试题分析：文章大意：父亲为了给我积攒大学学费，退休后在学校附近卖手工面条。而“我”怕同学们嘲笑看不起就不让父亲去卖了。父亲伤心落泪但没说什么。之后总是默默地关心“我”爱“我”。在他身上“我”体会到了一种特殊的“无声的父爱”。
小题1:B 名词辨析。下文提到父亲卖面条（noodle），所以此处指父亲擅长做面条。所以选择B。
小题2:A 动词辨析。根据句意，每天放学后，我和同学们都会经过（pass）父亲的面摊。B观看；C拜访；D广告宣传。根据句意选择A。
小题3:B 动词辨析。根据下文说，我不愿意让同学知道父亲在街上卖面条，所以此处指“讨厌（hate）跟父亲在面摊前说话。A.喜欢；C.考虑，认为；D.继续。所以选择B。
小题4:A 动词辨析。根据句意，一天晚上我实在忍受（stand）不住，向父亲大吼起来。B.值得，应该； C.原谅；D.消化，吸收。所以选择A。
小题5:C 动词辨析。下文用annoying修饰noodles，而且作者反对父亲卖面条，所以作者想让父亲停止（stop）卖面条。所以选择C。
小题6:D 形容词辨析。 当父亲听到我的吼叫“我不要一个在街上卖面条的父亲”时，肯定感到很震惊（shocked）。A 疲惫的；B困惑的；C感兴趣的；D震惊的。所以选择D。
小题7:A turn的短语辨析。A turn around“转身”；B turn back“回头”；C turn up“出现，调大”；D turn down“拒绝，调小”。所以答案选A。
小题8:B 动词辨析。父亲转身的时候，发生了一件让我终生难忘的事情。所以答案用B forget。
小题9:B 动词辨析。上句说父亲满眼是泪，所以我第一次看见他哭（weeping）。

小题12:D 考查上下文。上文提到父亲给我攒大学学费，下文又说离开家去工作，所以此处指finish college（大学毕业）。
小题13:A 动词辨析。return home“回家”，照应上文的left my home。
小题14:C 副词辨析。最后一段说父亲是一个quiet的人，而且父亲对我爱是一种“无声的爱”，所以说，每次回家时，父亲总是在车站静静地（quietly）等着迎接我。A害羞地；B有规律地；D负责任地。
小题15:C 动词辨析。每次送我走的时候，他从不拥抱我，尽管我期望（expect）他能拥抱我。A看见；B拒绝；D 回报。

举一反三
Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame(责备) the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation（一代人）） of grown-ups who don’t often cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will probably choose sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
小题1:According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?| A．Those who often take exercise. | | B．Those who often watch television | | C．Those who often have meals at home. | | D．Those who often walk to school. |
小题2:The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _______.| A．their parents often cook meals for them. | | B．they are too busy to go out and play. | | C．they can"t choose what to eat. | | D．there are too many fast food shops around. |
小题3:The underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably means ____.| A．forcing | B．guiding | C．driving | D．moving |
小题4:According to the author, which of the following is WRONG?| A．We should encourage children to be more active. | | B．Children ought to keep away from fast food shops. | | C．Parents needn"t cook meals for their children. | | D．Parents should help their children form a good eating habit. |
小题5:The main purpose of the text is to _______.| A．tell a story | B．provide facts | C．give advice | D．compare opinions |

When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
小题1:Jack brought the couple their food very fast because[_______________.| A．the manager asked him to do so | B．he respected the elderly | | C．the couple wanted him to do so | D．he wanted more pay |
小题2:When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became[____________.| A．nervous | B．satisfied | | C．unhappy | D．excited |
小题3:In Jack’s hometown,______________.| A．people dislike being called “old” | | B．people are proud of being old | | C．many people reach the age of seventy or eighty | | D．the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants |
小题4:After this experience, Jack___________.| A．lost his job in the restaurant | | B．made friends with the couple | | C．no longer respected the elderly | | D．changed his way with older people |
小题5:Which of the following is TRUE?| A．The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got. | | B．Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience. | | C．The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple. | | D．From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture. |

Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.
The humanoid (human like) robots with two legs such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.
But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.
“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid,” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans.”
While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs.
Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu Laboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共场所), are working on this.
Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its stomach to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.
In guide mode, it will check a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello.”
Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.
The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there.
Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.
“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right,” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard,” he said.
小题1:The advantage of Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO is that _________.| A．it can do any housework for us | | B．it can talk with patients or old people | | C．it can climb up stairs as humans | | D．it can walk smoothly with its wheels |
小题2: According to Shimoyama, robots _________.| A．can be made to do everything humans do | | B．will be made as smart as humans in the future | | C．will remain as stupid as before | | D．can never compete with humans in intelligence |
小题3:Most important of all, a robot should be made _________ at present.| A．safe and elegant | B．safe and functional | | C．elegant and cheap | D．sensitive and cheap |
小题4:Which of the following statements about “Enon” is NOT true?| A．It can be used as a guide in hospitals. | | B．It can help shoppers carry goods selected. | | C．It can be used to welcome guests in restaurants. | | D．It can be used to stop thieves in malls. |
小题5:Enon is mainly designed to help _________.| A．old people | B．mall owners | C．tourists or newcomers | D．shoppers |

Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot colour. Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair. They are red hot when they are very angry about something. The small hottasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot for their colour and their fiery(辣的) taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.
The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day. A blacklist (黑名单) is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is，an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because green is the colour of the back side of the paper money.
