【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，作者圣诞节期间买东西的时候，碰见了一个小男孩和一个小女孩用自己攒的钱给即将去世的妈妈买鞋子，想让妈妈穿着它去见耶稣。作者帮他们完成了买鞋子的愿望，作者非常感谢上帝用这些孩子来提醒自己真正给予的精神。

1．A.shortest B．longest

2．A.at most B．at least

C．more than D．less than

答案：B逻辑推理题。由but转折词可知虽然作者找了队伍最短的一列去排队，但看起来至少还得等待20分钟。at least至少；at most至多；more than多于；less than少于。

C．two D．some

答案：B词语辨析题。搜查某地找某物用search，这里指男孩在口袋里找钱。search for 和look for后面都是直接跟要寻找的东西。

9．A.another B．more

C．other D．others

答案：C词语辨析题。男孩发现钱不够，因此说：“我认为我们要过些时间再来，可能是明天吧。”other指“其他的”，符合句意。others是代词，后面不能跟名词。

Ⅵ.阅读理解

A

The Hoover Dam，built in 1931，is named after the former President Herbert Hoover.The Colorado River made the dam necessary，which begins high in the Rocky Mountains.Heavy snow falls on the Rocky Mountains.The snow is so deep in some areas that it will stay on the around well into the hot days of summer.But the snow does melt.Cold ice water travels down the mountains and forms several rivers.These rivers link together and form the beginnings of the Colorado River which flows through，or provides water for the states of Wyoming，Colorado，Utah，New Mexico，Arizona，Nevada and California.Then it crosses the border into Mexico.

The Colorado River has always been extremely powerful.It created the huge Grand Canyon.The water cut hundreds of meters deep into the desert floor of Arizona.The Grand Canyon was cut into the desert floor beginning thousands of years ago.But the power of this river has been demonstrated(证实)in more modern times.Between 1905 and 1907，the Colorado River caused great amounts of flooding in parts of Arizona and California.In two years of flooding，the Colorado River filled the ancient lake called the Salton Sea.The flooding also flooded homes，towns and farming areas.Many people were forced to flee their homes.

In 1918，Arthur Davis advised the government to build a dam to control the Colorado River.He said the dam should be built in an area called Boulder Canyon on the border between the states of Arizona and Nevada.On November 24,1922，officials signed a document in New Mexico.

When the Hoover Dam was finished in 1936，it was the largest dam in the world.And it was the largest power producer that used water power to make electricity.Today this title needs discussing.But Hoover Dam is still a huge and interesting place.

1．______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______

6．______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______

答案：

1．in考查介词。此处为“这辆车状况良好吗”。in good condition表示“处于良好的状态”。

2．but考查连词。根据上下文语境可知，此处叙述的是这辆车的里外情况，前后存在转折关系，故用but。

3．wrong考查常用表达。“What's wrong with sb./sth.？”常用来询问某人或某物出什么毛病了。

4．which考查定语从句。根据上下文语境可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为a new engine，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用which。

5．Besides考查副词。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示并列关系，故用besides，表示“况且”。
