“I’m, er—I’m just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team,” he said__38__. “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.
“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about __39__ from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process(選舉過程) would give __40__ a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.
My first goal was to __41__ a catchy advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway __42__ passing Jeff’s smiling face.

小題1:本題考查動詞的運(yùn)用，聯(lián)系上下文，由上文給出the last candidate(候選人) ，可知下文對應(yīng)的動詞應(yīng)該是 be chosen。
小題1:本題考查形容詞表感情色彩，聯(lián)系上下文，由本段出現(xiàn)的第一個形容詞usual 來判斷作者的感情色彩是平淡的，故排除B. loud和D. cheerful選項，再由to my surprise 來判斷，作者與Jeff的關(guān)系不是非常親密所以排除C warm選項。
小題1:本題是對副詞的考查，由er，wondering，would...等詞可知，Jeff表現(xiàn)得比較緊張，所以答案選擇nervously。
小題1:本題考查的是詞語辨析，advice指的是忠告，多指醫(yī)生對病人，長輩對晚輩； message 多指口信，轉(zhuǎn)述客觀事實且通常不帶有主觀上的感情色彩；chance 最大的干擾選項 因為下文出現(xiàn)個chance ,但是chance表示的一種可能性；抽象名詞 offer 作為名詞表示提議。聯(lián)系上文可知D為最佳答案。
小題1:本題考查代詞的運(yùn)用，聯(lián)系上下文主語都是I，所以答案選擇me。
小題1:本題考查動詞辨析，由于當(dāng)時advertisement 已經(jīng)存在，可以排除invent；在剩下的選項中，我們進(jìn)行個排序就會發(fā)現(xiàn)：第一步 create ；第二步print ；第三步：send 。這正好與上文提到first goal相呼應(yīng)，所以答案選擇C。
小題1:本題考查介詞搭配，最能凸顯出 poster 效果的介詞是without，否定介詞與前面的no相呼應(yīng)，雙重否定表肯定。
小題1:本題考查動詞短語辨析，carry out 實施， try out 嘗試， work out 解決 find out 找出（事實），查明（真相），結(jié)合上下文，wanted a chess club and a volleyball team,下文的 collect information可以得出答案是D。
小題1:本題考查動詞辨析，聯(lián)系上下文可以知道：校長同意了（agree）我們的提議。
小題1:本題考查動詞的熟詞生義，receive在此表示的是“接納”，并不是我們所熟悉的“收到”。
小題1:本題考查名詞辨析，聯(lián)系上下文，我和Jeff的工作得到了他人的認(rèn)可，心中感到自豪和滿足，故答案選擇A。
小題1:本題考查名詞，聯(lián)系上下文，由上文提到the most popular …那么用下列四個詞概括下就是Jeff的成功，故答案選擇D。

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for shoppers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! Second, never let “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third，compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands(品牌)and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for shoppers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. However, they are still of high quality. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise shoppers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials(商業(yè)廣告)，but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, will-informed shoppers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, shoppers can make a wise choice.
小題1: The author gives ________ suggestions to the shoppers in the passage.
A．ThreeB．FourC．FiveD．Six
小題2:We can learn from the passage that ____________________.
A．ordinary items are not so attractive because of the lower prices .
B．we can’t buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”.
C．the advertisers are always showing misinformation in the commercial.　
D．the quality of ordinary items can be as good as that of famous brands.
小題3:The author’s main purpose of writing the passage is to advise shoppers _________________.
A．to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands
B．how to buy ordinary things in supermarkets
C．how to make a proper decision while shopping
D．not to believe advertisements or commercials

How do you feel when you stay in hospital alone? Jenny, 13, a US student, feels bored. She knows the feeling because she has been in hospital many times herself. One day, she thought of an idea—if patients could get some books to read, they would feel better. So, from May, she and many of her friends began to collect books for hospital patients.
In six months the students collected 1,250 books at school. They decided to donate the books to the North Shore Medical Centre, a children’s hospital next door to their school. “There are books for kids of all ages, from babies up to high school level.” said Jenny.
The students put the books into “early readers”, “middle readers” and “advanced readers”. Then they wrote their best wishes to patients on bookmarks (書簽) and letters, put the books in big boxes and donated them to the hospital.
“We wrote things like, “Keep on reading!’ and ‘Hope you feel better!’,” siad John, 14, Jenny’s brother. “And we also wrote some funny things to make them laugh.”
Frank, 12, and Steven, 14, helped carry 16 large boxes of books into a car. “I think these books will make me a lot of patients feel happy.” said Frank. Steven shared his opinion. “It is really the most meaningful thing that I have ever done in my life.”
