9.When you are little,the whole world feels like a big playground.I was living in Conyers,Georgia the summer it all happened.I was a second grader,but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
   It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement.As I opened the basement door,before us lay the biggest room,full of amazing things like guns,dolls,and old clothes.I ran downstairs,and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple,orange,blue and green.
"Stephanie,I just found us a project for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint."She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my house,we painted big stripes ( 條紋) of colors across the pavement (人行道).Stripe by stripe,our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic!
    The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face,I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
    My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring,she shouted,"What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors'trees,but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.
"Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
    Though years have now passed,I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.I wonder if,maybe when I get older,I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

41.What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?D
A.To introduce Stephanie to her.B.To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C.To put the materials back in the yard.D.To show his artwork to her.

A.the rainbow in the sky                     
B.the stripes on the pavement
C.something imaginative and fun

分析 文章大意:作者通過(guò)對(duì)自己童年的經(jīng)歷的描寫(xiě),說(shuō)明我們需要各種各樣的彩虹來(lái)照亮我們的人生,并使我們的夢(mèng)想多姿多彩.作者小時(shí)候開(kāi)心的畫(huà)彩虹,后來(lái)被母親要求把街道清洗干凈,作者寫(xiě)作的最終想要表達(dá)的目的之一是:父母應(yīng)該支持孩子的某些創(chuàng)造性的行為,而不是一味的否定.父母要善于呵護(hù)孩子的夢(mèng)想,不然的話,會(huì)讓孩子難過(guò)的.

解答 41.D 細(xì)節(jié)題理解.從文章中的"I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece."可以知道,作者是迫不及待地想象母親展示自己的杰作.
42.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章的"Her eyes glaring,she shouted,"What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors'trees,but this!Come inside right now!""可以看出,在媽媽眼里,作者總是惹麻煩,造城堡、爬鄰居家大樹(shù),現(xiàn)在又亂涂亂畫(huà).
43.C  詞義猜測(cè)題.從文章最后一段可以看出來(lái),在作者眼中,兒時(shí)畫(huà)的雨虹是非常美的,富有想象力,承載著夢(mèng)想和美好寄托.
44.D  推理判斷題.從文章中的"angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art."可以知道,父母要善于呵護(hù)孩子的夢(mèng)想,不然的話,會(huì)讓孩子難過(guò).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在引出話題,講完一件事情后,作者往往會(huì)表達(dá)個(gè)人感悟或提出建議等.這些體現(xiàn)作者觀點(diǎn)或思想的語(yǔ)句在閱讀時(shí)可以劃線,它們往往體現(xiàn)文章中心或者寫(xiě)作意圖,屬于必考點(diǎn),所以要仔細(xì)體會(huì).

8.For those who make journeys across the world,the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid,they say,for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed,not endured(忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild,open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane,however,there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane.The soft lighting,in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know,and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being"processed"at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer,yes,but the hours devoted to being"processed"at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder,then,that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man,however,is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holiday maker,too,with limited time to spend,patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun.speed controls people's lives; time saved,in work or play,is the important thing-or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen,riding free across the wild,open plains,were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master.

71.What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?B
A.Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B.The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.
C.The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.
D.Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
72.How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?D
A.By giving instructions.
B.By analyzing cause and effect.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By giving examples.
73.According to Paragraph 3,passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains becauseD.
A.they pay less for the tickets
B.they feel safer during the travel
C.they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D.they don't have to waste time being"processed"
74.What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A
A.They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B.They needed the clock to tell the time.
C.They preferred traveling on horseback.
D.They could travel with their master.
75.What is the main idea of the passage?D
A.Air travel benefits people and industries.
B.Train Travel has some advantages over air travel.
C.Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D.The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

14.Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Many of us invest valuable time,energy and money planning our vacations.We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us.Research proves this feeling without a doubt.Vacations help us perform better at work,improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.
Yet,despite these benefits,many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK-but not great.In order to change this,some mistakes should be avoided.A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (組成部分)•Perhaps you're planning a trip to Europe,seven cities in 10days,and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory,but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness-time to take in our new surroundings,time to be present and absorb our travel experiences.Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal,how to get from A to B,or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey.These issues may seem important,but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
Actually,vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.First,choose your travel companions wisely,because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions.Second,don't spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood.Third,shop wisely,for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.

71.Vacations
72.performance
73.quality of sleep
74.a(chǎn)ttempt
75.wrong
76.good flight deal
77.a(chǎn)dding
78.rules
79.choice
80.shopping wisely.
