     I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that
something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Sh we with her
three- month- old calf struggling in the fastrising water, and it was a life- and- death struggle. Her calf was
floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole
body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the
rushing water would sweep the calf away.
     There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother"s body and was
gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk (象鼻) against the
rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on
a narrow shelf of rock.
     Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I
knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the
other side from where she had put her calf.
     While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother"s love. Ma Shwe had crossed
the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time,
but to her calf it was music.

1. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _____.A. the calf was about to fall into the river

C. It was a call for help.
D. It was a musical note.4. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Mother"s Love

阅读理解。     "BANG" the door caused a reverberation. "Never set foot in this house again!" shouted father. With tears
welling(涌出)up in my eyes,I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.
     A young father who held a child in his arm walked past rile. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
space:happy and harmonious (和谐).
     But now I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We are just
like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never
be opened.
     I wandered the street, without a destination in my mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night.
As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people in the streets, until I had only streets to keep me company.
When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
     I thought to myself, "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing.
Perhaps, Dad was throwing some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the
courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
      All the lights were off except father"s.
     Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
showed any mercy or regret. After an argument he will creep (蹑手蹑脚) up in my sleep and then tuck me
underneath the covers.
     This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
become his second nature.
     The light was still on. With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to
open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door
that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love－it is second to none. 1. The underlined word "reverberation" refers to _____. A. an earthquake
B. a heavy Mow
C. a shake
D. a sound forced back2. When seeing a young father with a child in his arm,the writer might have the following
   feelings EXCEPT _____. A. he/She admired them very much
B. he/She wished that the relation between him/her and his/her father could also be so harmonious
C. he/She felt that happiness had been far away from him/her
D. he/She felt disappointed with his/her father 3. Why do you think the father often shouts at his child? A. The father is getting older and older.
B. The child had already grown up.
C. They never agree with each other.
D. The father has got used to doing that.4. What conclusion can you draw after reading the text? A. The father treats his child in an unfair way.
B. The father is actually kind to his child.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his child.
D. The father is always finding fault with his child.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。      What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?   1   . Do you prefer greys and blues?
Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least,
this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the
meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.    2   . If you happen
to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
      3   . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;
and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.    4 . A black bridge over the Thames
River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自***) than any other bridge in the area-until it was
repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even
more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
       5 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when
their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow
    up-we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it

     I"m a volunteer for The American Diabetes (糖尿病) Association(ADA). I am on the planning committee
for a one-day cycling event called "Tour de Cure". It"s sponsored by the ADA and the profits( 利润) of this
event are used for diabetes research and program funding.
     While I was talking to people about our "Tour de Cure" event in downtown Denver one day, I met a young
boy wearing a red hat from Oklahoma named Jack. I think he was 10-11 years old. It was the jar of red
rubber wrist bands (The American Diabetes Association diabetes awareness wrist bands) that caught Jack"s
eye. These are the bands we give out to people who have diabetes, who have a family member who has
diabetes or to those people who know someone who has diabetes.
     People wear these for a variety of reasons: in memory of a loved one, to promote diabetes awareness and
to show support for people who have diabetes. Jack walked towards me eyeing the jar and then he said, "Can
I have one of those?" So, I replied to Jack, "Do you have someone in your family who has diabetes?" Jack
said,"No, but I know someone who has diabetes." So I gave him one to wear for his friend.
     Then, Jack began looking at our "Tour de Cure" photo album. When Jack had finished and was about to
go, he looked up at me and said,"Would you take a donation?" I was surprised to hear this from a
10-11-year-old boy, but I said, "Yes." I took the lid of our donation container off as Jack was reaching into
his pocket. His hand came out clinched around the donation he was about to make. It was my impression that
what he had in his hand was everything he had in his pocket, as he did not count it. After Jack dropped his
donation into the container, I gave him a high-five, as I so often do to acknowledge an accomplishment or
an appreciation. I also gave him a handshake before he parted. After Jack left, I counted his gift-$3.00. I then
realized that he gave all he had, without counting the cost.
     The heart of a child made me smile that day. Thank you, Jack.

1. What attracted Jack to walk towards the author?

A. The jar
B. The hat
C. The photo album
D. The donation container

2. It was probable that Jack wore a wrist band to _____.

A. prove his confidence in fighting diabetes
B. promote his strong diabetes awareness
C. express his love for his family members
D. support his friend who has diabetes

3. That Jack wanted to make a donation surprised the author because the author thought_____.

A. Jack was telling a lie to him
B. Jack was playing a joke on him
C. Jack was brave enough to do so
D. Jack was a great person for his age

4. What would be the best title of the passage?

A. A lovely boy I met
B. The heart of a child
C. A moving day I spent
D. The donation of a child
