36---55 CDCAD BADBC ADBCA CBADB
36.surprising表示“令人驚訝的”，要選對C，必須通讀全文。作者是按原來的老看法以為其表兄還是家里最弱的一個，沒想到一場比賽下來，作者只贏了一分。因而令其大吃一驚。A項“encouraging”表示“令人鼓舞的”；B項“hopeless”表示“無望的”；D項“regular”表示“有規律的”均與本文意思不一致。答案為C。
37.A項“declared”表示“宣布”；B項“mentioned”表示“提及，提到”；C項“persuaded”表示“說服”；D項“suggested”表示“建議”。如果不推敲we play的謂語時態，四個選項應該都可以。但只有suggested其后的賓語從句才能用動詞原形作謂語。答案為D。
38.easy表示“輕松”。該空要想填對，先要理解figure on(指望、料想)的意思，而且要熟悉全文。因為作者還以為其表兄象原來那樣體質很差。所以，當其表兄來電話要和他進行一場網球比賽時，他才表現了不屑一顧，指望會輕松地獲勝。答案為C。
39.exercise“鍛煉”，而racquetball正是一項體育運動，所以A合適。preparation“準備”；joy“樂事”；fitness“適當”。答案為A。
40. effort?making“做出努力的”。Ed認為體育鍛煉就像把叉子放在嘴邊一樣毫不費力。Time-saving“節省時間的”；comfortable“舒服的”；suitable“合適的”。答案為D
41. 該句要說的是，作者只要一想起來，在他面前就會出現一位大腹便便，體質不強的表兄。因此，這里表示的應是條件as long as“只要”，而不是時間(as soon as/when),也不是原因(since)。答案為B。
42.用strangely“奇異地”是為了表明其表兄積極向上的樂觀性格，只有具備了這樣性格的
人，才能有克服困難的決心。B項personally表示“私人的，個人的”，表示說話人的觀點；C項reasonably表示“合理的”；D項eagerly表示“熱切的”，均不符合。答案為A。
43.joke about“開玩笑”，因為Ed的肚子像氣球似地挺在T恤衫與褲子之間，所以常常引得家人開玩笑。care“關心”；forget“遺忘”；quarrel“爭吵”，均不合語意。答案為D。
44.上文已經提到，Ed的肚子像氣球似的挺在T恤衫與褲子之間，這說明T恤太小不合身，但是他卻拒絕買一件大的或者減肥。答案為B。
45.該空如不看前后文似乎都可以填。set out 表示“動身、著手”；got ready(for)表示“準備好”；arrived表示“到達”；returned表示“返回”。但根據前后句可知，兩個人已經有一段時間不見了，所以電話聯系表兄要來，用arrived最好。答案為C。
46.notice“注意，發現”。作者描寫看到Ed的胃變小到無法注意的地步了，在這里作者強調表兄的巨大變化。B項admire是“羨慕”；C項believe表示“相信、認為”；D項measure“測量”均與題意不符。答案為A。
47.要填對此空，必須弄明白前面一句的意思。該句是說，當作者見到其表兄時，令他大吃一驚的是，表兄的便便大腹沒有了，襯衫的下擺也輕松地扎在腰帶里了。因而使作者驚得一時說不出話來，用speechless(一時說不出話來/啞口無言)最好。后一句Get oneself into shape意思是“使自己有個好體型”。我表兄肯定經過一翻努力使自己有了一個好的體型。答案為D。
48.As a result“結果是”。Ed進行了減肥，結果是打球的能力也得到了鍛煉。答案為B。
49.instead“代替”作者預料他與Ed之間的比賽結果是“9∶1”，而實際結果卻是“7∶9”，以實際結果代替預料結果。答案為C。
50.根據7比9的比分，可知表兄領先，應用leading(先導的/帶頭的)。B項coming“到來”；C項waiting“等待”；D項counting“計算”，均與題意不合。答案為A。
51.continue“繼續”。根據下文when the score was 16 up 說明比賽尚未結束，雙方發瘋似的繼續比賽，都想擊敗對手。而A項pretended“假裝”；B項stopped“停止”；D項decided“決定”均不合題意。答案為C。
52.該句前后的句意是：當比賽打到16平時，作者才開始認真懷疑起自己21歲是怎么過來的，更不用說兩人竟會打到這么多分了。該句既表明了作者對表兄的敬佩，又對自己虛度年華表示后悔。因此用doubts最好。A項thoughts“思想、看法”；C項situations“形勢、情況”；D項problems“問題”均不合語意。答案為B。
53.score(體育比賽中)得分。當分數達到16時，我真的懷疑是否能活到21歲，更不用說得那么多分數了。其中let alone表示“不消說，理所當然”；that many points中的that相當于so。答案為A。
54.一場激戰之后，雙方都累得躺在地上動彈不了。答案為D。
55. 比賽的結果是雙贏的局面，我雖然贏了這場比賽，但他卻贏得了我的敬佩。因而用respect順理成章。答案為B。

A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess（女家庭教師）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”
“Forty.”
“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”
“Two months and five days.”
“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.
“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”
Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.
“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”
“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.
“But I made a note of it.”
“Well... if you say so.”
“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”
Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!
“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”
“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”
I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
“Merci （法語: 謝謝）,”she whispered.
I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.
“For the money. ”
“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’？”
“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”
“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）—to be such a fool?”
Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”
I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”
While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her ________.
A. a protest B. gratitude
C. obedience D. an explanation
What shocked the writer was Julia’s ________.
A. nervousness in front of her boss

C. shyness when talking about money

The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.
A. to be more aggressive
B. to be more careful in her work
C. to protect her right
D. to live independently
At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”to show ________.

I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents didn’t agree with me when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(醫學預科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.
I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(電視連續劇). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.
Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with gun—all action．
