Text 10
W: Hello，everybody. My name is Lucy Green，and I stand before all of you today in the hope that you will choose me to be your president. There are several reasons why I think I am fit for the position of president of the Students' Union. First of all, I have been given many leadership roles before, such as captain of the girls' volleyball team, editor of the school magazine, and secretary of the environmental club. So I know how to get along with different students and members. Secondly，I am a good listener. I am willing to listen to any problems and complaints, and then do what I can to solve them. Thirdly, if I am elected president, I am willing to give up all my other activities so that I can focus on my duties as president. I have been in the environmental club for three years now，but I am willing to give up the club if I get elected. In other words, I will put my heart into my duties if I am elected president, and I will not make you disappointed. Think wisely on the day of elections and vote for me. You will not regret it.

Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day.They are:
(1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.
People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn't matter whether foods are eaten raw(生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn't matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or at eleven o'clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.
There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world's population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.
文章第一段叙述人们每天必需的七类食品；第二段说明了最重要的是吃的是什么；最后一段介绍了要解决的两个问题。
21. According to the scientists, which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?
A. chicken, apples, cereal, cabbages
B. potatoes, carrots, rice, bread
C. oranges, bananas, fish, tomatoes
D. beef, pork, fish, milk

B. What to do with the two problems.
C. How to cook food in different ways.
D. Why people eat different kinds of food.
答案与解析：B 推断题。在第三段里提到要解决的两个问题，如果有第四段，那么应该就是议论如何来解决这两个问题。
B
Randy Kraus was paralyzed(瘫痪的). His left side was useless. He'd been a police officer before, and he could do strong and able. Now, he felt he could do nothing.
His trouble started with Parkinson's disease, but it didn't end there. In July, 2002, the 60-year-old Kraus went into the hospital for an operation, on his brain to control the shaking. But he had a stroke(中风). He was paralyzed. The doctors said，“You may never walk again and you might not even be able to talk.”
Kraus found that he couldn't lift a fork or take a drink by himself. Physical treatment was so painful and slow. What did he have to live for? So Kraus held the gun against his head. Feeling the cold metal on his skin, he began to consider the pain he would cause for his wife, daughters and grandchildren. He didn't pull the trigger(扳机)．
Andrew Garud, his exercise physiologist(生理学家), told him，“You are where you are. The pace would be slow; the pain would be real. But as long as you are alive, you have the ability to get better.”
After three months of working with Garud, Kraus wanted to see if he could stand. He could. Then he took three steps，sat down and cried like a baby.
One step, as they say, led to another. Next he managed a short walk along the edge of a boxing ring(拳击台) in the health club. It was the hardest fight of Kraus's life. People at the gym cheered him on. Garud kept saying he could do more. Now, Kraus can brush his teeth, shave himself, and get around the house with a walker. Only the paralyzed can fully understand little triumphs.
24．According to the fourth paragraph, what did Andrew Garud mean?
A．Everyone in the world has the right to be alive.
B．It's necessary for people to do exercise to keep healthy.
C．One should try to lead a better life.
D．As long as a person is alive, he will have a chance to be better.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是最后一句话可知，Andrew Garud认为：人只要活着，就有可能改变现状。
25．What does the underlined word“triumphs”in the last paragraph mean?
A．Difficulties. B．Successes.
C．Disappointments. D．Reputations.
答案：B
26．What personality does Kraus probably have?
A．Optimism. B．Strong-mindedness.
C．Sympathy. D．Generosity.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Kraus虽然瘫痪了，但是在别人的帮助下重新振作起来，克服肉体和精神上的双重痛苦，学会走路以及日常的生活技巧，所以他是个意志坚强的人。
27．According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．the stroke during the operation on his brain led to Kraus' paralysis
B．Kraus' operation in 2002 was performed by Andrew Garud
C．doing exercises can help cure Parkinson's disease
D．Kraus will lead a normal life as a healthy person in the future
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一、二段可知，Kraus在接受帕金森症的手术时中风了，导致瘫痪，所以A是正确的。
C

Although heat wasn't an issue at first, as it would become later, coming from New York to India would shock any foreign tourists. Quickly, however, I noticed how nice and helpful everyone was to us. The guest house we stayed in was full of people willing to help. The other two volunteers also helped to calm my nerves about being in India so far away from my home. After the first few days I was eager to get to Bal Ashram.
Upon getting to Bal Ashram, I was able to meet the boys, who called Bal Ashram their home. The center itself helps to rescue boys from child labor in various areas of India and give them a jump－start into education for free where they will then return to their families and continue their education. They are taught that without education there can be no future. Through education, Bal Ashram also builds a sense of community which can be seen with everyone who works and is taught here. Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing that these children would be helped within their own experiences here at Bal Ashram and their future lives. Each child was always willing to learn more.
Boys there were always seen laughing. Afternoon sports and nightly social events, including dancing, were just one of the many highlights with me and the children. Even my inner life was enriched, let alone theirs. Living in Bal Ashram also gave us a first hand view of village life in India as well as the culture and religion that surrounds this country.
My time spent at Bal Ashram was one I will never forget. Through the simplicity and life of the people and the children who are full of innocence and joy, I have taken with me so much more than when I arrived.
32．Why did the author come to India?
A．To learn about Indian culture and religion.
B．To learn about the life in Indian villages.
C．To work as a volunteer English teacher.
D．To rescue Indian boys from hard labor.
答案与解析：C 事实细节题。根据第二段倒数第二句的Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing可知，作者是从纽约来到印度的一个志愿者，教孩子学习英语。
33．What did the author suffer from most while staying in India?
A．The unfair treatment by other volunteers.
B．The hot weather.
C．The communication barriers.
D．The culture and religion differences.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据文章首段的Although heat wasn't an issue at first, as it would become later可知，作者遭受了印度炎热的气候。
34．According to the text, what is Bal Ashram?
A．A small town where the author stayed.
B．A host family that offered the author food and shelter.
C．A nonprofit educational and service organization.
D．An educational program offered to poor children in Indian.
答案与解析：C 事实细节题。根据第二段第二句的The center itself helps to rescue boys from child labor in various areas ...for free可知，Bal Ashram是个非盈利组织，旨在帮助那些做童工的孩子，为他们提供教育和其他服务。
35．The boys the author communicated with were ________.
A．uninterested in education
B．optimistic and in high spirits
C．unable to forget their pain and sufferings
D．out of touch with their parents forever
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第二段的末句Each child was always willing to learn more.以及第三段第一句Boys there were always seen laughing可知，在Bal Ashram的孩子们都很乐观和开心。

Last week, I met a stranger who seemed to be losing. I offered to guide him to a place he wanted to go to, but to my surprise，he refused my offer to helping. I asked him why not. He told me that he was afraid I would ask him money if I helped him in this way. Then I fell into deep thoughts: Was it money which came between us? I agree that money is become more and more important in our society, and it should not be everything. We should try my best to help others and trust each other. If everyone does this，our society will be better and better.

Grown-up Post at 18-5-2009 20?081#
Hi, everyone，I'm 17 years old and I am going to university this autumn. But my mother continues to treat me as a seven-year-old.
What should I do？TOP

范文：
Hi,_Grown-up，
As_a_student_of_your_age，I_understand_your_situation. The problem you are facing is common among our teenagers. However, it should be wise not to do anything that may hurt her feelings. Here are a few suggestions.
First, it's advisable to talk more with your mom. Heart-to-heart talks help you understand each other better. They are also opportunities to let her know your ideas and attitudes toward many things.
Second, you should learn to do your own things well, proving to your mom that you are already a “grown-up”. It's even better if you could share more of the housework, such as cleaning, washing and cooking.
Hope my ideas will work.

答案与解析：
【语篇解读】 作者与母亲一同去旧货市场买东西， 没想到遇到自己三十年未见的老师。令作者更为惊奇的是当年送给老师的一株植物， 在老师的精心培育下， 不断繁衍， 布满了道路的两旁。这深深地教育了作者， 让她从中悟出了人生的真谛。
1．C 文章首段说作者和母亲到几家宅前旧货出售市场逛一逛。本句中的finally说明她们最终到达了一处地方， 停下来。
2．B 根据garage sales可知是宅前旧货出售， 因此这里指a pleasant house的“所有者(owner)”。
3．C
4．A 从下文I had been in her class可知卖旧货人的太太是作者的老师， 因此， 当听到这个人说出她的“名字(name)”时， 作者很快就“意识到(realized)”她是谁。
5．A
6．B 从后半句来看， 她们俩三十年没有见面， 因此， 与老师相遇， 作者“倍感惊奇(surprised)”。下文的after so many years和Over the years是提示。
7．D 母亲说sorry, 是因为母亲为孩子可能在上学期间给老师带来的“麻烦(trouble)”而道歉。
8．C
9．A 在作者母亲的眼里， 三十多年了， 这个老师还能够“记起(remembered)”自己孩子的名字， 那说明孩子当时是做了“很糟糕的(terrible)”事情， 否则她不会这么长时间还记得。
10．D 根据下文老师对作者所送植物的培育可知， 老师是“温和地(softly)”说“she was very good”。
11．A 倒数第二段是老师“解释(explained)”为什么她说作者是个好孩子。
12．D 根据a plant from my mother's garden可知是作者从母亲的花园里“带来(brought)”一株植物给老师。
13．D 作者当时是带来一株， 而现在路的两旁全是， 这说明这株植物在老师的培育下， 不断地“繁衍(spread)”。
14．C 当老师回家的时候， 这些植物向她“打招呼(greet)”。这里是拟人化的描述。
15．B 听到老师讲述自己的事情， 作者深受感动而热泪盈眶。come into涌入。
16．A 通过这件事， 作者感觉到老师又教给了自己更多的生活真谛。从下文the effects that we have on others' lives可以看出。
17．C 根据下文的We seldom imagine...可知我们每天都在“毫无思考地(without thought)”给出我们的一个个生活的片段， 却很少去想我们给他人所带来的影响。
18．A 根据下文it isn't the big things that matter, but the small things...可知， 往往起重要作用的不是大事情， 而是那些微小的事情。此处与the small things that make all呼应， 说明小事情变成了生命中必须的部分。
19．B but与前面的not构成not...but...(不是……而是……)。
20．D 短语make all the difference的意思是：关系重大， 大不相同。所以本句话的意思是：事虽小， 但意义重大。
Ⅶ.阅读理解
For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “We can do without railways” people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they're dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they're cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn't leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn't hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super—fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can't use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly in for the same reason.
1．Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons except that ________.
A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains
B. oil is expensive today
C. trains are slow
D. railways lose money
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。从语篇第一段第二、三句中即可判断选项B为正确答案。
2．The writer's idea seems to be that ________.
A. we can do without railways
B. trains have much in common with motorcars and planes
C. motorcars and planes are not as good as trains
D. trains are as good as motorcars and planes
答案与解析：D 总结推论题。由语篇开头部分可得知选项A并非作者的想法，而是某些人的想法；第一段第七句中作者提到火车与飞机之间有许多共同点， 但并未涉及汽车， 故选项B不够确切， 应排除；作者列举了一些现代火车的长处和飞机及汽车的一些短处， 只是说明在油价昂贵的今天， 火车跟飞机相比还是具有高度竞争力的， 并非指飞机与汽车不如火车好， 因此选项C显得片面， 更不是作者的观点。只有选项D才是正确答案。
3．According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?
A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.
B. The railway station is usually at the center of a city.
C. When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D. No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does.
答案与解析：C 细节判断题。将4个备选项逐一对照语篇中有关部分， 不难判定选项C符合试题要求。至于其他选项均可在语篇中找到依据。??

A
I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two－year－old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

Sitting in the play area of the doctor's office, my children, Paul, four, and Bailey, three, built a Lego tower while we waited to be called for Paul's examination.
“Good job, you guys，” I said, trying not to sound too tired. My husband was away on business, and it was difficult being alone with the kids. At times I felt like I was living in the jungle (丛林) rather than the suburbs.
“Don't put the Lego in your mouth, Bailey，” I said. Paul grabbed (抓取) it from him. “That's not nice, Paul，” I said. He gave back the Lego. I looked around the waiting room. A woman was eating something, a couple were talking, and an old gentleman in a blue jacket was reading a magazine. I wished I could sit quietly for a while. I wanted to be able to take a rest, or go shopping alone. At once, I was ashamed of myself. What kind of mother was I？“God，” I thought, “help me to be the very best mom I can be.”
The nurse came into the waiting room to get us. Just at that moment, the old gentleman in the waiting room put down his magazine and came up to me. With a smile on his face, he said, “Your children are most certainly lucky to have such a wonderful mother.” “Thank you，” I replied in a low voice and watched him walk back to his seat. We followed the nurse into the examination room. While she weighed Paul, I told her how that man had made my day.
Motherhood is still a jungle sometimes, but now when I feel tired I remember the encouraging words of the old gentleman.

Yao Ming told at a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.“I will formally end my career，” said Yao, who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002. Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.
“Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future，” Yao said. “I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture (断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year. My past six months were a painful wait. I have been thinking about my future over and over. Today I am announcing a personal decision, ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire. But_one_door_is_closing_and_another_one_is_opening.”
Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks, with the possibility of becoming general manager. He already owns the club and wants to contribute more.
“My playing career started with the club. I hope I can do something for it，” Yao said.
He later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd. He thanked a lot of people—his family, former coaches, even players like Shaquille O'Neal—“for making me a better player. I will be always with you. Thank you.”
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was among those attending the farewell (告别) conference. Morey made the long trip from Houston. Morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but he would be sorry if he wasn't here. “It's a big moment，” Morey added. “Yao had a sense of humor, a great attitude and sense of responsibility. I hope we can continue his culture in the NBA.”
