【正文】 er one morning while she was having her breakfast，and said to her, “No one at my school likes me, Mother. The teachers don39。t, and the children don39。t. Even the cleaners and the bus drivers hate me.” “Well, Harry ， ” his mother answered, “Perhaps you aren39。t very nice t o them. If a few people don39。t like a person, he or she may not be responsible for that. But if a lot of people don39。t, there is usually something wrong, and that person really needs to change.” “I39。m too old to change ， ” Harry said, “I don39。t want to go to s chool.” “Don39。t be silly, Harry ， ” his mother said, going to the garage to get the car out. “You have to go. You39。re quite well, and you still have a lot of things to learn. And besides that you39。re headmaster of the school.” 答案： 1－ 5 ABBBC 6－ 10 BACCB 11－ 15 CBBAA 16－ 20 CABCC 第二部分 閱讀理解 (共兩節(jié)，滿分 40 分 ) 第一節(jié) (共 15小題；每小題 2分，滿分 30分 ) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項 (A、 B、 C和 D)中，選出最佳選項。 A I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes— anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth173。grade English class that a person could not have a “plicated( 復雜的 ) idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony(嘲諷 ) or its very plicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once？ ) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book？ ) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization” ． “More than anything else in my life， ” the professor told the reporter with_finality,_“these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn39。t ignore( 忽視 ). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato39。s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introductions of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信 )of a schoolboy， I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic， and seriously crossed Plato off my list. 21. On hearing the teacher39。s suggestion of reading, the writer thought ________. A. one must read as many books as possible B. a student should not have a plicated idea C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read 答案與解析： A 考查推理判斷能力。老師對十年級的學生講了那番話之后，我并沒有意識到其真正的含義，下文又講到 “I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever with myself...”“ 我要為自己讀過的書列一個清單 ??” ，這說明作者認為要盡可能地多讀書。 B項講學生不應該有復雜的想法； C 項講一個學生不可能看完 2,000本書； D項講學生應該將看過的書列一個清單，都不符合文章內容。 22. While at high school, the writer ________. A. had plans for reading B. learned to educate himself C. only read books over 100 pages D. read only one book several times 答案與解析： A 考查邏輯分析能力。文章開頭就講到我中學期間雖然看過很多書籍，但我認為自己并不善于看書，有點兒書呆子氣。我在書中尋找好的短語、俗語或其他的一些能豐富我思想的，同時又讓我感覺到受教育的東西，這些都表示自己有讀書計劃。 B項與信息 make me feel educated 不符；從第一段最后幾句可以看出作者并不只是讀超過 100頁的書，也不只是多次地讀同一本書。 23. The underlined phrase “with finality” probably means “________” ． A. firmly B. clearly C. proudly D. pleasantly 答案與解析： A 考查對詞匯的理解能力。根據該短語所在語句的含義及構詞法的知識可推知 with finality 意為 “ 堅決地，堅定地 ” 。 24. The writer39。s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to ________. A. explain why it was included in the list B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word 答案與解析： C 考查分析作者寫作意圖的能力。作者在第二段中講到 “Most books ，of course， I hardly understood.” ，我用了幾個月時間看了很多書，但是其中很多書的內容我?guī)缀醪荒芾斫?，然后作者就以他?The Republic 這本書為例，說明這個事實；接著作者還講到 “I needed to keep looking at the introductions of the book to remind myself what the text was about.”“And by the time I reached the last word, pleased，I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic.” 這些都說明選項 C為正確答案。 B I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓約 ) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today. So here39。s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升 ), the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空閑 )。 it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an . Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted. It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I lea
