When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad _36_ stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t _37_ it, but I could pray from the _38_ we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or _39_ and go home empty-handed. That corner _40_ either mouth-watering excitement or _41_.
On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the _42_ sound of his offer. It _43_. “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to _44_ today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊). I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some _45_ for odd jobs(零活). But _46_ it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of _47_, I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll _48_.” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to _49_. But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt _50_ for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or _51_ act disappointed.
I _52_ that generosity（慷慨）goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the _53_ ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We _54_ another trip the next week. As we _55_ the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”

解析
小题1:C. 根据文章上句中often 和第二段开头一句中的again可知，我们常停下来买冰淇淋。故选C. frequently。
小题2:A. 根据文章文意可知，我作为孩子，渴望得到冰淇淋。A项expect意为“（心理上的）期待、渴望”。C项wait为不及物动词，意思、语法上均不正确，其它选项意思不符。
小题3:D。根据上下文可知，从我们开始往家赶的“一刻”，我就开始祈祷，希望能得到，故选D。
小题4:C。根据上文“go straight for the ice cream or…”和下文“go home empty-handed”可知，我们或者直接去买冰淇淋，或者空手而回。C项turn意为“转弯、掉头”，正符合文意。
小题5:B。根据文章上下文和常识可知，在这里，我可以得到美味的冰淇淋，所以，这个拐角意味着(meant) 快乐或失望。故B项最佳。
小题6:D。根据 “mouth-watering excitement”和文意，得到冰淇淋我会快乐，否则就是失望。故选D项disappointment。
小题7:D。根据文意，我希望听到父亲主动提出买冰淇淋，对一个孩子来说，这样的声音是“beautiful”（美好的），故选D最佳，其它选项意思不符。
小题8:A。根据文章上文，我期盼的声音终于来了（came），B项最佳。C项spoke的主语应该是人，而其它两项不符合文意。
小题9:B。根据文章结尾处“treat”，父亲这次让我“出钱请客”。注意C项buy不正确，因为，我可以买冰淇淋，但不一定我出钱。其它两项意思不符。
小题10:A。根据文意和“plus”可知，我每个星期除了得到25美分，而且干零活得到“额外”的钱，故选A项。
小题11:C。根据文意，我虽然有足够的钱，但当（when）让我拿来买冰淇淋时，我就舍不得。故选C。其它选项意思不符。
小题12:D。根据下文可以推知，我出于自私（selfishness）而放弃了请客吃冰淇淋的念头，故选D项。
小题13:C。根据文意，我既然不愿请客吃冰淇淋，就只好放弃了。注意pass在此意思是“免掉，不要”。
小题14:A。上文提到I realized how wrong I was，所以我后悔自己的自私，从而央求父亲掉转车头（turn back），故A项最佳。
小题15:B。根据上文父亲的回答可知，他实际上委婉的拒绝了我的恳求，所以我感到awful（懊恼的、糟糕的），故选B项。
小题16:A。根据文意，父亲对我的行为并不介意，甚至（even）没表现出失望。故选A。其它选项不符合文意。
小题17:B。根据文意，我从此事认识到慷慨是双向的。B .learned意思是“认识到、意识到，从……得到教训”，为最佳选项。
小题18:D。根据文意可推知，我在想：如果我当时请客吃了冰淇淋，将是对父亲多年来的回报，也将是我所吃到的最好的冰淇淋。其它选项不符合文意。
小题19:C。go on a trip为词组，意思是“去旅行”。
小题20:D。根据上文可知，我已经做错了一次。当再次出游时，将到拐角处时，我就主动提出请客，approach正符合文意。 |

Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 1 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s fun to share with others — a lesson I needed to 2 myself as well, as it 3 .
One evening Danae had 4 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 5 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 6 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 7 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 8 . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you can’t 9 them back tomorrow.”
A look of 10 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 11 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay; I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat 12 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 13 that our Go Fish set would be 14 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 15 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

A teenage girl is fighting for her life today after being struck by lightning as severe thunderstorms swept across Britain. The girl was one of four teenage girls from London who were hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park during a storm. Earlier, Joseph Wharton, 14, died as he was struck by lightning while camping in his friend’s backyard in the West Midlands.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said the girl remained in serious condition at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. She had stopped breathing by the time the first paramedic (护理人员) arrived on the scene just two minutes after the strike at 5:40 p.m. yesterday.
The other three girls hit by the bolt all had injuries, and were taken to University College Hospital. Their conditions were not serious, the spokesman added.
The strike lifted the girls into the air and then dropped them to the ground, a witness reported.
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics risked their lives to treat the girls. “The storm was still overhead and lightning was still coming down while they were treating the patients,” he said. “All staff involved acted very professionally in providing fast treatment to these patients in very difficult circumstances.” Scotland Yard said the incident was being looked into by officers from the Royal Parks’ Operational Command Unit.
Joseph Wharton of Byland Way, Bloxwich, was hit during the extended thunderstorm which struck the region yesterday morning. He was pronounced dead at Walsall Manor Hospital.
He had been sleeping in a tent while staying with school friend Michael Lees at a house on nearby Cresswell Crescent.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics were called at 7:50 a.m. and unsuccessful attempts were made to revive（使苏醒）the sports-mad teenager. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said four or five people die each year as a result of lightning strikes in the UK.
26、All four girls________.
A. were killed by the lightning B. were seriously injured
C. were being treated at the same hospital D. were lifted up and dropped to the ground

B. The paramedics began to treat the girls after taking them to the hospital.
C. First-aid was given to the girls during the storm.
D. The boy was hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park.
29、It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. many British people die from lightning strikes every year
B. the writer blames the government for the accident
C. the paramedics could also have been hit by lightning while aiding the girls

If you have ever been rock climbing, then you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and, like anything else, require practice, to get good at. What most people don’t know is that the sport of rock climbing is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports there is.
There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is probably one of the most common types and is basically climbing with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing. In both of these types of rock climbing the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope.
The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.
Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person but it really is an amazing workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.
41．What does the author think of rock climbing?
A．It is an easy sport. B．It is challenging.
C．It is quite dangerous. D．It is extremely difficult.
42．According to this passage, we know that __________.
A．indoor rock climbing is much easier than outdoor rock climbing
B．while rock climbing, people depend mainly on their arms
C．ordinary people can practise rock climbing
D．during climbing, the climber can always stop for a rest
43．It is much easier for a rock climber if he ___________ while climbing.
A．takes a rope B．has a partner
C．has three points touching the wall D．uses feet more often
44．___________ will make rock climb easier.
A．Keeping the body closer to the wall B．Resting more often on the arms
C．Resting more often on the feet D．Pushing forward without thinking of the problems
45．By rock climbing, one can _____________.
A．get more weight and stronger muscles B．get both physical and mental exercises
C．have a terrible experience that will last long. D．probably feel quite defeated |

However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait for another one. I felt I couldn’t wait and the school was only fifteen minutes’ walk, so I ran to the school as fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard.
