Tommy，an only child，had 　3　 been happy， cooperative， and an excellent student. How could I make his father and mother 　4　 that his recent failing grades 　5　 a brokenhearted child's reaction to his respected parents' separation and possible 　6??？ Tommy's mother came in and 　7　 one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Then the father 　8　 and was apparently surprised to see his wife. Then pointedly ignored each other. As I gave a detailed 　9　 of Tommy's behavior and schoolwork，I prayed for the 　10　 words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. 　11　 somehow the words wouldn't come. I found a crumpled (弄皺的)，tear-stained 　12　 stuffed(塞)in the back of Tommy's desk. Writing covered both sides，a single 　13　 scribbled (亂寫)over and over. Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy's mother.She read it and then without a word handed it to her husband .He 　14　. Then his face softened.

I also couldn't keep back tears， but 　18　 seemed to notice. In this way I used the words to 　19　 that family. On the sheet of the yellow copy paper 　20　 with the painful outpouring of a small boy's troubled heart， it said. “Dear Mother...Dear Daddy...I love you...I love you...I love you.” 語篇解讀：本文描述了一個即將破碎的家庭，在灑滿兒子眼淚，同時充滿對父母的愛 的字條的召喚下夫妻重歸于好的故事——文章從另一個角度詮釋了什么是家庭。 1.A.satisfying 　　　　　　　　　　 B.exciting C.disappointing D.surprising 解析：根據(jù)本句的 failing schoolwork 可知此處應是disappointing behavior。從常 識來看，父母分居往往是導致孩子學習成績下降、行為變壞的原因。 答案：C 2.A.the others　　　　　　　　　 B.the other C.another one D.each other 解析：句意：雙方都不知道我給他們的對方也打了電話。由主語neither parent 可 知應該是“兩者中的另一個”，所以應該選B項；another one 意為“(三者以上)另 外一個”。注意上下文信息暗示。由后文第三段第二句“Then the father 　8　 and was apparently surprised to see his wife.”也可得出答案。 答案：B 3.A.never 　　　　　　　　　　　 B.rarely C.always D.usually 解析：由本段第二句老師的“為難”可知。Tommy 給人的印象總是快樂的、合作 的、優(yōu)秀的。由上下文邏輯關(guān)系可知，此空處應為含有肯定意義的詞，usually語氣 相對有點弱。 答案：C 4.A.hope 　　　　　　　　　　　 B.believe C.promise D.trust 解析：句意：我怎么使他的父親和母親“相信”他近來成績下滑“代表”這孩子對 父母分手和可能離婚的一顆破碎的心呢？可知此處應用believe。trust相當于believe in，意為“信任”，不符合語境。 答案：B 5.A.stood for 　　　　　　　　　　 B.looked for C.cared for D.made for 解析：stand for“意味著，代表，象征”；look for “尋找”；care for“喜歡，照 料”；make for“向……移動，有利于，促使”。由前后文的邏輯關(guān)系可知，A項 符合。 答案：A 6.A.happiness　　　　　　　　　 B.cruelty C.selfishness D.divorce 解析：根據(jù)常識來判斷。和separation 相對應的詞應是divorce。B、C兩項與文意 不相符。從常識可知，父母的分居以至于離婚是導致孩子心碎的主要原因。 答案：D 7.A.got　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.took C.possessed D.seated 解析：句意：Tommy 的母親進來了，坐在我放在桌邊的一把椅子上。take a chair 相當于take a seat/sit down/seat oneself，意為“坐下”。seat 的賓語只能是人。A、 C兩項意思錯誤。由后邊的定語從句 I had placed near my desk 可知，此處應為 “坐下”。 答案：B 8.A.reached　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.sat C.arrived D.went 解析：句意：父親來了，見到妻子也頗感意外。arrive“到達”，為不及物動詞； reach作“達到”講時，是及物動詞，要帶賓語，不符合語境。由then 和下文was apparently surprised to see his wife 可知是“父親”的到來。 答案：C 9.A.account　　　　　　　　　　　 B.record C.comment D.paper 解析：此處的含義是“一個詳細的敘述”。account “(關(guān)于事件、人物等的)報道、 敘述、描寫”。comment“評論，評注，解釋”，不符合句意。家長來了，老師當 然應該首先介紹學生在學校的表現(xiàn)。 答案：A 10.A.common　　　　　　　　　　 B.exciting C.mistaken D.right 解析：“我”想說些“合適的”話，讓他們意識到他們的所作所為對孩子造成的影 響，但終于沒有說出這樣的話。right “合適的，恰當?shù)摹?，相當于proper； common words“共同語言”；exciting words“激動人心的話”，不符合語境要 求。老師把家長叫來的目的就是為了說服他們管管孩子。 答案：D 11.A.So　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.And C.But D.Then 解析：從前后兩句的邏輯關(guān)系可知，此處應為轉(zhuǎn)折語氣。 答案：C 12.A.letter　　　　　　　　　　 B.sheet C.message D.schoolwork 解析：句意：“我”發(fā)現(xiàn)了一張皺巴巴的滿是淚痕的紙塞在Tommy 的抽屜里。 sheet“一張(紙)”。message“口信”，不符合語境要求。后文的“On the sheet of yellow copy paper”也有提示。 答案：B 13.A.word　　　　　　　　　　 B.article C.phrase D.sentence 解析：由文章最后一段可知，所寫的內(nèi)容是“一個句子”，而非“單詞”“文章” 或“詞組”。 答案：D 14.A.cried　　　　　　　　　　 B.laughed C.frowned D.smiled 解析：句意：“我”默默地展開這張兩面都寫滿了“同一句話”的紙，把它給了 Tommy 的母親，她讀過后一言不發(fā)，又遞給她的丈夫，他“皺了皺眉”?！鞍? 眉”表達了父親的不理解。其他選項不符合語境要求。此句為一轉(zhuǎn)折句，父親先是 皺眉，然后表情開始緩和了。 答案：C 15.A.which　　　　　　　　　　 B.as if C.what D.when 解析：然后他的表情開始緩和了，他仔細看了那些寫在紙上的話語，仿佛那就是未 來的生活。從語法結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，for 缺少賓語，后面的句子缺主語。此處是what引 導的賓語從句作介詞for 的賓語。 答案：C 16.A.reached for　　　　　　　 B.hunted for C.kept off D.searched for 解析：句意：最后他仔細折起了那張紙，把手“伸向”妻子張開的手。她揩去“眼 中”的淚，對丈夫笑了笑。reach for “伸手去夠……”；keep off“避開，不接 近”；hunt for，search for 意為“尋找”。由下文可知，受兒子的感染，父親內(nèi)心 已受到觸動，決心和妻子重歸于好。 答案：A 17.A.ears 　　　　　　　　　 B.eyes C.head D.nose 解析：眼淚當然是從眼中掉下來的。根據(jù)常識可得出答案。 答案：B 18.A.both　　　　　　　　　 B.neither C.either D.none 解析：句意：“我”也抑制不住自己的眼淚，但他們似乎都沒有留意到。從連詞 but可知，此處應是一個否定意義的代詞。none是三者以上，不符合語境。從前后 邏輯關(guān)系來看，他們沉浸在握手言歡的喜悅之中，無暇顧及老師的情感。 答案：B 19.A.reunite　　　　　　　　　 B.unite C.satisfy D.help 解析：句意：“我”以這種方式使這個家庭重新組合在一起。reunite意為“重新團 結(jié)、聯(lián)合在一起”。B、C兩項不符合語境要求；D項語氣太弱。此處，用reunite 一詞，為故事畫上了一個完美的句號。 答案：A 20.A.lined　　　　　　　　　　 B.impressed C.written D.covered 解析：在那張紙上“覆蓋”的是一個小男孩心靈的傾訴。此處為過去分詞短語作后 置定語。covered with 意為“覆蓋著……”；lined with 意為“和……連接在一 起”；impressed with意為“對……印象深刻，被……感動”；紙不能被寫，所以C 項錯誤。covered表達出孩子對愛的呼喚，對愛的渴求。 答案：D Ⅲ.閱讀理解 Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too，US researchers reported on Tuesday. They found that when people listened to their favorite music，their blood vessels (血管)dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing，or taking blood medications. “We have a pretty impressive effect，”said Dr.Michael Miller，director of preventive cardiology (心臟病學) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. “Blood vessel diameter improved，”he said.“The vessel opened up pretty significantly.You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise.”A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins. When blood vessels open up more，blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝塊) that cause heart attacks and strokes.“We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health，”said Miller，who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans. Miller's team tested 10 healthy，non-smoking men and women，who were told to bring their favorite music.They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function. Compared to their normal baseline measurements，blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music.Listening to music they disliked，blood vessels narrowed by six percent，Miller said. Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly.“I asked myself what other things make us feel good，besides calories from dark chocolate of course.Music came to mind.It makes me feel really good，”he said. Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important as what pleases each individual. 語篇解讀：這是一篇科普類文章，主要介紹了美國研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)音樂對人們的健康起 到了很重要的作用。 1.According to the passage，which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up？ A.Taking exercise.
