阅读理解。     When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the
summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.
Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
     It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie"s basement. As I opened the
basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I
ran downstairs, and spotted red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint
in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
     "Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint." She
screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered
all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my
house, we painted bit stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors
turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
     The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was
my mother. I couldn"t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from
the look on my mother"s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
    My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world
were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors" trees, but
this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring hack at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted
(侮辱) my art.
     "Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my
beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
     Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when
I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow
to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. 1. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A. To introduce Stephanie to her.
B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C. To put the materials back in the yard.
D. To show his artwork to her. 2. In his mother"s eyes, the writer _____. A. was a born artist
B. always caused trouble
C. was a problem solver
D. worked very hard 3. The underlined word "rainbow" in the last paragraph refers to _____. A. the rainbow in the sky
B. the stripes on the pavement
C. something imaginative and fun
D. important lessons learned in childhood 4. It can be learned from the passage that parents should _____. A. encourage children to paint
B. value friendship among children
C. discover the hidden talent in children
D. protect rather than destroy children"s dreams

1-4: D B C D

阅读理解。     I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe
occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net,
spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top
recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was
one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an
assistant, "Can I have one of those?" He looked perturbed (不安). "Do you want to try it first?" he
said. It didn"t quite sound like a question. "Do I need to?" I replied, "There is nothing wrong with it?"
This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said
encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."
     I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide
range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based
around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to
spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same
time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the
store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I
paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
     But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice,
the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant
seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took
excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers… and when he started to introduce the special features, I
interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
     Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they
offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited
than we would like to imagine. 1. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should _____A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.
B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others.
C. get more information about different companies.
D. trust him and stop asking questions. 2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it" (paragraph 2)?A. He should get a 50% discount.
B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
C. The quality of the camera was not good.
D. The camera would soon fall in value. 3. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he _____ A. knew very little about it.
B. didn"t trust the shop assistant.
C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.
D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers. 4. I t can be inferred from the passage that in the writer"s opinion, _____. A. people waste too much money on cameras
B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C. we don"t actually need so many choices when buying a product
D. famous companies care more about profit than quality

     I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn"t like attention drawn to myself. And   1
otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher. I always   2   to sit at the back of the classroom.
     All this   3   after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball
team. At first I thought it was a crazy   4   because I didn"t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have
the   5   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept
insisting on my "  6   for it", I wouldn"t have decided to give it a try.
     Getting up the courage to go the tryouts was only the   7   of it! When I first started   8   the practice
sessions, I didn"t even know the rules of the game, much   9   what I was doing. Sometimes I"d get  10
and take a shot at a wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid.  11 , I wasn"t the only one "new"
at the game, so I decided to  12  on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not to be
too hard on myself for the things I didn"t  13  "just yet".
    I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the  14  and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and
motivating. Very soon the competitive  15  in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I
learned how to play and make friends in the  16 -friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be
a team player. I never had so much fun.
     With my  17  self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from
" 18 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,  19  raising my hand-even
when I sometimes wasn"t 100 percent  20  I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in
myself.
