阅读理解。     It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was 
beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.       
     My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was
 only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I"m so glad I did.       
     On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself 
was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel
 to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.       
     On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn"t believe it ——there
 aren"t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, 
in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.       
     The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. 
The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. 
"She"s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, "my father said. At this point, my father moved our
 boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. 
With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up
 right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started
 heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay 
channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to
 breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean 
water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the
 distance.      
     In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for 
almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I 
still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. 1. The author says "I" m so glad I did. "( in Para. 2) because ________.      A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing     
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea       
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales       
D. he spent the weekend with his family 2. The harbour survived the storm owing to(由于) ________.       A. the shape of the harbour      
B. the arms of the bay       
C. the still water in the channel   
D. the long coast line 3. The mother whale failed to help her baby because ________.     A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long   
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough      
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help      
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction 4. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?      A. The author and his family helped the whales twice      
B. It is dangerous for the whales to stay too long in the bay.      
C. The whales could manage to escape on their own.       
D. Finally, the whales began to trust the author and his family. 5. What is the theme of the story?    A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.    
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.     
C. It"s necessary to live in harmony with animals.     
D. It"s vital to protect the environment.

   I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards
from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that
sort of career(职业).    
     I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn‘t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a
career.    
     I then found myself a job,  looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems
began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the
evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she’d give me time off the next. But
unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many
late nights and early mornings with the children.    
     One Sunday,I was in the park with the children,and met Megan who used to go to school with
me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification
(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn‘t think I would be accepted because I didn’t
take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful.
My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family,
and got work helping out at a kindergarten.    
     Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier
that you could have a career,even if you aren’t top of  the class at school.


1. When staying with the two girls‘ family,the author ________.   A. was paid for extra work    
B. often worked long hours  
C. got much help from her boss    
D. took a day off every other week 2. Why did the author leave her first job?   A. She found a full-time job.    
B. She was fed up with children.  
C. She decided to attend a part-time course.
D. She needed a rest after working extra hours..3. What has the author learned from her own experiences?   A. Less successful students can still have a career.  
B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.  
C. Hard work makes an excellent student.  
D. One must choose the job she like

阅读理解。     An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with
the pots across her neck.
     One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递送)
a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only
half-full.

      For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
      One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: "I am ashamed of myself because this
crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."
      The old woman smiled: "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the
other pot"s side? That"s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on
your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them."
      "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without
you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty."
       Each of us has our own cracks. But it"s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and
meaningful.1. How did the cracked pot feel about itself at first? A. Proud.          
B. Happy.          
C. Excited.          
D. Ashamed.2. Where were the flowers growing?A. On both sides of the path.              
B. In the woman"s house.

① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.
② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.
③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.
④ The woman found a crack on one pot.
⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.


A. ④⑤①③②                      
B. ⑤④③②①
C. ④③①②⑤             
D. ④⑤③①②4. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A. Never laugh at old women.
