四、阅读理解(共25分,51~60每小题2分;61~65每小题1分)

阅读下面的短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

A

It was the school calling. Brandon seemed to be sick. I picked him up, called a doctor and he told me I should take Brandon to the Kaiser Clinic by the mall.

We had just moved here and I wasn’t familiar with the area. I didn’t know where the mall was. Finally, I found the mall, and then started to drive down the side streets. There it was, the Kaiser sign! “Thank you Lord,” I whispered.

We walked into the clinic. The doctor examined Brandon and then said, “You’ll need to drive Brandon to the hospital yourself. He needs surgery(手术) right away.” The nurse wrote out some directions. I have no sense of directions, so drawing me a map was useless. I started off not knowing where I was going.

There was no one on the streets. We pulled up(停车) to a stop light on the one-way street. An old car pulled up next to us. “We’re lost. Could you please help us find the hospital?” I said half crying.

“No problem. Just follow us,” the two strange men replied.

I had no choice but to follow them. After what seemed to be a long time and many turns, I could see the hospital sign. Even though we didn’t have our insurance cards yet the bill was completely paid by them and Brandon came through the surgery with flying colors. But they disappeared into the dark night without letting me know.

To this day, I’ve often wondered who those people were that came to our aid that late night years ago. To Brandon and me, they were angels to help us find our way.

On March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.

Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers’ door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.

Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force(强行) to open Anne’s case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.

Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen’s sometimes wild behaviour. Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.

As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear that she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.

In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe College, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. Anne remained at Helen’s side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled people’s rights until her death on Jun. 1,1968.

56. How did Anne come to work at the Kellers’ home?

A. She replied to a job advertisement.

B. She was introduced by her family friend.

C. She was recommended by her university professor.

D. She met Mr. Keller while studying at university.

57. What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met?

A. How intelligent Helen was.                                     B. Helen gave Anne a gift.

C. The way Helen’s parents treated her.                       D. How forceful Helen was.

58. According to the passage, Helen’s parents ________.

A. allowed her to do as she wished                              B. gave her too many gifts and sweets

C. did not spend much time with her                           D. cared little about her education

59. Which of the following is NOT true about Helen’s university studies?

A. She was greatly helped by Anne.                            

B. She was the best student in her class.

C. She was able to graduate in three years.                  

D. She was the first deaf and blind university graduate.

60. According to the passage, both Anne and Helen ________.

A. died in their 60s                                                     B. were well educated

C. came from rich families                                          D. fought for human rights

A famous American saying goes, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” This exactly is what a young girl from Connecticut decided to do.

Before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with a fast-growing type of cancer. Instead of a happy childhood, Alex’s life became a series of trips to the hospital. Over time, she met many children who, like herself, were going through painful chemotherapy treatments(化疗). This prompted Alex to come up with a plan to “make lemonade.”

At the age of four, Alex decided to raise money to fight against cancer. With her parents’ support, she started a neighborhood lemonade stand(摊位),charging 50 cents per cup.

At the end of the first month, Alex had raised over $2, 000 with more than one generous person paying $500 for a single cup of lemonade.

After moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Alex took part in experimental cancer treatment. She continued her fund-raising(筹款). Soon the news of Alex’s stand began to spread. More and more people joined her. Communities and schools began setting up their own “Alex’s lemonade stands”. People from around the world wrote to give encouragement and show gratitude to the brave little girl.

Sadly, on August 1, 2004, Alex lost her battle with cancer—but not before raising an amazing $700, 000! It was her privilege to present this amount to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Alex’s dream of raising $1 million was realized in November 2004, three months after her death.

“She believed that one little person can make a big difference,” said Alex’s father, Jay.

Though Alex died, lemonade stands continue to make a difference in the fight against cancer across America.

61. The underlined word “prompted” in the second paragraph has the similar meaning to “________”.

A. protected                        B. advised                         C. caused                   D. prevented

62. Alex started a neighborhood stand when he was only four because ________.

A. she wanted to make more money                            B. she wanted to raise money to help others

C. she wanted to enjoy a worldwide fame                    D. she wanted to enjoy something enjoyable

63. Why did more than one generous person pay $500 for a single cup of lemonade?

A. Because the lemonade was really tasty.

B. Because they thought it was interesting to see a little girl selling lemonade.

C. Because they wanted to help the sick children.

D. Because they wanted to help Alex’s parents to pay for the medical treatment.

64. According to the article, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Alex often went to hospitals after she was diagnosed with cancer.

B. The little girl turned her misfortune into a chance to help others.

C. Alex’s dream of raising $1 million came true three months after her death.

D. Alex failed to give $700, 000 to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

65. After reading the passage, what’s the meaning of “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”?

A. To make the most out of a bad situation.                 B. To squeeze the lemons to get lemonade.

C. To be happy with the lemons you get.                     D. To make money by selling lemonade.

Every Saturday morning, Helen Myers opens the door of the little library in Ellisville, Illinois. She raises the flag outside, sits down with a book and waits for people to come. “If I have two people come in, it’s a big crowd,” says Myers, 77.

The old lady has kept the library for more than 40 years in an old small building. It all began in June,1966, when Myers opened her library with 400 books from her home shelves. At that time, she took care of a boys community(社区) service group. “One of the boys noticed that I had a lot of books, and he said, ‘I wish we could have a library here in town.’” Myers remembers. That’s all she needed.

Today, people don’t read much. They watch TV and play video games. But that doesn’t stop Myers from opening her library every Saturday to share her love of books. The library has always been Myers favorite project. In the 1970s, when the old building was too dangerous to stay in, she began saving money for a new building.

She sells homemade cookies, and the money pays the bills for the library. As the news about the country’s smallest library spreads, donations(捐赠) began coming in. With the donations and her own savings, Myers built Ellisville Library Ⅱ, which opened in October,2003. The new library has 3, 500 donated books, new and used.

Many times, Myers opens and closes the library and sees no one. My daughter said, “Mom, why don’t you give up?” Myers says, “I said, ‘No, somebody, some day, may read. Who knows. A future president of the United States may come in and get a book.’”

76. The library opens ________________________.

九、书面表达

One possible version:

Recently, 200 students took part in a survey to see whether they would help a person who fell down on the street.

According to the survey, 20% of the students said they would because it’s one of our Chinese traditional virtues. They believe it’s their duty to help people in trouble. However, half of the students said they wouldn’t offer help, because they don’t want to get into trouble. But they would call 120 for help instead. And 30% of the students said it was hard to say. It all depends.

In my opinion, I would help a person who fell down on the street, especially an elder person. As we all know, helping each other is the right thing to do. Maybe you need a help one day and a simple act of caring creates an endless ripple.

听下面一段材料,回答第18至第20题。

Different colors make the world so colorful. But do you know if a color has a weight? Let’s do a small experiment.

First, find two objects that are exactly the same. Then paint them in different colors. One is black, the other is white. OK, now, let’s look at them one by one. It’s certain that you will think the black one is a little heavier.

Why do you think so? A scientist in England found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind by doing many different kinds of tests. The result tells us that darker colors look heavier than lighter ones. Red looks the heaviest, then blue, green, orange, yellow, and white is the lightest.

The result means the same for our rooms. If you paint the wall, please put lighter colors on top, or it will make you feel uncomfortable. Red makes people excited. Red in living room or dinning room can make people start conversations easily, while red in bedroom can cause difficulty with sleeping. Green is one of the most comfortable colors, which is why it is so popular for kitchens and sitting rooms.
