    Last winter, when I was heavily pregnant, I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening!
    When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.
    All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!
    When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.
    小题1:Why did the author just freeze when the four young men walking toward her car?
    A．Because she was afraid of being harmed.
    B．Because she sat in her car for too long a time.

    D．Because she knew they would rob her of the car.

    My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card （成绩报告单）arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
    One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.” Just then, I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time” and hung up.
    Karl’s next report card showed a great improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll（光荣榜）. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-­teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home，he said, “Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”
    小题1:By saying “Karl became withdrawn” the author means that the boy changed entirely and ________.
    A．he preferred to stay at school
    B．he stayed at home all day
    C．he refused to talk to his mother
    D．he began to like his life
    小题2:There was silence on the other end of the line because ________.
    A．the speaker was too moved to say anything to his mother
    B．the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking
    C．the speaker didn't want the mother to recognize his voice
    D．the speaker didn’t want to interrupt the mother
    小题3:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Children in single-­parent families often have mental problems.
    B．Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.
    C．Being understood by parents is not necessary to teenagers.
    D．School education is a failure.
    小题4: Which is not true according to the article?
    A．Karl changed a lot after his father died.
    B．What Karl did at school showed that he didn’t love his mother.
    C．Karl’s mother tried many ways to help him.
    D．Karl’s teachers were surprised at his change.

    “Your honor(法官大人)！Let me say a few words for myself. What they have told you is just not true. I was not trying to kill anyone, and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time. I didn't have anything to tell people that night and was quite alone. I didn't know them and needn't hate them. I was attacked by them, and I knocked one of them down. It's true, but I was made to do it, or I might be killed by them. I did this not because I hated the white men as they said. I just had to do so. While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men, a policeman came, caught me and took me here. I know why I was beaten. I have just moved into a house next to these three white men. I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet. I think, as an American, I have the right to choose where to live. I am guilty. What makes me guilty is my color opposite to theirs and I can't enjoy justice(公正). Yes, I'm not guilty. This is all I want to say. Thank you, your honor.”
    小题1:Why did he speak for himself?
    A．He wanted to live in the house next to the whites.
    B．He wanted to have the right to choose where to live.
    C．He wanted to show he was not guilty.
    D．He wanted to show he didn't hate the whites.
    小题2:The speaker was caught because________.
    A．the policeman wanted to save him
    B．he was black and was fighting with the whites
    C．he killed the three men in a dark street
    D．he lived in a house next to the whites
    小题3:What's the right order of the story?
    a. The speaker said something for himself.
    b. The three men said something.
    c. The speaker knocked down one of the three men.
    d. The speaker was beaten by the three men.
    e. He was caught by the policeman.
    f. The speaker moved into a house near the whites.

    Norah had a cottage on a cliff（悬崖）above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
    Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
    But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
    Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
    This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
    Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
    “What’s that?” asked Norah.
    “Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But…”
    小题1:The underlined word “gale” can be replaced by _____.
    A．windB．shipC．seaD．animal
    小题2:We can infer that _____.
    A．lots of friends cam to visit them in winter
    B．few friends came to visit them in winter
    C．friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals
    D．Norah was a good cook
    小题3:How did Norah go to the sea for a swim?
    A．She went there by ship.B．She walked there.
    C．She swam there.D．She went there by bicycle.
    小题4:The hairdresser likely to continue to say “_____” in the end?
    A．if I’m tired, I say ‘Sorry, can you come next time?’
    B．if it’s someone I like to see, I say ‘How lucky! I’ve just come in!’
    C．if it is fine that day, I say, ‘I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place.’
    D．if it’s someone I like to see, I say, ‘How happy to see you! But I was going shopping now .’
    小题5:Which of the following is the best title?

    “Where is Papa going with that ax (斧子)?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
    “Out to the hoghouse,” replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
    “I don’t see why he needs an ax,” continued Fern, who was only eight.
    “Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (发育不良的小动物). It’s very small and weak. So your father has decided to do away with it.”
    “Do away with it?” shouted Fern. “You mean kill it?”
    “Don’t shout, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.”
    Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled springtime. Fern’s shoes were wetting by the time she caught up with her father.
    “Please don’t kill it! It’s unfair,” she said.
    Mr. Arable stopped.
    “Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
    “This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.” Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
    “Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a group of pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble.”
    “But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small. If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
    Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. It’s a pig.”
    “There is no difference,” replied Fern.
    小题1:What puzzled Fern at the beginning?
    A．Why her father refused to eat breakfast.B．If the hoghouse was big enough for many pigs.
    C．How pigs were born at night. D．What his father would do with an ax.
    小题2:Why couldn’t Fern control herself?
    A．Because she was afraid of killing a pig.B．Because the pig was treated unfairly.
    C．Because she loved pet pigs very much.D．Because her father was rude to her.
    小题3:According to the passage, Fern’s father thought that ______.
    A．it was natural for pigs to be born smallB．he couldn’t afford to have so many pigs
    C．a weak pig needed more attentionD．he was troubled by raising a weak pig
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Fern was _________.

    Travelling around the world with children is difficult enough, but attempting it without using motorized transport is even more of challenge. But Dario Schworer, a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just that.
    The Swiss couple want to travel across the world’s oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of life.
    “We are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas,” Schworer said. “We want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the future.”
    Recently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through as the world’s climate zones using just human-power and forces of nature.
    In the 47 countries they have visited so far they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the sun’s rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundation. They have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school children.
    So far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind power.
    “We need to motivate children,” said Sabine.
    When they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their own. But since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Noe was born in Australia.
    Initially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, seven years later, they believe it could take seven more.
    “Since our belief is the need to respect nature, we travel only when conditions are good,” Schworer said.
    小题1:Why do the Swiss couple travel around the world?
    A．To inspire their children for the future.
    B．To prove a travel without motorized transport.
    C．To explore the secret of global warming.
    D．To promote Earth-friendly ways of life.
    小题2:They did a lot during the travel except ________.
    A．build a house with recycled plastic bottles
    B．collect rubbish and waste
    C．communicate with local children
    D．show people how to use energy
    小题3:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “Initially”?
    A．In the endB．In a wayC．At the beginningD．On the whole
    小题4:The best title of the passage can be ________.
    A．A Swiss family’ journey across the world
    B．An eco-friendly adventure across the world
    C．We have a long way to make a good travel
