小题5:C |
解析
小题1:本文的第二行有一句I’m going to fly to New York next week because I’ve got some work there.意思为我要坐飞机去纽约，因为我在哪儿有一些事要去做，故本题选B。
小题2:本文第三行有一句Please send me your address from there in a telegram (电报),意思为请在电报中把你所在的地址寄给我，所以迪克的妻子想要他的电报是想知道他工作的地方，故本题选A.
小题3:本文第二段第一句提到他去了纽约到达城市中心的一个漂亮的旅馆，故本题选B。
小题4:根据文章意思可知，迪克晚上出去，把地址忘记在家里，所以无法回答他所在的旅馆，于是又给他的妻子发了一个电报，要求他的妻子把原先发的电报发回来，所以是迪克的妻子把旅馆的地址和名字寄给他，故本题选D。
小题5:本文第二段第二行提到迪克到达旅馆，就把旅馆的地址通过电报发给他的妻子，故本题描述不正确的为C，故本题选C。 |

I worked in a 37 doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run 38 than usual. It seemed I was going to be late 39 home and my husband, being the 40 person, would be ready to pronounce me late once again. Maybe 41 I hurried, I could still make it home.
I was heading inside to 42 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for 43 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just 44 a few minutes ago.

A look of 49 crossed the woman’s face.
“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a(an) 50 since I had just made up my mind to do 51 that.
I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right 52 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to 53 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.
Later, as I arrived home, my husband 54 , “So you aren’t ever late any more.”
I said, “Sometimes it’s 55 to be late.”

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident （进修医生） drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion．
The answer, I concluded, was 37 ．When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon”-- then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon．I was 40 that point．
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night．The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone．I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 ．Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I"d have trouble getting back to sleep．I"d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision．More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself．It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax．
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem．Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon．I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I"d made was bound to be a 53 one．It was a nice feeling．
This all sounds conceited （自负的） and I guess it is -- 54 a surgeon needs conceit．He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he"s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine．He has to feel that he"s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world．Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it．
| 小题2: | | A．self-service | B．self-centered | C．self-reliant | D．self-confidence |
|
| 小题3: | | A．as good as | B．as well as | C．as far as | D．as long as |

Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look every strong and fast. __41__ one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.
Some sportsmen can reach great goals__42_ the achievement of an Olympic gold medal while others__43__live up to their promise. What kind of __44_ before a race or other event makes the __45__?
Everyone knows that sportsmen work out to strengthen（加强） their __46_. But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as __47__. Careful study shows that the best sportsmen win __48__ because they think they can win.
Thinking positive(乐观的) thoughts seems to give possibility for __49__ in sports. People who say to themselves over and over, “I know I can do this,” often find they have the __50__ to win. On the other hand, people who think “I can’t win” often __51__.
One procedure（步骤）that helps many sportsmen is creating __52__ in the mind. They are told to think of each __53__ they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to __54__ a star bursting inside her, __55__ her with energy. Another sportsman who wanted to feel __56__ pictured himself as a __57__ floating(漂浮) in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your __58__ to help you. Perhaps a teacher or other instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see __59__ in what you __60__ can do. Positive thinking and picture created in your mind can help you win!

Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn"t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked
out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its m ental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It"s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can"t talk back. Still, it wouldn"t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
小题1: From paragraph 2 we know that __ .| A．animals are as clever as human beings | | B．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills | | C．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees | | D．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children |
小题2:Both experiments show that .| A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right | | B．Rico can recognize different things including toys | | C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics | | D．Rico won"t forget the names of objects once recognizing them |
小题3: Which of the following statements is true?| A．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. | | B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie"s mental abilities. | | C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. | | D．Rico is born to understand its owner"s commands. |
小题4:What does the writer want to tell us?| A．To train your dog. | B．To talk to your dog. | | C．To be careful with your dog. | D．To be friendly to your dog. |

My goddaughter, Shari, owns The Berry Factory in Sacramento, California, and her mother, Joan, and I were helping with the Valentine’s Day rush. We’d dipped hundreds of berries, arranged gift baskets and packaged orders to be 36 around the country.
By the end of the day, the two middle-aged women, Joan and I, were exhausted. But Shari didn’t seem tired. That was 37 Shari. 38 she was very busy, I’d seen her give away berries to everyone—parking attendants, mail carriers and hairdressers. “For me?” they would say, bursting into 39 .
40 a“thank you”, Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-munite 41 at her favorite restaurant. “No big 42 . There’s an other place just up the road,” she said, driving up there. This time we walked right 43 .
When th e waitress came to 44 our drink orders, Shari 45 into her handbag, pulling something out. “ I want you to have these,” she said, 46 the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries. “ She will love those berries!” I thought. 47 the waitress seemed very surprised instead. She only let out a “ thank you” 48 grabbing the box and rushing into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the waitress returned 49 our iced tea. “ I apologize,” she said. “ My best friend and I had 50 to send each other something every Valentine’s Day. But she 51 last year. I didn’t know how I’d 52 this day without her. Then you handed me that box.”
“ I’m so sorry to hear that,” said Shari. “ It’s not much, but I hope you can 53 them.”
“ Oh, I will,” the waitress said. “ See, every year we 54 sent each other the same thing: a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favorite store, The Berry 55 .”
