举一反三
| 阅读理解。 | I closed my eyes as tight as they could go.
The lights went off, and I unbolted the door of memory. I remember driving home by myself for
the first time. I looked into the future and imagined that I was walking on the stage to receive my college
diploma. I looked at the bleachers packed with families and friends. I saw my parents smile with pride,
and I looked to their side for Katie and Kevin"s approval. But Katie, my elder sister, was not there. I
cou7ld hold back my tears.
I suddenly opened my eyes and returned to reality. I remember being called out of Spanish class in
the tenth grade and taken to the hospital to see Katie, who was dying of cancer. Katie"s room was
exactly the way she had left it on a Friday night in September, 1993,when she was got into the ambulance. She died just a few weeks in her freshman year at the University of Miami.
When Katie was six years old, she declared herself old enough to take care of her little sister and
brother, because she wanted to lighten our mother"s burden. Katie would always do up my hair and
go shopping with me. She would always tutor Kevin and buy him ice cream as a reward for his hard
work. Clearly, Katie was more than our elder sister.
A diploma is placed in my hand . "I do !" I cry. Katie said she loved me and hugged me tight on a
September afternoon in 1993. just before I step up my college auditorium stage, I look at the spectators
in the bleachers and see mother, father and Kevin. Katie is sitting right beside them , cheering me on. | | 1. What does the underlined word"unbolted mean? | A. Opened

B. on a Friday night in September, 1993
C. when the author was about to finish high school
D. when the author was studying in the classroom | | 4. What can we know from the passage? | A.The author didn"t get enough care from her parents.
B. The author feels guilty because she can"t repay Katie.
C. Katie acted as the author"s mother as well as her elder sister.
D. There are four members in the author"s family including Katie | | 5. In the last paragraph the author intends to ___? | A tell us she finally graduated from college

D. express her deep feeling of missing and appreciating Katie. | | 阅读理解 | As Mrs Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the
children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named
Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children, that his clothes
were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making
bold Xs and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.
Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
neatly and has good manners… He is joy to be around."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates,
but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote."His mother"s death has been hard on him.He tries to do his best but
his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken."
Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in study.
He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.Teddy"s present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough
brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts, a shine stone bracelet with
stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laugh!"What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
lovely perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.
Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, "Today you smiled just like my Mom
used to."His teacher cried all right, and from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing, and
arithmetic and began to teach children instead.

of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone"s heart-we
all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻) or neglect.
Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film
set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world
changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not - kind, handsome and desirable. Mary
and Joey"s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush
back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl
of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked (邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique
Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does
everything she can to make sure Mary doesn"t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are
equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy
tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors
are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar
movies.
"The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point," writes movie critic Amber
Wilkinson. "The focus is firmly on following your dream." | | 1. The first paragraph is mainly to _________. | A. build interest and lead us to Mary"s secret dream
B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years
C. inform us of the main topic of the whole passage
D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is | | 2. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who ________. | A. is brave in expressing her love
B. is attended badly by the stepmother
C. has a dream of meeting a prince
D. is embarrassed by the pop singer | | 3. What can we infer from the passage? | A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary"s class.
B. Mary"s mother influences her a lot in singing.
C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary. | | 4. The passage is mainly _________. | A. an introduction to a film
B. a review about a film
C. an essay about dreams
D. an advertisement of Cinderella | | 5. According to the passage, Another Cinderella Story __________. | A. follows Cinderella with nothing new
B. pays more attention to the looks of the actors
C. encourages young people to follow their dreams
D. focuses more on materialism than other films | 最新试题
