阅读理解。     The first day of school we were interested to get to know a new classmate. I looked around when a gentle
hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lady with a warm smile.
     She said, "Hi! I"m Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and I heartily responded, "Of
course!"
    "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (天真无邪的) age?" I asked.
     She jokingly replied, "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around."
     "Not seriously," I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.
     "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!" she told me. We became instant
friends.
     Over the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She
loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students.
     At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she
taught us.
     "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to
staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your
dreams, you die. Unfortunately we have many people like this walking around?" she said.
     "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn"t
take any talent or ability," she added. "But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no
regrets. The elderly usually don"t regret what they did, but rather things they did not do."
     One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that _____. 1. Why was Rose in college at 87? Because _____. [     ]
A. she wanted to meet a rich husband
B. she wanted to get married and have children
C. she wanted to travel around
D. she dreamed of having a college education 2. According to the passage, Rose loved to do the following EXCEPT _____. [     ]

A. laugh

D. lose your dream 4. According to the last paragraph but one we know _____. [     ]
A. growing older is quite different from growing up
B. growing older needs talent
C. growing up doesn"t require ability

A. where there is a will, there"s a way
B. never too late to learn
C. Study hard and you will be young
D. never too late to be all you can possibly be

1-5: DADAD

Reading comprehension.     The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke
up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn"t stop the elephant.
It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone
suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
     Parbati Barua"s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant
before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up-how to catch wild
elephants.
     Parbati hasn"t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to
boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to
her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days
after the chase," she says.
     But Parbati doesn"t catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants,
and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.
Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the
jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea
garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
     The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a
day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never
forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat
on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed! 1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to _____. [     ]
A. get long lasting excitement
B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle
D. make the angry elephants tame 2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, _____. [     ]
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers 3. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because _____. [     ]
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them 4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _____. [     ]
A. people easily fall victim to elephants" attacks
B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants

8 specials showing them on various adventures. It"s a rest for Jane who insists that she needs her new,
busy life to provide for her family. "I have to lead such a life.and I"m thankful that I"ve built it to the top
where now I can support my children." she says.
     And whether a bellicose (好斗的) dance judge or a bellicose former wife, Jane plans to keep 0n facing
attacks on her. "Some people try to knock me down-only to make me more fierce, more protective, more
determined to do better," she says. "Go ahead, take me on. This will just make me stronger."

     School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of my   1   to get home. Sitting at the front makes you   2   out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
     Janie, the driver, tries to break the   3   atmosphere by striking the match of   4 . I try to mind my manners and   5   listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,   6  , her conversation was worth listening to.
     "My father"s sick," she said to no one in   7  . I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, "What"s wrong with him?" With her eyes wet and her voice tight from   8   the tears, she responded, "Heart trouble." Her eyes lowered as she   9  . "I"ve already lost my mum, so I don"t think I can stand losing him."
     I couldn"t respond. I was  10 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great  11  my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was,  12  still is, for her. I wouldn"t like anyone to go  13  that.
     Suddenly I realized Janie wasn"t only a bus driver. That was  14  her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns, too. I had never thought of her as  15  but a driver.
     I suddenly felt very  16 . I realized I had only thought of people as  17  as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as  18 .
     For all I know, I"m just another person in  19  else"s world, and may not even be important. I  20  not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments (约会) to keep. Understanding people is an art.

"I swear, I didn"t steal anything!" I shouted over the alarm. Obviously the security guard didn"t believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand. "Do you have a receipt of this?" he asked doubtfully, putting any new back-to-school outfit (全套设备) onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance. "Of course I do," I replied, fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket. Elsie and Monica, my two best friends, stood beside me. They were laughing their heads off! I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt, but it had disappeared. "Let me look again," I said nervously. Then I looked again, and again, and again! My face was getting hotter by the minute, and my heart was beating like a racehorse. Finally, I looked back at the guard and whispered, "It"s not here." The guard picked up my clothes and said, "You"ll have to come with me, Miss." When he opened the office door, I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk. It was the manager. Then I had an idea. "May I say something?" I asked. "I can prove I didn"t steal this thing." "Then I explained all about the cashier (出纳员). She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday present for her little sister." "We"ll just see about that," the manager said and went off to find her. Ten minutes later, I was free! It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something! Then I remembered shouting at my sister that very morning for taking my new hair clips. Had she really taken them? I made a promise that day never to accuse someone of something without proof, and I haven"t. At last, something good came out of my terrible experience.
1. Why didn"t the security guard believe the author?
[ ]
A. Because she looked nervous at that time. B. Because she had no money in her wallet. C. Because she didn"t have a receipt for the outfit. D. Because her face turned red after being caught.
2. That the author"s two friends laughed their heads off showed _____.
[ ]
A. they didn"t believe the author B. they laughed at the author who stole things C. they expected the author to be caught D. they played a trick on the author
3. We can infer the author was very _____ from the underlined part in Paragraph 4.
[ ]
A. careful B. nervous C. frightened D. excited
4. Who proved that the author hadn"t stolen anything?
[ ]
A. The manager. B. The cashier. C. The author"s friends. D. The security guard.
5. From her experience, the author learned that _____.
[ ]
A. you should believe in yourself in face of difficulty B. it is a terrible thing to be suspected (怀疑) by friends C. you should ask for a receipt for whatever you buy D. you should not doubt others if you can"t prove it
