This story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him. Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn't feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my self-esteem problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.
About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval the “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. Not a day goes by that he doesn't tell us that we are the best thing that ever happened to him and that he loves us. 1.

答案及解析：
1.B细节判断题。她丈夫总是不断地批评她。第一段第二句“For seven long years my husband spent his every moment telling me just what was wrong with me.”(在长达七年的时间里我的丈夫总是说我这也不对那也不对.) 丈夫的这种态度是她要求离婚以结束这种不幸婚姻的原因，因此B符合原文和题目要求, 是正确答案. A.丈夫经常在晚上叫醒我, 文章未提到。 C.她不迷人。D.她有自尊心太强的问题, 都不是她婚姻失败的原因, 因此均为错误答案。 2.D细节判断题。她丈夫说她不迷人不值得爱。第一段第三句“When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive.”(当我终于提出离婚时, 他说我永远都不会找到爱我的人, 因为我一点都不迷人。), 因此D选项符合原文与题目要求, 为正确答案；A选项：告诉她她永远都不会找到象他那样爱她的人；B选项：拖了两年才给她答复；C选项：指责她与别的男人有染。 都与原文不符, 故均为错误答案。
3.C 推理判断题。Clint不可能真的喜欢她。文章第二段说到, 作者第一次见到Clint时, 她鼓起勇气给他买了饮料, Clint 报以迷人的微笑。后来, 他们几乎聊了一整夜。不过, 作者认为Clint对她有好感只是因为她给他买了饮料, 故C选项为正确答案。A选项：她早该听她朋友的话早点见Clint, 文中没有有关信息。B选项：Clint是个迷人的不错的年轻男子, 文中并未这样总结概括Clint, 只是说他的笑很迷人, 那一会对她也不错(I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink...),D选项：她会在Clint那里找到真爱, 文中并未这样说, 故A，B，D均为错误答案。
4.A 细节判断题。他爱她的两个儿子并请求他们同意他娶他们的妈妈。文章第三段第二句“I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were the “men of the house”at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. ”(他去见了我的儿子并请求他们同意他娶他们的妈妈, 这让我很感动) 符合题目要求, 因此A选项为正确答案。B选项里他说他无法想象没有我们母子三人的生活. 这是他求婚的原因而不是他让她特别感动的原因. C选项他认为她的两个分别是两岁, 四岁的儿子是她们家的“当家人”。D选项他陪着她一直聊到第二天凌晨。B，C，D都与问题不符, 故均不是答案。 5. A 细节判断题。这给了她和她的儿子幸福生活的第二次机会。A选项这给了她和她的儿子幸福生活的第二次机会, 符合原文及题目要求,因此是正确答案。B 每天Clint都会告诉她他爱她，太片面。C 与Clint的婚姻帮助她恢复了自尊心. 与题目无关, 文中也未提到。D与Clint的婚姻给孩子带来了快乐, 这就是她所在乎的。不符合题意，文中也没有有关信息。故B，C，D均为错误答案。
Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C. I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair.
What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”
