【解析】(1)根據(jù)上文中的"Jennifer Loomis ... a childless couple"可知, Loomis 和她的丈夫沒有孩子,故此處指他們考慮收養(yǎng)(adopting)一個(gè)孩子。下文中的"for adoption"也是提示。故選擇C
(2)根據(jù)語境可知,網(wǎng)上搜尋是Loomis 和丈夫?qū)ふ?search)要收養(yǎng)的孩子的過程的一部分。故選擇C
(3)根據(jù)下文中的"the photos didn't really express the children"可知應(yīng)選images,指他們上網(wǎng)搜尋等著被收養(yǎng)的孩子的圖片(images)。故選擇A
(4)分析本句和前一句的邏輯關(guān)系可知,兩句之間存在語義上的轉(zhuǎn)折,故選 However, 指然而,這些圖片都不能真正地展示這些孩子。故選擇A
(5)根據(jù)前一句中的"the photos didn't really express the children"可知,這些照片沒能(failed)讓人們真正了解這些孩子。故選擇B
(6)根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知,此處指 Loomis 主動(dòng)給孩子們提供(offered) 免費(fèi)的專業(yè)攝影服務(wù)。 offer "提供"。故選擇C
(7)此處指 Loomis 給那些自愿的 (willing) 孩子提供幫助。故選擇D
(8)空處指的是上文的"Northwest Adoption Exchange",它應(yīng)該是一個(gè)負(fù)責(zé)孩子收養(yǎng)的組織(organization)。故選擇D
(9)根據(jù)下文可知, Deon 應(yīng)該是參加(attended)了這次免費(fèi)的專業(yè)攝影活動(dòng),所以他才找到了理想的養(yǎng)父母。故選擇A
(10)根據(jù)第一段中的"Jennifer Loomis, an experienced local photographer"可知,此處指由于Loomis 高超的攝影技術(shù)(skills),一個(gè)全新的、更英俊瀟灑的少年呈現(xiàn)在了照片上。故選擇B
(11)根據(jù)后文中的"Soon prospective parents ... have become Deon's parents."可知,為孩子拍照馬上(immediate)就見到了效果。permanent"長久的,永久的";immediate"立即的,馬上的";positive"積極的";adverse"反面的,不利的"。故選擇B
(12)根據(jù)上下文語境可知,此處指這對夫婦以前也看過他的舊照片,但對他沒留下清晰的(clear)印象。故選擇C
(13)此處指 Deon 被收養(yǎng)領(lǐng)回家, bring ... into "把……帶進(jìn),領(lǐng)進(jìn)",符合語境。故選擇C
(14)根據(jù)上文中的"Now Church and Vaillancourt have become Deon's parents"可知應(yīng)選 match,強(qiáng)調(diào) Deon 和養(yǎng)父母之間相互接受的關(guān)系。 match"相配的人(物),般配的人(物)"。下文的"Deon is now paired with……"亦是提示。故選擇A
(15)根據(jù)上文中的"He had been in and out of various foster homes since the age of 5"可知, Deon 從五歲開始,一直沒有找到穩(wěn)定的收養(yǎng)家庭,故此處指他在漸漸失去希望(hope)。故選擇A
(16)根據(jù)上文中的"At age 18, children no longer qualify for foster care"可知,年滿18歲的孩子不能再被收養(yǎng),故空處的語境為他們必須自己養(yǎng)活(support)自己,這對于一個(gè)16歲的孩子來說是一個(gè)殘酷的現(xiàn)實(shí),尤其(particularly)是從來沒有真正感受過家庭的幸福(happiness)的人。故選擇B
(17)參見上題解析。usually"通常";particularly"尤其,特別";specially"特別地,專門地";definitely"清楚地"。故選擇B
(18)參見第16題解析。 happiness"幸福,快樂"。故選擇B
(19)只是因?yàn)?because) Loomis 給 Deon 照了一張更好的照片, Deon 就找到了一個(gè)充滿愛意的家。故選擇D
(20)根據(jù)最后一段并聯(lián)系全文可知,此處指 Loomis 徹底改變了 Deon 和他養(yǎng)父母的人生(life)。故選擇D

【題目】閱讀理解
To develop one's taste in English,the most effective way is to read English books extensively. However, one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books,especially as a beginner.I would like to share some of my experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice,recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But I had great difficulty in understanding the novel,let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me,but rather the way Austen constructs sentences,and her way of thinking,which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel Farewell to Arms. I particularly liked his brief and lively style. So my first suggestion is,as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.
However,reading novels is not the only way to improve your English. English essays can at once inform you,entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the unique sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy(哲理) within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion—essays are indispensable.
Never follow other's opinions blindly,however famous or influential the person might be. As a saying goes,one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind,we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
(1)What made the author's first English novel hard to understand?
A.Complex conversations.
B.Not knowing the social background.
C.The old-fashioned vocabulary.
D.Sentences and Austen's thinking pattern.
(2)Which can best replace the underlined word“ indispensable”?
A.necessary
B.challenging
C.related
D.inspired
(3)What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A.Choose books that challenging us most.
B.Read books that are instructive.
C.Don't be affected by other's choices.
D.Compare books before buying.
(4)What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A.Give comments on literature works.
B.Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C.Encourage people to read more English books.
D.Recommend first-class books to English learners.

【題目】Recently there has been a heated debate on whether the university should charge a fee to the public who use its sports field. People’s attitudes toward it vary from person to person.

Many people think that universities should serve the public, not just their professors and students. In 1 opinion, universities are public assets—they should serve not only the students and faculty 2 the general public as well. If there are too many “outside” people on the campus disturbing the order, school officials should do something to control the crowds without3(demand) payment. In addition, the university has many other options to control public access4 the campus or sports field, such as giving free access cards to 5 (resident) of the closest communities, or rotating a limited number of cards between residents. Charging a fee is not a fair option.

However, opponents argue that universities are not 6(complete) open spaces for the public to use. They hold the view that charging a fee is the most effective way of controlling access and making the most value out of the university’s resources. A high fee would filter out most of the visitors who have no desire 7(use) the sports field for its intended purpose. Besides, universities and their assets are expensive investments, 8 (fund) by the government and the public, for the education of students and 9 (science) research. If members of the public 10(want) to use these facilities, which might cause stress on the university’s resources, it will make sense that they should pay a price. They also think neighboring residents have other options for recreation, such as public parks, if they do not want to pay money to use the sports field.
