解析
小题1:C
解析 由下文知此处作者有意打破沉默，以免司机因为疲劳而出问题。silence沉默，符合句意。
小题2: B
解析 on condition that条件是；for fear that害怕，唯恐；in belief相信；in order that以便。语境表示害怕司机开车会太疲劳而有意和他攀谈。
小题3: B
解析 这个故事发生在晚上，司机说他送完我这趟就回家，由此判断选B项。trip出行，旅行，符合语境。
小题4: A
解析 问了第一个问题之后，我接着对他发问。用throw out表示“随口说出”，如throw out one’s suggestion说出某人的建议。give away赠送，泄露；make up编造，虚构；lead to导致，造成。
小题5: D
解析 从这个司机的回答看，他不像别的出租车司机那样只是报怨，而是回答的很轻松，这让“我”感到十分诧异。这里用easiness表示“轻松，自如”。
小题6: D
解析 我每次坐出租车的时候，从司机那儿听到的都是抱怨，说他们要从清早工作到深夜……这里用hear表示“听见，听到”。suffer受苦，遭受；request要求；benefit有益于。
小题7: C
解析 赚钱很难，而且经常被警察罚款。从语境和选项看，出租车司机应是被警察“罚款”，所以选C项。detect查明；order命令；fine罚款；seize抓住。
小题8: C
解析 或者埋怨说，领导懒洋洋地坐在办公室里享受他们的劳动果实。keep保持；taste尝，品尝；enjoy享受；choose挑选。
小题9: C
解析 从下面的叙述可知，这个司机觉得他原先那种日子很无聊，让人觉得很厌烦，因此选C项。
小题10: B
解析 从前面的叙述可推知，这个人觉得当出租车司机很惬意：他每天不用早起，不用晚归，而且自己每个月能赚到足够的钱。
小题11: A
解析 这里用hardly...without的双重否定表示肯定的含义：很幸运，我几乎从来没有拉过空车。
小题12: A
解析 从下文叙述判断选A项，从来不跟在跑空车的出租车后面，这样的车向南开，他就开车往北去。follow跟随；admire羡慕；envy 嫉妒；meet遇到。
小题13: D
解析 与下文的“狭窄的街道”呼应，这里应选D项表示“公路”。route路，(公共汽车和列车等的)常规路线；path小路，路；railway铁路；highway公路，公用通道。
小题14: B
解析 从前文这个司机的叙述看，他很满意自己开出租车的生活，因此选B项。
小题15: D
解析 从搭配看，这里用take pride in表示“以……自豪”。
小题16: B
解析 从生活常识可知，高山上的氧气稀薄，因此选B项。
小题17: A
解析 就像一句老话所说的，“不以物喜，不以己悲”(不以物质的收获为喜，不以个人的挫折为痛苦)。gain获得；concern关心；support支持；loss失去。
小题18: C
解析 就像这个司机这样的境界，过一种简单而内心平静的生活。simple与前面的high相对，符合语境。
小题19: D
解析 此情此景，不禁让我感到不寻常。curious不寻常的，稀罕的，符合语境。
小题20: B
解析 文章开头就暗示了故事发生的时间是晚上。 |
举一反三
How many times have you got upset because someone wasn’t doing his job，because your child isn’t behaving？How many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?
This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.
One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic.Actually，I have a lot of these little annoyances—don’t we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.
Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind：see_the_glass_as_already_broken.
See，the cause of our stress，anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like，the way we expect them to.Think of how many times this has been true for you.And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong，expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen.And accept it.
One quick example：on our recent trip to Japan，I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do on a trip.I told them，“See it as part of the adventure.”
And this worked like a charm.When we inevitably (不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreignlanguage subway system，or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea，or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children’s Castle closed on Mondays...they said，“It’s part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn’t get too bothered.
So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day，you might get upset.But things will be different，if you see the glass as already broken，from the day you get it.You know it’ll break some day，so from the beginning，see it as already broken.Be a timetraveler，or someone with timetraveling vision，and see the future of this glass，from this moment until it inevitably breaks.And when it breaks，you won’t be upset or sad—because it was already broken，from the day you got it.And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.
小题1:The author would probably agree that________.| A．we should control our anger and irritation | | B．we must get well prepared for the future | | C．optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation | | D．anger and irritation is a natural part of our life |
小题2:The purpose of the author is to________.| A．tell us his own experience in life | | B．advise us how to find peace of mind | | C．tell us a happy trip he took with his children | | D．ask us to see things from both sides |
小题3:By the underlined part (in Para.4)，the author tells us to________.| A．get ready for the worst result of things | | B．enjoy the process of things | | C．expect little from life | | D．find the relationship between cause and effect |
小题4:We can learn from the passage that the author________.| A．often gets angry in his life | | B．can adjust his state of mind accordingly | | C．always expects others to act in his way | | D．always suffers from his anger and irritation |

Heading overseas on a business trip or just for pleasure any time soon？If so，have you thought about what you are going to do about communication？You may need to arrange cab service or get directions to an attraction，not to mention you want to stay in touch with the folks back home.
Hope you aren’t counting_on your personal cell phone.Industry experts estimate that most American cell phones won’t work overseas due to compatibility (兼容性) issues.And even if yours did work，the roaming (漫游) charges would be too high.
So what are your choices？You could rent a phone with a local number in the country you’re traveling to，but that wouldn’t do you much good if you’re constantly on the go.A more costeffective way would be to rent a satellite phone from a company like Global Cellular Rental.
The process is amazingly fast and simple.All you have to do is to log onto the company’s website，www.globalcellularrental.com，and place an order.The site will show you the countries you will be traveling to and ask you how long you will need the phone.The company then ships a cell phone directly to you anywhere in the world.The phone arrives with complete instructions.
The traveler also learns his overseas phone number well in advance，enabling him to inform all vital contacts of the number before he ever steps on a plane.
Roaming rates are usually 80 percent less than those charged by American service providers.Calls back to the US can be discounted 40 percent or more.The rentals cost is just $5 per day，and discount packages are available for longterm rentals of two months or more.
This cell phone solution is becoming so popular that Global Cellular Rental actually has relationships with hotel chains around the world to keep phones in stock for hotel guests.And for those whose journey really takes them off the beaten track，the company can also rent satellite phones to them.These phones work anywhere in the world as long as you are outside.

小题3:Which shows the costeffective aspect of the satellite phone when an American user travels in Beijing?| A．The roaming rates are 20% discount compared to American local service. | | B．Calls back to the US cost 60% less compared to American local service. | | C．The rental cost is $150 per month if you rent for three months. | | D．Forty percent or more discount is available when he calls back to the US. |

Several parents and children escaped the summer heat and enjoyed a refreshing “Leap Into a Good Book”．About 30 children and parents gathered as volunteers for both agencies.
After the readings，refreshments (点心) were offered and children and parents were given books，a gift bag and a bookmark with information on adult literacy (读写能力) programs.
Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.and Even Start coordinated the event with hopes that combining their programs will help target functionally illiterate adults and their families.A functionally illiterate adult is one who has reading skills below a seventhgrade level.That often means they have difficulty filling out job applications，understanding a lease，reading medication labels or to their children.
Merelin Hernandez,9，a fourthgrader at Warrington Elementary School，understands the importance of reading.She also says it makes her happy when she is bored.“Reading helps me go to another grade，”she says.“I feel proud when I get a B because then I know I am reading well.”Monae Walker,7，a student at Oakcrest Elementary School，says reading teaches her and makes her happy.
Learn to Read of Northwest Florida Inc.provides oneonone tutoring for basic reading and writing skills to adults 16 and older who are not in school.Tutors go through a 12hour workshop and tutor their students 3 hours per week.The program currently has 150 active tutors.
Even Start is a family education program at McMillan Learning Center，which offers adult education classes and infant，toddler and prekindergarten services at no cost to families.Linda Harris，a teacher in charge of the Escambia Even Start program，says the program equips parents so they can help their children.
