I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!

I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really 36 schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, the train was completely 37 and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly 38 . Besides, I had a bit of a headache. _39 quickly across the station hall, I fished some 40 from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit 41 The Big Issue ( a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).

_42 the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the

Big Issue. She really looked like she'd been sleeping 43 . Her clothes were 44 and she

obviously hadn't had a scrub up (擦洗) for quite a while.

As I 45 the exit, I saw that she was 46 from side to side. At first I thought maybe she was trying to keep 47 against the biting wind. But she wasn't, she was moving in time to a 48 . I couldn’t hear her, but I could see her lips moving.

When I got closer, I saw a white 49 hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was 50 , dirty and living on tile streets. I came closer and through the 51 of the traffic I heard her 52 the immortal (不朽的)line, \"... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!\"

I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally 53 . She thanked me, then she 54_ her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement – still singing!

So, I have my happy 55 for the day. And I think it will stay with me a long, long time. 36. A. enjoyable 37. A. crowded 38. A. moving 39. A. Crawling

36．C 考查形容词词义辨析。此处 on a really tight schedule\"时间安排得确实很紧”。 37．A描述火车上十分拥挤，故选crowded。

38．D从上下文看，作者认为周围不停的对话特别无聊，故选meaningless。

39．B下车后，穿过车站大厅，walk across\"穿过，走过”；wander \"徘徊；漫步；闲逛”。 40．C从下文看作者要在出口处买一份杂志，所以从口袋里寻找零钱，change符合意义。 41．A作者知道在出口处会有人买(卖)杂志(the Big Issue)。 42．D当拥挤的人群在大厅里散开时，故选连词as。

43．B sleep rough是固定搭配，意为“露宿(在公园过夜)；睡得难受”。 44．A根据上下文可知买杂志的妇女衣衫褴褛，故正确答案是ragged。 45．C approached \"接近，靠近”．符合意义。

51．A当我走得更近一点时，透过交通的喧闹声。

A

1．A 因为是交通高峰期，她急于赶火车，于是向司机建议了一条能最快到达目的地的路。in a hurry to do sth.“急于做某事”。

2．D 此题易误选A项，但从下文来看，此处并未选定走哪条路，只是建议而已。故选D项。

3．B 从司机所说的话来判断，他一定是“很生气”的。下文中的“annoyed”一词也是暗示。

4．C 女商人试图向司机解释，她并不是想要惹司机生气的，因此答案为C项，mean to do sth.“打算做某事”。

5．D 结合上下文语境可知，司机不断大喊大叫。

6．A 她意识到他恼怒得已经不讲道理了，由此可知，reasonable“讲道理的，理性的”符合语境。thoughtful“沉思的，思考的”；normal“正常的，平常的”；practical“实际的，实践的，实用的”。

7．B change one's mind“改变主意或想法”。女商人见此情景，她改变了想法。 8．B 女商人对司机说自己似乎犯错误了，居然认为司机不是最熟悉城市道路的人。由此可知答案为B项，而stupid“愚蠢的”语气太重。

9．C through“从……的一端到另一端，穿过，贯穿”符合题意。

10．A 对女商人的突然转变，司机自然是感到“惊奇”的，他不再跟她争论，居然开车送她了。

11．A 坐在出租车上的自然应是rider“乘客”。

12．A 直到女商人下车付车费，司机一句话也没有再讲。本句考查了句型：not...until...，“直到……才……”。

13．D be faced with“面临，面对”。句意：当你发现自己面对像这位出租车司机那样的人时，你常常试图坚持己见，但是这样只能引起更多的争执……”。

14．C 根据上一题解析可知应该选择C项stick to，意思是“遵守，坚持”。 15．B 此处指固执己见的后果之一是破坏婚姻。destroy“毁坏，毁灭，破坏”。 16．D 此题容易误选C项，但but强调的是后面的内容，而本句强调的是“one simple method”，所以排除。根据句意可知，作者发现一种简单的方法，虽然不是特别容易做到，但能阻止危机的发生。由此可知D项正确。

17．B result in“引起，导致，以……为结局”，符合题意。

18．C 此处要表达“关键是要站在别人的立场上”之意，由此可知C项正确。key“关键，要害”。

19．D truth“真理，正确的因素”。句意：关键是要换位思考，要认可对方话语中的某些合理成分。

20．A 先设法认可或同意对方（的意见），你可能会得到意想不到的结果。

I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in 39 in which I was working with adults (成年人). I have had to learn to think and 40 like an adult to be taken seriously. So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast. I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting(反思)on the 41 eighteen years---thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what 42 I have yet to achieve.

We are expected to work hard, get excellent 43 , be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do 44 . The list goes on and on. But the 45 is clear: We live in a society today that is 46 our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy---free. We are expected to 47 the strict school rules and to excel（擅长）in everything we do.

I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they 48 me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a 49 lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We ------珍贵文档!值得收藏！------

had finished a job at a remote（遥远的）site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had 50 to his house. We were talking about the 51 he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I 52 my basketball hoop(篮圈).” Then he threw a basketball to me. I hadn’t 53 a basketball in five years.

We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 40 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time 54 like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have 55 once in a while.
