— ________.
A. By taking a number 3 bus
B. Oh, wonderful, indeed
C. I went there alone
D. A classmate of mine showed me the way
答案与解析 B 句意：——简，你参观了博物馆感觉如何？——噢，真的很棒。How do you find ...？相当于What do you think of ...？或How do you like ...？这三个句型用来询问对方对某事的感觉。本题易误选A项，考生从字面意思误以为“How do you find ...？”是“你如何发现……的？”的意思。
2．(2013·漳州七校5月四次联考)The man, whose early career was not ________ great success, has built ________ business empire after years of hard work.
A. a; a B. /; a
C. /; the D. a; /
答案与解析 A 句意：那个早年职业生涯并不成功的人在经过多年艰辛工作之后建立了一个商业王国。第一空a success一件成功的事；第二空为泛指商业王国，故用不定冠词。
3．(2013·河北保定一模)He is working harder than ever, hoping to ________ the time he wasted playing online games.
A. call up B. take up
C. make up D. give up
答案与解析 C 句意：他比以往更加努力学习，希望弥补他浪费在玩网络游戏上的时间。make up“弥补；组成；化妆”，符合句意； call up“使……想起；打电话”； take up“占据；从事”； give up“放弃”。

A. which B. why
C. where D. that
答案与解析 C 句意：所有的邻居都羡慕这个家庭。在这个家庭中孩子与父母建立了友好的关系。分析句子结构可知，先行词是the family，横线后面的从句中缺少地点状语，故用关系副词where引导定语从句。
5．(2013·石家庄二模)All we have is 24 precious hours a day and therefore we shall waste ________.
A. nothing B. none
C. neither D. no one
答案与解析 B 句意：我们所有的就是一天宝贵的24小时，因此我们什么也不能浪费。none相当于no＋前面提到的名词(hour)，故B项正确。
6．(2013·皖北协作区联考)________ the fact that many drivers are ever trained, we cannot stress too much the importance of traffic safety.
A. Thanks to B. Despite
C. As D. Although
答案与解析 B 句意：尽管事实上许多司机是曾受过培训的，但我们再强调交通安全的重要性也不为过。despite“尽管”，为介词，符合句意和句式结构；thanks to“多亏了”； as和although都是连词。
7．(2013·银川一中三模)— At the bus stop ________ the Thompsons
— Yes. Mr. Thompson, together with his wife and children ________ waiting for the bus.

答案与解析 A the Tompsons指“汤普逊一家”，作主语，谓语用复数形式，together with连接两个并列的主语，谓语与最前面的主语一致，本题第二空谓语应与Mr. Thompson一致，故谓语用单数形式。故本题A项正确。
8．(2013·江南十校三模)The best moment was ________ the Chinese player scored the winning goal.
A. if B. how
C. when D. that
答案与解析 C 句意：最好的时刻是中国选手获胜的时候。系动词was之后是表语从句，从句中缺少时间状语，故用when引导表语从句。
9．(2013·衡阳联考三)— How was it ________ they found the missing boy at the entrance of the underground
— Totally by chance.
A. after B. when
C. what D. that
答案与解析 D 句意：——他们怎么在地铁入口找到那个失踪男孩的？——完全出于偶然。How was it that ...？强调句的特殊疑问句式。
10．(2013·河南适应性测试)Camels have three eyelids to ________ themselves from the blowing sand.

A. would enjoy B. enjoyed
C. had enjoyed D. would have enjoyed
答案与解析 D 句意：如果伦敦没有那么多的烟雾，我们就会欣赏到泰晤士河上美丽的风光了。从句中的“If there hadn't been”表明这是对过去情况的假设，故选would have enjoyed。

— Oh, I'm suffering from a cold. Nothing serious ________.
A. yet B. indeed
C. though D. anyway
答案与解析 C 句意：——你今天看起来不太对劲。你怎么了？——噢，我感冒了。但是不严重。though用在句末表示补充说明，使语气减弱，意为“但是”。anyway“不管怎样”，用以表示某陈述是事实；yet“尚；还；仍然”；indeed“的确”。
15．(2013·河南郑州二次质检)— Would you go to the movies with us tomorrow

答案与解析
本文为夹叙夹议文。作者曾经是一个以自我为中心的人，但后面的转变却让其真正体会到了什么是真正的快乐，那就是对别人的关心与帮助。
16．B 根据首句“... but ...”可知，作者已经开始先考虑别人，后考虑自己，故选择B项。
17．C 根据下文提到的作者在上大学期间处事的变化，慢慢学会了关心别人，结交朋友，由此照应此处应为different“不同的”。同时与第一句中的“I have really changed.”相呼应。
18．D 根据下文提到的作者从最初到校的独来独往，到后来结交朋友，都说明了自己的变化，故用change。
19．C 根据下句的“I thought I was smarter than everyone else ...”可以看出，作者当时很自负，因此上大学最初就想获得学位，喜欢独处。因此degree“学位”，符合语境。
20．A 根据前文可知，作者当时认为自己就是最聪明的，因此就瞧不起其他人，在班里也几乎不与他人沟通交流。故talk“交谈”符合语境。
21．B 根据下文“... everyone but me had made friends ...”可知，在学期末，作者却真正感到了孤单。故此处用lonely“孤独的；孤单的”； careful“小心的”； curious“好奇的；古怪的”； guilty“有罪的”。
22．C 意识到这种情况后，作者开始有了转变，学着开始与人交流，学着关心他人，故此处表示作者开始做的尝试。argument“争论；争辩”； game“游戏”， experiment“试验；尝试”； defence“防御”。根据语境可知，C项正确。
23．B 作者开始尝试关心别人，如果别人有难，会主动相助。dare“敢于”； offer“主动提出”，符合语境。
24．D 此处为一总结性语句，对上述所做的改变进行总结。这是很大的一步，学年结束时，作者已经交了几个朋友。step“步伐；步；跨步，步骤”，符合句意。
25．C 根据前面的连词and可知，后面的为并列句，故排除B项和D项，又根据句意“他们当中两个人直到今天仍然还是我最好的朋友”。故选用人称代词them。
26．A 导致作者态度转变的更大的一个原因是作者在养老院作兼职时候的一段经历。attitude“态度”，符合语境。
27．A 一位患阿尔茨海默病的老太太成了我的朋友。friend“朋友”，符合语境。
28．B 根据上下文可知，这位老人错把作者当作自己的女儿，自然是每次见到她，都会很高兴，因此happy“快乐的，高兴的”符合语境。
29．C 根据语境可知，这位老太太的女儿从来没有来看过她，因此作者就代替了她，时常来看这位老人。故选visited“访问，探望”。
30．D 这位老太太让作者明白了让别人快乐也会给自己带来快乐的道理。explain“解释，说明”； guess“猜想”； declare“声称；宣布”； see“看见；明白；理解”，根据语境选择D项。
31．B 作者与这位老人感情深厚，老人去世，自然会伤心。homeless“无家可归的”； heartbroken“伤心的”； bad tempered“脾气不好的”； hopeless“绝望的；无助的”，根据语境可知，B项正确。
32．C 有了这些经历，作者深刻体会到自己远比以前好多了，因为她获得了很多，明白了很多道理，不是以前那个自私的人了。故better符合语境。
33．A 这些经历也是一笔宝贵的财富，作者必将永记在心。故此处选用(not) forget(不会)“忘记”符合语境。
34．D 这些经历教会了作者去关爱他人而不是光想着自己。force“强迫”； prefer“更喜欢”； order“命令”； teach“教”符合语境。
35．B 此处首尾呼应，根据第一段最后提到的“I am happy”可知，作者对自己的这种转变深感幸福，自然是喜欢现在的自己。

28．B 根据上下文可知，这位老人错把作者当作自己的女儿，自然是每次见到她，都会很高兴，因此happy“快乐的，高兴的”符合语境。
29．C 根据语境可知，这位老太太的女儿从来没有来看过她，因此作者就代替了她，时常来看这位老人。故选visited“访问，探望”。
30．D 这位老太太让作者明白了让别人快乐也会给自己带来快乐的道理。explain“解释，说明”； guess“猜想”； declare“声称；宣布”； see“看见；明白；理解”，根据语境选择D项。
31．B 作者与这位老人感情深厚，老人去世，自然会伤心。homeless“无家可归的”； heartbroken“伤心的”； bad tempered“脾气不好的”； hopeless“绝望的；无助的”，根据语境可知，B项正确。
32．C 有了这些经历，作者深刻体会到自己远比以前好多了，因为她获得了很多，明白了很多道理，不是以前那个自私的人了。故better符合语境。
33．A 这些经历也是一笔宝贵的财富，作者必将永记在心。故此处选用(not) forget(不会)“忘记”符合语境。
34．D 这些经历教会了作者去关爱他人而不是光想着自己。force“强迫”； prefer“更喜欢”； order“命令”； teach“教”符合语境。
35．B 此处首尾呼应，根据第一段最后提到的“I am happy”可知，作者对自己的这种转变深感幸福，自然是喜欢现在的自己。

Who takes part in Make A Difference Day
Anyone! Young and old, individuals and groups, anyone can carry out a volunteer project that helps others.

USA WEEKEND covers volunteers and their projects in articles and photos.
How do I get started
Look around your community. Are people hungry, homeless or ill Are parks or schools dirty or neglected No matter where you live, there's a need nearby. And on Make A Difference Day, millions of Americans are expected to roll up their sleeves to help others. You can act alone or enlist your friends, family and co workers.
You can also call the Make A Difference Day Hot Line, 1－800－416－3824, for information. Or use the ideas on this website for inspiration.
What do I do after I've selected a project
Tell others what you're doing and enlist help. Several weeks before the day, tell us about your plans in the Make A Difference DAYtaBANK, a national listing of local projects that will be viewed by interested volunteers, other people looking for good project ideas and news media looking for good stories to tell. It will only take a few minutes to post your plans in the DAYtaBANK hosted by HandsOn Network.
