We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Christmas is approaching. But shooting massacres (残杀) cast a tragic shadow over the holiday season in the US.
On December 5, a gunman killed eight people, before taking his own life, at a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska. On December 9, five people, including the gunman, died in two attacks in Colorado.
While people are busy trying to discover the killers’ motives (动机), another issue is causing heated debate in the country --- the weapon the killers used.
The US is one of just a few developed Western countries that allow private possession of guns. Any adult can buy army style weapons from a handgun to an AK-47.
“The right to own arms is a part of the Constitution (宪法). Many Americans believe it to be a fundamental freedom,” said Jonathan Haagen, who worked for Teens.
When the United States was still a group of colonies, they dealt with a lot of corruption (腐败) from the British. Therefore, American people considered it a great danger for the government to have control of all the weapons. Private gun ownership was important in their fight for freedom.
However, with more and more killings in schools and shopping malls, lots of Americans argue that they should do away with the right to bear arms. But the National Rifle Association (NRA) said this position violates (违反) the Constitution.
The NRA is fond of saying it is not guns but people who kill. In some cases, this is true. But in many other cases, owning guns is what causes the murder. According to the US Department of Justice, more than 10,000 crimes a year are committed with guns.
（1）________________________ of Private Guns in the United States

Original belief
It was dangerous for the government alone to control all the weapons.
It was important for people to own private guns to (2)___ for freedom.
Present situation
The US is one of the few Western countries where any (3)____ has the freedom to possess private weapons.
As a result, more than 10,000 crimes are committed with guns (4)_____. Three attacks alone in Nebraska and Colorado in December, for example, claimed altogether (5)____ people’s lives.
People have different (6)_____ towards owning private guns.
Those in (7) __ __ of owning guns believe that it is the freedom given by the Constitution. Besides, the key factor in killing is (8)__ __ instead of guns.
(9)_____, those against owing private guns argue that the right to own guns should be removed, because a(n) (10)____ number of killings occur in schools and shopping malls.

参考答案
Ⅰ. 单项选择：
1-15 AACDB 6-10 ADCAB 11-15 BCBAD

5.【答案】B 考查时态。依据题意用进行时表将来。再如：We are leaving for Shanghai tomorrow. They are coming here next week.
6.【答案】A 考查谓语动词单复数及时态。从tomorrow afternoon.判断，此处用现在进行时表将来，a poet and artist 指一个人。
7.【答案】D. 考查名词词义辨析。 practice 做法, 惯例 。state情形；国家；州. intention n. 意图；目的；意向；occasion n. 场合；时机，机会；理由。

so what那又怎么样，表示的是对不关自己的事情。
10.【答案】B  考查情态动词用法。这里表对目前状况的否定推测，故用can。再如：He can't be in the library. 他不可能在图书室里。
11.【答案】B  考查动词时态。从“How terrible!”知忘记带钱包了，故用过去时态。
12.【答案】C  考查倒装句及时态。Never在句子开头，所以要倒装。再根据后文 before you arrived in Beijing，故现在过去完成时态。
13.【答案】B  考查副词短语. B项other than意为“除……外”，此处相当于except, 符合题意。rather than "宁可…也不愿；而不是”。其余两项明显不合题意。

15.【答案】D 动词辨析题。distribute意为“分发、分配、分送”． advocate vt. 提倡，主张，拥护；separate vt. 使分离；使分居；使分开vi. 分开；分居；隔开。divide vt. 分开；划分；除；使产生分歧。

16．【答案】C 作者对男生打篮球“silently watch”和“really envied”，自己身为女生，可能永远与篮球无缘。后文谈到的自己无法享受对篮球的爱也是选择线索。

18．【答案】B 刚开始“我”可以自由打篮球，因为我只是个小孩，没有人会cared（介意）。

21．【答案】D stare at“目不转睛地看, 凝视, 盯着”。glare at“怒视”，glance at“匆匆一瞥”，均不合题意。“甚至当“我”去和朋友们打篮球时，男孩们也盯着“我”看(不理解)，就好像“我”是个外星人似的”。
22．【答案】D 参上一题。
23．【答案】B 学校不谁、家庭不让、男孩不理解，这一切使“我”打篮球的梦想根本无法实现，“我”感到心情沮丧。feel down引申为“感觉沮丧的；情绪消沉；感到沮丧”。
24．【答案】C 下文交待“我”新交的朋友鼓励“我”重新回到篮球场，这一转机在当时是无法预料的，故选择Unexpectedly．
25．【答案】A 他们鼓励“我’回到篮球场。故选择return。
26．【答案】B Go your own way, let others talk.走你自己的路，让别人说去吧。
27．【答案】A 本文话题是篮球与女生，而且周围环境也在发生变化，更使她喜欢篮球，因此该空应填basketball。
