I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team. After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to 21 the place where we were assigned(指定).We 22 the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold 23 for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of 24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not 25 to crossing so high a bridge 26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other 27 . “As you cross this bridge,think about 28 difficult,but it is possible”. Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is 30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be 31 through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others. I didn’t understand my cousin 32 she told me I should 33 all those unfriendly guys with 34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past 35 and guilt will not serve me well. Once I forgave serious 36 ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I 37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them. After all,life is good 38 all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be 39 in facing and adversity(逆境)while at the same time it makes me 40 to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.

解析
小题1:根据下文语境,要想欣赏到对岸壮观的瀑布,必须通过一座高峻的铁索桥。这是一个探险/冒险的过程,使用“explore”(探险,冒险,探索)更贴近语境。admire钦佩,赞美;欣赏,观赏。 小题1:辨析词组的含义。set aside把……放在一边;build up使-.…·恢复体力,增强,扩大;break down分解,破裂,身体垮掉。句意表示“我们上了铁索桥”。 小题1:辨析副词的含义。conveniently方便地;delightedly兴高采烈地;relaxingly放松地。句意表示“你可以紧紧地抓着绳索”。 小题1:根据下文提示“to crossing so high a bridge”,可知此处意为“我很恐高”。 小题1: be accustomed to doing sth.习惯于做某事。 小题1:however表示转折。therefore因此;otherwise否则,要不然;anyway无论如何,不管怎样。 小题1:on one side在一边;on the other side在另一边。 小题1:上文桥的名字“The Bridge of Forgiveness”有提示;下文“forgiveness of yourself and others”也有提示。 小题1:在生活中,我们会遇到一些意想不到的情况。考查四个名词的含义。stranger陌生人;environment周围状况,自然环境;ceremony庆典;situation形势,情况,状况。 小题1:面对这些意想不到的情况,我们所能做的只能是叹息。 小题1:unload the burdens卸下重担。 小题1:根据下文语境“But as I grow older, I realize that…”可知,此处表示“当时她告诉我的时候我不理解”。 小题1:“我”的表妹告诉“我”应该友善地对待那些不友好的人。 小题1:参看上题的解析。 小题1:“hurts”与“guilt”对应,表示“生活在过去的痛苦与自责当中对自己并不好”。 小题1:句意为“一旦我忘了那些冒犯我的行为,我注意到每次回想起它们的时候,我都会微笑”。 小题1:参看31题的解析。 小题1:考查连词词组的含义。Apart from…除……以外;rather than而不是……;instead of代替。而不是……;regardless of不管,不顾……。 小题1:句意为“不考虑这些困难与痛苦,生活教会了我在逆境中要坚强;同时它也使我对那些遭受苦难的人充满了慈悲、怜悯”。 小题1:considerate关心的,体贴的;merciful宽大的,慈悲的,仁慈的;grateful感谢的,感激的。 |

A programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York. The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun. He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.” Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep. The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!” This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨) unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The programmer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The engineer doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so what’s the answer?” Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep. 小题1:What’s the best title for the passage?A.A Boring Conversation | B.A Fun Game | C.A Trick During The Flight | D.A Question Without Answer | 小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined work “agitated”?A.Angry. | B.Excited. | C.Surprised. | D.Curious. | 小题3:What kind of person is the programmer according to what he said?A.Confident. | B.Selfish. | C.Greedy. | D.Generous. | 小题4:What can we infer according to the last sentence?A.The engineer has little money with him. | B.Actually the engineer doesn’t know the answer, either. | C.The engineer is bored with programmer. | D.The engineer beats the programmer at last. | 小题5:Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.In the beginning the engineer is not interested in the game. | B.The engineer is too sleepy to want to play the game. | C.At last the engineer gains $45 from the programmer. | D.Nobody knows the answer to the engineer’s question. |

The day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk. Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall? Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.” Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.” In many ways I have changed for the better. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. 小题1:What made the author feel sad?A.Her fiancé’s sudden death. | B.Constant heavy snow. | C.Her fiancé abandoning her. | D.Her job being refused again. | 小题2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in Paragraph 1?A.Surprised. | B.Angry. | C.Ashamed. | D.Moved. | 小题3:It is _______ that helped the author out of darkness. A.herself | B.her friends | C.her fiancé | D.a snowplow | 小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The author was a capable and independent woman. | B.The author was so lazy that she wouldn’t shovel the walk. | C.Finally the author got through hardest work bravely. | D.When facing the worst fear, you will get strength. | 小题5:What’s the author’s purpose in the passage?A.To talk about her hardest work in her life. | B.To talk about her real love between her and her fiancé. | C.To tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely. | D.To tell us the importance of friendship. |

It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 33 .This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 34 of savings for a house for my mother.The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 35 at it.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 21 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 22 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 23 scoring goals.

You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings,you say hello, and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible! Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time. Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect. When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down. Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that. Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible. 小题1: The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A.make a comparison | B.offer an evidence | C.introduce a topic | D.describe a daily scene | 小题2: How can negative people have effect on us?A.By influencing our emotion. | B.By telling us the nature of life. | C.By changing our ways of thinking. | D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours. | 小题3: Some negative people base their happiness on _______.A.other people’s pity for them | B.making other people unhappy | C.building up a positive attitude | D.other people’s respect for them | 小题4: According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us,we are advised to ____. A.change negative people’s attitudes to life | B.show our dissatisfaction to negative people | C.make negative people feel ashamed of themselves | D.communicate with negative people as little as possible | 小题5:What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A.Favorable. | B.Critical. | C.Indifferent. | D.Supportiv |
