After the group arr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ived and got __40__ comfortably, drinks were __41__. Normally, the head waiter would be in charge of wine service. __42__， the manager asked me to serve that afternoon. I had __43__ done wine service, nor had I ever served a group of twelve.
I arranged 12 wine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )glasses on the tray and went to the table.

文章大意：作者在饭店中给贵宾服务时不慎 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )失手，经理在处理完僵局后非但没有指责，反而悉心传授服务秘诀。作者得到了客人的谅解，对经理的敬佩之情油然而生。
36．A. welcome　　　　　　　 B. feed
C. invite D. please
答案：D　上一句提到服务员每天都与顾客打 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )交道，出现问题时，服务员有能力用某种方式让事情顺利进行，由此可知让顾客满意是服务员的职责。please“使满意”。
37．A. waiter B. cook
C. servant D. director
答案：A　第一段的开头部分明确提到作者是“服务员”，此处选A与之相呼应。
38．A. group B. number
C. family D. class
答案：A　根据下一句的开头部分以及下一段的开头部分可知前来就餐的是一个非常重要的“团体”。
39．A. taken up with B. made up of
C. added up to D. recognized as
答案：B　be made up of表示“由……组成”，本句的意思是“这个团体是由本市时尚界的重要人物组成的”。
40．A. introduced B. satisfied
C. seated D. dressed
答案：C　上一段提到这个团体来到饭 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )店是为了吃午餐，所以此处表示的是他们舒服地“就座”后。A项在文章中没有信息支持；B项与本句中的comfortably搭配不合理。
41．A. bought B. sold
C. ordered D. got
答案：C　这个团体来到饭店舒适地就座 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后，“点”好了饮料。此处的order表示“点(饭菜等)”。前两项都不符合常识；根据下文可知他们当时还没有拿到饮料，所以D项错误。
42．A. Therefore B. However
C. Besides D. Though
答案：B　上一句提到正常情况下，领班负责酒类服务，本句提到经理让作者在那天下午为客人服务，由此可推断出此处表示的是转折关系。
43．A. often B. once
C. never D. little
答案：C　本句后半部分提到作者也从未给 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )12个人的团体提供过服务，而且本句后半句是倒装结构，由此可知前半部分表示的同样是否定意义，即作者“从未”进行过酒类服务。
44．A. set B. broke
C. cleaned D. shook
答案：A　上一句提到作者把1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2个酒杯放在托盘上并朝餐桌走去，这里是把其中一个酒杯“摆放”在第一位顾客的面前。打破酒杯是后来发生的事情，因此B项错误；C、D两项不符合常识。　　21*cnjy*com
45．A. got B. caught
C. forgot D. lost
答案：D　本句后半部分提到6个酒杯掉在了地上，由此可知作者当时没有握紧，所以使用lost。
46．A. stood B. lay
C. kept D. stayed
答案：B　根据常识可知酒杯打破后碎了，这里用lay表示“保持某种状态”。如果选择C项，需要加be动词；D项表示“停留”，语意不恰当。
47．A. manager B. guest
C. man D. woman
答案：D　本段中间部分提到6个酒杯掉在了一位年轻女士的头上，所以作者多次向这位“女士”道歉。
48．A. took over B. came to
C. gave up D. rushed against
答案：B　经理闻讯后迅速“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )赶来”帮助作者进行清理。take over表示“接管”；give up 表示“放弃”，rush against表示“与……碰撞”，都不符合语境。
49．A.repeatedly B．regretfully
C．impatiently D．angrily
答案：A　上一段最后一句提到作者多次向那位 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )女士和团体中的其他人道歉。本句叙述的是这个团体原谅了作者，由此可知女士“反复地”告诉作者没有关系。2·1·c·n·j·y
50．A.hear B．tell
C．change D．learn
答案：D　此处是经理在向作者传授经验，显然是让作者从中吸取教训，“学”到知识。
51．A.apology B．excitement
C．nervousness D．carelessness
答案：C　经理告诫作者不要有“紧张”和失望的表现，过错和事故时有发生。作者的过失已经发生，因此D项不正确。
52．A.nose B．face
C．head D．hand
答案：C　根据本句中的confident一词可知经理鼓励作者昂“首”挺胸。
53．A.behaved B．respected
C．visited D．understood
答案：B　虽然作者一时失手打碎了几个酒杯，并 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )冒犯了其中一位重要顾客，可是经理并没有指责她，而是迅速挽回了局面，并向作者面授经验，由此可推断这位经理非常受人“尊重”。
54．A.new B．famous
C．terrible D．close
答案：D　上文中提到女士和这个团体的其他人员 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )原谅了作者的失误，本段中提到饭店经理在附近地区颇受尊重，由此可推断经理和这个团体的关系十分“密切”。B项在文章中没有信息支持。
55．A.calm B．comfortable
C．special D．possible
答案：A　经理的声望以及同团体之间的密切关系让事态“平静”下来，并因此得到了团体对作者的宽恕。

(2014·安徽·D篇)
Should we allo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic(经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的)and do not like change.
Although we have to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move_things_forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
文章大意：本文论述了在一些城市的历史性区域是否应该建造一些新的建筑的话题。
56．What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A．Some of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
答案：A 　推理判断题。从第一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第三句的“Not all historical buildings are attractive.(并不是所有的历史性建筑都是有吸引力的)”可知答案。
57．Which of the following is true according to the author
A．We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
答案：C 　推理判断题。从第三段的“I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in , but the same can be said of some old buildings too”可知答案。2-1-c-n-j-y
58．By “move thing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “________.”
A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．choose new architectural styles
D．respect people's feelings for historical buildings21*cnjy*com
答案：C 　词义猜测题。由下一句话“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )If we always reproduced what was there before , we would all still be living in caves(如果我们总是重复以前的建设，我们还一直生活在洞穴中)”可知，上一句话意为：改进建筑风格是建筑师和计划者的责任。故选C项。
59．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To warn that we should end up living in caves.
C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
答案：D　 主旨大意题。本文在开头就提出了中心话题：是否我们应该允许在城市的历史性区域建造一些新的大楼？然后展开论述。故选D项。

Some people make ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t with paint, and others use pencil or clay(粘土). But Italian artist Maurizio Savini prefers to use bright pink gum—after it has been chewed.
Savini make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s huge sculptures(雕塑) of bears and even people out of used chewing gum. Each sculpture requires thousands of pieces of gum.
“I like to use c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hewing gum because it seemed to me a material that can be used in many ways compared with those used by the traditional arts such as painting，”Savini says.
How does he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do it The process is a lot like working with clay. “I work the chewing gum when it is warm and shape it with a knife，”says Savini. Then, he puts a chemical onto each gum sculpture to make the gum stay in place.
Savini's sticky ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) art has been shown in cities like London, Paris, and Rome, where he lives today.
Savini isn't th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e only artist to work with gum. His pink sculptures have inspired artists all over the world to get creative with the sticky matter.
London artist Be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Wilson paints small paintings onto flat pieces of chewed gum he finds stuck to streets and sidewalks. In Canada, Jason Kronenwald uses different colored gum to make portraits of famous people.
Kronenwald s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eldom chews gum himself. Instead, his friends help chew gum for him while he's working. “At times it can make me disgusted (令人作呕的)，but I just pay attention to the colors I need and get the sculpture going，” he says.
In America，Jami ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Marraccini's art depends on color, so he tests different kinds of gum before using them. To find out what color the chewed gum will become once hardened, he lets it age for up to six months.www.21-cn-jy.com
“I've created 30 work ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s totaling more than 35,000 pieces of gum，” says Marraccini. That's a lot of gum!
So think twice th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e next time you throw away a wad of gum. Maybe what seems like trash could actually be the beginning of a great piece of art.
文章大意：本文介绍了一些艺术家用口香糖为原料进行艺术创作。
60．The gum Savini used to make art is ________.
A. expensive 　　　　　 B. second hand
C. hard D. tasteless
答案：B　细节判断题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据第二段的“Savini makes huge sculptures of bears and even people out of used chewing gum.”可知，他用来做雕塑的是嚼过的口香糖。
61．Who made other artists begin to work with chewing gum
A. Ben Wilson. B. Jamie Marraccini.
C. Maurizio Savini. D. Jason Kronenwald.
答案：C　细节判断题。由第六段可知，萨维尼的作品为其他艺术家带去了灵感，使得他们也开始用口香糖进行艺术创作。21·世纪*教育网
62．Marraccini stores the gum for six months to ________.
A. judge how hard it will be
B. see what color it will become
C. know whether it is still sweet
D. examine what chemical it contains
答案：B　细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据倒数第三段的“To find out what color the chewed gum will become once hardened, he lets it age for up to six months.”可知，这样做是为了看口香糖变硬后会变成什么颜色。
63．What would be the best title for the text

(2013·江苏·D)
Mark Twain has bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.
I say clever becaus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e anti slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.
Again and again，in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today of Twain's novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huchlebetty Finnn, Twain's most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)．“More recently, the book has been attacked because of the character Jun, the escaped slave, and many occurences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it )．”
But the attacks wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e and are silly—and miss the point. The novel is strongly anti slavery. Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction a recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.”
There is much more. Tw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her master's baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master's baby by his wife. The slave's light skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave holding class. The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.
The point was d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ifficult to miss: nurture(养育), not nature, was the key to social status. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech, for example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.
Twain's racial to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.
Was Twain a ra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cist Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoin. If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in past century.
文章大意：马克吐温——美国伟大的小说家，其幽 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )默独特的写作风格创作了许多不朽的名著，批判美国的黑人奴隶制，种族歧视。他被称为 the inventor of the American novel.
64．How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowe's
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.
B．Twain's attack on racism was much less open.
C．Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots.
D．Twain was openly concerned with racism.
答案：B　细节理解题。由第二段的第四句“W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith minor exceptions, Twin planted his attacks on... into the story.”他对奴隶制和偏见的攻击置于故事之中，由此可知他对种族的批判是含蓄的。故选B。
65．Recent criticism of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its ________.
A．target readers at the bottom
B．anti slavery attitude
C．rather impolite language
D．frequent use of “nigger”
答案：D　细节理解题。由第三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的最后一句“More recently the book has been attacked... of the word nigger.”可知D项正确。
66．What best proves Tw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain's anti slavery stand according to the author
A．Jim's search for his family was described in detail. 【出处：21教育名师】
B．The slave's voice was first heard in American novels.
C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.
D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.

67．The story ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of two babies switched mainly indicates that ________.
A．slaves were forced to give up their babied to their masters.
B．slaves' babies could pick up slave holders' way of speaking.
C．blacks' social position was shaped by how they were brought up.
D．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice.
答案：C　推理判断题。由第六段的第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句“The point was difficult to miss: nurture(养育)，not nature, was the key to social status.”可知C项正确。
68．What does the und ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to ________？
A．The attacks. B．Slavery and prejudice.
C．White men. D．The shows.
答案：D　代词指代题。由第七段的第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )三句“Yet there is no reason ... reality.”可知they 指the shows.

Phyllis Pearsall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was born in Britain in 1907. She stayed there until she left school. Then, she travelled around France. She earned money by painting people's pictures and writing for a newspaper in Paris. She married an artist and went with him to paint in Spain.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
In the 1930s, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )she left Spain and returned to London. She worked for her father's company and made maps of the world. She thought there was a need for new street maps of London and started working on a book of maps. She collected a lot of information. She walked along every street in London and wrote down the important buildings and even the house numbers. She kept the information about the streets on cards in small boxes. One day a box with cards of all the streets beginning with “Tr” fell out of her window. She found most of her cards, but some landed on the top of a bus and she never saw those cards again. When she sent everything to the painter, someone asked her, “Why isn't Trafalgar Square in your book？” It was because she had lost the card! She called her book A to Z. The first A to Z was in the shops in 1936 and sold very well. Now it is a popular book of London street maps. Besides the street names, it shows important buildings, government offices, museums, theaters and schools; parks and public gardens; sports facilities; train and underground stations.

Ammie Reddick from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred (给……留下疤痕)her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Her mother Ruby t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burned, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body, doctors performed complex skin transplants to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent twelve more operations to repair her body.
When she started s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chool at Maxwelton Primary at age four, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school，” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”
Today, aged 17, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
She is a me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mber of the Scottish Burned Children's Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity's first summer camp. “I'll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others，” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars，” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”
文章大意：Ammie Reddick严重烧伤，先后做了十三次手术，在伤痛、冷眼面前她很坚强，对未来充满希望。
72．How many operations has Ammie already had
A．Twelve. B．Thirteen.
C．Fourteen. D．Fifteen.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第二段中的最后一句“Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent twelve more operations to repair her body.”可知，Ammie Reddick动过了一次手术之后，在随后的16年中又接受了十二次手术，即一共接受了十三次手术，故选B项。
73．What did other children do when Ammie first went to school
A．They were friendly to her.
B．They showed sympathy to her.
C．They were afraid of her.
D．They looked down upon her.
答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中的“When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age four, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her.”可知，她动了手术之后上学时，其他孩子看不起她，故选D项。
74．Which of the following words can't properly describe Ammie
A．Courageous. B．Confident.
C．Generous. D．Outgoing.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第四段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的最后一句“Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.”可知，B、D正确；由最后一段第四句中的“Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and...that they can too.”可知A正确。文章未提及Ammie慷慨大方的一面，故选C项。
75．What can be the best title of the passage
A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives
B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares
C．Permanent Scars and Pain for a Girl
D．A Seriously Burned Angel of Hope
答案：D　标题判断题。Ammie R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eddick严重烧伤，先后做了十三次手术，在伤痛、冷眼面前她依然对未来充满希望，由此可推断文章最好的标题应该是D项，即严重烧伤的希望天使。

参考范文：
Dear editor，
During the summer v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )acation I visited some places of interest in Xi'an. A famous old tower built in the Song Dynasty caught my eyes. There are many beautiful pictures on the walls of the tower, which have great artistic value. I am worried about it because some of the pictures are being damaged by some tourists. And air pollution also damages the pictures. The carbon dioxide from the tourists' breath is polluting the pictures. Therefore, I suggest we take steps to protect the old tower and pictures. Firstly, we should fix glass walls in front of the pictures. Secondly, we'd better limit the number of the tourists. Finally, building a website is also a good idea, where people can appreciate the tower and pictures.21教育网
Your sincerely，
Li Hua
