49. C put sb to the trouble of doing sth为固定结构，意为“给某人带去做某事的麻烦”。此处that trouble指上句提到的“…drive you wherever you wish…”句意：我告诉她，我不能给她添这样的麻烦，但她不假思索地否决了我的反对意见。故选C。
50. B老太太提出自己开车接送作者，自然要问清楚其住址。故选B。

I could hear everyone whispering.“Who in our school could draw __50__ well？”
Mr Brown waited a while before saying，“__51__ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a __52__，too.Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan！”
Mr Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set.“Thank you，” she cried.
I__53__，at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she'd probably never __54__ anything in her whole life.

【要点综述】本文讲了一个来自非洲的儿童Suzy被美国家庭收养，为了让孩子了解美国生活，他们把孩子送进学校和美国孩子一起学习，但那些美国孩子却经常嘲笑她。一次偶然的机会，“我”发现了她的绘画才能，并把她介绍给艺术老师。艺术老师也认同她的绘画才能，让她帮自己制作才艺秀的海报。在才艺秀结束的时候，校长颁发给Suzy一个特殊的奖项，同学们也接纳了她。
36. A班里的男孩子会拿她开玩笑，然后就是哄堂大笑。而她也只好眼含泪水地假装看书。joke about 拿……开玩笑；care about介意，在乎；forget about忘记；worry about为……担忧。根据语境可知选A。
37. B这个非洲孤儿被美国家庭收养，美国家庭决定(认定)和美国孩子在一起才能让她学会美国的生活方式。decide这里是“认定，断定”的意思。report报告，报道；complain 抱怨，投诉；question质疑，提问。
38. C根据上文叙述，这个女孩比同龄12岁的孩子都要瘦小，所以“我”低头看着这个小小的女孩子，下决心无论如何都要帮助她。rich富有的；proud骄傲的；popular流行的，受欢迎的。A、B、D三项显然都不符合语境。tiny ＝very small。故选C。
39. C“我”打算帮助这个女孩与大家融洽相处。文章标题已给出提示。fit in with(与……)合得来，适应。
40. D根据上文“我”决定帮助小女孩与大家融洽相处，所以“我”必须寻找一个方法。manner做事或行为方式，多指行动的特殊方式或独特的方法；pattern模式，花样，图案；choice选择；way“方式，方法，手段”，可指一般的方法，有时也指个人的方法或方式。因为这里没有谈到什么方法，所以只能用笼统的方法way。
41. C Suzy把书打开到火车图片那里。open…to“把……翻到”，to是介词，表达“到……地方”。
42. B根据下文提示“‘Why, it's wonderful…’”可知，她对火车图的复制，效果非常好，与此题选项中的perfect意思相近。
43. D根据后文提示the talent show可知这是一个才艺秀。
44. D根据上文可知Suzy在画火车，所以“我”把她画的东西展示给艺术老师看。colour涂色和染色；write书写；carve雕刻；draw画。
45. C根据文章内容，这里是老师拿出一张为“才艺秀”做的海报。for意为“为……”。
46. B由该空前面的more和空后的help两个词可知，老师还需要更多的海报，但老师“没有足够的时间”，所以才请Suzy帮忙制作。
47. D艺术老师想让Suzy帮忙制作一些海报，所以，才艺秀当天应该到处都能看到
Suzy制作的海报。
48. A才艺秀当天大家都表演了，还要颁发一个特殊的奖项给制作海报的人，因为制作海报原本不是才艺秀的内容。
49. A句意：我们一个学生画了这些海报。可以使用paint一词，表示绘画。
50. B so表示“那么，那样”，修饰形容词或副词，也可以使用that，两者意思相近。that well＝so well。
51. D因为这位同学如此努力地画了这些海报，所以值得奖励。since＝now that/because。
52. A因为努力画了这些海报，这位同学值得奖励。prize奖励；rank等级，秩序；rest 休息；place地点，位臵。
53. B作者意识到Suzy从来没有拥有过什么，这些成就和别人的承认第一次让她意识到自己的重要性。reply回答；realize意识到；remember回忆；regret后悔，遗憾。
54. C因为是外来的移民，没有融入大家的生活中，这次活动让大家看到了Suzy拥有的东西。

【要点综述】本文讲述了一个生命的奇迹的故事，Simon和Joe一起攀登安第斯山脉的Siula Grande峰，Joe摔断了腿，摔进了冰裂缝，最后他顽强地爬回到了几英里之外的营地。文章告诉我们只要我们遇到困难不放弃，一切都有可能。
41. C根据“Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande…”和on their way back可知他们成功地到达了山顶。
42. A根据but表示转折，与前面的成功攀登构成对比，以及“Joe fell and broke his leg.”可知在回来的途中，他们陷入了困境。
43. D根据“…he would probably get back…”可知，如果Simon一个人继续走的话，他可能会回去。
44. B根据“…he would probably get back…”可知，Simon可能会安全地返回。
45. D根据“…and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope…”可知Simon 试图用绳子把Joe送到山下去，这表明他要冒着生命危险，尽全力帮助朋友下山。
46. C在他们继续往下走的过程中，天气变得越来越糟糕。
47. D根据下文的“…Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁)．”可知，因为看不清、听不清对方，Simon把Joe送到了一个悬崖边上，说明他们又遇到了另一个麻烦。
48. A根据“They couldn't see or hear each other…Simon lowered his friend over the edge
of a precipice(峭壁)．”可知，由于失误Simon把Joe送到了悬崖边上。
49. D Joe再爬上来或者Simon把他拽上来都不太可能。
50. B根据“…was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.”可知，由于Joe在悬崖下面悬着，因此他的体重也把Simon往悬崖下面拖拽着，即他们两个都有可能掉下悬崖，丧失生命。
51. A根据“…after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold…”和“…he cut the rope.”可知，经过在黑暗和寒冷中一个多小时的挣扎，Simon最终做出了决定。
52. C见上题解析。
53. B根据cut the rope和into a huge crevasse可知Joe掉了下去。
54. A根据but和“…to get out of the crevasse and started to…”可知他虽然不能走路了，但是还是设法从裂缝中爬了出来，向着营地移动。
55. C见上题解析。
56. B营地大约有10千米远。
57. D Simon已经安全地返回了山脚。
58. A根据上文Simon割断绳子，Joe掉下悬崖等，和“He thought that Joe must be…”可知，Simon认为Joe一定死了。
59. C虽然Simon认为Joe死了，但是他并不想立即离开营地。

【文章大意】作者和女儿一起坐飞机去看望丈夫，但是由于登机牌的问题她们没能够坐在一起，而且别人也拒绝和她们换座位。和她们有着类似情况的还有一位母亲和她的三个
孩子，当她们无可奈何时，一队童子军主动帮助了她们。
26．B worried担忧的；excited兴奋的；anxious焦虑的；eager渴望的。根据后面的原因状语从句“…because we hadn't seen him for five months…”可以推测在即将见到五个月未曾见面的丈夫(或者女儿的父亲)时，作者和女儿非常兴奋，故选B。
27．D love爱；consider认为；imagine想象；miss想念。从上文“…because we hadn't seen him for five months…”可以推测孩子非常想念父亲，故选D。
28．A full满的；crowded拥挤的；empty空的；overweight超重的。根据下文作者的讲述可知从Charlotte到Miami的航班满载着乘客，而crowded则表达拥挤混乱之意，不符合飞机的实际状况，故选A。
29．B reach到达；arrive到达；land着陆；knock敲击。reach 是及物动词，不和介词搭配；arrive at 是“到达”的意思。故选B。
30．C divide分离；block阻碍；separate分开；connect联系。根据“…Kallie and I could not get seats together…”可知作者和女儿没有坐在一起，答案为C。
31．D in case万一；even if即使；as if好像；so that为了。根据上文可知作者和女儿没有坐在一起，想和别人换座位是为了能坐在一起，方便照顾女儿，所以此处表示目的，故选D。
32．B prevent阻止；refuse拒绝；agree同意；promise许诺。根据“…they thought they should stay in their assigned seats.”可知他们没有答应作者换座位的请求，故选B。
33．A panic恐慌；hurry匆忙；rush冲；seat座位。从下文的叙述可知坐在作者前面的一个母亲和她的三个孩子都没有坐在一起，孩子们不能受到照顾。根据“She was in tears…”判断当时母亲和孩子们内心慌乱，故选A。
34．C however然而；otherwise否则；therefore因此；instead代替。由上句内容“There had been a mistake in their boarding passes…”和下句内容“…the whole family had been split up.”可知前后是因果关系，故选C。
35．D too也；even甚至；ever曾经；also同样。根据上文内容可知作者想换座位遭到了别人的拒绝，此时这位母亲同样也遭到了拒绝，故选D。
36．A concerned担忧的；curious好奇的；particular特别的；content满意的。母亲非常担心没在自己身边的小男孩儿，故选A。
37．B suggest建议；offer提供；provide供应；supply提供。从词的搭配可知offer 后可以跟不定式，表示“主动提供”，而其他动词没有此用法，故选B。
38．C duty责任；watch观看；board木板，甲板；spot斑点。on duty值日；on watch 值班，监视；on board在飞机或轮船上；on the spot当场。根据文章内容可知这是在飞机上发生的事情，故选C。
39．D take花费；cost花费；pay付款；spend度过。spend time doing sth 花费时间做某事。他用五分钟重新安排了一下他的队员。
40．B convenient方便的；available有效的，可以使用的；probable可能的；comfortable 舒服的。从语境可知童子军的队长重新安排队友的位置是为了能够给母子四人腾出足够的地方，故选B。
41．D permission允许；excuse借口；apology道歉；complaint抱怨。根据cheerfully 可知他们欣然接受队长的安排，而没有丝毫勉强和抱怨，故选D。
42．A thought想法；end结尾；feeling感觉；sense情感。当孩子一想到不能挨着妈妈坐的时候，会感觉恐慌。at the thought of表示“一想到……”，故选A。
43．D immediately立刻；puzzlingly迷惑地；clearly清楚地；amazingly惊讶地。从当时的情景可知在作者没有提出请求的情况下，一个陌生人主动帮助她们，这让作者感到吃惊，
