試題分析:作者在文中講述了一個很感人的故事。她的家里有兩只小狗Zack和Sam,它們都特別喜歡和作者的女兒玩,尤其是小狗Zack, 它每晚都會陪小主人上樓去睡覺,但是Sam卻對此表現(xiàn)的不感興趣。然而在Zack不幸死去后,小狗Sam卻主動負擔起了Zack的任務。

1.C名詞辨析。A.教堂;B. 法院;C. 醫(yī)院;D. 體育場。從情理判斷孩子應該是在醫(yī)院出生,所以是在孩子出生后首次從醫(yī)院帶回家,答案選C。

2.B動詞辨析。A. 攻擊;B. 愛; C. 驚嚇; D.接近。根據(jù)后句They licked(舔) her and rubbed(摩擦)可以判斷這是小狗對女兒友好喜愛的表現(xiàn),而且后文中because it loved her so much…..也是重要提示。

3.A介詞辨析。A.反;對B. 和;C. 為 ;D. 在上。根據(jù)詞義辨析可知against有“緊靠,倚”的意思,此處指小狗在人身上蹭,以表示友好喜愛,答案選A。

4.C動詞辨析。A.給;B. 打破;C. 強迫;D. 放。根據(jù)后面的原因狀語從句because it loved her so much that it licked her over and over again可以推斷為了不讓小狗的舉動影響到女兒,作者不得不強行把Zack弄走。

5.A動詞辨析。A. 睡覺;B. 跳;C.聊天;D. 跑。此空可以用排除法排除,因為剛出生的嬰兒不會跑、跳或者聊天,故答案選A。

6.A形容詞辨析。A.更大; B.更胖;C. 更健壯;D. 更弱。從情理可知此處是指隨著孩子的長大,其他選項不符合語境,答案選A。

7.A動詞辨析。A. 走;B. 帶走;C. 滾動;D. 拉。根據(jù)上下文可知女兒會走路后,小狗Zack總會在樓梯口等著女兒,陪她一起上樓去睡覺,walk sb“步行陪某人”,其他選項不合情理,答案選A。

8.D副詞辨析。A. 因此;B.另外;C. 罕見地;D. 然而。從上文可知小狗Zack每天陪女兒上樓,小狗Sam不做這樣的事,由此可知此處是轉折關系,答案選D。

9.B形容詞辨析。 A. 最好的;B. 最壞的;C. 最長的;D.最有趣的。從情理推斷心愛的小狗死了,家人們會傷心,所以對他們來說是最為糟糕的一天,選B。

10.B名詞辨析。A. 食物;B. 床;C. 樂趣;D. 舒適。根據(jù)上文Zack would wait for her on the staircase before she went to bed, then       her to her bed可知平時都是小狗Zack陪孩子去上樓睡覺,所以此處指孩子去樓上睡覺,答案選B。

11.C名詞辨析。 A. 興奮;B. 驚訝;C. 害怕;D. 歡樂。And前后連接同一范疇的詞,所以從and前面的fear可以判斷C選項正確,指孩子沒有了小狗的陪同,獨自上樓感到孤獨害怕。

12.A動詞短語辨析。A. 站起;;B. 舉起; C. 攀登;D. 編造。根據(jù)后面小狗Sam的動作and walked to my daughter,可以判斷A選項正確。句意:在那個時候,小狗站了起來,走向我的女兒。

13.C動詞辨析。A. 注意;B. 看;C. 等待;D. 叫喊。根據(jù)上文Zack would wait for her on the staircase以及對Sam的講述可知自從Zack死后,小狗Sam就代替它負責在樓梯口等它的小主人,答案選C。

   How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters. These letters could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations---the things they bring up before our

Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words.

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk(收縮). It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communication’s equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic(國內的) business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive(行政的) ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate(候選人) the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients(客戶) over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
【小題1】What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?

A.Critical.B.Indifferent.C.Negative.D.Positive.
【小題2】With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, business people_________.

D.a(chǎn)re eager to work overseas

A.being unable to think properly for lack of insight
B.being totally out of touch with business at home
C.missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
D.leaving all care and worry behind
【小題4】According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?

(1)The half-empty coffee cups, still standing next to their plates, tell of a morning like others. And yet, that grey covering of dust that everything wears tells a different story: it tells of screams, tears, confusion, terror and blood.
(2)Now the restaurant in the World Trade Center will never again serve breakfast. And never again will all those people go there to eat or work --- those people of America whose faces have entered our hearts. So many people whose faces we associate with life and liveliness _______ tonight. So many words remain unsaid, and so much happiness has been destroyed. In their places are tear-stained faces. My generation has seen this. On Monday, a fight with my sister and a bad grade seemed to be the biggest problems in the world. Tonight, so many people across the country know that America’s pain is at its worst ever. We have read about World War II, and we have seen the black-and-white pictures. But to most students, that’s an event on a textbook page that would never happen today.
(3) After all, this was a time of peace and wealth --- the United States was powerful and successful. There would be no more wars, and we were lucky to live in such a time. But when those planes hit; when firefighters with terror on their faces ran among the parts of the buildings that had fallen; when people screamed for their family members; when history was unfolding before our eyes, in full, clear colour ---- then we knew the world had been changed.
(4) Everything that had happened in the past seemed to take on new life through September 11, 2001. And when they say this is the worst wound in American soil, I say, I thought this place was an empire. And I say, I thought this was a time of peace. And I say, I thought we were safe.
(5) Knowing how many human beings turned to ashes in a second, and seeing some jumps from the buildings, I know that my generation is growing up in a world where mankind can still be evil. But seeing those heroes risk lives among the castle-like ruins, and seeing the eager blood donors at the hospitals, my generation has learned that tears are allowed, that mankind can also be beautiful, and that the ghost of evil will never defeat the spirit of good.
