| 阅读理解。 | That summer an army of crickets (蟋蟀) started a war with my father. Dad didn"t care for insects much
more than Mamma, but he could tolerate a few living in the basement. Mamma was a city girl and she said
a cricket was just too noisy. Then to prove her point she wouldn"t go to bed. She drank coffee and smoked
my father"s cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV. Next morning she threatened to pack up and
leave, so Dad drove to the store and hurried back. He sprayed poison from a jug. When he was finished he
told us that was the end of it.
For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that we"d all be
better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn"t like because
he scratched for no reason.
However, soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upset because
she thought they were the dead crickets come back, but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched
his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison, and then he sprayed the
basement again.
A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of
junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.
While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was
in the lawn mower"s (割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the
house. Once the roof caught, there wasn"t much anyone could do.
After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail"s. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things
out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didn"t talk much, while all around
the noise of crickets broke our silence. | | 1. What do we know about the author"s mother? | A. She didn"t like insects at all.

Mother was right, 4 I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to 5 a job in
radio, then work my way up to sports 6 . I hitchhiked to Chicago and 7 on the door of every station-and
got turned 8 every time.

(各式各样东西的混合) of foster kids (养子), my father, and a wonderful mother, Scarlette Hunley. We had
little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 1 and energetic. I understood
that no matter how poor a person was, he could still 2 a dream.
My dream was 3 . By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, and hit anything that moved on
the baseball field. I was also 4 : My high school Coach Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me
how to believe in myself. He 5 me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).
One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend 6 me for a summer job. This meant
a chance for money in my pocket-cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes,
and the 7 of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was attractive and interesting,
and l wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to 8 summer baseball to handle the
work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn"t be playing.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was 9 as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said.
"Your 10 days are limited. You can"t afford to waste them."
I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my
dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 11 to me.
"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" He demanded.
"3.5 dollars an hour." I replied.
"Well," he asked, "Is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"
That question, the plainness of it, laid here for me the difference between wanting something right now and
having a goal. I delicated myself to sports that summer and with the year I was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates
to play baseball, and was 12 a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1998 for $1.7 million,
and bought my mother the house of my dreams. | ( )1.A. happy

D. presented | | 完形填空。 | Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a 1 of about eighty miles. It was late and I was
in a hurry. However, if anyone asked me how fast I was 2 , I"d say I was not over-speeding. Several times
I got 3 behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was holding my fists tightly with 4 .
At one point along an open highway, I 5 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,
but as I 6 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. No cars,
no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 7 , the only human being for at least a mile
in any 8 .
I started 9 why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being 10 , because there was obviously no
policeman around, and there certainty would have been no 11 in going through it.
Much later that night, after I 12 a group of my friends in Lewisburg and climbed into bed near midnight,
the question of why I"d stopped for that light 13 me. I think I stopped because it"s part of a contract (合同)
we all have with each other. It"s not only the 14 , but it"s an arrangement we have, and we trust each other to
15 it: we don"t go through red lights. Like most of us, I"m more likely to be 16 from doing something bad
by the social convention that 17 it than by any law against it.
It"s amazing that we ever 18 each other to do the right thing, isn"t it? And we do, too. Trust is our 19
preference.

D. proud | | 阅读理解。 | When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I"ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my
neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends
who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn"t let that happen.
Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our
whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some
kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not
to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.
Mr. Clark was selected as Disney"s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of
a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw
names, Mr. Clark said, "You"re all going."
On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn"t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta,
but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a best-selling book based
on his classroom rules, The Essential 55.
In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages
(孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It"s now my dream to one day start a group of
women"s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds. | | 1. Without Mr. Clark, the writer ____. | A. might have been put into prison
B. might not have won the prize
C. might have joined a women"s club
D. might not have moved to Atlanta | | 2. The Essential 55 is ____. | A. a show
B. a speech
C. a classroom rule
D. a book | | 3. How many students" names were finally drawn out of a hat by Mr. Clark? | A. None.
B. Three.
C. Fifty-five.
D. All. | | 4. What can we learn from the passage? | A. It was in Harlem that we saw The Phantom of the Opera for the first time.
B. Mr. Clark taught us not to talk with our mouths full, and we did.
C. Mr. Clark was selected as Disney"s 2000 Teacher of the Year in Los Angeles.
D. In 2003, Mr. Clark moved to Atlanta, and he always kept in touch with us. | | 5. In the passage, the writer intends to tell us that ____. | A. Mr. Clark went to South Africa because he liked travelling
B. Mr. Clark helped to set up a group of women"s clubs
