A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (誘人的)apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,  1 a bar of chocolate if given the choice, but, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the     2   he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
3    as high as he could, but even at his tallest  4  , he was unable to touch it. He began to  5 up and down , as high as he could, at the  6  of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of .   Not giving up , he thought , if only he had something to  8 on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  9  the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and Game boy. Looking around, he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or , with luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use. He had tried everything he could think to do. Without seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk   10  . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  11  , and how he really wanted that apple .The more he  12 like this , the more unhappy he became.
However ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what he wanted .He started to say to himself . This isn’t    13 ,I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s 14   more I can do to get the apple-that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  15  our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?

小題1: A 根據(jù)前面的句子可知,男孩并不是很喜歡吃水果,因此如果要他選擇的話,他更喜歡吃一塊巧克力。
小題1: C 根據(jù)下文第50個空所在的句子中出現(xiàn)的hungry一詞可判斷,此處選擇hungrier,表示“他越看那只蘋果就越覺得肚子餓”。
小題1: B 為了夠到那只蘋果,小男孩踮起腳尖,盡可能把身體伸展到最高的程度。expand擴大,擴充,擴展;stretch伸展,舒展;swing擺動,搖動;pull拉,扯,拔。
小題1: D 根據(jù)語境可知,小男孩是站著伸手去夠蘋果,因此此處指的是身體的高度,不是力量、長度或范圍。
小題1: A 根據(jù)生活常識可判斷,既然小男孩站著夠不到蘋果,他只能開始上下跳躍。
小題1: C 每次跳到最高的時候,小男孩就伸長了胳膊去夠蘋果。at the top of在……頂部或頂端。
小題1: D 根據(jù)下文可知,小男孩最終沒有摘到蘋果。out of reach是固定短語,意為“手夠不著, 達不到”。
小題1: B 根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知,小男孩沒有放棄,他想如果自己踩在某些東西上面就能夠到蘋果了。
小題1: A 小男孩身上背著書包,可他不想弄壞里面裝的東西。break在此處表示“弄壞,折斷”。
小題1: B 沒有辦法摘到蘋果,小男孩只好失望地走開。walk away走開。
小題1: C 根據(jù)上文可知,小男孩做了很多努力,因此耗盡了力氣,覺得又累又餓。
小題1: A 此處表示他越是這樣想,就越覺得不開心。
小題1: D 根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知,小男孩開始理智地看待自己遇到的問題,覺得生氣、失望、難過等都沒有幫助,不能從根本上解決問題。
小題1: D 結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容可知,小男孩清醒地認識到自己已經(jīng)沒有其他法子可用了,蘋果也不會得到了。
小題1: A 小男孩的反省也是文章主題的升華:面對無法解決的問題,我們可以做到的就是改變自己的情感態(tài)度。

I looked at the _45_ around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and _46_ to be healthy. The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and say something to the mother. Then I was sure that they came here not because of _47_ but only for warmth.

A programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York. The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun. He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.” Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep.
The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!” This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨) unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.
The programmer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The engineer doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so what’s the answer?” Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep.
小題1:What’s the best title for the passage?

小題4:What can we infer according to the last sentence?
A.The engineer has little money with him.
B.Actually the engineer doesn’t know the answer, either.
C.The engineer is bored with programmer.
D.The engineer beats the programmer at last.

There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in theclothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally, a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness.
This type of American culture is gradually changing as man’s dress takes on greater variety  and color.Even as early as 1955,a research in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important.White—collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss.Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of  dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed,the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,while the blue-collar may be wearing a white shirt,but the importance of dress has not become less. Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.
小題1:The passage tells us that       .
A.our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity
B.the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestyles
C.our values and lifestyles are from the sign language
D.the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression
小題2:Traditionally,people usually thought that       .
A.men cared very much for clothes
B.neither men nor women showed interest in clothes
C.both men and women paid great attention to their clothes
D.women concerned greatly about what they wore while men didn’t
小題3:White-collar workers pay great attention to their clothes because       
A.they extremely concern about the impression their clothes make on their bosses
B.they know that people might judge them on the basisof their clothes
C.they want to impress and influence others
D.they don’t want to be laughed at
小題4:What does the underlined word“status”in the last paragraph mean?
