【语篇解读】
文章讲述了三个小故事：有人因为没有倾心欣赏著名钢琴家的演奏而遗憾；朋友因为妻子的去世而遗憾；一个医生的儿子因为没有实现自己的愿望而遗憾。事件的主人公都曾有很多很多美好的故事，但都被轻易错过了。
1. 答案
B
解析
根据本句的wonderfully可推知本空应该是它的近义词，所以选择B项perfectly“完美地”。
2. 答案
C
解析
根据本句中的转折连词“However”和“only six or seven people”可知只有六七个人真正欣赏他的演奏，appreciate意为“欣赏”，符合语境。play“演奏”；test“测试”；record“记录”。
3. 答案
A
解析
根据下文的“he forgot everything around.”可知这个小男孩对他的演奏非常着迷以至于忘记了身边的一切．be lost in意为“沉醉于”，符合语境。
4. 答案
D
解析
根据语境和下文的“one
5
can be sold at more than 100 dollars”可推知这里指在约翰平时正常的演奏日子里，符合文意。
5. 答案
C
解析
根据下文“it is extremely
6
to buy a ticket even at such a high price.”可知这里指约翰的演奏会举行时，一张票超过100美元。
6. 答案
A
解析
根据本句中的“even at such a high price.”和语境分析可推知这里指约翰的演奏会一票难求，用hard“困难的”。
7. 答案
C
解析
根据下文“many passers by in the station that day felt deeply
8
for”可推知这是因为他的音乐会票难求才会出现因没有认出这位著名的音乐家而后悔，上下文是因果关系，C项Therefore最符合文意。
8. 答案
B
解析
根据语境可推知不少当时就在地铁站的观众扼腕自己眼拙，regretful意为“很遗憾；后悔”。
9. 答案
A
解析
不用去音乐会就能听上约翰美妙的演奏当然是很便宜的了，所以cheap最合适。句意：人们后悔错过了一场有价值的但很廉价的音乐盛宴。rare强调“罕见”；instant强调“即刻”，皆不符合文意。
10. 答案
C
解析
根据上文的“a very busy friend”和接下来“He cooked by himself for the family”很显然推知当这位忙碌的朋友得知老婆罹患重症，彻头彻尾完全变了一个人。
11. 答案
D
解析
根据语境D项take a walk“散步”最恰当。take a dip意为“泡澡”；take a rest意为“休息”；take a breath意为“呼吸”，都不符合文意。
12. 答案
A
解析
根据上文的“his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness”可知，他的妻子最后还是过世了，所以选择passed away。put away“收拾好”,give away“释放；泄露；捐赠”；break away“脱离”，均不符合文意。

B
解析
根据下文的“... that due to his past busy life, he had
14
a lot of beautiful time with his wife.”可知这位医生很后悔因为自已太忙而错过与妻子营造最美好的人生时光，所以他叹息。

things is less than simple.”呼应。

直到那时父亲才意识到他的错误，本句是一个not until开头的倒装句。realize和mistake形成动宾关系。prove“证明”；advise“建议”；agree“同意”，不符合文意。
18. 答案
A
解析
这里指的是人生中最珍贵的不是成就，而是亲情。possessions“财产”；spirits“情绪”；harmony“和睦”，在文章中都没有体现。
19. 答案
B
解析
It is no use crying over spilt milk.意为“覆水难收”，是一个固定谚语。这里指不要对失去的事情谈后悔。

A
解析

Ⅲ.阅读理解
I often work with students in small groups providing strategies for improving reading. One of the activities I ask students to complete is a word sort that directs student focus on word features to improve decoding(解码)skills. Part of this activity involves students working together to decide how a group of words can be sorted. They must reach a conclusion and describe for me their thinking behind the word sort that they created.
Recently, I was observing students during this process, when one of the students shared that she thought this was fun. I asked her why she thought so and she replied, “My teacher doesn’t let us talk!”
It reminded me that, in our classroom lives of school reform, so many important things have been pushed out of daily instruction. As adults we can surely recognize the importance of communication in our lives. We become successful through communicating with peers, employers and partners. Without good communication skills, we are usually unable to reach our best potential. So why is that we forget to let our students do the talking? I learn so much about my students and their thinking through their imprompt(即席)conversations. Children develop language skills by using language. Yet, quiet classrooms are often regarded as“good” classrooms. Noisy classrooms are regarded as“unruly(难驾驭)”. A really productive classroom is a combination of both.
Teachers who direct students on a task and then allow them to work together to complete the task expect to hear a productive level of conversation. Sure, students get off task, but that is the teacher’s job to redirect the students. A teacher should monitor conversation, guide and engage in the conversations. Most importantly, the teacher should listen to the conversations. I actually learn from my students when I am part of the process. Students demonstrate their higher order thinking skills through language. My instruction is often guided by this enjoyable opportunity.
1. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. He has many teaching ways to make students confident.
B. He’s good at inspiring students to express themselves.
C. He doesn’t like the students who are quiet in classes.
D. He likes to make friends with students in classes.
2. Why did the students find the author’s teaching way fun?
A. Because they have enough freedom to do anything.
B. Because they can talk about everything in classes.
C. Because they can choose the activities they like．
D. Because other teachers don’t let them talk.
3. What really works in digging out the students’best potential?
A. Enough courage to debate with the teachers.
B. Enough time to allow them to make friends.
C. Excellent skills in communicating with others.
D. Extra confidence to prove they can defeat everything.
4. To make a class produce best effect, teachers should ________.
A. connect students’ suggestions with their parents’advice
B. combine their own direction with students’conversation
C. control the class completely by teaching more knowledge
D. give students complete freedom to let them control the class
答案与解析
