解析
　本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以第一人称的方式进行记叙和议论，主要讲述了在作者和父亲为杂货店所接甜玉米订单配货的过程中，作者中途想放弃，但是父亲鼓励她要坚持下去。文中还讲述父亲在遇到困难时，总是以积极、乐观的态度面对生活，这让作者受益终生。
小题1:解析：选C。根据上文“their calluses (老茧) and roughness”和20空后的“After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field...”可以判断出作者的父亲是一个农民。teacher老师；gardener花匠，园艺师；farmer农民；grocer食品杂货店店主/店员。所以C项符合句意。
小题2:解析：选D。根据上文“a drought (旱灾) hit Ontario，turning...”和17空后的“On one of those hot mornings...”可以推断出干旱将安大略变成了一个滚烫的沙漠。stormy暴风雨的；lively活泼的，生动的；disappearing消失的；burning燃烧的，滚烫的。所以D项符合句意。
小题3:解析：选A。根据此句中fill the last________from the grocery store(杂货店)和22空后的“If the store wants its last twenty dozen...”可以推断出空格处填“订单”。order订购，订单，订货，fill the last order为最后一个订单配货；form表格，形式，形状；形态；gap间隙，缺口，空白；position位置，职位。所以A项符合句意。
小题4:解析：选B。根据下文“That morning，however，the process didn’t________quickly.After forty minutes of...”可以推断出这一过程(花费了40分钟)正常情况下只需20分钟。repeatedly反复地，再三地；normally正常地，通常地；finally最后，终于；really实际上，事实上。所以B项符合句意。
小题5:解析：选A。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意：然而，那个早上，过程________不快。go进行，进展；begin开始；occur发生；change变化；零钱。所以A项符合句意。
小题6:解析：选B。根据上文“Fifty dozen was all we needed”和下文“If the store wants its last twenty dozen，they can pick it themselves！”可以推断21空所在句的句意为“漫无目的地在田地里走了40分钟后，我们仍需要摘20打”。yet然而，可是；still仍然，还；even甚至；nearly几乎，差不多。所以B项符合句意。
小题7:解析：选C。根据关键词frustrated和下文“Dropping the basket heavily...”可以推断出作者生气了。surprised感到吃惊的；nervous紧张的；angry生气的；frightened感到害怕的。所以C项符合句意。
小题8:解析：选D。根据下文“whatever problem he________，he never gives up”可以推断出作者的父亲对待生活的态度是非常积极、乐观的，故此处选D项，laugh“笑”。apologize道歉；cry哭，哭泣；complain抱怨，均与语境不符。
小题9:解析：选B。空格处所在句的句意为“……我们每个人就只剩下10打了，然后我们就完成了”。lost迷路的；done已完成的；gone过去的，用完了的；touched感动的。所以B项符合句意。
小题10:解析：选A。meet with碰到，遇见；bring up养育，提出，谈到，呕吐；work out计算出，弄明白；think about考虑，思考。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“这就是父亲——无论遇到什么问题，他从不放弃”。所以A项符合句意。
小题11:解析：选C。根据下文the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our country“干旱所带来的灾难性影响席卷全国”可以推断出本空填的词应意为“不幸的是”。thankfully高兴地，感激地；hopefully有希望地，有前途地；unfortunately不幸的是；strangely奇怪的是。所以C项与语境相符。
小题12:解析：选D。根据上文“It was a challenging time for everyone...”和下文的关键词optimistic可以推断出前后两句具有转折关系。or或者，否则；for为了；so因此；but但是。所以D项符合题目要求的转折关系。
小题13:解析：选C。happen to...碰巧/恰巧……；seem to...好像/似乎……；continue to...继续……；aim to...打算……上文提到干旱所带来的灾难性影响席卷全国，但父亲仍然保持着乐观的态度。所以可推测本空所在句的意思是“他一如既往地感激其他事情，如健康的身体和我们盘中的食物”。故C项符合句意。
小题14:解析：选B。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“直到那时我才真正地开始欣赏父亲以及父亲引导我们度过困难时期的信念”。face面对；appreciate欣赏，感激；examine检查，测验；question质疑，问问题。所以B项符合句意。
小题15:解析：选A。根据下文“His loving and selfless nature has inspired...”可以推断出父亲也是一个能够付出真爱的活生生的例子。love爱；pride自豪，骄傲；friendship友谊；honesty诚实。所以A项符合句意。

小题18:解析：选A。in spite of尽管；in terms of在……方面，依据，按照；in control of控制，管理，掌握；in place of代替，取代。根据上下文可推测空格处所在句的句意为“他总是把我们的幸福放在他自己幸福的前面，即使……精疲力竭，父亲也从未忘记在体育比赛中为我加油鼓劲”。所以A项符合句意。
小题19:解析：选C。根据下文“putting others first”可以推断出“父亲是具有同情心的、体贴他人的”。careful仔细的，细心的；regretful遗憾的，后悔的；considerate考虑周到的，体贴的；humorous幽默的。所以C项considerate符合语境。
小题20:解析：选D。根据下文“You are my father，teacher，friend and，most importantly，my hero.”可以推断出空格处是指从父亲那里学到的关于生活的经验与教训。history历史；motto座右铭；pattern模式；lesson教训，经验，课。所以D项符合语境。

(2013·高考北京卷，C)Although being famous might sound like a dream come true，today’s stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes，cameras ready.Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal，celebrities－famous people－worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually，they start to lose track of who they really are，seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them，not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time，”Villarreal says，“they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B．C.，painters followed Alexander the Great into battle，hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century，his sold­out readings attracted thousands of fans，leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film­stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today，however，is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous，there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome，why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still，even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
小题1:It can be learned from the passage that stars today________.
A．are often misunderstood by the public
B．can no longer have their privacy protected
C．spend too much on their public appearance
D．care little about how they have come into fame
小题2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Well­known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
小题3:What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A．Availability of modern media.
B．Inadequate social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances.
D．Huge population of fans.
小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A．Sincere.B．Sceptical.
C．Disapproving.D．Sympathetic.

Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds
Waiter / Waitress
A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.
Work in a library
If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
Internet jobs
There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.
小题1:What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?
A．It needs a period of training.
B．It pays much more than other jobs.
C．It can improve one’s leadership skills.
D．Making diners comfortable is part of the job.
小题2:A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.
A．in a restaurantB．in a libraryC．on the InternetD．in an IT company
小题3:The writer wrote this text to ______.

In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today"s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it"s going to rain." I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh that bus left five minutes ago." Dreams of head-cutting！
It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsym pathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(递送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way . A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling fo the receiver.
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this. When you"re tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn"t ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy（同情），I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，"Oh，that"s all right I"ll catch the next one." Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轰炸的）person is sure to have.
小题1:In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to ____.   
A．make a comparisonB．introduce a topic
C．describe a sceneD．offer an argument
小题2:In the writer"s opinion，his neighbor was ___.   
A．friendlyB．warm-heartedC．not considerateD．not helpful
小题3:From "Dreams of head-cutting！"（Paragraph3），we learn that the writer___.   
A．was mad at the sales agent
B．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh
C．wished that the sales agent would have had dreams
D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent"s head that night.
小题4:What is the main idea of the text？   
A．Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.
B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.
C．Receiving bad news requires great courage.
D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful.
