阅读理解。     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 Shwe with her three-
month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising 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 a way.
     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
B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock
C. the calf was washed away by the rising water
D. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water 2. How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water? A. By putting it on a safe spot
B. By pressing it against her body
C. By taking it away with her
D. By carrying it on her back 3. How did the calf feel about the mother elephant"s roaring? A. It was a great comfort
B. It was a sign of danger
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
B. A Brave Act
C. A Deadly River
D. A Matter of Life and Death
答案
1-4: D A A A

阅读理解。     Computer programmer David Jones earns $35.000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot
find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead he has been told to wait another two years
until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool where the problem of most young people
of his age is finding a job. David"s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market
each month
     But David"s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot he cannot drive a
car take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company
four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop "I got
the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs" he said. David spends
some of his money on records and clothes and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time
is spent working
     "Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school" he said "But I had been studying it in books
and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on
at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway" David added:"I would like to earn a million and

     A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His
wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price
of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their
homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-$7,000, a legacy (遗产) form their
neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. "It really made a difference when we were going
under financially." says Dave.
     But the Fusses weren"t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected
legacy from the Hatches. Doxens of other families were touched by the Hatches" generosity. In some cases,
it was a few thousand dollars; in other, it was more than $100,000.
     It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million-they were an
elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
     Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived own
(喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a
new purchase.
     Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn"t
afford it. "Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything," says their friend Sand Van Weelden, "They could
see things they could do go make you happier, and they would do them."
     Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches" wish that
their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cent-should enrich the whole community (社
区) and Ish and Arlene Hatch"s story. Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch"s story.
1. According to the text, the Fusses _____.
A. were employed by a truck company
B. were in financial difficulty
C. worked in a school cafeteria
D. lost their home
2. Which of the following is true of the Hatches?
A. They had their children during the Great Depression
B. They left the family farm to live in an old house
C. They gave away their possessions to their neighbors
D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs
3. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store?
A. They decided to open a store
B. They wanted to save money
C. They couldn"t afford expensive things
D. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids
4. According to Sand Van Weelden, the Hatches were _____.
A. understanding
B. optimistic
C. childlike
D. curious
5. What can we learn from the text?
A. The community of Alto was poor
B. The summer camp was attractive to the parents
C. Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy form the Hatches
D. The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example
