試題分析：本文講述了Ellen號船長根據(jù)一只小鳥的異常表現(xiàn)而保持航線，最后在漆黑夜里的海上，救了海里沉船事故中的辛存者的故事。
1.考查名詞。Land陸地；grass草；hope希望；wood木頭。Hold on to意思是“緊緊地抓住”。通讀全文可知現(xiàn)在這些人是在茫茫大海里，他們必須抱住能找到的任何一塊木頭，以幫助自己逃生。故選D。
2.考查名詞。Food食物；help幫助；rest休息；stop停止。根據(jù)句意：他們向“瑪麗號”船求救。聯(lián)系上下文可知the Marie是船的名字。故選B。
3.考查介詞。Off離開；out向外；beyond超過；from從...。根據(jù)句意：人們向“瑪麗號”求救，然而船上的人們根本聽不到他們的呼救聲。此處考查短語beyoud the reach of 意思是“在...的范圍之外”。故選C。
4.考查名詞。People人們；lights燈光；ships船；houses房子。根據(jù)下文another ship出現(xiàn)，根據(jù)常識可知漆黑的夜里能發(fā)現(xiàn)遠處的船，是靠燈光。故選B。
5.考查名詞。Sailors士兵；captains船長；rescuers救援者；swimmers游泳人。聯(lián)系上下文可知，這些人的身份我們并不知道，只知道他們在水里，因此D項最合適。故選D。
6.考查名詞。Name名字；owner擁有者；captain船長；finder發(fā)現(xiàn)者。the Ellen是船的名字，因此此處應用name。故選A。
7.考查詞組。ahead of time提前；at times有時；on time按時；in time及時。根據(jù)句意：及時趕到現(xiàn)場，挽救了他們生命的船的名字是Ellen。故選D。

10.考查指示代詞。Everything每件事；nothing沒有事；something一些事；anything任何事。根據(jù)空后的“had, indeed, _____ (attempted) to sail away from it”及下一段，我們可以知道，船長對此事一無所知。故選B。
11.考查動詞。Attempted試圖；managed管理；allowed允許；demanded需求。根據(jù)上下文可知因為他不知道這里發(fā)生了沉船事故，因此他曾“試圖”把船開走。故選A。
12.考查詞組。Just as正當?shù)臅r候；In case以防；Only because只因；Even though盡管。根據(jù)句意：正當我因大風被迫要改變航線時，一只小鳥一次或兩次的飛過船，然后飛到我面前。由此可知此處引導時間狀語，只有A合適。故選A。
13.考查詞組。paid no attention不重視；took good care珍重；took no notice不注意；kept close watch密切注視。根據(jù)句意：我根本就沒有注意到這一次直到完全相同的事情再次發(fā)生。 pay attention后搭配的介詞應該是to。故選C。
14.考查代詞。Which那一個；what什么；that那個；this這個。引導從句，D排除。代詞在句中作主語，B排除。此處是非限制性定語從句，故用which。故選A。
15.考查形容詞。Interesting有趣的；funny好笑的；friendly有好的；unusual不尋常的。聯(lián)系上下文“不尋常”更符合語境。故選D。
16.考查動名詞。Searching搜索；expecting期待；considering考慮到；studying研究。considering在此處相當于thinking。指船長認為鳥的舉動有些異常。故選C。

18.考查動詞。Forced被迫；decided決定；persuaded說服；forbidden禁止。聯(lián)系上下文可知船長在這里說“鳥的異常舉動勸服我改變了主意”。故選C。
19.考查連詞。When當...時候；until直到...時候才；then然后；while與此同時。when引導的句子的謂語部分可以是短暫性的也可以是持續(xù)性的動詞或結構。while 引導的句子的謂語部分必須是可以延續(xù)的動詞或結構。until肯定形式表示的意思是“做某事直至某時”，動詞必須是延續(xù)性的，否定形式表達的意思是“直至某時才做某事”，動詞為延續(xù)性或非延續(xù)性都可以根據(jù)句意：當我聽到奇怪的聲音時，我離得并不遠。故選A。
20.考查詞組。listen to聽；search for搜索；make sure確信；look out當心。因為是黑夜，在茫茫大海上，船長一時辨不清聲音來自何方，因此他首先確定聲音的位置。故選C。

My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity(機會)”
“ What is ?” I asked.
“ To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves now that we’re in the situation we are in.”
“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.
And that’s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life—from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “ I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

Lisa was running late. Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs，she started to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away，F(xiàn)rank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die，”she explained.
41. What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?
A. She had run a long way.
B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a 1ot of work.
D. She had donated blood the night before.
42. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A. Because they would miss their train.
B. Because he didn’t see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
43. How did Frank save Lisa?
A. By lifting her to the platform.
B. By helping her rise to her feet.
C. By pulling her along the ground.
D. By dragging her away from the edge.
44. When did Lisa become conscious again?
A. When the train was leaving.
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
45. The passage is intended to _____________
A. warn us of the danger in the subway
B. show US how to save people in the subway
C. tell US about a subway rescue
D. report a traffic accident

Art theft is an ancient and complicated crime. When you look at some of the most famous cases of art thefts in history, you see thoroughly planned operations that involve art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. Here you can read about some of the most famous cases of art theft in the history.
The First Theft:
The first documented case of art theft was in 1473, when two panels of altarpiece of the Last Judgment by the Dutch painter Hans Memling were stolen. While the triptych was being transported by ship from the Netherlands to Florence, the ship was attacked by pirates who took it to the Gdansk cathedral in Poland. Nowadays, the piece is shown at the National Museum in Gdansk where it was recently moved from the Basilica of the Assumption.
The Most Famous Theft:
The most famous story of art theft involves one of the most famous paintings in the world and one of the most famous artists in history as a suspect. In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen out of the Louver. Soon after, Pablo Picasso was arrested and questioned by the police, but was released quickly.
It took about two years until the mystery was solved by the Parisian police. It turned out that the 30×21 inch painting was taken by one of the museum employees by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who simply carried it hidden under his coat. Nevertheless, Peruggia did not work alone. The crime was carefully conducted by a notorious con man, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent by an art faker who intended to make copies and sell them as if they were the original painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was busy creating copies for the famous masterpiece, Mona Lisa was still hidden at Peruggias’ apartment. After two years in which Peruggia did not hear from Chaudron, he tried to make the best out of his stolen good. Eventually, Peruggia was caught by the police while trying to sell the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was returned to the Louver in 1913.
The Biggest Theft in the USA:
The biggest art theft in United States took place at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On the night of March 18, 1990, a group of thieves wearing police uniforms broke into the museum and took thirteen paintings whose collective value was estimated at around 300 million dollars. The thieves took two paintings and one print by Rembrandt, and works of Vermeer, Manet, Degas, Govaert Flinck, as well as a French and a Chinese artifact.
As of yet, none of the paintings have been found and the case is still unsolved. According to recent rumors, the FBI are investigating the possibility that the Boston Mob along with French art dealers are connected to the crime.
【小題1】 How long did it take to put back the stolen Mona Lisa in Louver ?___
| A．Thirty six months | B．Thirty months |
| C．Half a year | D．Around two years |
| A．Chaudron wanted to sell the stolen painting. |
| B．Peruggia thought he didn’t need to work for Chaudon any more and wanted to market the painting. |
| C．Valfierno was tired of waiting. |
| D．Peruggia wanted to study the painting carefully. |
| A．Mona Lisa case |
| B．Last Judgment case |
| C．Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum thirteen paintings case |
| D．none |
| A．China | B．France | C．Dutch | D．Vantican |
| A．Picasso was ever considered a art theft suspect. |
| B．Art thieves normally not work alone. |
| C．The first documented case of art theft was conducted by pirates. |
| D．The mastermind of Mona Lisa was an art faker who wanted to sell copies. |
