阅读理解。     Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5?30,and at 6?30 she was expected
to be chairing a meeting  of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly
racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.
    "Hey,Sheba," she said, "I"ve got no time for you now, but I"ll take you out as soon as I get back
from the tennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking.  Obviously, she
could hardly breathe.  Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医).
    When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr.
Sterne brought her quickly into his office.
    "Listen, doctor, I"m really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you,and go to get
changed? I"ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I"ll take her on to the meeting with
me. Is that OK?"
    "Sure." said the doctor.
    Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more
entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
    "This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of that house immediately,"
said the doctor"s voice. "I"m coming round to right away, and the police will be there any time
now. Wait outside!"
    At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house.  Two policemen got out
and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the
doctor arrived.
"Where"s Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne.
"She"s fine,Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her,and she"s OK now."
Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, carrying a whitefaced man, who could
hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
"My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?"
"I think he must be a burglar." said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally
removed what was stuck in Sheba"s throat, it turned out to be three human fingers."1. What was Joanne supposed to do at 6:30?A. To walk her dog.
B. To see her doctor.
C. To attend a club meeting.
D. To play tennis with her friends.2. Joanne wanted to get back to her home again ________.  A. to dress up for the meeting

完形填空     When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad"s office.
     "What are you doing home?" I asked _1_.
     "Andrew, I was   2   today,"he answered quietly.
     I was sure he was joking."No, you weren"t. Why are you really home?"
     Then I noticed his    3   and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard
worker and   4   himself on his career.  5   for our family has been his job, and I guess I had taken
his work  6  .
     My father"s unemployment created many changes in our life. For starters, he was home all the time,
   7   meant my bed had to be made, my room   8  , and my homework done right after school. I would
come home every day to find him at the computer   9   jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed,
though he tried to be  10  . For the first time, I saw my dad as the vulnerable(易受伤害的). I   11   my
allowance(零用钱), even though it wasn"t much; I felt like the right thing to do. I   12   found a parttime
job.
     After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He
    13  that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business.
One evening I asked if he needed help.
"  14   it doesn"t interfere (妨碍) with your study," he said.
    I   15    at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew
he was a hard worker, but watching him   16   really impacted me.    17   this was one of the worst
experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境). Now I know that
through   18   problemsolving, I can always find Plan B to ask for help, and take risks.   19   I have
learned from my dad"s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important
lessons in my life, and will be my   20    for success.

     Sitting across from a German couple and a Chinese mother and her child, we were waiting at
the Guilin airport for our delayed flight to Shanghai. In this last week of our travel study tour, my
husband and I were savoring this short break by reading.
    I tuned out the languages I couldn"t understand. But it was an American accent that pulled my
attention from my book. It also pulled the attention of three rows of people seated around us as
the American barked, "Coming through! Coming through!"
     At the same time, an oversized man pulling an oversized carryon passed our row. His wheeled
bag caught the German"s feet. Turning to see what snagged his luggage, the American yanked his
bag so hard that it crossed over the man"s feet. It was then that my horror struck. There was no
"I"m sorry", no "Excuse me" and no "Pardon me" coming from this countryman of mine.
    While this wasn"t the first or last incident where I sighted discourteous, illmannered and rude
Americans in China, each produced similar feelings. First, I was embarrassed that someone from
my country was creating a negative impression of Americans. My second reaction was a desire
to apologize. I wanted to explain to the Chinese woman and her child, the German couple next to
them, and everyone nearby that this was not typical American behavior. I wanted them to know
"we" were all not like that.
     I never got to explain, or to apologize. Language differences made that option impossible, and
rational thinking made it inappropriate. But it turned out not to be a need. The German man caught
my eyes with a bit of headshaking, smiling and eye rolling, which I returned, and it was clear that he
knew we were Americans and was expressing that there was "no need" to apologize for "universal
idiot behavior".
1. In the airport the author, and her husband ________.
A. were talking with a German couple          
B. were having a good time
C. were enjoying reading together              
D. were worrying about their flight
2. According to the author the man with an American accent was ________.
A. strong                
B. impolite            
C. humorous            
D. generous
3. The underlined word "snagged" (in Paragraph 3) means ________.
A. stopped              
B. covered            
C. touched              
D. pushed
4. Every time the author saw Americans" bad behavior in China she always felt ________.
A. uneasy and apologetic                      
B. scared and disappointed
C. proud and comfortable                      
D. nervous and miserable
5. From this passage we can know that the author comes from ________.
A. Germany              
B. China              
C. Japan                
D. America
     Christmas was just a week away and I had five people left to shop for but only three dollars.
     "Let"s set a price limit on our gifts this year,"I suggested to my best friend Joanie.
     "That"s a good idea," Joanie agreed. "How about something over five dollars?"
     "How about sixty cents?" I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world.
     "I guess this is where I"m supposed to say it"s not the gift but the thought that counts," Joanie smiled.
      It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents, so it was really going to have to be very
small gifts with very big thoughts.
      Finally, Christmas Day arrived. I gave my mother a candle with a note that said, "You are the
brightest light in my life." She almost cried when she read the note.
      Igave my brother a wooden ruler. On the back of it I had painted, "No brother in the world could
measure up to you." He gave me a bag of sugar and wrote on it, "You"re my sweet sister."
      For Joanie, I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said, "No one could ever fill your shoes. "She
thanked me and said I always tickled (使……高兴) her and made her laugh.
     To my other two friends, I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it, "I"m your biggest fan." I gave
Helen a calculator that cost one dollar and I painted a message on the back, "You can always count
on me."
      My mother knows she is the most important person in my life. My brother thinks I"m sweet. Joanie
thinks I"m funny and make her laugh, which is important because her dad moved away last year and she
misses him and is sad sometimes...

     The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people
from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the sisters: You take
care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love
can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand
as she said just the words "Thank you" and she died.
      I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was
in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself.
I would have said I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me
much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man
whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have
lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for," he said at
the end. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who
could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything.
Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I
was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to
     And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for
many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create
a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this
understanding love to bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in
our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry and I give him a plate
of rice or a piece of bread, I am satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut
out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so
full of hurt and so unbearable... And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the
beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.
1. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. The woman should have paid more attention to herself.
B. The man couldn"t blame anyone.
C. The author is religious.
D. The man died in the street.
2. The purpose of this passage is ________. 
A. to appeal for more donation for the poor
B. to call on the public to love each other
C. to tell the readers the poor are wonderful
D. to express how moved the author is to receive the prize
3. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?  
A. The author has few supporters.
B. The author was somewhat surprised at what the man said.
C. The author is delighted to help others in trouble.
D. The author may agree to solve social problems in soft ways.
4. What"s the best title of this passage? 
A. Have Sympathy for the Poor

D. Relieve Poverty

     Jennifer got off the bus from the university and began walking towards the flat she shared with two
other students. _1_ She picked up a wire basket and walked towards the back of the shop, where the
rice was kept. The shop was divided by three long aisles, with rows of shelves crammed with all sorts
of things. Except for her and Mr. Patel, the owner, there were only two other people there. They were
two teenage boys, and they were standing at the end of one of the aisles.
     She glanced at them as she passed. They were both wearing long, oldfashioned overcoats and they
looked rather ridiculous in them because the coats were too big. _2_ "Watch out, stupid," she heard
one of them whisper to the other. She walked on to the next aisle and found the rice she was looking
for.
     Then she heard something else. _3_ She peered through a gap in the shelf and caught a glimpse of
one of the boys bending down. She saw him pick up a tin of food. But instead of putting it in the
shopping basket, he dropped it into the inside pocket of his long overcoat. Jennifer glanced back down
the aisle. She could see Mr. Patel at the cash till, still checking through his list.
     _4_ The boys still had their backs to her. "Come on, let"s get out of here," she heard one of them
say. At the same time, she saw one of them put another tin in his overcoat pocket. They moved away
from her. She could no longer see what they were doing or hear what they were saying.
     When she got to the still, the two boys were in front of her. She watched them pay for the few things
they had in the basket. They had both buttoned their coats and fastened them with their belts. _5_ He
even smiled at them as they were about to leave. Jennifer opened her mouth to say something.
A. It sounded like a tin dropping on the floor.
B. But such things were popular with some teenagers at the time.
C. Then she looked through the gap in the shelf again.
D. On her way she had to buy some food and stopped in one of the shops in the street.
E. They were picking many things to their basket.
F. Mr. Patel was so friendly to his customers.
G. Mr. Patel did not seem suspicious at all.
