I told him not to worry and walked up to the front, 37 one person was in line ahead of me,a little girl no more than seven, 38 a bottle of Children’s Motrin on the counter.She 39 a little green and white striped(有条纹的) coin purse closely to her chest.
The purse 40 me of the days when,as a child,I played dress-up in my grandma’s closet.I’d march around the house in 41 clothes,wearing costume jewellery and hats,talking “grownup talk”to 42 who would listen.I remembered the thrill one day when I 43 a pretend dollar to someone,and he handed back some 44 coins for me to put into my special purse.“Keep the 45 !”he told me with a wink(眨眼).
Now the clerk rang up(用收银机记录)the little girl’s 46 ,while she shakily pulled out a coupon(优惠券)，a dollar bill and some coins.I watched her face becoming red as she tried to 47 her money,and I could see right away that she was about a dollar 48 .With a quick wink to the checker,I drew a dollar bill onto the counter and 49 the clerk to ring up the sale.The child put her 50 change into her coin purse,grabbed her 51 and hurried out of the door.

解析
试题分析：
小题1:根据The chemist handed me my prescription(处方药)，apologized for the wait ，既然是道歉，与它相对应的下文应该问对方是否介意去别的地方收费处。mind +doing介意做某事,故选C
小题2: 这是where引导的非限制定语从句，先行词是the front，句意：在那里有一个人在我的前面排队……，故选A，此题既考了语法由考了上下文的语意。
小题3: 一个仅仅七岁的小女孩拿着一小瓶药，这里表示随身携带只有用with，故选B
小题4:小女孩把一个绿白相间的有条纹的钱包紧紧地搂在胸前。hold“拥有”； hand“交给，传递”； open“打开”； close“关闭”；根据句意及上下文的语境，故选A。
小题5:小女孩拿着的钱包使“我”想起了童年的往事。remind sb of sth“是某人想起某事”； tell sb sth“告诉某人某事”； inform sb of sth“告诉某人某事”； convince sb of sth“使某人相信某事”；故选 B
小题6:suitable“合适的”； expensive“贵的”； oversized “尺寸过大的”；soft“柔软的”；因为这个小女孩穿着她的祖母的衣服当然衣服是很大的。故选C。
小题7:空格后是who引起的定语从句。这个小女孩学说着大人的话，说跟任何听想听的人。故选D
小题8:lend sth to sb“把某物借给某人”； show sth to sb“给某人看某物”； leave sth to sb“把某物留给某人”；give sth to sb “把某物给某人”。记得那天“我”假装给一个人一美元钱，而他又给“我”一些硬币放回“我”的钱包里。根据句意故选D
小题9:pretend假装；false假的；true正确的；real 真实的，真的，前后是对比，作者假装给钱，而对方却是真给作者前，前后是鲜明的对比。根据句意故选D。
小题10:keep the change保存好这些零钱，与前面的别人给作者coins相对应，故选 A。
小题11:与上文a bottle of Children’s Motrin on the counter.相对应，小女孩再付款时，先给药然后再拿钱，故选C
小题12:小女孩拿出一美元和一些零钱想数一数多少钱，故选B
小题13:当小女孩拿出钱付钱时，作者正好看见她少大约一美元。short不足的,故选B。
小题14:advise sb to do sth “建议某人做某物”；beg sb to do sth“祈求某人做某物”； signal sb to do sth “给某人打手势做某物”；get sb to do sth“使某人做某物”；根据上文With a quick wink to the checker可以看出作者向收款人用眼色示意她拿出钱来，来帮助小女孩付钱，不想让小女孩知道这事。故选C。
小题15:与上文相对应小女孩拿出钱来想数一数有多少钱，还没有来得及数，作者就把钱给付了，这时小女孩只好把没有数的钱再放回钱包里。故选D
小题16:与前面相对应把钱放进钱包，抓起她的包，这里不可能再是钱包，因为她的钱包她一直抓在手里，根据推理可以判断，小女孩买药后把药放在了另一包里，故选A。
小题17:当作者向车走去，head for向……走去；故选C
小题18:根据a little girl no more than seven 和wrapped her arms around my legs for a long moment可以判断小女孩个子小，所以她要仰头去看作者，故选 B。
小题19:根据下文I flashed her a smile 及当时小女孩得到了作者的帮助她肯定很高兴，所以露出了微笑，故选D。
小题20:根据stretched out her little hand.It was full of coins可知小女孩截住作者的目的就是要感谢作者，故选C
点评：本文讲述了作者在买药付钱时，遇到了一个小女孩，，看到了她，想起了自己的童年趣事，当作者看到小女孩需用帮助时，毫不犹豫地去帮助她的故事。这篇文章对考生有一定的教育意义。近几年高考的完型填空的短文中，经常出现让考生根据上下文来判断文中主人公在事情发展的过程中，心理变化的历程。提醒考生注意，仔细阅读文章注意上下文之间的呼应。 |
举一反三
You may never connect the words “good” and “eco-friendly”with plastic.It’s time to do a rethink on that as we say hello to hemp(大麻)plastic.Traditionally,plastics have been made from petrochemicals,which are mainly poisonous.Plants,on the other hand,are also a source of cellulose(纤维素),which can be used to make biodegradable (生物所能分解的)plastic.As hemp happens to be one of the richest sources of cellulose,it is only natural that scientists will support its use,considering its ecological benefits.
Hemp plastic is biodegradable and recyclable.If you thought being eco-friendly reduced its solidity,you couldn’t be more wrong.The hard level of hemp plastic can match that of regular plastic.Hemp plastic is resistant to heat;however,the most outstanding feature of a few varieties of hemp plastic is that they are flame resistant too.Finally,if Henry Ford could imagine creating a car with this material,we can perhaps believe that it indeed is“ten times stronger than steel”.
It is a pity that with so many useful qualities,we don’t see hemp plastic being used in our everyday life,the way it ought to be.Hemp plastic can easily take the place of the exiting plastic in products like cell phone chargers(充电器),laptop covers,etc.Currently,hemp plastic is being used to produce audio(音响设备),video,toys,automobile parts and packaging materials.
Hemp fiber is one of the strongest natural fibers known to us.As scientists keep looking for ways to solve the ecological damage that traditional plastics have caused,here is a material that can be produced to be 100% biodegradable.Hemp plastic is known to be several times durable as compared to polypropylene(聚丙烯)plastic,and it comes without all the health and safety threats,It really has long useful life.
Plastics keep reminding us of the damage that we have done to our planet,all under the excuse of convenience.As hemp products have become a new choice into our daily life,Please take a green plan now and make your effort to protect the environment.
小题1:Plastics produced in the traditional way are______.| A．harmful | B．made from plants | | C．good and eco-friendly | D．biodegradable |
小题2:According to Para.2,hemp plastic_____.| A．is all resistant to flame | B．doesn’t have enough solidity | | C．will take the place of steel | D．can be used again after being processed |
小题3:What does the underlined word“durable”mean in Para.4?| A．Very useful of important. | | B．Costing little money or less money. | | C．Staying in good condition for a long time. | | D．Existing in large numbers or in many places. |
小题4:Which aspect of hemp plastic isn’t mentioned in the passage?| A．Features. | B．Production cost | C．Applications. | D．Advantages. |
小题5:What can we know from the passage?| A．Using hemp plastic is inconvenient. | | B．People haven’t made the most of hemp. | | C．Hemp fiber is a kind of strong man-made fiber. | | D．Scientists have already known how to solve ecological damage. |

The olive is one of the oldest planted crops known to man and is still widely grown in the Mediterranean.An olive tree can have a life of 500 years and is strong enough to continue to grow if ever chopped to the ground.It takes up four years before the olive tree is ripe enough to bear fruit.
Olive trees originated in the Mediterranean region where there is the perfect climate for the olive tree planting.It is characterized by abundant sunshine year-round and hot,dry summers with an average temperature of 80°F.In winter,it rarely drops below 50°F.Olive trees were first planted by humans around 4000 BC in an area known as the Fertile Crescent.Before the areas became desert,countries such as modern-day Turkey and Iraq had a lush environment with soil that plants grow well.Archaeological findings suggest that farming began in the Fertile Crescent before 7000BC.Instead of living as hunter-gatherers,these early humans settled down and harvested native plants.They selected olive trees that produced larger and oilier olives than the wild trees.
Olives and olive oil became valuable trade items between societies and civilizations.People who moved from one place to another and traders from the Fertile Crescent introduced olive oil to Syria and Crete,which spread to Egypt,Greece,and Rome.It continued to migrate westward until olive trees were first introduced to Califomia between 1769 and 1785.
The olive tree and olive oil have important symbolism in each religion.In Christianity,a dove(鸽子)brought an olive branch to Noah as a symbol of peace and new life after God flooded the Earth.The Prophet Muhammad suggested the use of olive oil for medicinal(药用的) purposes and massage(按摩).
Olive oil has medicinal benefits.Olive oil has been used for health benefits.Regular eating olive oil can reduce the risk of cancers.It was used during the Spanish Civil War from 1808 to 1813 to treat cases of fever.In 1960,oleuropein(橄榄多酚)was removed from olive leaves,which helps with food poisoning.
小题1:If an olive tree is chopped to the ground,______.| A．it can’t grow any more | | B．it can produce more new ones | | C．there is no doubt that it will die | | D．it is able to grow back strongly |
小题2:What does the underlined word “lush”in para.2 probably mean?| A．Of bad climate. | B．Changeable or unstable. | | C．Extremely disadvantaged. | D．Growing thickly and strongly. |

Starting college can be a difficult experience. You have to deal with new responsibilities and growing independence, a challenging course load and, of course, the social scene. When a roommate is thrown into the mix, it may feel like you’re struggling with all that stuff while living in a small box with a stranger.
But having a roommate doesn’t need to be one more thing to worry about. When students go into their living situations with realistic expectations and a willingness to compromise, things can work out just fine.
When you first meet your roommate, chances are you’ll be on your best behaviour. You want to get along, since this is the person who’s going to be sharing your living space for the next year. But try to think ahead to potential (可能的) worst cases, too.
For example, imagine it’s 2 a.m. and you’re working on a paper that should be finished in 8 hours. Your roommate comes in from a party and wants to continue the party in your room.
At times like these, you won’t be feeling good. That’s why talking about problems that might come up ahead of time -- and respecting each other’s wishes when the time comes -- is so important.
Talk about the things that are really important to you, and make sure your roommate understands. Then encourage him or her to do the same.
For example, does it make you angry when people take things without asking first? Let your roommate know your feelings about these types of things from the start, so that both of you have a feel for each other’s likes, dislikes, and habits.
小题1:The underlined word “compromise” in the second paragraph means “ ”.| A．make a decision | B．lend a hand | C．come to terms | D．have a try |
小题2:You should try to be polite to your roommate because .| A．you are glad to share the room with him or her | | B．you will live with him or her in the same room for some time | | C．you will ask him or her for help in the future | | D．strangers are very difficult to deal with |
小题3: Which of the following is the best way to get along well with your roommate?| A．To stay silent when there are disagreements. | | B．To spend more time doing things together with your roommate. | | C．To have the same hobbies and living habits with your roommate. | | D．To talk with your roommate in advance about possible future problems. |
小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?| A．It is really a worrying thing to have a roommate. | | B．It is difficult to get along well with a roommate. | | C．It is your duty to help your roommate in his or her daily life. | | D．It is very important for you and your roommate to understand each other. |

Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks (漏). The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother persuade me into doing this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor (赞助) a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!
Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.
Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!
Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section (区域) that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod (竿) , which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast (投掷) it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.
Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe (乘独木舟) down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.
小题1:The writer went on this camping trip because ____________．| A．she enjoyed camping. | B．she wanted to go fishing. | | C．she was influenced by her brother. | D．she was tired of staying home. |
小题2: The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer ____________．| A．hiked along the lake. | B．dried out her belongings. | | C．climbed the mountain. | D．caught the fish for dinner. |
小题3:It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because ____________．| A．she could not afford to buy a regular fishing pole. | | B．she needed it to get their food. | | C．she thought the writer of the journal might need it. | | D．she expected to go fishing while they were hiking. |
小题4: It is likely that the writer will ____________．| A．go on another camping trip. | | B．invite Carol to go fishing together. | | C．make her brother buy her something. | | D．persuade her brother to go camping. |

71 Because, from what I could see, it seemed that grown-ups often forgot. I never wanted to forget --- I wanted to be able to remind other adults and myself when the time came. I began consciously(有意识地) thinking this at quite an early age.
As soon as I was fully aware (意识到) of myself, I regarded me as a little person and liked adults who thought of and treated me the same way. I didn’t have a doll and I didn’t want one. I wanted animal toys, even a single animal. Why wouldn’t my parents give me the one thing I wanted? 72
Instead, my dad somehow managed to buy me a full set of encyclopedia(百科全书) and books with maps and color pictures long before I could read. Well, guess what? I learned to read without realizing it! Later, I found out when I started school and it all came so easy especially geography. 73 Because of all the books my father bought me, I knew a lot of words that other children didn’t know at my age.
I love words. They opened up new worlds for me. 74 Parents, please make sure your kids have a computer. Let them explore — as safely as possible— let them do their own things and discover the world.
Now, most kids lead a happy life. They can get what they want from their parents. But children should learn to be independent. 75 Be independent to do your own things.| A．Because of them, I read and thought, and today, I write. | | B．When I was a child, I promised myself to try to remember as much as I could. | | C．I listened and heard everything, even if I didn’t understand everything. | | D．I nearly knew every place on the map like the teacher. |
E. But more than anything, it made me feel uncomfortable and I knew it wasn’t nice.
F. Later, I knew we didn’t have much money, but how expensive could a toy be?
G. Be independent to learn some useful knowledge. |
