【详解】考查定语从句。句意——海啸什么时候袭击印尼的？——12月26日正在举行音乐会的时候。此处为定语从句，从句中缺少时间状语，海啸和音乐会是同时发生的，故用while，故B项正确。
【点睛】本题很容易误选that，但根据答语“12月26日正在举行音乐会的时候”判断此处是定语从句，从句中缺少时间状语，海啸和音乐会是同时发生的，故用while，如果理解成强调句型的话，句意就是“音乐会是在12月26日举行的”，显然不符合逻辑。

A man requested on a wise man to help his son quit his bad habits. The wise man took the boy for walk in a garden. Suddenly he stopped to ask the boy to pull out a tiny plant there. The boy hold the plant between his thumb and forefingers and pulled it out. The man then asked him to pull out another plant what was a little big. The boy pulled hardly and the plant came out. “Now pull out that one,” said the man point to a bush. The boy tried his best but couldn’t pull it out. “So it is the same with bad habits” said the wise man. “When you are weak, it is easy to pull them out, though when they become strong, they can’t be rooted.”
参考答案：

1.考查动词。动词request（要求）是及物动词，可以直接接宾语，故将on去掉.
2.考查冠词。固定词组：for a walk（去散步），故加a....
3.考查动词。说的是过去的事情，所以要用一般过去时态，故将hold改为held.
4.考查名词。是说在他的拇指和食指之间的，只有两上指头，所以食指forefingers要用单数形式，故将forefingers改为forefinger.
5.考查关系代词。先行词是plant，是事物，从句中缺少主，所以用用关系代词，故将what改为which/that.
6.考查形容词。相比上个plant更大一点，还有修饰比较级的a little，故将big改为bigger.
7.考查副词。句意：男孩很费力地拉植物拉出来了。副词hardly（几乎不），而本句中应使用hard（努力地），故将hardly改为hard.
8.考查现在分词。现在分词pointing作状语，与这句话的主语the man是主动关系，故将point改为pointing.
9.考查代词。此处是人称用错，是指那些植物，故将you改为they.
10.考查连词。前后两句是并列句，用表示转折的but连接，故将though改为but.
三、 阅读理解
21. Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；Someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color1 of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
60. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A. Places where people lived. 
B. People’s occupations.
C. Talents that people possessed.
D. People’s characters.
61. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.
A. owned or drove a cart 
B. made things with metals
C. built houses and furniture
D. made kitchen tools or contains
62. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.
A. Donald Greenwood                  B. Leonard Carter
C. George Longstreet                    D. Beatrice Smith
63. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _______.
A. later sponsors                     B. later generations
C. friends and s                   D. colleagues and partners

22. My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.
25. What the grandfather was most worried about was ______.
A. the spread of the world war
B. the safety of his two cousins
C. a drop in his living standards
D. his s killing each other
26. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “______”.
A. order for army service           B. train ticket for Europe
C. letter of rejection               D. note of warning
27. What did the “service pins” (in Para. 2) stand for in the eyes of the little girls?
A. Strength.                              B. Courage.
C. Victory.                               D. Honor.
28. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
A. Disappointing.                        B. Unexpected.
C. Uncertain.                             D. Inspiring.
