Back in 2007, I rented(租) a room in Johor Bahru, Malaysia while studying for my Masters programmed(硕士课程) in Singapore. I travelled daily by   36  across the Johor- Singapore Causeway(穿越湿地的堤道) for my   37 , which were usually in the evening. It was quite   38 
by the time I got back to the bus station in Johor Bahru, and I would still need to take another bus home.
One night, I   39  the last bus and didn’t have enough money to take a taxi. With no other choice, I decided to    40  the two-kilometer journey home, which would have been fine    41 
I were not so tired that day. It also didn’t    42  that the route was pretty rough(凹凸不平的)and dark. But I walked forward with   43  , with the promise of a night’s rest    44  me on. After walking for a few minutes, a car   45  in front of me. The driver, who looked   46 , asked where I was headed. “Not many people walk through here,” he said, and   47   me a ride. He really    48  me up as he went out of his way to get me to my apartment.
What was more   49  , however, was the story behind it. During the ride, the driver told me that when he saw me walking, it made him think of his   50  who used to walk to work by the
  51  road and though he often saw his uncle on the way, he had    52  offered a ride as he was headed in a different direction.    53  his uncle passed away because of an illness, and until today he still feels   54  for not being kinder to his uncle. So when he    55  me walking that night, he just had to stop and help.

解析
一个漆黑的夜晚,作者独自行走在崎岖不平的小路上。正走着,一辆车停了下来……
小题1:A 由下文的bus station,take another bus可知,作者每天乘公共汽车去上课。
小题1:B 由上文的studying for my Masters programme可知,作者是去新加坡上课。
小题1:B 作者返回Johor Bahru车站的时候,天已经很晚了。下文的dark,night是提示。
小题1:C 由下文作者步行回家的事实可以判断,作者误了末班车。
小题1:D 误了公交车,又没有足够的钱打车,作者只好步行回家。下文的walked是提示。
小题1:A 如果不是那天“我”太累的话,步行回家也未尝不可。
小题1:B 糟糕的是,路崎岖不平,且一片漆黑。help此处意为“改善状况,促进”。
小题1:D 作者本身很累,加上天黑,路不好走,所以应该是“艰难地(with difficulty)”往前走。
小题1:A  回家休息的想法支撑着“我”,促使“我”往前走。
小题1:B 走了几分钟,一辆车停在“我”面前。
小题1:A 司机问“我”要去哪里,看起来很关心的样子。concerned关心的,忧虑的。

小题1:D 他叔叔以前常走这条路。
小题1:D 虽然他经常在这条路上看到叔叔,但是他从来没有让叔叔搭过车。下文的not being kinder to his uncle是提示。
小题1:A 叔叔去世是一件让人难过的事情。
小题1:C 他为未能善待叔叔而自责。guilty感到内疚的。
小题1:B 有了这种情结,当司机看到作者时,便义无反顾地停下来提供帮助。
举一反三
I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard(果园),looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的). Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie(苹果馅饼), and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know, Sophie,” he says, “ I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼), and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe(烹饪法)for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?”
“ But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“ That’s true,” he says, “ but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home… towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.
小题1: We learn from the passage that Sophie       .
A.likes to watch clouds in the atticB.comes to the orchard after school
C.enjoys Grandma’s apple pie very muchD.picks many apples in the orchard
小题2:Both Sophie and her grandfather used to        .
A.help Grandma make apple piesB.spend summer afternoons in the orchard
C.enjoy fresh fruit in the farmhouse kitchenD.walk alone among the apple trees
小题3:The underlined part in the last paragraph shows          .
A.how much Sophie’s grandmother loved Sophie
B.how much Sophie’s grandfather likes apple pies
C.how much Sophie loves her grandfather’s orchard
D.how much Sophie’s grandfather misses Grandma
小题4: Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?.

Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.
A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer"s wife and her black servant.
Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女权运动). A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.
Lessing"s themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(苏菲教派). Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.
Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing"s selection.
“She is one of the truly great writers -- of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.”
At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901.
小题1: What would be the best title of the passage?
A.Doris Lessing’s Great Writings.
B.Doris Lessing’s Concern about Africa.
C.A Great Writer of Novel and a Pioneer of Modern Feminism.
D.A Nobel Prize Winner for Literature.
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A.there are only two characters in The Grass is Singing
B.The Golden Notebook is regarded as Lessing’s masterpiece by herself
C.life in Africa in her early age lays solid foundation for her writing
D.Doris Lessing is strongly against traditional culture in Africa
小题3:According to the fourth paragraph, _______.
A.Lessing began to believe in Christ in the 1970s
B.Lessing’s science fiction won readers
C.Lessing had won two literary medals for her writings
D.Lessing changed her themes to meet the needs of traditional critics
小题4:The underlined word “impulse” in the 6th passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A.pressureB.inspirationC.energyD.desire

I lived next door to Debbie and her 84-year-old mother, Nan, for about six months. One night last summer, Debbie asked me to check on her mother because she worked the overnight shift (夜班) at a nursing home.
I was glad to help. But I   1   felt a little funny about it.   2   , I’ve been blind since I was a baby and out of   3   for years. In fact, at 54, I came to wonder if I had any   4   to live.
A bit after 9:00 pm, I heard a sound—over the years my ears have grown super  5   . It was Nan. “Jim, Jim. The house is   6   ! Help!”
I went as far as I could to Debbie’s. I got to the front door,   7  for the key and unlocked the door. “Nan! Where are you?” I called.
“Here, Jim. Help!” her voice was  8   and low.
I felt my   9   inside. “Nan, where are you? Keep   10 !” “Here, Jim, here!” sounds as if she’s    11   in front of me. I reached out and touched her shoulder. We felt our way down the steps. ___12____ in the sweet, fresh summer air.
Later the fire truck arrived. Debbie came too. Nan and I heard the sound of the   13   coming down. Finally, the firefighters   14   the fire.
I heard Nan crying. She said, “I was so   15   and got turned around. I couldn’t find the door. You saved my life.”
Now Debbie’s voice quivered (发抖), “You’re a hero. You rescued my mom.”
I hardly knew what to say. Two hours earlier I was wondering whether I really mattered to anyone. And now I saved a life. Nan and Debbie were thanking me. Truth was, I wanted to thank them. Nan wasn’t the only one who had been saved that day.

A   38  woman dressed in rags and trembling with cold was   39  on a lonely road, while the merciless rain was   40  her without pause. She knocked at the door, and a   41  answered it.

The woman   44  old and tired under the bright electric light,   45  she was only in her early thirties. She sat   46  for a moment, and then her eyes began to look about the   47  . When her wandering eyes rested on the picture of a young man, she   48 up, looking thunderstruck. Just then, the boy came with his   49 . The man at once recognized the woman as his   50 . They had   51  touch with each other during the war, and he thought he had lost her forever.
  52  words needed to be spoken, They embraced each other   53  the boy stared at them, puzzled.
The storm was over and the sky cleared. Feeling very   54 , the couple stood face to face with their child between them, watching the rain as it gradually   55 .
