Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing， I felt my heart break．I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problem，and I didn’t want my parents to worry about me．

Then one day，my classmates talked happily with their friends，but I sat at my

desk unhappily as usual．At that moment， a boy entered the classroom．I didn’t know who he was． He passed me and then turned back．He looked at me and, without a word，smiled．

Suddenly，I felt the touch of something bright and friendly．It made me feel happy，lively and warm．

That smile changed my life．I started to talk with the other students and made friends．Day by day，I became closer to everyone in my class．The boy with the lucky smile has be- come my best friend now．

One day，I asked him why he smiled，but he couldn't remember smiling at me!

It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone． Now I believe that the world is what you think it is．If you think you are lonely，you might always be alone．So smile at the world and it will smile back．

答案与解析

I. 单项选择。

1．C。考察形容词词义辨析。selfish“自私的”；patient“有耐心的”；humorous “幽默的”；generous“慷慨的”。根据语境“他的确有一副严肃的脸孔，但内心却是很……。”和句中的but可知，严肃和幽默是对应的。故选C。

2．C。考察five-year-old作前置定语的用法。five-year-old这类复合词可以用作形容词，意为“五岁的”，表示计量的名词总是用单数形式。这类结构通常用作前置定语，不用作表语。

3．C。考察频度副词的使用。句意：这个妇女很忙，所以她很少看电视。often“经常”；always“总是”；seldom“很少”；almost“几乎”。故选C。

4．B。考察词义辨析。通过答语中的Take it easy“放松”和常识可知，“考试前我真的很紧张”，用形容词nervous表达。

5．B。句意：——你还记得那次事故吗，丹尼?——当然，我永远不会忘记，尽管发生这么长时间了。由题意可知这里表示转折，应该用even though。

6．C。of是介词，其后应该跟v.-ing形式，因此答案为C。

7．C。句意：我过去常常早晨读书，但现在我习惯于睡觉前读书。“过去常常做某事”

应该表示为“used to do sth．”；“习惯于做某事”应该表示为“be used to doing sth．”，因此答案为C。

8．B。考察形容词辨析。active“积极的”；shy“害羞的”；honest“正直的”；outgoing “外向的”。由后半句句意“但是现在她喜欢结识新朋友并且喜欢和他们交谈”可知，前半句意思应为“萨莉过去很害羞”。故选B。

9．C。由I can't see the blackboard clearly“我看不清黑板”可推知明明站在那儿的原因是他“前面”坐着两个高个子男孩，故答案选C，意为“在……的前面”。

10．B。考察动词短语辨析。由题意“我做饭的时候请你照顾我的孩子好吗”可知用take care of“照顾；照看”。take out of取出；take part in参加；take away from减少；贬低，均不符合题意。

11．C。考察主谓一致的用法。依据前半句中的谓语动词“is(一般现在时)”可推断出后半句的时态也应是一般现在时，故排除B、D两项；短语“a number of…”后的谓语动词用复数形式，故选C。

12．C。考察情景交际。根据句意“——我们应当回收纸和瓶子，那样能够帮助保护环境。——我同意你的观点。那样做也能够省钱。”可以判断用I agree。所以选择答案C。

13．D。考察动词的时态。since“自从……以来”，是现在完成时的标志词，因此这句话用现在完成时。

14．A。used to do sth．结构的一般疑问句应在句首加did，然后将used变为use，因此答案为A。

15．D。考察交际用语。由上文语境“我过去常打网球，但现在我参加了游泳队”可知只有D项“人是会变的”与之符合。

Ⅱ. 完形填空。

1．A。由“in her school class”可排除C、D。Susan有长长的、金黄色的头发和蓝色的大眼睛，她班上的大多数孩子也有。故选A。

2．A。通过前文提到的“我像别人一样!我不特别!我烦!”可知她向母亲抱怨。故选A。

3．C。她的烦恼是“不与众不同”，所以她决定让自己变得不同。故选C。

4．B。还是没有人注意到。否定句中用either表示“也”。故选B。

5．D。由下文”She made Susan … the ink out of her hair”可知Susan将墨水倒在了头发上。故选D。

6．C。句意：但是不管她做什么，还是没有引起注意，并且没有人认为她特别。

Unit 4 (Para. 1) In the last few centuries, marriage has been connected to romantic love.This kind of package deal is not easy to maintain and indeed many people fail while trying to do so. Nevertheless, most people still pursue this deal. This is another type of paradox associated with marriage. 在过去的几个世纪里，婚姻总是和浪漫的爱情联系起来。这一揽子交易可不容易维护，的确，很多人在试图将婚姻和浪漫的爱情结合起来时失败了。不过，许多人仍然追求婚姻。这是和婚姻相关的另一种自相矛盾的情况。 (Para. 2)Some of the main difficulties of this package deal are the following: (a) in modern society, marriage is no longer unique in fulfilling tasks such as raising children and enhancing one’s status and financial situation,(b) long-term romantic relationships are problematic in that they lack significant changes, which are so meaningful to emotions in general and love in particular, and (c) the greater flexibility of romantic boundaries in modern society make it harder to maintain strict emotional connections and constraints, such as those recommended in marriage. 要实现这一揽子交易，有如下几点主要的困难：1. 在现代社会，婚姻已不是实现像抚养孩子，加强个人地位，及改善经济状况等任务的惟一形式。2. 长期的浪漫关系的问题在于他们缺乏重大变化，而变化对于普遍意义的情感特别是爱情具有重要意义。3.浪漫的界线在现代社会中更加灵活，这就使得那些在婚姻关系中建议的严格的情感联系和限制难以维持。 (Para. 3a) In modern society, most of the penalties for dissolving a marriage have been removed and many of the incentives that marriage offers can be obtained in other social frameworks. 现代社会中，大多数由于结束婚姻关系所受的惩罚已被取消，而婚姻关系提供的许多奖励也能通过其他社会结构获得。 The choice of staying within a marriage depends, therefore, more on the issue of love than on those traditionally unique advantages of marriage, such as raising children and enhancing one’s status and financial situation. 因此，选择继续留在婚姻中更多的是由于爱情而不是婚姻关系具有的那些传统的独特的优势，例如抚养孩子，加强个人地位，及改善经济状况。 (Para. 3b) If a person feels that her present marital relationship prevents her from experiencing genuine love (and from personal development and satisfaction), there is little incentive for her to stay in the marriage. The fact that most divorce cases now cite a lack of love as the reason for seeking to end the marriage indicates the greater importance that love has in contemporary marriages. 如果一个人觉得她目前的婚姻不能使她体验真挚的爱情，以及她的个人发展和内心满足，她就不太有维持婚姻关系的动机了。许多离婚案件现在会用缺少爱情作
