We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School. But there would be no 21 to success. Only those who worked hard would shine. Suddenly Mr. Rice 22 in mid-sentence and looked at me. “You know,” he said “you’re black!” Somehow, I knew he wasn’t trying to hurt me. Mr. Rice was no 23 teacher. I entered high school not even quite sure what debate was. I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater. Even today, I am not sure what 24 such a great teacher of him. He always said whatever he was thinking. And he was 25 . He would march out of the classroom 26 if he thought a student was giving less than his effort. The worse thing with us was to be taken no notice of. Instead, being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favorites. He wasn’t always 27 on us. I’ll never forget the National Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared. The only face I could make out in the audience was Mr. Rice’ s face. I could 28 I was doing terrible just by looking at him. After it was over, he came over to me. “Not my best 29 ,” I said. He shook his head, “No.” Then, to my surprise, he gave me a hug. Mr. Rice’s style didn’t make him a great teacher for everyone. Many kids 30 out of the debate class after the first year. But for me four years with him was my unforgettable experience. 21.

Big things were happening in my life the summer after I turned 13.

Dan was always around when I needed 小题15: on school or friends. Once I began to warm up to Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and took short trips. 小题16:, I discovered that I had the happy family that I had always wanted. I now realize my parents were 小题17: about getting the divorce. Their divorce was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness—he 小题18: and had another child, my half-sister, Michelle. At 13, I learned an important 小题19: —change is not always the worst thing that can 小题20: . Sometimes, it is just what we need the most.

Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other. But we were in serious trouble.The crew(船员)might not have noticed our disappearance.

(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A A priest(牧师) had a cat that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The priest persuaded, offered warm milk, et The kitty would not come down. The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the priest decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitty. He did so, checking his progress in the car frequently, then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent enough for him to reach the kitty. But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke. The tree went “boing!” and the kitty at once sailed through the air —out of sight. The priest felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen his kitty. Nobody had seen a lost kitty. So, he prayed, “God, I just give this kitty to your keeping,” and went on about his business. Several days later he was at the grocery store, meeting one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?” She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, you can keep it.” She told the priest, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. You won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A cat suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her.” 小题1:The priest drove his car to bend the tree in order to ________. A. get his kitty down from the tree B. persuade his kitty to come down offer the kitty some warm milk D. see if the rope was strong enough 小题2:The underlined sentence probably means that the priest _______. A. was happy he didn’t have to care for the kitty B. hoped his neighbors would look after his cat thought his kitty might be lost or killed D. didn’t want to see his kitty any more 小题3: Why was the priest amazed when he saw the woman had bought much cat food? A. Because he couldn’t imagine she had her own cat. B. Because the woman was his church member. Because he thought she would live on cat food. D. Because he knew clearly she didn’t like a cat. 小题4:Which may be the best title of this passage? A. A flying cat B. A lucky girl God sent her a cat D. An unlucky priest |
Anyone who works in an office knows the power of technology. When it works, life is wonderful. Information files across the world in seconds. It saves time and makes our jobs easier. But when technology goes wrong, everyone hates it. In March, Peter Golota received a gas bill for $0.00. He threw it away. In April, he received another bill for $0.00. He threw that one way, too. In May, the gas company sent him a letter which said he had to pay his gas bill. If he didn’t pay it, they were going to cut off his gas. He called and told them the bill was for $0.00. They said it was a computer error. But the bills continued. Finally, he sent a check for $0.00. This caused the bank’s computer to crash. After a lot of angry phone calls and the letters between the man, the gas company, and the bank, the case went to court. The gas company lost, and had to pay Peter Golota $8,000. It all happened because of a bill for $0.00. A man from Colorado appeared on the news when he shot his computer because it crashed all the time. The man, who owned a bar, put the “dead” laptop on the wall for everyone to see. The police said, “It’s the first time someone shot a computer because he was angry with it.” They arrested him. In December, Margaret Smart, of Energies Solutions, stood up in front of 2,000 people in Taxes. As she began to speak, her microphone stopped working. They found another one.
