答案与解析　
1．speaking　This is sb. speaking.“我是……”，为固定句式。
2．he　Here he is.“他来了。”
3．when　依据句意“当他2岁时我就记得他”可知该空填when引导时间状语从句。
4．who　先行词是your sister，空格后面的从句中缺少宾语，故用关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句。
5．a　该空填不定冠词a，表泛指。
6．worst　依据空格前的the及语境可知该空填worst，表“最糟糕的”。
7．were　所填词在句中作谓语，又依据句中时间状语in 1974可知该空用一般过去时，填were。
8．terrified　be terrified of ...“可怕……”。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A

After spending a good Christmas holiday at my grandma's house, my wife Tere and I drove back home.
We were so tired when we arrived home, we left the car in the driveway and decided to unpack it in the morning.
At seven o'clock in the morning, we woke up refreshed. But when we opened the front door, there was no car in the driveway!
Tere and I looked at each other, looked back at the driveway, and looked at each other again. Then she asked this wonderful question: “Well, where did you park the car？”
Laughing, I answered: “Right in the driveway.”
We walked around the block and couldn't find the car. It had been stolen.
We called the police and filed a report that activated (激活) our high­tech tracking (追踪的) system.
As time went by, Tere became increasingly upset as she remembered more and more of what had been in the car — our wedding album, family photos from past generations and my wallet, just to name a few things. These were items of little importance to our survival, yet they seemed of major importance at that moment.
Frustrated, Tere asked me：“How can you remain cool when all of these things and our brand new car are missing？”
I said: “Honey, we can have a stolen car and be upset, or we can have a stolen car and be happy. Either way, we have a stolen car. I truly believe our attitudes and moods are choices, and right now I choose to be happy.”
Five days later our car was returned without any of our belongings, and with over $3,000 worth of damage to the car. After I picked up the car from the dealer, I ran into another car, which cost another $3,000 worth of damage.
As I was standing in the driveway looking at the car, kicking myself for hitting the other car, Tere arrived home. She put her arm around me and said：“Honey, we can have a wrecked (坏了的) car and be upset, or we can have a wrecked car and be happy. Either way, we have a wrecked car, so let's choose to be happy.”
I surrendered (放弃) with a hearty laugh and we went on to have a wonderful evening together.

B

A new report says the growing population around the world is harming the environment. More people are using more of the Earth's natural resources than ever before. Experts say poor people around the world will suffer most in the future unless environmental damage is stopped. They say more should be done to balance human and environmental needs.
The world's population is now more than 6,000 million. That number has increased by 100% since 1960. The population is expected to increase to more than 9,000 million by the year 2050. The report says about 2,000 million people lack food security. Water supplies and agricultural lands are heavily used. In 50 years, experts say more than 4,000 million people will be living in countries that can not meet people's daily needs.
The report says all of the expected growth in the world's population will take place in developing countries. The 49 least developed countries are expected to increase by almost 200% in 50 years.
Yet, the UN agency says people in the richest countries use much more of the world's resources than people in developing countries. It says a child born today in the United States, France or Japan will do more harm to the environment during his lifetime than as many as 50 children born in developing countries.
The UN Population Fund says international policies need to be put into effect to improve poor conditions, increase social development and ease pressure on the environment.
4．The population in the world is expected in 2050 to increase to ________more than that in 1960.
A．twice B. three times
C. four times D. six times
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。由其次段前三句可知： 9000÷(6000÷2)＝3。
5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The growth of population has little effect on developed countries.
B. Developing countries may suffer most from the growth of the world's population.
C. Developed countries bear the main responsibility for the growth of the world's population.
D. A child born in developed countries will be less harmful than one born in developing countries.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。依据第一段第三句可推出答案。
6．Which of the following shows the CORRECT clue of the passage?
A．Questions — Supporting Details — Measures.
B. Opinions — Analysis — Measures.
C. Problems — Methods — Conclusion.
D. Questions — Suggestions — Conclusions.
答案与解析　A　推理推断题。通读全文不难推断文章先谈到问题，然后进行论证，最终提到解决方法。
7．The purpose of the passage is mainly to ________.
A．tell something about the relationship between population and environment
B. warn people of taking steps to balance human and environmental needs
C. point out developed countries use much more of international recourses
D. show developing countries needn't control population any more
答案与解析　B　主旨大意题。依据文章内容可知作者主要是通过描述人口增长带来的环境问题，呼吁人们树立环保意识。
