She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931，Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson(19071964)‎ If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O’Connor(1930present)‎ When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952，she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and，in 1981, the first woman to join the U．S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks(19132005)‎ On December 1，1955，in Montgomery，Alabama，Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison.But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civilrights movement.“The only tired I was, was tired of giving in，”said Parks.‎ ‎21．What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A．Her social work.‎ B．Her teaching skills.‎ C．Her efforts to win a prize.‎ D．Her community background.‎ ‎22．What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?‎ A．Her lack of proper training in law.‎ B．Her little work experience in court.‎ C．The discrimination against women.‎ D．The poor financial conditions.‎ ‎23．Who made a great contribution to the civilrights movement in the U．S.?‎ A．Jane Addams.　　　　　 B．Rachel Carson.‎ C．Sandra Day O’Connor.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”‎ A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.‎ Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect ‎ (感染) other students.‎ Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare，“But I’m just not creative.”‎ ‎“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？”‎ ‎“Oh, sure.”‎ ‎“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you？”‎ ‎“Nobody. I do it.”‎ ‎“Really－at night, when you’re asleep？”‎ ‎“Sure.”‎ ‎“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”‎ ‎25．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________．‎ A．know more about the students B．make the lessons more exciting C．raise the students’ interest in art D．teach the students about toy design ‎26．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A．He liked to help his teacher.‎ B．He preferred to study alone.‎ C．He was active in class.‎ D．He was imaginative.‎ ‎27．What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A．Mistake.

They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.‎ ‎“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi？”the elegant, whitehaired writer remembered being asked by the stranger.“I’m from Mississippi too.”‎ Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.‎ ‎“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi，”Welty said.“I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”‎ Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her bigcity friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion (团聚)．‎ ‎“My friend said: ‘Now we believe your stories，’”Welty added.“And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them．’”‎ Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.‎ ‎“I don’t make them up，”she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.“I don’t have to.”‎ Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment (片段) of a particularly interesting story.‎ ‎5．What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?‎ A．Two strangers joined her.‎ B．Her childhood friends came in.‎ C．A heavy rain ruined the dinner.‎ D．Some people held a party there.‎ ‎6．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s“________”．‎ A．readers B．parties C．friends D．stories ‎7．What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?‎ A．They live in big cities.‎ B．They are mostly women.‎ C．They come from real life.‎ D．They are pleasure seekers.‎ ‎4.‎ ‎(2016·高考全国卷乙)The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness，uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. ‎ Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.‎ Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.‎ Nurses and other caregivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.‎ ‎32．What does the author say about silence in conversations?‎ A．It implies anger.‎ B．It promotes friendship.‎ C．It is culturespecific.‎ D．It is contentbased.‎ ‎33．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?‎ A．The Chinese.‎ B．The French.‎ C．The Mexicans.‎ D．The Russians.‎ ‎34．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?‎ A．Let it continue as the patient pleases.‎ B．Break it while treating patients.‎ C．Evaluate its harm to patients.‎ D．Make use of its healing effects.‎ ‎35．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．Sound and Silence B．What It Means to Be Silent C．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold ‎5.‎ ‎(2016·高考全国卷甲)Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.‎ Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it．‎ Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says，“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”‎ Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.‎ People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.‎ BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries.‎ ‎29．Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?‎ A．To explain what they are. ‎ B．To introduce BookCrossing.‎ C．To stress the importance of reading.‎ D．To encourage readers to share their ideas.‎ ‎30．What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．The book.‎ B．An adventure.‎ C．A public place.‎ D．The identification number.‎ ‎31．What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?‎ A．Meet other readers to discuss it.‎ B．Keep it safe in his bookcase.‎ C．Pass it on to another reader.‎ D．Mail it back to its owner.‎ ‎32．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B．Electronic Books: A new Trend C．A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D．A Website Links People through Books ‎6.‎ ‎(2016·高考北京卷)‎ Why College Is Not Home The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.‎ For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.‎ To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on ” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.‎ Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community (群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.‎ Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior ‎ that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.‎ It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents’ desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.‎ Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and selfregulation, of the necessary tension between safety and selfdiscovery.‎ ‎67．What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?‎ A．Sympathetic. B．Disapproving.‎ C．Supportive. D．Neutral.‎ ‎68．The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ________．‎ A．change B．choice C．text D．extension ‎69．According to the author, what role should college play?‎ A．To develop a shared identity among students.‎ B．To define and regulate students’ social behavior.‎ C．To provide a safe world without tension for students. ‎ D．To foster students’ intellectual and personal development.‎ ‎70．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?‎ I: Introduction 　P：Point　 Sp：Subpoint (次要点)　 C：Conclusion ‎7.‎ ‎(2016·高考天津卷)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.‎ ‎ There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.‎ We experience this tiredness in two ways: as startup fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.‎ ‎ Such startup fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.‎ Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essaywriting. Experience proved that the rule works.‎ Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard asI can—then let the unconscious take over.‎ When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.‎ One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.‎ An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.‎ Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.‎ ‎51．People with startup fatigue are most likely to ________．‎ A．delay tasks B.work hard ‎ C．seek help D.accept failure ‎52．What does the author recommend doing to prevent startup fatigue?‎ A．Writing essays in strict order. ‎ B.Building up physical strength.‎ C．Leaving out the toughest ideas. ‎ D.Dealing with the hardest task first.‎ ‎53．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?‎ A．Before starting a difficult task.‎ B．When all the solutions fail.‎ C．If the job is rather boring.‎ D．After finding a way out.‎ ‎54．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us________．‎ A．ignore mental problems ‎ B.get some nice sleep C．gain complete relief ‎ D.find the right solution ‎55．What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Success Is Built upon Failure B．How to Handle Performance Fatigue C．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems ‎8.‎ ‎(2016·高考四川卷)If you could have one superpower, what would it be?‎ Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life．‎ Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.‎ They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.‎ We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?‎ Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.‎ ‎24．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．Your life style.‎ B．Your life value.‎ C．Your trouble in life.‎ D.Your life experience.‎ ‎25．Why does the author say they are inspired every day?‎ A．They possess different kinds of superpowers.‎ B．They have got the power to change the world.‎ C．Some people around them are making the world better.‎ D．There are many powerful people in their life and work.‎ ‎26．What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?‎ A．Learning more and contributing more to a cause.‎ B．Rising above self and acting to help others.‎ C．Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.‎ D．Trying your best to help the poor.‎ ‎27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.‎ B．Much more progress will be made in the near future.‎ C．The work on health is the most valuable experience.‎ D．People’s efforts have been materially rewarded.‎ 专题3　任务型阅读 ‎1.‎ ‎(2016·高考全国卷乙)Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.‎ People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.‎ There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me”．‎ ‎ 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5”．‎ A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”． 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.‎ A．It is very hard to break a code without the code book.‎ B．In any language, some letters are used more than others.‎ C．Only people who know the keyword can read the message.‎ D．As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.‎ E．You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.‎ F．With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.‎ G．Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.‎ ‎2.‎ ‎(2016·高考全国卷甲)‎ A garden that’s just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum (总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.‎ ‎· 37 ‎ Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 38 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.‎ ‎·Recall (回忆) your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 39 —how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 40 . Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grownup garden.

Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 17 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.‎ ‎ 18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.‎ There are many common methods used to cook fish. 20 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.‎ A．Do not buy it.‎ B．The easiest is to steam it.‎ C．This is how you can do it.‎ D．It just requires a little knowledge.‎ E．The fish will go bad within hours.‎ F．When buying fish, you should first smell it.‎ G．The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.‎ ‎4.‎ ‎(2016·高考北京卷)‎ The Science of RiskSeeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 71 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.‎ The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risktakers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 72 As the quality of risktaking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.‎ So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200，000 years ago, too much risktaking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stayinthecave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 73 ‎ ‎ No matter where you are on the riskseeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 74 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.‎ ‎ 75 For the riskseekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.‎ As experts continue to study the science of riskseeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains,‎ ‎ the waves or the shallow end of the pool.‎ A．It all depends on your character.‎ B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.‎ C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.‎ D．Thus, these wellequipped people survived because they were the fittest.‎ E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.‎ F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.‎ G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.‎ ‎5.‎ ‎(2016·高考四川卷)Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 36 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.‎ One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 37 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility (生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.‎ ‎ 38 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.‎ ‎ 39 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency (倾向) to age more slowly than a man’s.Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 40 ‎ A．However, women, on average, live longer.‎ B．The biological factor plays an important part.‎ C．Women are also helped by their female genes.‎ D．The female hormones also protect the body in another ‎ way.‎ E．Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.‎ F．Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.‎ G．Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.‎ 专题4　完形填空 ‎1.‎ ‎(2016·高考全国卷乙)‎ A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.

impressions of you through that little device(装置) on your desk.”以及第二段中的“Rani，my faceless agent whom I’d never met”可知，此处表示“事实上他们从来没有见过你”。故选D项。accept“接受”；notice“注意”；hear“听到”；meet“遇见”。‎ ‎42．解析：选A。此处表示“他们对你的一切了解都是通过这个装置(传达的)”，故选A项。come“来，发生”；move“移动”；run“跑”；develop“发展”。‎ ‎43．解析：选B。根据上文的“...sometimes from hundreds of miles away”以及下文的“they feel they can know you...That’s how powerful the is.”可知，上下文为转折关系，故选B项。‎ ‎44．解析：选C。rather“在一定程度上，颇”；also“也”；just“仅仅”；already“已经”。根据语境可知，此处表示他们认为仅仅通过你的声音他们就可以了解你，故C项正确。‎ ‎45．解析：选A。根据第一段中的“little device(装置) on your desk”及第二段中的“For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone.”可知，此处指的是电话(telephone)。文章最后一段中的“wires”亦是提示。故选A项。‎ ‎46．解析：选D。根据第二段的内容可知，作者通过电话听到他的旅游代理商的声音是冷淡的，让他感到不悦。而根据第三段中的“What a wonderful lady！”可知，作者亲自见到了Rani后，发现她本人与电话中的声音给人的感觉不一样。故该题选D项，表示电话虽然是强大的，但传达的信息却并不总是准确的。direct“直接的”；useful“有用的”；easy“容易的”；accurate“准确的”。‎ ‎47．解析：选A。根据上文的“my faceless agent whom I’d never met”可知，作者从来没有亲自见过她，故选A项。in person“亲自”；by myself“我自己，独自”；in public“公开地，当众”；on purpose“故意地”。‎ ‎48．解析：选A。根据上文的“But her cold voice really”和下文的内容可知，此处指的是 ‎“让我不悦”，故选A项。annoy“使不悦，使生气”；interest“使感兴趣”；discourage“使泄气”；confuse“使困惑”。‎ ‎49．解析：选C。因为Rani的声音让作者感到不悦，所以作者有时希望找另一个代理商。故选C项。promote“促进”；train“训练”；find“找到”；know“知道”。‎ ‎50．解析：选D。根据第三段中的“an immediate flight home for a family emergency”以及最后一段中的“Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport...”可知，作者不得不立刻预订机票回家，故选D项。arrange“安排”；postpone“推迟”confirm“证实”；book“预订”。‎ ‎51．解析：选A。第二段提到作者从未与Rani见过面，而此处作者因家有急事而不得不订票，所以可推知此处表示作者第一次到Rani的办公室。for the first time“第一次”；at any time“任何时候”；from time to time“有时”；in good time“及时地，迅速地”。故选A项。‎ ‎52．解析：选B。因为作者已经进入Rani的办公室，所以此处表示“坐在桌旁的女士看到了我的疯狂”，故选B项。expect“期待”see“看见”；test“测验，检测”；avoid“避免”。‎ ‎53．解析：选B。根据上文的“...sympathetically jumped up”，空后的“smile...I thought”以及最后一段中的“her warm smile”可知，此处表示“她给予令人欣慰的(comforting)微笑”，故选B项。shy“害羞的”；familiar“熟悉的”；forced“强迫的，勉强的”。‎ ‎54．解析：选C。根据上文的“One morning，I had to an immediate flight home for a family emergency.”可知，此处指的是“立刻打印出了票”。故选C项。‎

trip”可知，此处表示的是“一位友善的(pleasant)女士”。careful“仔细的”；serious“认真的，严肃的”；nervous“紧张的”。‎ ‎57．解析：选D。根据下文的“Why had I thought she was cold？Rani was，well...”可知，作者亲自见到Rani之后，发现她本人与电话中的声音传达给自己的信息是很不同的，故作者应是(因吃惊)说不出来话。故选D项。amused“高兴的”；worried“担心的”；helpless“无助的”；speechless“(尤指气得或惊讶得)说不出话的”。‎ ‎58．解析：选B。根据上文的内容尤其是“What a wonderful lady！”可知，B项正确。calm“镇定的”；nice“友好的”；proud“骄傲的”；clever“聪明的”。‎ ‎59．解析：选C。根据上文的内容(如Rani帮助作者预订机票以及祝愿作者旅途愉快)可知，Rani是友好的。故选C项。forgiveness“宽恕，饶恕”；eagerness“渴望”；friendliness“友好”；skillfulness“有技巧，灵巧”。‎ ‎60．解析：选B。根据语境可知，此处的“her ‘I’m here for you’”应是属于工作态度，故选B项。explanation“解释”；attitude“态度”；concept“观念”；behavior“行为”。‎ ‎3.‎ ‎【文章大意】　文章讲述了作者通过刻苦训练，最终实现了成为学校足球队的明星球员的目标。‎ ‎21．解析：选B。文章首句“When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.”提到，我13岁时唯一的目标就是成为学校足球队的明星。结合下文的“Miller King，who was the best”可推断出Miller King是我们学校最出色的足球运动员(player)，而实现我的目标就意味着打败(beating out)他。‎ ‎22．解析：选D。参见上题解析。‎

‎25．解析：选A。Miller出了车祸失去了右臂，根据常识可知，这里指Miller出院后脸色苍白(pale)，却没有哭。‎ ‎26．解析：选B。根据下文的“I was named most valuable player”可知，我被提名为最有价值的球员，故可推断出我打破(broke)了Miller的所有纪录。‎ ‎27．解析：选D。Miller出车祸后不能再像往常一样踢球，因此只能坐在运动员休息区看(watched)主场比赛。‎ ‎28．解析：选C。空前的“I was named most valuable player”与空后的“I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame”语义间存在转折关系，故用but。‎ ‎29．解析：选C。此处指我经常做一些疯狂的梦。在梦中，我是Miller车祸的肇事者。根据上文可知Miller出了车祸，故这里选accident。‎ ‎30．解析：选A。Miller由于失去了右臂，因此独自一人很难翻越围栏。stuck在此作形容词，表状态，指Miller无法翻越围栏，被卡住了动不了。‎ ‎31．解析：选B。通过本句话即可判断出答案，要是双臂健全，翻越这个围栏并不困难。‎ ‎32．解析：选C。我一直梦想打败Miller，就在九月前Miller出了车祸，只能坐在休息区看比赛无法上场，而我却在场上破了他所有纪录还被提名MVP，所以我肯定他最不想接受我的帮助。assistance符合语境。‎ ‎33．解析：选B。根据上文可知Miller接受了我的帮助，故这里指我帮助(helped)他慢慢翻越围栏。‎ ‎34．解析：选D。在我的帮助下，我们最终安全地翻越了围栏。‎
