My marriage was in trouble, I was pregnant (怀孕的) and not particularly well and I didn’t have much money. Looking back I think I was also a bit depressed, but I had to get on with taking care of my daughter the best I could.One day I thought I would take my daughter to the park for a nice day as she liked there, and I thought it was a nice thing to do. I decided to walk because the bus was expensive, so it took us a long time to get there. When we finally got there, immediately my daughter began to cry. She was cold, she was thirsty, and she wanted to go home. To be honest, I had not prepared properly. I didn’t even have any money to buy a drink or to take the bus back home. I was so frustrated and cross with myself that my dream of a nice day failed. I started walking back home (it was nearly 2 miles), and my daughter would not stop crying. I felt so miserable and cross with(生…的气)myself and my life that I started crying too.At that point a car stopped and a gentleman offered us a lift. He took us home, and seemed really concerned-he even offered me all his change! The kindness of this stranger to a stranger like me really made me feel better. I never saw him again and I don‘t know who he is but he really helped me out that day, so I just want to say thank you.21．The writer writes the passage in order to________.A．tell us how she got through her difficult timeB．tell us what kind of life she and her daughter once livedC．tell us a journey she and her daughter had without moneyD．express her sincere thanks for the driver who once helped her22．Why did the writer go through a difficult time when her daughter was about 2 years old? A．Because her daughter was too young and noisy and she didn’t know how to care for her. B．Because she loved her daughter too much and took care of her as best as she could. C．Because she was worried about her own health.D．Because there is something wrong with her marriage, health and money.23．What finally caused the writer to cry?A．Her own poor situation.B．Her feeling sorry to her daughter.C．The lack of money.D．The failure of her dream of a nice day.24．According to the passage, we can infer that________.A．the writer could afford a bus ticket at that timeB．the writer will never forget the kindness given by the driverC．the writer received the driver’s change and bought drinks for her daughterD．the driver knew the writer and her daughterB篇There are stories about two U.S. presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper. he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the clubthe Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.25.The author __________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun26.

According to the second story，the term ‘‘OK”____________A. was the short way to say ‘‘old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren ’s supporters in the election三、短文改错（每小题2分，满分20分）Christine was just a girl in one of my classes.
