解析：
這是一篇敘事性的文章，作者采用倒敘的手法，講述了英國著名聾女樂器打擊手Evelyn Glennie克服困難成功的故事，闡明了只要有激情，敢于嘗試，就能成功的主題。
36. B. 考點是：名詞詞義。
綜合整個語篇及文章最后一段 “I would encourage people not to allow…”的提示，可知作者雖身殘而志堅，挑戰(zhàn)世俗，大膽嘗試，最終獲得成功，可知最佳答案為B項。
37. C. 考點是：動詞詞義。
文中take piano lessons 為動詞搭配，表示：上(聽)鋼琴課之意，故排除其它三個干擾項。
38. B. 考點是：名詞詞義。
由下文“I was completely deaf ”；“not as a deaf musician”；“ I was totally deaf” 處可知作者年幼失聰 (hearing)。
39. D. 考點是：名詞詞義辨析。
根據文章，醫(yī)生斷言神經受損是作者耳聾的原因所在，而非產生的結果，故排除B項，A項表示：證據，C項表示：借口，均不符合文意。
40. A. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
從文中可知，作者雖患耳疾，但年紀愈長，對音樂的熱情也愈漲，再由but一詞的暗示，可敲定left為正確答案。
41. D. 考點是：名詞詞義辨析。
根據文意，作者的人生目標是要成為一名打擊樂器獨奏演員，所以D為正確答案，A項表示: 意圖，B項表示: 決定，C項表示: 諾言，均不準確。
42. B. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
由文中可知，由于聽力喪失，作者無法用耳朵去聽音樂，所以只能嘗試學會以“另類”的方式去感悟音樂，選項B恰好表示: 學習、習得之意，符合文意。
43. A. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
由上文可知，作者無法象常人一樣去聽音樂，就想出只穿著襪子不穿鞋，利用身體的震動來感知音樂，分辨音調高低。其中can與tell連用，正好表達“分辨”、“辨別”之意，為正確答案。
44. C . 考點是：名詞詞義辨析。
根據文意和句子結構可判斷，只有C項imagination (想象力)為正確答案。
45. A. 考點是：名詞詞義辨析。
根據上文, 作者聽力喪失，所以只能協調其它的感官去“聽”音樂。故A項為正確答案。
46. C. 考點是：形容詞詞義辨析
此處表達作者要立志成為音樂家，所以不難選出determine一詞，其他三項dissatisfied, astonished, discouraged因感情色彩與文章主旨明顯不符，而不能入選。
47. A. 考點是：副詞詞義辨析。
作者耳患頑疾，且又申請著名的倫敦皇家音樂學院去學習，這在當時是沒有哪個聾啞學生能夠做到的，故此題選A為宜。
48. D. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
由上下文語境，再加上銜接詞and（注意文中沒用but,說明此處表示并列，而非轉折）可推知，作者的行為自然要受到老師的反對。此處學生易誤選support一詞而造成語意前后矛盾，以致偏離主題。
49. B. 考點是：副詞詞義辨析。
從文中可知，作者大膽嘗試，抵制壓力，克服困難，最終考入皇家音樂學院，所以B項（最終地）為正確答案。
50. C. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
由第四段最后一句可知，應是作者畢業(yè)時獲得學院最高榮譽獎，其它三項不妥。
51. A. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
根據文章，作者經過不懈努力，后來成為第一位專職打擊音樂獨奏演員，再由下句“…h(huán)ad been written specially for solo percussionists.”中write一詞的同義復現，可確定上句答案為A項。
52. D. 考點是：不定代詞詞義辨析。
考查代詞詞義，根據上下文邏輯，在此作者想表達很少有人來專門為打擊音樂獨奏演員來譜曲，所以出現上文作者挺身而出，竭力為演員們來譜曲，所以此題D項為正確答案。
53. B. 考點是：連詞用法。
根據上下文邏輯，可知此處應使用表示轉折的關聯詞，選項A (however)雖然表示轉折含義，但不用做連詞，不能連接句子，故排除。所以B項為正確答案。
54. A. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
根據文意和句式結構（此句為雙重否定句）可知，mean表示：“意味著”，為最佳答案。
55. D. 考點是：動詞詞義辨析。
作者通過自身經歷勸導人們不要為別人的思想而束縛自己，故D項 (limited表示：限制)為最佳答案。

At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地點) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相鄰) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (無牽掛的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
51. What do we know about the author?
A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
B. He made a study of many farms before buying.
C. He made money by buying and selling farms.
D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
52. Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?
A. It was of good market value.
B. It was next to the highway.
C. It was in a good position.
D. It was behind a nice garden.
53. Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
A. He was afraid the owner might changes his mind.
B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
D. He was eager to become a farm owner.
54. The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ___.
A. the money the author lost in buying the farm
B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
C. the removal of the trees around the house
D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place
55. What does the author believe as important in life?
A. To own a farm
B. To satisfy his needs
C. To be free from worries
D. To live in the countryside

(1) The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive (難以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
(2) Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing. They are booked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
(3) The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addition when they feel guilty.
(4) Shopaholism seems to be harmless addiction, but it can _____. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot.
