A large crowd of frogs were traveling through the forest but unluckily two of them fell into a deep pit. All the others 36 the pit .Seeing how 37 the pit was, they told the two frogs that they might be 38 dead .The two frogs 39 what the other frogs were saying and 40 to jump up out of the pit with all of their physical 41. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. In the end one of the frogs 42 trying , fell down and died. 43 , the second frog kept jumping as hard as she could despite the 44 remarks. Finally, with one giant leap, she 45 it out of the pit!
This amazing 46 was that the second frog was 47 and unable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they had been 48 her on the whole time they were yelling!
The story above 49 us two lessons: Firstly ,there is 50 of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is 51 can lift them up and help them make it through the day. Secondly, a negative word to someone who is down can be 52 it takes to kill them. The power of words is great. Facing others’ criticism or laughter, we should turn a deaf 53 to it and have a positive attitude. Thus we can reach our goals just as the second frog did .In one word, we need the 54 to guide us to the proper way , so as not to be blindly 55 by worldly opinion in difficult times.

解析
试题分析：本文是一则寓言故事，讲述了两只同样掉到深坑里的青蛙截然不同的命运。一只青蛙听从其他青蛙的建议而放弃努力死于坑中，另一只青蛙却因耳聋听不到其他青蛙消极的言论而成功脱险。故事给我们的启示是：言语有决定人生死的力量，当我们身处困境时，不要受外界消极言论的影响。
小题1:A 动词短语辨析。A 聚集，围拢；B 传播，四处走动；C 跳入；D 逃脱。从情理判断，如果一个人掉到坑里，其他人应该都围拢过来，所以A选项正确。句意：其他青蛙都围到坑边上。
小题2:D形容词辨析。A 危险的； B 宽的；C 狭窄的，狭隘的；D 深的，深深的。下文讲青蛙要从坑里往外跳，所以其他青蛙应该是看坑的深浅，所以用deep修饰 the pit 。正确选项是D。
小题3:D短语辨析。A 只要，和。。。一样长；B 和。。。一样好，除。。。外；C 一。。。就；D与。。。一样，简直是。从接下来的故事中其他青蛙劝这两只青蛙放弃跳出来的做法和他们的言辞可知坑应该很深，认为这两只青蛙跳不出来，所以掉坑里就和死了一样。故D选项正确。句意：当其他青蛙看到坑那么深的时候，他们告诉那两只青蛙他们简直就和死了一样，没希望逃出来了。
小题4:C动词辨析。A 困惑；B容忍；C 忽视，不理睬；D 误解。在下文中The other frogs kept telling them to stop.别的青蛙让他们别白费劲了，可是这两只青蛙却仍然努力往外跳，由此判断这两只青蛙是没有理会他们的建议，所以C选项正确。这两只青蛙不理会他们说的话继续拼着全身力气往外跳。
小题5:B动词辨析。A管理，设法做；B. 努力，尝试；C.同意；D.承诺。manage to do 强调成功做到了；而try to do 是努力去做，不一定成功。从语境判断此时青蛙是努力得往外跳，而不管成功与否。所以正确答案为B。
小题6:D名词辨析。A. 精力，能源；B. 权力，力量；C. 武装力量，外界的力；D.力气。从常识可知从深坑里往外跳需要的是体力，力气，所以D选项正确。句意：他们拼着全身力气往外跳。
小题7:B动词短语辨析。A.屈服，让步；B. 放弃；C. 用完，耗尽 D. 用完，耗尽。从上下文可知这两只青蛙使劲往外跳，可是听着别的青蛙的话，一只青蛙不再使劲了，所以应该是主动放弃了，故正确选项为B。
小题8:B 副词辨析。A. 因此；B. 然而；C. 此外；D. 但是。从上下文可知第一只青蛙因为听到别的青蛙的话而放弃了，但是第二只青蛙因为耳聋却继续往坑外跳，所以此处是转折关系。B选项正确。
小题9:C形容词辨析。A. 无辜的；B.积极活跃的；C. 消极的；D. 积极乐观的。从文中The other frogs kept telling them to stop.可知其他青蛙应该说的是消极的言语，所以C选项正确。
小题10:A动词辨析。A. 制作，使得 B.转向；C.离开；D. 工作。文中是指这只青蛙成功跳出深坑， make it 为固定短语，意思是成功做成某事。所以A选项正确。
小题11:D名词辨析。A理由，原因；B.结果；C.因素；D.事实。后面叙述的是第二只青蛙听不见别的青蛙的话而成功跳出深坑这件事，所以此处指的是这个让人惊讶的事实。故D选项正确。
小题12:A形容词辨析。A. 聋的；B. 聪明的；C. 残疾的；D. 有信心的。从and unable to hear what the others had been saying可判断这只青蛙是耳聋的，所以正确选项为A。
小题13:D动词辨析。A. 强迫；B. 保持，保存；C. 安慰；D. 欢呼，喝彩。从上下文可判断这只耳聋的青蛙一直是以为别的青蛙在为他们加油鼓劲，所以才成功跳了出来。cheer sb on 为某人加油，以喝彩声鼓励，故D为正确选项。
小题14:C动词辨析。A给予；B.告诉；C. 教；D. 显示，展示。从下文可判断得知此处是在讲故事给我们的启示，give sb a lesson 意思是“教授。。。课”；teach sb a lesson 意思是“给某人的教训”所以C选项正确。
小题15:B名词辨析A. 功能；B. 能力，力量；C.用法；D. 技能。从下文叙述的内容以及提示句The power of words is great.可判断得知此处是指语言有着决定人生死的力量。所以B选项正确。
小题16:A形容词辨析。A.情绪低落的；B.高兴的；激动的；C.可笑的；D.生气的。从故事内容可知青蛙是处于困境中所以情绪应该是消沉的，而且下文a negative word to someone who is down也提示给我们正确选项应该是A。
小题17:C 连接词辨析。A. 哪个 B. 那个；C.什么；D. 谁。从句子结构判断此处是个表语从句，从句中缺少take的宾语，句型为it take sth to do 。that在表语从句中不做成分；who表示人；which强调要有选择范围，所以正确选项为C。
小题18:D名词辨析。A. 方向，引导；B. 态度；C.面孔；D. 耳朵。从上下文可知，作者告诫我们：面对别人的批评和嘲笑，我们应该不加理睬，依然要保持乐观态度。turn a deaf ear to 意思是“对。。。充耳不闻”，所以D为正确选项。
小题19:B名词辨析。A. 支持；B.智慧；明智；C. 决心；D.知识。从上文可知面对困境，我们要保持自己的乐观态度，不要受别人批评嘲笑的影响，所以需要智慧去引导我们，故正确答案是B。
小题20:D动词辨析。A. 愚弄；B. 支持，支撑； C.反对； D. 引导。从上句we need …to guide us to the proper way判断此处应该是不要盲目地受世人观念的引导，所以D选项正确。 |

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence（玩世不恭）was 36 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met．37 ，I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to 38 an Ivy League（常春藤联盟）school.Billy did not 39 into the equality. We were in love nevertheless-that 40 teenage love．I still remember we had a plan for prom（舞会）．It was understood that we had 41 about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents-panic．And it grew as the 42 letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to，nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college 43 in historic Providence，Rhode Island．
There was no 44 that I was drawn to Brown，but Billy (who had joined the army）was 45 down south and I had offers 46 for me there，too. I was torn between my love for him and my family 47 ．
One week 48 the start of school，my mother had a talk with me．She said I was eighteen years old and I had a 49 to make---one that went 50 beyond the choice of 51 to attend university.
In August，I 52 and drove north to Providence．It took several months to 53 that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy"s，Brown changed my life，opening doors and giving me the 54 I now use to think，to learn and to write. Life is always about 55 it seems，and the older I get，the more I understand this. Still，there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love．

Once on a dark winter"s day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night，an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.
Sara Crewe leaned against her father，who held her in his arms，as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father，Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun，and then in the middle of the ocean，and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets.
“Papa，” she said in a low，mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper.
“What is it，darling?”Captain Crewe answered，holding her closer and looking down into her face．
"Is this the place？＂Sara whispered.
"Yes，little Sara，it is. We have reached it at last.”
It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place”，as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born，so she had never known or missed her.Her young，handsome，rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world．
During her short life only one thing had troubled her，and that thing was "the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children，and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.
"Couldn"t you go to that place with me，Papa？＂she had asked when she was five years old．
"Couldn"t you go to school，too？ I would help you with your lessons.”
"But you will not have to stay for a very long time，little Sara，”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”
She had liked to think of that．She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world，and if one must go away to "the place” in England to attain it，she must make up her mind to go．She liked books more than anything else，and was，in fact，always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.
Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big，dull square in which stood the house which was their destination．
小题1:The story happened_______．| A．on a moonless night | B．on a foggy day | | C．on a hot day | D．on a starry night |
小题2:Sara Crewe came to England to_______| A．visit her relatives | B．see her mother"s house | | C．receive education | D．buy books for her father |
小题3:We can learn from the story that Sara Crewe was_______．| A．sceptical | B．curious | C．cheerful | D．imaginative |

Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is，not surprisingly，his sense of humor. As far as I can tell，he"s the first American President to have one．
That"s because the term“sense of humor” really wasn"t in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies．In the eighteen-forties and fifties，it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn"t have the positive connotations（隐含意义）that“sense of humor" has today. Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（讥笑）．Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand．Of course，they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well．
Lincoln’s humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually "humor＂as what the word meant in his time. We don"t make the distinction between "wit（风趣）”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did．Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic．It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“laughing at．”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at．”And when“laughing at，”it was often himself he was teasing.
In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were two-faced，would I be showing you this one？”And，in a way，Lincoln"s face itself tells us much about his sense of humor．
You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincoln"s time and not find a single smile．
True, the long exposures（曝光）required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult．Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.
Interestingly, while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered problem. And that was the case for Lincoln．A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes，anecdotes，and stories．”
小题1:We can infer from Paragraph 2 that＿＿| A．the American President could influence the use of English | | B．the term "sense of humor”wasn"t invented until the 1860s | | C．what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else | | D．the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time |
小题2:The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to＿＿．| A．Lincoln"s unattractive face | | B．Lincoln"s sense of humor | | C．the debate they were having | | D．cruelty that went with funniness |
小题3:We rarely see people from Lincoln"s time wear smile in their photos because＿．| A．being humorous was considered inappropriate | | B．they found it quite funny to smile before camera | | C．not smiling for photographs was the fashion | | D．photography technology then was not advanced |
小题4:What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates？| A．His comment accurately reflected his time | | B．He created a false picture of Lincoln | | C．He was prejudiced and self-centered | | D．He was brave to point out Lincoln"s weakness |

“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters.
“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”
Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.
“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷扬机), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said.
小题1:Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.| A．panicked but optimistic | B．nervous and hopeless | | C．upset and regretful | D．frightened but calm |
小题2:Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?| A．Sandwiches | B．Running water | | C．Chocolates | D．Staying up in a tree |
小题3:What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?
a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.
b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.
c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.
d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.
e. Gaddy found himself in a crocodile-infested area.| A．a d e c b | B． d a e b c | C．a d e b c | D．d e a b c |
小题4:The article can be classified as _________.| A．a news story | B．a scientific fiction | | C．a personal essay | D．a literary report |
