阅读理解。     The cars were honking (鸣叫) on the road one morning as I was walking to the park. I walked on
and soon found the cause - a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on
the driver"s face as he tried to start the engine again and again - nothing happened. "No petrol," I said to
myself and then found myself getting angry. "Why doesn"t the fool move his taxi to the side?" I thought,
so did all the others who honked and shouted.
      He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt, who
watched the driver try to push it to the side. "Stupid guy!" I said. "Can"t he lend a helping hand?"
      I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂)
the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off.
      The taxi driver began mending his taxi. "Stupid passenger!" I said to him. "He didn"t help you!" The
taxi driver slowly got up. "Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and
walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"
       What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did
I help the poor man push his taxi? I"d done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved to solve the
problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, "Sir! Did you?"1. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park?      A. There was too much traffic in the street.

完形填空。     Two weeks before Christmas, Mother told me we were going to my grandmother"s house
for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town. They
had no electricity or running water and   1   what I considered the "good things" in life. They
  2   made no plans for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best
"I-mean-it" voice to   3  0 all the decorations from our tree. She packed those up  4   all
the trimmings(材料) for a  complete  turkey dinner.
     Christmas morning dawned perfectly with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of
snow.   5   I sulked(生气) silently in the backseat of the car as we made our   6   to grandma"s.
This was going to be the  7 Christmas ever! Grandma was  8    to see us as we walked up
to her door. "What on earth are you doing here?" she stammered(结巴)." We weren"t expecting
  9   . It"s Christmas, and I don"t even have a turkey to cook for you." "I knew  10   ." Mom said
as we set boxes of goodies on the kitchen table.    "That"s   11
12 we brought all with us." "We have a tree," Mom insisted. " Otherwise(否则), what will we
do with all these decorations?" Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom"s spirit. He called me to join him,
and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods. Soon the house smelled fresh and piney as
we decorated the tree, and the day take on a festive air. The turkey dinner was very good, too.
I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!
      Dessert was forgotten   13   Mom came out with the final surprise-a flaming pudding! "Merry
Christmas, mother," Mom said. "Dear me!" Grandma gasped(喘息). "I haven"t seen a flaming
pudding since I left England before I was married." Tears of   14   filled her eyes. I could not
hold the tears back,   15  . I knew then that Mom had also given me the best Christmas present
ever-she had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! "Nothing great was ever done without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste (浆糊) that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that tells you, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can"t!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn"t stop working on her experiments. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing the cello (大提琴). As the music flowed through his fingers, his shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As writer and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle (起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." Enthusiastic people also love what they do, not considering money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, long ago, told me, "I never made any money until I stopped working for it."" We can"t afford to waste tears on "might-have-been". We need to turn the tears into sweat (汗水)as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses finding pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.
1. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Enthusiasm is more important than experience. B. Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame C. Enthusiastic people will never get old D. Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.
2. We can infer that enthusiasm is more important for a person especially when __________.
A. he is in trouble B. he is getting old C. he can do what he love D. he has succeeded
3. The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______.
A. enthusiasm can make people feel young B. music can arouse people"s enthusiasm C. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy
4. How many examples are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six
5. Which proverb may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. A good beginning makes a good ending B. Don"t cry over the spoiled milk C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy D. Love me, love my dog

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, "What is that?" The son replied, "That is a crow." After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this?" The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It"s a crow." After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this?" This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It"s a crow, a crow." After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this?" This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, "IT IS A CROW". Are you not able to understand this?" A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn"t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave."
1. The writer mainly intends to ______.
A. tell us the function of a diary B. call on us to love our parents C. teach us what a crow is D. introduce a pair of son and father
2. The underlined word "affection" probably means______.
A. puzzlement B. hatred(恨) C. worry D. love
3. We can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of ______.
A. eighty B. three C. thirty-eight D. forty-five
4. The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because ______.
A. he forgot what had happened B. he would like his son to read it C. it could remind himself of the past D. he wanted to find what a crow was

A Gift of God One fine summer morning-it was the beginning of harvest, I remember-Mr. Earnshaw came down stairs, dressed for a journey; after he had told Joseph what was to be done during the day, he turned to Hindley and Cathy, and me-for I sat eating my porridge with them-and speaking to his son, he said: "Now, I"m going to Liverpool today. What shall I bring you? You may choose what you like; only small things, for I shall walk there and back; sixty miles each way, that is a long time!" Hindley named a fiddle (a kind of violin), and then he asked Miss Cathy. She was hardly six years old, but she could ride any horse in the stable. She chose a whip(鞭子).He did not forget me; for he had a kind heart, though he was rather serious sometimes. He promised to bring me a pocketful of apples and pears. Then he kissed his children good-bye and set off. The three days of his absence seemed a long while to us all. Mrs. Earnshaw expected him by supper-time on the third evening. She put off the meal hour after hour. There were no signs of his coming, however. About eleven o"clock the door opened and in stepped the master. He threw himself into a chair, laughing and groaning, and told them all to stand off, for he was nearly killed. He would never again have another such walk for whatever reasons. Opening his great coat, which he held bundled up in his arms, he said: "See here, wife. I was never so beaten with anything in my life. But you must take it as a gift of God though it"s as dark almost as if it came from the devil." We crowded round him. And over Miss Cathy"s head, I had a look at a dirty, ragged, black-haired child-big enough both to walk and talk-yet, when it was set on its feet, it only stared round, and repeated over and over again some strange words that nobody could understand. I was frightened, and Mrs. Earnshaw was ready to throw it out of doors. She did get angry, asking why he should have brought that gipsy child into the house when they had their own kids to feed and look after? What he meant to do with it? The master tried to explain the matter though he was really half dead with tiredness. All that I could make out, among her scolding, was a story of his seeing it starving, and homeless, and almost dumb (哑的) in the streets of Liverpool where he picked it up and inquired for its owner. But not a person knew to whom it belonged. He said that as both his money and time was limited, he thought it better to take it home with him at once than run into vain expenses there. Anyway he was determined he would not leave it as he found it. Well, finally Mrs. Earnshaw calmed down, and Mr. Earnshaw told me to wash it, give it clean things, and let it sleep with the children. Hindley and Cathy then began searching their father"s pockets for the presents he had promised them. But when Hindley drew out what had been a fiddle, crushed (压坏) to pieces in the great coat, he cried loudly. And Cathy, when she learned her father had lost her whip in attending on the stranger, showed her feeling by spitting at the gipsy child, earning herself a sound blow from Mr. Earnshaw to teach her cleaner manners. (Adapted from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte)
1. When did Mr. Earnshaw return home from Liverpool?
A. By supper time. B. An hour after the meal time. C. When it was getting dark. D. Not until it was nearly midnight.
2. Mr. Earnshaw brought the gipsy child back home for the following reasons except that ______ .
A. he couldn"t find the parents of the starving child. B. he found that the starving child was a dumb boy. C. he couldn"t afford to stay longer to look for the child"s parents. D. he couldn"t leave the starving child without anyone caring for it.
3. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. The title "A Gift of God" refers to something he bought in Liverpool. B. Cathy was very disappointed and she turned her anger at her father. C. Mrs. Earnshaw agreed to keep the gipsy child in spite of everything. D. Hindley was good-humoured even if he didn"t get his present.

Three years ago, I had a job in a retail store (零售店). I 1 to talk to everybody and know what was going on in their 2 . I remember a girl who started 3 there a few months after me.
