My sister Megan was babysitting at the Quinns’ house.It was around ten o’clock on a Friday night， Megan was watching TV and a loud knock on the door surprised her.
Megan spied through the peephole and saw a middle-aged man standing in the entryway.
“Who is it？” she asked.
“Your brother Ben.”
Megan realised the man had mistaken her for his sister.She replied， “Mrs Quinn can’t come to the door right now.” She thought of our mother’s warning： Never open the door for a stranger while you’re babysitting.
“The truth is I’m babysitting，” she said through the screen.The words were out of her mouth before she remembered her mother’s second warning： Don’t advertise that you’re alone.Megan quickly added， “Mrs Quinn will be home soon.”
“It’s awfully cold out here.Can I wait inside？” The man asked.
Megan hesitated.“Couldn’t you come back in a little while？ Mrs Quinn left a number for me to contact her，” she said.“I’ll call her and see what she says.”
The smile vanished from the man’s face.“You’re going to leave me outside to freeze to death in the meantime？ Wait until she finds out you wouldn’t let me in！ You’ll be in so much trouble！” With the words he left.

Mrs Quinn frowned.“My brother？ I don’t have a brother！”
Megan was proud of herself for following her instincts （本能）.She had kept Mrs Quinn’s kids — and herself — safe that night.It was a valuable lesson for my sister and for me.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己妹妹的一段经历，告诉我们一条生活常识——千万不要给陌生人开门。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第五、六段可知，是母亲的忠告帮助Megan作出了正确的决策。
2.B 推理判断题。根据文中男子说的话及上下文语境可知，这名男子想进门的要求一再被拒绝，这时候他肯定非常恼怒。
3.B 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Quinn夫人根本没有什么哥哥或弟弟，可见那个男子是个图谋不轨的坏人；Megan的正确决策保证了孩子和自身的安全，Quinn夫人自然应该表扬她。
4.C 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文通过Megan的一次危险经历，告诉我们遇到事情应该小心谨慎、以免酿成重大损失。C项谚语表达的意思是：小心不出大错/事前小心为上，好过事后遭殃。

7.C 因为Randy不喜欢作者，所以他说的肯定是令作者不愉快的（unpleasant）话。
8.A 这位朋友希望作者“知道”Randy在他背后说的坏话，并对作者进行了善意的提醒。
9.D 这里这位朋友提醒作者今后要注意，因此用watch一词；watch有“小心；注意”之意。
10.C 作者本来想揍那个人，但是又“控制”了自己的情绪。
11.C 作者“无论何时”遇到那个人的侮辱，都会努力以友好的方式回应。
12.B 这里表示作者面对侮辱时的回应方式。in return表示“作为回报或回应”。
13.D 根据下文可知，事情的发展发生了“变化”，Randy开始对作者友好起来。
14.A 这里表示作者不愿配合Randy的 “游戏”，也就是说无论Randy怎么侮辱，作者就是不生气、不对抗。
15.B 根据上文可知，Randy一直在“侮辱和伤害”作者。
16.C 根据下文可知，两个人最后成了朋友，因此开始互相“尊重”对方。
17.A 下句的I’m also sure暗示这里应该填sure，表示作者“确信”如果自己跟Randy对抗，他们一定不会成为朋友。
18.D 作者认为，如果自己跟Randy打起来，他俩中至少有一个人要少几颗牙齿。

第一部分
我和保罗都是学校狮子篮球队的队员。我们热爱篮球，都是NBA的超级球迷。我们不是在大楼附近的球场上打球，就是在电视上看比赛。我最喜欢的球员是勒布朗·詹姆斯。保罗最喜欢的球员是蒂尼·博格斯，博格斯为夏洛特黄蜂队效力。事实上，我们认为他们都是冠军。
博格斯身高只有一米六，是NBA历史上最矮的球员。你猜怎么着？保罗身高也只有一米六！保罗知道比其他球员矮意味着他必须加强练习。在他自己跳投的时候，他用博格斯激励自己。保罗曾经说“如果博格斯能做到，为什么我不能呢？”
我们的教练并不这么看。保罗多次参加选拔，方才入选球队。然而，他仍旧通常“坐板凳”作为替补队员，这对他来说是真够难熬的。每个人都知道保罗有真本事，而且他非常努力，想为球队做出贡献。然而，保罗没有机会。
本周，狮子队正在与我们的劲敌熊队比赛，这是一支本赛季战绩完美的球队，他们没有输过一场比赛。这将是一场硬仗。保罗这时并不知道他很快就能拥有一直等待的机会。
Part 2
Suddenly， a player and I crashed into each other.Pain raced through my body.My knee hurt badly .[7]The team gathered around， looking worried.The last quarter was about to begin ， and my team was behind by 10 points.
“[8]I don’t think I can play anymore ， coach，”[9]I said quietly as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee.
“No way，” the coach replied sharply .“We’ve got no more players！”
“What about Paul？” someone suggested.
“Paul？” said the coach.“He can’t play！”
“Give him a shot， coach！” I said.“What have we got to lose？”
“That’s right，” another player said.“We’re losing anyway.Let Paul play！”
“Let me try， coach！ I won’t let you down ！” Paul said.
“OK， OK！” the coach finally agreed.“Don’t let us down， Paul.It’s your time to shine.”
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court.[10]And clearly， all the extra hours that he’d spent practising alone paid off . The other team just couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed.He made shot after shot， and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering.
When the game ended， our team had won by two points.
“Well，”said the coach as he hit Paul on the shoulder ， “you’ve just earned your place on the team， big guy！”

第二部分
突然，我和一名球员撞到了一起，疼痛在我身上迅速蔓延。我的膝盖受伤严重。球队围在我身边，看起来很担心。最后一节即将开始，我们队已经落后10分。
我平静地说：“我可能不能继续上场了，教练，”医生把冰袋放在我的膝盖上。
“不行，”教练斩钉截铁地回答，“我们没有别的球员了！”
“保罗怎么样？”有人建议。
“保罗？”教练说，“他不行！”
“给他个机会吧，教练！”我说，“我们还能损失什么呢？”
“没错，”另一名球员说，“不管怎样我们都要输了，让保罗上场吧！”
“让我试试吧，教练！我不会让你失望的！”保罗说。
“好吧，好吧！”教练最终同意了。“别让我们失望，保罗。你发光发亮的时刻到了。”
保罗跳起来冲上球场。显然，他所有独自练习的额外时间都得到了回报。对手队跟不上他的力量和速度。他的进球一个接一个，人群不停地鼓掌欢呼。
比赛结束时，我们队以两分的优势赢得了比赛。
“嗯，”教练一边拍着保罗的肩膀一边说，“你已经为自己赢得了球队中的位置，‘大个子’！”

Paul and I were on① our school basketball team， The Lions.We
loved basketball and were both huge② fans of the NBA. When we weren’t
playing on the court which was next to③ our building， we were watching
a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James.[1]Paul’s favourite
player was Tyrone Bogues， a guy④ who played for the Charlotte
Hornets， although we actually agree that they are both champions⑤.
[2]Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall， which made him the shortest
player ever in the NBA. Guess what？ Paul was only 1.6 metres tall，
too！ [3]Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had
to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots⑥ on his
own， he used Bogues as⑦ his inspiration⑧.Paul once said，“If Bogues
could make it⑨， why not me？”
[1]句中who引导定语从句，修饰先行词a guy，在从句中作主语；
although引导让步状语从句，该从句中又包含that引导的宾语从句。

博格斯身高只有一米六，是NBA历史上最矮的球员。你猜怎么
着？保罗身高也只有一米六！保罗知道比其他球员矮意味着他必须加
强练习。在他自己跳投的时候，他用博格斯激励自己。保罗曾经说
“如果博格斯能做到，为什么我不能呢？”
我们的教练并不这么看。保罗多次参加选拔，方才入选球队。然
而，他仍旧通常“坐板凳”作为替补队员，这对他来说是真够难熬的。
每个人都知道保罗有真本事，而且他非常努力，想为球队做出贡献。
然而，保罗没有机会。
本周，狮子队正在与我们的劲敌熊队比赛，这是一支本赛季战绩
完美的球队，他们没有输过一场比赛。这将是一场硬仗。保罗这时并

Part 2
Suddenly， a player and I crashed into each other.Pain raced
through my body.My knee hurt badly .[7]The team gathered around，
looking worried.The last quarter was about to begin ， and my team was
behind by 10 points.
“[8]I don’t think I can play anymore ， coach，”[9]I said quietly as
the doctor put an ice pack on my knee.
“No way，” the coach replied sharply .“We’ve got no more
players！”
“What about Paul？” someone suggested.
“Paul？” said the coach.“He can’t play！”
“Give him a shot， coach！” I said.“What have we got to lose？”
“That’s right，” another player said.“We’re losing anyway.Let Paul
play！”
“Let me try， coach！ I won’t let you down ！” Paul said.
“OK， OK！” the coach finally agreed.“Don’t let us down，
Paul.It’s your time to shine.”
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court.[10]And clearly， all the
extra hours that he’d spent practising alone paid off . The other team
just couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed.He made shot after
shot， and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering.
When the game ended， our team had won by two points.
“Well，”said the coach as he hit Paul on the shoulder ， “you’ve
just earned your place on the team， big guy！”

第二部分
突然，我和一名球员撞到了一起，疼痛在我身上迅速蔓延。我的
膝盖受伤严重。球队围在我身边，看起来很担心。最后一节即将开
始，我们队已经落后10分。
我平静地说：“我可能不能继续上场了，教练，”医生把冰袋放在
我的膝盖上。
“不行，”教练斩钉截铁地回答，“我们没有别的球员了！”
“保罗怎么样？”有人建议。
“保罗？”教练说，“他不行！”
“给他个机会吧，教练！”我说，“我们还能损失什么呢？”
“没错，”另一名球员说，“不管怎样我们都要输了，让保罗上场
吧！”
“让我试试吧，教练！我不会让你失望的！”保罗说。
“好吧，好吧！”教练最终同意了。“别让我们失望，保罗。你发
光发亮的时刻到了。”
保罗跳起来冲上球场。显然，他所有独自练习的额外时间都得到
了回报。对手队跟不上他的力量和速度。他的进球一个接一个，人群
不停地鼓掌欢呼。
比赛结束时，我们队以两分的优势赢得了比赛。
“嗯，”教练一边拍着保罗的肩膀一边说，“你已经为自己赢得了
球队中的位置，‘大个子’！”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
My sister Megan was babysitting at the Quinns’ house.It was around
ten o’clock on a Friday night， Megan was watching TV and a loud knock
on the door surprised her.
Megan spied through the peephole and saw a middle-aged man
standing in the entryway.
“Who is it？” she asked.
“Your brother Ben.”
Megan realised the man had mistaken her for his sister.She replied，
“Mrs Quinn can’t come to the door right now.” She thought of our
mother’s warning： Never open the door for a stranger while you’re
babysitting.
“The truth is I’m babysitting，” she said through the screen.The
words were out of her mouth before she remembered her mother’s second
warning： Don’t advertise that you’re alone.Megan quickly added， “Mrs
Quinn will be home soon.”
“It’s awfully cold out here.Can I wait inside？” The man asked.
Megan hesitated.“Couldn’t you come back in a little while？ Mrs
Quinn left a number for me to contact her，” she said.“I’ll call her and see
what she says.”
The smile vanished from the man’s face.“You’re going to leave me
outside to freeze to death in the meantime？ Wait until she finds out you
wouldn’t let me in！ You’ll be in so much trouble！” With the words he
left.
A little after eleven， Mrs Quinn came back home.Megan bit her
lip.“I didn’t have any problems with the girls.But later your brother came
to the door， and I was afraid to let him in.When I told him I wasn’t going
to open the door， he got really mad at me and left.I’m sorry.”
Mrs Quinn frowned.“My brother？ I don’t have a brother！”
Megan was proud of herself for following her instincts （本能）.She
had kept Mrs Quinn’s kids — and herself — safe that night.It was a
valuable lesson for my sister and for me.
