请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me. Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might want to face in the years 46 . Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything. What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart? My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 . 1.A. experience B. spend C. enjoy D. shape 2.A. show B. give C. leave D. instruct 3.A. last B. first C. very D. next 4.A. upward B. into C. down D. up 5.A. sign B. scene C. scenery D. sight 6.A. interest B. instruction C. courage D. direction 7.A. failed B. discouraged C. struck D. troubled 8.A. future B. embarrassing C. obvious D. lost 9.A. last B. fly C. pass D. remain 10.A. counted B. meant C. valued D. eared 11.A. forward B. before C. ago D. ahead 12.A. But B. And C. Instead D. So 13.A. wondered B. regretted C. minded D. tried 14.A. views B. actions C. feelings D. attitudes 15.A. important B. essential C. complex D. hard 16.A. disappeared B. changed C. progressed D. advanced 17.A. sensitive B. convinced C. aware D. tired 18.A. by B. against C. on D. with 19.A. clumsy B. gentle C. absurd D. moving 20.A. none B. all C. anything D. everything

Justin’s bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated（瘪掉的）basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room. “What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.” When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack--a smaller version of his bedroom--a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin. “Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?” he asked. “I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I'm late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.” Kenny looked really worried. “Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.” He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings. “That's amazing!” Kenny said. “I owe you one.” And he dashed off to open his locker. It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.” 1.Why is Justin's room such a mess? A. He always forgets to clean it. B. He shares the room with his brother. C. He has no time to clean it. D. He never throws anything away. 2.In what way is Justin’s backpack a smaller version of his bedroom? A. He uses it as a place to store objects. B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment. C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time. D. He's had it for as long as he can remember. 3. The underlined phrase "pleaded with" means A. ignored B. asked C. pushed D. Ordered 4.How does Kenny feel toward Justin? A. Annoyed. B. Disinterested. C. Grateful. D. Angry.

After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian（平民）life. For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines（水兵）will ever have to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder（创伤后应急障碍）, or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat（打仗）. Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life. Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD. People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares（梦魇）and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life. Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veteran’s（老兵）Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison（联络） for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website. The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more. 1.One purpose of the writer in writing the passage is ________________. A. to introduce some methods to cure PTSD B. to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian life C. to recommend a website for veterans and people concerned D. to give military service men and women advice on civilian life 2.What problems will some returning soldiers and marines meet with? A. How to readjust to civilian life. B. How to get rid of mental diseases C. How to get along with PTSD patients D. How to return to school for benefits. 3.Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos? A. He’s a veteran who has just come back from a military combat. B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office. C. He’s in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs. D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines. 4.The best title for the passage is __________. A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian Life. B. The Last Assignment For All Military Persons C. How to Overcome PTSD. D. Ready for a Civilian Life?

Having driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (饵料) before heading to the lake. Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and began to fish. “Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me. Turning around, I saw a game warden (猎场管理员) with a clip-board. “Good morning,” I said, nodding my head. “Catch any fish?” he asked. “No sir, just relaxing and killing time.” “Can I see your fishing license?” I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop. “Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested. “I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden. “The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him. “Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear.” “You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face. Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction（拍卖）. I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead. After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight. Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.” On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten o’clock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing. As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block. “We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer. “50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd. “51 dollars,” yelled another man. I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction. “66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued. “100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent. “100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer. I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago! As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong. It’s the law that is wrong.” I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line. 1. Who wrote a letter to the writer telling him about the auction? A. The Department of Fish and Game. B. The game warden. C. A person unmentioned in the passage. D. The auction organizers. 2.Why did the writer walk out of the auction while it was going on? A. He realized he was unable to get back his fishing gear. B. He was too nervous to stay inside till the auction ended. C. He couldn’t bear hearing people selling his fishing gear. D. He knew the game warden was waiting for him outside. 3.What did the game warden mean by saying “It’s the law that is wrong”? A. It didn’t make any sense to prohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina. B. The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason. C. The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back. D. The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment.

根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。 Unique Tradition from UK Boxing Day This holiday, which is observed on December 26, is a unique part of the Christmas season in Great Britain, as well as other Commonwealth nations. Boxing Day comes from a tradition that began in the Middle Ages more than 800 years ago. On this day, English churches would open their ‘alms box’ and distribute its contents to needy members of the community. It was also a day for servants to celebrate the holidays with their families, having usually worked the day before. Today, Boxing Day is one of the twenty-two paid holidays received by most working Brits. Most people now spend Christmas Day with their family and reserve Boxing Day for exchanging gifts with friends. Although the government shuts down for the day, cinemas and theatres are open. Queen’s Telegram In the United States, if you make it to the ripe old age of 101 or 102, Willard Scott will wish you happy birthday on national television. In England, the queen herself will send her congratulations. This fairly new custom is known as "the Queen’s Telegram" and assures centenarians (people at least 100 years old) that they will receive a birthday telegram from the queen on their one-hundredth birthday. The telegram is so longed for by some Brits that one 98-year-old woman was recently proven to have faked her age by two years just to receive the telegram. High Tea High tea was first enjoyed by the English working class during the 1700s. This ritual (仪式) began as a practical attempt to hold off hunger pains between breakfast and supper, as eating just two daily meals was common at the time. It was called “high” tea because it was usually taken sitting on top stools in a tea shop or standing at a counter or buffet table. Today, high tea has become a more elegant and popular tradition that is practiced in fine hotels and restaurants around the world. Public Houses Visiting a pub is one of Britain’s oldest forms of entertainment. The idea for the first public houses was brought to Britain thousands of years ago by conquering Roman army. The first pubs served only wine, but after the discovery of hops（啤酒花） in the fourteenth century, pubs began to serve mainly beer and ale（麦芽酒）, as they do today. British pubs operate between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. every day except Sunday, when they must close at 10:30 p.m. The drinking age in Britain is eighteen, but fourteen-year-olds may enter a pub unaccompanied if they order a meal.
