　　母爱是伟大的。它深藏在母亲的内心--不会轻易表露出来--和表现在母亲为孩子所作出的牺牲中--它给母亲自己却带来了疤痕。文章中的这个小男孩后来认识到了这一点。
题号 答案 考查内容解题依据 解题分析
　　8 D 词义比较逻辑推理 虽然(in spite of)妈妈脸上有疤痕，但这疤痕却掩饰不住妈妈的美丽和亲切。in sight of临近, 可被...望见；by means of通过，用，借助于；by way of 经由, 作为, 为了；in spite of虽然，尽管…仍，相当于though she had the scar on her face。
　　9 A 逻辑推理词义比较 但小男孩仍然感到尴尬难堪，而把自己藏(hide)起来，以免被大家看见。hide隐藏，掩饰，强调不被他人看见、发现；protect保护，强调不被他人伤害；separate分开, 隔离，使之不聚在一起；escape逃避, 避免，强调不被他人逮住而免去责任。
　　10 C 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 他真的躲避了起来，却听到(hear)了妈妈和老师之间的一段对话。注意within(在……的范围内, 不超出……的范围)的意义。hear是先决起始动作，先有了hear，而后才会有understand(明白，了解)、learn(获悉)和remind(提醒，使想起)。
　　11 A 常识运用逻辑推理词义比较 老师询问的是妈妈脸上的疤痕，就肯定是小心谨慎地(carefully)，而决不是、也用不着严肃认真地(seriously)，紧张不安(nervously)，忧虑不安地(anxiously)。
　　12 B 语句连贯词义比较 事情发生在小男孩还是婴儿的时候(when)。as当……时，通常指伴随着另一情况而发生；when当…的时候，指某一行为或情况发生之时，另一行为或情况也发生，通常是短暂行为；since自……以来，通常与现在完成时态连用；while当……的时候，通常指与另一情况的同时发生，表示持续行为。
　　13 D 句法结构 此题考查too…to do sth.的结构。
　　14 A 逻辑推理固定搭配 因为火控制不住(out of control)，所以大家就都不敢闯进去救人。out of control不受控制，失去了控制；under control被控制住；in control在控制之下；over不与control搭配。
　　15 C 词义比较逻辑推理 妈妈被坠落的木头撞得失去了知觉(senseless)。helpless无助的, 无能的, 没用的；hopeless没有希望的, 绝望的, 不可救药；senseless不省人事的, 无感觉的；useless无用的, 无效的, 无益的。
　　16 D 词义比较逻辑推理前后照应 妈妈她用不着指着(point)，擦揩(wipe)脸面，老师能够看得到，它也用不着展示(show)，而是摸了摸(touch)她烧坏的右脸，有所感触。注意与后句的联系。
　　17 B 词义比较逻辑推理 这个疤痕很丑(ugly)，很严重(serious)，很恐怖(frightening)，这都没有关系，问题是它会持久(lasting)而再也抹不去。
　　18 D 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 可即便是这样，且直到今天，我忘不了(forget)，我也考虑(consider)了，我也认可(recognize)了，但我从来没有后悔(regret)过我所做的一切。
　　19 B 词义辨析逻辑推理 小男孩把妈妈楼在怀里，他感到了妈妈为他作出的牺牲的重大意义(sense)。honor尊敬，敬意，荣誉，光荣；sense意义，意味，意思；happiness幸福，快乐；pride自豪，骄傲。
　　20 C 词义比较逻辑推理 在这天余下的时间里，他不是突然地(suddenly)，静静地(quietly)，轻微地(slightly)，而是紧紧地(tightly)握着妈妈的手。

III 理解
A
I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (懂事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
49. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A. for you to make more and more new friends
B. to begin your business talks
C. to get the conversation going smoothly
D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
50. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to _______.
A. make clear what kind of person he is
B. listen to his reply attentively
C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D. go on asking him more questions
51. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.
A. are good at making any topic interesting
B. never talk too much or too little
C. always speak in a gentle way
D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
52. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.
A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend
B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake
D. it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him
