Milk That Paid a Medical Bill
One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through
school found he had only one thin dime(10分钱）left,and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve
when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of
water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it
slowly,and then asked,"How much do I owe you?""You don't owe me anything,"she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."He said, "Then I
thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in
God and man was strong also.He had been ready to give up and quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled（感
到困惑）.They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her
rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name
of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went
down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see
her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room determined to do
his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long
struggle,the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He
looked at it;then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She
feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally
she looked,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She read these
words:"Paid in full with one glass of milk."Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy
heart prayed:"Thank You,God,that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts
and hands."Dr. Kelly gave special attention to the case mainly because
A: it was a rare disease.
B: he fell in love with the woman.
C: he was eager to distinguish himself.
D: he wanted to repay the woman for her great kindness.答案：D解析： -

A Heroic Woman
The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
______(46)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side."I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,"she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian
Nichols , 33 . He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse（法院）on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.______(47)
Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life."I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn't have a mummy",she said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from"The Purpose-Driven Life",a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph about"what you thought your purpose in life was,what talents were you given.______（48)
"I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust."Smith said.
Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her. He said he thought"I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brother",she said,"And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people."______(49)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage（报道） of the police hunt for him."I cannot believe that's me."Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,"I think you should turn yourself in.If you don't,lots more people are going to get hurt."
Eventually,he let her go.______(50)A US $ 60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols' capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible（有资格的）for that money.______(50)
A: The local police were searching for him.
B: Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.
C: Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
D: She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.
E: And the two of them discussed this topic.
F: Then she called the police.答案：F解析：史密斯是一位单身母亲，26岁，有一个女儿。由于第二段的句子反复提到了她，因此，段落第一句应该是对于她的姓名和身份的说明。
根据本文第二段最后事实的陈述，他连杀4个人，因此可以判断当地警察正在搜捕他，所以选A。
然后他们两人讨论这个话题。前句提到了“读书”和“什么是生活的目的，你具有什么才能”等问题，因此，之后街接就这个话题的讨论。
她甚至在被允许离开之前，为这个人做早饭。第五段选项之后的句子提到早饭的事情。因此，这里本句话的意思是应该相互街接。
最后一段第一句：最后，他放了她。后来，她报了警。 -
第7题：
When I was about 12 1 had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew:I was skinny,I wasn't a good student,I was boyish,I talked too loud,and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last,with great anger,I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked,"Are the things she says true or not?"
True?I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary,didn't you ever wonder what you are really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change(like being skinny),but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it.
"That's just for you,"he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself,once you hear it．But you've got to learn to listen,not to close your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true you'll know it．You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．
What can we infer from reading the passage?A.The girl benefited from her father's advic
B.The girl was very often angry with her fathe
C.The girl's father loved other people's advic
D.The girl was easily hurt by her father答案：A解析：通过句子“For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself．”可知。 -

E:I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything一what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red?
F:"Buy British"campaigns urge（鼓励）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.答案：C解析：选项C说“虽然他们坚信自己会成功，但她仍然指出农耕中所面临的许多挑战”，接下来的句子说："You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down"，意思为“一天的休息时间也没有。超市给农民施加了很大的压力，要求把价格降下去”，显然，这些句子是对选项C的内容进行解释。选项C与这些句子的连接符合语篇中概述加分析的模式。
空格前后句都是过去时态，由此推断空格处很可能出现过去时态的句子。选项A说“但是他从未考虑待在他父亲和祖父的农场”。空格前的句子说“罗宾逊，25岁，在约克郡的一个农场长大”，与答案句构成了逻辑上的转折关系。
空格前句说“在英国，农耕是一个重大的政治问题”，空格后句说“2001年那场口蹄疫危机，关闭了成千上万家农场，停止了肉类食品的出口，使公众意识到了英国农业遇到的困境”。选项F说“‘购买英国制造的东西’的运动鼓励消费者不要买更便宜的进口食品”，这是个例子，用来解释说明前句提出的观点。
空格前句说“这种全国性的关注给正在与强大的超市竞争的农民带来了希望”，选项B说“尽管大多数人会从大型超市购买食物，但是数以百计的自由市场变得越来越受欢迎”。从这两个句子所表述的意义来看，空格前句提出观点，选项B进行解释。
空格前后都是过去时态，因此空格处也应为过去时态。选项E说“我反对任何超级型号的东西―他们究竟在我们的苹果上放了什么以使它们变得又大又红？"，空格前句说“我开始去农贸市场买东西以蔑视大型超市”，与选项E之间形成意义上的对应关系。 -

A Heroic Woman
The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
______(46)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side."I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,"she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian
Nichols , 33 . He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse（法院）on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.______(47)
Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life."I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn't have a mummy",she said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from"The Purpose-Driven Life",a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph about"what you thought your purpose in life was,what talents were you given.______（48)
"I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust."Smith said.
Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her. He said he thought"I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brother",she said,"And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people."______(49)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage（报道） of the police hunt for him."I cannot believe that's me."Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,"I think you should turn yourself in.If you don't,lots more people are going to get hurt."
Eventually,he let her go.______(50)A US $ 60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols' capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible（有资格的）for that money.______(46)
A: The local police were searching for him.
B: Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.
C: Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
D: She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.
E: And the two of them discussed this topic.
F: Then she called the police.答案：B解析：史密斯是一位单身母亲，26岁，有一个女儿。由于第二段的句子反复提到了她，因此，段落第一句应该是对于她的姓名和身份的说明。
根据本文第二段最后事实的陈述，他连杀4个人，因此可以判断当地警察正在搜捕他，所以选A。
然后他们两人讨论这个话题。前句提到了“读书”和“什么是生活的目的，你具有什么才能”等问题，因此，之后街接就这个话题的讨论。
她甚至在被允许离开之前，为这个人做早饭。第五段选项之后的句子提到早饭的事情。因此，这里本句话的意思是应该相互街接。
最后一段第一句：最后，他放了她。后来，她报了警。 -

Stand away from the doors when they are closing
Don't talk loudly on a bus or subway.Chatting loudly with your friends can be annoying to others.________(49)

C:We all know that some behaviors are simply unacceptable.
D:Many people do this on subways,but it's really annoying.
E:Getting off and on in an orderly manner can save time for all.
F:Suddenly,you feel someone leaning over your shoulder reading along with you.答案：F解析：空格前句说“假如你刚在地铁车厢中坐下，阅读你刚买的一本书”，选项F 说“突然你感觉某人抖靠在你的肩上和你一道阅读”，关键词是reading，有助于我们判断它与前面的句子相关联，与enjoying that book相呼应。
空格后句说“因此，为了使旅行更愉快，我们有以下建议”。选项C说“我们都知道一些行为是完全不被接受的”，根据句义，与空格后的句子之间有逻辑上的因果关系。
空格前句说“你上公共汽车或地铁之前让乘客先下”。选项E说“有秩序地上下车可以为大家节省时间”，关键词get off, get on在这两句中都出现过，从这两个句子所表述的意义来看，空格前句提出建议，空格所在句子进行解释。
空格前两句说“不要在公共汽车或地铁上大声说话。大声地和你朋友闲谈会令其他人讨厌”。选项B说“不要在汽车或地铁上高声打电话”，显然选项B是对其前面两句内容的进一步补充说明，符合逻辑关系。
空格前句说“不要越过别人肩膀读书”，选项D说“许多人在地铁上这样做，但它真的很令人讨厌”，与后句“它使人不舒服”一同对前句之建议进行解释。而且选项D 中关键词this在前句有指代对象，与后句中it的指代对象一致。 -

Farmers' Markets
Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.________(46)
"You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,"she said."There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"
Oliver Robinson,25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire._________(47)"I'm sure dad hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice,straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young,ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson,farming doesn't offer much"in terms of money or lifestyle".Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need,while working outdoors with nature."
Farming is a big political issue in the UK._________(48)The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern spells（带来）hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.__________ (49)
"I started going to Farmers' Markets in direct defiance（蔑视）of the big supermarkets."
"________(50)It's terrible,"said Londoner Michael Samson.________(50)
A:But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land.
B:While most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.
C:While confident they will succeed,she lists farming's many challenges.
D:Young people prefer to live in cities.
E:I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything一what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red?
F:"Buy British"campaigns urge（鼓励）consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods.答案：E解析：选项C说“虽然他们坚信自己会成功，但她仍然指出农耕中所面临的许多挑战”，接下来的句子说："You don't often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down"，意思为“一天的休息时间也没有。超市给农民施加了很大的压力，要求把价格降下去”，显然，这些句子是对选项C的内容进行解释。选项C与这些句子的连接符合语篇中概述加分析的模式。
空格前后句都是过去时态，由此推断空格处很可能出现过去时态的句子。选项A说“但是他从未考虑待在他父亲和祖父的农场”。空格前的句子说“罗宾逊，25岁，在约克郡的一个农场长大”，与答案句构成了逻辑上的转折关系。
空格前句说“在英国，农耕是一个重大的政治问题”，空格后句说“2001年那场口蹄疫危机，关闭了成千上万家农场，停止了肉类食品的出口，使公众意识到了英国农业遇到的困境”。选项F说“‘购买英国制造的东西’的运动鼓励消费者不要买更便宜的进口食品”，这是个例子，用来解释说明前句提出的观点。
空格前句说“这种全国性的关注给正在与强大的超市竞争的农民带来了希望”，选项B说“尽管大多数人会从大型超市购买食物，但是数以百计的自由市场变得越来越受欢迎”。从这两个句子所表述的意义来看，空格前句提出观点，选项B进行解释。
空格前后都是过去时态，因此空格处也应为过去时态。选项E说“我反对任何超级型号的东西―他们究竟在我们的苹果上放了什么以使它们变得又大又红？"，空格前句说“我开始去农贸市场买东西以蔑视大型超市”，与选项E之间形成意义上的对应关系。 -

The Fat Problem That Men Face
It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight.Listening to them is not such a pleasure.Because the men are new at the game,they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However,women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity.Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later.There are early nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist.Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me, with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored".
Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly.Often wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals.Take my oldest brother,a former college football player,as an example.His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out,"Fat,medium or thin?" She knows the correct answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands be- hind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed and says,"Am I getting fat- ter?"His wife is expected to answer,"You look like you may have lost a few pounds."
And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal.When I go to the movies with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting.He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning.He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.Do I think he's fat?My oldest brother's daughter would not tell her father he is fat because she loves him so much that she cannot bear to upset him.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：文章第一段说看到某一年龄段的男士们为他们的体重而担心是一件有趣的事情，而听他们谈论这件事就不那么有趣了。因为这些男士们在这个问题上还是新手，他们会毫不迟疑地、没完没了地谈论发胖的问题。故选A。
文章第一段第三句话说某一年龄段的女士们不谈论发胖的问题，尤其是在既有女士也有男士的社交场合。因此，在男士面前，女士们也不会谈论此问题。故选A。
文章第二段第一句话说男士们开始为发胖的问题而担心的年龄各不相同，因此该题说男士们通常在将近四十岁的时候开始为体重的问题而担心是不正确的。故选B。
由文章第二段第四句和第五句话可推测出，过去那位记者身材纤细，因此他过去并不喝无糖的健怡可乐。而且过去他常把衬衫扎在裤子中是为了显示自己纤细的腰部，而不是为了保持纤细的体型。故选B。
文章第三段第一句话说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖的问题上已经丧失了自尊，总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此，他们还是不希望听到自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。故选A。
文章第三段说作者大哥的女儿不愿告诉父亲他很胖，原因是她想取悦父亲，以便得到自己想要的东西，比如一盘新录像带，而不是因为怕她父亲伤心。故选B。
文章最后一段提到离了婚的男士们在发胖这个问题上最令人同情，但并没有提到是因为身边没有妻子同情他们。故选C。 -

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends.She probably goes to sleep______.
A: on curled up
B: on her stomach
C: on her back
D: on her side答案：B解析：整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征，外在的和内在的，说明和科学有关。
跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知，保护自己不受到伤害，那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。 -
