A
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005．While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone． The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live． I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our
story．Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before． People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole．And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others．No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．
16．Why was the bike so important to the couple? A．The man’s job was bike racing． B．It was their only possession． C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed． D．They used it for work and daily life． 17．We can infer from the text that ____________． A．the couple worked 60 hours a week． B．people were busy before Christmas C．the stranger brought over the bike D．life was hard for the young family． 18．How did people get to know the couple’s problem? A．From radio broadcasts． B．From a newspaper． C．From TV news． D．From a stranger． 19．What do the couple learn from their experience? A．Strangers are usually of little help． B．One should take care of their bike． C．News reports make people famous． D．An act of kindness can mean a lot．
B
Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago．My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down．“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie． Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three．And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out． The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time．Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first．When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions．McKenzie was smiling broadly．Christie looked refreshed and happy．“She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly．With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention． Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my
children during our alone times．For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently．My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak．And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together． The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain．Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while．
20．What is the text mainly about? A．The experience of the only child being with mother． B．The advantage of spending time with one child at a time． C．The happy life of two families． D．The basic needs of children．
21．Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________． A．happy B．curious C．regretful D．friendly 22．What is one of the changes the author finds in her children? A．The daughter acts like a leader． B．Sam holds her hand more often． C．The boys become better followers． D．Tom has less difficulty in speaking． 23．The author seems to believe that ___________． A．having brothers and sisters is fun B．it’s tiring to look after three children C．every child needs parents’ full attention D．parents should watch others’ children
参考答案
答案详解：
1．A考生对本题的切入点是看到前后两个句子所表达的意思是一样的，所以可以肯定横线部分是让说话
人重复一遍，A项符合题意。
2．C本题的关键是看到后半个分旬带有转折的意思，故前半分句的意思是“我本来希望我明天可以离开。”
只有C项表示“原来希望”。
3．D本题是情态动词的考查。首先肯定对前半部分是否定的，而mustn't表示禁止，与题意不符。dare可
以作情态动词，也可以作实义动词。
4．B本题是名词性从句的考查。that引导she was invited to the ball的从句作为整个句子的主语。
5．D本题是连词的辨析使用。as表示“随着”，通常表示前后动作发生的时间为一致的。when强调在一个
动作发生过程中另一个事情突然发生。while表示两个同时进行的持续性动作，且强调主句表示的动作延续到从句所指的整个时间。
6．D to make matters worse是固定用法，在本题中充当插入语。
7．C本题考查冠词的用法。前一个空over the telephone表示“通过电话”；by letter表示“通过写信”，by表
示方式后直接接一个名词。
8．A本题考查状语从句的用法。考生一上来不能为“，”所迷惑，立刻选择了D项which。这里where引导
一个状语从句。
9．C本题是对副词的考查。关键是理解情景对话的含义。整道题的意思是：“你今天看上去气色不好。怎
么了?”“我感冒了，但是不严重。”所以C项符合题意。
10．B本题考查形容词的次序排列。考生解题的关键是掌握所修饰的名词前必须紧接质地或性质的词，故
排除C、D。few与后面的词关系更为密切，所以放在short前面。 11．B本题考查介词的用法。表示以多少价格卖掉某物用介词for。
12．D本题是情景对话的考查。考生的关键是抓住I’ll keep none．none说明所拿走的东西至少有三个，而
且可以全部拿走，所以选D。
13．A本题考查动词词组的辨析。A项意为“扔掉，丢失”；B项意为“放下”；C项意为“向……屈服”。 14．A本题只要考生理解了情景对话的含义，是不难得出答案的。A项显然是符合题意的。 15．A本题考查非谓语动词的使用。to save在句中表示“为了节省”。 二、选择题答案 16．D 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据第二段“Trevor used it to get to work．．．And the bike was also used to get
groceries,”可知自行车是Trevor家工作和日常生活的交通工具。 17．D 解析:这是一道推理题。根据第一段“While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had
to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．”可知大部分人都开车,而Trevor要早起骑车去工作,可以看出Trevor家不富裕。 18．B 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the
newspaper and told them our story．”可知作者把自行车被盗的事情告诉了报纸,所以人们是在报纸上知道这个故事的。 19．D 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后两句“No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that
someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．”可知善行无论大小,作用是巨大的。 20．B 解析:这是一道主旨题。本文介绍了两个妈妈尝试每次只带一个孩子出去,从而发现了这样做的好处:孩
子们不再为了引起注意而努力,更能发挥他们的个性。 21．B 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“When she returned,the other children showered her with tons of
questions．”可知其他孩子问了很多问题,可以推断出其他孩子都很好奇。 22．D 解析:这是一道细节题。根据第四段“My stuttering son,Tom,doesn’t stutter once during our activities since
he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak．”可知Tom由于不再需要抢着说话就不口吃了,他口吃的问题减轻了。 23．C 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段“Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while．”
得知作者通过尝试只带一个孩子出去感受到了这样做的好处,所以孩子应该得到家长全部的关注,即使只有很短的时间。
