年少的時(shí)候，我們心目中可能有各種各樣的英雄形象，讓我們激動(dòng)、崇拜并仿效；等我們慢慢長(zhǎng)大，才發(fā)覺真正的英雄其實(shí)就在我們身邊，他（她）們默默無(wú)聞，無(wú)私奉獻(xiàn)，就像文章中這位母親。
【小題1】該句句意為“但我承認(rèn)2000年那個(gè)星期天對(duì)我而言苦樂參半�！�
【小題2】作為單身母親，我總是不由自主想到自己的缺點(diǎn)。tend to do意為“傾向于”。

【小題5】該句句意為“他們從不無(wú)理地抱怨�！�
【小題6】但作為母親，有多少事情我想為他們做卻做不到啊。wish后面的賓語(yǔ)從句用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，表示難以實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望。
【小題7】我只是希望孩子們能夠理解（我的無(wú)奈）。
【小題8】從后面的to start breakfast可知，我悄悄走進(jìn)廚房。
【小題9】花瓶里裝著一打紅玫瑰，表示容器中裝有什么東西，只能用contain。
【小題10】從下文內(nèi)容可知，18歲的兒子給母親寫了一封短信，所以此處指的是字跡。
【小題11】該句句意為“短信的內(nèi)容是”，read在此處意為“內(nèi)容如下”。
【小題12】母親的時(shí)間表安排的很滿，但還是請(qǐng)了一天假帶兒子去見兒子心目中的英雄。
【小題13】根據(jù)句意可知上下文之間是因果關(guān)系，所以用并列連詞so。
【小題14】on與名詞或動(dòng)名詞連用，表示“一……就……”。
【小題15】T恤衫上印著兒子崇拜的英雄的形象。
【小題16】比賽后，兒子當(dāng)然要索取英雄的簽名。
【小題17】母親一直陪伴著兒子直到凌晨一點(diǎn)鐘。until引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。
【小題18】該句句意為“我過了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才意識(shí)到，誰(shuí)是真正的英雄�！�
【小題19】true真正的；actual實(shí)際的；imaginary想象的；visual視覺的。

For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical(熱帶的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it droops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.
People often have a quiet, peaceful time ---perfect for a leisurely(悠閑的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.
They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels were only built in the last 25 years. Now jet planes make it possible to fly to for a weekend from Tokyo. Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.

| A．given by people who like to travel |
| B．a(chǎn)ttracting a lot of travelers |

| D．liked by both the Japanese and Americans |
| A．to swim in the quiet water |
| B．to see the tropical plants |
| C．to see the sunset |
| D．a(chǎn) leisurely walk along the beach |
| A．White sand beaches. |
| B．Waving palm trees. |
| C．Tall hotels. |
| D．The Diamond Head Mountain. |
| A．the scenery nowadays is not too different from the original beauty. |
| B．it's not quite easy to see the original beauty, because some of the scenery is almost hidden by tall hotels. |
| C．it is easy to see the original beauty, but only by taking jet airplanes. |

Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failures in career made him a bad-tempered and disappointed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily engaged in tidying up their new home, the lights suddenly went out and they were forced to stop work. Terry regretted to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a bad mood. Just then he heard light,hesitand（猶豫的）knocks on his door that were clearly heard in the quiet night.
“Who’s it?”he wondered. Terry didn’t know anybody in the new city, and this was the moment he especially hated to be disturbed. He went to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, asking in a shy voice,“Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor.”“NO,”answered Terry rudely. He shut the door.“What a nuisance!”he grumbled（嘟囔）over it with his wife.“No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to borrow things. What’ll be the next? How bothering!”
He was angry about it when the door was knocked at again. He opened it and found the same little girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles. She said, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to give you these.”Terry was struck by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said,“Thank you and your grandma. God bless you!”
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his failure in life. It was his coldness and harshness（刻�。﹚ith other people. The person who had cheated him in life was actually nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred（使模糊）by his cold mind.
63.Terry decided to move to another city because___________.
A.he wanted to earn more money there
B.he found it more challenging to live in a new place
C.he didn’t like the place where he lived
D.he thought he should change his job

A.the neighbor would often borrow things from him later

C.she was too young to play with candles
D.he was cheated at that time
65.It can be concluded that Terry realized that he used to be_________.

Blogs allow readers to post comments. There were millions of blogs out there, so I 36 expected anyone to read mine, 37 respond. But almost immediately they did. Twelve messages were 38 after my first entry. I went to the library five times that day—each time there were more.
The next morning I couldn’t wait to get up and hurry to the library. 39 I told my story. It gave structure and a purpose to my day.
For so long I’d been unable to 40 in the real world, afraid of rejection or pity or scorn(輕蔑). 41 here it was safe. This 42 with people on the other side of the screen, many on the other side of the world, was 43 me back to life again.
One particularly cold Tuesday I opened my 44 to see, among emails from bloggers 45 how I was surviving the snow, one saying: “New York Times Journalist Trying to Contact You.” Ian Urbina had discovered my blog 46 when researching an article on people living in their 47 in the U.S. exchanged emails and later he called me up. I hadn’t spoken to 48 for months but, as rain streamed down the glass 49 , the words came. I had been living in the car for almost nine months.
The article 50 on the front page. I didn’t know until I opened my computer. There were emails from people around the world. For almost a year on one had known I 51 existed but now here were hundreds wishing me well. They said they were 52 for me.
Now every time I pressed “Check Mail”, there were more messages. I watched the numbers of the visitors counter on my blog 53 by the hundreds. These were people at their computers all over the world. I felt as of I was viewing a miracle unfold(展開).
Over the next week, in libraries and in the car 54 under lamp posts at night, I wrote my papers. I had notepaper spread 55 the dashboard(儀表盤). And every morning in the quiet of the lane, I wrote for my life.
