第1题：
The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage(孤儿院)knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else-to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then，in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody. Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her. Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family. The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
(1).Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage，she had lived in the streets for many years.
A.T
B.F
(2).The sentence "orphanage girls could be something" means that orphanage girls could be popular and successful.
A.T

(3).Her life changed in 1985.

(4).This passage is probably taken from a novel.

根据下列内容，回答191-195题。
Mrs．Janes gave music lessons at a school．She had a good voice and enjoyed singing，except that some of her high tones sounded like a gate that had been forgotten to oil．Mrs．Janes knew her weakness well，and took every chance she could to practice these high tones．As she lived in a small house，where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family，she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time and practiced her high tones there．Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road，she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again，because she was a shy person．
One afternoon，a fast，opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her．She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed；she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face．
He stopped his car suddenly，jumped out and began to examine all the tyres carefully． Mrs．Janes didn’t dare to tell him what noise he had heard really was，so he got back into the car and drove off．
How did Mrs．Janes sing? __________A.She sang well，but she didn’t practice singing hard．
B.She enjoyed singin9，but she had a terrible voice．
C.She was a good singer，but she could not sing the high tones well．
D.She sang terribly，and she was not singer at all．答案：C解析：推断题。根据第一段“She had a good voice and enjoyed singing，except that some of herhigh tones sounded like a gate that had been forgotten to oil”可推知，她是一个好歌手，只是某些高音符唱不好。故答案为C。 -

第一篇
Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
gave a billion dollars.
She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.This woman shocked and inspired the world because__________.
A:she had managed to save so much money
B:she gave her money to African Americans
C:she gave her life savings to help others through university
D:she only spent money on cheap things答案：C解析：本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。
由文章第二段最后一句话及第三段可知，奥莎拉·麦卡迪工作很辛苦，只进行基本需 求的消费。她很努力地存钱，并且银行也给她投资的建议。
由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。
由文章第四段第四句话“After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund.”可知答案为C。
由文章最后一段最后一句话“Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people and proof that true selflessness does exist.”可知答案为C。第二篇 本篇文章主要讲述的是庞兹骗局和麦道夫骗局。 -

第13题：
DOn May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.
During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed（抑郁）.
How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!
第68题：
Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because ______.
A. she was asked to do research on mice
B. she wanted to experience loneliness
C. she was the subject of a study
D. she needed to record her life
正确答案：C

第一篇
Oseola McCarty
Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
gave a billion dollars.
She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.She managed to save so much money because________.
A:she had ironed and washed clothes all her life
B:she had worked hard,saved hard and invested carefully
C:she had opened a good bank account
D:she knew how to make money答案：B解析：本篇文章主要讲述的就是奥莎拉·麦卡迪把一生的积蓄全部奉献给了那些她并不认 识却需要帮助才能完成学业的年轻人。她的这一举措震惊、激励了全世界，得到了全社会的 认可。

由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。
由文章第四段第四句话“After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund.”可知答案为C。

第24题：
问答题Practice 7 When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true, too. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. She had not wanted a little girl at all, and when Mary was born she handed her over to the care of an Ayah, who was made to understand that if she wished to please the Mem Sahib she must keep the child out of sight as much as possible. So when she was a sickly, fretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a sickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never remembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the other native servants. And as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her crying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived. The young English governess who came to teach her to read and write disliked her so much that she gave up her place in three months, and when other governesses came to try to fill it they always went away in a shorter time than the first one. So if Mary had not chosen to really want to know how to read books she would never have learned her letters at all.正确答案：
【参考译文】
当玛丽·劳诺克斯被送到米瑟斯威特庄园,和她舅舅一起生活的时候,每个人都说她是他们见过的长相最令人不舒服孩子。这也对,玛丽有着消瘦的脸蛋、单薄的身体、薄薄的头发和一副不高兴的表情。她的头发是黄色的,由于出生在印度并且总是因为这样或那样的原因而生病,她的脸蛋也显得那么蜡黄。玛丽的父亲在英国政府中有份工作,经常很忙也时不时地生病,她的母亲是个大美人,只关心各种聚会以及和一些男人们寻欢作乐。玛丽的母亲从来没有想过要一个小女孩,当玛丽出生后,她就把她交给奶妈来照顾,奶妈知道,如果她想让女主人高兴的话,她就必须尽可能地把这个孩子带离她的视线。所以,当玛丽还是个多病、爱哭、难看的小婴孩时,她就被带离大人们的视线。当玛丽长成为一个多病、爱哭、蹒跚学步的小孩时,她还是被带离大人们的视线。除了奶妈和其他印度仆人的黑脸,玛丽从没记得见过任何熟悉的东西。因为女主人会被她的哭声打扰到而生气,所以奶妈和仆人们非常顺从玛丽,让她为所欲为。当玛丽长到6岁时,她像一头小猪那样乖戾而自私。来教她阅读和书写的年轻英语家庭女教师非常不喜欢玛丽,三个月后就放弃了这份工作,而后来试图教她的家庭教师也总是干不到第一位那么长的时间就离开了。所以如果不是玛丽自己真的想要读书的话,恐怕她连自己的名字也不会写。解析： 暂无解析
