On the first day of college our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you can!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” “No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We instantly became friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk non-stop. I was always mesmerized(催眠) listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. At the year end, Rose finished the degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to pay their respects to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possible be. 小题1:Why did Rose go to college at her age?A.She wanted to marry a rich husband. | B.It was her dream to receive college education. | C.She wanted to change her present situation. | D.She wanted to get a Bachelor Degree. | 小题2:Which of the following can best describe Rose?A.Serious, helpful and hard-working. | B.Outgoing, humorous and determined. | C.Brave, warm-hearted and optimistic. | D.Rich, sensitive and graceful. | 小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that .A.Rose didn’t have any relatives when she died | B.Rose had lived a very hard life | C.the author was unwilling to understand Rose | D.the author learned a lot from his old friend Rose | 小题4:By writing the passage the author intends to .A.encourage old people to receive a good education | B.describe the author’s college life | C.introduce an admirable old college student | D.teach young people to value their school life |

One day I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroad where the stoplight had just turned red. A young couple, both blind, were walking across the road. Each of them had a white cane(手杖). They were overcoming the most feared blindness. I held my breath when I noticed that the couple was not walking on the crosswalk, but was instead stepping directly into the middle of the crossroad. Without realizing the danger they were in, they were walking right into the path of the oncoming cars. I was frightened for them because I didn’t know if the other drivers understood what was happening. Then I saw a miracle unfold before my eyes. Every car in every direction came to a stop at the same time. Nobody can yelled, “Get out of the way!” Amazed, I noticed that everyone’s attention was also fixed on the couple. Suddenly the driver to my right reacted. He yelled, “To your right.”Other people followed, shouting, “To your right!”Trusting their elite canes and the calls from some concerned citizens, they made it to the other side of the road. I could judge they had no idea what was really going on around them. Yet I immediately felt smiles appeared on everyone’s face. The driver to the left of me was saying, “I can’t believe it!” I thought all of us were deeply moved by what we had just seen. Here were human beings stepping outsides themselves for a while to help other people in deed. 小题1:When the author drove to work, he saw_________.A.some drivers were driving their cars very fast | B.a couple failed to cross the road as usual | C.most drivers drove in the same direction | D.A blind couple was walking into the driveway | 小题2:What does the underlined word “miracle” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Everybody told the blind couple to go to the right | B.The blind couple avoided many cars by themselves | C.The blind couple kept calm in danger | D.Every car stopped for the blind couple | 小题3:It can be inferred from the text that________.A.people felt a relief after the couple crossed the road | B.the author was amazed at the expressions on the couple’s faces | C.the couple’s quick crossing of the road surprised everyone | D.calls from everyone made the couple realize their danger |
