参考答案和解析
本题考查的知识点是：上下文的衔接
本题空格上文是文章的前三段。前两段介绍了主人公格雷汉姆是制作风向标的手工艺者，他为顾客特制不同于传统设计的风向标。第三段提到，格雷汉姆做的第一个风向标引起了朋友的兴趣，也让他自己意识到了商机的存在。空格下文即第五段第一句提到，“那是五年前的事了”。与上文衔接，空格处应继续围绕格雷汉姆从事风向标的制作展开论述。与下文衔接，空格处应论述五年前的情况。因此［B］正确。其中第一句话“格雷汉姆决定把精力投入到风向标生意上”与上文论述的“发现商机”衔接紧密，后面部分出现的“15 years”与下文“five years ago”相呼应。

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary.We didn't do anything romantic;we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future.This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy : no sweet words or roses.Smart as he is,he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast , I am an outspoken（直言不讳）girl who likes to show her feelings directly .So needless to say,I often feel that he is insensitive.I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day:“If one does not love you in the way you like,it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night,I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital.He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks.After arrival,he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities（手续）.When I was put on a drip（点滴）,he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender（温柔的）voice,I had never felt so safe and comfortable.Gradually,I fell asleep.When I woke up 15 minutes later , he was still mumbling（咕浓地说）to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up.At that moment,I found love in his eyes.
Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,I refused to admit it.I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do. The next morning,I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father,understands me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.When did the writer and Andy fall in love?
A: Three years ago.
B: Two days ago.
C: On a cold winter night.
D: After a quarrel.答案：A解析：本题问的是“谁是Andy?”文章题目以及文章的字里行间都非常清楚地说明了选项D是“作者的男朋友”符合题意。
本题问的是“作者和Andy何时相爱？”文章第一句说“Yesterday was our three-year anniversary”，说明他们已经相爱了三年。
本题问的是“关于作者以下哪项正确？”文章第二段提到“In contrast , I am an out spoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly”，说明作者喜欢直接地表达她的情感。
本题是说“作者给读者讲述了两个故事以表明……”。选项B“Andy有自己表达爱的方式”与文章主题一致，即Andy自己表达爱的方式，文章中例子的作用是用来支持和论证文章主题，因此反映文章主题的选项B就是答案。
本题问的是“第三段的sullen可被哪个词替换？”sullen意为“阴沉的、沮丧的”。根据上下文我们可判断bad为正确答案。 -

Jim was eating the cakes on his way back home.When he got home,his mother asked him,"What did Dr.Jones say,my boy?"Jim answered,"He said good food is better than any medicine for my stomachache.So I went and bought some cakes instead of buying medicine."
Now Jim′s mother knew what Jim′s stomachache meant.

The Storyteller
1 Steven Spielberg has always had one goal:to tell as many interesting stories to as many people as possible.The son of a computer scientist and a pianist,Spielberg spent his early childhood in New Jersey and then Arizona.Some of his childhood memories became the inspiration for his filmmaking.
2 Even decades later,Spielberg says he has vivid memories of his earliest years,which are the origins of some of his most successful films.He believes that E.T.is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parent ' 5 1966 divorce.He commented,"It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life."Close Encounters of the Third Kind was inspired by times when the four-year-old Steven and his father would search the skies for meteors（流星）.His mother remembers,"He was scared of just about everything.When trees brushed against the house,he would jump into my bad.And that'5 just the kind of scary stuff he would put in films like Poltergeist."
3 Spielberg was 1 1 when he first got his hands on his dad'5 movie camera and began shooting short flicks（电影）about flying saucers（飞碟）and World War II battles.These homemade movies gave him a way to escape his fears.From the very beginning,he had a creative imagination.With his talent for scary storytelling, he could terrify his three younger sisters.It also made it easier for him to make friendships.On Boy Scout camping trips,when night fell,young Steven became the center of attention."Steven would start telling his ghost stories,"says Richard Y.Hoffman.Jr.,leader of Troop 294,"and everyone would suddenly get quiet so hat they could all hear."
4 Spielberg moved to California with his father and went to high school there,but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated.Both UCLA and USC film schools rejected him,so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood.Spielberg was determined to make movies,and he managed to get an unpaid, non-credit internship（实习）in Hollywood.Soon he was given a contract, and he dropped out of college.He never looked back.
5 Now,many years later,Spielberg is still telling stories with as much passion as when he was a boy.Ask him where he gets his ideas,and Spielberg will shrug."The process for me is mostly intuitive,"he says."There are films that I feel that I need to make.And it's for a variety of reasons,for personal reasons,or because I just want to have fun.Or maybe because the subject matter is cool,and I think that my kids will like it."When Spielberg was a boy,he used to be scared of_______
A:making children laugh
B:almost everything
C:a lot of money
D:his childhood memories
E:telling scary stories
F:a number of reasons答案：B解析：文章第-段第-句话是该段的主题句。由主题句“Steven Spielberg has always had on goal: to tell as many interesting stories to as many people as possible.”可知，Steven Spielberg的「标是尽可能地给更多的人讲述更多有趣的故事。故选C。
文章第二段第-句是主题句，该段主要讲Steven Spielberg的-些最成功的电影的灵瘪来源于他对小时候的记忆。故选B。
文章第三段主要讲，Steven Spielberg小时候通过给小伙伴们讲故事，交到了更多的朋友。故选D。
文章第四段讲Steven Spielberg因为成绩不好被电影学校拒绝，随后他进入了离好莱坞很近的学校并且在好莱坞获得了实习机会，最后他决定辍学，开始了他的电影之旅。本段主要讲述了他是怎样开始从事电影事业的。故选A。
由文章第二段第-句话“Even decades later, Steven Spielberg says he has vivid memories of hi earliest years,which are the origins of some of his most successful films.”可知Steven Spielberg所拍摄的-些成功的电影的灵感来自于他对小时候的记忆。故选D。
由文章第二段第五句话“His mother remembers, 'He was scared of just about every thing.’"可知，Steven Spielberg小时候几乎对所有的东西都感到恐惧。故选B。
由文章第三段第四句和第五句话可知，Steven Spielberg非常善于讲恐怖故事，他的毒事能吓到他的三个妹妹，也能因此交到更多朋友。故选E。
由文章最后-段中“There are films that I feel that I need to make.And it' s for a variety c reasons...”可知，Steven Spielberg制作电影的原因有很多。故选F。 -

Balmost everything

正确答案： A解析： 译文：斯皮尔伯格非常善于________。
Be good at sth是善于做某事的意思，原文中相对应的位置是Spielberg’s talent for scary storytelling enabled him to make friends．斯皮尔伯格善于讲恐怖故事的才能让他交到了朋友。
Talent 是才能的意思，因此同be good at 意思相近，因此E选项telling scary stories最为符合。
