However，one autumn，things changed.It began witha tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers.One morning there was a knock on Paul's door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox.“I'm looking for a few days' work，”the builder said.“Are there any jobs here I could help with?” “Yes, ”answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder.“I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek(小溪).That's my brother's farm. That creek used to be a grass field, but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek.But I'll go him one better.See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two meters tall，so 1 won't need to see him anymore.” The builder said thoughtfully.“I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work.When he returned，the builder had just finished his job.Paul was shocked.Instead of a fence there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason, cameacross, and took Paul's hand.“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done，”said Jason. Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.

One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling______. A. relaxed B. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______. A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed C. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD3Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle.

The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant.

It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.If we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. 1. The teacher brought a glass of water to the class because_________. A. hewas very thirsty B. his arms were strongC. it was a good exampleD. he wants to share the water with students2. A glass of water in this passage referred to (指)_________.

A. more stressed B. much heavier C. more relaxed D. much happier4. This was a lesson about_____ A. how to relax oneself in life B. how to solve a physics problemC. how to keep fit by drinking waterD. how to study well5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. You could become heavier and heavier if you held a glass of water in your hand.B. All the students in the class knew what the weight of the glass of water exactly was.第9 页共57 页C. The teacher had a good way of making his lesson clear and easy to be understood. D.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased onlybecause someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1.According to Thomas Edison, what's genius?A.Hard thinking.B.Hard work.eful dreams.eful inventions.2.After exploring the secrets of nature, Edison always tried to .A.write down what he had learntB.carry out a new experimentC.make them useful in lifeD.share them with others3.Edison could not understand . A.how anybody enjoyed lifeB.how anybody loved workingC.why anybody loved thinkingD.why anybody was tired of life4.The last sentence in the passage means that . A.Edison was born to be a great inventor B.Edison was able to live another 100 years C.Edison was ready to make his 100 th invention D.life was too short for Edison to work for human beings答案：BCDD9I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1. The writer began to love her mother's desk ______.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her2.

The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land4. What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.5. What's the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me答案：CABDC10A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked atthe boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I'd love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you minddriving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It's for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He's really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said thesalesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don't sell a miracle here, child. I'm sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don't know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girl's hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor.

I heard a door open and shut at the back of the church. Quick footsteps hurried along the floor. A young man looked around briefly and then sat next to me. He folded his hands and placed them on his lap. His eyes were filled with tears. He began to sniffle.“I’m late,” he explained, though no explanation was necessary.After several eulogies (悼词), he asked, “Why do they keep calling Mary by the name of Margaret?”“Because, that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary, no one called her Mary.” I whispered.I wondered why this person couldn’t have sat on the other side of the church. Who was this stranger anyway?“Isn’t this the Lutheran Church?”“No, the Lutheran Church is across the street.”“Oh.”“I believe you’re at the wrong funeral, Sir.”The seriousness of the occasion mixed with the realization of the man’s mistake burst inside me and came out as laughter. I cupped my hands over my face, hoping it would not be noticed. Sharp looks from others only made the situation seem funnier. He was laughing too, as he glanced around, deciding it was too late to leave.“I do believe we’ll be the talk of the town,” he smiled.His name was Rick and, since he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong journey for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral, but was in the right place. A year after our meeting, we were married at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.1.How did the author’s mother pass away?考点16易A.She took her own life.B.She died in an accident.C.She died of old age.D.She died of a cancer.2.What does the underlined word “sniffle” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?考点16易A.Sob.B.Sneeze.plain.D.Yell.3.Whose funeral was the man supposed to attend?考点16易A.His mother’s.B.His teacher’s.C.His aunt’s.D.His wife’s.4.What is the main idea of the passage?考点16中难A.How much the author missed her mother.B.Why the man went to the wrong funeral.C.How the author came across her husband.D.Where the author’s wedding was held.B （考点16中难）After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles (障碍) and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a lett er from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

Her arrival at our classroom was always quick,**Good morning, everyone! Small but energetic, she would drop her things on the teacher's table, and move immediately to the blackboard, continuing the material of the last lesson as though we had all just left the room for five minutes. Our books would be out, and we would watch her closely.I’ve thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years. What was her special magic? There're two reasons and I think they're necessary for all excellent teachers. She loved her subject, and she loved us,in a patient and objective way. She had no favorites that I can remember, and she called us all by our first names pleasantly. She had a way of teaching that I loved.“Now we could go down this path, couldn't we? We could argue this, and then this, but that doesn't work because of this. No Can Do (NCD)!”She would put a big cross, and write “NCD” against what she had put down. “Right! Why not go down this new path?” And she would show us that this new way worked. It was fun, and her love for maths caught on. We all did well for her, the poor students as well as the skilled. I've never found maths difficult, and 1 put that skill down to her.In fourth and fifth years, we were divided into the science and arts streams, and Mrs. Lindsay taught us all no longer. But as the leaving Certificate exams were coming.one of my friends became nervous about how much math’s he didn't know. With great courage, he went to see Mrs. Lindsay, and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Math’s paper. “Of course!” she said, and did just that, after school，in her own time He passed what a good teacher!1. What was Clare Lindsay’s special magic? 考点16易A. She always talked with her students.B. She knew how to control her students.C. She had much knowledge of math’s.D.

He found that the math’s skill was difficult to learn.C. He thanked Mrs. Lindsay for teaching him the math’s skill.D. He hoped Mrs. Lindsay would teach him more math’s skills.3. Which of the following can best describe Clare Lindsay? 考点16易A. Enthusiastic and warm-hearted.B. Brave and patient.C. Energetic and strict.D. Generous and careful.D （考点16易）Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs. White.I don’t rememb er much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and find there were so many mistakes, but no red corrections, and always a star. Sometimes even a Good! This worried my mother, so one day when she went to meet Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never red-penciled my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors."The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, or forming sentences. I don't want to damage that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t." Mrs. White said.Later I knew that if Mrs. White had used her red pen often I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher to exercise such red-pen-restraint (限制). I used to misspell "beautiful" a lot, and never could quite remember that the "e" went before the "a". It annoyed my teacher in high school. If I was going to employ the word with suchlavishness (华丽丰富的语言) she figured the least I could do was spell it right. Eventually the e's and a's settled into their right hold as much as you mean sometimes.And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no worry about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t "Pretty".It’s "Beautiful".1.The underlined word "This" in the second paragraph refers to the factthat .考点16易A.I always made mistakes in my spellingB. Mrs. White often made wrong correctionsC. Mrs. White's attitude towards my mistakes was specialD. mother wanted to know how to improve my spellings2.From what Mrs. White said we can infer that .考点16易A. grammar and spelling should be paid more attention toB. children don't have the patience in spelling wordsC. children's interest of learning words is very importantD. red corrections are used to draw children's attention3.The writer may probably think his/her high school teacher .考点16易A. taught in the same way as Mrs. White had doneB. was not satisfied with his/her mistakes made in spellingC. should tell him/her how to improve words spellingD. paid much attention to teach students to use proper words第II卷（非选择题）（每题1.5分，共60分）（1）（考点中难）The Moon’s near side, the one we all see, has been the target of many robotic and human missions.
