阅读理解。     Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small
inn at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided
to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went t turning around that famous city.
     They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to
go bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals served after seven. They were therefore
surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.
     "Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith.
     "Yes,certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine."
     "What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr. Smith.
     "Well, sir," answered the man. "We sever breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch
from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine."
     "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London!" said Mrs. Smith. 1. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had _____ in the past. A. often stayed in a quite good hotel
B. often stayed in a small inn
C. travelled to many places
D. made a lot of money 2. They decided to go to a really good hotel because _____. A. it was said to be a quite good one
B. they were tired of small inns
C. it was near many places of interest
D. they now had enough money 3. When they got to the hotel, _____. A. no meals wre served after seven
B. dinner was still being severed
C. there wre no visitors

B. was afraid that they would have no time to tour around London
C. thought the hotel wasn"t so good as they expected
D. did know why the hotel was better than the small inn

阅读理解。     Sometimes you make a wish but when it comes, you decide you don"t want it after all. That"s what
happened with Mickey"s "birthday wish".
     Our family tradition is that you make a wish before you blow out the birthday candle. After he blew
out the candle, Mickey told us that his wish was to win a prize in the Pine Ridge match. We quickly told
Mickey that if you tell people your wish, your wish won"t come true. So we lit the candle again, and he
made another wish.
     Mickey and Paul were both supposed to start playing at 5:30.
     When Mickey reported to the check-in table, the game organizers told him his opponent had phoned
and said he was coming late. The officials told Mickey he could choose not to play-and be declared the
victor of the first round of competition.
     But Mickey said he didn"t want to win by not playing. He wanted the experience of playing a great
player. Finally, the beast showed up. He was tall, smiling and relaxed. His serve (发球) was like lightning.
Mickey had some good returns, but he lost quickly, 6-1, 6-0. We congratulated Mickey on having some
good returns and a few great serves. And we noted that he had won the first game.
     "I didn"t win that game," Mickey said. "I think he just gave it to me at the beginning because he arrived
late."
     "It was a birthday present," I said, smiling.
     "No, I refused my birthday present," Mickey said. In his eyes, his "birthday present" had been the
chance to win by his opponent"s forfeit.
     Mickey ended up winning the "consolation trophy"-a smaller prize we didn"t know existed until Mickey
earned it by being undefeated in the consolation bracket.
     We"ll never know what Mickey"s second wish was-the wish he didn"t share with us.
     It seems to me that no matter how many birthdays you celebrate, as long as you enjoy challenges, you
will never be "old". 1. What impressed the writer most according to the passage? A. Mickey was defeated in the game.
B. Mickey played fairly well in the game.
C. Mickey was brave enough to face the challenge.
D. Paul"s perfect serve skill. 2. Why did Mickey lose the match? A. He gave up the chance to be the victor of the first round of competition.
B. He let out his birthday wish.
C. He was too sure of his ability.
D. His opponent played much better than he did. 3. What did Mickey feel after the game? A. He tried his best and that was enough.
B. He had no way to defeat his opponent.
C. He was not satisfied with himself.
D. He hated his opponent and was determined to beat him next time. 4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____. A. one can keep young by enjoying challenges
B. you will become old as you celebrate your birthdays
C. you will stay young by continuously celebrating your birthdays
D. you will keep young without celebrating your birthdays

                                                                  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

                                                       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.
