阅读理解。     As my dad unwrapped the new bicycle helmet (头盔) that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a
number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.
     Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have
potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets
in many places.
     Where I live, there has been a law in place since October l, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required
to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many
years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.
     One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a
nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness. When he was just awakening,
a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading
up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan revealed that he had a concussion(脑震荡). That evening, while my
dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.
     If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when
my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone
should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle. 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE? A. Young men needn"t wear helmets.
B. The writer"s father didn"t wear a helmet until the writer bought him one.
C. People don"t have to wear helmets on smooth surface roads.
D. Accidents do not happen to the best cyclists. 2. In the writer"s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets? A. Because a law requires them to do so.
B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.
C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.
D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them. 3. The underlined part "we both came to a shocking realization" in Paragraph means "____". A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet
B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet
C. we realized that young people needn"t wear helmets
D. only old people should wear helmets 4. From the accident that happened to the writer"s dad, we can infer that ____. A. the cyclists should follow the law
B. his dad was not worried about this accident
C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets
D. everyone should care about life

阅读理解。     The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I"d owned
was sold to pay debts that I didn"t even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my
parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I"d lost everything except my four teenage
children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy
to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
     Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a
day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the
red orange glow of the lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my
imagination!
     The next day, I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I
hadn"t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked
up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front
of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting
sold for $ 1500 before I even had time to frame it.
    The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins,
watched whales and hiked around the crater (火山口) edge of the volcano. We wake up every morning with
the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I"m
living freely and happily ever after. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A. the writer didn"t expect her marriage had ended in divorce
B. the writer"s parents encouraged her to divorce
C. the writer"s husband took away most of her property
D. there was something wrong with the writer"s nerves 2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The writer was sure she could survive in Hawaii.
B. The writer with her children met with many difficulties when they first arrived in Hawaii.
C. The writer had ever done paintings before.
D. The writer doubted if she could paint well at first. 3. The writer"s dream was to ____. A. live in nature with animals
B. live near volcanoes and oceans
C. become a successful painter
D. live a free life 4. The best title for this passage is "____". A. My broken marriage
B. My life after divorce
C. Adventures over 6 years
D. Hard life in Hawaii

     When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚),
and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare and I would be
ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.
    It was difficult to walk together-and because of that, we didn"t say much as we went along. But as we
started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to follow you."
     Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work even in
bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was
a matter of pride for him.
     When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help...Such times
my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N. Y., on a child"s sleigh to the subway entrance.
Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept
ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to
go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
    When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer
from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint.
     He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
     Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don"t
know exactly what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don"t have one myself.
     He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to
be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I
was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I com- plain about my troubles, when I am envious of another"s
good for-tune, when I don"t have a "good heart".

1. How did the man treat his father when he was young?

A. He helped his father happily.
B. He never helped his father.
C. He helped his father, but not very happily.
D. He only helped his father take a walk after supper.

2. As a disabled man, his father ____.

A. didn"t work very hard
B. didn"t go to work from time to time
C. hated those who had good fortune
D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope

3.What does the underlined word "reluctance" mean in the article? It means ____.

A. anger
B. sadness
C. happiness
D. unwillingness

4. How did the father get to work usually?

A. By subway.
B. By bus.
C. By wheelchair.
D. By bike.

Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States. "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn"t even send e-mail to each other." In three weeks Mr Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company"s 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. "Suleyman can see into the heart of the computer." Mr. Gokyigfi"s gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit. The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says. Much of the student programmer"s speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss. Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr. Braun.
1. According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman _____.
A. can work wonders on computer B. is the best technician in the world C. has done a hard job in three months D. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company
2. The underlined part "is at home with hardware" (paragraph 4) means _____.
A. is good at dealing with computer hardware B. is fond of computer hardware C. works with computer hardware at home D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware
3. Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of _____.
A. his blindness B. his attention on the synthesizer C. his long, thin fingers D. his ability not to be interrupted
4. Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of _____.
A. his blindness B. his attention on the synthesizer C. his long, thin fingers D. his ability not to be interrupted
