試題分析：文章講述了一個寓言故事。一頭毛驢掉到深井里，主人打算放棄它，用土把井填上。起初毛驢驚恐哀叫，但是不久，人們竟然發現毛驢把填到井里的土都踩在腳下，然后一點一點地接近了地面。故事告訴我們，當人們面對困境時，不要驚慌失措，要善于利用不利條件，將它們變成我們通向成功的基石。
1.C 考查副詞辨析。A. 高興地；B. 幾乎不；C. 難過地；D. 非常，很。從情理可知毛驢掉到深井里，當然會傷心難過，所以C選項正確。句意：毛驢悲哀得嚎叫。
2.B 考查動詞短語。A. 執行，開展；B. 想出；C. 遺漏； D. 小心，留神。毛驢掉到井里了，從情理上推斷主人應該去想辦法如何把它弄上來，所以B選項正確。
3.C考查形容詞辨析。A年輕的；B. 小的；C. 老的；D. 大的。從下文主人做出要掩埋毛驢的決定可以推斷出毛驢是老了，沒什么用了，所以C選項符合語境。
4.A考查動詞辨析。A. 營救；B. 殺死；C. 出售； D. 購買。從常理可知毛驢掉井里了主人要做的就是把它救上來，所以選A。
5.B考查名詞辨析。 A. 錢；B. 努力；C. 表揚；D. 時間。根據常識可知把掉井里的毛驢弄到地面上不是容易的事情，所以此處用effort“努力，費勁”。句意：他認為不值得花大力氣把這頭老驢弄上來。
6.B 考查動詞短語。A. 繞道而行；B.過來；C. 降低；D. 共計。從下文主人和鄰居一起填井可知，此時毛驢的主人請鄰居們過來，故正確答案是B。
7.C 考查名詞辨析。A.石頭；B.泥土；C. 灰塵；D. 土壤。從下文28空后面的each shovel load of dirt 可知C選項正確。
8.A考查動詞辨析。A.意識到；B. 發現；C. 聽說； D. 看到。從情理推測毛驢看到人們用土埋井，應該是明白了主人的意圖打算，所以此處用realize，正確答案是A。
9.A考查副詞辨析。A.再，又；B. 曾經；C. 從來不；D. 一旦，一次。從文章開頭The animal cired 可知此處應該是“再次，又”，所以A選項正確。
10.B考查名詞辨析。A.高興； B. 驚訝；C失望；D.興奮。按照情理，毛驢在一直哀嚎，突然間不叫了，人們應該是感到納悶，好奇，所以選B。
11.B考查副詞辨析。A.離開；B. 向下；C. 向上；D. 結束。因為人們在地面上，向井里看的時候應該是低頭向下看，所以選B。
12.A考查形容詞辨析。A.驚訝的；B. 難過的；C. 擔心的；D. 生氣的。上文講人們對毛驢突然不叫了感到好奇，而且下文29空后出現的something surprising 也提示了此處是發生了讓人驚訝的事，故A選項正確。句意：農民低頭向井里看，對于他所看到的情景感到萬分驚訝。
13.A考查介詞辨析。A.用，具有；B.當。。時；C.因為；D. 在。。。上面。從情景判斷此處是毛驢如何應對落到它身上的泥土的，后句中的do和with恰好構成短語do sth with sth“處理，對付”，句意：對于落到它身上的每一鐵鍬泥土，毛驢做著讓人驚訝的舉動。故A選項正確。
14.A 考查動詞辨析。A. 做；B. 有C. 制作；D. 考慮。從詞義搭配上可知選A。do thing“做事”
15.D 考查動詞辨析。A.開始； B. 停止；C. 開始；D.繼續。從文章內容可知此處不是開始也不是停止填井，而應該是繼續這樣做，故D選項正確。
16.B 考查介詞短語。A. 在。。。的頂端（內部）；B. 在。。。的頂部（外部）；C.在。。。腳下；D. 在。。。前面。從情理推測人們埋井填土時，土是落到驢子的身上，所以選B。
17.B考查副詞辨析。A.幸運地；B. 成功地；C.艱難地；D. 容易地。從上文he take a step up可知通過把土踩到腳下，毛驢成功地又回到地面上，所以B選項正確。
18.A考查名詞辨析。A生活，生命；B. 世界；C. 時間；D. 工作。從情理推測此處是作者是就這個故事發表議論，來暗示人們對待生活的態度，所以A選項正確。
19.B 考查介詞辨析。A離開；B. 在。。。上；C. 向上；D. 向下。從故事的敘述可知泥土是落到毛驢身上，所以同樣地，生活的煩惱和困擾也像塵土一樣落到你的身上，所以B為正確選項。
20.A考查副詞辨析。 A.向上；B.離開；C.向里，在。。。里；D. 向外，在。。。外。Give up是固定短語“放棄”；give away“泄漏，贈送”；give in“屈服，投降”；give out“分發，用盡”從故事可知，人們要不放棄，才會獲得成功，所以A選項正確。
考點：考查故事類短文。

I don’t want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天體物理學), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens (鏡片) of gender (性別) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相對于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑釁) : I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
【小題1】Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
| A．She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧視). |
| B．She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. |
| C．She is not good at telling stories of the kind. |
| D．She finds space research more important. |
| A．the burden she bears in a male-dominated society |
| B．her involvement in gender politics |
| C．her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist |
| D．the very fact that she is a woman |
| A．Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation. |
| B．Women can balance a career in science and having a family. |
| C．Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. |
| D．Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career. |

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East Indian Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.
67．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A. The British got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C．The British were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D．It was not until the 17th century that the British had tea.
68．Tea became a popular drink in Britain_____________.
A．in eighteenth century B．in sixteenth century
C．in seventeenth century D．in the late seventeenth century
69．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because_____________.
A．it tasted like milk
B．it tasted more pleasant
C．it became a popular drink
D．Madame de Sevigne was such a lady with great social influence that people tried
to copy the way she drank tea
70．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly
due to the influence of ________.
A．a famous French lady B．the ancient Chinese
C．the upper social class D．people in Holland
71．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The history of tea drinking in Britain B．How tea became a popular drink in Britain
C．How the British got the habit of drinking tea D．How tea-time was born

There was once a beautiful nymph called Echo. But Echo had one failing; she was fond of talking, and whether in chat or argument, would have the last word. As she was good company , she and Zeus became good friends. However，Zeus’ wife, Hera, became jealous. She followed Zeus to the earth to find out what he was doing and Zeus asked Echo to distract Hera until he could escape. Later when Hera discovered she had been tricked, she became very angry. She turned on Echo and said, “You shall lose the use of your tongue because you cheated me. You’ll have the last word, bur no longer have the power to speak first.” So from that moment on, Beautiful Echo was hardly able to hold a conversation because she could only repeat the last words of those around her. She became very embarrassed and hid herself deep in the woods.
One day a handsome young man called Narcissus came into the woods. He had been hunting deer and lost his way. However, the moment Echo saw him, she fell in love with him. She followed him, wishing to tell him but unable o begin a conversation. Oh, how she wished she could speak first. Unfortunately, Narcissus was far too busy worrying about where his companions might be and how he could find his way home.
Eventually Narcissus, with Echo following behind along, came to a pool of water in the middle of the woods. Feeling thirsty, Narcissus bent down to drink. As he did so, he saw a beautiful creature in the water staring up at him. . He immediately bent over and said to him, “I love you!” Echo, nearby, and seeing her chance, immediately responded “…. I love you!” But it was too late. Narcissus was already in love, with himself.
` The stranger seemed to rise up closer to Narcissus who was so involved that he entirely failed to notice Echo. “I want to stay and look at this beautiful sight forever,” he whispered dreamily to himself.”… Forever,” repeated Echo sadly. “Come her,” called Narcissus to his reflection as he moved his head and the creature seemed to move away. “…Here.” responded Echo. Narcissus bent back down to see his reflection more clearly. “So beautiful! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful!” “….So beautiful!” responded Echo truthfully.
Narcissus remained by the water refusing all Echo’s silent offers of food and drink until he died. Where he had been, a flower grew in his place, as beautiful as Narcissus himself. As for Echo, from that time forward, she also didn’t eat or drink till she turned to rocks and all that was left was her voice. Even now you can still hear Echo trying to attract Narcissus’ attention by repeating his words and still see Narcissus as a beautiful flower growing near a pool.
63. Why was Echo unable to let Narcissus know she loved him?
A. Because she had lost the ability to speak. B. Because she was too shy to speak first.
C. Because Hera had taken away her ability to speak first.
D. Because Narcissus took no notice of her.
64. “The stranger” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. Echo B. A fairy in the woods. C. Hera. D. Narcissus himself.
65. Which of the following kinds of person can be described as a “Narcissus”?
A. A person who loves and admires himself or herself.
B. A person who’s afraid of being separated from companions.
C. A person who is too shy to have a chat with other people.
D. A person who loves to admire beautiful water flowers.
66. Which of the following is the correct order of the events?
a) Hera wouldn’t let Echo start a conversation.
b) Narcissus fell in love with his reflection in the water.
c) Echo saw Narcissus and fell in love at the first sight.

e) Narcissus became a flower and Echo a rock.

The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could
Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.
There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36 he set his mind to it.
He knew that his 37 had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate 38 that would dwarf (使相形見絀) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could 39 books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could 40 things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.
There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one 41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to 42 all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any 43 meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and 44 children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide 45 he should bring his potential into full play.
Time went by, and he grew 46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.
One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling 47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked 48 into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49 one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped 50 forever.
The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以為是，自鳴得意) by thinking that they could have 51 this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but 52 . You simply lack something that is 53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower, 54 something else. In fact, 55 you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.
