举一反三

阅读理解。     It had been a very disheartening day. The doctors had given us the worst of news. Our daughter, who
had just completed her first brain surgery to remove a tumor and was going through radiation treatment,
was now officially given a two percent chance of survival as this type of cancer had no cure.
     My wife and I decided to take our daughter to lunch before continuing our afternoon conversation.
We went to a local restaurant where we sat in silence waiting for the waitress. I noticed a very elderly
couple sitting a few booths away, who were also in silence and did not speak a word. I couldn"t help but
wonder what challenges they had faced in their life and if they ever faced such terrible news about a child
of theirs.
     We eventually ordered our lunch and still sitting in silence we ate what we could. At some point I
became intrigued (好奇的) by the old couple. I thought to myself that they hadn"t yet spoken to each
other and I wondered if it was the peace they were enjoying or the food or maybe both. However, at
some point I lost interest and put my focus back on my lunch.
     Molly was still talking away and enjoying her meal. Her mom and I both listened and tried to be happy
in her presence but it wasn"t going very well. All of a sudden I saw a hand come out of nowhere. It was
huge and I could tell that it had been afflicted with arthritis (关节炎). I couldn"t take my eyes off that
hand. It landed on my daughter"s tiny six-year-old hand and as it did I looked up; it was the old woman
who had been sitting with the old man in silence eating their lunch.
     I looked into her eyes and she spoke, but not to me. She looked at my daughter and simply
whispered, "If I could do more for you I would…" and then she smiled and moved away to join her
husband, who had moved towards the door.
     "Look, a whole dollar," Molly spoke with excitement as she discovered a crumpled one dollar bill left
behind by the old lady. I looked up to thank her, but she was gone. I sat stunned, not sure what had just
happened and then I looked over at my wife. In almost unison, we broke out into a smile. The sadness of
the day had been wiped out by the crippled hand and generous touch of the old lady. The dollar, although exciting to Molly, was not what made us smile; it was the offer from the old lady, who felt our suffering.
The crippled hand symbolized a healing touch and made us realize that we did not have to fight this battle
alone. 1. According to the doctor, the author"s daughter _______.  A. suffered from serious heart disease.
B. didn"t need any more operations.
C. was likely to die soon.
D. had been treated by radiation.2. The author was ____, when he first caught sight of the old couple in the restaurant.   A. curious
B. confused
C. upset
D. indifferent3. By saying "If I could do more for you I would…", the old woman means_______.   A. she had the ability to cure the disease of Molly.
B. she had the responsibility for the safety of Molly.
C. she was an old friend of the author and can lend some money to them.
D. she would like to help Molly as much as possible.4. What can we inferred from the passage?    A. The author and his wife were not satisfied with the food in the restaurant.
B. The old couple had once gone through the same trouble as the author did.
C. The one dollar bill made the author feel touched by the warmth from others.
D. The old woman sympathized with Molly because she suffered from serious arthritis herself.5. What would be the best title of the text?    A. A girl with cancer
B. A touch of heaven
C. A crumpled dollar bill
D. A kind-hearted couple

阅读理解。     Oleksander Pylyshenko is either very fearless,very foolish… or both. The 40-year-old zookeeper
from the Ukraine recently spent five weeks in a cage with Katya, a 200-kilo African lioness. Why? Well
for a start, he wanted to raise awareness of the treatment of animals in captivity. Secondly, he hoped to
break the Guinness World Record for time spent living in a cage with a lion. And thirdly? "I wanted to
show my children what kind of man I am," said Oleksander.
     For 36 days, Oleksander and Katya shared the cage together. They ate hunks of meat thrown into
the cage by Oleksander"s wife, and slept side by side on a bed of hay. Oleksander did have a few more
creature comforts than his feline flatmate - he built himself a shower and toilet inside the enclosure. But he
didn"t use any soap as the sharp scent is upsetting to lions.
     And as if living with the king of the jungle wasn"t dangerous enough, Katya was also pregnant at the
time. She gave birth during Oleksander"s stay. Wild animals are very protective of their young but the
zookeeper said Katya trusted him completely. Oleksander" wife, Olena, was also very trusting. "when he
first told me about the plan I was very scared. But I decided to support my husband."
     Once the five weeks was up, Oleksander stepped out of the cage and declared the experiment a
success. He told a Russian news agency, "Katya taught me a lot about honesty and kindness." Also, a
representative from Guinness World Records confirmed that Oleksander ahd beaten the previous record
by three weeks.
     But the parting was also bittersweet. "Katya was very sad to see me go," Oleksander noted. Oleksander"s wife, on the other hand, was very happy to have her husband back. 1. Which is not the purpose of spending 5 weeks in cage with a lion according to Oleksander? A. He wanted to raise awareness of the treatment of animals in cage.
B. He hoped to break the Guinness World Record for time spent living in a cage with a lion.
C. He wanted to show his children his kindness as a man.
D. He wanted to earn money by taking the risk of living with a lion.2. What did Oleksander do in order to live more comfortably in the cage with a lion? A. He made a bed with soft pillow and warm quilt.
B. He equipped the enclosure with modern facilities, for example, a computer.
C. He put up a tent to protect himself from sun and rain.
D. He himself built a shower and toilet inside the enclosure.3. Why didn"t he use any soap when he took the shower? A. He didn"t use any soap for fear of annoying the lion.
B. He didn"t have any access to soap.
C. He didn"t like the smell of soap.
D. Soap was forbidden in the zoo.4. What"s Oleksander"s wife"s attitude toward his stay with a lion in a cage? A. indifferent

阅读理解。     On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling
down the windows to let in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she noticed a big bald man running through the parking lot. Before she came to realize what would happen, the man was there,
shouting through her window, "Get out!"
     Neilson refused.
     Pulling open her door, the man seized her by the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the
ground. She screamed, grabbing her purse and the keys.
     Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a break, heard the screams and began running .
     When they reached Neilson"s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver"s seat and was madly
searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker
fought back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no match for the two athletic men.
     Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office
to phone the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes-used to tie up newspapers.
     With his arms tied tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said coldly, "I hope you guys feel
good about yourselves-you just caught one of the most wanted men." They ignored him and waited for
the police. Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker (劫
车者)and suspected murderer, whose picture-but with a full head of hair-had been recently printed in
their own newspaper.
     Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a
different ending if those good people had not come to her aid. "Unfortunately," she said, "many people
would never have done what they did, and that is the real truth."1. The underlined word "bald" in Paragraph 1 most probably means     ．  A. strong
B. without hair
C. ugly
D. rude2. Please arrange the time order of the following events according to the passage.
a. Neilson was enjoying her lunch in the car.
b. A man robbed Neilson of her car.
c. The picture of the carjacker was printed in the local news paper.

B. The two reporters recognized the carjacker as soon as they saw him.
C. Reggie Miller is also a reporter of the local newspaper.
D. The carjacker was a suspected murderer the police had been searching for.4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Neilson considers herself lucky because she was not badly hurt.
B. Neilson doesn"t think many people will do the same as the three men.
C. Neilson thinks everyone will do the same as the three men.
