Ⅰ.语法填空
A couple had been married for over 60 years.They shared everything，talked about everything and kept no secrets __1__ each other except that the woman had a box in a drawer __2__ she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
He'd never thought about it ever since.One day __3__ woman got very sick and the doctor said she wouldn't recover.To sort out their affairs，the husband took down the box and __4__(bring)it to his wife's bedside.She agreed it was time that he should know __5__ was in the box.
__6__(open)it，he found two small table mats and a sum of money totaling $25，000.He asked her about the contents，“When we were to be married.”She said，“my grandma told me the secret of a happy __7__(marry)was never to argue，and I should just keep quiet and make a mat __8__ I got angry with you.”
The man was so __9__(move)that he had to fight back tears.She had only been angry with him twice in all those years of living and loving！“Honey，”he said，“that explains the mats，but what about the money？Where did it come from？”
“Oh，”she said，“that's the money I made from selling __10__．”
【语篇解读】 携手走过60多年的老夫妻一直都相敬如宾。而在老妇人最后的日子里，她向丈夫坦白了她深藏多年的秘密。
1．from 考查介词。keep a secret from sb.为固定词组，表示“保守(秘密)”。
2．that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是定语从句，修饰先行词a box，故用that或which。
3．the 考查冠词。此处特指上文提到的“the woman”，故用the。
4．brought 考查动词的时态。根据上文中的“took down”可知，此处为一般过去时，所以用brought。
5．what 考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导宾语从句，作know的宾语，且从句中缺少主语，故用what。
6．Opening 考查非谓语动词。open与其逻辑主语he构成逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用Opening。
7．marriage 考查名词。根据语境和句子成分可知，该空应用marry的名词形式marriage。
8．if/when 考查连词。根据语境可知，此处引导状语从句，所以用if或者when。
9．moved 考查非谓语动词。丈夫被感动了，所以用moved表示“使感动”。
10．them 考查代词。them在此处指代上文提到的mats。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune，it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong，the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
In an accident，a boy lost both his arms and his father－who was the main source of support for the family.Since then，he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him，his younger brother became his shadow，never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes，he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
As the two brothers grew up together，they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day，his younger brother wanted to leave，living his own life，as many normal people do.So he was heart－broken and didn't know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl，too.One night her mother，who suffered from chronic(慢性的)mental illness，disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother，leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents，only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove，resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city，showed her willingness to take care of her.She was determined to be completely independent.At school，she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self－reliant.
One day，the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own，whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life.They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes.The boy wrote：My younger brother's arms are my arms；while the girl wrote：Broken wings，flying heart.
