2. 参考词汇：陪读 accompany sb Studying at school
督促：urge。
一、1. C same意为“同样的”；ordinary意为“平常的”；equal意为“平等的”；confident意为“相信的；确信的”。句意为：在古代，男人和女人在法律上没有平等的权力。
2. A in trouble意为“陷入困境的”，符合句意。
3. D be willing to do…意为“愿意做某事”。前面的主语用了动词be，因此回答是“I am”。

5. A blow up意为“爆炸”，符合句意。

二、 本文记述了作者一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时，飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落，在不断延长的等待中，成人焦急、 害怕，唯独不知恐惧的婴儿在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。作者也深受启发，体验了一次孩子的享受。
16. B 根据 “High desert winds... to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴关闭所有的跑道，只留一条，故应为延时降落。
17. A 因为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。B意为“警告”；C意为“打扫，席卷”；D意为“提醒”，均不符合题意。
18. C 飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市盘旋。故应选C。A. watch用于动态的场面；B. visit意为“参观，拜访”；D. cross意为“横穿”。
19. D 根据上下文句意可知，飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆。
20. C 句意为；“我们被告知仍在座位上坐好，系好安全带，因为飞机可能有颠簸。”此处应为because引导的原因状语从句。
21. B make...pale by compison “使……相形见绌”，此处用以强调飞机在空中极不稳定。

23. B 此空前的that指的是using airsickness bags，也就是发生在飞机上狭小空间中的呕吐，因此选用narrow“狭窄的”，后面的space指的是飞机内部空间。empty 意为“空的”，secret意为“秘密的”，均不合题意。
24. A 在这种情形下本来就很难受，在飞机上呕吐使得这种难受更加强烈，此处serve意为“起……作用，用作……”。
25. A 根据后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知，人们都很紧张、 焦虑，在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的。
26. D 飞机上的焦躁不安，应该是能够很明显的被感觉到，故选clearly。
27. B 从后文中的 “he didn't know he was supposed to be afraid and worried...Those are what we grown ups have learned...”他不知道害怕和着急……，那是我们成年人……，可推测出应该是孩子。
28. D 应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受，孩子发出咯咯的笑声。
29. A 句意为我意识到孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心。
30. B 应是为他的安全担心。
31. C 成人都是从孩子时代过来的。是成人的亲身经历让他们知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和担心。
32. D 因为孩子不知道害怕，自然是在飞机的颠簸中享受坐过山车般的快乐。
33. A sat back into my seat意为坐回到座位上。
34. C 句意应为：“我坐回到我的座位上，假装真地坐上了过山车。”A项意为“几乎”；B项意为“最后”，D项意为“突然”，均不合题意。
35. B 我甚至咯咯地笑了一两次。作者应该是真的笑出了声，才让邻座的手拿呕吐袋的人懊恼。做成了某事用managed to do.

36. C 细节理解题。由My parents used to take us to hunt birds，climb trees，and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.可知，Misbah喜爱大自然。所以选选C项。
37. C 推理判断题。根据文中I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money，or whether we have a beautiful house It doesn't matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.可知，作者向往和平自由的生活。故选C项。
38. C 细节理解题。根据My only contact with my parents now is through the phone，but I hate using it. It filters out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight，hearing and touch. 可知，Misbah讨厌在电话里与父母联系，因为它只剩下了声音，而Misbah想要的是与父母面对面的交流。四个选项中只有C项能够让Misbah与父母面对面。由此判断选C项。
39. B 推理判断题。其他三个问题在上文中都有所涉及，只有B项没有。所以如果还剩一个问题，很有可能就是B项。
B【答案与解析】本文介绍了美国著名作家阿尔弗雷德·斯特朗博士及其作品的风格。
40. C 细节题。根据文章第1句One of the best-known American writers可推知。
41. D 推断题。比较文章第2段第1句中的 fifty years ago 及最后一段的第1句 almost eighty -four years old now 就可推知此题答案为D。

(二)Dear editor，
I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us(about 70%) think out parents should not accompany us studying at school since it makes us fall into the habit of dependence，we won't form the good habit of studying. What's more，it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents' work，study and rest.
While about 30% of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides，we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim，urge us to finish our task，encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying.
Yours truly，

16. B 根据 “High desert winds... to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴关闭所有的跑道，只留一条，故应为延时降落。
17. A 因为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。B意为“警告”；C意为“打扫，席卷”；D意为“提醒”，均不符合题意。
18. C 飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市盘旋。故应选C。A. watch用于动态的场面；B. visit意为“参观，拜访”；D. cross意为“横穿”。
19. D 根据上下文句意可知，飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆。
20. C 句意为；“我们被告知仍在座位上坐好，系好安全带，因为飞机可能有颠簸。”此处应为because引导的原因状语从句。

24. A 在这种情形下本来就很难受，在飞机上呕吐使得这种难受更加强烈，此处serve意为“起……作用，用作……”。
25. A 根据后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知，人们都很紧张、 焦虑，在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的。

27. B 从后文中的 “he didn't know he was supposed to be afraid and worried...Those are what we grown ups have learned...”他不知道害怕和着急……，那是我们成年人……，可推测出应该是孩子。
28. D 应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受，孩子发出咯咯的笑声。
29. A 句意为我意识到孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心。
30. B 应是为他的安全担心。
31. C 成人都是从孩子时代过来的。是成人的亲身经历让他们知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和担心。

(二)Dear editor，
I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us(about 70%) think out parents should not accompany us studying at school since it makes us fall into the habit of dependence，we won't form the good habit of studying. What's more，it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents' work，study and rest.
While about 30% of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides，we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim，urge us to finish our task，encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying.
Yours truly，
