题型:不详难度:来源:
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play. For Weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines .But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator"s(解说者的)part for the play ,and asked me to change roles. Though I didn"t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches." I think I am going to dig up all these weeds, "she said. "From now on, we"ll have only roses in this garden." "But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!" My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it? "she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too, "she added. When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a beautiful narrator, ”she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed. 1.The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because _______. A. she felt nervous on the stage. B. she lost her interest in that role. C. she preferred the role of the narrator D. she had difficulty memorizing her words 2.Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden? A. To remove the dandelions B. To enjoy the garden scene C. to have a talk with her daughter. D. to help her daughter with the play. 3.What is the main idea of the story? A. Everybody can find his or her own way to success. B. Everybody has his or her own value in the world. C. Everybody should learn to play different roles D. Everybody has some unforgettable memory. |

My Forever Valentine我永远的“情人” Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought 1 him as my “Valentine man”. My first recollection of the 2 he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 3 “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 4 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 5 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 6 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 7 not surpass (超越). 8 I grew older, the gifts gave 9 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 10__ chocolate and always included a 11 card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became 12 of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 13 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would 14 be there. I had 15 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 16 . His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 17 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a 18_ of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life. Those things never 19 , nor does the memory of a man who never 20 being my Valentine.

Tilly Smith, the 11-year-old British girl, who was called as “Angle of the Beach”, saved 100 tourists from a Thai beach hit by the tsunami① in 2004 and has been named Child of the Year by readers of a French children’s newspaper. She came ahead of a South African Aids orphan, a six-year-old girl who survived a kidnapping②and a young Parisian pop singer to win the Mon Quotidien award. Tilly had studied tsunamis with her geography teacher, Andrew Kearney, shortly before flying to Thailand for a holiday with her parents and younger sister last year. As she watched the waves suddenly begin to move back, and the sea was bubbling③, she warned her mother, Penny, that the beach was about to be struck by a tsunami. Mrs Smith and her husband, Colin, warned other holidaymakers and hotel staff and scores of people were cleared from Maikhao beach at Phuket. Tilly, now 11, and back in Thailand for anniversary commemorations④of the disaster, said: “It’s really good, just to know about tsunamis or any natural disaster in case you are in one. I’m very glad that I was able to say on the beach that a tsunami was coming. And I’m glad that they listened to me.” Tilly is unaware of her great popularity among French children. Her picture appears on the front page of Mon Quotidien, which is read by 10 to 14-year-olds. “Our readers chose Tilly because they could identify with her,” said Francois Dufour. “To be a pop star at 11 seems impossible, and the idea of having Aids or being kidnapped is far from their lives.” 1. The passage mainly wants to tell readers that ______. A. a little girl saved 100 tourists out of a tsunami B. British “Angle of the Beach” was named Child of the Year C. many people came for anniversary commemorations D. the tsunami was able to be avoided 2. The underlined words “Mon Quotidien” (in Paragraph 4) should be the name of ______. A. a magazine B. a book C. a novel D. a newspaper 3. Which of the following about Tilly Smith is TRUE? A. She could make full use of her knowledge from books. B. She was ever kidnapped by a pop singer. C. She visited Thailand by boat with her parents. D. She had expected to attract the French children. 4. According to the Tilly Smith’s knowledge, when there is a tsunami, ______. A. the sea water will not be clear B. the sea will be bubbling when moving back C. the sea water will make great noise D. the sea will be bubbling when moving forward |
