阅读理解。     Grandpa Nybakken loved life-especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his
large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, "Oh,
forevermore!" But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him,
and grandpa wasn"t laughing.
     Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his
church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his
glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the
church. His search proved fruitless.
     Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen
into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!
     The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for
those glasses that very morning.
     "It"s not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration."I"ve been very faithful in giving of my time
and money to your work, and now this."
     Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to
visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather"s small
church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众).
"But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year."
     "Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able
to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this.
Then your boxes arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the
top." After a long pause, he continued, "Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been
custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!"
     The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their
church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.
     But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the
Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way. 1. Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken according to the passage? A. He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.
B. He had a large family to support.
C. He was a carpenter working in the church.
D. He was a loyal Christian. 2. The people in the church but Grandpa felt confused at what the director said because _______. A. Grandpa didn"t tell the director that he was the owner of the glasses
B. the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it
C. the director could not get such glasses in their own country
D. the glasses were not included in the donation list 3. Who does "the Master Carpenter" in the last paragraph probably refer to? A. Grandpa"s master.
B. One of Grandpa"s friends.
C. God.
D. Grandpa"s co-worker.4. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Grandfather"s life
B. The Helpful Donation
C. The Perfect Mistake
D. An Impressive Speech

阅读理解。     I don"t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people
asked constantly for stories about what it"s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very
good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is
the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
     At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only
woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research,
the issue started to bother me. My every achievement-jobs, research papers, awards- was viewed through the
lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left
brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my
behalf and all womankind.
     Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply
to any and all provocations: I don"t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I
had at 19 and to realize that I didn"t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another
terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don"t study sociology or political theory.
     Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women"s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me
how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to
answer; 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for
children. And I don"t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don"t tell them"war" stories. Instead, I have given them
this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have
given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that"s a sight worth talking about. 1. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author"s failures to ______.A. the very fact that she is a woman
B. her involvement in gender politics
C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society 2. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
C. People"s stereotyped attitude towards female scientists.
D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture 3. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class? A. Female students no longer have to worry about gender issues.
B. Her students" performance has brought back her confidence.
C. Her female students can do just as well as male students.
D. More female students are pursuing science than before.4. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?A. Women students needn"t have the concerns of her generation.
B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
D. Women now have fewer discrimination problems about science career.

1 . She described all the things she had to do－one was to make her bed－from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I"d been raised by wolves in a forest. 2 . Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years－and nothing bad had happened. "And you know what?" she said. "I don"t dry my dishes anymore, either." 3 . One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理) about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. 4 . So what is the solution? There"s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. 5 . The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life.Take a nap (小憩). Take a walk.Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破). B. Above all, you needn"t do anything for yourself regularly. C. They put everyone else"s needs ahead of their own. D. However, she went along with my idea. E. Most people do not take time to relax themselves. F. The point is to do something for yourself every day. G. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

A German taxi-driver, Franz Bussman, recently found a brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before. While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs Bussman commented on the workman"s close resemblance to her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz poured scorn on the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs. Bussman was fully acquainted with this story, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right. A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman, Needless to say, the man"s name was Hans Bussman and he really was Franz"s long-lost brother. When the brothers were re-united, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive. After having been wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed. Hans returned to his family home, but the house had been bombed and no one in the neighborhood knew what had become of the inhabitants. Assuming that his family had been killed during an air-raid (空袭), Hans settled down in a Village fifty miles away where he had remained ever since.

A. Living Not Far B. A Chance in a Million C. Coming Back to Life D. Back after the War
2. Why did Franz laugh at his wife"s idea?
A. Because Franz believed that his brother had already been killed in the war. B. Because Franz believed that many people looked closely like his brother. C. Because Franz thought that his wife was just joking. D. Because Franz believed there was a chance in a million that the workman was his brother.
3. Which of the following orders is right? a. He walked back to Western Germany. b. He was wounded when the war was coming to the end. c. The hospital was destroyed by bombs. d. He came back to his family house. e. He was sent to hospital. f. His unit of German didn"t exist any longer.
