1．(2013·东北三省四市联考二)It was ________ hard work, but completing it gave me ________ deep sense of satisfaction.
A. the; / B. the; a
C. /; a D. a; the
答案与解析　C　句意：这份工作不好做，但完成它给我带来了深深的满足感。hard work为不可数名词，在语境中并非特指，故不用冠词； a sense of“一种……感”，为固定搭配。a sense of satisfaction“满足感”，符合语境。故答案选C。
2．(2013·长春第一次调研)— Is this Mr. White's office, Mary?
— Yes, ________.
A. all right B. it doesn't matter
C. after you D. help yourself
答案与解析　C　句意：——玛丽，这是怀特先生的办公室吗？——是的，您先请。此处表示出于礼貌，让别人先进， after you“您先请；请先走。”all right“好吧”； it doesn't matter“不要紧”； help yourself“请随便用；请自便”。
3．(2013·北京海淀区二模)It is reported that the Voice of China Season Ⅱ ________ to air on Zhejiang TV this coming summer vacation.
A. schedules B. is scheduled
C. had scheduled D. had been scheduled
答案与解析　B　句意：据报道，《中国好声音》第二季被安排在这个即将到来的暑假于浙江卫视播出。在题干中， schedule与the Voice of China Season Ⅱ之间是逻辑上的被动关系，由此可以排除A项和C项；根据句中的is及语境可知，D项时态不符，故排除；D项为一般现在时的被动形式，符合句意。故答案选B。

A. whenever B. whatever
C. whichever D. whoever
答案与解析　A　句意：无论何时我问你问题，你似乎都有备而答。根据“I ask you a question”可知，该从句中缺状语成分。B、C、D项都不能作状语，只能引导让步状语从句，不合题意。故A项正确。

答案与解析　D　句意：只有有票的观众才被许可进入体育馆去观看周杰伦的演唱会，所以很多粉丝都被拒之门外了。A、B、C三项均可用“sb. be allowed/permitted/agreed to do sth.”结构，但“the stadium”表示地点，故可排除；sb. be admitted to＋地点名词意为“某人被允许进入某个地方”，符合语境。故答案选D。

答案与解析　C　句意：尽力记住他人的姓名和爱好，那表明你关心他们。look up to“仰慕；尊敬(某人)”；worry about“担心……”；care about“关心；在意”；look after“照顾；照看”。根据语境可知，C项正确。
8．(2013·呼和浩特二调)Many of the one-family children are so accustomed to ________ that they react violently when they hear something different.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·安徽卷)
When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金会), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “It's a charity (慈善机构) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true，” Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true — so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，” explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.
年仅19岁的索菲亚成立了“许愿”基金会，用来帮助那些身患重病的孩子们去实现他们的愿望。
36．Sophia found out about Make-A-Wish because her best friend had ________.
A. benefited from it
B. volunteered to help it
C. dreamed about it
D. told the author about it
答案与解析　A　事实细节题。根据第一段第二句“But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.”可知，当Sophia的朋友受益于此基金会时，她才意识到它的重要性。
37．According to Sophia, Make-A-Wish ________.
A. is an international charity
B. was understood by nobody at first
C. raises money for very poor families
D. started by drawing the interest of the public
答案与解析　A　事实细节题。根据第二段第一句“Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization ...”可知，“许愿”基金会是一个国家范围内的慈善机构。
38．What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3?
A. He has been a policeman since he was seven.
B. He gave people the idea of starting Make-A-Wish.
C. He wanted people to help make his dream come true.
D. He was the first child Make-A-Wish helped after it had been set up.
答案与解析　B　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Chris是一个身患重病的孩子，他的愿望是成为一名警察，于是大家想方设法帮助他实现了梦想，由此“许愿”基金会成立，故其成立的最初原因是对Chris的帮助。
39．Which of the following is true about Make-A-Wish volunteers?
A. They are important for making wishes come true.
B. They try to help children get over their illnesses.
C. They visit sick children to make them feel special.
D. They provide what is necessary to make Make-A-Wish popular.
