Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)
A
For years I wanted a flower garden.But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins，Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight，as well as time.Often when my children were little，one of them would want something that cost too much，and I'd have to say，“Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesn't grow on trees，you know.”
Finally，all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.I wasn't sure，though.I mean，gardens do cost money.
Then，one spring morning，on Mother's Day，I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly，I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree，planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow，because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.
There was a money tree in my yard! It was true! There were dollar bills，one hundred of them，taped all over that tree.There was also a note attached: “IOU eight hours of digging time.Love，Marvin.”
Marvin kept his promise，too.He dug up a nice ten by fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools，ornaments，a trellis，a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty，just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers，I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they're right there with me.I think about what my children did for me，and I get tears in my eyes every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!
36．The author wasn't able to have a garden for many years because ______.
A．there was no space for it in her house
B．her children didn't like it in the house
C．she had no time for it with five children to raise
D．she couldn't afford the time and money
37．The underlined sentence probably means ______ .
A．there are no money trees in the world
B．they can get money easily
C．it's not easy to earn money
D．they can get some money by accident
38．The author doesn't seem to miss her children as much as before because ______ .
A．the children have grown up and don't need to be taken care of
B．she has devoted all her time to the garden
C．she is angry with her children
D．seeing the garden every day reminds her of all the children have done for her
39．The best title of the passage should be ______ .

D．My Five Children
B
Every member in your family needs to help out around the house in order to make things run smoothly.It's difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework.Home is where the school is.With one of the following suggestions，you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do a thing quite right，then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons.Unless children believe they can succeed，they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla's fifth grade teacher made every child in her class feel special.When students received less than a perfect test score，she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child's work at home.Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead.Praise your child every time he does something good or something right.If children receive praise for a job well done，it encourages them to do well the next time too.But if their efforts go unnoticed they will not bother to try so hard the next time.If you praise your child often，you will notice a dramatic improvement in your child's behavior over time.If your child completes a difficult task，reward him with a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure，they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
40．The whole text deals with ______ .
A．social education B．school education
C．family education D．pre school education

42．The underlined word “evaluate” means ______.
A．to examine the value of B．to speak in praise of

43．What can we conclude after reading the text?

C．No pains，no gains. D．Failure is the mother of success.
C
A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo,64 year old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002.On Christmas Eve,1992，Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21 year old donor.Two days before Valentine's Day in 2002，Alfred received a 19 year old heart，marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
“I'm 15 minutes older than him，but now I'm younger because of my heart，” Alfred said with a wild smile，pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters，who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition，they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.“We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak.I overdid it on all the food that tasted good，so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery.In the five years since his heart transplant，he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles，swam each day，and walked a couple of miles.He was still on medication，but not nearly as much as Alfred，who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I'm doing very well，” Anthony said.“I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal，of course，was to feel even better than his brother.But，he added，“I love my brother very much.We're very close and I'm sure we'll do just fine.”
44．This article is mainly about ______ .
A．the danger of heart transplant surgery
B．becoming young by changing a new heart
C．the effect of genetics on the heart
D．the twin brothers who received heart transplants
45．What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A．Interest in the job. B．Career goals.
C．A sense of humor. D．Love for bicycling.
46．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．Alfred's heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony's.
B．Alfred's recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony's.
C．Alfred's exercise program was better than Anthony's.
D．Alfred's new heart was younger than Anthony's.
47．What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?
A．Too much exercise. B．Diet.
C．Surgery. D．Medicines.
D
Lakes，ponds，and beaches mean summer fun and cool relief from hot weather.But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take the proper precautions(预防措施)．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning.
Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water：
At the Lake or Pond
·Don't let kids swim without adult supervision(监督)—lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and then increase in depth sharply further out from shore.
·Ponds and lakes may hide jagged rocks，broken glass，or trash.
·Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water，they should wear aqua socks or water shoes.
·Watch out for weeds and grass that could trap a leg or arm.
·Most boating accidents，particularly among teenagers，are related to alcohol.Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol，on and off the water.
At the Beach
·Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty.Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool，the beach has special dangers like currents and tides.Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions.
·Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over.
·Teach kids that if they're caught in a rip current or undertow，they should swim parallel to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help.
Whether at the lake or at the beach，teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather，especially lightning.
48．Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach?
A．Go off the water without a lifeguard on duty.
B．Go on swimming during bad weather.
C．Go off the water without checking the water conditions.
D．Call for help if caught in an undertow.

A．swim on his/her own
B．be careful about weeds and grass
C．swim with bare feet
D．drink only a little wine on the water
50．Swimming at a beach is more dangerous than in a pool because ______ .
A．there are no lifeguards at a beach
B．there are currents and tides at a beach
C．the waters of a beach are calmer
D．the waters of a pool are warmer
51．The passage is probably written for ______ .

It's time for you to go to work.Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors.“My office，Autopilot，” you command.Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your e newspaper.The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video films rather than read it.

答案：16.C 点拨：根据常理可知，应该是玛丽在孩子们睡觉前给他们讲故事。
17．C 点拨：由第一段的玛丽的工作及第二段首句分析可知，照顾这三个男孩的工作是极其“令人疲惫的”，故用tiring。
18．B 点拨：由下文的to get comfortable可知她将自己的脚放到了沙发上歇息。

35．A 点拨：因为玛丽是受雇照看这三个小男孩的，所以她承诺(promised)决不会再在工作时睡觉了。
Ⅲ.
A
答案：36.D 点拨：细节理解题。本题容易误选C项，因为第一段最后一句说到“我忙着照顾孩子没有时间来打理花园”。根据第三段可知孩子们都长大之后，“我”仍然没有花园，因为“gardens do cost money”。故选D项。
37．C 点拨：推理判断题。第二段说到作者有五个孩子要抚养，经济负担很重。每当有孩子要买太贵的东西时，她就会说这句话。据此我们可推断本句意为“钱可不会从天上掉下来”，即挣钱不容易。
38．D 点拨：细节理解题。根据第七段最后两句“(看到花园，我感到)孩子们好像就在我身边。我会想到孩子们为我所做的一切……”可知答案。
39．A 点拨：主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述的是一个关于亲情的小故事，而其中最精彩的部分就是孩子们制作了一棵“摇钱树”作为礼物送给母亲，并且帮母亲建起了一个她梦想了多年的小花园。Money Tree 贯穿文章始终，而且以它作为题目能激发起读者的阅读兴趣——这世上真有“摇钱树”吗？
B
答案：40．C 点拨：主旨大意题。从文中多次出现at home，family，housework，your child (children) 等可以看出文章主要内容是家庭教育问题。
41．C 点拨：推理判断题。在作者看来，家庭教育和学校教育一样， “Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead.”，教育应该以鼓励为主。
42．A 点拨：词义猜测题。evaluate意为 “评价”。 B项“赞扬”只是评价的一个方面，做错事肯定也要批评。C项意为“核对，核查”，多与数字有关。
43．D 点拨：推理判断题。文章最后一段说明学习就是一个 “trying and failing and trying and succeeding”的过程，因此应选“失败是成功之母”。
C
答案：44．D 点拨：主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出文章题材和主要内容。
45．C 点拨：细节理解题。由文章开头第一句 “A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo...”可以推断出幽默感是他们分享的很多东西中的一个，说明他们都很有幽默感。
46．D 点拨：句意理解题。由第一段中的 “...Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21 year old donor...Alfred received a 19 year old heart...” 可以得出答案。
47．B 点拨：细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句中 “...they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.” 可知句意：他们意识到饮食习惯有可能是造成他们心脏问题的原因。
D
答案：48．D 点拨：细节理解题。根据最后一段可知B项错误。根据“At the Beach”下面列出第一条的建议可知A、C两项错误； 根据第三条建议可知D项正确。
49．A 点拨：推理判断题。根据At the Lake or Pond 部分的建议可以得知即使在湖里或是池塘里游泳时， 孩子也要有成人监管， 不可以独自下水。
50．B 点拨：细节理解题。At the Lake or Pond 第一条建议中的第二句告诉我们游泳池中水流平缓，由At the Beach第一条建议的第二句可知海滩水流较急而且有潮汐，因而更加危险。
51．C 点拨：推理判断题。文章中多次出现your kid(s)，我们可以据此推断这则短文是告诉父母如何避免儿童游泳时发生意外。

答案：Dear Edward，
Thank you for your great help，with which I feel I have changed a lot and made great progress in English.
In the past，I didn't dare to speak English with my poor oral English.But now，I'm willing to communicate with others in English，especially some foreigners，for I can speak English more fluently.What's more，I have begun to read more and more English magazines，newspapers and other books，which is different from me in the past when I showed little interest in English and seldom read English articles.Now I have gained much confidence in English with my grade improving gradually.Thanks for your help.
I hope you'll continue to help me as much as possible and may our friendship last forever!
Yours，
Li Ming

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)
A
For years I wanted a flower garden.But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins，Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight，as well as time.Often when my children were little，one of them would want something that cost too much，and I'd have to say，“Do you see a money tree outside？Money doesn't grow on trees，you know.”
Finally，all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.I wasn't sure，though.I mean，gardens do cost money.
Then，one spring morning，on Mother's Day，I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly，I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree，planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow，because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.
There was a money tree in my yard! It was true! There were dollar bills，one hundred of them，taped all over that tree.There was also a note attached: “IOU eight hours of digging time.Love，Marvin.”
Marvin kept his promise，too.He dug up a nice ten by fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools，ornaments，a trellis，a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty，just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers，I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they're right there with me.I think about what my children did for me，and I get tears in my eyes every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!
36．The author wasn't able to have a garden for many years because ______.
A．there was no space for it in her house
B．her children didn't like it in the house
C．she had no time for it with five children to raise
D．she couldn't afford the time and money
37．The underlined sentence probably means ______ .
A．there are no money trees in the world
B．they can get money easily
C．it's not easy to earn money
D．they can get some money by accident
38．The author doesn't seem to miss her children as much as before because ______ .
A．the children have grown up and don't need to be taken care of
B．she has devoted all her time to the garden
C．she is angry with her children
D．seeing the garden every day reminds her of all the children have done for her
39．The best title of the passage should be ______ .
A．My Money Tree
B．My Pretty Garden
C．The Gift on Mother's Day
D．My Five Children
B
Every member in your family needs to help out around the house in order to make things run smoothly.It's difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework.Home is where the school is.With one of the following suggestions，you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do a thing quite right，then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons.Unless children believe they can succeed，they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla's fifth grade teacher made every child in her class feel special.When students received less than a perfect test score，she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child's work at home.Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead.Praise your child every time he does something good or something right.If children receive praise for a job well done，it encourages them to do well the next time too.But if their efforts go unnoticed they will not bother to try so hard the next time.If you praise your child often，you will notice a dramatic improvement in your child's behavior over time.If your child completes a difficult task，reward him with a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure，they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
40．The whole text deals with ______ .
A．social education B．school education
C．family education D．pre school education

42．The underlined word “evaluate” means ______.
A．to examine the value of B．to speak in praise of
C．to check up D．to help with
43．What can we conclude after reading the text?
A．Pride goes before a fall. B．Practice makes perfect.
C．No pains，no gains. D．Failure is the mother of success.
C
A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo,64 year old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002.On Christmas Eve,1992，Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21 year old donor.Two days before Valentine's Day in 2002，Alfred received a 19 year old heart，marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
“I'm 15 minutes older than him，but now I'm younger because of my heart，” Alfred said with a wild smile，pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters，who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition，they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.“We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak.I overdid it on all the food that tasted good，so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery.In the five years since his heart transplant，he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles，swam each day，and walked a couple of miles.He was still on medication，but not nearly as much as Alfred，who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I'm doing very well，” Anthony said.“I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal，of course，was to feel even better than his brother.But，he added，“I love my brother very much.We're very close and I'm sure we'll do just fine.”
44．This article is mainly about ______ .
A．the danger of heart transplant surgery
B．becoming young by changing a new heart
C．the effect of genetics on the heart
D．the twin brothers who received heart transplants
45．What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A．Interest in the job. B．Career goals.
C．A sense of humor. D．Love for bicycling.
46．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．Alfred's heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony's.
B．Alfred's recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony's.
C．Alfred's exercise program was better than Anthony's.
D．Alfred's new heart was younger than Anthony's.
47．What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?
A．Too much exercise. B．Diet.
C．Surgery. D．Medicines.

Lakes，ponds，and beaches mean summer fun and cool relief from hot weather.But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take the proper precautions(预防措施)．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning.
Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water：
At the Lake or Pond
·Don't let kids swim without adult supervision(监督)—lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and then increase in depth sharply further out from shore.
·Ponds and lakes may hide jagged rocks，broken glass，or trash.
·Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water，they should wear aqua socks or water shoes.
·Watch out for weeds and grass that could trap a leg or arm.
·Most boating accidents，particularly among teenagers，are related to alcohol.Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol，on and off the water.
At the Beach
·Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty.Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool，the beach has special dangers like currents and tides.Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions.
·Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over.
·Teach kids that if they're caught in a rip current or undertow，they should swim parallel to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help.
Whether at the lake or at the beach，teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather，especially lightning.
48．Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach?
A．Go off the water without a lifeguard on duty.
B．Go on swimming during bad weather.
C．Go off the water without checking the water conditions.
D．Call for help if caught in an undertow.
49．A child shouldn't ______ at a lake.
A．swim on his/her own
B．be careful about weeds and grass
C．swim with bare feet
D．drink only a little wine on the water
50．Swimming at a beach is more dangerous than in a pool because ______ .
A．there are no lifeguards at a beach
B．there are currents and tides at a beach
C．the waters of a beach are calmer
D．the waters of a pool are warmer
51．The passage is probably written for ______ .

It's time for you to go to work.Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors.“My office，Autopilot，” you command.Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway.You sit back and unroll your e newspaper.The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video films rather than read it.

答案：16.C 点拨：根据常理可知，应该是玛丽在孩子们睡觉前给他们讲故事。
17．C 点拨：由第一段的玛丽的工作及第二段首句分析可知，照顾这三个男孩的工作是极其“令人疲惫的”，故用tiring。
18．B 点拨：由下文的to get comfortable可知她将自己的脚放到了沙发上歇息。
19．D 点拨：无论谁说照看小孩的工作赚钱容易，显然他是没遇见这三个男孩。
20．A 点拨：由下文的I mustn't sleep可知，玛丽的眼皮越来越沉。
21．B 点拨：但她实在太疲惫了，与她的想法相反，她睡着了。
22．D 点拨：由第四段最后一句中的a sharp sound awoke her可知，玛丽已进入梦乡。第三、四段描述她的梦，故此处用dreamt。

32．A 点拨：由下文的some very burnt bread可知，此处应用smoke。
33．C 点拨：因为三个小男孩在厨房将面包烤糊了，故他们有内疚感。guilty“内疚的”。
34．D 点拨：由第三、四段玛丽的梦和下文never to fall asleep on the job again可知，此处应用asleep。
35．A 点拨：因为玛丽是受雇照看这三个小男孩的，所以她承诺(promised)决不会再在工作时睡觉了。
Ⅲ.
A
答案：36.D 点拨：细节理解题。本题容易误选C项，因为第一段最后一句说到“我忙着照顾孩子没有时间来打理花园”。根据第三段可知孩子们都长大之后，“我”仍然没有花园，因为“gardens do cost money”。故选D项。
37．C 点拨：推理判断题。第二段说到作者有五个孩子要抚养，经济负担很重。每当有孩子要买太贵的东西时，她就会说这句话。据此我们可推断本句意为“钱可不会从天上掉下来”，即挣钱不容易。
38．D 点拨：细节理解题。根据第七段最后两句“(看到花园，我感到)孩子们好像就在我身边。我会想到孩子们为我所做的一切……”可知答案。
39．A 点拨：主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述的是一个关于亲情的小故事，而其中最精彩的部分就是孩子们制作了一棵“摇钱树”作为礼物送给母亲，并且帮母亲建起了一个她梦想了多年的小花园。Money Tree 贯穿文章始终，而且以它作为题目能激发起读者的阅读兴趣——这世上真有“摇钱树”吗？
B
答案：40．C 点拨：主旨大意题。从文中多次出现at home，family，housework，your child (children) 等可以看出文章主要内容是家庭教育问题。
41．C 点拨：推理判断题。在作者看来，家庭教育和学校教育一样， “Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead.”，教育应该以鼓励为主。
42．A 点拨：词义猜测题。evaluate意为 “评价”。 B项“赞扬”只是评价的一个方面，做错事肯定也要批评。C项意为“核对，核查”，多与数字有关。
43．D 点拨：推理判断题。文章最后一段说明学习就是一个 “trying and failing and trying and succeeding”的过程，因此应选“失败是成功之母”。
C
答案：44．D 点拨：主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出文章题材和主要内容。
45．C 点拨：细节理解题。由文章开头第一句 “A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo...”可以推断出幽默感是他们分享的很多东西中的一个，说明他们都很有幽默感。
46．D 点拨：句意理解题。由第一段中的 “...Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21 year old donor...Alfred received a 19 year old heart...” 可以得出答案。
47．B 点拨：细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句中 “...they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.” 可知句意：他们意识到饮食习惯有可能是造成他们心脏问题的原因。

答案：Dear Edward，
Thank you for your great help，with which I feel I have changed a lot and made great progress in English.
In the past，I didn't dare to speak English with my poor oral English.But now，I'm willing to communicate with others in English，especially some foreigners，for I can speak English more fluently.What's more，I have begun to read more and more English magazines，newspapers and other books，which is different from me in the past when I showed little interest in English and seldom read English articles.Now I have gained much confidence in English with my grade improving gradually.Thanks for your help.
I hope you'll continue to help me as much as possible and may our friendship last forever!
Yours，
Li Ming
