knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting
though a little dangerous. "We"re the best men for the job," they said to the boss. "There may be problems, but
we can find the answers." "They"re the last people I"d trust," thought the boss. "But all the other astronauts have
refused to go."
     Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried
to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked
again, louder this time, and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice
said, "Who"s there?" "It"s me! Who else could it be?" shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine

阅读理解。     Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had no legs but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind
of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him "Ape Man"
because his arms practically dragged on the ground.
    Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his
schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He
swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been
moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much
longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair. Hank felt himself got cold all over. However, the doctor
said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and
the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always
wanted to be-a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.
     Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched
back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the
endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned
to sail it.
     When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He
marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of
Hank Viscardi, a man without legs. 1. It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is _____. [     ]
A. an average height for a fully grown person

阅读理解。                                                                    "You don"t say!"
    A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again
and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
     One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about
how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head and shrugging his
shoulders, he said, "You don"t say!" "You don"t say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate
topic."I"d better change the topic."
     So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?"
"Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent."
     He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in
the world. We are very proud of it" Soon I was interrupted again by his words:"You don"t say!"
     I couldn"t help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn"t request you to do so," he
answered, greatly surprised.
     I said, "Didn"t you say "you don"t say"?" Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain,
"you don"t say" actually means "really?" It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don"t pay attention to English
idioms." Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic
expressions.
     Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 1. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because ______. [     ]
A. English idioms were not important
B. I was not careful with English idioms
C. My teacher didn"t emphasize the importance of them
D. I had no interest in them 2. At first, on hearing "You don"t say," I thought the foreigner meant ______. A. he was not interested in the topic
B. he was only interested in the Great Wall
C. I had talked too much
D. I had to stop talking 3. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means ______. [     ]
A. interesting
B. important
C. terrible
D. unlucky 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? [     ]
A. The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.
B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.
C. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.
D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting. 5. After the Englishman explained the idiom, ______. [     ]
A. I thought the Englishman had made me a fool
B. the Englishman became a real fool
C. I felt very silly
D. I became more careful in everything

     Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30, and at 6:30 she was expected to be
chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house.
As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.
     "Hey, Sheba," she said, "I"ve got no time for you now, but I"ll take you out as soon as I get back from
tennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe.
Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医). When she got there, the vet was
just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.
     "Listen, doctor, I"m really in a rush to get to a meeting-can I leave her with you, and go and get changed?
I"ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I"ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?"
     "Sure," said the doctor.
     Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the
hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
     "This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of.that house immediately," said the
doctor"s voice. "I"m coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!"
     At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into
the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.
     "Where"s Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne.
     "She"s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she"s OK now."
     Just then, the two policemen reappeared ffom the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could
hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
    "My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?"
     "I think he must be a burglar," said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally removed what
was stuck in Sheba"s throat; it turned out to be three human fingers."

1. What was Joanne supposed to do at 6:30?

[ ]

A To walk her dog.
B. To see her doctor.
C. To attend a club meeting.
D. To play tennis with her friends.

2. Joanne wanted to get back to her home again _____.

this for the rest of my life   7   Angela appeared.
     That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school-a spot where no one would   8   me. That"s
when I first heard her voice.
     "Hi. Can I sit down?"

     "Ants."
     "What are they doing?"
     "No   9  ."
     "I bet they"re playing games and Making friends. Don"t you think so?"

going. "I know what you"ve got in there. Do you?"
     "No," I answered  17 .
     She bent and whispered in my ears.
     "Your back is hunched because you"ve got a pair of wings from the angels."
     I was  18 . I looked into her eyes and her  19  touched my heart. From that day on, I started to leam to  20
myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
