阅读理解。     When Father"s Day comes from around, I think first of my stepfather. Don"t get me wrong. I loved my
biological dad, but he wasn"t much of a father to me. It"s more like Daddy was his name than what he did.
     My stepfather is the best kind of dad. He took us fishing,and when I proved too impatient with a fishing
pole, hooking trees, people on the banks...anything but fishing, he patiently taught me to use a cane pole. His
patience eventually taught me patience. He took us camping, hiking and swimming, too; along the way he
taught us about the plants, animals and out of the way places we were discovering. I discovered peace in
nature, too.
     The beach was a favorite destination. I remember my stepfather cooking hot dogs and beans on a little
camp stove, often in a sudden shower, always avoiding sand that spread as I ran back and forth. He also
took us to the circus, and I got to ride an elephant and it interested me a lot. We went to Disney World a lot,
often camping in the park. And one year we took an unforgettable five-week trip from Florida to Wyoming,
across the upper states to Indiana, and back down to Florida. He played with us, too, and told us stories. On
summer evenings when I"d been running barefoot all day and he"d patiently dig out the splinters (刺) from my
feet, I knew I was loved.
     My stepfather led me to my future husband at my wedding. I insisted I was not nervous as I held his arm
so tightly that my nails left marks. In a few years, he became the best Grandpa imaginable to our three boys-
taking them fishing and camping, fixing them special foods, teasing them…
     My stepfather has plenty of interests of his own. He enjoys fishing and camping, he is good at math, and
he is a wonderful gardener and photographer. But he has always taken time to care for his family-even his
instant family-and that"s why I say my stepfather is the best possible Real Dad. 1. The author"s stepfather took her to do all of the following EXCEPT _____. A. camping, hiking and swimming
B. going to the circus
C. traveling from Florida to Wyoming
D. planting in the park 2. Which of the following description is NOT given about the author"s stepfather? A. Patient
B. Kind
C. Honest
D. Clever 3. The author left marks on her stepfather"s arm because she was _____. A. disappointed
B. calm
C. tense
D. sad
答案

阅读理解。     I was giving the class when her giggling drew my attention. Walking over to the young troublemaker, I
asked for the note in her hands.
     It was a hand-drawn picture of me, teeth blackened, nostrils (鼻孔) upwards, and the words "I"m stupid"
coming out of my mouth. I managed to fold up the picture calmly and continue the class. My mind, however,
was working angrily. I knew the two most likely suspects for drawing the picture. Maybe it was high time
that I taught them a lesson!
     Somehow, in the very moment of real hurt and anger, I asked myself very softly, "How can I ever bring
good out of this?"
     When there were about six minutes left of the class, I showed the kids the picture. The whole class was
silent. I told them there must be a reason behind such a picture and that now was their chance to tell me the
reason. Then I let them write silently while I stood sadly in the back of the classroom.
     Most of them either blamed the artist or felt sorry. But two notes, from the girls I figured were behind the
picture, had a list of issues. I was too mean and too strict. Reading those notes, I realized that where I thought
I was driving them to success I was actually driving them away. I had some apologizing to do.
     When the kids walked into my classroom the next day, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The
one signed by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for
forgiveness. I was extremely surprised and more than a little shameful. I had my little speech all ready to give
to the kids, but they did it before me. 1. What caused the girl to giggle? A. The funny look of the teacher.
B. The teacher"s interesting lecture.
C. The funny picture about the teacher.
D. The short story written on the note. 2. Why did the teacher give up punishing the students who drew the picture? A. Because she didn"t want to stop in the middle of the class.
B. Because she didn"t exactly know who drew it.
C. because she didn"t think it would do any good.
D. Because the students" apology removed her anger. 3. The main reason for the students" complaints was that the teacher _____. A. was too strict with them
B. didn"t five interesting lessons
C. didn"t treat them equally
D. was not kind to them 4. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Forgiving others is actually helping yourself.
B. It is not right to push students too hard.
C. Teachers should get along well with students
D. Teachers should respect students" choices

阅读理解。     He"s an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my
shoes, he at first told me: "I haven"t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he"ll fix them
for you right away."
     But I"d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces
of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "the other fellow can"t do it well."
     "The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"-without
knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished
sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.
     My man saw I wouldn"t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked
at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,"Come back in a week."
     I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.
     "See what I can do?"  he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."
     When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an
ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his
funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.
     These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way
as long as it"pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费)
rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who
gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done. 1. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler ? A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.
B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.
C. He was proud of his skills.
D. He was a native Parisian. 2. The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that _____.A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B. it was difficult to communicate with this man
C. the man was very strange
D. the man was too old 3. According to the author, many people work just to _____. A. realize their abilities
B. gain happiness
C. make money
D. gain respect 4. This story wants to tell us that _____ .A. craftsmen make a lot of money
B. whatever you do, do it well
C. craftsmen need self-respect
D. people are born equal

     Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path.
I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn"t covered by water or mud. As I
reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so unpredictable and
from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or
five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn"t have found
it amusing. And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
     Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at
full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker
paused. I wasn"t sure what to do. After all, it"s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped
back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That"s when I discovered why
my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a mate and she was dying.
     Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and
courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate"s
sake (缘故), even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few
precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking
something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate"s safety seemed admirable. I
couldn"t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly
earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
     Since then, I"ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers
facing me.
1. Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
A. To get close to a butterfly.
B. To look over the bad situation.
C. To escape a sudden attack.
D. To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
2. What made the man feel funny?
A. Making the attacker pause.
B. Being attacked by a butterfly.
C. Being stepped on by his mate.
D. Discovering the energetic butterfly.
3. From this experience the man learned _____.
A. what he should do when faced with trouble
B. people should show sympathy to the weak
C. how he should deal with attacks
D. people should protect butterflies
4. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?
A. Careless.
B. Amusing.
C. Courageous.
D. Aggressive.

     I work as a postal letter carrier in Charlotte. One day several years ago, I drove up to a   1  . Christy, the
young divorcee (离了婚的人) who lived there, was waiting by the roadside. She said that she had a   2   to
tell me.
     About six months   3   it seemed that I had   4   a letter to her which had her street   5   on it but was
addressed to another house with the   6   number on a different street in her neighborhood. She decided to
drop off the letter to the correct house.
     It turned out that the letter had been   7   for Johnson, who happened to be   8  . They talked for a little
while and later on he   9  . Then they started dating (约会) and had been going  10   together ever since.
     I felt sorry for delivering the letter wrong, but I was  11  that I had brought these nice people together. A
few months later a(n)  12   sign went up in Christy"s yard, and then the wedding  13  were sent out. Soon the
house was sold, the wedding happened,  14   Christy, with her kids, moved into Johnson"s house.
     A few months later, I saw a For Sale sign in  15  yard. I feared the  16   might be in trouble, so I made up
a(n)   17   to go to their door and check on them.
    Christy opened the door, smiled broadly, and  18   to her huge stomach "We are having twins!" she said,
"This house won"t be big enough, so we have to  19  ."
     I suddenly realized that my one  20   letter was now giving two little yet-to-be-born people a shot at life.
Great!
