A letter to Edward，a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr Expert，
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home.I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible.Now，at age 20，I have a good job and a nice house，and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem：several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me.But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like.They bring boyfriends over，talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home，not a party house.I was old enough to move out on my own，so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?
Joan
Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan，
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child，you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛)，you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send.For example，“I really love your company but I also need some privacy.So please call before you come over.”
41. We can learn from the first letter that Joan________.
A．lives away from her parents
B．takes pride in her friends
C．knows Mr Expert quite well
D．hates her parents very much
42．We can infer from the first letter that________.
A．Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B．Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C．Joan doesn’t like the parties at all
D．Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
43．According to Mr Expert，why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A．She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B．She does not understand true friendship.
C．Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D．She does not put her needs first.
44．The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means________.
A．dependent life
B．fierce fight
C．bad manners
D．painful feeling
45．The second letter suggests that Mr Expert________.
A．is worried about Joan’s problem
B．warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C．advises Joan on how to refuse people
D．encourages Joan to be brave enough
课时作业答案
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．A 句意为“据报道，一名男子昨天当街抢劫了一位老太太”。rip off是固定短语，意为“抢劫”。如果选择B项，应去掉off。
2．D 本句中 Without the mobile phone and Internet 相当于 If there were not the mobile phone and Internet，表示假设，对现在的虚拟。
3．D 此题考查时态。根据“at this moment”的提示，第一空用现在进行时，排除A、C两项。第二空描写书的内容，用一般现在时态，排除B项。句意为：我目前正在读一本关于时尚的书；书中说欧洲人在19世纪早期就开始戴高顶礼帽了。
4．A 本题考查倒装结构。连词 and 连接一个并列句。在第二句中，因为副词 then 放在句首，所以引起全部倒装，因此A项正确。
5．A 本题考查连词。根据句意“如果你来，你必须准备好不停地活动，因为天太冷了，不能长时间站着看”可知此处需要一个表示原因的连词。
6．D further education 意为“进修”，further 为抽象含义，the latest development 意为“最新的发展”。
7．D that 引导同位语从句说明 view 的内容。that 从句中，what the book said 为从句中的主语。
8．C 此处指高出65米，所以用 sixty－five metres。B项 sixty－five－metre 常作定语。A、D两项形式上是不对的。
9．C 考查 it 作形式宾语。it 在此句中作形式宾语，指代后面的动词不定式。
10．C 考查固定短语。might/may与as well连用可译为：还是……为好；不妨。
11．B 句意为“我想用我搜集的邮票换你的模型船”。trade A for B意为“用……交换……”。
12．B 句中缺少一个形容词修饰 countryside，意为“周围的农村”。A项意为“被包围的”，C项意为“环境”。
13．B 考查词义辨析。explore 意为“勘探；探索”；exploit 意为“开采；开发；利用”；explode 意为“爆炸”；expose 意为“暴露”。句意为：许多自然资源要被开采、利用。
14．C 第一个空意为“牌子上写着”，可用 says 或reads，因为是从句的谓语动词，不可用 reading 或 saying。第二个空是 forbid parking 的变化形式，因为两者之间是动宾关系，所以应是 Parking forbidden！＝No parking！禁止停车！
15．C 前半部分是独立主格结构，相当于 Because the temperature fell so rapidly，又因 fall 与 temperature 之间是逻辑上的主动关系，所以选C。
Ⅱ.句子翻译
16．Tourists complained of being ripped off by local cab drivers.
17．She was about to leave when we arrived.
18．If only they would tell me what they’ve decided.
19．He lives at the edge of the forest.
20．根据要求他们应提前完成工作。
Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 我们总是想要我们没有的东西。年轻时，我们想长大。然而，当我们老了，我们又想回到年轻时代，因为年轻时我们没有必要担忧复杂的恋爱关系、工作压力和金钱问题。
21．C 句意为：小的时候我们想在外面玩很长时间，回家晚些，想有浪漫的关系，想独立。
22．A 上一句叙述小的时候想长大，本句通过“however”转折，转而叙述成年后又想回到小的时候，故选A。
23．D 成年后我们又想回到小的时候，并且怀念那些时光，故选D。
24．B 长大后怀念那些不用担忧复杂的恋爱关系、工作压力和钱的问题的时光，故选B。
25．C 年轻人相信成年时代意味着远离父母和学校作业的自由，故选C。
26．A 当长大后，他们感到儿童时期意味着远离工作压力和家庭责任的自由，故选A。
27．B 从下一句使用的谚语可以看出是在表达此时的心情，故选B。
28．A 联系上文的叙述，小的时候想长大，长大后却怀念小的时候，用谚语“这山望着那山高”来表达此时的心情。
29．B 本文总是在互相对比，下文使用“as young adults”，所以此处应该是as teenagers，故选B。
30．A 年轻时，我们想成为成年人，但是成年后，我们又希望年轻，故选A。
31．B 想有自己的钱花，故选B。
32．C 从“突然”这个词，可以看出长大成人后的感受，爱能够导致心的破碎，故选C。
33．D 成年后发现，玩得太晚是很难为第二天的工作做好准备的，故选D。
34．D 从上文的对比中发现，成年后生活复杂，所以本句应该是“成年后发现生活并不像想像中的那么简单”，故选D。
35．A 成年后发觉生活并不容易，突然感到生活是可怕的，故选A。
36．C 从下文“它给我们时间玩也要求我们工作”，可以推测出“生活是公平的”，故选C。
37．C 联系前后两句，生活是公平的，它会给予我们玩的时间，也要求我们工作，play和work相对应，故选C。
38．B 我们长大的时刻终将会来临，而且我们总会回头，希望我们能年轻更长的时间，故选B。
39．D 想要我们没有的东西很正常，但是事实是感激我们所拥有的是会幸福的，故选D。
40．B 当生活变得更复杂时，我们就不会后悔……，故选B。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
41．A 考查推理判断。根据第二句可知她一直想摆脱自认为不幸的家庭，而下一句提到她终于获得了梦寐以求的独立，由此可推断A项正确。后三项在文中没有信息支持。
42．B 考查推理判断。根据第二段可知朋友频繁光顾令她无法忍受。根据末段最后一句可排除A项；后两项在文中没有提及。
43．C 考查细节理解。根据第二封信中的“...you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with...”可知他认为Joan不能这么做的原因是怕勾起以前的痛苦回忆。
44．B 考查猜测词义。结合第一封信的第一段可知作者和家庭之间存在矛盾，所以才尽力逃避。由此可推测伴随作者成长的是“激烈的冲突”。
45．C 考查推理判断。根据第二封信中第二段的后半部分以及最后一段可推测C项正确。他并没有鼓励她去和朋友针锋相对，因此D项不太恰当。
