She said this man was the only 54 person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very 55 to her. He always 56 her with kindness and always gave her a piece of candy. His name was Angelo—was this my father？

After 3 times calling with no answer replies， I 53 got him on the phone. He was so 54 that when I asked for his home address he was too 55 toremember it.

I had never jumped out of a plane before. I was not a thrill seeker， and I disliked 41 . But I had decided that I would 42 to skydive. I volunteered to be the first in the group to jump.

Many Chinese young people are discovering the excitement of skateboarding， and skating ramps（斜坡）are being built in some parks. Those fashionable（时尚的） 41 who live in 42 China also have a chance to 43 a different kind of boarding —snowboarding when the winter 44 puts a stop to most outdoor games.
There is so much 45 for winter sports in China that the number of people taking part is expected to grow by ten to twenty times in just five years， 46 between 50 and 100 million by this year.

56 ， snowboarding， like all winter sports， is still very expensive. 57 ， it probably will not be long before the other 58 areas of China such as Sichuan， Xinjiang and Yunnan are developed， and as more equipment becomes 59 ， prices will almost certainly 60 . So who knows？ Soon we may all be able to have a go at the hottest sport for cold weather.

“ 55 ， a German turned his head and as if looking around for someone he knew， grasped my hand and 56 his watch in it. I was surprised for a moment. Out of all theAmerican soldiers nearby he 57 me，”he continued.
“He took 58 of the situation. Knowing that someone was to take everything from him， that German soldier chose not to have it stolen but to give it as a 59 to someonehe selected. Me.”

Pericles said， twenty-four centuries ago：“Come， gentlemen， we sit too long on insignificance.”We do， indeed！ Here is one of the most interesting stories that Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick ever told—a story about the battles won and 41 by a giant（巨樹）of the forest：
On the slope（斜坡）of Longs Peak lies the 42 of a huge tree. Naturalists tell us that it 43 for some four hundred years. It was a seedling（幼苗）when Columbus landed at San Salvador， and half 44 when the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth. During the course of its long life it was struck by 45 fourteen times， and the endless 46 of four centuries thundered past it. It 47 them all. In the end， 48 ， an army of beetles（甲虫）attacked the tree and leveled it to the 49 . The insects ate their way through and 50 destroyed the inner strength of the tree by their 51 but constant attacks. A forest giant fell 52 before beetles so small that a man could easily kill them between his forefinger（食指）and his 53 .
Arent we all like that battling giant of the 54 ？ Dont we manage somehow to survive the rare storms and lightning 55 of We， only to let our hearts be 56 by little beetles of worry—little beetles that could be killed between a finger and a thumb？

答案与解析
（一）本文作者从其父亲在黑人居住区推销保险时尊重黑人、不对黑人抱偏见，从而在其去世后还被一位黑人怀念的经历，得到了人生的经验，那就是从不评判种族的优劣，不抱偏见和友好待人。
41. C 从第一段最后一句可以看出，作者的妈妈来到了美国;他爸爸后来才在哈莱姆（美国纽约的黑人居住区）推销保险。
42. A从下一句的selling policies和下一段中的They dont buy insurance可以看出，他最终进入了保险业。
43. D 从后文的Give me Harlem可以看出，能够将Harlem这个地盘交给作者父亲的只能是他的老板。同事没有这个权利;刚入行的保险推销员也不可能有秘书。
44. A 由背景知识，Harlem是纽约的黑人居住区可知，或由第三段的not to look down upon the black可知，选black。
45. C 后面两句话，都是作者父亲的心理活动，所以应该是他在想或在思考。
46. B作者的父亲请求老板将哈莱姆销售区域交给自己。
47. B他拿到哈莱姆地区之后，就在那里推销（sell）保险。
48. D从后文作者在电视（电台）节目中谈起、回忆他的父亲可知，他的父亲1994年去世了。
49. A在节目中，作者给观众（听众）讲述 （told） 他父亲的故事。
50. C作者的父亲经常教他们不要有偏见（open-minded），不要瞧不起（look down upon）黑人。
51. D由最后一段的第一句（The letter made me ...）可知，是收到一位75岁的妇女的来信（letter）。
52. C作者收到的是信，那就应该是写信（write）了。
53. B由下一句的come to dinner at their house可知选house。
54. D从第一段的种族歧视、第三段的父亲教我们不要看不起黑人可以看出，作者的父亲是唯一一个去过她们家吃饭的白人。最后一段中她对待白人的态度，也有提示。
55. A从下句的treated her with kindness和gave her a piece of candy可知他对她很好。
56. B从下文他总是给她糖果，可知他对她很好。
57. C从上下文可以看出，作者父亲很多年以前平等对待黑人的做法，被老妇人记忆至今，所以这封信使作者感动得哭了。
58. A上文说，作者的父亲是去过她们家吃饭的唯一的白人，所以应该是他对她的家人很好。
59. B本句的意思是，她对白人的态度，建立在她小时候对她很好的那个白人身上。
60. D总结全文，作者通过这次经历，学到了一个人生的经验，那就是：不要评判种族的优劣，不抱偏见和友好待人。
（二）作者希望我们不仅对我们身边的人好，而且要对我们的环境也要好。她号召我们从身边的小事如坐公交车或走路等作起都可以为保护环境做出贡献。
41. A 因“善待别人”与“忘记去善待……”是转折关系，故选A项。
42. B 由下然Global warming is quite a big issue ... 可知，是对“环境”不友好。
43. C 根据常识，导致温室气体滞留在地球大气层，从而使地球温度上升、冰川融化的直接原因应是“污染”。“人口（增多）”和“交通（如车的尾气）”是造成大气污染的原因。
44. D 由前文的“温室气体滞留在地球大气层”和下文的“融化冰川”可知，全球的温度“提高”。“降低”和“控制”与事实不符，“改变”不精准，太笼统，也不一定是上升。
45. A 全球的温度提高，融化冰川，会造成极冷或极热等极端的“反常”天气。
46. B 我们可以做简单的事情来保护地球，“阻止”动物的灭绝。
47. D 文首提出要对环境友好，第二段讲污染的危害，本段讲我们可以做些小事来保护地球，使地球成为“更适合”居住的地方。
48. C在you（你）和future generations like your future grandchildren（像你未来的孙子等后代）之间，应是你的“孩子（children）”。
49. B 二氧化碳的排放会“促成，导致”气候危机。
50. A上句说二氧化碳的排放导致气候危机，所以我们需要“采取行动”来减缓或甚至除去这个难题。注意：表示“采取措施”的take measures /steps中，measure /steps是复数，而take action中的action只能用单数。
51. D前后是递进关系。句意：我们现在需要采取行动来帮助减缓“甚至”摆脱这个问题。
52. C 由上句中的many ways可知，这是其中的一些“方法”。
53. B句中this指代“轮流开车、坐公交、骑自行车、步行”，这些都是为你“节省”油和钱的。
54. A根据上文bike， or walk及下文I cant walk可知，选A项， walk。
55. C由上文“如果我不能步行”可知，作者就“乘坐”公交车。
56. A 从上文来看，作者是环保者，作者对“纽约市决定使用混合动力公交车”应是非常“高兴”。
57. D 作为一个环保者，应是鼓励亲友“减少”二氧化碳的排放。
58. D 由前面的條件句“如果每个人都做点什么来共同帮助（减少排放）”可知，我们就能“起到重要作用”。
59. C 由WWW .... 可知这是一个网址，故选C项。
60. B 句意：感谢大家的阅读，感谢你们让我分享，感谢关心。
（三）由于为梦想打拼，作者和好朋友分开了，以为朋友去了英国，再也见不到了。作者突然想到通过网络搜索发现朋友依然在同一国家，于是马上找到原来的电话号码，拨通之后两个人都特别激动，觉得生活太美妙了，这是一个值得庆贺的一个时刻。
41. B 由前文“这是一个值得庆祝的日子，因为我和迈克尔联系上了”可知，之前“失去了联系”，第二段首句We have lost contact since ... 也有提示，故选B项。
42. B 句中It指前句内容，失去联系一年后又得以见面这回事，真是太妙啦！棒极了！
43. A 由后面的“我突然想到一个主意”，可知原来在网上是“无目的地”搜索。
44. D由前后“想起Michael”“见到Michael”可知，本句句意为：既然Ben可以在网上“找出”我的秘密，我也一样可以。

60. C 由“把他们扶起来“可知，是当“跌倒”的时候，即当他们失败的时候，这种关系就会让他们振作起来。
（十九）本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述11岁的小女孩Ruby Kate帮养老院的老人实现愿望的故事。
41. D 选项：interesting 有趣的;shocking 震惊的;amusing 好笑的;amazing了不起的;令人惊叹的。帮助养老院的老人实现愿望，这是一件“了不起的”事。
42. C选项：studies学习;walks散步;goes去;plays玩。由上文可知她妈妈在当地的一家养老院工作可推断，她常同妈妈一起“去”。
43. A选项：noticed主要到;heard 听到;watched 观看;felt感觉到。由下文可知，Ruby Kate注意到養老院的Pearl看着窗外。
44. B选项：annoyed 烦恼的;sad伤心的;lonely 孤独的;disappointed失望的。根据下文，Pearl因为负担不起请人照顾她的宠物狗，只得让人把狗带走，可推测出Pearl很“伤心”。
45. A选项：led带领;sold卖掉;ordered 命令;controlled控制。Pearl看着自己的狗被新主人领走（lead away）。
46. D选项：looked 看;searched 搜寻;observed观察;asked问。由下文的discovered。可知，Ruby Kate四处“询问”。
47. C选项：manage设法做成;expect预计;afford承担得起;agree同意。据常识，请人照顾她的宠物狗是需要费用的，被迫人带走了，应是“负担”不起这个费用。下文are unable to afford也有提示。
48. C选项：thought认为; recognized认出;learned了解;confirmed确认。由also可知，通过四处询问，不但“发现了（discovered）”，而且也“了解到了（learned）”。
49. A选项：smallest最小的;easiest 最容易的;lightest最轻的;purest最纯的。根据空后的luxuries可知，老人们连“最小的”奢侈品也负担不起。
50. B选项：knew知道;worried担心;assumed 猜想;wondered想知道。根据后文的they were not able to provide可知Amanda“担心（worry）”老人们会要她们买不起的东西。
51. B选项：Therefore 因此;Instead相反的是;Besides此外;Anyway不管怎样。结合上文的things they were not able to provide，和下文的chocolate bars， McDonalds fries， trousers，可知，这些东西与担心的恰恰相反。
52. C选项：simply 简单的;severely严重的;properly合适的;slightly稍微的。根据句意，但是，他们的愿望却是巧克力，麦当劳薯条，大小“合适的（proper）”裤子。
53. D选项：car汽车;computer 电脑;house房;prayer祈祷。由even just a可知，是较前文提到的chocolate bars， McDonalds fries， trousers更不用花钱的东西，只有D符合。
54. A选项：wishes愿望;dreams梦想;requests请求;demands要求。根据上文的make the residentswishescome true可知是实现了他们的“愿望”。

56. B选项：Advised建议; Inspired激励;Refreshed使恢复精力;Reflected折射。由下文的the good local people of Harrison responded可知人们被这个故事所“激励（inspire）”。
57. D选项：loyally 忠诚地;violently 猛烈地;enormously巨大地;enthusiastically热情地。由下文的 ... their goal in a month可知当地的好心人“热心地（enthusiastically）”募捐。
58. A 选项：collect筹集;make赚钱;save节省;store储存。她们希望筹集（collect）$5，000。
59. B选项：missed错过;hit打击，达到;scored得分;set設定。根据上文hoping to ... $5，000可推断出，她们一个月就“实现了（hit）”目标。
60. D选项：happiness幸福，快乐;honesty诚实;modesty谦虚;kindness善良。文章讲述的是Ruby Kate帮养老院的老人实现愿望的故事，所以此处句意为她把“善举（kindness）”当做自己的爱好。
