Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, zxxk Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. zxxk

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970,American have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many ,many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices .

Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ,; today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .

Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson .

One of the latest trend(趋势) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.

“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says. zxxk

Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.

“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”

The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.

I have no class on Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons. Please let me know which day is OK with you. You may email or phone me. Here are my email address and phone number: lihua@1236.com; 12345678.

Look forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

解析：

21答案A解析考查交际用语。句意：“我们邀请约翰和芭芭拉来参加周五的派对吧。”“好啊，我现在就给他们打电话。”从题意可知，说话人同意了对方的观点，why not为什么不，表赞成，因此选A。

22. 答案D解析考查连词。题目中前半句说，她试过；后半句说Sue不能打开门，明显前后两个句子意思相反，所 以选择D。 as表示“虽然”，引导让步状语从句。句意：虽然她试了，但还是无法打开门。

23.答案C解析考查动词的时态。前句表示现在的情况make no sense，后句表示到将来会产生的后果will have changed。一般现在时表示主语的特征或状态。is making和has made表示具体的动作过程，故不选。因此选C。句意：计划这么超前毫无意义——到明年许多事情会发生变化的。、

24. 答案A解析考查动词的时态。句前wasn’t sure表明说话的起点是过去时，was really interested和was just being polite都是相一致的过去时。故选A。句意：我不能肯定他是真正感兴趣呢还是仅仅为了表示礼貌。

25.答案C解析考查转折连词。前半句为，有人给你打电话；后半句为，没人知道我在这儿。根据句意可知前后两句明显为转折关系，因此选C。

26.答案B

解析考查短语动词的辨析。句意为“房子里东西凌乱我能忍，但是脏我讨厌。”come up

with想出, 提出；put up with 忍受, 容忍；turn to转向,翻书到,求助于,(使)变成；stick to坚

持，紧跟，粘住，忠于。

27.答案B解析rise升起来和see看到这两个动作是同时发生的，因此选择进行式表示非谓语动词动作和谓语动词动作同时发生。选B。句意：接下来我们看到的是从屋子后面冒出来的烟雾。

28.答案D解析本题考查的是以only引导的状语从句引起的部分倒装，应把主句中动词的助动词提前至句首，所以选D。句意：只有当他到了茶馆的时候，他才意识到跟去年呆的是同一个地方。

29.答案A解析考查动词的时态。过去完成进行时主要表示持续到过去某时之前的动作。came to苏醒过来是过去时，苏醒前的情况是过去的过去，强调过去的过去里发生的事，故选A。句意：当Alice苏醒过来时，她不知道她在那儿躺了多久了。

30.答案B解析考查副词短语的辨义。句意为“这张表格只能由你本人签字。”rather than而不；other than除了，相当于but和except；more than不仅仅；better than比……多、好。选B。

31.答案C解析考查定语从句。本题主句中的先行词writer作者和从句中的主语story故事有所属关系，现行词writer在可以作为story的定语，译为作者的故事，因此选C。 whose。句意：我们的奖金会颁发给故事情节最富想象力的作者。

32.答案 D解析考查虚拟语气的用法。will have done将来可以完成；can have done可能做过……吗？表示对过去行为的怀疑，用于疑问句；must have done一定做过某事，表示对过去事情的肯定推测；should have done本来应该做某事，而实际没做。but their flight was delayed这样的结果，说明他们本来该到达却没有到达，因此选D。句意：他们本该午饭时到达，但他们的航班推迟了。

33.答案解析句意：人们普遍认为男孩必须学会像男人那样勇敢地站起来去战斗。两个空都表示泛指，因此都填不定冠词a。

34.答案C解析考查动词的辨析。disappear消失，不复存在；fall降落，跌倒，降低；fail (指健康)衰退, 衰弱；damage损害,毁坏,加害于。句意：William 发现阅读越来越困难了，因为他的视力开始衰退。

35.答案D解析考查交际用语。句意“艺术家有时生活是挺困难的。”“嗯，你嫁给了一个艺术家，你是应该了解的。根据句意应选D。A.You name it。 表示全都说出来，B.I’ ve got it。表示我明白了，C.I can’t agree more。表示我同意。根据题意可知D为最佳选项。

57. D解析推理判断题。依据第三段第二句There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen推断送奶工甚至拿着客户家的钥匙，这主要是由于彼此的信任，而不是被看作家庭的一员。

58. B解析细节理解题。依据第四段内容可知，后来形势发生了变化，牛奶的价格便宜了，销售更普及了，送奶的工作就变得不实际了，因此这一行被市场淘汰了。

59. A解析细节理解题。依据第五段内容得知，作者后来带回家一个送牛奶的箱子，放在了后门的门廊里，这引起了孩子们的好奇，借此讲述过去的故事和美好记忆，主要是怀念过去。

61. A解析词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising.可得出答案。句中的This指的是在报纸上做广告。
