(2014·合肥第一次质检)
Steve knew he’d been adopted as a baby,and when he turned 18,in 2003,he decided he’d try to track down his birth mother.The agency from which he’d been adopted gave him his mother’s name,Tallady.But online searches didn’t turn up any results about it,and Steve had to let it go.
In 2007,though,he searched for the name again online.This time,the search results included a home address near the Lowe’s store where Steve,then 22,worked as a deliveryman.When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss,his boss said,“You mean Tallady,who works here?”
Steve and Tallady,a cashier,had said hello to each other a few times at the store,but they’d never really talked.He hadn’t even known her name.Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name.For a few months,Steve avoided Tallady.“I wasn’t sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter.Finally,the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she’d been waving at was his son,she sobbed.She’d always hoped to meet her birth son one day.Later that day,mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar.She’d given him up for adoption in 1985,when she was 23.“I wasn’t ready to be a mother,” she told him.Married with two other children,Tallady says,“I have a complete family now.”
1.Steve gave up the online search for his birth mother in 2003 because 　　　. 
A.the agency didn’t give him any help
B.there was no information about his mother
C.his mother didn’t respond to him online
D.he missed the information about his mother
答案:B
解析:细节推理题。根据第一段说明可知,Steve想通过在线搜索来找到生母的信息,但网上没有出现结果,所以他只能放弃。故选B项。
2.What did Steve find about his mother online in 2007?
A.Her home address.
B.Her full name.
C.Her boss’s name.
D.Her new job.
答案:A
解析:细节判断题。根据第二段第二句可知,2007年他搜索到了一个家庭住址。故选A项。

A.Because she didn’t want to talk to him.
B.Because he was not fully prepared for the reunion.
C.Because she was difficult to approach.
D.Because he didn’t think she was his mother.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容,尤其是他告诉记者的那句话,不难看出对于Steve要和他妈妈团聚还没有作好充分的心理准备。由此推断选项B为正确答案。
4.The best title for the passage is 　　　. 
A.The love of mother
B.An unexpected meeting
C.The power of the Internet
D.An unusual reunion
答案:D
解析:文章标题题。文章介绍了Steve和其生母团聚的过程。这是孩子在被收养二十多年后的团聚,故不同寻常。D选项作为标题较为切题,为正确答案。

(2014·郑州第一次质量预测)
Americans use many expressions with the word“dog”.People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks,let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However,dogs without owners lead a different kind of life.The expression“to lead a dog’s life”describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same things,like good jobs.They say that to be successful,they have to work like a dog.This means they have to work very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Some people say,“Every dog has its day.”This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful,people often have to learn new skills.Yet,some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that old people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don’t want.But mean dogs are often used to guard the property,for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather,but we do not want it to rain too hard.We don’t want it to rain cats and dogs.
【语篇导读】英语中有很多与 “狗” 相关的俗语,本文主要对此作了介绍。
