(Text 10)

I visit my hometown about once a year.This year，I was in town for about five days and there was a family get­together.It wasn’t a family reunion because some family members didn’t go back，but still，about 45 people showed up.

Our family parties are always held at the home of one of my brothers or sisters.We never have formal dinner parties and so we never need to cook.At the family party，some people brought casseroles，some brought chips and dip，and some brought cookies and cakes for dessert.I usually don’t have to bring anything since I’m the guest of honor.

There is always a lot of talking and laughing at our family parties.Someone always brings up old childhood memories or a funny story from the old days.Some people may think that this kind of family get­together is tiring.Because when they ask me what it’s like to be part of such a big family，I always tell them one thing：It’s noisy!

21. If a person develops an H1N1，it is ________ to get the victim to the doctor or hospital at once.

A.serious　　　　　　　 B.anxious

C.vital   D.previous

解析：选C。 考查词义辨析。serious严重的;anxious不安的;vital至关重要的;previous在先的。句意：如果一个人患上甲型HlNl流感，马上送患者去看医生或去医院是至关重要的。只有C项符合题意。

22.________ a certain doubt among the people as to the practical value of the project.

A.It has   B.They have

C.It remains   D.There remains

解析：选D。考查there be结构。remain替代了be动词。

23.You can make a complaint to the local government ________ you are happy with the way things are.

A.unless   B.if

C.once   D.as

解析：选A。考查连词。句意为：如果你对于现在的情况不满意，可以向当地政府投诉。根据句意应该选择unless。

24.I feel greatly honored ________ into their society.

A.to welcome   B.welcoming

C.to be welcomed   D.welcomed

解析：选C。welcome与“I”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故welcome需用被动语态形式。

25.For miles around me，there was nothing but a desert，without a single tree ________.

A.in sight   B.on earth

C.at a distance   D.in place

解析：选A。in sight在视野之中。at a distance在远方，与所提供的语境for miles around me矛盾。in place“在原来的地方;在合适的位置”。

26.The Beatles，________ many of you are old enough to remember，came from Liverpool.

A.what   B.that

C.how   D.as

28.After a fire broke out in the lab，a lot of equipment ________.

A.is damaged   B.had damaged

C.damaged   D.was damaged

解析：选D。equipment是不可数名词，根据语境，火灾发生在过去，很多设备被毁坏，因此选择was damaged。

29.The number of people invited ________ fifty，but a number of them ________ absent for different reasons.

A.were;was   B.was;was

C.was;were   D.were; were

解析：选C。the number of意为“……的数量”，作主语时谓语用单数形式;a number of意为“许多”，作主语时谓语用复数形式。

30.—I’ll be away on a business trip.Would you mind looking after my cat?

—Not at all.________.

A.I’ve no time   B.I’d rather not

C.I’d like it   D.I’d be happy to

解析：选D。此题考查不定式的省略，上文中已经出现了的动词，再一次以不定式的形式出现时，则只保留不定式符号to。

31.He was ________ in the battle and had his leg broken.

A.hurt   B.injured

C.damaged   D. wounded

解析：选D。wound指在战斗或战争中受伤。句意为：他在战斗中受了伤，腿断了。

32.The flowers his friend gave him will die unless ________ every day.

A.watered   B.watering

C.water   D.to water

解析：选A。 在when，while，if，as if，though，although，as，until，once，whether，unless等连接的状语从句中常省略跟主语相同的主语和系动词be。该句中watered 前省略了they are。句意为：他朋友给他的这些花如果不每天浇水就会死。

33.Peter has been out of work for half a year，so he wants to ________ a job in this company.

A.prepare for   B.apply for

A.depended on   B.depending on

C.decided on   D.deciding on

解析：选B。 考查非谓语动词短语。物品的价格根据品牌和质量而有所变化，要用depend on，且表示主动，故用现在分词形式。而decide on一般表示主语对某事做出判断和决定。

59.Which of the following will be the best title for the last paragraph?

A.Prevent Your Kids   B.Place Furniture Well

C.Wear Helmets   D.Prevent Fall

解析：选D。主旨大意题。根据本段的描述可知是告知做父母应如何预防孩子摔倒。

B

For years，drugs have been one of the major destroyers of people’s lives，as well as their families.The people who do drugs might not even realize that what they’re doing has changed the lives of not only themselves，but of the people close to them in their lives.

People on drugs have usually become addicted because of the fact that they’ve used drugs for years and have always used drugs to deal with their problems.Finally，they have no other way to deal with their problems and use other drugs to eliminate the feelings caused by other life problems.

There are several ways to get rid of (摆脱) drug addiction.The first step，as I’m sure you have heard hundreds of times，is to realize that there’s a problem.If someone in your life has been doing drugs，you’ll need to let them know that it’s hurting more than just them.

Once you’ve gotten them to realize this，if possible，you’ll need to find help for them.You’ll need a way to work out the problems in life that drag (拉) them towards drugs，or to create something else that will keep these people away from drugs.

Sometimes other addictions are in line.For example，most heavy drinkers suffer from depression (抑郁症).Over 40% of Americans suffer from depression，and over 60% of the male population of these people have turned towards drinking to deal with their problems connected with depression.This greatly increases the chances of spousal (配偶的) and child abuse (虐待)，as well as many other horrible effects of alcohol.

When someone becomes addicted to drugs，you need to deal with it immediately.Help him get rid of the problem before it turns into one which cannot be controlled.

【解题导语】　吸毒不仅仅对个人有害，也严重影响着所有和吸毒者亲近的人。文章分析了吸毒行为的深层原因，也介绍了帮助他人戒除毒瘾的一些做法。

60.The passage is mainly about ________.

A.why Americans suffer from depression and how to help them get over it

B.the family life of those who take drugs

C.the bad effects of taking drugs and how to help a drug addict

D.the number one destroyer of people’s lives

解析：选C。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了毒品的害处：吸毒和喝酒一样，不仅仅对个人有害，也严重影响着所有和吸毒者亲近的人;另外，文章还重点提到帮助他人戒毒的具体做法，故选C项。

61.The underlined word “eliminate” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.

A.give in   B.get rid of

C.make use of   D.give up

解析：选B。词义猜测题。第二段第一句提到：吸毒的人通常对毒品上瘾是因为他们好多年来一直在使用毒品，而且总是把吸毒作为逃避问题的方法。所以该句话是说：最后他们没有办法，只好寻求更多的毒品来摆脱(get rid of)更多的生活问题带来的情绪。

62.According to the passage，why do people become addicted to drugs?

A.Because they want to keep on being excited.

B.Because they want to try something different.

C.Because their friends persuade them to get drugs.

D.Because they get used to dealing with problems with drugs.

解析：选D。由第二段第一句可知，沉溺于吸毒的深层次原因是他们吸毒已经很多年，并总是通过吸毒解决其它问题，故D为正确答案。

63.What can you do to help your friend to give up his/her drug addiction?

A.Tell him/her it’s harmful.

B.Try to know about his/her family.

C.Take drugs away from him/her.

D.Do what you are interested in.

解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中的If someone in your life has been doing drugs，you’ll need to let them know that it’s hurting more than just them.可知，如果你发现有人吸毒，可以告诉他/她毒品是有害的，不仅伤害他们自己，也伤害所有和他/她亲近的人。

C

Giving Back

Fair Way

The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize.The other teams，disappointed，were on the bus heading home.And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7.They were not the state prize winner;Woburn High had won.“No one would have known，”said Woburn’s instructor，Bob Doran.For Rota，it wasn’t a difficult decision，“The prize wasn’t ours to take.”

Coin Stars

“College students are lazy，but they also want to help，”says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.So she made it easy，placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins，and handing out cups to first­year students to keep in their rooms.Her“Change for Change”effort has collected $40,000 for charities (慈善机构)，which were decided upon by students.

Never Forgotten

A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school.Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s.When his family fell on hard times，he was offered free room and board.LeBermuth became a trader，owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died，at age 89.

【解题导语】　本篇是就Giving Back(归还，回报)这一主题展开的三篇小短文。

64.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?

A.Took photos of Doran.

B.Had a meeting with Doran.

C.Returned the prize to the organizer.

D.Apologized to Woburn High School.

解析：选C。推理判断题。由Fair Way(公平，公正)短文，尤其是最后一句it wasn’t a difficult decision，“The prize wasn’t ours to take.”可知，Rota发现了记分错误，并决定把他们不应该获的奖还回组委会。故答案为C。

65.Greg Rota’s decision shows that he was ________.

A.honest   B.polite

C.careful   D.friendly

解析：选A。推理判断题。Greg  Rota知道奖品本不该属于自己时就马上决定退回奖品，说明他很诚实。

66.The underlined word “Change” in the second paragraph means ________.

A.idea   B.decision

C.cups   D.coins

解析：选D。细节推理题。change作为名词，在英语中常见的意思有两个：变化和零钱。第二篇短文描述了宾西法尼亚大学的“Change for Change(零钱换来改变)”的活动。学生们把spare coins(零钱)收集起来，捐献给慈善机构。故答案为D。

67.What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr.LeBermuth?

A.They tried to find out why he gave them the money.

B.They went to Belgium to pay their respects to him.

C.They dug out the records that were buried underground.

D.They decided to offer their students free room and board.

解析：选A。事实细节题。由but it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection...一句可知，学校收到支票后，花了好几天才查清Jacques LeBermuth与学校的联系。故答案为A。

A daughter’s duty?Adult daughters are often expected to caregive for older parents.In 2007，Jorjan Sarich and her dad moved from California to Idaho.It was where he wanted to live his rest time.

“I left my occupation，I left my friends;he did the same thing，”said Sarich，who bought a house with her father，George Snyder，in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline.Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation(论文)，Sarich chose to be her dad’s full­time caregiver.

“It’s only now，several years later，that I’m realizing how much work it was.It’s the kind of exhaustion(疲惫)that sleep doesn’t cure，” she said.

About 6 million Americans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing homes.Laurel Kennedy，author of“The Daughter Trap”(Thomas Dunne Books，$25.95)，says that women bear a disproportionate(不成比例的)share of the burden—about 70 percent of hands­on caregiving such as bathing.

“I want to be clear: Women don’t hate this，” Kennedy said.“What they hate is that everyone just assumes they’ll do it.”

Kennedy is calling for a_social_revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Employers should help working caregivers by offering accommodations.Men should step up more often.It’s unfair that women are always chosen to provide care for an elderly family member.

Despite the hard work it took on Sarich—interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end game，she would do it again.Since about half a century had gone by，she wasn’t the person he remembered，and he wasn’t the person she remembered either.Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.

68.Why did Jorjan Sarich caregive for her father?

A.It was a very easy job.

B.She had no work to do.

C.It was the social practice.

D. She lived with her father.

解析：选C。推理判断题。practice意为“惯例;习俗”，根据第一段 Adult daughters are often expected to caregive for older parents.和第四、五、六段可知，女儿照料年迈的父母被认为是一种社会的习俗。Laurel Kennedy提出总是由妇女对年迈的父母提供护理是不公平的。

69.What can we infer from the book“The Daughter Trap”?

A.Daughters don’t like caregiving.

B.Daughters devote a lot to caregiving.

C.Caregiving is daughters’ duty.

D.Caregiving should be sons’ duty.

解析：选B。细节推断题。“The Daughter Trap”一书重点写了女儿在照料年迈的父母中承担了大量的工作，然而他们毫无怨言。Kennedy呼吁一场社会的变革，应当像照料孩子那样重视老年人养老问题，儿子也应积极承担更多的责任。

70.What does the underlined phrase“a social revolution” in Paragrarph 6 refer to?

A.The child care revolution.

B.The reform in day care.

C.The social development.

D.The change in caregiving.

解析：选D。文章一开始提出了在照顾年迈的父母中女儿承担了太多的工作，因此Kennedy呼吁一场社会的变革。

71.How many years did Jorjan Sarich work as her father’s full­time caregiver?

A.Five years.   B.Only one year.

C.Four years.   D.Two years.

解析：选D。细节理解题。在2007年Sarich开始专职伺候父亲直到2009父亲去世，共两年。

You are from a middle­class family，and live in a normal­size home without any showy possessions，but you are surrounded by surprising consumption(消费).This contrast is beginning to bother your 6­year­old son.You are worried that he will want to live as they do，and wonder if you should move.

Sometimes big pocket money，joyful birthday parties，special playrooms and super­big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do，and that they’re not as careful as you are with money，but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do，talk with them as freely and read to them every night.

Or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while their child plays by himself, way off in a wing of his own.In that unfortunate case，he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly，but this can happen to a child who lives in a normal­size house，too，if he has a TV，a computer and a few video games in his room.Even the most caring parent doesn’t walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching，what Internet site he has found and if he’s still playing that video game.

Too much uncontrolled screen time may lead to a certain loss of innocence(天真)，but mostly this child will lose the sense of unity and satisfaction that comes from being in a family.

A neighborhood should also provide you with a sense of unity and satisfaction，and if it doesn’t，you might decide to move.Don’t judge your neighborhood too harshly(严厉地)，though.There are some things that are right with almost any neighborhood and some things that are wrong with the best of them—like those super­big houses.The wealth of their owners—and the way they throw_money_around—may make your son feel sorry for himself，unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money，give some to people who don’t have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the family needs.

Children want—should be provided with—explanations when their parents don’t give them what they want.

72.What is the problem with the worried parent in the text?

A.Her house isn’t as big as her rich neighbors’.

B.Her son is left alone without anyone in charge.

C.She cannot provide her son with a special playroom.

D.She worries about the effect of her neighbors on her son.

解析：选D。细节判断题。根据“but you are surrounded by surprising consumption.”和“You are worried that he will want to live as they do.”周围邻居的高消费对孩子的影响令人担忧，选C。

73.In paragraphs 2 and 3，the author seems to agree that parents should ________.

A.spend more time with their children

B.give their children more freedom

C.work hard to lead a richer life

D.set an example for their children to follow

解析：选A。推理题。第二段和第三段讲邻居家里很有钱，他们可能对孩子很关注，和孩子一起玩，也可能对孩子不管不顾。从对两种态度的比较可以看出作者觉得应该更多的关注和照顾孩子。

74.By saying “throw money around”(Paragraph 5)，the author means that rich people ________.

A.spend money carelessly

B.save money for their children

C.help the poor people willingly

D.leave money all round the house

解析：选A。词义猜测题。throw money around的直接意思是“到处扔钱”。根据“may make your son feel sorry for himself, unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money”可知有钱人“扔钱”是随意乱花的意思。

75.What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text?

A.Children are unfortunate to have poor parents.

B.Children should enjoy their comfortable life.

C.Children need proper guidance from their parents.

D.Children feel ashamed of themselves in a rich neighborhood.

解析：选C。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了一位母亲在培养孩子中对钱财的看法。富有并不一定能给孩子带来幸福，要多关心孩子并引导孩子树立正确的金钱观。
