【解析】
試題分析:
1.考察名詞含義辨析。memory譯為“記憶”；thought“思想”；knowledge“知識”；experience“經歷”。根據短文內容可判斷出這是作者對過去發生的事的回憶。所以memory的意思比較適合，故A項正確
2.考察引導復合句的連詞。When表示時間；where表示地點；since譯為“自從”；after譯為“……之后”，這四個連詞均可引導狀語從句，而且when和where還可引導定語從句。根據題意可知“意大利面”使作者回想起那天晚上在他的叔叔家的情景。when引導定語從句表示“在那天晚上”。故A項正確。
3.考察動詞含義的辨析。cooked譯為“烹飪，做飯”；served譯為“供應，上，進”；got為“得到，到達”；made為“制作”。根據題意可知，上文中的around the table可判斷出故事發生在飯桌旁，Aunt pat正在上意大利面條。故B項正確。
4.考察形容詞和代詞的用法。their和those為形容詞性物主代詞，past和last為形容詞。聯系上下文可知，意大利面在那些日子只不過被看做是外來的東西。In those days譯為“當時”。故D項正確。
5.考查不定代詞。none譯為“一個也沒有，毫無”，既可以代表人又可以代表物，可以與of連用；one為泛指，主要用于代替a+單數可數名詞；earns為“掙錢”；neither譯為“（兩者）都不的”，固定搭配為neither……nor……“既不……也不”。作者以前也沒有吃過意大利面，并且成年人對于做意大利面也沒什么經驗。選項中表示否定的有none和neither，但是neither不能與of連用，故A項正確。
6.考查固定短語含義辨析。Careful about意思為“對……小心”；be good at“擅長于……”；be fond of譯為“喜歡……”；be interested in譯為“對……感興趣”；to be____it做experience的定語，表示對吃意大利面條的經驗是否擅長。故B項正確。
7.考查名詞含義的辨析。speeches譯為“演講，演說”；lessons譯為“課程，經驗”；sayings意思為“說話，諺語，格言”；arguments“爭論，爭吵”；根據題意可知：由于大家都沒有吃意大利面的經驗，所以每個人的看法都不同。故D項正確。
8.考查副詞含義辨析。nearly譯為“幾乎，差不多”；naturally譯為“自然地，順理成章地”； officially 譯為“官方地，依據法規地”；socially“在社交方面的”，聯系上下文可知，根據國外的風俗，大家共同進餐被認為是一種社交活動。所以，如何有禮貌地把面條從盤子里吃到嘴里就成了爭論的焦點。故D項正確。
9.考查副詞含義辨析。Especially譯為“尤其，特別”；probably譯為“可能地”；suddenly“突然地”；fortunately譯為“幸運地”。根據題意可知作者對這件事感到有趣，所以突然冒出把這件事寫下來的想法。故C項正確。
10.考查動詞含義的辨析。根據題意可知，此項應與其后的介詞down連用構成固定短語。Settle down譯為“定居，安靜下來，平息”；put down譯為“放下，寫下，記下，估計”；bite down譯為“咬下”；let down“放低，放下，是失望，失信”；根據上題可知，作者想把這件事情寫下來，故用put down，故B項正確。
11.考查名詞含義辨析。Work意思是“工作”；story“故事”；luck譯為“幸運的事”；joy“高興的事”。根據題意可知，作者寫這件事的目的不是完成老師布置的作業，而是認為它很有趣，認為它是一件令人高興的事。故D項正確。
12.考查連詞含義辨析。However譯為“然而”，引導讓步狀語從句；therefore譯為“因此”，引導原因狀語從句；as for…譯為“講到，至于，在……方面”； Except for that譯為“除了……”；根據題意可知，至于給我的作文老師，我要寫一些其他的東西。故C項正確。
13.考查名詞含義辨析。Time“時間”；excuse“諒解，借口”；way“方法，方式”；idea“想法”。聯系上下文when I finished it the night was half gone可判斷出由于寫完講述在Uncle Allen家發生的事的短文后已經到了深夜，作者沒有時間再寫作文老師布置的題目。故A項正確。
14.考查動詞以及動詞短語含義辨析。Give up譯為“放棄”，其后接名詞或動名詞作賓語；continue譯為“繼續”，常用continue doing sth.；hand in譯為“交(作業等)”；delay譯為“推遲，推后”，delay doing sth.；聯系上下文可知，學生要交老師布置的作業。故C項正確。
15.考查動詞含義的辨析。Written意思為“寫，記”；graded“評閱(作業、試卷等)”；collected意思為“收集”；calmed意思為“使冷靜下來”；根據題意可知本題為過去分詞graded作papers的定語，表示“批閱過的作業”。 故B項正確。
16.考查副詞含義辨析。Loudly意思為“大聲地”；fast意思是“迅速地”；publicly譯為“公共地”；calmly譯為“冷靜地”。根據He was reading my words out……可知，老師在課堂上大聲地朗讀了作者寫的短文。故A項正確。
17.考查人稱代詞做主語。People譯為“人們”；nobody譯為“沒有人”；somebody譯為“一些人”；根據下文the whole class was laughing with openhearted enjoyment可判斷出同學們聽了老師朗讀的短文后，開始有一些同學笑了起來，接著全班同學開心地笑了起來，所以為一些人，故C項正確。
18.考查名詞含義辨析。Shock譯為“震驚，動搖”；wonder譯為“驚奇，奇觀”；worry譯為“擔心的事”；pleasure“愉快，樂事”。根據下文中的what I was feeling was pure happiness可判斷出作者當時內心充滿了愉悅，但是在同學面前他盡力掩飾這種情緒。故D項符合題意。
19.考查連詞的用法。If引導條件狀語從句，譯為“假如”；because引導原因狀語從句，譯為“因為”；while引導時間和讓步狀語從句，譯為“當……時候或然而”；although引導讓步狀語從句，譯為“盡管”，根據題意可知，作者是想說明自己高興的原因。故B項符合題意。
20.考查動詞含義辨析。Excited譯為“激動地，興奮的”；satisfied譯為“滿意的”；think譯為“思考”；laugh譯為“發笑”。根據上文的內容可判斷出作者為自己的作文具有使人們大笑的威力而感到高興。故D項正確。
考點：本文是一篇記敘文。
點評：本篇講述了作者在構思老師留的作文的時候看到了"spaghetti"這個單詞，想起了第一次在叔叔家吃意大利面的情形，大家對吃意大利面有著自己不同的看法，作者把這次經歷寫了下來，但是卻與老師所留的作文無關。對于一時沒有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來完成，因為有時答案可以從下文內容體現出來。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項能不能是語句通順，語意連貫。

About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to mine. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.
We often met in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I got was a hello from the four-year-old girl.
One afternoon when I returned, they were just coming out of their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. But when I looked up I saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me. I hurried as much as I could and thanked her.
I was really touched by her act of kindness. That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I bought a white Teddy bear for her. The next day, there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was very proud of the bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before.
Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner. As time passes, I don’t hear that yelling as often as before.
Last night we had about four inches of snow. I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor’s appointment. I went out to remove the snow. But when I opened my front door, I found my car was there with all the snow removed. You couldn’t imagine how I felt at that moment. I thanked that family in my heart.
Isn’t it amazing how a small kind act of a four-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? My guardian angel says that good things come from small acts.
【小題1】 Who did the writer think removed the snow on his car?
| A．That family next door. | B．Someone sent by his doctor. |
| C．Some strangers. | D．The gate keeper. |
| A．The children were very naughty and often made their parents angry. |
| B．Life must be very hard for the parents next door as they had a large family to support. |
| C．The writer put off the appointment with his doctor because of the heavy snow. |
| D．The little girl’s kind act changed the relationship between the writer and her family. |

He was 1
1 years old and often went fishing. On the day before bass (鱸魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening.
When his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish. Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
Lighting a match, the father looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy, saying, “You’ll have to put it back, Son.”
Looking around, he saw no other fisherman or boats. Even so, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect (建筑師) in New York. He often takes his son to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that nigh
t long ago. But he does see that same fish… again and again… every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. As his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
【小題1】Seeing the boy skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water, the father felt __________.

| C．worried | D．shocked |
| A．they discussed how to deal with the fish |

Once in a village, the villagers built a new church building and people came from far and wide to see it. They admired its beauty! They said it was the most beautiful building in the world. Up on the roof, a little nail（釘子）heard the people praising everything about the lovely structure – except the nail! No one even knew he was there, and he became very angry and sad.
“If I am not important, nobody will miss me if I quit!” So the nail then released (松開) its hold, got down from the roof, and fell into the mud.
That night it rained and rained. Soon, the board that had no nail was blown away, and the roof began to leak (漏水). The water flowed down along the walls and over the beautiful pictures on the walls. The plaster (石膏) began to fall, the floor was ruined, and the Bible was also ruined by water. All this was because a little nail decided to quit!
But what of the nail? While holding the board, it was not known by others but it was useful. Buried in the mud now, it was useless and would soon be eaten up by rust!
What the story wants to say is that every member is important to a whole group!
You may, like the nail, feel not important at times, but just like the nail, your absence is felt. A big building might fall to pieces. You are important to a group even if you are small.
【小題1】Why did the nail decide to quit?
| A．Because he was not able to hold on any longer. |

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a special position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest (含糊的) of insight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognized accurately hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer productions the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture; cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the built up knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relationship with plants in the wild would begin fade away.
1. Which of the following statements about early humans is expressed in the passage?
A. They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.
B. They thought there was no need to cultivate crops.
C. They did not enjoy the study of botany.
D. They placed great importance on the ownership of property.
2. What does the comment “This is logical.” In the first paragraph mean?
A. There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestor’s knowledge of plants.
B. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.
C. It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in pre-industrial societies.
D. Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.
3. According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany begun to fade?
A. People no longer value plants as a useful resource.
B. Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.
C. Research is unable to keep up with the increasing numbers of plants.
D. Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.
4. In the second paragraph, what is the author’s purpose in mentioning “ a rose, an apple, or an orchid”?
A. To make the passage more poetic.
B. To give an example of plant that are attractive.
C. To give botanical examples that all readers will recognize.
D. To explain the variety of botanical life.
5. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?
A. The invention of agricultural tools and machinery.
B. The development of a system of names for plants.
C. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.
D. The changing diets of early humans.
