Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as
. What would she do with me? She was almost mad after the
37
of her husband.
A few minutes later, I heard the truck
38
its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any
39
. Finally she put me down in a
40
place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.
I
41
out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.
It turned out that my owner meant to
42
me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther away. So I cast my head
43
the direction of the truck. The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered liver cancer, looked at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself
44
my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all
45
.
I ran as fast as I could. And the
46
I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a (an)
47
lady. She seemed even somewhat
48
at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to
49
the pains of losing him. She
50
his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only
51
thing to remind her of him.
52
later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this...
The truck finally stopped when I was almost
53
. She ran up to me and hugged me
54
. I heard her
55 : “I know you are a present he left to me.”

A
D
There is no denying that for more than a generation college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.
Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy(玫瑰般的) glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent,ambitious, happy,liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to come up.
55. According to the first paragraph, ___________________.
A. people now no longer challenge college education.
B. people still have a low opinion of college education.
C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college.
D. people have great expectations for college education.
56. More young people drop out of college because _________.
A. they are no longer motivated in their studies.
B. they can start selling shoes and driving taxis.
C. they compete for admission to graduate schools.
D. college administrators encourage them to do so.
57. Who does the author think is to blame for campus unhappiness?
A. young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.
B. our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.
C. our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.
D. young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.

One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used.
This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally Insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

________.
A. came out before Minor died

C. He was busy writing a book.
D. He disliked traveling.

【答案】【知识点】
【文章综述】大学一直是高中毕业生的首选，因为人们对于大学教育期待很多，但是大学教育真的能如人所愿吗？现在很多大学生因为没有学习的动力而选择退学，作者认为这不仅是学生的责任，社会也要负责。
【答案解析】
55. D。解析：细节题 根据第一段内容“传统观点与统计资料都认为中学毕业生都该去上大学，因为大学可以帮助他们赚到更多的钱，成为“更好”的人，并且成为比那些没上大学的人更有责任感的公民。
56. A。解析：细节题 根据第二段最后一句Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.
57. D。解析：判断推理题 根据第三段第二句和第三句“But that’s a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. 但是，总得来说，这只是对学生的一种谴责，而无法解释所有的校园不幸。其他人则会怪罪于现状，当然这也并不全错。
58. C。解析：细节题 根据最后一段第二句We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy(玫瑰般的) glow of our own remembered college experiences. 也许我们一直都颠倒地看待了调查与统计的数据，这也似乎都是源于我们自己记忆中的美好的绚丽多彩的大学生活
也许恰恰应该倒过来说
60. C。解析：主旨大意题 通读全文和第二段的句子：But college can never work its magic for everyone. 大学并不是在每个人身上都能实现它的魔力。【要点综述】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了第一本牛津字典的编写过程，以及Minor对字典的编写工作所作出的巨大贡献。
61. D 细节理解题。从最后一段的“Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.”看出A选项是不正确的；从第二段的“Murray had to find volunteers from Britain , the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.”看出牛津字典是集体智慧的结晶；由第一段最后一句中“It would include every English word possible”可知，C项不正确。故选D。
62. C 细节理解题。从第三段的“Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray”看出，Minor提供了大量词汇和引文。故选C。
63. A 细节理解题。从第四段的“Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally Insane.”看出，是由于Minor患精神病被关进医院里，所以没有办法去牛津。故选A。
64. B 细节理解题。从第二段Minor自愿加入编字典这个活动可知，他对此很感兴趣，与Murray有着共同的兴趣，再从文章倒数第三段的“Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.”可找到答案。故选B。
65. D 推理判断题。根据文章中Minor在患精神病住院期间还坚持字典的编写工作看出他的不寻常；从文章倒数第三段的“Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.”看出他的学者风范。故选D。
66. C 主旨大意题。文章一开始主要介绍由来自英国、美国和英国殖民地的志愿者参加牛津字典的编写工作，后半部分主要写编者Minor对字典的编写工作所作出的巨大贡献。故选C。
