I was glad that I had found him.In twenty minutes he 3 me right on all the 4 that had puzzled me.I was on the 5 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said，“You’re very fond of gardening，I see.” “No，I’m not，” he said.“ 6 ，I love this garden，though.It’s 7 I always wanted it to be.I never touch it at all.” “It could be made lovely.It 8 a pity to let all this ground go to waste.But perhaps you don’t 9 that way?” said I. “I don’t.I lived here when I was a child，and I had 10 of gardening then.It was my father’s hobby，you see.Unfortunately，he wasn’t 11 enough to do it himself.My brother and I did all of it between us year after year.There was one right way and many wrong ways.Each blade（葉片） of grass was an enemy to be 12 by hand，not just cut off.I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.” “I see.You took a dislike to it，and now you’re getting even！” “I dislike it.Then，of course，I didn’t understand the 13 it had.It used to 14 me.It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here，something not quite straight here，the enemy showing its head in a place I was 15 to have cleaned.The work was too much.It seemed endless.The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.” “And now it’s yours，you’re just letting it go to... ” “ 16 ?” he said.“No，I don’t agree with that.This garden and I are now the best friends.I like 17 it grow 18 its own way.I make no demands on it.I never disturb it，and it never disturbs me.It has 19 at last，and so have I.” “But the path is over grown.It’s inconvenient for you，isn’t it?” “That’s part of my 20 ，” he laughed.“You can go out the back way.The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.” 1.A.wild B.crazy C.large D.nice 解析：C、D兩項(xiàng)與前面的“totally uncared for”所提供的語(yǔ)境不相符，而crazy的主語(yǔ)一般指人，表示“狂熱的，瘋狂的”意思。 答案：A 2.A.lost B.felt C.took D.made 解析：四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中除了take的搭配不正確外，其余三項(xiàng)均可和one’s way構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)，但意思各不相同：lose one’s way“迷路”，feel one’s way“摸索前進(jìn)”，make one’s way“前進(jìn)”。根據(jù)句意此處應(yīng)表示“前進(jìn)”，故用D項(xiàng)。 答案：D 3.A.let B.put C.taught D.explained 解析：put sb. right on...在此意為“幫我解答了所有那些曾使我迷惑不解的問(wèn)題”。 答案：B 4.A.gardening B.plants C.problems D.solution 解析：根據(jù)后面的puzzled，此處應(yīng)用problems與之相適應(yīng)，表示“迷惑我的難題”的意思。 答案：C 5.A.time B.point C.permission D.request 解析：此處應(yīng)從句型結(jié)構(gòu)上去考慮：“be on the point of doing sth. when sth. else happened”為英語(yǔ)中的固定句型結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“剛要做某事，這時(shí)另一件事發(fā)生了”的意思。 答案：B 6.A.Even if B.So C.As though D.Even so 解析：本題應(yīng)從上下文意思的角度去理解。前文說(shuō)明“我不擅長(zhǎng)園藝”，后面說(shuō)“盡管這樣，我還是很喜歡這個(gè)花園”。even so為省略形式，表示“即使這樣”的意思。后面的though也表達(dá)了這一意思。 答案：D 7.A.as B.where C.why D.whether 解析：此題應(yīng)從句意上去考慮。as在這里表示“正如”的意思。 答案：A 8.A.seems B.is C.proves D.sounds 解析：此句話的意思是：“讓這個(gè)花園荒蕪的話，似乎太可惜?！? 答案：A 9.A.recognize B.sense C.see D.know 解析：see在此的意思為“想，考慮”，相當(dāng)于think。 答案：C 10.A.fond B.short C.free D.enough 解析：當(dāng)時(shí)的情況和現(xiàn)在不一樣，此處應(yīng)為今昔對(duì)比。 答案：D 11.A.interested B.fit C.content D.demanding 解析：本句意為“當(dāng)時(shí)父親熱衷于園藝，但不幸的是他自己親自做不是太合適，所以每年都是我和哥哥兩個(gè)人去做”。 答案：B 12.A.fought against B.cleared up C.rooted out D.cut down 解析：本句意為“但是我們的方法常常不對(duì)頭，把葉片當(dāng)作敵人用手摘掉而不是剪掉”。 答案：C 13.A.effect B.reason C.cause D.result 解析：本句意思是“因?yàn)槲也恢阑▓@有什么作用”。 答案：A 14.A.astonish B.shock C.worry D.disappoint 解析：正是因?yàn)椤拔也恢阑▓@的作用”，所以我才感到對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)花園是個(gè)負(fù)擔(dān)，“經(jīng)常困擾著我”。 答案：C 15.A.thought B.supposed C.ordered D.expected 解析：be supposed to do sth.為固定用法，表示“應(yīng)該”，相當(dāng)于should。 答案：B 16.A.Sell B.Develop C.Grow D.Ruin 解析：本題應(yīng)從語(yǔ)境上去考慮。go to ruin為固定搭配，“毀滅”的意思。 答案：D 17.A.noticing B.attending C.watering D.watching 解析：watch sb./sth. doing...為感官動(dòng)詞后接復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)的用法。 答案：D 18.A.on B.in C.with D.of 解析：in one’s own way“通過(guò)/按照……自己的方式”。 答案：B 19.A.freedom B.time C.sunlight D.space 解析：從上文提供的語(yǔ)境考慮，此處表示“誰(shuí)都不管誰(shuí)”，即任其自然，所以說(shuō)給了花園“自由”。 答案：A 20.A.life B.pleasure C.job D.research 解析：從上下文的意思分析：那正是我所喜歡的。 答案：B 閱讀理解 A The Japanese have a genius（天才）for dreaming up small，useful and fun machines.You must have used or at least heard of Sony’s walkman，Nintendo or Sega’s video games，and Bandai’s Tamagotchi.And how about karaoke，invented by Daisuke Inoue? Daisuke who?Not many people have heard of him，and he never made much money from his invention.But anyone who has ever experienced the thrill（刺激）of singing karaoke in front of a crowd has Mr Inoue to thank.... Daisuke Inoue is an easygoing man with a quick smile.He was born in the suburbs of Osaka in 1940.At Osaka Technical High School he took up the drums because，he says，“All you have to do is hit them.”Before long he was making money as a drummer in a Hawaiian band that played in the old dance-halls left behind by American soldiers. By 1970，he and six partners were playing the clubs of nearby Kobe，accompanying（陪伴） middle-aged businessmen who wanted to sing traditional Japanese country and even army songs.His friends，Inoue says，could all read music and so they could pick up the latest tunes（曲調(diào)）.He，on the other hand，had to rely on memory and play by following the lips of the singer as they moved.“Out of 108 club musicians in Kobe，”he says，“I was the worst！And the clients（顧客）in my club were the worst singers！” One client，the president of a small steel company，was especially fond of Inoue’s slow，follow-along style.It made the president’s bad，out-of-time singing sound much better.One evening he wanted Inoue to play for him on a trip to a hot springs resort（勝地）.The boss wanted to sing Frank Nagai’s Leaving Haneda Airport on a 7:50 Flight for his friends.But Inoue was unable to leave his job. To help out his most loyal client，he decided to provide him with a tape.Inoue wouldn’t be there，but the singer would still have his accompaniment.Karaoke was born. 1.Daisuke Inoue took up the drums at high school because ______. A.they were his favourite musical instruments B.he knew they would help him make money C.he thought they were easy to learn D.it was easy for a drummer to find a job 答案：C 2.What does the underlined word“they”stand for? A.His partners. B.His friends. C.The latest tunes. D.The singer’s lips. 解析：弄清代詞所指對(duì)于把握行文邏輯至關(guān)重要。本句中只有一個(gè)復(fù)數(shù)名詞lips，因而并不難作出判斷。 答案：D 3.From this passage we know Daisuke Inoue was ______. A.an outstanding musician B.not quite good at music C.a good singer and dancer D.good at inventing things 解析：連識(shí)譜都不會(huì)，哪里稱(chēng)得上出色的音樂(lè)家！他自己都承認(rèn)他是最差的。他歪打正著發(fā)明了卡拉OK，并不能說(shuō)明他擅長(zhǎng)發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。 答案：B 4.Why did the president like Inoue’s playing so much? A.Because Inoue followed his singing. B.Because Inoue played very well. C.Because he had got used to Inoue’s fast，exciting style. D.Because Inoue was an easy-going man with a quick smile. 答案：A B Wouldn’t it be great to get paid to not work?This isn’t just a dream at companies that offer sabbaticals（休假）.Employers say they’re a valuable way to give their workers a change of scenery and prevent them from being tired out.Unfortunately，only 3% of companies offer paid sabbaticals（12% offer unpaid），according to the Society for Human Resource Management（SHRM）.But even if you’re not lucky enough to work for one of them，you can still enjoy a break.Three choices: Chunk of Time.To get a lengthier break than normal，save long weekends for vacation time，delay your days off till next year，borrow some time from next year to use now，or use extratime off for overtime hours，suggests Bonnie Michaels，president of the Society. Unpaid Time.If your family has no money problem，ask for a longer leave without pay.“But do your homework first，”says Michaels.Research the costs for your break，plan your break at a time during which your company is not operating if possible，then be business-like and present your leave proposal so that your manager will believe that you’ll work better if you are more energetic after the leave. No Time.Just can’t get away?Read How to Take a Sabbatical without Taking More than a Week Off（Simon & Schuster），by Pam Ammondson，which shows an eight-week program to renew your energy and reduce your stress even while you’re working. 1.The words“one of them”in the first paragraph refer to ______. A.12% of companies that offer unpaid sabbaticals B.a company that offers paid sabbaticals C.one of the three choices D.SHRM 答案：B 2.The writer describes three choices to make the point that ______. A.busy employees can also enjoy longer holidays B.it is the employees’ right to have a paid holiday every year C.an eight-week program to renew your energy is the best choice D.employees should persuade their managers to give them sabbaticals 解析：三種方案都需與雇主協(xié)商、統(tǒng)籌安排才可實(shí)施。 答案：D 3.When Michaels says that you should do your homework first，he means before asking for a leave ________. A.you should work hard to satisfy your manager B.you should finish all the work that is required of you C.you should talk to your manager about the cost for your break D.you should find out the basic information and facts about your job 解析：do one’s homework 常用于表達(dá)“為某事做些必不可少的準(zhǔn)備工作”之意。 答案：D 4.Which of the following information can you probably find in the book by Ammondson? A.Advice on planning a paid leave. B.Advice on managing your traveling cost. C.Ways of making the best use of your weekend breaks. D.Ways of persuading your manager to give you a sabbatical. 答案：C 5.The best title for the text would be ______.

Janet Jagan was a trained nurse from Chicago.In 1943，when she was twenty-three，she went to Guyana to work in the dental（牙科）office of Dr. Cheddi Jagan.Janet Jagan immediately became involved in the Guyanan labor movement，and in 1946 helped to found the Women’s Political and Economic Organisation（W. P. E. O.） and the Political Affairs Committee（P. A. C.），and began editing the P. A. C. newspaper.In 1950 she co-founded the People’s Progressive Party along with her husband，Cheddi Jagan.This party was instrumental in achieving Guyana’s independence from British rule. While her husband gained fame in the P. P. P.，Janet Jagan continued as a leader in the struggle for workers’ rights.In 1970，she was elected president of the Union of Guyanese Journalists（UGJ），and from 1973 to 1997，edited the Mirror，a national newspaper. The People’s Progressive Party had refused to cooperate with the government for many years to protest the dishonest control of elections.In 1992，after the first free presidential election，Dr.Cheddi Jagan became president of Guyana. In 1997 President Jagan died，and Janet Jagan ran successfully for president.On Dec. 19，1997，Janet Jagan was sworn in as the first woman president of the Republic of Guyana. Unfortunately，she was only able to serve for 20 months.On August 8，1999，Janet Jagan resigned from her ground-breaking post for health reasons. 1.Which of the following is true about Janet Jagan?

C.She was a woman with strong interest in politics. D.She became president of Guyana a few years after her husband’s death. 解析：本題為綜合理解題。從文章第一段最后一句話“...ran for president of Guyana，she actually won.”和最后一段的意思分析，可以排除A項(xiàng)。文章中沒(méi)有說(shuō)明她作護(hù)士受尊重的情況，排除B項(xiàng)。文章最后一段說(shuō)明她丈夫去世后她馬上就當(dāng)選了圭亞那的總統(tǒng)，排除D項(xiàng)。文章第二、三段全面說(shuō)明了她對(duì)政治活動(dòng)的喜愛(ài)，直到最后當(dāng)選為總統(tǒng)，所以C項(xiàng)正確。 答案：C 2.How old was Janet Jagan when she became president of the country? A.75. B.30. C.50. D.77. 解析：此題為細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段說(shuō)明“In 1943，when she was twenty-three...”，最后一段說(shuō)明“On Dec. 19，1997，she...first woman president...”。1997-1943=54，54+23=77，故正確答案為D項(xiàng)。 答案：D 3.The underlined word“resigned”most probably means ______. A.辭職 B.病倒 C.倒臺(tái) D.再起 解析：本題為詞義理解題。文章最后一段中的unfortunately和serve要重點(diǎn)理解。意思是因?yàn)榻】翟?，從工作崗位上“辭職”而停止“serve”。 答案：A D Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“I was a clothes addict，”he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.”Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office.He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I’m working harder than ever，”David says，“and I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States.The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）.This became known as“dress-down Friday”or“casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing，”said business consultant，Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.“A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work，”says the owner of a software company，“so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.In a study conducted by Levi Strauss Company，85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale.Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money.“Suits are expensive，if you have to wear one every day，”one person said.“For the same amount of money，you can buy a lot more casual clothes.” 1.David Smith refers to himself as having been“a clothes addict”because ______. A.he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt B.he couldn’t stand a clean appearance C.he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time D.he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes 解析：文章第一段中的“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.”說(shuō)明了這一原因。 答案：C 2.David Smith wears casual clothes now，because ______. A.they make him feel at ease when working B.he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes C.he looks handsome in casual clothes D.he no longer works for any company 解析：文章第一段中的“Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office.He hardly ever wears a necktie.‘I’m working harder than ever，’David says，‘a(chǎn)nd I need to feel comfortable.’”說(shuō)明了這一原因。feel comfortable=feel at ease。 答案：A 3.According to this passage，which of the following statements is TRUE? A.Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago. B.Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s. C.“Dress-down Friday”was first given as a favor from employers. D.Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people. 解析：文章的第二段內(nèi)容說(shuō)明了這一事實(shí)：從20世紀(jì)90年代起，許多公司才同意他們的員工只能在每周的星期五上班穿便裝，以后逐漸成為每天都允許的事情。 答案：C E A man came home from work late，tired and irritated（生氣的，不耐煩的），to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. “Daddy，may I ask you a question?” “Yeah sure，what is it？”replied the man. “Daddy，how much do you make an hour?” “That’s none of your business.Why do you ask such a thing?”the man said angrily. “I just want to know.Please tell me，how much do you make an hour?”pleaded the little boy. “If you must know，I make $ 20 an hour.” “Oh，” the little boy replied，with his head down.Looking up，he said，“Daddy，may I please borrow $ 10?” The father was furious（生氣的），“If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense，then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why you are being so selfish.I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and，started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions.How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so，the man had calmed down，and started to think:Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.“Are you asleep，son?” He asked. “No，daddy，I’m awake，”replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking，maybe I was too hard on you earlier，”said the man.“It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation（怒氣）on you.Here’s the $10 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up，smiling.“Oh，thank you，daddy！”He yelled.Then，reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皺皺巴巴的） up bills.The man，seeing that the b
