In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.‎ Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.‎ As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.‎ A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.‎ As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”‎ From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift---a book on identifying various plants and trees. There, tucked in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they first met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all those years.‎ ‎1.What puzzled the girl?‎ A. The cause of the man’s sadness B. The shadows in the man’s eyes 10‎ C. The man’s sitting still on the steps D.

Because I didn’t have an answer,的提示可知令那位女孩困惑的是那位男士没有回答她的问候，故选D。‎ ‎3.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.的描述可知当时Bob刚刚失去自己的妻子，而女儿的行为让他很感动，所以保存下来这片红色的叶子，从而当作对自己痛苦时光的回忆，故选A。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】主旨大意题。根据文中的描述可知这片红色的叶子一直贯穿全文，就是因为它才使故事得以发展，因此，一片红色的叶子就是该文的主旨，故选A。‎ 10‎ B One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school,found he had only one thin dime(十分硬币) left,and he was hungry.He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly,and then asked,“How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied.“Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness,” He said.“Then I thank you from my heart.”‎ As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in God and man was strong.He was about to give up and quit before this point.‎ Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled(束手无策).They finally sent her to the big city,where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.Dr Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went to her room.Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her.He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.‎ After a long struggle,the battle was won.Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He looked at it,then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally she opened,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She began to read the following words:“Paid in full with one glass of milk.Signed,Dr Howard Kelly.”‎ ‎1.Why did the boy do some selling from house to house?‎ A.To have a big dinner.‎ B.To finish his schooling.‎ C.To drink a glass of water.‎ D.To pay for the woman’s bill.‎ ‎2.How did the woman feel at first when she got the bill?‎ 10‎ A.Worried.　　　　　　　‎ B.Cheerful.‎ C.Angry. ‎ D.Moved.‎ ‎3.What can we infer from the text?‎ A.The woman finally recovered from her sickness.‎ B.Howard Kelly had never been to the woman’s town.‎ C.It was easy for Howard Kelly to save the woman’s life.‎ D.The local doctors cared little about the woman’s disease.‎ ‎4.What can we learn from the text?‎ A.Desire has no rest.‎ B.Grasping all loses all.‎ C.Virtue is its own reward.‎ D.Asking costs nothing.‎ ‎1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school”可知,小男孩儿为了攒够学费上学才挨家挨户地推销商品。‎ ‎2.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“She feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.”可知,当医药费通知单送到她的病房时,她不敢看,因为她确信治病的费用将会花费她的整个余生来偿还,因而她感到担心。故选A项。‎ ‎3.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“After a long struggle,the battle was won.”可推断“她最终康复了”。故选A项。‎ ‎4.C　主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了 Howard Kelly小时候受到一位年轻女士的帮助并在长大后为她治病并支付医药费来报恩的故事。主人公用最朴实的行为告诉我们:美德本身就是报偿。故选C项。‎ C I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make ‎ 10‎ eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.‎ I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.‎ 文章大意：《微笑》是法国作家安东尼·圣艾修伯里的作品，圣艾修伯里是名飞行员，二次大战对抗纳粹时被击落身亡，之前他也曾参加西班牙内战打击法西斯分子。他根据这次经验写了一篇精彩的故事——《微笑》。该篇短文就是节选自《微笑》中的一部分。这篇故事告诉我们微笑能改变人生，善待身边的每一个人，微笑会带来无穷的回报。‎ ‎1．What had happened to the man before?‎ A．He had been badly treated.‎ B．He had killed someone.‎ C．He had been searched.‎ D．He had been forbidden to get in touch with anyone.‎ 答案：C　细节理解题。根据题干关键词中的before找到文章对应段落是文章第一段中的第三句话I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search中的关键词search可推断the man刚刚被搜查过。故选C。‎ ‎2．Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?‎ A．Because he was sure he was to be killed.‎ B．Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.‎ C．Because he wanted to talk to the guard.‎ 10‎ D．Because he was used to smoking cigarettes.‎ 答案：B　推理判断题。根据题干关键词why，smoke找到文章的对应段落是第一段，其中的第二句话I became terribly nervous可推断他想抽烟就为因为想平静自己的紧张心情。故选B。‎ ‎3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ A．The man was a heavy smoker.‎ B．The man smiled to please the guard.‎ C．The guard set the man free with permission.‎ D．The man hadn't thought the guard would set him free.‎ 答案：D　推理判断题。A项这位男士是一名烟瘾很大的人；B项这位男士微笑是为了取悦卫兵；C项卫兵在许可之下释放了这位男士；D项这位男士没想到卫兵会释放了他。根据文章第一段的At that moment, I smiled.
