阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

I ran into a local store today to pick up a few things. With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry, so I didn't take a cart on my way inside. As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby. I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line.
While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously watching each transaction (交易) on the register. The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier for a job application. When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart because they didn't have enough money. But all their items were basic necessities that they needed most. It just broke my heart to watch the couple attempt to figure out what they could do without. Somehow, they managed to whittle down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had.
After they left, I quietly asked the cashier to add those items to mine. The cashier rang everything up, and then got me a shopping cart. We put in their items and I hurried over to their car. "This is for you," I told them.
The young father just looked at me with such gratitude and thanked me. I will never forget the expression in his eyes. As I was getting into my car, they drove over. The young mother said, "Miss. thank you so much."
Tears welled up in my eyes - as they are again now, while I write this. "You are so welcome. Pay it forward some day," I replied.

On August 5, 2013, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, a well-known online company, has bought the Washington. Post for $250 million. The owner of the largest online business in the world is now also the owner of one of the most famous newspapers in the world.
Bezos has shown that newspapers are entering the Internet Age. He thinks that the present way that newspapers are trying to make money, by throwing away the pay wall, is not the best way. People have gotten used to getting their content free over the Internet; however, the pay wall is a system that prevents Internet users from reading webpage content without paying for it. He does see the dead tree version of newspapers is going away, except perhaps as a luxury item (奢侈品). People may be persuaded to pay for subscriptions (订阅) to newspapers directly on their computers.
One thing Amazon has become skilled at is designing the shopping experience for every shopper, based on his or her shopping history. The products that get displayed on everyone's front page are different from each other based on that history. For example, someone who has bought science fiction in the past, may get science fiction shown on his or her front page, and at the same time he or she can still search for any goods and buy any of the items that Amazon offers to him or her. If one used some techniques to read newspapers, one might have his or her own front page. Sports news is shown for those who read newspapers for that type of news, business news for others and so on.
Bezos will see the change of traditional newspapers from just a newspaper in a digital form to something more suitable for each reader, tailored to each reader's taste.
31. What does Bezos think of the pay wall?
A. He thinks the pay wall helps readers.
B. He hopes to throw away the pay wall.
C. He thinks using the pay wall is necessary.
D. He thinks the pay wall doesn't make money.
32. In the eyes of Jeff Bezos, newspapers____.
A. are a dead tree B. are a luxury item
C. can interest readers D. have a bright future
33. Which of the following statements is IRUE according to the passage?
A. Jeff Bezos doesn't agree with the way newspapers make money.
B. People will always be getting their content free over the Internet.
C. Each reader will see the same products on the front page.
D. Amazon is a large company selling newspapers and luxury items.
34. If someone has business news on his front page, it means______.
A. he must be a businessman
B. he did that on purpose
C. he has a big company
D. he had read business news
35. What will Jeff Bezos do with the Washington Post?

B. Change it for the Internet Age.
C. Sell it for a big price.
D. Make it become digital.

According to a Japanese study, listening to slow music that is considered to be sad can actually cause positive emotions. The researchers from Tokyo University explain that this is because sad music can remind people of romantic films or situations and these romantic feelings can make people feel happier.
The findings help to explain why people enjoy listening to sad music, said Ai Kawakami and his colleagues from Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan.
Kawakami asked 44 volunteers, including both musicians and common people, to listen to two pieces of music, one of which was considered to be sad and the other to be happy. Each participant was required to use a set of keywords to describe both their understanding of the music and their own emotional state.
The researchers explained that sad music caused opposite emotions because the participants of the study tended to think that sad music was more tragic, less romantic and less cheerful than they felt themselves while listening to it.
"In general, sad music produces sadness in listeners, and sadness is considered as an unpleasant emotion. Yet if sad music actually causes only unpleasant Emotion, we would not listen to it," Kawakami said. ''Music that is regarded as sad actually causes romantic emotion as well as sad emotion. Also, unlike sadness in daily life, sadness experienced through art actually feels pleasant, possibly because the latter does not cause an actual threat to our safety." This could help people to deal with their negative emotions in daily life, concluded the researchers.
This study contradicts (与……矛盾) previous research that people have to listen to happy music to improve their moods, but this only works if people are very clear that they're trying to make themselves happier by listening to the songs.
36. The participants of the study didn't need to_______.
A. receive some musical training
B. listen to two kinds of music pieces
C. write down their feelings of the music
D. record their emotional state
37. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Volunteers were mainly chosen from musicians.
B. Sad music actually causes only unpleasant emotion.
C. Sad music will do g/eat harm to our emotion.
D. People can also feel happy when listening to sad music.
38. The finding of the study is good news for those______.
A. loving listening to happy music
B. with positive emotions
C. with negative emotions
D. loving listening to rock music
39. The last paragraph implies that_______.
A. the latest Japanese study has been proven true
B. people have to listen to happy music to be happy
C. those listening to happy music want to be happy
D. listening to happy music may not make us happy
40. Which one would be the best title for the passage?
A. Stop listening to happy music
B. Sad music can cheer us up
C. Sadness experienced through music
D. Sad music makes us live longer
D
Lola Wang, a 28-year-old marketing officer in Shanghai, makes a six-hour trip to Shandong Province in eastern China to see her parents twice a year. "I should visit them more but having a job in the financial industry means that I have to work long hours and spare some of my personal time for work," Wang, the only child of her family, told CNN.
The problem is common among many young people in China, where the one-child policy and thirty years of economic reforms have made the traditional big family small. It's also a matter of concern for China s new leaders as they fight with the burden of supporting the growing number of elderly people. According to the Xinhua News Agency, China had about 185 million people over the age of 60 at the end of 2011. By 2050, a third of China's population will be the elderly.
A new national law introduced this week requires children whose parents are over 60 years old to visit their parents "frequently" and make sure their material and mental needs are met. It also requires that children should not give up their inheritance rights (继承权) in an attempt to escape their duty to take care of their parents. It adds that children should pay a monthly allowance (津贴) to their parents if they refuse to take care of them. Besides, the law also allows the elderly to accuse their children if they don't perform their duties well, but it does not name the process or what punishment they might face.
"It may also prove difficult to perform," said Ding Yiyuan from Beijing Yingke Law Firm. He told the Guangzhou Daily Newspaper the law fails to explain the word "frequently". He added that few elderly people are likely to accuse their own children. Some elderly people say it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.
41. Lola Wang can't visit her parents frequently because______.
A. she is busy with her job
B. she doesn't like them
C. she wants to save money
D. laws don't allow it
42. The main purpose of Paragraph I is to______.
A. tell readers how cruel Lola Wang is
B. make a summary of the news report
C. lead to the topic of the news report
D. tell readers how busy the youth are
43. That the new national law was passed shows that ______.
A. the thirty years of economic reforms have succeeded in China
B. China's new leaders care about a growing number of the elderly
C. the number of the elderly in China is rapidly increasing
D. many elderly people in China are ignored by their children
44. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that______.
A. some young children are trying not to look after their elderly parents
B. those who fail to look after their parents will be severely punished
C. the new national law can be easily carried out in practice
D. many parents will accuse their children if they don't look after them
45. Which one would be the best title for this news report?
A. Elderly people-burdens of the government
B. Young people-busy bees in China
C. Lola Wang-a busy marketing officer
D. New Chinese law-visit your parents

46. We have three children m our family and think they should learn to care for each other. This movie shows us what a friend should do. It is great for the younger kids, but the older kids won't like it at all. There are no people in the movie. It's completely from the perspective of dogs. And this movie is a short one.
47. This funny movie, directed by David DeCoteau, is about the relationship between two families. You will have a very pleasant experience if you and your kids see the movie. It is great for grandmas and grandkids while some adults think seeing the movie wastes their money and time.
48. We know bullies exist everywhere. The little boy Victor, who has a talent for singing, is a very funny character. The movie is full of humor. No wonder it turns out to be a pleasant film. My whole family love this movie. Even my husband laughed at a few parts. I suggest you efinitely put it on your list.

There are several animal species in danger of disappearing and everyone, even a kid can play a part in rescuing these animals.
50. The movie is very good. It has a good story line. The young boy is brave and smart on Christmas Day. The beginning of the movie is sad but all turns out well. However, although it was filmed in 2012, the speaking dogs with special effects were not done very well. It is too obvious that they put digital mouths on the dogs. The dogs looked as if they had false teeth.

Li Lei is one of my best friends. On the first day of our senior high school, we were told to be study partners. We have been best friends ever since.

测试题部分答案解析
完形填空
炎热的夏季会引起一些危险。如将不能照顾自己的孩子和老人留在车子里是很危险的；在空调房里要注意身体脱水，也要尽量避免喝能量饮料或绿茶。
1. A。根据后文The hot weather can ruin these experiences ...可知，作者提醒我们在炎热的天气里在户外时一定要当心。
2. B。炎热的夏季会“很快”破坏这些经历。slowly意为“慢慢地”；early意为“提早” casually意为“随意地”均不符合句意。
3. D。根据后文“who can’t look after themselves in a car”可知这八个孩子死了是因为他们在炎热的天气里“被留”在汽车里。
4. A。根据前文知道，决不要将孩子、宠物或者那些不能自己照顾自己的人留在车子里，即使是“几分钟”也不行。
5. C。“最终”你都得从办公室里出来。
6. B。夏季外面的温度应该是“高的”。
7. C。最好的办法是在你的手边放些“水”。前文也说了Make sure you drink plenty of water.
8. C。作者劝告你喝水，但不要喝能量饮料。在多数情况下，高温天气是喝能量饮料“最坏的”时候。
9. D。饮料中包含的这些物质能“导致”身体脱水。
10. B。因此要“避免”饮用这些饮料。
11. B。多数人喜欢的绿茶同样能够“充当”利尿剂，引起身体脱水。act as...意为“起……的作用”，符合上下文语境。
12. C。要记住，如果没有采取适当的措施，热天气会引起许多“危险”。本文主要讲在炎热的夏天要注意的危险。选dangers符合本文主题。
13. D。高温天气时，我们要当心小孩与老人。根据前面的并列结构可知选D，因为一般情况下，老人和小孩都是不能自己照顾自己的人。
14. C。“宠物”也是被保护的一部分。因为他们也不能照看自己，在热天里易出危险。这与第二段的So never leave a child, a pet or anyone else who can’t look after themselves in a car...相呼应。
15. B。文章主题主要是讲在夏季可能出现的危险。因此选summer。
语法填空
作者过去常常想帮助无家可归的人，给他们送吃的。但因家庭责任重，一直没有时间进行。作者的儿子了解妈妈的心思，主动在每年圣诞节给需要帮助的人提供食物。作者对此感到很欣慰。
16. responsibilities。考查词性转化。形容词responsible转换为名词responsibilities，在句中做主语，根据were可知用复数形式。
17. to consider。考查非谓语动词。动词不定式在此作定语，have sth to consider意为“有事要考虑”。
18. with。考查介词。share sth with sb表示“与某人分享某物”。
19. if。考查连词。连词if表示“是否”。
20. for。考查介词。for意为“给，对”，表示对象；cook a meal for sb意为“给某人做一餐饭”。
21. who。考查关系代词。这里是一个定语从句，先行词是人，故用who引导定语从句。
22. a。考查冠词。表示“一，一个”，用不定冠词。
23. It。考查代词。it作形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式。根据feels为第三人称单数形式，排除填“I”。
24. volunteered。考查谓语动词时态。根据时间状语In the past several years及从句的谓语动词wanted可知用一般过去时；volunteer sb for sth 意为“擅自替某人答应某事”。
25. truly。考查副词。形容词true转换为副词truly，在句中作状语，修饰blessed。注意形容词true转化成副词时要去掉字母e，再加ly。
阅读理解
A
心地善良的作者在当地一家超市帮一对年轻的夫妇买下了他们无钱购买但生活必需的物品。
26. D。细节理解题。由第一段With an important meeting to attend...可知作者由于接下来要去参加一个重要的会议，所以她没有拿购物篮子便去匆匆购物。
27. B。词义猜测题。由第三段可知这对夫妇钱不多，所以他们要从购物篮拿出一些他们可以不用购买的东西。因此 “they managed to whittle down their items...”应该是他们成功地减少了他们篮子中的物品。cut down “削减、降低”。
28. D。细节理解题。由第三段It just broke my heart to watch the couple... 可知作者在看到这对夫妇从购物篮中拿出物品时感到很伤心。
29. C。推理判断题。由第二段的最后一句这位母亲向收银员咨询工作的事可以推断出这位年轻的母亲没有工作。
30. A。写作意图题。最后一段作者写出了自己帮助这对夫妇的目的是要把助人为乐传递下去。因此我们可以看出作者和大家分享这个故事的目的应该是呼吁大家去帮助那些需要帮助的人。
B

I ran into a local store today to pick up a few things. With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry, so I didn't take a cart on my way inside. As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby. I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line.
While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously watching each transaction (交易) on the register. The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier for a job application. When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart because they didn't have enough money. But all their items were basic necessities that they needed most. It just broke my heart to watch the couple attempt to figure out what they could do without. Somehow, they managed to whittle down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had.
After they left, I quietly asked the cashier to add those items to mine. The cashier rang everything up, and then got me a shopping cart. We put in their items and I hurried over to their car. "This is for you," I told them.
The young father just looked at me with such gratitude and thanked me. I will never forget the expression in his eyes. As I was getting into my car, they drove over. The young mother said, "Miss. thank you so much."
Tears welled up in my eyes - as they are again now, while I write this. "You are so welcome. Pay it forward some day," I replied.

On August 5, 2013, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, a well-known online company, has bought the Washington. Post for $250 million. The owner of the largest online business in the world is now also the owner of one of the most famous newspapers in the world.
Bezos has shown that newspapers are entering the Internet Age. He thinks that the present way that newspapers are trying to make money, by throwing away the pay wall, is not the best way. People have gotten used to getting their content free over the Internet; however, the pay wall is a system that prevents Internet users from reading webpage content without paying for it. He does see the dead tree version of newspapers is going away, except perhaps as a luxury item (奢侈品). People may be persuaded to pay for subscriptions (订阅) to newspapers directly on their computers.
One thing Amazon has become skilled at is designing the shopping experience for every shopper, based on his or her shopping history. The products that get displayed on everyone's front page are different from each other based on that history. For example, someone who has bought science fiction in the past, may get science fiction shown on his or her front page, and at the same time he or she can still search for any goods and buy any of the items that Amazon offers to him or her. If one used some techniques to read newspapers, one might have his or her own front page. Sports news is shown for those who read newspapers for that type of news, business news for others and so on.
Bezos will see the change of traditional newspapers from just a newspaper in a digital form to something more suitable for each reader, tailored to each reader's taste.
31. What does Bezos think of the pay wall?
A. He thinks the pay wall helps readers.
B. He hopes to throw away the pay wall.
C. He thinks using the pay wall is necessary.
D. He thinks the pay wall doesn't make money.
32. In the eyes of Jeff Bezos, newspapers____.
A. are a dead tree B. are a luxury item
C. can interest readers D. have a bright future
33. Which of the following statements is IRUE according to the passage?
A. Jeff Bezos doesn't agree with the way newspapers make money.
B. People will always be getting their content free over the Internet.
C. Each reader will see the same products on the front page.
D. Amazon is a large company selling newspapers and luxury items.
34. If someone has business news on his front page, it means______.
A. he must be a businessman
B. he did that on purpose
C. he has a big company
D. he had read business news
35. What will Jeff Bezos do with the Washington Post?

C. Sell it for a big price.
D. Make it become digital.

According to a Japanese study, listening to slow music that is considered to be sad can actually cause positive emotions. The researchers from Tokyo University explain that this is because sad music can remind people of romantic films or situations and these romantic feelings can make people feel happier.
The findings help to explain why people enjoy listening to sad music, said Ai Kawakami and his colleagues from Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan.
Kawakami asked 44 volunteers, including both musicians and common people, to listen to two pieces of music, one of which was considered to be sad and the other to be happy. Each participant was required to use a set of keywords to describe both their understanding of the music and their own emotional state.
The researchers explained that sad music caused opposite emotions because the participants of the study tended to think that sad music was more tragic, less romantic and less cheerful than they felt themselves while listening to it.
"In general, sad music produces sadness in listeners, and sadness is considered as an unpleasant emotion. Yet if sad music actually causes only unpleasant Emotion, we would not listen to it," Kawakami said. ''Music that is regarded as sad actually causes romantic emotion as well as sad emotion. Also, unlike sadness in daily life, sadness experienced through art actually feels pleasant, possibly because the latter does not cause an actual threat to our safety." This could help people to deal with their negative emotions in daily life, concluded the researchers.
This study contradicts (与……矛盾) previous research that people have to listen to happy music to improve their moods, but this only works if people are very clear that they're trying to make themselves happier by listening to the songs.
36. The participants of the study didn't need to_______.
A. receive some musical training
B. listen to two kinds of music pieces
C. write down their feelings of the music
D. record their emotional state
37. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Volunteers were mainly chosen from musicians.
B. Sad music actually causes only unpleasant emotion.
C. Sad music will do g/eat harm to our emotion.
D. People can also feel happy when listening to sad music.
38. The finding of the study is good news for those______.
A. loving listening to happy music
B. with positive emotions
C. with negative emotions
D. loving listening to rock music
39. The last paragraph implies that_______.
A. the latest Japanese study has been proven true
B. people have to listen to happy music to be happy
C. those listening to happy music want to be happy
D. listening to happy music may not make us happy
40. Which one would be the best title for the passage?
A. Stop listening to happy music
B. Sad music can cheer us up
C. Sadness experienced through music
D. Sad music makes us live longer

Lola Wang, a 28-year-old marketing officer in Shanghai, makes a six-hour trip to Shandong Province in eastern China to see her parents twice a year. "I should visit them more but having a job in the financial industry means that I have to work long hours and spare some of my personal time for work," Wang, the only child of her family, told CNN.
The problem is common among many young people in China, where the one-child policy and thirty years of economic reforms have made the traditional big family small. It's also a matter of concern for China s new leaders as they fight with the burden of supporting the growing number of elderly people. According to the Xinhua News Agency, China had about 185 million people over the age of 60 at the end of 2011. By 2050, a third of China's population will be the elderly.
A new national law introduced this week requires children whose parents are over 60 years old to visit their parents "frequently" and make sure their material and mental needs are met. It also requires that children should not give up their inheritance rights (继承权) in an attempt to escape their duty to take care of their parents. It adds that children should pay a monthly allowance (津贴) to their parents if they refuse to take care of them. Besides, the law also allows the elderly to accuse their children if they don't perform their duties well, but it does not name the process or what punishment they might face.
"It may also prove difficult to perform," said Ding Yiyuan from Beijing Yingke Law Firm. He told the Guangzhou Daily Newspaper the law fails to explain the word "frequently". He added that few elderly people are likely to accuse their own children. Some elderly people say it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.
41. Lola Wang can't visit her parents frequently because______.
A. she is busy with her job
B. she doesn't like them
C. she wants to save money
D. laws don't allow it
42. The main purpose of Paragraph I is to______.
A. tell readers how cruel Lola Wang is
B. make a summary of the news report
C. lead to the topic of the news report
D. tell readers how busy the youth are
43. That the new national law was passed shows that ______.
A. the thirty years of economic reforms have succeeded in China
B. China's new leaders care about a growing number of the elderly
C. the number of the elderly in China is rapidly increasing
D. many elderly people in China are ignored by their children
44. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that______.
A. some young children are trying not to look after their elderly parents
B. those who fail to look after their parents will be severely punished
C. the new national law can be easily carried out in practice
D. many parents will accuse their children if they don't look after them
45. Which one would be the best title for this news report?
A. Elderly people-burdens of the government
B. Young people-busy bees in China
C. Lola Wang-a busy marketing officer
D. New Chinese law-visit your parents

It is great for the younger kids, but the older kids won't like it at all. There are no people in the movie. It's completely from the perspective of dogs. And this movie is a short one.
47. This funny movie, directed by David DeCoteau, is about the relationship between two families. You will have a very pleasant experience if you and your kids see the movie. It is great for grandmas and grandkids while some adults think seeing the movie wastes their money and time.
48. We know bullies exist everywhere. The little boy Victor, who has a talent for singing, is a very funny character. The movie is full of humor. No wonder it turns out to be a pleasant film. My whole family love this movie. Even my husband laughed at a few parts. I suggest you efinitely put it on your list.

50. The movie is very good. It has a good story line. The young boy is brave and smart on Christmas Day. The beginning of the movie is sad but all turns out well. However, although it was filmed in 2012, the speaking dogs with special effects were not done very well. It is too obvious that they put digital mouths on the dogs. The dogs looked as if they had false teeth.

测试题部分答案解析
完形填空
炎热的夏季会引起一些危险。如将不能照顾自己的孩子和老人留在车子里是很危险的；在空调房里要注意身体脱水，也要尽量避免喝能量饮料或绿茶。
1. A。根据后文The hot weather can ruin these experiences ...可知，作者提醒我们在炎热的天气里在户外时一定要当心。
2. B。炎热的夏季会“很快”破坏这些经历。slowly意为“慢慢地”；early意为“提早” casually意为“随意地”均不符合句意。
3. D。根据后文“who can’t look after themselves in a car”可知这八个孩子死了是因为他们在炎热的天气里“被留”在汽车里。
4. A。根据前文知道，决不要将孩子、宠物或者那些不能自己照顾自己的人留在车子里，即使是“几分钟”也不行。
5. C。“最终”你都得从办公室里出来。
6. B。夏季外面的温度应该是“高的”。
7. C。最好的办法是在你的手边放些“水”。前文也说了Make sure you drink plenty of water.
8. C。作者劝告你喝水，但不要喝能量饮料。在多数情况下，高温天气是喝能量饮料“最坏的”时候。
9. D。饮料中包含的这些物质能“导致”身体脱水。
10. B。因此要“避免”饮用这些饮料。
11. B。多数人喜欢的绿茶同样能够“充当”利尿剂，引起身体脱水。act as...意为“起……的作用”，符合上下文语境。
12. C。要记住，如果没有采取适当的措施，热天气会引起许多“危险”。本文主要讲在炎热的夏天要注意的危险。选dangers符合本文主题。
13. D。高温天气时，我们要当心小孩与老人。根据前面的并列结构可知选D，因为一般情况下，老人和小孩都是不能自己照顾自己的人。
14. C。“宠物”也是被保护的一部分。因为他们也不能照看自己，在热天里易出危险。这与第二段的So never leave a child, a pet or anyone else who can’t look after themselves in a car...相呼应。
15. B。文章主题主要是讲在夏季可能出现的危险。因此选summer。
语法填空
作者过去常常想帮助无家可归的人，给他们送吃的。但因家庭责任重，一直没有时间进行。作者的儿子了解妈妈的心思，主动在每年圣诞节给需要帮助的人提供食物。作者对此感到很欣慰。
16. responsibilities。考查词性转化。形容词responsible转换为名词responsibilities，在句中做主语，根据were可知用复数形式。
17. to consider。考查非谓语动词。动词不定式在此作定语，have sth to consider意为“有事要考虑”。
18. with。考查介词。share sth with sb表示“与某人分享某物”。
19. if。考查连词。连词if表示“是否”。
20. for。考查介词。for意为“给，对”，表示对象；cook a meal for sb意为“给某人做一餐饭”。
21. who。考查关系代词。这里是一个定语从句，先行词是人，故用who引导定语从句。
22. a。考查冠词。表示“一，一个”，用不定冠词。
23. It。考查代词。it作形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式。根据feels为第三人称单数形式，排除填“I”。
24. volunteered。考查谓语动词时态。根据时间状语In the past several years及从句的谓语动词wanted可知用一般过去时；volunteer sb for sth 意为“擅自替某人答应某事”。
25. truly。考查副词。形容词true转换为副词truly，在句中作状语，修饰blessed。注意形容词true转化成副词时要去掉字母e，再加ly。
阅读理解
A
心地善良的作者在当地一家超市帮一对年轻的夫妇买下了他们无钱购买但生活必需的物品。
26. D。细节理解题。由第一段With an important meeting to attend...可知作者由于接下来要去参加一个重要的会议，所以她没有拿购物篮子便去匆匆购物。
27. B。词义猜测题。由第三段可知这对夫妇钱不多，所以他们要从购物篮拿出一些他们可以不用购买的东西。因此 “they managed to whittle down their items...”应该是他们成功地减少了他们篮子中的物品。cut down “削减、降低”。
28. D。细节理解题。由第三段It just broke my heart to watch the couple... 可知作者在看到这对夫妇从购物篮中拿出物品时感到很伤心。
29. C。推理判断题。由第二段的最后一句这位母亲向收银员咨询工作的事可以推断出这位年轻的母亲没有工作。
