As I drove my blue Buick into the garage. I saw that a yellow Oldsmobile was 21 too close to my space. I had to drive back and forth to get my car into the 22 space.

Still, each time she got home first, she parked too close to my 30 . Then one day, I thought, “What can I do?” I soon found 31 . The next day the woman 32 a note on her windshield(擋風玻璃):
Dear Yellow Oldsmobile,
I’m sorry mistress(女主人) shouted at yours the other day. She’s been sorry about it. I know it because she doesn’t sing anymore while 33 . It wasn’t like her to scream 34 . Fact is, she’d just got bad news and was taking it out on you two. I 35 you and your mistress will 36 her.
Your neighbor,
Blue Buick
When I went to the 37 the next morning, the Oldsmobile was gone, but there was a note on my windshield:
Dear Blue Buick,
My mistress is sorry, too. She parked so 38 because she just learned to drive. We will park much farther over after this. I’m glad we can be 39 now.
Your neighbor,
Yellow Oldsmobile
After that, whenever Blue Buick 40 Yellow Oldsmobile on the road, their drivers waved cheerfully and smiled.

21—25 BCDBA 26—30 CDABD 31—35 CDBCA 37—40 CDABB
21.解析：park停放。因為是在車庫里，所以汽車是停放在作者汽車的附近。
22.解析：narrow狹窄的。根據上文中“too close to my space”可判斷出空間比較狹窄。complete完全的；close靠近的；fixed固定的。
23.解析：hardly幾乎（沒有）。由于空間狹窄，幾乎沒有空間打開車門。seldom很少，指做某事的頻度。
24.解析：根據下文“the yellow Oldsmobile entered its space”可判斷出作者先回到車庫。hurriedly匆忙地，timely 及時地。
25.解析：as usual像平常一樣。從上文可知Oldsmobile緊挨著作者的汽車，像平常一樣，現(xiàn)在還是緊挨著這輛汽車。as planned正如計劃的那樣。
26.解析：run out耗盡。由于地方狹窄，作者車幾乎打不開車門，使作者失去了耐心。run into撞上；run about亂跑；run off逃跑。
27.解析：leave留下。作者告訴對方沒有給她留出足夠的空間。offer提供，指主動把某物給某人。
28.解析：mine指作者的汽車門。根據她們停車的距離可判斷出對方的車門在打開時撞到了作者的車門。
29.解析：with this隨著這句話語。她一邊說，一邊走出了車庫。
30.解析：根據上文可知，她又把車停在了作者車的旁邊。
31.解析：根據上文 “What can I do?”可判斷出作者找到了一個答案，即解決問題的辦法。
32.解析：discover發(fā)現(xiàn)。從上文可以看出，作者想出了一個解決問題的辦法——給Oldsmobile的車主寫一張紙條。
33.解析：這張紙條是以汽車的口吻寫的，所以可判斷出汽車的主人在開車時不再唱歌。
34.解析：like that 像……一樣。她過去不像那天那樣大聲喊叫。
35.解析：hope希望。根據上下文可判斷出作者希望能把事情處理好。
36.解析：forgive原諒。希望對方原諒自己。comfort安慰。
37.解析：根據下文“The Oldsmobile was gone，but there was a note on my windshield”可判斷出作者第二天去了車庫。
38.解析：crazily的意思是“搖搖晃晃地”。根據下文“she just learned to drive”可判斷出由于她剛剛開始學開車，技術不熟練，無法掌握好停車的距離。
39.解析：由于作者表示了歉意，對方愿意與她成為朋友。
40.解析：pass經過。當兩輛汽車相遇時，她們都相互高興地招手。

The worker I hired to repair my house had just finished a difficult first day on the job. A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder (????) fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn' t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didn't say a word.
I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.
On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.
The following day, I asked him about the tree.
"That's my trouble tree," he answered. "Work troubles aren't welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. "

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks
and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
1. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers______.
|
A．made friends with local residents |
|
B．complained about the poor living conditions |
|
C．enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most |
|
D．recorded their experiences in different ways |
2. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
|
A．He always missed out on the best thing. |
|
B．He had already taken beautiful pictures. |
|
C．A sound sleep was more important. |
|
D．The next trip would be better. |
3. What is the passage mainly about?
|
A．How to view wildlife in Africa. |
|
B．Running into wildlife in Africa. |
|
C．Tourist attractions in southern Africa. |
|
D．Possible dangers of travelling in the desert. |

Motherhood is a career to respect
A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究員) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (聲明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激勵) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
1. How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupation?
A. Cold-hearted. B. Open-minded.
C. Puzzled. D. Interested.
2. How many children does the writer have?
A. 3 B. 4 C. 7 D. 13
3.Why did the woman clerk show more respect to the writer?
A. Because she thought the writer did admirable work.
B. Because the writer cared little about rewards.
C. Because the writer did something that she had little knowledge of.
D. Because she admired the writer's research work.
4. What is the point of the article?
A. To show that how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B. To show that the writer had a grander job than Emily.
C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career.
D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
