We caught him as soon as he got out of the elevator. He couldn't believe that we found him so quickly. We told him that his name and address were on the front of the envelope he used!

When the Great Library of Alexandria was burned, the story goes, and one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it.
The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮纸）on which was written the secret of the "Touchstone". The touchstone was a small pebble（鹅卵石）that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years.
One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity（机会）.Unless we are vigilant, it's easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.
31.According to the passage, the touchstone is a stone _____.
A. that you can touch
B. that can turn common metal into pure gold
C. that can bring you thousands of pebbles
D. that can bring you good luck
32.The man threw the touchstone into the sea because _____.
A. it was cold
B. it was a normal pebble
C. he was too tired to hold it
D. he had formed a habit
33.How did the man probably feel when he realized it was the touchstone
A. Excited. B. Moved. C. Interested. D. Regretted.
34.What's the meaning of the underlined word "vigilant" in the last paragraph
A. Brave enough. B. Hard-working enough.
C. Careful enough. D. Strong enough.
35.What does the writer want to tell us
A. Opportunity knocks but once.
B. Use it or lose it.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. Practice makes perfect.

答案以及解析
一、
1.答案：D
解析：句意: 如果最终下雨, 我们也许不得不取消运动会。run out意为 "用完", break out意为"爆发", find out意为"查明", 都不符合句意; turn out有"结果是"的意思, 符合句意。故选D。
2.答案：A
解析：句意为: 当我们有空闲时间时, 我们应该为我们的父母分担一些家务。此处为固定短语be supposed to do sth, 意为"应该做某事", 故选A项。
3.答案：A
解析：考查非谓语动词辨析。结合句意可知，应该用 see sb do sth的结构。
4.答案：D
解析：考查定语从句。句意：—明天是父亲节。你给你爸爸的惊喜是什么？—我要做的第一件事就是给他做一张卡片。先行词前有序数词修饰，定语从句用关系代词that引导，故选D。
5.答案：C
解析：考查定语从句。句意：并不是所有观看到这个视频的孩子都会成为一名科学家，但有些或许会对科学感兴趣。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词 children指人，应用关系代词who引导定语从句。故选C。
6.答案：D
解析：考查定语从句中的关系代词。句意：—嗨，安娜。你想和我一起看《扫毒》吗？—你说的是陈木胜导演的那个新的警察故事吗？答语中定语从句的先行词为 story，指物，关系代词要用 which。故选D。
7.答案：D
解析：考查定语从句。句意：慈善机构已经用人们筹的钱帮助了更多的孩子们。定语从句的先行词是 the money，表示物，应用关系代词that或 which引导定语从句。故选D。
8.答案：A
解析：考查定语从句。句意：我妈妈不喜欢有着悲伤结局的故事。定语从句的先行词是 stories，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，定语从句要用that或 which引导。故选A。
9.答案：A
解析：句意: 我昨晚读的那本书极好。分析句子结构可知, 后面的"I read last night"是定语从句, 关系代词在从句中作宾语, 其先行词是指物的名词book, 故应用that引导。what不能引导定语从句, whose 与who引导定语从句时的先行词是人不是物, 可排除。故选A项。
10.答案：C
解析：句意: 昨晚他到家时, 发现他的妻子躺在地板上, 死了。find当 "发现"讲时, 不能用于进行时, 排除选项A和D; 主句中已有谓语动词found, 不能再用谓语动词died, 只能用形容词dead作宾语补足语, 故答案为C。
11.答案：B
解析：句意: —那个年轻人一定和这次犯罪有关系, 对吗 —我认为是这样, 尽管他坚持说他没有做任何违法的事。根据语境, 可知选B。
12.答案：B
解析：形容词修饰复合不定副词, 要放在复合不定副词之后。排除选项 C、D。everywhere relaxing 使人放松的每个地方; somewhere relaxing 使人放松的某个地方。结合句意可知选B。
13.答案：D
解析：句意: 红十字会为玉树无家可归的人提供食物和帐篷。consider"考虑"和divide"划分", 都不符合句意, 可排除。provide sb. with sth./provide sth. for sb.为某人提供某物; offer sb. sth./offer sth. to sb. 给某人提供某物, 都是固定短语。由此可知选D。
14.答案：A
解析：句意: —你觉得西蒙怎么样 —嗯, 我觉得很难和他和睦相处。get along with 与……和睦相处; get through 穿过; get to 到达; get across被理解。结合句意可知, 答案为A。
15.答案：A
解析：句意: 我之前向朋友展示的那条项链不见了。这让我非常悲伤。 lose表示"丢失"时, 是及物动词。be lost被丢失了; get lost迷路; be missing丢失的; miss表示"丢失"时, 是不及物动词, 没有被动语态, 故排除D项。根据谓语动词made可知此处用一般过去时,故排除B 项。主语The necklace是第三人称单数形式, 故谓语动词用第三人称单数, 故排除C项。故选A。

How is everything going？I'd like to tell you a story about my classmate, Wang Liang.
On a rainy day, Wang Liang found there was a group of people gathering together on his way to school. Walking up there, he saw an old lady lying on the ground. He then learnt that the old lady fell down suddenly when she was crossing the road. He crouched down and held his umbrella over the lady to protect her from the rain. A few minutes later, the ambulance came and the lady was rushed to hospital. Then Wang Liang left quietly. What a good and helpful boy he is！We should learn from him.
