　　答案：

　　一位老人一生无亲生子女，却收养了四个孩子。在一个圣诞节，孩子们送她了一份特别的礼物，这份礼物使她流下了被接受为一位母亲的幸福的泪水。

　　1. C　根据第二段中的“The youngest of herchildren’ was my mother”以及第四段第一句中的“Grandma”可知，她们是去和作者的外婆一起过圣诞节。

　　2. B　根据下文可知，外婆收养了四个孩子，因此是她给了四个孩子一个“home”。 3. B　指外婆“看着”四个孩子长大成人。

　　4. C　外婆给了四个孩子一个家并看着他们长大成人，然而她自己没有要孩子。前后句表示转折，故选yet。

　　5. A　最大的孩子叫她“Aunt Rheuie”，接下来的三个孩子也这样叫她。next意为“紧接着来到的”。注意extra意为“额外的”；another three指不定数目中的另外三个，此处共四个，应使用the other three，此外，another前也不加the。

　　6. D　最小的孩子是作者的母亲，八个月大时被当做圣诞礼物送给了作者的外婆。

　　7. B　已经是50多岁的Rheuie，开始着手像母亲一样关爱最小的孩子。depend on意为“依靠”；set about意为“着手做”；give up意为“放弃”；break into意为“突然开始(笑、唱等)”。根据语境可知选B。

　　8. A　那个圣诞节我们进了她甜蜜的家，然后脱掉大衣。remove意为“脱去(衣服等)”，符合语境。

　　9. A　像往常一样，房间里有好的饭菜与火炉里烧着的木柴的味道。smell意为“气味”。

　　10. C　在圣诞节，应是交换礼物。下文的“the final gift”也是线索提示。

　　11. D　我没办法记住礼物中的任何一个，除了最后一件礼物。

　　12. B　situation意为“形势”；stage意为“舞台”，center stage在文中意为“关注的焦点”；condition意为“条件”；platform意为“讲台；月台”。句意：那天给的最后的礼物成了关注的焦点。

　　13. D　此处表示，我看到当她揭开盖子的时候她的手在颤抖，此处as意为“当……的时候”。

　　14. A　lie意为“平放”，此处指盒子里有一个银带子。

　　15. B　带子上有“Mom”的字样和代表着每个孩子生日的四个彩石。根据文章最后一段中的“...being accepted as a mother”可知，带子上的字应是Mom。

　　16. D　此处表示“她照顾了多年的孩子们”，care for意为“照顾”，符合语境。look for意为“寻找”；wait for意为“等待”；hunt for意为“寻找”。

　　17. A　freely意为“无阻碍地，畅通地”；heavily意为“沉重地”；directly“直接地”；slightly意为“稍微”。此处指泪水从眼睛里大量涌出。

　　18. B　那时我不理解，但年龄和经历已经帮助我理解了那泪水的含义。

　　19. D　Rheuie那天哭，不是因为悲伤，而是出自被接受为母亲的纯粹的“快乐”。

　　20. A　那一刻使得这么多年照顾别人的每一分钟都值得。worth意为“值得”。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　For most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce(商务) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. Many governments therefore want to apply strict regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self－regulation.

　　Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on－line customer in Tokyo, says, can hardly go to New York to get a refund for a clothes purchase.

　　One answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each other’s rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober countries to accept. There is ，however, another choice. Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves. They do, after all, have a self－interest in doing so.

　　In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments ，too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines on－line may prefer to buy from the united states because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA’s rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead.

　　Customers will still need to use their judgment. But precisely because the technology is new ，electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort. And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down. In this way，at least, the cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.

　　1．According to author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?

　　A. Self－regulation by the businesses.

　　B. Strict consumer protection laws.

　　C. Close international cooperation.

　　D. Government protection.

　　2．In the authors view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world ______.

　　A. international cooperation would be much more frequent

　　B. consumers could easily seek government protection

　　C. a good reputation is a great advantage in competition

　　D. it would be easy for consumers to complain

　　3．We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs in FDA in the United States is ______.

　　A. very quick

　　B. very cautious

　　C. very slow

　　D. rather careless

　　4．If a customer buys something that does not meet his expectation, it will be easier for him to ______.

　　A. return the goods he is not satisfied with

　　B. attain the refund from the seller

　　C. get his complaints heard by other consumers

　　D. complain about this to the government

　　答案：

　　1．A　态度意图题。第一段最后一句话指出“政客们把网络视为企业自律新时代的基础是更明智的做法。”从此可看出作者的观点，那就是企业自律是最好的政策。

　　2．C　事实细节题。倒数第二段第一句话指出“在电子商务中，诚实交易的名声是有用的竞争资本”，即好的名声在竞争中是一大优势。

　　3．B　推理判断题。倒数第二段最后一句话提出“人们可能更喜欢从美国订购药品，因为他们相信美国食品及药物管理局的严格审查”，由此可推断，FDA对新药品的许可非常谨慎。

　　4．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句话可知，“当某个公司令消费者失望时，新技术使他们能更容易地诉苦”。而第二段第二句话说，政府无法对只存于屏幕上的企业执行国家法律，可知向政府诉苦无用，因此只能让其他消费者听到自己的诉苦。

　　Ⅲ.书面表达

　　假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你和在上海上学的英国朋友Tom约好下周末去北京旅游，但你因故不能赴约。请根据以下要点用英语给他写一封电子邮件：

　　1．表示歉意；

　　2．解释原因；

　　3．另约时间。

　　注意：

　　1．词数120—150；

　　2．可适当增加细节。

　　范文：

　　Dear Tom，

　　Im sorry, for I won’t be able to pay a visit to Beijing next weekend with you. Because there are many friends of mine facing a coming English exam, which is without doubt important for them. They are looking forward to my giving a hand to them and they hope to get through the exam successfully. As a result, I will be busy helping them at that time. In addition, I will attend a party which aims to raise money for the people of Yushu, who suffered greatly from the big earthquake.

　　In a nutshell, I’m afraid I’ll have no time to accompany you. So I want to put off our time of the visit until the first weekend of next month. Is it OK?

　　Looking forward to your early reply.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua
