阅读理解。     It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were
warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away
from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After
putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
     The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in
60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from
having to walk long distances from where we live.
     I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our
story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought
a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his
job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never
met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers
are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our
faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with
others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results
can be everlasting. 1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. They used it for work and daily life.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. The man"s job was bike racing. 2.What does the underlined phrase mean?A. go very far to see someone
B. walk out on foot to greet someone
C. help someone with one"s best
D. enjoy the moment with someone3.We can infer from the text that ________. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family 4. How did people get to know the couple"s problem? A. From a stranger.
B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.
D. From radio broadcasts. 5.What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

阅读理解。     Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn"t include her when
she told me that if I didn"t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn"t give me
any presents.
     But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I
thought.
     I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his baby was
found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who had accompanied him in the
ambulance. She"d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history.
"Has he lost any weight recently?" I asked, "Well, it"s funny you should mention that, but yes. "She said
slowly. There was silence for a few moments." Why? What are you worried about?" she asked, I
hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. "Well,
we need to prove it"s not cancer. " I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.
     Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon"s daughter broke down－she said you told her
he had cancer. " My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there,
explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.
I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr.
McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and
bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her. " I said, hanging my head. "And give
her more to worry about?" replied my consultant. "You don"t say the word "cancer" until it"s confirmed.
Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people. "
     As it turned out, it wasn"t cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about
their loved one they"re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it"s important to be
mindful of this. In being truthful, I"d made the situation worse.1. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author_________. A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship
B. was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C. regarded honesty as the best policy
D. had an unhealthy eating habit 2. The author"s consultant was angry with him because _________.A. he told the daughter what he suspected.
B. he delayed running the necessary tests.
C. he failed to confirm the parent"s disease.
D. he forgot what the consultant had advised.3. The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para. 4) because he was feeling_________. A. guilty
B. hurt
C. disappointed
D. helpless4.What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?A. Learning from parents is necessary.
B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.
C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.
D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.

阅读理解。     Bobby Moresco grew up in New York"s Hell"s Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on
Manhattan"s West Side. But Hell"s Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights
attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could
admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking
acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction
worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.
      Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the
cattle calls-and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. "I wasn"t a good actor, but I had
a driving need to do something different with my life," he says.
He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒吧服务员). "My father
said, "Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter." "But Moresco kept working at his
chosen craft.
      Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved
back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of
Hell"s Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother"s killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway
theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
       His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was
again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.
     Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis
kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the
upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary.
     Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It
was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three-Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell"s Kitchen.
      At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. "If you have something you want to do in
life, don"t think about the problems," he says, "think about other ways to get it done." 1. Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:
a. His work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theater
b. Unexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.
c. He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.
d. He started learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different.
e. His younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.A. d; c; e; a; b
B. d; e; c; b; a
C. c; d; e; a; b
D. c; e; d; b; a  2. Why Bobby Moresco did not tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?A. He wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.
B. His girlfriend did not allow him to do this.
C. He was afraid of being laughed at.
D. He had no talent for acting.3. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. His father did not support his work as a bartender.
B. Before he became an overnight success, his life experienced ups and downs.
C. His brother"s death inspired his writing Half-Deserted Streets.
D. Moresco grew up in New York"s Hell"s Kitchen which is a few blocks east of Broadway.4. The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because ______________.A. they thought the script would not be popular.
B. the script was not well written.
C. they had no money to make the film based on the script.
D. they thought Moresco was not famous.5. What"s the best title of the article?A. The Road to Success
B. Try It a Different Way
C. A Talented man-Moresco
D. Moresco"s Perseverance 6. Which of the following can best describe Bobby Moresco?A. initiative (主动) and persistent

阅读理解。     After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept
the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to
him, so I agreed.
     During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular
dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five,
and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me
because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my
dreams.
     I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, "Why me?" He spoke
about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about.
He didn"t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about
his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him
he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He
looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, "You are a champion. You
earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you."
     Last summer I received a letter from Matthew"s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away.
They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Dick,
     My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to
let you know that the doctors tell me that I don"t have long to live any more, but I still smile as
much as I can.
     I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I
will never get to do that. However, I know I"m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get
to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you
for loving me.
                                                                                                                     Your friend,
                                                                                                                        Matthew1. The boy looked forward to meeting the author because _________.  A. he was also good at weight lifting
B. he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medal
C. he was one of the author"s students
D. he admired the author very much2. From the passage we learn that _________.  A. Matthew was an athlete
B. Matthew was an optimistic and determined boy
C. The author used to have the same disease as Matthew had
D. Matthew became a champion before he died 3. Matthew didn"t accept the author"s medal because _________.A. he thought it was too expensive
B. he was sure that he could win one in the future
C. he thought it was of no use to him as he would die soon
D. he would not be pitied by others4. What would be the best title for this passage?  A. A sick boy.

阅读理解。

     Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked
in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there,
blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower"s place, so that
there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.
     Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans
that he"d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or
filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled,
feeling proud of having such a friend.
     The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had
hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and
nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true
friendship.
    In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or
flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see
him then.
     "There"s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts." The Miller said to his wife, "When
people are in trouble they shouldn"t be bothered. So I"ll wait till the spring comes when he"s happy to give me flowers."
     "You"re certainly very thoughtful," answered his wife, "It"s quite a treat to hear you talk abou
t friendship."
     "Couldn"t we ask Hans up here?" said their son. "I"ll give him half my meal, and show him my white
rabbits."
    "How silly you are!" cried the Miller. "I really don"t know what"s the use of sending you to school. If
Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious,
and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody"s nature. I am his best friend, and I"ll always
watch over him, and see that he"s not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask
me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn"t be confused. The
words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that." He looked seriously
at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into
his tears.
     Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. "Hans, friendship
never forgets. I"m afraid you don"t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!"
     Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard
time of the winter.
    "I"ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship." said the Miller. "And
now, as I"ll give you many good things, I"m sure you"d like to give me some flowers in return. Here"s the
basket, and fill it quite full."
     Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller"s
basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.
    The next day he heard the Miller calling: "Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to
market?"
     "I"m sorry, but I am really very busy today."
     "Well," said the Miller, "considering that I"m going to give you my things, it"s rather unfriendly of you
to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn"t mind my speaking quite plainly to you."
     Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry
and wasted.
     One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.
    "Hans," cried the Miller, "My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I"m going for the
Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it"s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can
go instead of me. You know I"m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me
in return."
     "Certainly," cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the
Miller"s house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a
deep pool, drowned.
     At Hans" funeral, the Miller said, "I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the procession."
Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

1. From the passage, we can learn that Hans ___________. A. was extremely wise and noble
B. was highly valued by the Miller
C. admired the Miller very much
D. had a strong desire for fortune2. "Flour is one thing, and friendship is another" can be understood as _________. A. "Different words may mean quite different things."
B. "Interest is permanent while friendship is flexible."
C. "I"m afraid you don"t understand the poetry of life."
D. "I think being generous is the base of friendship."3. From the Miller"s talk at home, we can see he was _________. A. serious but kind
B. helpful and generous
C. caring but strict
D. selfish and cold-hearted4. What"s the main cause of Hans" tragedy?A. True friendship between them.
B. A lack of formal education.
C. A sudden change of weather.
D. Blind devotion to a friend. 5. The author described the Miller"s behavior in order to ___________. A. entertain the readers with an incredible joking tale
B. show the friendship between Hans and the Miller
C. warn the readers about the danger of a false friend
D. persuade people to be as intelligent as the Miller
