Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset.

It was the first snow of winter – an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying（烦人的）little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”

第三篇
Karen Rusa was a 30-year-old woman and the mother of four children. For the past several months Karen had been experiencing repetitive thoughts that centered around her children's safety. She frequently found herself imagining that a serious accident had occurred;she was unable to put these thoughts out of her mind.On one such occasion she imagined that her son,Alan,had broken his leg playing football at school. There was no reason to believe that an accident had occurred,but she kept thinking about the possibility until she finally called the school to see if Alan was all right. Even after receiving their assurance that he had not been hurt,she described herself as being somewhat surprised when he later arrived home unharmed.Karen also noted that her daily routine was seriously hampered by an extensive series of counting work that she performed throughout each day.Specific numbers come to have a special meaning to her;she found that her preoccupation with these numbers was interfering with her ability to perform everyday activities.One example was grocery shopping. Karen believed that if she selected the first item,some dreadful thing would happen to her first child, if she selected the second item,some unknown disaster wonld fall on her second child, and so on for the four children.Karen's preoccupation with numbers extended to other activities, most notable the pattern in which she smoked cigarettes and drank coffee.If she had one cigarette, she believed that she had to smoke at least four in a row or one of her children would be harmed in some way. If she drank one cup of coffee,she felt compelled to drink four. Karen acknowledged the unreasonableness of these rules,but,nevertheless,maintained that she felt more comfortable,when she observed them earnestly.When she was occasionally in too great a hurry to observe these rules, she experienced considerable anxiety in the form of a subjective feeling of dread and fear. She described herself as tense,uneasy and unable to relax during these periods.Which of the following solutions could most probably cure Karen of the illness?
A:Her children were all right.
B:She stopped counting numbers.
C:She consulted a psychoanalyst.
D:She quit smoking.答案：C解析：本题是阅读综合理解能力考查题。题目是：以下哪项有可能治疗凯伦的疾病？选项A“她的孩子都完好”；选项B“她停止计数”；选项C“向精神分析学家求助”；选项 D“戒烟”。根据常识判断，我们可确定答案为C。

Bum rate is the speed at which a start up business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn′t have money for paying checks yet.
Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M.I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology "guy" in-house.
Katherine Henderson, a film maker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating office. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
We had some really good people, but we still didn′t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000.
I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
"I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You′ll do well. You′re going to work for it, but it′ s satisfying when you build your own company."
Who could have thought I′ d find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.
By ′,Angel money", the author refers to _____________.A.the money borrowed from banks
B.the money spent to promote sales
C.the money raised from close friends
D.the money needed to start a business答案：D解析：词义题。从文章第一段“So，I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors．‘Angel money’ it was called．"可知“Angel money”是第一批投资商投入的资金，此时公司刚刚成立，从而可以推断“Angel money”是用来创业的，故选D。 -

Britain's Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight,going out on sailing trips with her aunt.She loved it
so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat.When she was 18,she
sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year"award.
But Ellen really became famous in 2001.Aged only 24,she was one of the only two women who entered
the Vendee Globe round the world solo race,which lasted 100 days.Despite many problems,she came second
in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality.When she was younger,
she lived in a kind of hut（棚屋）for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a trans-
atlantic race.Then she took a one-way ticket to France,bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht,slept
under it while she was repairing it,and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997,alone
for 33 days.
Ellen has had to learn many things,because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own cap-
tamn,electrician,sailmaker,engineer,doctor,journalist,cameraman and cook.She also has to be very ft,and
because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time while she's in the middle of the ocean,she has
trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage.Once,In the middle of the ocean,she had to climb the mast（桅杆）of a boat to
repair the sails一at four o'clock in the morning,with 100 kph winds blowing around her.It took her many
hours to make the repairs;Ellen says:"I was exhausted when I came down.It's hard to describe how it feels
to be up there.It's like trying to hold onto a big pole,which for me is just too big to get my arms around,with
someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off."
But in her diary , Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile（值得的）: " A beautiful
sunrise started the day,with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.I have a very strong feeling of
pleasure,being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this.I just feel lucky to be here."Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years___________.
A:while she was learning how to repair sails
B:while she was trying to get financial support for a race
C:because she was interested in country life
D:because she was ambitious for the coming race答案：B解析：短文第二段提到，“她是进人Vendee Globe环球个人帆船比赛的两个女选手之一”,“尽 管遇到了许多困难，在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名。"D选项与文章内容相符，因此，答案为D。
短文第三段第二句指出：“为了努力获得赞助去参加穿越大西洋的帆船比赛，她在一个 棚屋里住了三年。”选项B中的短语get financial support for a race与文章中的短语get sponsor-ship to compete in a transatlantic race同义。因此，B为正确答案。
solo意为“唯一的；单独的”。 single-handed“单人完成的；独自”。
仔细阅读短文第四段可以判断出选项B“她必须是自己的教师”没有在这一段出现。因此，这个选项不符合文章内容。
短文最后一段记述了Ellen当时的心情，清楚地表现了Ellen快乐的心情。因此，答案为C。第二篇 短文讲的是“一间房”学校对美国人的影响。 -

To Have and Have Not
It had been boring hanging about the hotel all afternoon.The road crew were playing a game with dollar notes.Folding them into small planes to see whose would fly the furthest.Having nothing better to do,I joined in and won five,and then took the opportunity to escape with my profit. Despite the evil-looking clouds,I had to get out for a while.
I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others,it didn't have a sign shouting its name and business,and instead of the usual impersonal modern lighting,there was an appealing glow inside.Strangely nothing was displayed in the window.Not put off by this,I went inside.
It took my breath away.I didn't know where to look,where to start. On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly -made .I came across tin toys and antique furniture,and on the wall in front of me,a 1957 stratocaster guitar,also in excellent condition.A card pushed between the strings said $50.I ran my hand along a long shelf of records,reading their titles.And there was more...
"Can I help you?"She startled me.I hadn't even seen the woman behind the counter come in.The way she looked at me,so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field.I found it hard to take and almost turned away.But though it was uncomfortable.I was fascinated by the experi- ence of her looking straight into me,and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger,nor strange, to her.
Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible to tell her age.She reminded me faintly of my grandmother because,although her eyes were friendly.I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with .I spoke at last."I was just looking really",I said,though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.
The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room,indicating that I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room.The light made me feel peculiar,too.It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over eve-rything. There were no rare electric guitars,no old necklaces,no hand-painted boxes with deli-cate flowers.It was also obvious that it must have taken years,decades,to collect so much rub-bish,so many old documents arid papers.
I noticed some old books,whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read."they look interesting",I said,with some hesitation."To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience",she said clearly.She noted the confused look on my face,but didn't add anything.
She reached up for a small book which she handed to me."This is the best book I can give you at the moment",she laughed."If you use it."I opened the book to find it full,or rather empty,with blank white pages,but paid her the few dollars she asked for it,becoming embar-rassed when I realised the notes were still folded into little paper planes.I put the book in my pocket,thanked her and left.The writer disliked the back room because______.
A: there was hardly anything in it
B: she had ordered him to go there
C: he saw nothing he really liked
D: it was too dark to look around答案：C解析：本题的问题是：为什么作者想要离开宾馆？ 由本文第一段第一句可以得出答案。在宾馆是十分无聊的，最后一句也写出作者不顾天气不好而想要出去走走，A,C选项错误，D选项未提及。
本题的问题是：是什么吸引作者到那个商店？ 由第二段中间“there was an appealing glow inside.”可以得出答案。
本题的问题是：作者发现在小店前面存放的物品是怎样的？从第三段对于物品的详细描述可以得出答案。“On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made .I came across tin toys and antique furniture,and on the wall in front of me,a 1957 Stratocaster guitar,also in excellent condition."
本题的问题是：那个女人看他的方式有什么不同？ 由第四段最后一句“I was fasci- nated by the experience of her looking straight into me,and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.”有一种似曾相识的感觉。
本题的问题是：作者不喜欢后屋的原因？从文中的第六段和第七段可以得出结论，他认为没有什么他真正喜欢的东西。"It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades,to collect so much rubbish,so many old documents arid papers.""I noticed some old books,whose gold lettering had faded,making their titles impossible to read.‘They look interesting,’I said,with some hesitation." -

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States，yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies.As she once said of herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking-chair，waiting for someone to help me.”
She was born on a farm in New York State.At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven，she married Thomas Moses，the tenant of hers.They farmed most of their lives.She had ten children，of whom five survived;her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition，and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930‘s and her death she produced some 2，000 pictures：careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known，with a wonderful sense of color and form.

Goldie's Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A. Shocked.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Annoyed.
D. Upset.

Bum rate is the speed at which a start up business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn′t have money for paying checks yet.
Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M.I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology "guy" in-house.
Katherine Henderson, a film maker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating office. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
We had some really good people, but we still didn′t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000.
I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
"I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You′ll do well. You′re going to work for it, but it′ s satisfying when you build your own company."
Who could have thought I′ d find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.

Bum rate is the speed at which a start up business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.

There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift.The noise died down.Carefully she?opened her eyes.Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above,so beautiful that she?stared in wonder,hardly turning away from the window till they touched down.

To Have and Have Not
It had been boring hanging about the hotel all afternoon.The road crew were playing a game with dollar notes.Folding them into small planes to see whose would fly the furthest.Having nothing better to do,I joined in and won five,and then took the opportunity to escape with my profit. Despite the evil-looking clouds,I had to get out for a while.
I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others,it didn't have a sign shouting its name and business,and instead of the usual impersonal modern lighting,there was an appealing glow inside.Strangely nothing was displayed in the window.Not put off by this,I went inside.
It took my breath away.I didn't know where to look,where to start. On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly -made .I came across tin toys and antique furniture,and on the wall in front of me,a 1957 stratocaster guitar,also in excellent condition.A card pushed between the strings said $50.I ran my hand along a long shelf of records,reading their titles.And there was more...
"Can I help you?"She startled me.I hadn't even seen the woman behind the counter come in.The way she looked at me,so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field.I found it hard to take and almost turned away.But though it was uncomfortable.I was fascinated by the experi- ence of her looking straight into me,and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger,nor strange, to her.
Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible to tell her age.She reminded me faintly of my grandmother because,although her eyes were friendly.I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with .I spoke at last."I was just looking really",I said,though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.
The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room,indicating that I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room.The light made me feel peculiar,too.It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over eve-rything. There were no rare electric guitars,no old necklaces,no hand-painted boxes with deli-cate flowers.It was also obvious that it must have taken years,decades,to collect so much rub-bish,so many old documents arid papers.
I noticed some old books,whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read."they look interesting",I said,with some hesitation."To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience",she said clearly.She noted the confused look on my face,but didn't add anything.
She reached up for a small book which she handed to me."This is the best book I can give you at the moment",she laughed."If you use it."I opened the book to find it full,or rather empty,with blank white pages,but paid her the few dollars she asked for it,becoming embar-rassed when I realised the notes were still folded into little paper planes.I put the book in my pocket,thanked her and left.The writer wanted to leave the hotel,why?
A: To enjoy the good weather.
B: To have a change of scene.
C: To spend all his winnings.
D: To get away from the crew.答案：B解析：本题的问题是：为什么作者想要离开宾馆？ 由本文第一段第一句可以得出答案。在宾馆是十分无聊的，最后一句也写出作者不顾天气不好而想要出去走走，A,C选项错误，D选项未提及。
本题的问题是：是什么吸引作者到那个商店？ 由第二段中间“there was an appealing glow inside.”可以得出答案。
本题的问题是：作者发现在小店前面存放的物品是怎样的？从第三段对于物品的详细描述可以得出答案。“On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made .I came across tin toys and antique furniture,and on the wall in front of me,a 1957 Stratocaster guitar,also in excellent condition."
本题的问题是：那个女人看他的方式有什么不同？ 由第四段最后一句“I was fasci- nated by the experience of her looking straight into me,and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.”有一种似曾相识的感觉。
本题的问题是：作者不喜欢后屋的原因？从文中的第六段和第七段可以得出结论，他认为没有什么他真正喜欢的东西。"It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades,to collect so much rubbish,so many old documents arid papers.""I noticed some old books,whose gold lettering had faded,making their titles impossible to read.‘They look interesting,’I said,with some hesitation." -
第22题：
Only then__________that she had made a mistake.A.she realized
B.did she realize
C.had she realized
D.she had realized答案：B解析：考情点拨:本题考查倒装句型。应试指导:句意：只有到那个时候，她才意识到自己犯了个错误。以“only+状语或状语从句”开头的句子要用倒装结构，即把助动词放在主语前。then意为“那时”，表示过去，所以要用一般过去时。 -

BScarcely had she dipped
