   Sometimes people call each other "scared-cat", but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream.
Although the cat doesn't    1    this, its body is getting ready for action.
   If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will    2    itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.   3   , when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many    4    changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves    5    run.
   Human beings,    6   , have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them    7  , we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then    8    later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always    9    to express your feelings freely.
   Does this mean that it's smarter always to    10    our feelings? No! If you    11    feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays    12   . Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually be    13    for your health.
   Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just    14   . It's like you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but    15    you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, you'd    16     little fruit flies hovering (盘旋) all over them. They'd be rotten.
   You can try to treat emotions    17    they were bananas in the cupboard. You can   18   they don't exist, but they'll still be   19   . And at last you'll have to    20    them, just like those bananas.

1. 此处指尽管猫没有意识到这一点，但是它的身体会发生一系列的变化，准备好了要采取行动。
2. 根据下文的"We, too, get ready to defend ourselves..."可知当猫受到惊吓的时候，它会自卫或跑开。
3. 根据下文"when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many..."可知，和猫一样，人也有类似的变化。
4. 根据上文"When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. "和下文"Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense."可知，当猫受到惊吓的时候，身体会发生一系列的变化。同样，人也是这样的。
5. 根据上文"...or it will run away as fast as it can."可知，当人受到惊吓的时候也会准备自卫或跑开。
6. 根据上下文"... have a problem that animals never face."可知，人也有动物不会遇到的问题。这与上文提到的人和猫的相似点形成对比和转折关系。
7. take off的意思是“脱衣服，起飞”；take on的意思是“呈现”；take up的意思是“从事，占据”；take over的意思是“接管”。根据下文"... we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later?"可知，如果我们屈服于自己的感受，让感受支配自己，我们就会陷入困境。
8. 此处wish用了虚拟语气，表示与过去的事实相反，从句用过去完成时。此句意思是：“多希望这些话没有说出口啊！”
9. 根据上文"Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then..."可知，人时常会后悔做过的事，这说明自由地表达自己的感受并不是很明智的。
10. 根据下文"... feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside,..."可知，此处指把内心的感受埋在心底是不是更英明的选择呢。
11. 根据下文"Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just..."可知是将感受保留在心底。此处keep的意思是“保持，保留，使……怎么样”，故选择此项。
12. 根据上文"Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense."可知，将自己的负面情绪埋藏在心底，身体会变得紧张而生病。
13. 根据上文"Physical illnesses can develop."可知，身体会得病的，故隐藏负面情绪对身体是有害的。
14. 此处指埋藏在自己心底的感受是不会消失的。
15. 根据下文"They'd be rotten."可知，你把香蕉放在橱柜里，不久你就会闻到气味，因为它们坏掉了。
16. 根据上文"You might not be able to see them..."可知，如果打开橱柜，你就会看到小果蝇盘旋在上面。
17. 根据上文"It's like you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard."可知，对待感受就像对待香蕉一样，由后面的虚拟语气可知用as if。
18. 此处指你可以假装它们不存在，但其实它们是存在的。

20. 根据上文"...little fruit flies hovering all over them."可知，emotions，有末端句首的treat emotions可知应是处理情绪，treat与deal with意思相同。

2、
    In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   1   adifferent life. It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to
  2   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   3   time I had let such moments pass.
    When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked   4   the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   5   played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him   6   and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words   7   me.
    Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those   8   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   9  ? I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what they have   10   to me. Or what he might   11   to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
    What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   12   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always
  13   never hearing him put his   14   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   15   to tell a son something from the heart?
    My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said. “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   16  , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was   17   of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed
  18   mine. What I had said to Daniel was   19  . it was nothing. And yet, it was   20  .

1.  考查动词辨析。experience a different life意思是“体验一种不同的生活”。因为文章没有说儿子即将开始的生活有多么的好，所以不能用enjoy。句意：几个小时后，他将要飞往法国，并在那个国度体验新的生活。
2.  考查动词辨析。leave him some words意思是“给他留几句话”。注意不要受母语的干扰而误选give。句意为：我想送给他几句话，几句能让他受用终身的话。
3.  语境化选词。这里要表达的意思是：这已经不是我第一次让这样的时刻白白地过去了。
4.  考查名词辨析。由常识可知，上公共汽车要从车门口的台阶走上去，所以要用walk up。句意为：说着，他伤了校车，消失在我的视野里。车开走了，我却什么也没说。
5.  考查名词辨析。这里指的是我送别儿子的情景，所以要用scene。sign“符号”，scenery“风景”，sight“景色”。
6.  语境化选词。and表示并列，而这几个词中只有courage和confidence属于同一范畴。句意为：我很想说一些鼓励的话语，在他的新生活伊始给他勇气与信心。
7.  考查习惯用语。words failed me为固定用法，意思为“我说不出话来”。句意为：但是，我再一次语塞。
8.  语境化选词。lost opportunities“失去的机会”。作者想起了自己在应该对儿子说些话的关键场合没有把握机会，而让机会白白地失去。句意为：此时此刻，站在丹尼尔面前，我想起了那些失去的机会。
9.  语境化选词。机会失去了，也就是说让哪些宝贵的时刻过去了。last持续；fly飞；remain保留。句意为：究竟多少次，我让这些珍贵的时刻白白溜走？
10.考查动词辨析。mean意味着。我找不到一个平静的时刻告诉他这些机会对于我来说意味着什么，或者是在今后的几年里他期待面对什么。
11.考查动词辨析。expect“期待”。
12.语境化选词。很显然上下文之间是转折关系。所以要用But。句意为：即使意为父亲一辈子都不曾亲口告诉儿子自己对他的看法，那又如何？然而，当我面对丹尼尔的时候，我知道这非常重要。
13.考查动词辨析。这里作者由自己和儿子想到了自己和父亲。句意为：我很遗憾从没有听到父亲表达出自己的感情。regret“遗憾”。
14.语境化选词。由语境可知，在这些特殊的场合，父亲想表达出的是自己内心的感情：对孩子的关爱。
15.语境化选词。作者很多次想表达出自己的感情，但都没能做到，由此可以看出，要选择hard，意为“困难的”。important重要的；essential必需的；complex复杂的。
16.语境化选词。由后面的“and there were just Daniel and me”可知，作者感觉到整个世界似乎都消失了。句意为：那一刻，世界消失了，只剩下我和丹尼尔。change改变；progress进步；advance使前进，提前。
17.语境化选词。be aware of意思是“察觉到，意识到，知道”。句意为：当他的脸想我贴过来时，我感觉到了他下巴上的胡子茬。sensitive敏感的；convinced信服的；tired累的。
18.考查介词辨析。against“靠在……上”。注意这里不是把他的脸放在我的脸上，所以不能选on。
19.语境化选词。由前面的描述及下文的“It was nothing”可知“我”当时语无伦次，所以选clumsy（笨拙的，不得体的）。gentle温和的；absurd荒唐的；moving感人的。
20.语境化选词。和前面的nothing相对，所以要选择everything。句意为：我对丹尼尔说的那些话空洞无物。然而，它却道出了一切。

    It was the graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life. " At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."
    As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn't the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.
    A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
    Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.

1. Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author __________.
A. quite agreed with his colleague
B. thought it very funny
C. was very puzzled
D. was very sad
2. The computer science student called up the author because he __________.
A. wanted to inform the author of his present job
B. tried to persuade the author to work with him
C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D. thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher
3. The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to __________.
A. university colleagues
B. life memories
C. graduates' clothes
D. decorations in the hall
4. The author wrote this passage to __________.
A. express his devotion to being a teacher
B. compare two different graduation ceremonies
C. talk about the meaning of graduation
D. give advice on how to be a good teacher
5. The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that __________.
A. he was only a young professor
B. he didn't do well in his work
C. he taught his students more about life than math
D. salaries for different careers are different

1. C
2. B
3. C
4. A
5. D

1. 推理判断题。根据第二段的首句可知本题选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段的倒数第二句可知本题选B。
3. 词义猜测题。由本句中的graduation day可知本题选C。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段大意可推断出本文作者的写作目的是说明自己作为一名教师为教育所作的贡献，选A。
5. 推理判断题。根据常识可知不同的职业待遇不同，由此可知本题选D。

    If you ask me for my biggest impression of what America's like over the last three years, I'd say it is how rich and different the student life is. For example, at Princeton, we have more than 100 student organizations planning all kinds of campus activities—from sports, band dancing to juggling and acting to translation, design, publishing, volunteering and camping. You name it.
    During my freshman (大一学生) year, I tried a lot of activities, from dancing to design to newspapers. Then I found my passion (爱好) in the environment and volunteer ism. I joined Greening Princeton and Student Volunteer Council. A year later, I'd become the publicity chair and project coordinator (协调员) of these two clubs.
    Student activities give us a chance to do things we care about and are good at. If we have a good idea, we can put it forward at a meeting, find interested people to form a team, and then apply for funding from the school. We have full control of the project and the ability to make our ideas happen. For example, I came up with the idea of Daylight Dining and was supported by my club Greening Princeton. I wrote a proposal, presented it in front of the college master, and communicated with the head of Dining Services. After a few follow-ups, this project was carried out.
    One other benefit of extracurricular (课外的) activities is th
