Ⅰ.单项填空
1．The sun was so bright that he drew the curtain to ________ the sunshine.
A．block in B．block off
C．block up D．block out
答案　D
解析　block in画……的草图；block off(用路障)封锁；block up塞住，封住(孔、洞)；block out挡住(光线或声音)。由前句“阳光这么亮”可知下句“他拉上窗帘挡住光线”。故选D。
2．It is said that the temperature is unusual mainly ________ global warming caused by human activities.
A．on account of B．by means of
C．in case of D．in spite of
答案　A
解析　考查短语辨析。句意为：据说气温不寻常主要是由于人类活动造成的全球变暖。on account of由于；by means of依靠……方法；in case of万一；in spite of不管。由句意知A项正确。
3．I have never sought ________ my views.I hope you will not misunderstand me.
A．hiding B．to hide
C．hidden D．to be hidden

解析　seek后接动词的不定式，又因I与hide为主动关系，故答案为B。
4．The professor built a glass wall，________he could observe what was going on inside.
A．in which B．where
C．from which D．through which
答案　D
解析　考查“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句。表示“透过玻璃墙”，应该用介词through；在介词后作宾语代替指物的先行词a glass wall用关系代词which。句意为：教授建了一堵玻璃墙，透过这堵墙他能够观察到里面的一切。

—Congratulations！________.
A．That’s something B．That’s all right
C．You got it D．You did a good job

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car stopped behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend’s.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank you note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership(经销商)—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words.They’re easy to say and mean so much.
1．We know that the purpose of the author is to express ________.
A．thanks to others for their help
B．thanks to parents for their help
C．friendship to friends for their help
D．apologies to salesmen for their help
答案　A
解析　主旨大意题。通读全文，可判断作者主要讲述了对“感谢别人”的一个体会。故A项正确。
2．From Paragraph 1 we learn that ________.
A．I live with my parents now
B．Christmas was drawing near
C．I met across my old friend
D．my car didn’t work
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段作者所述，可知B项正确。作者现在是在Denver这个地区，而他的父母在Missouri，故A项错误；C项与文章不符合，作者在加油站见到了一对素不相识的老夫妇；D项是第二段所述内容。
3．What is the old couple’s attitude toward their experience
A．Easy going. B．Meaningful.
C．Generous. D．Responsible.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...helping me had made their holidays meaningful.”可得知答案为B。
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Friendly Ford was a businessman I knew at that time.
B．I was fond of writing notes to others when I was happy or sad.
C．When I attended a meeting and left，I forgot to turn off my car’s lights.
D．When I was in trouble sometimes，I learn to get rid of it by means of money.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据最后三段的描述可知答案为C，主要是根据第四段“...I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day”判断出的。
5．The author suggests in the last paragraph that ________.
A．people should say thanks
B．we need to write a thank you note
C．the ways of thanks are various
D．people don’t keep thanks in mind
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据作者对亲身经历的描述，不难看出作者是有感而发的。参照文章最后一句话“感谢很容易说出，但却意味深远”，可得出应选A。
Ⅲ.阅读表达
[1]So you’re between the ages of 13 and 24.What makes you happy？Spending time with family was the top answer to that open ended question，according to an extensive survey—more than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people aged 13－24—conducted by The Associated Press on the nature of happiness among America’s young people.
[2]Next was spending time with friends.And good news for parents: Nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship ________ makes them happy.
[3]“They’re my foundation，” says Kristiana St.John,17，a high school student from Queens in New York.“My mom tells me that even if I do something stupid，she’s still going to love me no matter what.Just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed.”
[4]Other results are more disconcerting.While most young people are happy overall with the way their lives are going，there are racial differences: The poll shows whites to be happier than blacks and Hispanics.A lot of young people feel stress，particularly those from the middle class，and females more than males.
[5]You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness.But almost no one said “money” when asked what makes them happy，though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life.However，having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor of happiness than income.
[6]Overwhelmingly，young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day.Most also want to have kids.
[7]Finally，when asked to name their heroes，nearly half of respondents mentioned one or both of their parents.The winner，by a nose: Mom.

Last Saturday，I was wandering in the street when I met one of my mother’s good friends by accident.She began to tell me the great difficulty my mum had bringing me up.To be honest，I didn’t want her to go ahead with the story.It was not because I had bad manners.On the contrary，I didn’t want to recall that painful memory.
