A boy and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly the boy fell, hurt himself, and cried, “AAAhhhhhhhh!!!” To his surprise, he heard the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain, “AAAhhhhhhhh!!!” Then the boy cried again, “Who are you?” He received the answer “Who are you?” He thought someone else in the mountain was making fun of him, so he got angry and shouted “Foolish!” He received the answer “Foolish!”
He looked at his father and asked, “What’s going on?” The father smiled and said, “My son, listen.” And then he shouted to the mountain, “I love you!” The voice answered, “I l

ove you!” Again the man cried, “You’re the best!” The voice answered, “You’re the best!”

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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。
It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five - year - old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well - being.
But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he’d come to get his clothes and wouldn"t be back. We’d been having trouble, but the finality of that note still came as a shock. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs in expectation of interviewing for a teaching position. I was embarrassed, scared, and angry and felt I had failed.
But I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. I used my routine to keep me moving. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back.
And in the seven years since, I"ve continued moving forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master" s degree in education. I certainly would never have chosen to put them through this, but I"m glad it happened to me when looking back. It helped me find my voice and myself a lot sooner. It helped me grow independent, confident, and strong—things I" m hopefully developing gradually now in my child.

I"ve tried to explain compound interest to my eight - year - old daughter. When I have finished it, she summarizes back to me, "So, you are saying if I put $ 100 in the bank, when I turn sixteen the bank will give me $ 200?" She has already grasped more of the concept than I understood at her age, but she couldn"t clearly understand that until she sees them in action.
One day I gave her a Ziploc bag with a handful of pennies and told her over the course of a week I wanted her to give me a penny a day. I would deposit the penny in " The Bank of Dad" and compound interest would begin to accumulate the day she deposited the penny. At the end of the week we would check her bank balance.
Each day my daughter handed over one penny at the breakfast table and I deposited it in her bank. I gave her a "receipt" for her deposit and explained that she needed to keep up with the receipts to see how much money she had added to her account. In an effort to make this a little more realistic, I deposited a penny from my own piggy bank every other day to give her an additional four pennies at the end of the week.
On Sunday evening we gathered receipts and confirmed she had deposited seven pennies in "The Bank of Dad. " Then I opened the old film container and counted out its contents—all eleven pennies. "Hey, there are four extra pennies in there!" I explained that her original seven pennies had grown to eleven pennies because every couple days the bank paid her a penny for letting them use her money—that"s interest. She paused and asked, "Dad, what would happen if you deposited like a hundred million pennies in the bank?
1．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ____.
A．the writer" s daughter understood compound interest better than him
B．the writer wanted her daughter to understand compound interest
C．the writer" s daughter understood compound interest very well

A．The writer" s daughter got a handful of pennies from her father.
B．The writer got compound pennies from "The Bank of Dad".
C．The writer placed one penny in "The Bank of Dad" each day.
D．Compound interest would begin to increase at the end of the week.
3．Each day the writer’s daughter ____.
A．got a penny from her father B．received interest from her father
C．deposited a penny in her piggy bank D．handed over one penny to her father
4．What can

we infer from the passage?
A．"The Bank of Dad" paid the girl a penny each day as interest.
B．The father used a good way to show his daughter about interest.
C．There were eleven pennies in the old film container in total.

Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents．By banning all fast-food restaurants and discount stores，they take away all the places kids can afford to shop．
These people forget that when they were young，they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice．cream soda for 25 cents．Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2 1 Where can kids go for a snack?
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100．Add a 15％tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12．Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
Fast．food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job．Fast-food restaurants are the busiest during the

early supper hours when students are able to work , whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires

working shifts that are too late for most

students. The City Council claims that local merchants，rather than national chains，should benefit from the tourist business．I agree that it is important to support local businesses，but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham．
Another thing is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store．If I need a tire for my bike，I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy th

e same kind of tire for $9．Again，I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city．

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定 )as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there in and out glancing at one piece reading another article all the way through , reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性 ) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的 ) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper . For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
1. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its______.
A. wide coverage B. uniform style

A. people scan for the news they are interested in

3. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ______.
A. apply reading techniques skillfully
B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D. usually read a newspaper selectively
4.A good newspaper offers “ a variety” to readers because____.
