together.you know, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized (对立) by it. split by: age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing and boys.the father-daughter duel of 54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old dodge and i decided i would drive the 54 chevy whether you liked it or not. the police officer who escorted (护送) me home after you reported the chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16-year-old. you were so decent (恰当的) about it, dad, and i think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.our relationship improved greatly when i had babies. i didnt know what to expect of you and mom as grandparents but i didnt have to wait long to find out. those babies adored you then just as they adore you now.i suppose i saw our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. but the oddest thing happened last week. i was at a stop sign and i watched as you turned the corner in your car. it didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car. it was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. perhaps i saw your age for the first time that day.fifty years ago this spring, we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in charles city, iowa.this week, well plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but i hope not. i dont understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. i dont even like kohlrabi. but i like planting it with you.honoring a father on father s day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school graduation and weddings. its more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn, who know everything and wont listen to anyone. its about loving someone more than words can say, and wishing that it never had to end.i love you, dad.21. what can we learn from the third paragraph?a. the authors father scolded her seriously that evening.b. the police officer helped settle the fight between the author and her father.c. the authors father called the police to find his missing daughter.d. their relationship was worsened when she drove the chevy away.22. what does the author mean by saying “a slap in the face” in the fifth paragraph?a. she regretted the fights she had with her father.b. she suddenly realized that her father was so old and could be gone one day.c. she was ashamed of herself that she hadnt taken good care of her father.d. she suddenly realized that she had caused a lot of trouble for her father.23. which of the following words can describe the authors father?a. unreasonable b. caring c. tolerant d. stubborna. bc b. bd c. acd d. bcd(b) “hi! how are you?” the woman smiled as she took the seat beside me. she had to lower herself slowly, squeezing her ample bottom into the space. positioning herself comfortably, she put her enormous arm on the armrest.i didnt reply and leaned towards the window.she repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.“hi,” i replied.“my name is laura. im from britain. how about you?” a palm waved in front of my face.“malaysia,” i shook the hand reluctantly.laura started a conversation with me, taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. her voice was warm and caring. she was thoughtful. when we were served drinks and meals she made sure that i had room to move in my seat. “i dont want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity.to my surprise, her face that i disliked hours before, slowly opened into an extraordinary smile lively and calm at the same time. i couldnt help but let down my guard.laura was an interesting conversationalist. she was well read in many subjects from philosophy to science. she turned a seemingly unimportant subject into something to explore and understand. her comments were humorous and inspirational. when our topic turned to cultures, i was pleasantly surprised by her intelligent comments and well-thought-out analysis.i asked laura, “have you ever thought about losing some weight? you arent worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?”“not at all. you only get the diseases if youre worried about your weight all the time. you see advertisements from slimming centers that say, liberate yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself. its rubbish! youre liberated only if youre comfortable with who you are, and what you look like! i eat healthily and walk regularly; im this size because i am born to be big!”she sipped her wine. “besides, god gives me so much happiness that i need a bigger body to hold all of it! why would i lose weight to lose my happiness?”when we waved goodbye to each other at hong kongs kai tak airport, i thought laura was the most beautiful woman i had ever met in my life.24. why was the author unfriendly toward laura in the beginning?a. the author was not in a good mood that day.b. the author had hoped to enjoy the trip alone.c. the author was

yuan for my colorful shirt from a street trader in beijing.of course my shirt was a knockoff, a cheap copy of the brand. after a few washes little balls formed on the surface of the thin material.do i care? not at all. you get what you pay for.i have to admit i hate shopping. i dont care enough about spending money on clothes. i have other priorities.in you are what you wear, us writer jennifer baumgartner says peoples clothes tell a story about their personality.she goes on: “the clothes you choose to wear provide important information about you as a person, your approximate education level, your income, social status and even your level of self-esteem.”when i started work as an undercover (秘密工作的) crime reporter i had to shop for jeans and a hoodie (连帽衫) in order to fit in with a rough and ready (世故的) social group.i bought the hoodie in a charity shop. my daughters were shocked. they thought i looked bad, but i knew my disguise was perfect.elizabeth l. cline thinks she knows best when it comes to cheap clothes in her book overdressed: the shockingly high cost of cheap fashion. she expresses sadness that clothing has been turned into goods that could be thrown away after being used once or twice.she looks down her nose at cheap fashion and longs for the good old days when department stores sold quality clothes at expensive prices.i dont agree. at least people now can choose what to wear without breaking the bank.28. the underlined sentence in the article meant that _.a. i never spend money on clothesb. i dont mind spending money on clothesc. it is too much trouble

his planc. immediately won the admiration of his daughtersd. proved that clothes cant show a persons true personality30. the author mentions elizabeth l. clines book to _.a. show his disagreement with

might be the best title for the story?a. you get what you pay forb. you are what you wearc. high cost of cheap fashiond. the variety of clothes(d)how packed is your schedule? when somebody says “how are you?”, is “busy” your usual reply? not being able to slow down and relax worries a lot of people. but when we say “im busy”, is it sometimes to boast (吹嘘) rather than to complain?according to us writer tim kreider, people who moan (埋怨) about being busy are not always the ones who need to be busy.rather, they are filling their lives up voluntarily. in an article for the new york times entitled the busy trap, kreider says, “busy people” are “addicted to busyness and fear what they might have to face in its absence”.our lives cannot possibly be silly or meaningless if we are “in demand every hour of the day”.kreider says that for most of us, being busy is not necessary; its something weve chosen.he tells the story of a friend of his who was driven out of new york by high rent costs. she now lives in a small town in the south of france.she describes herself as happy and relaxed for the first time in years. she still gets her work done, but it doesnt take up her entire day.she has a big circle of friends who all go out to the cafe together every night.she used to describe her personality as “driven, anxious and sad”. these attributes (特点) turned out to be an “effect of her environment”.kreider says that most of us dont want to be busy, but if everyone else puts on an air of busyness, we feel we ought to do something or risk being considered lazy.being artificially busy stops us from taking a step back to learn about ourselves.kreider urges us to space out once in a while. doing nothing is not lazy, he says: “it is as indispensable (不可或缺的) to the brain as vitamin d is to the body.” “the space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole it is necessary to getting any work done.”history is full of stories of inspiration in idle moments, such as archimedes “eureka” in the bath and newtons apple.kreider wonders whether the “lazy” people in life “arent responsible for more of the worlds great ideas, inventions and masterpieces than the hardworking”.32. according to tim kreider, people who complain about their busy schedule _.a. are not busy at all b. are afraid of idle momentsc. want to show their importance to othersd. find their life stupid and meaningless33. kreider mentioned his female friend to show that _.a. personality decides the quality of our lifeb. how bad it is to work in new yorkc. busyness is sometimes a result of environmentd. theres no need to put on an air of busyness34. the underlined phrase “space out” in the text means _.a. enjoy being lazy b. give up ones effortsc. relax and take a rest d. change your environment35. archimedes “eureka” in the bath and newtons apple are mentioned in the text to _.a. give examples of great ideas and inventionsb. show the benefits that idleness can bringc. prove that great minds never stop thinkingd. emphasize the importance of inspirationkeys: 1-5 cadbd 6-10 abacd 11-15 abdcb 16-20 addcb1. c。由第二段“my sister was injured.”和第三段“the hospital my sister was in可知作者的姐姐出车祸了。2. a。这里对应下文的“amanda was one of the 4 drivers i knew. i felt shocked and terrified.”在作者的眼里，姐姐开车一向稳妥，所以当她获悉了姐姐出车祸时，身体的每个部位因为惊愕而僵住了。3. d。由上句作者的惊呆和下句她是最安全的司机之一，可知作者不相信她会发生车祸，因此用how。4. b。尽管她只有17岁，但她是我知道的最安全的司机之一。这正是作者不相信会发生车祸的原因。5. d。作者和弟弟就立刻奔向姐姐入住的医院。leave for 动身前往（某地）。6. a。当我们到达医院时，我姐姐的脸从眉毛往上都被盖住。7. b。几种仪器连接在她身上。attachto 与相连。8. a。look up 抬头向上看。姐姐是躺在病床上的，她当然是向上看我了。9. c。从她眼中，我预计会看到恐惧，但我看到的却是力量。10. d。当她对我说：“我爱你”的时候，我突然意识到，我对姐姐说我爱她的次数是多么的少。11. a。由下句“but she wasnt listening any more可知作者想回复姐姐的“我爱你”。12. b。前后是因果关系。我也想对她说我爱她，但她却不在听我说话了，因为医生正把她带往x光线室。13. d。看到姐姐受伤的情况，又听到“我爱你”，作者感触很大，直到姐姐转过墙角我看不到她时，我再也抑制不住自己的感情，大哭起来。14. c。姐姐被推走后，尽管大家都告诉我她会没事的，但我一直在担心。15. b。作者在手术室外面等候amanda时焦虑不安，所以可以判断，这里表示过去的分分秒秒都让她内心的疑虑不断增大，担心手术是否顺利。confidence 信心；sympathy 同情；curiosity 好奇心。16. a。这里大家等候医生手术的结论，所以a比较合适，words 话语；note 便条；evidence 证据；information 信息。17. d。当我知道自己不会失去姐姐的时候，我的心雀跃起来。虽然她需要做一些整容手术，但毕竟她还活着，这对我来说才是最重要的。18. d。一年之后，尽管我们两个经常吵架，但每次even though 尽管；now that 既然。19. c。每次我看到姐姐脸上的伤疤时，我都记得要告诉她我爱她。20. b。她脸上的伤疤成了对我的提醒，因为，曾经我差点没机会给她说我是多么地爱她。21. d。知道女儿没有听自己的话开走了chevy，父亲生气地打电话报警说车子被偷了，所以d正确，c不对。由“the police officer was too young to understand father-daughter politics”可知b不对。a文中没有提到。22. b。第五段里作者提到，一天在马路上第一眼看见父亲时竟没有认出来，因为他看上去如此年迈脆弱。尤其是第五段的最后一句“perhaps i saw your age for the first time that day”更是明显地跟b吻合。23. a。根据第四段和倒数第二段的“its more about unconditionally loving
