Neighbors hel
23、ped one another raise a house, build a barn (谷仓 ), and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, neighboring is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live close by. We live in an age of machines, and
24、 each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents time, women met while they hung out their washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed their lawns. Tod
25、ay, women stay in the house with their automatic (自动的 ) driers. The men cant hear anything above the roar of their power lawn mowers. And the children are inside watching their favorite TV shows. Is the idea of being neighborly old-fashioned? In 1985, a power failure hit New York City, and many thou
26、sands of people were left stranded (困住，滞留 ). Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and our largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other persons helped direct traffic. Trapped in elevators, people played word games and helped kee
27、p each other in good spirit. In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being good neighbors is important. 52 Which is true according to this passage? （ A） The other families might not even know a family that lived close by in the past.
28、（ B） We live in an age of machines when machines can do everything. （ C） Neighboring is not as common as it used to be. （ D） Everyone shared the same problem power is not enough for daily use. 53 What does the writer of this passage want to tell us? （ A） Since human beings cannot live alone, neighbo
29、ring will be important again. （ B） Machines are not good because they keep people apart. （ C） Neighbors are not necessary in our time of machines. （ D） Machines can replace good neighbors as they can work for people and entertain people. 54 Which statement do you agree with after your reading? （ A）
30、When the power failure hit New York City, people only minded their own business. （ B） Nobody needs all the machines we have made till now. （ C） People used to pay each other with their building, raising, and so on. （ D） People have difficulties in finding a good neighbor today. 54 Which picture do y
31、ou find the most interesting? Ask as many people as you can to see which picture they prefer. I have found that most people prefer Illustration A. The shape of the bushes in Illustration B is the same and they are the same distance from the edge of the picture. The center of balance of the picture i
32、s right in the middle, and this equality seems to be boring. This principle applies to abstract shapes as well. The squares in Illustration C are all the same. There is no reason for us to look around the picture; if we have seen one square then we have seen them all. In Illustration D the squares a
33、re different, each has individual character. We look from one rectangle to another comparing them and thinking about their relationship. Illustration D is a little more interesting. When we look at Illustration C our eyes dont move; when we look at Illustration D our eyes move as they look at each s
34、hape. Try it and notice how your eyes move. Show C and D to a friend. Position yourself so that you can see your friends eyes. Tell your friend to look at each drawing for a few moments, while you try to guess which one they are looking at by the way their eyes move. Every picture is made of shapes,
35、 spots, lines and spaces. The shapes may be people and roads and trees and skies. They may not represent anything at all. But the arrangement in the picture will always be important. The arrangement can express so many different feelings, like music. 55 _ seems to be boring according to the passage.
36、 （ A） Illustration A （ B） Illustration B （ C） The shape of the bushes （ D） The arrangement in Illustration A and D 56 When we look at Illustration C, _. （ A） our eyes dont move （ B） we think about the relationship between the squares （ C） we guess what the shapes may be （ D） we express the artists f
37、eelings 57 It is likely that the author wants to tell us _. （ A） how to draw pictures （ B） why to draw pictures （ C） how to enjoy pictures （ D） what to be seen in pictures 57 I often find myself asking my grandmother to tell me stories of peoples life that occurred around the start of the Renaissanc
38、e(文艺复兴 ). She says she looks forward to the times I show my inquisitive(刨根问底的 ) personality by asking her all about our familys past when they lived over in Europe, years and years ago. I must do all my responsibilities around the house, which also includes getting my homework done each evening in o
39、rder for my fun times with my grandmother to always ensue. One particular evening, I remembered doing everything my morn had told me that day to do. This was mainly because grandmother had previously promised this would be the day she would tell me all about the obsequious(谄媚的 ) and sectarian(宗派的 )
40、groups of people who lived back then. As soon as I finished all my responsibilities, I rushed over to her house which was next door to my house. However, as I was running over there as fast as I could, my shoes lost traction which made me fall because the yard was icy from the chilly weather we had
41、the night before. When I got inside of grandmothers house, she quickly noticed the hurt look on my face and began to ask me as to why my body was all bruised. Even though I didnt want to tell her exactly what I had carelessly done on my way over to see her, I did anyway. I didnt want to tell her ori
42、ginally because I knew that she would then try to make me go home without telling me a story, which in my childlike mind was a terrible thing to happen. Go home without hearing a story no way! I had worked so hard all day long in order to have this reward and nothing, not even my banged up knees and
43、 bruised elbows, would keep me from this special time with my grandmother. I told her that I did not have an intractable disease or anything, and those little bruises were things that could be taken care of after our story-time was over. Seeing that I would not give up until I heard a story, my gran
44、dmother chuckled as she said, “I had a feeling your intrinsic nature would not give up easily until you got your way.“ So finally, I got to hear the wonderful story of the experiences that my family dealt with, back in the days when my grandparents lived over in Europe. I can truly say that the stor
45、y was well worth it, too! 58 What was grandmothers attitude towards the boys inquisitive personality? （ A） She was quite annoyed because the boy always asked her to tell stories. （ B） She was too sad to remember the familys past in Europe. （ C） She was fairly happy to stay with the boy and told him

47、rs house. （ D） He had to finish all his duties around his house. 60 What is the main idea of the second paragraph? （ A） What had happened during the boys way to grandmothers house. （ B） Why he didnt want grandmother to know about why his body was bruised. （ C） How the boy was looking forward to that
48、 particular evening. （ D） The reasons why he was so curious about the life in the Renaissance. 61 Why didnt the boy tell his grandmother the truth at first? （ A） Because he didnt want his grandmother to be sad. （ B） Because he didnt want to go home without hearing a story. （ C） Because his grandmoth
49、er would be very angry. （ D） Because his grandmother would tell his morn what he had done. 62 In the third paragraph, the underlined phrase “this reward“ refers to “_“. （ A） pay （ B） happiness （ C） story-time （ D） bruise 第一节 短文改错 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右边横线上画一个勾 ()；如有错误 (每行只有一个错误 )，则按下列情况改正： 多一个词：把多余的词用斜线 ( )划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。 缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号 ( )，在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。 错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意
