阅读理解。                                                                  Mickey"s Goal
     Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son"s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score
was two to one, my son" s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
     With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son"s teammate, Mickey
O"Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it
everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O"Donnel had scored!
    Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For
a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (综合征) and for him there is no
such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known
to hug the opposing players when they scored.
     The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted,
"I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my
son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the
classic high-five salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both
teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
     Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie. Everybody
won." 1. What was the result of the soccer match? A. Two to two, equal to both the teams.
B. Three to one in Mickey"s team"s favor.
C. Two to one in the opposite team"s favor.
D. Nobody won because of Mickey"s goal. 2. What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?A. The result would disappoint his son.
B. His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.
C. Mickey would again hug the opposing players.
D. The opposite team would laugh at Mickey"s goal. 3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A. both teams liked and respected Mickey
B. both teams were thankful to Mickey"s goal
C. Mickey didn"t mind though his goal was wrong
D. Mickey was a kind-hearted boy and hoped everybody won 4. The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ____. A. to tell a joke to make readers laugh
B. to suggest we should not mind losing
C. to show enjoying a game is more important than winning a game
D. to present his son"s fine qualities of understanding others

阅读理解。                                                       My Garden by Nelson Mandela
    In early 1977, the authorities (当局) announced the physical labour and arranged some kind of work for
us to do in the courtyard. The free time also allowed me to hunt what became two of my favorite hobbies in
Robben Island-gardening and tennis.
     To survive in prison, one must develop ways to take satisfaction in one"s daily life. One can feel fulfilled
(充实) by washing one"s clothes so that they are particularly clean. Just as one takes pride in important tasks
outside of prison, one can find the same pride in doing small things inside prison.
     Almost from the beginning of my sentence on Robben Island, I asked the authorities for permission to
start a garden in the courtyard For years, they refused without offering a reason But finally they gave in, and
we were able to cut out a small garden on a narrow patch of earth against the far wall.
     The soil in the courtyard was dry and rocky. In order to start my garden, I had to remove a great many
rocks to allow the plant room to grow.
     The authorities supplied me with seeds. At first, I planned tomatoes and onions, because these plants did
not require rich earth or constant care. The early harvests were poor, but they soon improved.
     I began to order books on gardening. I studied different gardening techniques and types of fertilizers (肥
料). I did not have many of the materials the book discussed, but I learned by trial and error (反复实验). For
a time, I tried to grow peanuts, and used different soils and fertilizers, but finally I gave up. It was one of my
few failures.
     A garden was one of the few things in prison that one could control. The process of planting a seed,
watching it grow, taking care of it and then harvesting it offered a simple but long-lasting satisfaction. The
sense of being the owner of the small patch of earth offered a small taste of freedom. 1. Mandela"s hobbies on Robben Island were ____. A. hunting and physical labour
B. gardening and tennis
C. washing his clothes
D. gardening techniques and types of fertilizers 2. When did Mandela ask the prison authorities for the permission to start a small garden? A. Soon after 1997.
B. Some time in early 1977.
C. Almost as soon as he went to prison there.
D. Long after he went to prison there. 3. Why did Mandela wash his clothes especially clean although he was in prison? A. To show he could do it as well as others.
B. To get some sense of pride and satisfaction from it.
C. To show others that he preferred to be clean.
D. To gain the authorities" permission to start a garden.4. Hard as he tried, he failed ____ at last. A. to order books on gardening
B. to grow tomatoes and onions
C. to grow peanuts
D. to get the same pride inside prison.

完形填空。

     When I was 14, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions (征订) to my hometown paper,
the Houston Post. I was sent to some of the city"s worst neighborhoods to "beg" door-to-door. Even though
I was often scrambling around after dark in bad areas   1 for garage apartments, I was   2 for the work.
     It was a   3   because people didn"t like a stranger knocking on their door,   4   a kid trying to get them,
to buy something. One time, a man shut his door heavily in my face and   5 , "I don"t want your dawn paper!"
I   6   myself to knock again and was able to tell him how   7   the paper was. I ended up selling him a
subscription. I was soon among the   8   subscription sellers and, like other successful   9 , was given the
chance to train newcomers.

manager. He  18  me to back off, but I refused.
     Having all those doors shut in my face as a kid gave me the  19  to stand up to this frightening figure.
Except this time there was one  20 : I was the one saying no. And I won.

阅读理解。

     Ann was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.
     At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to
go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn"t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all
her luggage, but she couldn"t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!
     Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she
would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and
some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food;
she"d just have breakfast each day. That was all right, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
     For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath.
When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn"t well. In fact, her holiday wasn"t
bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper
isn"t very much.
     Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel
restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, "But didn"t
you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!"

1. "A package trip" probably means ____.

A. a free trip
B. a long journey
C. a pleasant trip
D. a trip that includes the cost of all the tickets and services

2. Ann didn"t eat dinners in the restaurant of the hotel because ____.

A. she was afraid that she couldn"t pay for them with her little money
B. her doctor told her not to eat them
C. she wasn"t well
D. she wasn"t hungry

3. Why did Ann buy some cheese, some bread and some oranges?

A. Because they were good for her health.
B. Because she planned to eat them instead of lunch and supper.
C. Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant.
D. Because she is afraid that she couldn"t eat enough in the hotel restaurant.

4. What could be the best title of this passage?

A. A Pleasant Trip
B. Everything Included
C. A Foolish Girl
D. Free Dinners
