阅读理解专项训练（28）AI will always remember my mother’s last few days in this world.On February 14th, 2000, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. Whenwe returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got intothe office, I saw a police office. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officetold me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospitaland waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was takinga rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she eitherdied or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When m y t eacher took me o utside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone. Teresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.”　I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of myfamily were there. The silence was te rrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. Mymother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on theearth. I will always remember her as living. When s omeone is asked who their hero(英雄) is, they usually say someone f amous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me whomy hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a truehero.1. What did the headmaster tell the two teachers on the next day?A. Her mother had been very ill.B. Her mother had been dead.C. Her mother had gotten better.D. Her sister came to see her.BIt was reported today that in China, 56% o f people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there isa strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT(信息技术) bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒体） bloggers.When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and t hey took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Mediabloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems thatblogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to,or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.5. From the passage we know that________.A.56% of the Chinese write blogsB. people in US like to read blogs for newsC. the Chinese share feelings with each other mainly through blogsD. the way that Chinese use blogs is not different from the WestCMost musicians agree that the best violins were first made i n Italy．They were made i n Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago．These violins sound better than any others．They even sound better than violins made t oday．Violin makers and scientists try to make i nstruments like the old Italian violins．But they aren't the same．Musicians still prefer the old ones．No one really knows why these old Italian violins are so special, but many people think they have an answer．Some people think it is the age of the violins．They say that today's violins will alsosound wonderful someday．But there is a problem here．Not all old violins sound wonderful．Only those from Cremona are special．So age cannot be the answer．There must be something differentabout Cremona or those Italian violin makers．Other p eople think the secret to those violins is the wood．The wood of the violin is very important．It must be from certain kinds of trees．It must not be too young or too old．Perhaps the violin makers of Cremonas knew something special about wood for violins．But the kind of wood may not be so important．It may be more important to cut the woodin a special way．Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully．It has to be the right size and shape．The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin．Musicians sometimes thinkthat this was the secret of the Italians．Maybe they understood more than we do about how tocut the wood．Size and shape may not be the answer either．Scientists measured these old violins very carefully．They can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape．But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old one．Some s cientists think the secret may be the varnish, which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny．It also helps the sound of the instrument．No one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish（漆）．So no one can make the same varnish today．There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona．Their secret may be lost forever．Young musicians today hope this is not true．They need fine violins．But there aren't very many of the old violins left．Also, the old violins are very expensive．Recently, a famous old Italian violin was sold for about US $ 300,000!8．This passage is about ________．A．making violins B．musical instrumentsC．scientific ideas D．the old Italian violinsDMiss White was a smiling, young a nd beautiful lady. She was the new teacher of Steve’s class. At the first sight of the young teacher, Steve found that she was different from otherteachers. She was very kind and liked to smile to her students.Steve was a naughty boy, and all his classmates and his former teacher didn’t like himat all. After knowing his story, Miss White had a talk with Steve. She gave him a lot ofencouragement and said she believed that he must be a great person in the future. What the teacher said gave Steve much confidence, because he had never been attention before. So he decided tostudy hard from then on.The following Monday Steve arrived at school on time, and got ready for the weekly test.Miss White came in and immediately gave a quiz(测试) on the weekend homework. Steve was thefirst to hand in his paper. He worked out all the questions because he made a lot of effort onhis study those days. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his pa per and began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart beat very fast. Miss White’s face was in total shock! She looked up at Steve, then down, then up. Suddenly, her face broke into a smile. Thesmart boy had just passed the test! But before this time, he was always in trouble with teachers and never did his homework.From that moment, Steve discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!Steve became more excellent! And he continued this course throughout his school life.After high school Steve joined the Nav y(海军), and he had a successful military career.After leaving the Navy he became a professor in a college and continued to inspire and help others.

I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works. A young couple(夫妇) viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop （不停地） between themselves.

I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly. I was standing a t thecounter ofthe museum gift shop making a purchase when the couplecame near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get hiswife’s jacket. “He’s a brave man.”The clerk at the counter said,” Most of us would giveup if we were blinded at such a young age.

Shanghai MuseumB. Shanghai Art MuseumC. Lu Xun's MuseumD. Shanghai Natural History MuseumDThe culture of food and dining in the West is a little different from that in China. The proper western dinner at a fine restaurant is one of manners, focusing on conversation. You are expected to have knowledge of table manners such as what folk or knife to use, as these are essential in western dining. The meal would consist of several courses including a soup or salad, an appetizer, the main dish, and a dessert. The atmosphere (气氛) will be filled with light music that would only serve as background as people communicate with each other. The decorations are usually sparse (稀少) and are only meant to highlight (突出) the atmosphere that is being created by the music. This type of dining is different from the dining experience in most restaurants in China. However, with the increase in international ism (国际性), more restaurants are opening which reflect the more western dining style. The Chinese people, now more wealthy and knowledgeable (有知识的) about international customs, are beginning to join in this dining experience. This is not to say that people have given up the deep richness in culture that Chinese food represents. It only means that more choices and tastes are becoming available to population. This represents a significant improvement as it will change the perception (观念) that the height of western dining is fast food. As cultural communication expands, knowledge of western food will improve.( )1.The proper western dinner focuses on ________.A. atmosphereB. foodC. conversationD. music( )2.What is essential when eating a western meal?A.T able manners.B.

Every year water sports, especially surfing and water skiing attract 31 tourists to these islands.Hawaii has been a magical name to people who like to travel 32 many years. People on 33 sides of the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) in Japan and in America, dream of 34 these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. In the tropical(热带的) lands, the sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops so 35 that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the sky in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, enjoyable time walking along the water. This scenery is not very different from the e xciting beauty that greeted the first tourists to these islands centuries ago. They came in canoes not much 36 than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees(棕榈树) , but there were no grand hotels like 37 we see today.

Whenever四、阅读理解（20分）AI once heard my friend complain (抱怨) that he had met his English teacher many times in the street. Each time, he tried to wave and say “Hello” to him, but his teacher just pretended that he didn’t see him. I think it is mainly a culture di fference, not because he wanted to be unfriendly. Remember that English teachers come from different countries, and there are also differences even within one country, especially between small towns and large cities.For example, I am a southerner from the US, so I often smile or say hello to everyone I pass in the street. If I’m on the subway, in a store or at a bus stop, I’m going to have a c onversation with the people nearby. However, I don’t expect everyone to act the same way as I do.If a Japanese visits the place where I live, then hopefully he would understand that people aren’t rude just because they don’t bow to each other. Inste ad, people say “Sir” or “Madam” to show respect.So don’t take it personally when people don’t behave the same as you do. Keep smiling and saying hello, because that’ s one part of you and your culture, but remember that you are living among people from different parts of the world.( )41. What did the writer think of his friend’s English teacher’s behaviour?A. He was very rude.B. He should say “Hello” to his friend.C. He may not see his friend in the street.D. He did this because of his own culture. ( )42. Where does the writer come from?A. America.B. The UK.C. China.D. Japan.( )43. What will Japanese do to show their respect to others?A. Say “Sir” or “Madam”.B. Bow to them.C. Smile to them.D. Buy gifts for them.BBeing safe in your ev eryday life needs knowled ge.
