Although gifts are always welcome, it is not necessary to exchange (交换)gifts at any time. They exchange gifts only among good friends. Usually when you are invited to dinner, you needn’t bring a gift except on special occasions, for example, when you are going to be a weekend guest(客人). If you wish to bring something, the gifts should always be small , simple and cheap. You might bring some sweets or some flowers , a bottle of wine for the host (主人). If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring some Chinese tea, Chinese paintings , Chinese paper cuts (剪纸), or other things like that, or even you can cook Chinese dish and bring it with you.Westerners prefer to open a gift at once, and admire(赞美)it. They would thank you and make some comments (评论) on the gift’s beauty so that you know they like your gift very much.( )51.The westerners ____________________________.A. never exchange giftsB. exchange gifts at any timeC. exchange gifts among good friendsD. don’t like gifts at all( )52.

How to exchange giftsB. Westerners’ GiftsC. About Giving GiftsD. Special Gifts( B )In 1896, the first modern Olympic games was held in Athens. Since then many countries have successfully held the Olympics, such as England, France, Germany, Canada, the USA, Spain and Australia.After more than a century thegames returns to its hometown. When people hold the Olympic games, they always make an emblem( 会徽). The emblemof the Athens Olympic games is a white circle of Oliver branches (橄榄枝 )in the sky.Now Athens is developing a spirit of peace(和平). An officer said, “While in Athens, the world should be at peace. We hope the peace is not just for a short time. We would like the message from the Athens Games to help countriescome together and solve (解决 ) their problems. Four years from then, the Olympic games will be held in Beijing, China. And China has already made a sealas the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic games. The emblem has a single Chinese character on a real seal and means “Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing (中国印.舞动的北京)”. Below it , there are the words “Beijing 2008”. The character in the emblem is “Jing”. It means “capital” of China and it is also like a runner or a dancer. The running figure (人形) on the emblem shows the spirit of the Olympics – faster, higher and stronger.( )56.In which country was the first modern Olympics held ?A. GreeceB. the USAC. AustraliaD. France( )57.What do people always make when they hold the Olympic Games ?A. A pictureB. An emblemC. A flagD. A map( )58..What message does the Athens Games want to give ?A. WarB. LuckC. DangerD.

This kind of operation is known as robotic operation. Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month , while a sixty-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools (工具)and a small video camera in her stomach(胃). Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder(胆囊 ) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later. Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high –speed Telecommunications ( 通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order (命令 ) to a robot to move the tool quickly.Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation . For example, the robot can make such smaller movements (动作 ) than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.( )61.The underlined phrase “robotic operation” means “ _________________”.A. a special kind of robot invented by doctorsB. something done to mend a robotC. an operation done by French and American doctorsD.an operation done far away with the help of a robot( )62.We use the robot in the operation because ____________________________.A. it can send messages in a high speed (速度)B. even a top doctor can’t do the operation himselfC. it can make the operation safer and betterD. operations can be done without doctors( )63.. If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve (解决) the problem of _____.A. top doctorsB. smaller movementC. doctor trainingD. high-speed telecommunications( )64. Which of the following is NOT true ?A .Robotic operation has been used in the USA.B. Robotic operation is good for doctor trainingC. Experts speak highly of robotic operationD. The robot is used to watch the patient clearly( )65. Which do you think is the best title of this passage ?A. Different ways of doing operationsB. Operations on different peopleC. Robotic OperationD. Doctors are no longer needed(D)Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors, cards,special learning centers—in short,everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的)school.After the first day,little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead,he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread(铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room,without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity(好奇心) She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it?Was it the nuns (修女)?”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head,“No.”“Well then,” she asked again. “What was it?”Little Tommy looked at her and said,“Well,on the first day of school,when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign(加号),I knew they weren’t joking.”( )66. Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school?A. Because he could eat well there.B. Because he could earn more about nuns.C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math.D. Because his parents didn‘t want him to learn math any more.( )67.

中考英语分项汇编阅读理解记叙文阅读01Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”“Who hides it?”“Robbers(劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or a chest full of diamonds(钻石).”So, on Saturday afternoon the boys went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs(蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.“Keep still! There’s someone downstairs!”The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard(西班牙人) in a wide hat. The other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear.Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Indian Joe. Tom and Huck felt even more frightened.The men sat down on the floor and ate. They then lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.”The dirty man went to the fireplace(壁炉) and moved a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs.—Adapted from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer1.Except Tom and Huck, how many people are mentioned in the passage?A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.2.According to Tom, what may not be included in the hidden treasure?A.Dollars.B.Diamonds.C.Golds.D.Silvers.3.How did Tom and Huck feel when they found the two men downstairs?A.Worried.B.Excited.C.Afraid.D.Happy.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Tom thought Spaniards liked hiding treasure.B.The two man got the $650 through robbery.C.The two man took the $650 away.D.The two men hid the money under the floor.5.Why didn’t Tom and Huck feel frightened at last?A.The two man made friends with them.B.Their attention was caught by the money.C.They left the house and ran away.D.They decided to fight with the two man.02Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizing formulas (公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was “slow”. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My goal was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are influenced by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also react to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers and they try to achieve a sense of purpose. They get advantages from detailed and exact instructions and constant feedback (反馈).Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious (耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I should think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was attractive. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept chasing them, even though I couldn’t always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me the same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate (候选人) in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.6.Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college?A.Because he wasn’t interested in math.B.Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him.C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class.D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.7.We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ________.A.was busy looking for math problems to solveB.studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC.met with laborious calculations in his studiesD.began to realize what mathematics really is8.What is the best title for the text?A.Interest is the best teacherB.Be the best — you can make itC.Math, taught like footballD.Once your teacher, always your teacher03When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d beenpromoted (晋级) to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year. 9.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.She liked her new position.B.She got a promotion at work.C.She made good preparations.D.She had to face the challenge.10.Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3? A.disorganized B.busy C.confident D.hard-working11.What is the text mainly about?A.Growth of kids.B.Experience as a school parent.C.New life in school.D.Advice on lifestyle change.04One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside. When they came to a pretty garden, he called to his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with (乱动) anything in it.”Frank walked along the paths and looked at everything, but touched nothing. He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers in case he might break them.The gardener was very pleased with Frank because he was so careful not to make trouble. He showed him the seeds (种子) and told him what the flowers and plants were.While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden?”“No,” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and even picked some fruit. I do not let boys into my garden who meddle with the plants.”Ashamed, the boy walked away slowly.Seeing this, Frank felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with that which does not belong to him.12.What can we learn from the story?A.The gardener knew Frank’s mother very well.B.The gardener was unwilling to let Frank in.C.Frank had visited the garden the day before.D.The mother was strict with her son.13.How did the gardener react (反应) to Frank’s behavior in the garden?A.He was very happy with Frank.B.He wanted Frank to brush his flowers.C.He thought Frank was a troublemaker.D.He asked Frank to be more careful.14.As the other boy left, he _______.A.hated Frank very muchB.got angry with the gardenerC.realized his own problemsD.meddled with more plants15.What lesson might Frank learn from the other boy?A.Don’t compare yourself to others.B.Good manners are very important.C.Never believe in a little boy.D.Listening to Mom is never wrong.05That night the wind and the rain woke Mary up.“Horrid(非常讨厌的) rain!” she said. “It came because it knew I didn’t want it.”Then she heard another noise. It was the strange crying sound. She got out of bed, picked up the candle and went out into the long, dark corridor(走廊) outside her room. As she followed it, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, she arrived at a door. She opened it quietly andwent in.The room was large and full of beautiful old furniture.There was a fire in the fireplace and a candle next to a big bed. In it she could see a boy and he was crying. He had a white face, long dark hair and big grey eyes. He looked ill but he wasn’t crying because he was in pain.Mary went towards the bed. The boy turned his head and stared (注视) at her.“Who are you?” he whispered. “Are you a ghost?”“No,” Mary answered. “Are you a ghost?”He stared at her with his big eyes.“No,” he replied. “I am Colin. Colin Craven. Who are you?”“I am Mary Lennox. Mr Craven is my uncle.”“He’s my father,” said the boy.“Your father! I didn’t know that he had a son!” shouted Mary. “Why were you crying?”“I was sad and my head hurt.”“Did the servants (仆人) tell you about me?” asked Mary.“No, because they know that I don’t want to see people.”“Why not?”“People talk about me because I’m always ill. I don’t like it. My father doesn’t like it either. But I’m going to die. If I live, I’m probably going to be a hunchback(驼背的人) like him.”“Does your father come and see you?”“He doesn’t want to see me.”“Why not?” Mary asked again.“My mother died when I was born. He feels sad when he looks at me. I think he almost hates me.”“He hates the garden because she died,” said Mary, half speaking to herself.“What garden?” the boy asked.“Oh, just a garden she liked,” Mary said.Then she said quickly, “Do you always stay in bed?”“Yes. But a doctor from London said I must go out in the fresh air. I hate fresh air.”“Oh,” said Mary.Mary learned a lot about Colin. Mary began to understand that Colin was spoilt. His father gave him everything he asked for. And Colin never had to do anything if he didn’t want to doit.“Everyone has to do what I want,” Colin said. “I get ill if I’m angry.”—Taken from The Secret Garden 16.Which words can be used to describe Mary’s feelings after she woke up that night?

Today, Jadav’s forest is larger than the nearby national park. Though he has had little education, he knows a lot about the environment.Back in 1979, there was the worst summer in Assam. Floods (洪水) washed thousands of snakes out of their homes and they died from the heat. Jadav was very sad. He went to the villagers for help. The elders said that growing bamboo might help.As a little boy, Jadav began planting bamboo along the sandbar(沙堤). He spent his dạys on the plants. There was nobody helping him. No one was interested.It was not easy, but Jadav made it. He has grown a large forest the Molai Forest.He has created a forest alone for the wildlife in Assam, India. It’s home to thousands of trees and many animals like deer and elephants.“Everything we do makes a difference to the environment. If we plant more trees, we will solve the problem of global warming,” said Jadav.

Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door. Before she could climb down the ladder into the cellar, a great cyclone (龙卷风) picked up the house. It turned it round and round and round and then carried it high into the sky.It was not very dark. Dorothy felt as if she were riding through the sky. She held on to Toto and climbed under her bed, where she stayed for several hours. Then, although the house was still moving, she fell asleep.When she woke up, she did not know how much later, the house was on the ground. It was in a field full of flowers, and there were hundreds of beautifully colored birds flying about and singing. Not far away, there was a stream with clear, fresh water.Dorothy was still under her bed. She got up and left the house. She was surprised to see three little men and a little woman walking toward her. They were very strangely dressed. The men’s clothes were white and had little stars all over them.When they saw Dorothy, they walked up to her and bowed (鞠躬).“Welcome to the land of the Munchkins,” one of the little men said. “We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Now our people are free.”“I’m afraid you are making a mistake,” Dorothy said. “I didn’t kill any witch.”“Your house did,” one of the little men said. “Look!”He pointed to the house. Dorothy saw two feet sticking out from under it.“Oh!” Dorothy shouted. “The house fell on her. What can I do?”“There is nothing to do,” the little woman said. “The Wicked Witch of the East is dead, and the Munchkins are thankful to you.”“Are you a Munchkin?” Dorothy asked.“No, but I am their friend,” the little woman said. “I am the Witch of the North.?”From The Wonderful Wizard of Ozby L. Frank Baum Contents26.Which of the following words can best describe Dorothy?A.Kind but impatient.B.Brave and calm.C.Slow but organized.D.Smart and curious.27.Which chapter might this passage belong to?A.The Journey to the Great OzB.The Road through the ForestC.The CycloneD.The Land of the Munchkins28.What can we infer from the story?A.The land of the Munchkins must be a great place to live.B.Dorothy had to be a Munchkin because she killed their leader.C.The little man killed the Wicked Witch of the North by mistake.D.The Wicked Witch of the East used to control the land of the Munchkins.09When everyone was ready, Peter knocked on the door gently.The door opened slowly, and a lady came out. It was Wendy. The boys all took off their hats “Where am I?” Wendy asked.Of course, Slightly was the first to get a word in.“Wendy lady,’’ he said quickly, “we built this house for you.’’“Oh, please say you like it!” cried Nibs.“What a lovely, lovely house,” Wendy said. The boys were delighted. “We are your children.” said the twins.They all lowered their knees and held out their arms.“Oh, Wendy lady, please be our mother!” they cried in union.“I would love to,” said Wendy, “but you see I am only a little girl. I have no experience of being a mother.”“_______” said Peter. “We just need a nice motherly person.”“Oh, really?” Wendy said. “I think that is exactly what I am.’’“It is. It is!” they all cried.“Very well,” she said, “I will do my best. Come inside now you naughty children. I think there’s just enough time for me to finish the story of Cinderella before I put you to bed.”They went in, and that was the first of the many joyful evenings they had with Wendy. By and by she made them comfortable in the big bed in their home under the trees. But she herself slept that night in the little house. Peter kept watching outside with a sword(剑), because the pirates(海盗) could be heard drinking far away, and the wolves were going about for food. The little house looked very warm and safe in the darkness. After some time, Peter fell asleep, and all was still and quiet in the Neverland.(adapted from Peter Pan)29.Which of the following is the most suitable for the blank(空格)?A.It’s really a pity.B.It’s my pleasure.C.That doesn’t matter.D.I’m sorry to hear that.30.According to this passage, Peter is __________.A.polite and brave B.curious and creativeC.patient and practical D.modest and confident31.What can we learn from the passage?A.There was possible danger around the house.B.The children disliked the story told by Wendy.C.Peter fell asleep after he drove the pirates away.D.Wendy was unwilling to be the children’s mother.10Knowing that Mrs. Mallard suffered from a heart trouble, great care was taken to tell her as gently as possible the news of her husband’s death.It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences. Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too. He had been in the newspaper office when news of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed”. He had only taken the time to make sure of its truth by a second telegram, and hurried to send the sad message.She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same. She wept at once, with wild abandonment (抛弃), in her sister’s arms. When the storm of sadness had spent itself she went away to her room alone.There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable armchair. Into this she sank, tired from a physical exhaustion that held her body and seemed to reach into her soul.She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver (颤抖的, 兴奋的) with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves (屋檐).There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? It was too hard to name. But she felt it, coming out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the smells, the color that filled the air.Now her chest rose and fell violently. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was trying very hard to beat it back with her will. When she gave up trying, a little whispered word escaped her lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “free, free, free!”She did not stop to ask if it was extreme joy that held her. She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, gentle hands folded in death; the face that had never looked at her except with love, gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment many years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself.There would be no powerful will against hers.And yet she had loved him—sometimes. What did it matter! What could love count for in the face of her new freedom.“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole. “Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill.”“Go away. I am not making myself ill.”Her fancy (幻想) was running wild along those days ahead of her, all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shake that life might be long.She stood up after a long time and opened the door to her sister’s begging. She carried herself unknowingly like a goddess of Victory. She held her sister’s waist, and together they walked down the stairs.Someone was opening the front door with a key, It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained (风尘仆仆的), calmly carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one, He stood amazed at Josephine’s sharp cry; at Richards’ quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.When the doctors came, they said she had died of heart disease—of the joy that kills. 32.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 indicate?A.Mrs. Mallard decided to fight back when her husband beat her.B.Mrs. Mallard was trying hard to fight against her heart trouble.C.Mrs. Mallard was struggling with the guilty feeling of happiness.D.Mrs. Mallard was extremely sad because of her husband’s death.33.What can we infer about Mr. Mallard?A.He was killed in a railroad disaster.B.He survived the railroad accident.C.He was unaware of what was going on.D.He hurried back to comfort his wife.34.What can we learn from Paragraph 14 “Her fancy…. might be long”?A.Mrs. Mallard was more afraid of her future life. B.Mrs. Mallard missed her husband very much. C.Mrs. Mallard always thought life was hopeful. D.Mrs. Mallard used to think life was hopeless. 35.What really killed Mrs. Mallard?A.The joy of seeing her husband coming back alive. B.The shock of losing her coming freedom. C.The fear of seeing the ghost of her husband. D.The sadness of losing her husband suddenly.参考答案1.B2.D3.C4.B5.B【导语】本文选自《汤姆·索亚历险记》。

2014年全国各地名校中考英语模拟试汇编阅读理解——记叙文【浙江省杭州市西湖区2014中考英语一模】I made a decision on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical about husbands beings being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love .”To myself, I had to say that I had been a selfish husband . Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Mary at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”“Oh, Tom,you noticed,”she said,surprised and pleased. Maybe a little confused. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Mary suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Mary’s been alone here with the kid all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the each while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the company where I am a manager;a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that is how the whole vacation passed. I made a new decision to keep on remembering to choose love. There was on thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Mary and I still laugh about it today.

Just then five people showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children. "Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully."Yes," she said weakly and lowered her head.But when it came to descriptions of their problems, things got a little unclear. Two of the children had headaches, but I couldn't find any normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was hurting. The mother complained of a cough but seemedto work to produce it.Something was wrong, but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She replied, "Take your time; it's warm in here."I checked the form after the admitting clerk had finished her work with the family. Noaddress — they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.I looked out at the family standing by the Christmas tree. The youngest one was pointing at the television and shouting something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at the colorful Christmas tree.I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to pity for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency. We were all offered a free meal in the hospital dining hall on Christmas Day, so we prepared a big one for our Christmas guests. We needed presents, too. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and beyond the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four-year-old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today."38.

How did the writer and her workmates help the family?A. They offered a free meal to them.B. They bought some presents for them.C. They sent for a doctor for them.D.

It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher.I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.69.

She had to rely on freelance(自由撰稿) work for six months after Quality Weekly Magazine folded. The regular salary cheque had always seemed very small, but now it was like lost riches. She sent manyarticles to other magazines. Sometimes she struck it lucky and got a task. She once wrote a short article of a politician who appreciated her fair-minded approach and gave her some secret information. Her article was noticed by an editor in search of something sharp and fresh. And Nancy was getting a name for sharp comment. In this trade, she saw, you didn’t need so much to be up to date with things as ahead of them, lying in wait for circumstance, ready to jump.Then one day she walked into the offices of National Daily. It had taken her article and its editor had looked kindly upon her. Having handed over a piece on the latest educational theories she’d written, she fell into conversation with a woman she had known before. She learned that one of the paper’s regular columnists(专栏作家) had quitted the job. So Nancy made the necessary phone call to apply for the job.And then, the phone call came. She’d have a weekly column with her photograph next to it. There’d be a salary cheque, and perhaps fame and success to follow that. She realized that the job presented her with a wonderful opportunity.Later, when she was alone, Nancy thought that her appointment had probably been a piece of good fortune. However, she refused to allow the word “luck”. She must have got the job because she was good and experienced. What she never knew was that in fact the editor had been at the point of offering the column to another writer, Alex. When he was about to pick up the phone to call Alex, the colleague he most disliked walked into his office, and spoke with satisfaction of the possibility of closer association with this old friend of his. As soon as the colleague was out of the room, he reached for the phone, and rang Nancy.63. Why did Nancy spend a dangerous period?A. Because freelance work was difficult to do.B. Because she reported some secret information.C. Because her regular salary cheque was too small.D. Because she lost the job in Quality Weekly Magazine.64. Nancy thought the secret of success as a journalist was to _________.A. make positive commentsB. wait and grasp the chanceC. get along well with editorsD. keep up with the latest information65. In the last paragraph, the underlined part“this old friend of his” refers to _________.A. the colleagueB. the editorC. AlexD. Nancy66. What can we infer from the passage?A. The new job presented Nancy with pressure.B. Nancy got the job in National Daily by chance.C. Regular columnists are better than freelance writers.D.
