阅读理解。 | I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat. I could see no call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead. Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town"s only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn"t even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door. | 1.

The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because____. | A. it was bad manners to overhear other"s phone calls B. the man didn"t notice his coming C. he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself down D. it was not safe to be close to the box | 5.

After having completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. Frequently we had lunch together. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred spirits. "He"s a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful, "Maybe you"re seeing him with your eyes." She was silent a moment and then added softly, "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her, "You"re quoting that! It"s from The Little Prince, SaintExupery"s book for children. One of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded, "I love it. I"ve read it so often, I"ve practically memorized it." Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book, because Jennie-more than anyone I know-possessed the gift of seeing with the heart. From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn"t that I didn"t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son. But my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life-things that must be shared to be fully appreciated. And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourthgrade problem child. One day I_was_at_my_wit"s__ end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded. "He"s probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy. Looking back, I had to admit that she taught me so much, such as how to love spring. One April day I said, "I hate rain!" And I"ll never forget what she said, "You can"t hate spring rain! It brings the flowers!" So I learned to love spring rain, too, because it did bring flowers-violets, tulips and daffodils. | 1. What does the underlined sentence "I was at my wit"s end" mean? | A. I didn"t know what to do next. B. I decided to give up. C. I was hurt by my son deeply. D. I was very proud of my son. | 2. We learn from the passage that the author ________. | A. has the gift of seeing with the heart B. likes spring rain because it seldom rains in spring C. had lost her mother before her marriage D. seldom praised her child in the past | 3. How does the author feel about her family? | A. No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things. B. She didn"t get along well with her husband and son. C. She seldom spoke to her mother. D. She felt quite alone in her family. | 4. The passage is mainly about ________. | A. how to educate children properly B. the fact that we should see nature differently C. the influence of friendship on our life D. how friendship begins and develops | 阅读理解 | Alex Taw, a 21yearold student from Wiltshire, England. He spent last summer like any other high school graduate-hanging out with friends, preparing for college, worrying about his university fees. While most of his peers gave up on their pipe dreams, he sat down with a notebook at home, and jotted down (草草记下) the question: How can I become a millionaire? The result was the Million Dollar Homepage. com. Alex"s initial investment was 50 pounds to buy web space and a domain (领域) name. He divided the blank homepage into one million pixels (电脑上的像点), 10,000 blocks of 100 pixels each. Each pixel was worth $ 1, minimum purchase: 100 pixels. Within a month Alex had earned some $ 37,000, enough for him to cover the entire cost of his forthcoming three years at university. In just a few months, he became a real millionaire. How did he come up with the idea of the Millionaire Dollar Home Page? "Well, I was trying to think of a way to make some money before I started university, as I was about to take on a huge debt and I was already overdrawn (透支). Swift action was necessary!" He said. He also added, "The important thing is that anything is possible-we are only limited by our imagination. I always had this belief that a good idea can be successful on its own. I think I"ve learnt that if we think deeper there are magical solutions hiding away for us to find." His personal philosophy around money is: Money is not everything, but it"s an essential part of the way we live. Having__some__removes__a__certain__amount__of__stress,__but,__unless_ _we__are__careful,__it__can__create__a__new__type__of__stress. He also said, "I still want to go to university. Aside from gaining knowledge about business, there are other reasons-exploring your interests, meeting new people, and being in a creative environment." Besides making contributions to society, he would try to encourage and inspire people to think of creative solutions to problems, whatever they are. | 1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT an important factor for being a millionaire? | A. Large imagination. B. Quick action. C. Great ambition. D. Great investment. | 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE? | A. Alex Taw is an American millionaire. B. Alex Taw will graduate from university. C. Alex Taw doesn"t work hard. D. Alex Taw was not rich before. | 3. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 mean? | A. The more money we have, the more stress we have. B. Money can be of great help. C. We should try our best to earn money. D. Money is helpful in some way, but we should make full use of it. | 4. What would be the best title for the passage? | A. Little Money Leads to Be a Millionaire B. The Success Road to Be a Millionaire C. Alex Taw: The Millionaire Boy D. The Million Dollar Homepage. com | 5. From the passage, we know that Alex Taw ________. | A. would like to help others B. would be a top student in university C. succeeded with the help of his parents D. invested a large amount of money on the Internet |
