阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Five-year-old Marry loved to play in the street with her friends. This made her parents __41__. They did __42__ to keep her off the street. __43__, day after day they found her out there. Thankfully, the street wasn’t very __44__. But it was often traveled by soldiers and sometimes they would drive very fast.
Every time he drove by the lifeless animal that had __45__ in the road, Steven __46__ think of his daughter. And so he continued trying to teach her the __47__— with little __48__. Then one day as Steven was driving home, he saw something that helped __49__ an idea, which became an action by the time he got home. He walked over to where Marry was playing.
“Come on, sweetheart,” he said. “You and Daddy are going for a __50__.”
They drove back along the way he had just traveled, finally __51__ just behind a mound (堆) of something.
“What is it, Daddy?” Marry asked as they got out of the __52__.
“Look __53__, but don’t touch it,” Steven said. “Can’t you tell what it is?”
She studied it for a few minutes, unsure of its __54__ until she picked out its familiar ears. “A rabbit! What happened?” Marry asked.
“It was playing in the road, and a car came along and ...”
“... and squished (压扁) it?” Marry broke __55__.
“That’s right,” Steven said. “It got squished because it was playing in the road.”
“Yuck!” Marry said. For the first time, Steven saw __56__ in his daughter’s eyes.
The next evening, when Steven drove by a group of children playing in the street, he __57__ what Marry was shouting from the sidewalk.
“Come on, you guys! Stop playing in the street, __58__ you’ll get squished!”
So, if your message isn’t getting through to others, no matter how many times you __59__ it, you should try something __60__. This is Steven’s lesson.

试题分析：文章大意：Steven一再告诫孩子不要在街上玩，却不起作用，最后他让孩子亲眼见到了一只被碾压而死的兔子，收到了预期的效果。文章给我们的启示是：当一种方式行不通时，换种方法可能就会有意外的收获。
小题1:B 形容词辨析。A 失望的；B 担心的； C 羞愧的；D 困惑的。五岁的孩子喜欢在街上玩，所以家长应该是很担心。从语境判断B选项正确。
小题2:D不定代词的考查。A 某物，用于肯定句 B 没什么，否定意义；C 任何事物；D一切事物。为了孩子安全，家长应该是做了一切能做的事情让孩子远离街道。所以D选项正确。
小题3:B 副词辨析。A 因此；B 仍然； C 然后； D也。家长想尽办法，孩子仍然一天天的在街道上玩。所以从句意可知B选项正确。
小题4:D形容词辨析。A 扁的；B 脏的； C 宽的； D 繁忙的。所幸的是，街道不是很繁华。形容街道交通的繁忙，一般用busy，所以D选项正确。
小题5:A动词辨析。A 漫游，闲逛；B 禁止； C 竞争； D 聚集，收集。Steven 开车从一只已经没了生命气息的动物旁边经过，从常识可知这只动物应该是在街道上乱跑乱窜而被轧死的。所以A选项正确。
小题6:C 情态动词考查。A 可能； B 可能，能够； C 常常，总会，表示过去的习惯；D 需要。每次看到那些被车碾过的动物们，Steven总会想起他女儿。从语境C选项正确。
小题7:C 名词辨析。A 事故，意外； B经验，经历；C 教训，课；D练习，实践。看到被车轧死的小动物门，Steven继续试图让孩子接受这个教训。从语境判断C选项正确。
小题8:A 名词辨析。A成功； B 希望； C 同意，赞同；D 恐慌。Steven想让孩子接受这个教训，但是没有成功。所以从语境判断A为正确选项。
小题9:A 动词辨析。A 创造；B 发现； C 决定；D 造成，开车回家的路上，他看到了个东西这让他产生了一个想法。create an idea, 产生了一个想法。所以A选项正确。
小题10:B 考查短语搭配。A 散步go for a walk外出散步；B 骑车开车，go for a ride 开车兜风；C 谈话；D 参观，访问。从下文“They drove back along the way he had just traveled”可知Steven 是开车去的，所以B选项正确。
小题11:A 动词辨析。A 停止；B路过，传递；C 停留，保持；D 躲藏。他们开车顺着他走过的路，最后应该是停在某一堆东西前面。文章中是Steven有意让孩子看到这东西，所以A 正确。
小题12:B 名词辨析。A 公共汽车；B 小汽车；C 火车；D 船。从上文可知他们是开车去的，所以Marry一边从车里出来一边问。
小题13:C 副词辨析。A 安静地；B 难以置信地；C 密切地；D 稳步地。Steven让孩子仔细看，但是不要动它。watch closely仔细观察。所以C选项正确。
小题14:C 名词辨析。A 重量；B 颜色； C 身份； D 形状。孩子仔细查看，但是不能辨认出是什么东西，所以C选项正确。
小题15:B 短语搭配。A break out 爆发；B break in 插嘴；C break away 脱离，摆脱；D break through 突破。Steven 讲述兔子过马路时，来了一辆车，这时孩子是插嘴说话，所以B选项正确。
小题16:B名词辨析。A 高兴； B 理解，明白；C 生气，愤怒；D 后悔，遗憾。孩子看到这情形，听到这样的解释，心里自然明白了，眼里露出的应该是明白了然的神色，所以B选项正确。
小题17:C 动词辨析。A 意识到，实现；B 观看，注视； C 听到，听说；D 感觉到。Steven开车经过从街上玩的孩子们身边时，他听到了Marry 从人行道上的喊声。从文中的“shouting”判断C选项正确。
小题18:A 连词辨析。A 否则； B 并且；C 但是；D 然而。别在街上玩了，否则你们会被车碾压的。所以A 选项正确。
小题19:C 动词辨析。A 代表；B 反应；C 重复；D 恢复精力。不管你重复了多少次，你都应该尝试一些不同的做法。从文中可知Steven 告诫了他女儿好多次，所以应该是重复，故C选项正确。
小题20:D形容词辨析。A 滑稽可笑的；B简单的；C 容易的；D不同的。不管你重复了多少次，你都应该尝试一些不同的做法。文中Steven 反复告诫，后来就让孩子亲眼见到惨状，所以是换不同的做法，D选项正确。
举一反三
I know it is wrong to envy your children. But when I see my son, Tonio and his younger brother Sam going down a slide together, one’s arm around the other, I know I have missed something wonderful.
Not only did I never have a brother, but also I had no friendships like theirs. My sister was old enough to help take care of me, so she was more a mother than a playmate, and I was more a pest than a friend. A brother would have been wonderful, but it was not in the family planning.
Now I finally live with brothers, my sons, Tonio and Sam. I am watching them build the kind of relationship that I once dreamed about. They go to bed together. When one comes into our bed after a nightmare, my wife and I know that before morning his brother will follow.
Sam manages the world with more ease than his elder brother, whose frustrations often bring him to tears. With a sincere “Smile, Tonio,” Sam is the one who comforts him. Tonio, on the other hand, has stopped playing with boys at his age who don’t like playing with Sam. They are always backing each other up.
I don’t know what kind of relationship they will have when they grow up. Parents always want their children to have what they never could. I want them to have each other. So I imagine them going to the same college, marrying sisters and living on the same block.
That’s why I was so worried the day Tonio started kindergarten. I felt that I would lose something too. As we headed for school that morning, both boys seemed relaxed, as if neither had any idea that the day was going to be different, that starting then, Tonio would be leaving behind his brother, his best friend, his right arm.
Tonio’s first day was chaotic, with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers. Before any of us could say goodbye, Tonio disappeared with his new classmates. He turned to wave and then was gone. It was so sudden. Sam even didn’ t see him go. Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by statying out of the school, I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonio’s classroom, looking for a glimpse of Tonio. Sam spotted him first.
My wife and I didn’t head back home immediately, stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate. We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers. Sam was still quiet, so I asked him if he missed his brother already.
He didn’t answer. Instead he asked, “Daddy, is Tonio going to be gone forever?”
“No, Sammy,” I said, feeling happy about his sweet question. “Not forever, just until three o’clock.”
I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers. And I didn’t stop with them. We had another child, and for the third time in a row, it was a boy. It wasn’t long before his brothers climbed into the crib(婴儿床) to play with him. I am surrounded by brothers.
小题1:What makes the author envy his sons?
A．He has no friends like Sam and Tonio.
B．He has only one brother in his family.
C．He doesn’t enjoy brotherhood as they do.
D．He doesn’t have a good relation with his sister.
小题2:What does the underlined word “pest” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．a bad personB．an annoying person
C．a good companionD．a lovely brother
小题3:What can we learn about the two little brothers?
A．Tonio often encouraged Sam when Sam burst into tears.
B．The two brothers went to the same kindergarten.
C．Neither of the brothers played with other children.
D．They supported each other in different ways.
小题4:The author was worried the day Tonio started his kindergarten, because__________.
A．Tonio might not spend so much time with Sam
B．Tonio might not do well with his study
C．he was afraid he would lose Tonio forever.
D．he wanted Tonio to have what he didn’t have
小题5:On the first day of the kindergarten, __________.
A．Tonio had a nice day playing with his new classmates
B．Sam was very sad because Tonio was gone forever
C．Sam was allowed to have ice-cream with fingers as usual
D．the father felt happy when he sensed Sam’s love to Tonio
小题6:What does the title “Surrounded by Brothers” suggest?
A．The author experienced brotherly affection by raising his sons.
B．The author often plays with his sons whenever he has time.

The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat"s days were  31 . The doctor had said there wasn"t anything more that could be done, that he should take the Cat home and make him as  32 as possible.
The man put the Cat on his lap and 33  .The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear
  34 down the Man"s cheek and   35  on the Cat"s forehead. The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
" Why do you cry, Man?" the Cat asked. "Because you can"t   36 the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?" The Man  37 "yes".
"And where do you think I"ll be   38  I leave you?" the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. " 39 
your eyes, Man," the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
"What color are my eyes and fur?" the Cat asked. " Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown," the Man replied.
"And where is it that you most often   40  me?" asked the Cat. “I see you. . . on the kitchen window
  41  the birds …,on my favorite chair. . . on my desk lying on the papers I need. . . on the pillow next to my
  42 at night. " "Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes," said the Cat.
“Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my ‘toy’ .” he Man opened his eyes, then  43 over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to   44  himself                                                                                                                                                                                                    
for hours with it. ""Now take each end of the string in one hand," the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
"The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my   45 . Now bring the two ends together," the Cat said. The Man obeyed.
"You have made a continuous  46  ," said the cat. "Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?" The Man inspected the string and then   47  his head " no".
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the  48  , then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and  49 his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held in his hand.          
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was lovely and white…very different from his earlier   50 Cat and very much the same.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in (旁听生）   for another l8 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unmarried college graduate student, and she decided to, put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course. " My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers, She only gave in a few months later when my parents promised that would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I artlessly chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and ail of my working class parents" savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn"t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn"t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn"t all romantic. I didn"t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends" rooms, I returned coke bottles for the $ 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.
This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.

Which is safer --- staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working at the office? Surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very low．However, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home．
The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby．It is this that makes chemical accidents so newsworthy．Fortunately, they are extremely rare．The most famous ones happened at Texas City （1947）, Flixborough （1974）, Seveso （1976）, Pemex （1984） and Bhopal （1984）．
Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small．No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough．The worst accident of all was Bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed．The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552．The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal．
Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger．Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity．The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production  going during essential repairs．The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep．When the poisonous gas drifted over the town , local leaders were incapable of taking effective action．The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb．The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks．Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode．Had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died．
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Working at the office is safer than staying at home．
B．Travelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office．
C．Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry．
D．Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air．
小题2:Chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because       .
A．they are very rare
B．they often cause loss of life
C．they always occur in big cities
D．they arouse the interest of all the readers
小题3:According to the passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened in_________．
A．Texas city B．Flixborough
C．Seveso D．Mexico City
小题4:From the passage we know that “ammonium nitrate” is a kind of _____．
A．natural gas, which can easily catch fire
B．fertilizer, which can"t be stored in a great quantity
C．poisonous substance, which can"t be used in overcrowded areas
D．fuel, which is stored in large tanks
小题5:From the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _____．
A．to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry
B．the local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical industry
C．all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measures had been taken
D．natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe
