The owner replied，“I know your husband passed away a year ago.The flowers you 14 today were paid for two years ago.Your husband always planned ahead.Here is 15 of many years.You’ll get them every year till... and he also wrote a special little 16 for you...he did this years ago.He said, ‘If you find out that I’m no longer here, the card should be sent to my wife the following year.’”

【解题导语】 本文是夹叙夹议文，文章主要讲述丈夫死前为妻子提前订了玫瑰花，想帮助她渡过难关，讲述了一个感人至深的爱情故事。
1. A．sometimes B．always
C．occasionally D．rarely
解析：选B。根据常识，情人节玫瑰应该是爱的象征，因此用“总是”写着这样的话。
2．A.died B．returned
C．disappeared D．retired
解析：选A。第四段开头，店主的话“I know your husband passed away a year ago”表明了她的丈夫已经去世。
3．A.come B．plant
C．grow D．leave
解析：选C。此题主要是理解“grow with every passing year”(伴随每年的过去而增长)，grow在此句中含义为“增长，增多”。
4．A.first B．second
C．last D．every
解析：选C。前文判断是丈夫去世，因此她认为这次是丈夫提前订的玫瑰，并且是最后一次了。
5．A.guessed B．remembered
C．decided D．informed
解析：选A。因为丈夫已经去世，因此她只能凭借自己内心的猜测。在此guess相当于think。
6．A.in return B．in addition to
C．in reality D．in advance
解析：选D。她猜想丈夫是提前订的玫瑰花。in advance“提前”；in return“作为报答”；in addition to“除了”；in reality“事实上”。
7．A.live through B．pass away
C．break down D．leave behind
解析：选B。根据上文的丈夫去世，判断此空也表示去世，即她认为丈夫不知道自己要死亡而订的玫瑰。pass away“去世”；live through“度过，经受过”；break down“毁掉，中止，垮掉，分解”；leave behind“留下，遗留”。
8．A.free B．early
C．quiet D．fine
解析：选D。丈夫爱提前做一些事情，那么即使忙，也能使所有的事情井然有条。据此意，来推断选fine，在此相当于all right。
9.A.one B．some
C．them D．it
解析：选C。因为上文说的是roses，因此在此表示指代，用them。
10．A.but B．and
C．then D．therefore
解析：选B。“A year went by”和“it was tough to live without him”的关系是并列的，没有因果和转折的含义，因此用and。
11．A.by B．out
C．inside D．upon
解析：选A。根据下句“她把玫瑰花带进屋里”来判断，玫瑰花是在门旁边放着的，因此选by“在旁边”。
12．A.visited B．went
C．came D．called
解析：选D。后面的宾语为flower-shop，来排除不及物动词B、C项，同时根据最后一段第一句“hung up the phone”来判断是打电话。
13．A.when B．whether
C．why D．how
解析：选C。因为自己不知道为什么还会有玫瑰花，因此打电话询问其原因。
14．A.sent B．received
C．possessed D．accepted
解析：选B。根据上文她收到花然后打电话询问可判断是老板谈到的是她收到的花。
15．A.an order B．an excuse
C．a proposal D．a program
解析：选A。根据上下文来判断，送花是丈夫订制的服务，因此应为order“订单”。
16．A.letter B．article
C．note D．card
解析：选D。根据单词little来判断，只有card“卡片”最合适，而A、B、C三项都不符合。
17．A.coming into B．running down
C．going out D．getting away
解析：选B。挂断电话之后，眼泪流下脸庞，run down意为“流下”。
18．A.crazy B．cautious
C．lonely D．embarrassed
解析：选C。此题可用排除法，通过“and the pain is real”来判断，应该是丈夫认为妻子在自己死后一定是非常痛苦的，因此，crazy“疯狂的”；cautious“谨慎的”；embarrassed“不安的”，显然都不适合，只有lonely“孤独的”可以表达她的现状。
19．A.marriage B．life
C．love D．family
解析：选C。根据“made everything so beautiful”是爱使所有东西如此美丽。
20．A.flowers B．roses
C．cards D．words
解析：选D。根据“can say”来判断说的是话而不是花或者卡片。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
(2010年华师大附中期中测试)Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you，specifically，what are the values which Americans live by.They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States.This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors.I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most(but not all)Americans，and that understanding these values can help you，the international visitor，understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans，they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions—actions which might otherwise appear“strange”，“confusing”，or“unbelievable”when evaluated from the perspective (aspect)of the foreigner’s own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs，assumptions and values of that particular group.When you encounter (meet)an action，or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you，try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
【解题导语】 本文是一本书的序言。作者观察到，很多外国游客对美国人的行为举止感到很奇怪，而这是因为他们不了解美国人的价值观。于是作者写了一本小册子介绍这些价值观。了解了这些东西，人们就不会觉得美国人的行为“怪异、不可思议”了。
1．An ordinary American can’t tell you his/her value system because________.
A．this is something an American lives by
B．everyone will have his/her own value system
C．he/she has never thought about it
D．values are something often in their thought
解析：选C。考查细节理解。第一段说，美国人很难告诉你他们奉行的价值观是什么，因为他们从来没有想过这个问题。
2．The author lists 13 values in his booklet to________.
A．invite foreigners to visit America
B．look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
C．describe the confusing actions of most Americans
D．help international visitors understand Americans
解析：选D。考查推理判断。由第二、三段的内容可知作者列出美国人的13条价值观是为了帮助外国游客理解美国人的行为举止。
3．The underlined word“ingrained”in Line 2，Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”．
A．rooted in the minds B．found in the grains
C．planted for food D．prepared with grain
解析：选A。考查词义猜测。结合上下文内容可知这13条是美国人从来不加考虑而奉行的价值观，因此这些是深深地扎根于美国人的大脑中的东西，画线词的含义应该是A项。
4．Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange，confusing or unbelievable way，probably because________.
A．Americans are hard to understand
B．Americans have values which are entirely different from their own
C．they view Americans according to the values in their own society
D．it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them
解析：选C。考查推理判断题。第三段说假如外国游客从自己的文化价值观的角度去看美国人的行为，他们就会觉得美国人的行为表现“怪异，让人看不懂，难以相信”，由此可知选C项。
B
(2010年临川一中期中测试)Is early childhood education really necessary？Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child’s physical，sensory，communicational and social development.Early childhood education has become a concern of the government，who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.
There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education.Studies have shown that orphan children who did not receive good care or education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school，and even in life.Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school，less likely to end up in Special Education classes，and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail.
There are also negative parts to put a child in formal education programs too early.Time Magazine online explains that“the younger the child，the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work”．I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school.Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school，the better off he or she is，so they push to start children earlier.
Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years，studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”，as the gains are lost in middle and high school years.It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education.Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and rich middle school children.Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.
【解题导语】 早期教育固然重要，但是过早的教育对孩子也有负面影响，而且研究表明，环境对个人的成功更重要。
5．The purpose of the government valuing early childhood education is________.
A．to develop the children’s communication

6．According to the studies，which of the following is True?
A．Children with good early education may have a rich life.
B．The orphan children are usually unhappy in their life.
C．Children without early education can do well at school.
D．Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children.
解析：选D。考查推理判断。第二段从正反两方面阐述研究的结果：接受过早期教育的穷孩子今后的人生和没有接受过早期教育的穷孩子不一样，从而得出结论：早期教育对穷孩子大有裨益。
7．The author’s attitude toward early childhood education is ________.
A．puzzling B．objective
C．indifferent D．approving
解析：选B。考查推理判断。从全文来看，作者一直客观地引用他人的研究来介绍早期教育的利与弊，所以作者在阐述这个话题时是“客观的”。
8．The main idea of the last paragraph is that________.
A．early childhood education is very necessary
B．Head Start programs have helped the children a lot
C．environment is the most important to life’s success
D．better ways should be found to help the poor children

1．As soon as he comes back，I’ll tell him when________ and see him.
A．you will come B．will you come
