If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would 36 :surfing. But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people 37 .Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and 38 in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first 39 was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to 40 surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my ___41_ ,there’s nothing like it. It involves body, 42 ,and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 43 us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that 44 ,becoming one with the 45 ,is like I’m weightless.
The one thing I can 46 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean 47 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and 48 .All of these things attract me to surfing and make it 49 from any other sport.
I’ve 50 to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new 51 ,so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start 52 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate?
There’re women 53 side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys 54 the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to __55 , and they will.

解析
本文是关于女孩子参加冲浪运动而引起的，作者认为女性也要多参加男性统治的运动。
小题1:B 前后照应逻辑推理词义比较:如果你询问高中的女生们她们最喜欢的体育运动的名字，她们不是告诉（tell），给予（give），意识到（realize），而是回答（answer）你询问的问题。
小题2:A 常识运用逻辑推理词义比较:先看语境：前一句的意思是"但是它难道不是男孩子的事情吗?（意思是：这是男孩子的事情。）"；后一句的意思是"大多数人当然不……"，由社会的实际情况和这两句的意思可以判断出，只是有一部分人（不太多）对此问题（前一句）不理解（understand），不相信（believe），不能作出回答（reply），而纳闷、惊奇（wonder），持怀疑态度，而大多数人却肯定地认为：冲浪运动是男孩子的事情。
小题3:D 固定搭配：fall／be in love with…爱上……，是固定结构，其它选项没有这种搭配形式。
小题4:A 常识运用：因为文章是在谈论冲浪运动，冲上第一个浪（wave）去是我经历过的最佳感受，而不是暴风雨（storm）、航海（sail）或船（boat）。
小题5:C 固定搭配 词义比较：作者想把冲浪运动和其他运动进行比较（compare）。connect with连接，联络，将……连起来；compare with与……比较；tie up with和……联系一起；bring带来，引起，通常不与with连用。
小题6:D 逻辑推理 常识运用：作者把冲浪运动当作了它的生活（life）的组成部分，她不仅仅只是在假期（holiday）里冲浪，当然工作（work）和学习（study）也不能耽误。in my life是"在我的生活中"。
小题7:A 常识运用 词义比较：冲浪运动涉及到身体，智力、智慧（mind）和心灵、精神诸方面，这三个方面共同组成人的身心发展因素。
小题8:C 常识运用 逻辑推理：在海洋里进行冲浪运动，身体的沿线（along），上面（above），旁边（by），而且身体的四周（around）都是凉爽的咸水。
小题9:B 常识运用 逻辑推理：冲浪运动可能要经过沙滩（beach），有可能是在湖（lake）里，但它主要还是脚踏冲浪板（board）在水（water）面上进行。
小题10:D 常识运用逻辑推理：冲浪运动是在大海、大洋中进行的，就有和海洋（ocean）融为一体的感觉。
小题11:B 动词辨析。这里是指我从冲浪中得到的感觉是无尽的挑战。
小题12:C 动词辨析。这里是指大海会给你数不清的各种各样的浪，没有人能够真正的掌握，所以你不可能成为最好的冲浪选手。所以才说冲浪给我带来了无尽的挑战。
小题13:A 形容词辨析。这里要填的形容词与aggressive有侵略性是近义词，故sharp正确。
小题14:D 固定词组。Be different from…与…不同；根据句意可知是指冲浪与其他的运动项目不一样。
小题15:B 动词辨析。这里是指try to do sth努力做某事。我努力的告诉女孩子去做那些别人认为她们不能做的事情。
小题16:A 名词辨析。A水平；B要点，意义；C步骤；D部分；指人们可以发展到一个新的水平之上。
小题17:C 动词辨析。这里是指女性要努力的推进那些男性统治的限制。
小题18:D 动词辨析。这里是指在总统身边都有女性在工作，那么为什么在足球队里踢球的男孩子身边就不能有女孩子呢？
小题19:C 介词辨析。在球队中用介词on.
小题20:B 动词辨析。A考虑；B成功；C表演；D感觉；这里指给女孩子成功的机会。 |
举一反三
Having lived in the house for so long, we found our kitchen looked old. We decided it was time to 1 the kitchen, and my husband and I were discussing 2 colors. The children, sitting nearby, suddenly all spoke together: “Not the measuring stick.”
“No,” I 3 them. “Not the measuring stick..”
The measuring stick isn’t a (an) 4 stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and dining room. Along the edge we’ve 5 each child’s growth by making a mark showing his or her 6 on every birthday.

Names and dates show different 7 , and I can tell by the script(手迹) who measured whom. An eight-year-old measured her three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my husband measured me. At the parties, when this door 8 back and forth frequently, friends stop to 9 the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to be always remembered, they usually smile 10 and go back right up into place, 11 to be measured.
Many of those listed on the door are still 12 ; some have stopped. Some remain with us only in 13 . When my mother came to see my eldest daughter graduate from university, we measured her too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven’t 14 the new kitchen color plan yet, but one thing is certain: whatever color we choose, the back of the kitchen door will always remain 15 , with lots of names and dates in various colors.

When I wandered along a path through woods in the countryside, a small water pool came into my sight ahead. I changed my direction and took the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud to go around it. When I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked by something several times! It was from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt. The attacker stopped attacking me when I backed up a foot. I couldn’t help laughing when I looked down and found I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Curiously, I took a step forward to see clearly. My attacker dashed towards me again. He rushed towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but failed. For a second time, I took a stop backwards when the attacker paused. I didn’t know what to do. After all, it’s just uncommon that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why the attacker was kept charging me. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting tenderly close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could do nothing but admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had attacked me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was much larger than he. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. I shouldn’t have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates’ safety seemed admirable. I was moved and rewarded him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool, leaving them undisturbed. He had truly earned those moments to be with his dear mate.
Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
小题1:Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?| A．To get close to a butterfly. | | B．To avoid getting his shoes dirty. | | C．To escape a sudden attack. | | D．To look over the bad situation. |
小题2:What made the man feel funny?| A．Making the attacker pause. | | B．Being stepped on by his mate. | | C．Being attacked by a butterfly. | | D．Discovering the energetic butterfly. |
小题3:From this experience the man learned _____.| A．people should protect butterflies | | B．how he should deal with attacks | | C．people should show sympathy to the weak | | D．what he should do when faced with trouble |
小题4:Which of the following word can best describe the butterfly?| A．Brave | B．Amusing. | C．Careless. | D．Strong. |

One day a mime(哑剧演员) is visiting the zoo and wants to make some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper drags him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep all as he likes, play and make fun of the people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — the job he likes but loses.
However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience(观众), he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lion’s cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is afuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a pay raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime’s pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified(吓坏). He starts screaming, “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”

HOLLYWOOD(UPI)—Loni Anderson decided last year it was time to change her career around to play moms and comedy instead of pretty young girls.
So far, most people remember her as Jennifer Marlowe, the role she played in her first film in 1982.
This summer people will see Anderson in A Night as Roxbury, a film produced and directed by Amy Heckerlin.
“In the film I have two sons. One is 26, and the other is 30. Isn’t that interesting? I know I don’t look that old, but that’s what’s so fun about it.”
“My character dresses in clothes too short, too tight. Dan Hedaya plays my husband. We’re a couple with a lot of money and no taste. Our sons are complete idiots(白痴). Their purpose in life is to get into the Rich Young Man Club where everybody is proud of his wealth.”
“As you can tell, I’m doing things I’d never have done at the beginning of my career.”
“But I am who I am. I’ve worked as an actress a long time and now I can be anything I want. It’s a great time for me. I don’t have anything to prove.”
“I hadn’t done comedy in a long time. It’s what I do best and what I like best. At this point in my life I want to look a little bit foolish. I think that would be something new for me.”

A man and his family were in Europe. Once they needed to drive 3 days 36, day and night, to get to Germany. His little daughter had never 37 at night without a break before. She was 38 the first night in the car, with terrible deep darkness outside.
“Where are we going, Daddy?” asked the daughter. “To your uncle’s house in Germany.” Father answered.
“Have you been to his 39 before?” “No.”
“Then, do you know the 40 ?” “Maybe, we can read the map.”
Short pause. “Do you know how to read the map?” “Yes, we will get there 41 . Don’t worry.”
The same dialogue 42 a few times within the first night, and also the second night. 43 on the third night, his daughter was quiet. Father thought that she might have fallen 44 , but when he looked into the mirror, he saw that she was awake and was just 45 calmly. He couldn’t help wondering 46 she was not asking the questions anymore.
“Dear, do you know where we are going?” “Germany, uncle’s house.”
“ Do you know how we are getting there?” “No.”
“ Then why aren’t you asking anymore?” “Because Daddy is 47 .”
Because Daddy is driving. This answer from a 3 years old girl has then become the 48 and help this man for many years whenever he has questions and
49 on his journey. We may 50 the destination and sometimes we may just know it 51 the little girl-“Germany”, without understanding where or what it 52 is. We do not know the way. We do not know how to read the map. We do not know if we can find 53 along the way to eat in. But the little girl knows the most 54 thing-Daddy is driving-and so she is safe and secure. She knows that her Daddy will 55 all that she needs.
