There was an awkward moment of silence between them.Then suddenly he __26__ behind the pillow placed strategically nearby. He pulled out a large red __27__ and nervously handed it to her.

“Wait, this __29__ with it. ”he said. Then he handed her a small box, __30__ perfectly in white tissue paper of hearts alert flowers.

A
There's a story told about an elderly lady in Arkansas. The state voted to increase welfare payments to the poor. Hoping for a tear－jerker story, a television interviewer went into the back hills where many welfare recipients lived.The old woman he chose to interview lived in a one－room shack(棚屋): cold in winter; hot in summer. Her bed was a few rough planks(厚板) nailed together, with a pine－needle mattress. A couple thin blankets, and a fireplace, did little to protect her from the cold.
Her furniture, a table and two chairs, were fashioned from the same rough wood as her bed. Some shelves held a few cans of food from the general store, a three mile walk down the road. Several jars of preserves and a few squash(南瓜类蔬菜) completed her larder(食品室)． She had no fridge or freezer. The fireplace provided heat for cooking. With no phone or television her only connection with the outside world was an old radio that pulled in two or three local stations on a good day.
The old woman had one convenience, running water. A crystal clear stream flowed a short distance behind her home.
A small garden near her back door provided fresh vegetables during the summer, and some squash and turnips for the winter. A tidy flower garden brightened the front of her house. The television crew arrived and set up their big expensive cameras. Their mobile station broadcast pictures of the woman and the place she called home.
Eventually the interviewer asked the old woman, “If the government gave you $ 200 more each month, what would you do with it？”
Without hesitation the woman replied, “I'd give it to the poor.”36. A tear－jerker story is probably ________.
A. an unbelievable story
B. a moving story
C. a funny story
D. a brief story
答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。从下文以及词的构成判断，记者想找一个令人感动的故事。37．How did the woman get water?

B. From a stream.
C. From a spring.
D. From a well behind her house.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。文章中间介绍，妇女是从屋后的小溪里打水喝。38．What do we know about the woman?
A. She must be content with her life.
B. She knows nothing about the outside world.
C. She is living a lonely and miserable life.
D. She must be better－off than many others in the area.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。妇女虽然生活贫困，但还想把钱捐给穷人，从这一点判断，她对自己的生活感到满足。39．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the interviewer got the story he wanted
B. the interviewer was very disappointed with the woman
C. the woman became famous because of the interview
D. the interview became a turning point in the woman's life
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。前面介绍记者是想获得一个感人的故事，而妇女的事迹就非常感人，因此推断，他获得了自己想要的故事。B
She had been in and out of our small, rural(乡下的) hospital several times. In spite of terminal(晚期的) cancer and resulting pain, she never failed to give the nurses a smile or a hug. Whenever her husband came to visit, she glowed(容光焕发). He was a nice man, very polite and as friendly as his wife.Daily, he brought her fresh flowers and a smile, then sat by her bed as they held hands and talked quietly. When the pain was too much and she cried or became confused, he hugged her gently in his arms and whispered until she rested. He spent every available moment at her bedside, giving her small sips of water and stroking her brow. Every night, before he left for home, he closed the door so they could spend time alone together. When he was gone, she was found sleeping peacefully with a smile on her lips.On this night, however, things were different. At about midnight she passed away with her husband still holding her hand. The nurses consoled(安慰) him with tears running down his cheeks, he said, “may I please be alone with her for a while？” The nurses hugged him and closed the door.
Suddenly from the room came the most beautiful male voice one has never heard singing. It was almost haunting the way it floated through the halls. All of the nurses stepped out into the hallways to listen as he sang Beautiful Brown Eyes at the top of his lungs.When the tune faded, the door opened and he called the nurses. He looked at the nurses in the eyes then hugged them saying, “I sang that song to her every night from the first day we met. Normally I close the door and keep my voice down so as not to disturb the other patients. But I had to make sure she heard me tonight as she was on her way to heaven. She had to know that she will always be my forever love. Please apologize to anyone I bothered. I just don't know how I will make it without her, but I will continue to sing to her every night. Do you think she will hear me？”With these words, he then turned and walked down the hall, his back hunched(弯成弓状), whistling the song softly as he went.40．The husband did the following for his wife EXCEPT ________.
A. he brought her fresh flowers every day
B. he was together with her as much as possible
C. he hugged her gently in his arms when she wasn't feeling well
D. he sang beautiful songs to his wife every night
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知前三项每天送花，尽可能多地陪伴，不舒服时温柔拥抱，D项则可以从第五段中看出他每天都给妻子唱一首歌Beautiful Brown Eyes。所以此项为正确答案。41．Which is the best title for the story?
A. Beautiful Brown Eyes
B. Sorrowful and happy
C. A Forever Kind of Love
D. Love
答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。整个故事讲述了一个动人的爱情故事，从他们之间的深情爱意可以选择一种永恒的爱，最符合故事主题。42．It can be inferred from the last sentence that ________.
A. he loved his wife so he was happy that she wouldn't be in pain any longer
B. he felt less worried because he had apologized for singing aloud
C. he hoped that his wife would hear him on her way to heaven and know she would be his forever love
D. he missed his wife and was in deep sorrow, but he was determined to go on living happily without her答案与解析：C 句意理解题。结合前一段他对护士所说的话，知道他陷入深深的痛苦之中，他大声唱歌是为了表达他的爱意，希望妻子明白她是他永远的爱。因此最恰当的应该是C项。43．The underlined phrase probably means ________.
A. he cried when he sang
B. he sang as loud as possible
C. he did not use his voice properly
D. he sang in his heart
答案与解析：B 词义理解题。歌声飘荡在整个大厅中，所有护士都出来听，可知他是在高声地唱。所以选B项。C
Read the following reviews for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.
Happiness(Romance) ★★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don't like each other. But then they correspond by email and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.I Scream (Thriller) ★★
In I Scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn't make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers. Paul's Heroes (Comedy) ★★★
This is a very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it's great fun getting there.________(Drama)
This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard－working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr. Lloyd (Phil Driver) who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America. This is an excellent movie, which is very exciting.44．What movie does the reviewer like best?
A. No 1. B. No 2.
C. No 3. D. No 4.
答案与解析：D 综合推理题。四则评论中，只有第四个电影没有任何贬义词出现，而第二个作者用了“silly”一词形容，第三则评论中从“You can guess the ending.”可知该电影并非完美无缺，第一则电影评论虽然没有贬义词出现，但“popular with teenagers and people who like romances”说明只有部分人才会喜欢这部电影，因此选择D项。再者，评论中★的个数其实就是对电影的评价。45．A thriller is most probably ________.
A. A film which tells an interesting story
B. A film full of excitement
C. A humorous film
D. A film which is about a love affair
答案与解析：B 词义理解题。该电影名叫I Scream(我尖叫)，加上评论中“frighten”“died”“frightening”等词，这些足以说明这是一部惊险电影，因此选择B项。thriller是thrill的名词，意为“使人毛骨悚然的东西，如小说、电影等”。46．The underlined word “correspond” can be replaced by ________.
A．communicate B．match
C．write D．exchange
答案与解析：A 词义理解题。by email是解题关键。从下文知道他们相爱，由此推断A项正确。47．Which of the following is the best title for the fourth film?
A．A Hard－working Truck Driver
B．Medicine
C．A Strange illness
D．Twelve Hours
答案与解析：D 概括归纳题。末句“exciting”一词肯定是就主人公得到治妻子病的药之后返回的12个小时中的情境进行描述，而文中又缺乏对人物、疾病和药物的具体描述，所以选择D项。Ⅳ.书面表达
看图作文：根据图画提示用英语写一篇短文，要求完整叙述故事内容。
参考词汇：主人master；机器人robot范文示例
I'm a robot. My name is Bright. I have a round head and my hair is nothing but an aerial. I'm slim and my body looks like a tube.
My master is a good－natured robot expert who has made me. Only, he likes drinking too much.
Last weekend, my master went to a bar to relax himself after a week's work. He did this on almost every weekend. As usual, I followed him to the bar and stopped at the gate, waiting for him.I waited there for three hours without seeing my master come out. Another two hours passed, he didn't turn up yet. I was worried but couldn't move—my master didn't give me this program—he hates my disturbing.
Oh, there! My master was coming along staggering. He was deadly drunk. When he came to the gate, I extended my arms to support him. Then I squatted down and carried him on my back. We left the bar and walked home. It was now deep at night and my dear master was snoring on my back.Such is my master. I feel grateful to him all the time, otherwise there couldn't have been me!

答案与解析：A 从下文“He had a special way of ________ a smile to her face”可得到提示。

C．noticing D．enjoying
答案与解析：B 从后面母亲犹豫以及儿子稚气未脱的笑可推知答案。“辨别出”“注意到”，“喜欢”均不合逻辑。25．A.gave in B．spoke out
C．helped out D．stepped up
答案与解析：A 结合上下文，儿子示意她过去，她“Not trusting”，“hesitated“，从前面的转折连词but可推出答案，虽然不相信和犹豫，但还是坐到了儿子身边，因此说放弃了“not trusting”和“hesitated”，give in表让步。26．A.moved B．turned

31．A.accept B．read
C．open D．spread
答案与解析：B 从下文“It read as follows”可知，儿子要母亲读一读卡片。选“接受”、“打开”都不合语境。32．A.special B．happy
C．precious D．fine
答案与解析：A 情人节对情人来说是一个“特殊的”日子。选“幸福的”、“珍贵的”、“好的”都太片面。

答案与解析：D 此处是委婉的表达方式，父亲离开了“我们”。desert意思是“遗弃；抛弃”，不合逻辑。
35．A.still B．already
C．even D．otherwise
答案与解析：A 根据儿子的用意可知，他强调还有他和母亲相依为命，因此用still“仍旧”。Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
There's a story told about an elderly lady in Arkansas. The state voted to increase welfare payments to the poor. Hoping for a tear－jerker story, a television interviewer went into the back hills where many welfare recipients lived.The old woman he chose to interview lived in a one－room shack(棚屋): cold in winter; hot in summer. Her bed was a few rough planks(厚板) nailed together, with a pine－needle mattress. A couple thin blankets, and a fireplace, did little to protect her from the cold.
Her furniture, a table and two chairs, were fashioned from the same rough wood as her bed. Some shelves held a few cans of food from the general store, a three mile walk down the road. Several jars of preserves and a few squash(南瓜类蔬菜) completed her larder(食品室)． She had no fridge or freezer. The fireplace provided heat for cooking. With no phone or television her only connection with the outside world was an old radio that pulled in two or three local stations on a good day.
The old woman had one convenience, running water. A crystal clear stream flowed a short distance behind her home.
A small garden near her back door provided fresh vegetables during the summer, and some squash and turnips for the winter. A tidy flower garden brightened the front of her house. The television crew arrived and set up their big expensive cameras. Their mobile station broadcast pictures of the woman and the place she called home.
Eventually the interviewer asked the old woman, “If the government gave you $ 200 more each month, what would you do with it？”
Without hesitation the woman replied, “I'd give it to the poor.”36. A tear－jerker story is probably ________.
A. an unbelievable story
B. a moving story

C. From a spring.
D. From a well behind her house.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。文章中间介绍，妇女是从屋后的小溪里打水喝。38．What do we know about the woman?
A. She must be content with her life.
B. She knows nothing about the outside world.
C. She is living a lonely and miserable life.
D. She must be better－off than many others in the area.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。妇女虽然生活贫困，但还想把钱捐给穷人，从这一点判断，她对自己的生活感到满足。39．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the interviewer got the story he wanted
B. the interviewer was very disappointed with the woman
C. the woman became famous because of the interview
D. the interview became a turning point in the woman's life
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。前面介绍记者是想获得一个感人的故事，而妇女的事迹就非常感人，因此推断，他获得了自己想要的故事。B
She had been in and out of our small, rural(乡下的) hospital several times. In spite of terminal(晚期的) cancer and resulting pain, she never failed to give the nurses a smile or a hug. Whenever her husband came to visit, she glowed(容光焕发). He was a nice man, very polite and as friendly as his wife.Daily, he brought her fresh flowers and a smile, then sat by her bed as they held hands and talked quietly. When the pain was too much and she cried or became confused, he hugged her gently in his arms and whispered until she rested. He spent every available moment at her bedside, giving her small sips of water and stroking her brow. Every night, before he left for home, he closed the door so they could spend time alone together. When he was gone, she was found sleeping peacefully with a smile on her lips.On this night, however, things were different. At about midnight she passed away with her husband still holding her hand. The nurses consoled(安慰) him with tears running down his cheeks, he said, “may I please be alone with her for a while？” The nurses hugged him and closed the door.
Suddenly from the room came the most beautiful male voice one has never heard singing. It was almost haunting the way it floated through the halls. All of the nurses stepped out into the hallways to listen as he sang Beautiful Brown Eyes at the top of his lungs.When the tune faded, the door opened and he called the nurses. He looked at the nurses in the eyes then hugged them saying, “I sang that song to her every night from the first day we met. Normally I close the door and keep my voice down so as not to disturb the other patients. But I had to make sure she heard me tonight as she was on her way to heaven. She had to know that she will always be my forever love. Please apologize to anyone I bothered. I just don't know how I will make it without her, but I will continue to sing to her every night. Do you think she will hear me？”With these words, he then turned and walked down the hall, his back hunched(弯成弓状), whistling the song softly as he went.40．The husband did the following for his wife EXCEPT ________.
A. he brought her fresh flowers every day
B. he was together with her as much as possible
C. he hugged her gently in his arms when she wasn't feeling well
D. he sang beautiful songs to his wife every night
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知前三项每天送花，尽可能多地陪伴，不舒服时温柔拥抱，D项则可以从第五段中看出他每天都给妻子唱一首歌Beautiful Brown Eyes。所以此项为正确答案。41．Which is the best title for the story?
A. Beautiful Brown Eyes

C. A Forever Kind of Love
D. Love

C. he hoped that his wife would hear him on her way to heaven and know she would be his forever love
D. he missed his wife and was in deep sorrow, but he was determined to go on living happily without her答案与解析：C 句意理解题。结合前一段他对护士所说的话，知道他陷入深深的痛苦之中，他大声唱歌是为了表达他的爱意，希望妻子明白她是他永远的爱。因此最恰当的应该是C项。43．The underlined phrase probably means ________.
A. he cried when he sang
B. he sang as loud as possible
C. he did not use his voice properly
D. he sang in his heart
答案与解析：B 词义理解题。歌声飘荡在整个大厅中，所有护士都出来听，可知他是在高声地唱。所以选B项。C
Read the following reviews for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.
Happiness(Romance) ★★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don't like each other. But then they correspond by email and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.I Scream (Thriller) ★★
In I Scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn't make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers. Paul's Heroes (Comedy) ★★★
This is a very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it's great fun getting there.________(Drama)
This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard－working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr. Lloyd (Phil Driver) who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America. This is an excellent movie, which is very exciting.44．What movie does the reviewer like best?
A. No 1. B. No 2.
C. No 3. D. No 4.
答案与解析：D 综合推理题。四则评论中，只有第四个电影没有任何贬义词出现，而第二个作者用了“silly”一词形容，第三则评论中从“You can guess the ending.”可知该电影并非完美无缺，第一则电影评论虽然没有贬义词出现，但“popular with teenagers and people who like romances”说明只有部分人才会喜欢这部电影，因此选择D项。再者，评论中★的个数其实就是对电影的评价。45．A thriller is most probably ________.
A. A film which tells an interesting story
B. A film full of excitement
C. A humorous film
D. A film which is about a love affair
答案与解析：B 词义理解题。该电影名叫I Scream(我尖叫)，加上评论中“frighten”“died”“frightening”等词，这些足以说明这是一部惊险电影，因此选择B项。thriller是thrill的名词，意为“使人毛骨悚然的东西，如小说、电影等”。46．The underlined word “correspond” can be replaced by ________.
A．communicate B．match
C．write D．exchange
答案与解析：A 词义理解题。by email是解题关键。从下文知道他们相爱，由此推断A项正确。47．Which of the following is the best title for the fourth film?
A．A Hard－working Truck Driver
B．Medicine
C．A Strange illness
D．Twelve Hours
答案与解析：D 概括归纳题。末句“exciting”一词肯定是就主人公得到治妻子病的药之后返回的12个小时中的情境进行描述，而文中又缺乏对人物、疾病和药物的具体描述，所以选择D项。Ⅳ.书面表达

参考词汇：主人master；机器人robot范文示例
I'm a robot. My name is Bright. I have a round head and my hair is nothing but an aerial. I'm slim and my body looks like a tube.
My master is a good－natured robot expert who has made me. Only, he likes drinking too much.
Last weekend, my master went to a bar to relax himself after a week's work. He did this on almost every weekend. As usual, I followed him to the bar and stopped at the gate, waiting for him.I waited there for three hours without seeing my master come out. Another two hours passed, he didn't turn up yet. I was worried but couldn't move—my master didn't give me this program—he hates my disturbing.
Oh, there! My master was coming along staggering. He was deadly drunk. When he came to the gate, I extended my arms to support him. Then I squatted down and carried him on my back. We left the bar and walked home. It was now deep at night and my dear master was snoring on my back.Such is my master. I feel grateful to him all the time, otherwise there couldn't have been me!
