     It was early afternoon and the harbor (海港) was quiet. Mr Bates, the keeper of the lighthouse (灯塔), went
to the village. He left his daughters Rebecca and Abigail to look after the lighthouse.
     As Rebecca was about to prepare some water for the evening meal, she noticed a strange ship coming to
the harbor. It stopped and lowered two little boats, which turned and started toward land: At that time people
feared every ship they did not know, for the year was 1814 and America and Britain were at war.
     Rebecca and Abigail held their breath to see what these two boats would do. Closer and closer they came,
until finally they entered the harbor. They were full of British soldiers!
     No help was to be seen. What could they do? How could they warn the town soldiers? They had no boat,
and there would be no time to run to the village. Rebecca thought fast and then she had an idea. Calling to
Abigail to follow, she ran to the room where the guns were stored. But instead of reaching for the guns, she
took hold of the fife (军笛 ) and the drum(战鼓 ).
     Then the two young women ran along the wooded path to the shore (海岸). Hiding behind tall trees, they
started to play the fife and the drum. Abigail beat out Roll Call. Rebecca joined in with Yankee Doodle. Soon
Rebecca saw the boats had stopped!
The girls went on playing. A moment later, a flag was raised on the warship-the signal for the boats to return.
Once everyone was on board, the enemy ship set sail for the open sea.
     The British were fooled, and the" American Army of Two" won the day.

1. Why did Rebecca take the fife and the drum instead of the guns? A. She would leave the guns for the soldiers.
B. She would welcome the British soldiers.
C. She loved to play the fife and the drum.
D. She wanted to frighten the British soldiers away.2. The underlined part " American Army of Two" in the last paragraph probably refers to____. A. Rebecca and Abigail
B. the two British boats
C. the fife and the drum
D. the two town soldiers3. The British ship left the harbor because____. A. the British found the weather was too bad
B. a lot of American ships came to stop the British
C. the British thought the American soldiers were coming
D. some of the British soldiers were killed by the American 4. Which of the following words could NOT be used to describe Rebecca and Abigail"s action?____ A. Brave.
B. Honest.
C. Clever.
D. Great.

完形填空。     I hated math and was really bad at it when I was young, so I found others to allow me to copy their work.
Even though they knew they were   1 me, there were lots of people who were glad to"help". In this way, I
  2 a few tests.
     But one day something   3 happened. Our teacher changed our   4 for the exam and I was sitting beside
a boy that I seldom   5 with before. As I could only answer a question or two, I had to turn to him   6 I didn"t want to have a sea of red crosses (叉号) in my paper.
     I signaled (示意) to him and managed to   7 his attention. When he asked me what I wanted, I   8 asked
him for the answers. To my surprise, he   9 without any hesitation (犹豫). Of course, I was really   10 at his behavior and thought badly of him.
     After the test he   11 me, telling me that I could get good grades in math and that all I needed was to put
more  12   into studying the subject. I was still   13 with him, but I couldn"t get his words out of my mind.
     From that day on, I began to   14 more time to my math. Slowly, the subject I   15 hated so much turned
into such an interesting thing. I started to pass my math tests with my own   16 . Time passed and I was
getting many As in my math even till my higher studies.
     Till today, I am still   17 to my friend who didn" t allow me to copy his work. He   18   if he provided me
with the "help" during the test, there would be no   19 for me to shine. So let others shine and don" t ever rob (掠夺) others of their opportunity to show their   20 .

      Christmas was just a week away and I had five people left to shop for and only three dollars.
     "Let"s set a price limit(限制)on our gifts this year," I suggested to my best friend Joanie.
     "That"s a good idea,"Joanie agreed."How about nothing over five dollars?"
     "How about sixty cents?" I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world.
     "I guess this is where I"m supposed to say it"s not the gift but the thought that counts,"Joanie smiled.
     It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents, so it was really going to have to be very small
gifts with very big thoughts.
     Finally, Christmas Day arrived. I gave my mother a candle with a note that said," You are the brightest
light in my life." She almost cried when she read the note.
     I gave my brother a wooden ruler. On the back of it I had painted,"No brother in the world could measure
up to (比得上) you." He gave me a bag of sugar and had written on it, " You " re sweet."
     For Joanie, I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said, " No one could ever fill your shoes (代替你)."
She thanked me and said I always tickted (搔) her and made her laugh.
     To my other two friends, I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it,"I" m your biggest fan." I gave Helen a
calculator (计算器) that cost one dollar and I painted a message on the back,"You can always count on(依靠)
me." My mother knows she is the most important person in my life.
     My brother thinks I" m sweet. Joanie thinks I" m funny and make her laugh, which is important because her
dad moved away last year and she misses him and is sad sometimes.

My father works for the Coca-Cola Company, and as a result of that, I am always changing schools to go to new places for his job. Right before I moved to California, I had lived in Ohio for six years. I had many close friends, and it was very hard for me to be able to leave them. When I first moved, my friends and I talked all the time. Then I noticed I started to call my friends less and less each week as I had begun to make friends out here in California.

In 1983, Jackie Joyner took part in the world track and field championships in Helsinki, Finland. Her first chance to be a world champion ended in disaster, however, when she got injured and could not complete the heptathlon (七项全能). Her brother Al was also present, and he too was injured. Al Joyner said to his sister, "lt"s just not our time yet." One year later, both Jackie and Al Joyner joined the U. S. Olympic team. Having recovered from her injuries, Jackie was a favorite to win the heptathlon. Al, on the other hand, was not considered likely to win his event, the triple jump (三级跳). Surprisingly, Jackie won the silver medal in the heptathlon, missing the gold by only 0. 06 seconds in her final event, the 800-meter run. But Al Joyner became the first American in 80 years to win the Olympic triple jump. The tears running down Jackie"s face at the end of the day were not for her hair"s breadth loss (毫厘之间的失败), but rather for the joy at her brother"s success. The brother knew that Jackie would be back to compete another day. In 1985,Jackie Joyner set a U. S. record with a long jump of 23 feet 9 inches. At that time she was under the guidance of Bob Kersee. Their relationship changed after years spent working together as friends, and they got married on January 11,1986. When Al Joyner married an athlete named Florence Griffith, the stage was set for the emergence (出现) of a track and field family of champions. Both the women were coached (指导) by Bob Kersee in preparation for the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. At the 1988 Olympics, Jackie Joyner-Kersee not only won the gold medal in the heptathlon, but also took the gold medal in the long jump. Florence Griffith Joyner"s performance was also exciting. She won three gold medals at the Olympic Games in the 100,200 and 4×100 meters relay.
1. By saying "It"s just not our time yet", Al wanted to tell Jackie ______.
A. to be careful B. not to be nervous C. not to give up D. to stop doing sports
2. From Paragraph 2,we learn people thought that ______.
A. Jackie would win the Olympic heptathlon B. Al would win the Olympic triple jump C. both Jackie and Al would win a gold medal D. neither Jackie nor Al would win a gold medal
