Read the two passages and answer the questions.(10 points)
Blameless
I was a freshman24 in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them instantly. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
“Who did this?” My mother would yell about a mess in the kitchen.
“This is all your fault, Katharine,” My father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn't worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer that Jane died.
Mr. and Mrs. White had six children: three sons and three daughters. One son had passed away in childhood, which may be why the surviving five children remained so close.
In July, the White sisters and I decided25 to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two oldest, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy had recently turned sixteen. The proud possessor of a brand-new driver's license26 (驾照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less populated areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to an intersection27 (道路交叉点) with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn't see the sign no one will ever know, but Amy continued into the intersection without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to brake (刹车) in time, plowed28 into our vehicle.
Jane was killed instantly.
I survived the accident with only a few bruises29 (伤痕). The most difficult thing that I've ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. As painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two surviving daughters sharing a room. Sarah's head was wrapped in bandages; Amy's leg was in a cast (石膏). They hugged us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls' tears and teased a few giggles30 (咯咯笑) out of Amy as she learned to use her crutches31 (双拐).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We're so glad that you're alive.”
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations32.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, “Jane's gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister's death?”
They were right. Amy graduated from college and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She's also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.
51. The writer of the article is _________.
[A] Mrs. White's niece
[B] The Whites' cousin
[C] Sarah's friend at college
[D] Jane's friend at school
52. In what way did the writer find the White family completely different from her own?
[A] Her parents were not as good-natured and loving as the Whites.
[B] Hers were very strict parents while the Whites were too permissive.
[C] When something went wrong the Whites didn't blame their children for it.
[D] When something bad happened, her parents wanted the children to learn a lesson.
53. How did the accident occur?
[A] Amy ran a stop sign at an intersection and a truck crashed violently into their car.
[B] Amy wanted to impress her sisters and was driving too fast to see a coming truck.
[C] Amy was too nervous to brake in time when she saw a truck running towards them.
[D] Amy was an inexperienced driver and didn't know what to do when she saw the sign.
54. Mr. and Mrs. White did not blame Amy for Jane's death because _________.
[A] Amy was badly injured herself and they didn't want to add to her pain
[B] they didn't want Amy to live with a guilty conscience the rest of her life
[C] Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best
[D] they didn't want to blame their children before an outsider
55. From the passage we can conclude that _________.
[A] Amy has never recovered from the shock
[B] The accident didn't change Amy in the least
[C] As her head was severely33 damaged, Amy didn't feel any guilt
[D] Amy has lived quite a normal life, but she can never forget Jane
I Want a Wife Too
I belong to that group of people known as wives. I am a Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.
Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a divorce (离婚). He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was cooking one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?
I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children's doctor appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean.
I want a wife who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who arranges for their schooling34, makes sure that they have an adequate (足够的) social life with their peers (同伴), takes them to the park, the zoo, etc.
I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the washing up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me while I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.
If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life: My wife will take the children and be solely35 responsible for them so that I am left free.
When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully16 and completely take care of a wife's duties.
My God, who wouldn't want a wife?
56. The author is _________.
[A] a married man

[C] he cannot have clean clothes to wear without a wife
[D] material comforts can not be attained36 without a wife
58. According to the author, a husband usually wants all of the following EXCEPT _________.
[A] being able to marry a new wife whenever he pleases
[B] being bound for life with his wife by marriage
[C] being able to insist that his wife take a job while he is at school
[D] having the right to demand that his wife perform a wife's duties entirely37 at home when he has got a job
59. What is implied in the last paragraph?

Ⅶ.【参考答案】
Sample 1:
In my opinion, understanding, respect and responsibility are the three most important elements of love.
Love means knowledge or understanding. By knowledge, I mean I know the person I love. I am aware of the many sides of the other person not just the beautiful side but also the imperfections.
Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love. If I love you I can see you as a separate person with your own values, feelings and interests. I do not insist that you give up your own identity and conform to what I expect you to be.
Love means responsibility towards the person I love. If I love you, I'm responsive to most of your needs as a person. I am directly involved in your happiness and misery44.
All in all, understanding, respect and responsibility are the three most important elements of love. (148 words)
Sample 2
As far as I'm concerned, the most important elements of love are knowledge, tolerance45 of imperfection and its reciprocal nature.
Knowledge means not only being aware of what the other person is now, but also seeing the potential within the person. It implies knowing the person inside out not only the strengths but also the weaknesses, not only the obvious characteristics, but also the inner self.
Tolerance of imperfection entails46 a willingness to stay with each other in hard times and see each other's problems through. In this imperfect world, both sides should be prepared for times of pain, failure and despair, and believe that love can make the world go round.
By nature love is reciprocal. It involves two sides. Both persons love and are loved; care and are cared for. They both benefit from their love; they are a stimulant47 for each other to become more fully what they might become. (153 words

Read the two passages and answer the questions.(10 points)
Blameless
I was a freshman24 in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them instantly. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
“Who did this?” My mother would yell about a mess in the kitchen.
“This is all your fault, Katharine,” My father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn't worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer that Jane died.
Mr. and Mrs. White had six children: three sons and three daughters. One son had passed away in childhood, which may be why the surviving five children remained so close.
In July, the White sisters and I decided25 to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two oldest, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy had recently turned sixteen. The proud possessor of a brand-new driver's license26 (驾照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah's new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less populated areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to an intersection27 (道路交叉点) with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn't see the sign no one will ever know, but Amy continued into the intersection without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to brake (刹车) in time, plowed28 into our vehicle.
Jane was killed instantly.
I survived the accident with only a few bruises29 (伤痕). The most difficult thing that I've ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. As painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two surviving daughters sharing a room. Sarah's head was wrapped in bandages; Amy's leg was in a cast (石膏). They hugged us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls' tears and teased a few giggles30 (咯咯笑) out of Amy as she learned to use her crutches31 (双拐).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We're so glad that you're alive.”
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations32.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, “Jane's gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister's death?”
They were right. Amy graduated from college and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She's also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.
51. The writer of the article is _________.
[A] Mrs. White's niece
[B] The Whites' cousin
[C] Sarah's friend at college
[D] Jane's friend at school
52. In what way did the writer find the White family completely different from her own?
[A] Her parents were not as good-natured and loving as the Whites.
[B] Hers were very strict parents while the Whites were too permissive.
[C] When something went wrong the Whites didn't blame their children for it.
[D] When something bad happened, her parents wanted the children to learn a lesson.
53. How did the accident occur?
[A] Amy ran a stop sign at an intersection and a truck crashed violently into their car.
[B] Amy wanted to impress her sisters and was driving too fast to see a coming truck.
[C] Amy was too nervous to brake in time when she saw a truck running towards them.
[D] Amy was an inexperienced driver and didn't know what to do when she saw the sign.
54. Mr. and Mrs. White did not blame Amy for Jane's death because _________.
[A] Amy was badly injured herself and they didn't want to add to her pain
[B] they didn't want Amy to live with a guilty conscience the rest of her life
[C] Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best
[D] they didn't want to blame their children before an outsider
55. From the passage we can conclude that _________.
[A] Amy has never recovered from the shock
[B] The accident didn't change Amy in the least
[C] As her head was severely33 damaged, Amy didn't feel any guilt
[D] Amy has lived quite a normal life, but she can never forget Jane
I Want a Wife Too
I belong to that group of people known as wives. I am a Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.
Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a divorce (离婚). He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was cooking one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?
I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children's doctor appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean.
I want a wife who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who arranges for their schooling34, makes sure that they have an adequate (足够的) social life with their peers (同伴), takes them to the park, the zoo, etc.
I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the washing up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me while I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.
If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life: My wife will take the children and be solely35 responsible for them so that I am left free.
When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully16 and completely take care of a wife's duties.
My God, who wouldn't want a wife?

[A] being able to marry a new wife whenever he pleases
[B] being bound for life with his wife by marriage
[C] being able to insist that his wife take a job while he is at school
[D] having the right to demand that his wife perform a wife's duties entirely37 at home when he has got a job

Ⅶ.【参考答案】
Sample 1:
In my opinion, understanding, respect and responsibility are the three most important elements of love.
Love means knowledge or understanding. By knowledge, I mean I know the person I love. I am aware of the many sides of the other person not just the beautiful side but also the imperfections.
Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love. If I love you I can see you as a separate person with your own values, feelings and interests. I do not insist that you give up your own identity and conform to what I expect you to be.
Love means responsibility towards the person I love. If I love you, I'm responsive to most of your needs as a person. I am directly involved in your happiness and misery44.
All in all, understanding, respect and responsibility are the three most important elements of love. (148 words)
Sample 2
As far as I'm concerned, the most important elements of love are knowledge, tolerance45 of imperfection and its reciprocal nature.
Knowledge means not only being aware of what the other person is now, but also seeing the potential within the person. It implies knowing the person inside out not only the strengths but also the weaknesses, not only the obvious characteristics, but also the inner self.
Tolerance of imperfection entails46 a willingness to stay with each other in hard times and see each other's problems through. In this imperfect world, both sides should be prepared for times of pain, failure and despair, and believe that love can make the world go round.
By nature love is reciprocal. It involves two sides. Both persons love and are loved; care and are cared for. They both benefit from their love; they are a stimulant47 for each other to become more fully what they might become. (153 words
