willing“决心要”;B. waiting“等待”;C. managing“管理”;D. trying“试图”。根据上文作者将一个价值几百美元的古董盘子只卖了一美元可知,他让父亲损失了钱,因此本句话的意思应是:我在这本是试图帮助我的父亲做生意,但我却让他亏钱了。故选D。

excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While
traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 4 , nothing about my term in France was
what I 5 .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my
host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 I received some shocking
news from my program-coordinator (协调人): there had been a death in my host parents'
extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to

(5)考查动词。句意:但是我在法国的半学期和我预想的完全不一样。A. expected“预期”;B. liked“喜欢”;C. doubted“怀疑”;D. feared“害怕”。此处通过"while"我们可得知,作者对于"term in France"并没有期待,故选A。

adapted“使适应”。根据语境可知,为了避免说本族语(此处是英语)的诱惑,我要求不要和一个说英语的室友安置在一起。be adapted with sb.固定短语,"和某人安置在一起",故选D。
(12)考查动词。A. added“添加”;B. introduced“介绍”;C. devoted“献身于”;D.

(16)考查形容词。A. surprised“惊讶的”;B. disturbed“扰乱的”;C. embarrassed“尴尬的”;D. concerned“关心的”。根据上文人们问作者这次旅行中最喜欢的部分,作者却说的是他的室友,并不是首段中作者的设想,此结果不仅让他人"surprised",就连作者本人都没有想到。故选A。

Tom and explained how he had come to 6 the neighborhood on garbage day, returning
cans for people he 7 knew. Back when he'd been fighting a war I wasn't alive to see, his

liars can make false eye contact.
Eye contact, though not a sure 16 of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in
another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so, you know his attention is
17 on you. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably 18 . But there is
19 . A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how

are much 20 adaptable to eyeball-to-eyeball contact than, say, the French and the Arabs.

For me, two of the loveliest words in English are "Life persists".
I 1 them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, 2 , working on a
paper. Out of nowhere, those words came 3 off the page in a quote, "In the midst of
death life persists, in the midst of 4 truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists."
Suddenly I wasn't unhappy and impatient any more. Then I 5 my granddad. I loved to
talk with him. And I was 6 to hear what he'd think of it. He had poor hearing, so I had to

9 ,"he said on the phone. I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring
and 10 to find that quote. "Why is that?" he asked. "Well, spring is a sure 11 that

18.阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Goal setting seems to be a hot topic, yet it's easy to know about but difficult to practice.
People set goals, work hard at them for even a few months, and then 1 them. Next
year, they set the 2 goals. But why do so many people do it? They may be making goals
too 3 . But that isn't to say that they aren't 4 goals. They need to be broken apart
into smaller and 5 pieces. Make spoon-size goals and you'll accomplish them 6 .
Many people are probably unwilling to 7 you to reach your goals. They're
8 with you when you have your own goals. They may even be enthusiastic about your
9 to change something or accomplish something new. 10 , as you change and
accomplish, they may not like it. Why? It's usually because your changes and accomplishments
11 them that they could be doing it, 12 they aren't!
You may have filled your 13 with so many things that there's little 14 for your
goals to grow. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with 15 , as goals are always
achieved step by step. Be 16 about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often comes when you know what to 17 , rather than what to include in your life.
Goal setting is like the pig and chicken walking out early one morning. The chicken became
really 18 when she saw a sign: “Ham & Eggs, $2.99”. She said to the pig, “Look, we've got
double billing again.” The pig said, “That's 19 for you to say! For you, it's all in a day's
work. For me, it's total commitment.” Goal setting is all in a day's work. Goal 20 is total
commitment.
