The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read under an old willow tree. Not 1 with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath 2 me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted（倾斜的） down, 3 with great excitement, “Look what I found! ”
In his hand was a flower, and what a 4 sight, with its petals（花瓣） all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. 5 him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I 6 a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of 7 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with 8 , “It sure smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I 9 it; here, it’s for you. ”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I 10 take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and 11 , “Just what I need. ” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he 12 it mid-air without reason. It was then that I 13 for the very first time the boy was 14 .
I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun 15 I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play, 16 of the effect he’d had on my day.
I sat there and 17 how he managed to see a self-pitying woman under an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放纵的) 18 Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true 19 .
20 the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that’s mine.
　　生活中不是缺少美，而是缺少发现美的眼睛；生活中不是缺少快乐，而是缺少感受快乐的心灵。如果双目失明，我们是不是一定不快乐？如果健健康康，我们是不是一定快乐？它再一次告诉我们，快乐在心。情绪低落的作者因生活不顺而不能自拔。一位失明的小男孩，却能“看到”美丽的花朵，闻到芬芳，这让作者深有感触……
1．A．excited B．inspired
C．contented D．disappointed
【解析】选C。生活受挫，作者心情不好，I was down， 对生活不满意。be contented with“对满意”。
2．A．approached B．overlooked
C．understood D．recognized
【解析】选A。作者并不认识的一小男孩向作者走过来。从out of breath, tired可以知道。
3．A．telling B．saying
C．informing D．talking
【解析】选B。小男孩兴奋地对我讲。say 强调说话内容；tell 表示“告诉”，要接宾语，inform要接sb. of sth. ; talk 表示双向的谈话。
4．A．unique B．rough
C．bothering D．pitiful
【解析】选D。从下文“all worn－not enough rain, or too little light”可以看出。pitiful可怜的，令人同情的; 其余选项不符。
5．A．Wanting B．Demanding
C．Persuading D．Inviting
【解析】选A。作者并没有心情讲话，只想让男孩走开不要打扰她。
6．A．presented B．adjusted
C．forced D．delivered
【解析】选C。作者无心看那凋谢的花，只好强装出笑脸，移到另外一个位置。请赏析force之动感和small之神韵, 作者把词用绝了！
7．A．declining B．accepting
C．panicking D．quitting
【解析】选D。由下文男孩仍然“sat next to my side”可知，他并没有离开。

13．A．observed B．confirmed
C．noticed D．concluded
【解析】选C。因他看不到作者的手，故不能直接放到作者手里。正是男孩高举的这一动作，才让作者注意到他是一个盲人。notice无意察觉到; observe是带有某一目的的观察; confirm是对所预测事情的证实和确认; conclude是从对某事的论述中得出结论。
14．A．strange B．blind
C．deaf D．unimaginable
【解析】选B。最后一段第一句也有提示。
15．A．once B．after
C．as D．since

16．A．unaware B．unbelievable
C．regretful D．regardless
【解析】选A。男孩心里只想到这美丽而散发着香味的花应该与人分享，而并未意识到这对于情绪低落的作者的影响有多大。B、C两项都不与of搭配；据语境可知小男孩是没在意其行为对我的影响，所以regardless of也排除。
17．A. doubted B. felt
C. found D. wondered
【解析】选D。男孩失明却能“看到”美丽的花朵，能与一个情绪低落的人分享，这确实让作者感到诧异而又想弄个明白。
18. A. embarrassment B. depression
C. happiness D. effort
【解析】选B。男孩又是如何知道我陷于低迷的痛苦呢？这都是让作者纳闷的事。depression沮丧，抑郁。embarrassment“尴尬”；happiness /effort用在这都不合语境。
19. A. sense B. hearing
C. sight D. ability
【解析】选C。男孩失明，却看到美丽。或许这正是上天恩赐于他的真正的视力吧。
20．A．In B．From
C．Before D．Through
【解析】选D。作者深有感触。男孩虽盲，心灵却能洞察一切；作者虽能看得见，而心灵是盲目的。站在男孩的角度来分析，正是通过男孩的眼睛，作者才得以看到问题并不在于客观事物本身，而是在于自己的心灵。in the eyes of“在某人看来”; from 从眼睛本身, 作者不是从男孩的眼睛里看到，而是从男孩的视角来看世界，通过“男孩看待事物的做法”深有感悟。before 不合题意。

Ⅴ. 阅读理解
Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores(杂事), or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying “Do your chores now. ” you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for him when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing
about starting chores, just say, “If chores aren’t done by 4 p. m. , here are the consequences. ”Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don’t argue or fight with them, just say, “That’s the way it’s going to be. ”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores aren’t done by 4 p. m. , then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that’s going to be your loss. ”On the other hand, when dealing with
homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.
If a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him, make no bones about it；he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones — even if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.
1. According to the passage, it seldom happens that ______ .
A. kids turn a deaf ear to their parents’ requests
B. parents’ directions sound like a broken record
C. children are ready to follow their parents’ directions
D. parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids
【解析】选C。细节理解题。注意题干中seldom表否定。从文章开头两句可知孩子们通常不理会父母的要求。
2. When the kid is doing his homework, parents ______ .
A. should provide him with a good learning environment
B. can do whatever they like
C. can stay aside watching TV
D. must switch off the power
【解析】选A。细节理解题。从第一段可知“在孩子做作业时, 家长要关掉所有的电器给孩子创造一个良好的学习环境”。D项“关掉电源”与文章内容不符。
3. It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .
A. parents should take off their headphones when trying to have a talk with their children
B. it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents
C. parents shouldn’t give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect
D. kids’ purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control
【解析】选C。推理判断题。从第二段最后两句可判断选项C正确。
4. The main idea of the passage is ______ .
A. that respecting each other is more important than anything else
B. how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents
C. that children should make choices and decisions on their own

Dear Liu Mei,
I’m writing to apologize to you. As you know, last week we had a quarrel about the activity of New Year’s Day, and at that time, I was so terribly rude to you that you were greatly hurt. Since then, I ’ve been thinking about what happened last week and regretting for it. I shouldn’t have said those words. What a shame! Now I’m writing to you that it was all my fault and I am sorry to have caused you so
much pain. In addition, I want to say our friendship is too valuable to lose over a silly argument, so I will greatly appreciate being given a chance to make an apology. Please forget about it and forgive me about what I have done to you! It is earnestly hoped that you will accept my sincere apology.
Looking forward to your reply as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

In his hand was a flower, and what a 4 sight, with its petals(花瓣) all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. 5 him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I 6 a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of 7 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with 8 , “It sure smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I 9 it; here, it’s for you. ”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I 10 take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and 11 , “Just what I need. ” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he 12 it mid-air without reason. It was then that I 13 for the very first time the boy was 14 .
I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun 15 I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play, 16 of the effect he’d had on my day.
I sat there and 17 how he managed to see a self-pitying woman under an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放纵的) 18 Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true 19 .
20 the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that’s mine.

Ⅴ. 阅读理解
Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores(杂事), or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying “Do your chores now. ” you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for him when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing
about starting chores, just say, “If chores aren’t done by 4
p. m. , here are the consequences. ”Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don’t argue or fight with them, just say, “That’s the way it’s going to be. ”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores aren’t done by 4 p. m. , then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that’s going
to be your loss. ”On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.
If a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him, make no bones about it；he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones — even if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.
