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run fast. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
  I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to    I’d heard the noise.    I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about    the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice    from the inside. “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an     look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked,    a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I    get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I    had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place    people were willing to help each other.

试题分析：在一个失意的夜晚作者独自回家，工作及生活的不顺使作者心情沮丧，甚至于考虑要放弃在旧金山这个大都市的生活。然而随后发生的钱包失而复得的事情却让作者感受到了人们之间的温暖，也感受到了世界的美好，内心又充满了对城市生活的希望。
小题1:C名词辨析。A. 练习，锻炼；B. 工作；C. 实习，训练D. 培训。从下文With opening night only a week away,可知作者在剧院排练，practice强调提高技巧的训练，而exercise强调习题，所以答案选C。
小题2:A副词辨析。A.仍然；B已经；C. 然而；D仅仅。从前句内容可知离首映只有几周时间了，作者台词还没记住，所以用still“仍然”表示作者无奈和沮丧的心情。
小题3:D动词短语辨析。固定短语have trouble doing sth “做某事有困难”，故排除A、D选项。 deal with“处理；对付”，而handle是及物动词，不和介词连用，所以答案选D。
小题4:B介词辨析。Think of “想起，认为”；think about “考虑”； think over“仔细考虑”；think out“想出”。从语境可知作者在想放弃，所以用think about，故答案选B。
小题5:A名词辨析。A. 城市生活；B. 乡村生活；C学校生活；D现代生活。由文章末段….had gotten back some enjoyment of city life可以判断作者打算放弃都市生活，所以A选项正确。
小题6:D形容词辨析。A.忙碌的，繁忙的；B. 拥挤的；C吵闹的；D. 空寂的，空的。根据下文The street was empty，可以判断D选项正确。
小题7:C形容词辨析。A.骄傲的；B. 自信的；C.小的；D. 激动的。从文章叙述可知此时作者心情沮丧，在空荡荡的大街上，自然会感到自己的渺小，无助。所以C选项正确。
小题8:D副词辨析。A. 快；B.立即；C. 迅速地；D. 迅速地。fast强调运动着的物体速度快，而quickly指动作的迅速发生；rapidly强调短期内发生，由语境可知作者听到声音后是迅速转身去看，所以应该用quickly，故D选项正确。
小题9:B代词辨析。从结构可以判断此句缺少主语，I saw是省略关系代词的定语从句， all 后面不能用which引导的定语从句；而that 和which 前没有先行词，由此判断B选项正确，
小题10:B副词辨析。A. 因此； B.仍然；C因此；D随后，后来。根据上下文可知尽管作者回头没看到想象的坏人，可是声音还是让他紧张害怕，所以B选项正确。
小题11:A副词辨析。A. 突然；B. 逐渐地；C. 绝对地；D.确切地。从上文可知作者身心疲倦，而看到钱包丢了的时候，立即跑回大街上去找，所以用suddenly表示状况的迅速转变，故答案选A。
小题12:C连词辨析。根据语法可知此处是to后面跟宾语从句，从句意思完整，不缺少成分，所以用where做地点状语。故C为正确选项。
小题13:B连词辨析。A.即使；B. 虽然；C. 仿佛；D. 仿佛，好像。从上下文可知此处是转折关系，尽管我找了15分钟，我的钱包还是没有找到，而even if 含有假设的意味，所以B选项正确。
小题14:C动词短语辨析。give in 让步；give up放弃。固定短语be about to do “正要做某事”，根据语境可知作者找不到钱包，正打算放弃，所以答案选C。
小题15:A考查非谓语。从结构可知此处是when引导的状语从句，从句缺少谓语动词，而且和句子主语是主动关系，所以A为正确选项。
小题16:D形容词辨析。A. 滑稽可笑的；B. 令人惊讶的；C感到惊讶的；D.逗乐的，觉得好笑的。从语境可知开车的人看着作者的惊讶，觉得很好笑，所以D选项正确。
小题17:B动词短语辨析。hold up 举起； hold on 坚持。从语境可知此时开车人一边问，一边举着钱包，而由语法结构判断只有现在分词短语可以表示伴随状况，再根据词意可知B选项正确。
小题18:B动词辨析。从上文可知作者找到钱包时已经是凌晨三点了，此处指作者没有多长的休息时间了，故用过去将来时态，所以B选项正确。
小题19:C副词辨析。A. 仍然；B. 已经；C也；D. 当然。根据上文可知陌生人把捡到的钱包还给了作者，由此推断作者内心应该是感激的、开心的，所以作者不但找回了钱包，而且也找回了城市生活的快乐，所以答案选C。
小题20:D短语辨析。A. 远至，据；B.和。。。一样好C.一。。。就；D. 只要。根据语境可知作者认为如果人们彼此帮助，城市也不是冷漠无情的，而是一个很好的居住地，所以判断D为正确选项。
举一反三
Rachel Carson, born in rural Pennsylvania in 1907, had a great impact on the environment. Carson earned a master’s degree in zoology in 1932. It was as a writer and not as a research scientist, however, that she made her mark, sharing her view that human beings are just one element in a larger natural order.
In the articles on natural history Carson wrote for various publications, she expressed dry facts in poetic and persuasive language. She wrote five books. Two of them, The Sea Around Us and The Edge of the Sea, have been called “biographies of the ocean.”
Carson also made the world aware of how scientific discoveries can harm as well as help living things. In her best-selling book Silent Spring, Carson challenged the profligate use of chemical pesticides by large agricultural and government organizations. She was the first to detail how the pesticide DDT had entered the food chain and damaged populations of bald eagles, falcons, and brown pelicans by causing the shells of their eggs to become so thin that they could not withstand the weight of the parent bird.
Carson died of cancer in 1964. Today, the Rachel Carson Council collects and disseminates (散播) information on pesticide-related issues. In 1970, the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, a large area of salt marsh and freshwater habitat in Maine, was dedicated to her memory.
小题1:Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3 ?
A．excessiveB．inadequateC．authoritativeD．efficient
小题2:Which of the following inferences is correct ?
A．Carson wrote books that the average person could understand.
B．Dangerous properties of new chemical products may be immediately apparent.
C．If not for Carson, no one would have learned about the dangers of DDT.
D．In 1970, large quantities of salt and freshwater were dedicated to Carson’s memory by the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge
小题3:Which of the statements below expresses the main idea of the passage ?
A．Writers have played an important role in the battle against pollution.
B．The scientist Rachel Carson taught people about environmental issues through her writing.
C．Carson’s book Silent Spring changed the way some pesticides were used.
D．Many of Carson’s books were about pesticide-related issues.

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The kindness of strangers.B．Valuable friendship .
C．Two special experiences .D．Helping others is worthwhile
小题2:Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?

小题3:The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.
A．being hurt by the wallB．winning the game

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn"t work out, you"ll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. 
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, “I don"t know how to use a computer,” she admits. 
Unlike her 1995 autobiography(自传), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn"t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we"re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.” 
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. 
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, "why me?" about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn"t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I"ve come to realize the importance of that as I"ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
小题1:Why did Mary feel regretful? 
A．She didn"t achieve her ambition.
B．She didn"t take care of her mother.
C．She didn"t complete her high school.
D．She didn"t follow her mother"s advice.
小题2:We can know that before 1995, Mary __________.
A．had two books published
B．received many career awards
C．knew how to use a computer
D．supported the JDRF by writing
小题3:Mary"s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her__________ . 
A．living with diabetesB．successful show business
C．service for an organizationD．remembrance of her mother
小题4:When Mary received the life-changing news, she_____________ . 
A．lost control of herself B．began a balanced diet
C．tried to get a treatment D．behaved in an adult way
小题5:What can we know from the last paragraph? 
A．Mary feels pity for herself.
B．Mary has recovered from her disease.
C．Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D．Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

“Grandmother made this?” I said,       . My grandmother was a        at making quilts. This didn"t certainly look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home last year and made some       ,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is        I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth        those words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn"t get all line       . But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, mom,” I said. It        to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was        her own mother. I realized I held in my hands a family       . It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another,        two generations.
