題目列表(包括答案和解析)
On a BA flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged South African lady found herself sitting next 
to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating.
“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” Asked the attendant.
“Can’t you see?” She said, “You’ve sat me next to a black. I can’t possibly sit next to this dirty disgusting human. Find me another seat!”
“Please calm down, Madam,” the attendant replied, “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do—I’ll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first
class.”
A few minutes later, the attendant returned with the good news, which she delivered to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin.
“Madam, unfortunately, as I guessed, economy is full. I’ve spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class.”
Before the lady had a chance to answer, the attendant continued.
“It’s most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, according to this special situation, the captain felt that it was unbelievable that someone should be forced to sit next to such an
obnoxious(討厭的) person.”
Having said that, the attendant turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you.”
At that moment, the surrounding passengers stood and gave a long-lasting ovation (歡呼) while the black man walked up to the front of the plane…

When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs―two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the “head” of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at the table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and trees. It was the holy (神圣的) and protected place that was his, and ours through him.
After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When they came to visit me at their old house. Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that “head” place in my Dad’s presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child’s first birthday.
Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, “Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side.” He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, “My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit.” But I didn’t.
When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don’t know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.
It wasn’t easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that “honoring one’s father” is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.
48. Where did the writer’s mother sit when one of the children was away?
A. She didn’t change her chair. B. She moved her own chair next Dad’s.
C. She moved to an empty chair on the side. D. She sat opposite to Dad.
49. How did the writer feel when he told his father to sit on the side?
A. He didn’t feel bad because his father was going to sit there anyway.
B. He felt happy at having carded out the difficult task.
C. He was thoroughly satisfied with the new seating arrangement.
D. He regretted what he had done and wanted to blame his wife.
50. What happened during the meal after the family had all taken their new seats?
A. The writer’s children removed their grandfather from his usual place.
B. The writer’s father didn’t appear to mind where he sat.
C. The writer’s father shared his favorite dishes with the grandchildren.
D. They became tense and nervous about their future as a family.
51. What did the writer learn about “honoring one’s father”?
A. Fathers always long to tell stories about their early years.
B. Providing the fight chair is the only way to honor one’s father.
C. Respect for one’s father doesn’t depend only on where he sits.
D. The family should dine together at the same table as often as possible.

8.C。考查交際用語。根據上下文語境，兩個人對輕音樂的觀點不一致，一個說令人輕松，另一個說令人入睡。Not me,用來表示“對我來說不是這樣”，相當于It is not true for me.而Bless me則表示吃驚即“我的天啦”；Me, too則表示“對我也是這樣”，Let me see讓我想一想，讓我考慮一下。

11. D。考查名詞性從句。本句句意：總經理決定將他認為精力充沛、機敏能干且具有許多優良品質的人放入公司領導層的位置。首先要清楚he thinks是插入語，動詞put后缺賓語，in the position of the leadership of the company.為賓語補足語。A項those who與后面的is主謂不一致；B項缺少關系代詞who，都應排除；C項whoever只可用作句子的賓語，不符句子結構；只有D項whoever可引導名詞性從句，作從句的主語，與is energetic, clever, and has good qualities構成賓語從句，相當于anyone who引導的定語從句。

15.C。考查時態語態題。本句句意：一部反映二戰時期抗日題材的電視連續劇正在平壤播放，吸引了很多電視觀眾。“電視劇播放”顯然是被動語態，而drawing great attention from viewers.說明，是“正在播放”的劇目吸引了觀眾。故選C。
16. B。考查形容詞比較級的用法。本句句意：――你覺得這位小盲人歌手如何？――我從未見過有這么好樂感的小歌手。本題用“否定詞+比較級”結構表示“沒有比……更……的”，比較結構后有名詞時，用不定冠詞修飾，表示沒有具體限定的“更……的”，是一種含蓄表達法。

19.B。考查名詞辨析。keep pace with與...齊步前進,符合句子意思。而keep terms with sb. 同某人交往,keep touch with與……聯系。無keep progress with搭配。

21.D。考查名詞。我要去上班了。根據下文Debbie always worked at night.分析，此處是表明I’m leaving for work.而不可能是去“玩”（play）、“學習”（study）和“比賽”（game）。
22.A。考查動名詞。你一會兒有空去我家“看看”（check on）我母親好嗎？check on有“查看”之意，符合語境。take on呈現, 具有，put on穿上,裝出，keep on繼續, 穿著。
