7．The flood last m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onth in the east was a real disaster，________19 people dead and 78 missing.
A．to leave B．left
C．leaving D．having left

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个80岁老人在生日来临之际对自己唯一的亲人的殷殷期盼，但她最终盼来的确是一种无言的伤痛和失望。
1．B [根据语境可知，此句是说老人把信 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )件从“the ground floor”拿到“the second floor”。bring up意为“拿上来”，符合语境；take away意为“拿走，带走”，move off“意为“离开，出发”，set down意为“记下，放下”，均不符合语境。]

5．B [根据常识可知， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )最爱的女儿Enid的离去自然是一件“不幸”的事情。unfortunately意为“不幸地”，符合语境；unhappily意为“不开心地”，unforgettably意为“令人难忘地”，unkindly意为“刻薄地，不客气地”，均不符合语境。]
6．C [根据常识可知，“人生 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )70古来稀”，80岁生日自然尤为“特别”。special意为“特别的”，符合语境；casual意为“随便的，临时的”，remote意为“遥远的，疏远的”，conventional意为“传统的，常见的”，均不符合语境。]
7．A [句意为：即使Myra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )不来，她也会送一份礼物。由句意可知，前后分句之间为一种让步关系，所以应用表示让步关系的连词even if，意为“即使”。]
8．C [根据下文的描述可知，老人坚信她的女儿即便不来也会送她礼物。be sure of为固定短语，意为“坚信，确信”，符合语境。]
9．D [根据下文中的“She w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould enjoy her day！”可知，此处应指老人红光满面，面露喜色。brighten意为“使闪亮，使快乐，使露喜色”，符合语境。]
10．A [根据语境可知，老人此时兴奋得像个孩子。excited意为“兴奋的，激动的”，符合语境。]

12．B [根据语境可知，此处应选wildly，该词是一种夸张的表达，旨在体现老人无法掩饰的、因迫切而慌乱激动的心情。]
13．C [根据上下文语境可知，此句是指 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )老人的心情由先前“狂乱的兴奋”跌之“沉重的失望”，是一种修辞上的对比。disappointment意为“失望，沮丧”，符合语境。]
14．A [根据语境可知，此句是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )指老人自我解嘲、自我安慰的一种无奈的表达，同时也暗含着一丝苦涩的期盼，所以老人告诫自己还要“耐心一点儿”。patient意为“耐心的”，符合语境。]
15．D [根据语境可知，此句是指老人 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )对自己期盼的“礼物”非常失望，因此不愿意打开它。unwillingly意为“不情愿地，勉强地”，符合语境；immediately意为“立刻，马上”，cheerfully意为“高高兴兴地”，angrily意为“愤怒地”，均不符合语境。]
16．B [根据下文的“a piece of paper”可知，此处应选fold，意为“折叠，合拢”，表示“在卡片里折了一张纸”。]

18．A [综合考虑老人此时的心情和神态 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )可知，她拾起支票的姿势应该是“弯腰”。bend意为“弯腰，弯曲”，符合语境。lean意为“倾斜，倚靠”；struggle意为“努力，挣扎”，是一个中性词汇，不能体现身体的姿势；stretch意为“伸展，延伸”，均不符合语境。]
19．D [根据语境可知，此 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )处应选lovely，表现的是一种强烈的讽刺效果，增强了语言的表现力。而painful，sad两词会使语言的色调索然无味，暗淡无光。]
20．B [根据语境可知 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，当老人看到女儿给自己的礼物竟然是一张支票时，她感到既失望又痛心，所以应选trembling，意为“颤抖的，战栗的”，生动地表现了老人当时的心情和神态；moving意为“动人的”，reacting意为“反应的”，freezing意为“冰冻的，严寒的”，均不符合语境。]

(2015·西安高三八校联考)
Katie was in big tro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uble.She was such a sweet kid; a third－grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies. She was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed that Katie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sit－down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.
So the next day, I as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches, Katie What happened to your homemade lunch？” I asked. “I lose it，” she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don't believe you, Katie.” She didn't care.“Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie？” I took a new track. “No.I just lose it，” she said.Well, there was nothing else I could do.
The problem w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad.I thought I would go and sit with him for a while.As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “ Katie ” .
Now I understood an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d I talked to Katie.It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch.He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her.But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.
Katie still buys ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.

(2015·宁夏银川高三三模)
Many of the world's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG) .Nearly all such lands are economically well developed.They include much of Europe(including Russia)，the United States，Canada，Japan.and Australia.As the rate of natural increase(RNI)declines，two things happen.First，the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration.Second，a country's population ages because there are fewer births.
Is achieving ZPG g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ood or bad What happens when a country's population begins to drop Many people，after all，believe that population decline is a good thing.But is it good for everyone Does everyone agree
An aging population ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can create many problems.Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention.Rather than paying into retirement programs，they begin to draw from their pensions.In the US，the Social Security program，according to many experts，will be used up by 2018.It will pay out more money than it takes in.Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages. Many of these jobs are aging population. Who will fill them At the other extreme，some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills.Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce
The answer to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration.Today many people，particularly those from less developed countries，are migrating in search of employment.Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not) be filled by the_domestic_population.Others are well educated and highly skilled.Both groups contribute to a country's economy progress in many ways.Further, they add to the richness of a country's culture.Of greatest importance，perhaps，is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands.As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win－win situation.
语篇解读：这是一篇议论文。作者主要介绍了世界人口零增长和人口老龄化带来的问题和解决办法。
5．In the writer's view，which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good.
B．Achieving ZPG is every country's aim in spite of its side effects.
C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens.
D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment.
答案：C 判断推理题。根据题干关键词“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )In the writer's view”找到文章对应段是第三段的首句“An aging population can create many problems.Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention”可判断在作者看来，到达人口零增长对老年人不利，会带来许多问题。故选C。
6．According to the pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssage，the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ________.
A．to improve the health care system
B．to increase RNI

D．to increase migration
答案：D 判断推理题。 A改 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )善健康系统；B增加康复护理学；C增加就业；D增加移民。根据文章最后一段的“The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration”可推断解决人口老龄化的问题的最好办法就是增加移民。故选D。
7．The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rds “the domestic population'' can be replaced by ________.
A．people within the country
B．people from developing countries
C．people without a college education
D．people living abroad

8．The main idea of the last paragraph is ________.
A．the advantages of increased migration
B．the problem of declining and aging population
C．how to increase migration
D．some ways to enrich a country's culture
答案：A 主旨大意题。 A增加移民的优势 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )；B人口减少和老龄化问题；C如何增加移民；D一些丰富一个国家文化的办法。通读最后一段，并根据该段的第一句话“The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple：increased migration”和最后一句话“As you can see，for many countries and for most immigrants，migration is a win－win situation”可知该段的大意是增加移民的优势。故选A。

I found myself thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nking about where to __4__ the cards as I went to bed that night—the train, benches at the station, libraries, mailboxes, or the gym. I almost thought about any __5__ of putting them.
I got up and __6__， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I went straight to the shop to buy some candy, __7__ to leave them as anonymous (无名的) gifts for people on the early morning train.

Right then and there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I decided that my __10__ Smile Card would not be anonymous. With a smile and red cheeks with __11__， I told him that I had found what I was looking for, __12__ him the candy and Smile Card I had in ray hands. He had only just finished reading the card as I arrived at my __13__. He was still smiling and enjoying his candy when I __14__ at him on the platform.
__15__ having wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ked a full clay, I was feeling joyful. Before I entered my __16__， I delivered a few more Smile Cards and candy to neighbors' mailboxes, I added an extra candy bar for one neighbor who was in a __17__ financial situation, but he was working hard to get the best for his young son. I figured they both __18__ a tasty little treat.
I am __19__ from m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Smile Card adventure, and am even happier to have Smile Cards __20__， and quite a few ideas as to where to drop them. I believe giving Smile Cards to each other will bring all of us great joy.
