    In 2003, Bethany Hamilton,13, lost her left arm to a shark attack while surfing off Kauai, Hawaii. A new film ,Soul Surfer, is based on the story of how she overcame that to achieve her dream of becoming a professional athlete.
    Growing up on the “garden isle” of Kauai, Hamilton spent every minute she could riding the waves. She was on the verge of (即将) becoming a top competitor in professional surfing. But while she was practicing at an isolated cove (小湾)，a four-meter-long tiger shark ripped off her left arm. Though her life was saved, nobody could imagine she would ever get back on a surfboard again.
    In a true test of her faith and by tremendous will power, Bethany did get back up on a surfboard only a month after the attack. Six months later, she was competing again. Bethany Hamilton won her first amateur surfing championship just two years after she lost her arm. She also established the “Friends of Bethany,” a non---profit foundation dedicated to supporting sharks attack victims.
    It’s a story told in her autobiography, which is the basis for the film that stars teenager Anna Sophia Robb. “I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”
    The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding.
    Now 21, Hamilton says she hopes audiences find inspiration in the description of the sport she loves.
    “Not a lot of people know that much about surfing, so I hope they’re educated about it,” Hamilton says. “And most of all if people are going through a hard time, they could be encouraged and find inspiration to push through those hard times and see that, in my case ,so much good has come out of it.”
    小题1:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?.
    A．Hamilton was severely injured when surfing.
    B．Nobody thought Hamilton could overcome the troubles.
    C．Rob did the breathtaking wave riding in the film Soul Surfer.
    D．Hamilton established the “Friends of Bethany” to help shark attack victims.
    小题2:Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined word “tremendous” in the third paragraph?
    A．Free.B．EasyC．Smart.D．Strong.
    小题3:What can we learn from Anna Sophia Robb’s words?
    A．She was absorbed in the story.
    B．she wasn’t sure she could play the role well.
    C．She wants to challenge her faith.
    D．She doesn’t believe Bethany’s story.
    小题4:How does Hamilton hope people will be affected by her story?
    A．she hopes more people will take up surfing.
    B．she hopes people will be inspired and encouraged
    C．She hopes more people will keep off the sharks.
    D．She hopes people will donate something to her charity.
    小题5:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．A lot of people are fond of surfing.
    B．Good things will happen to the disabled in the end.
    C．Faith and will power will help people go through hard times.
    D．People can always overcome every difficulty in life.

    小题2:D
    小题3:A
    小题4:B
    小题5:C
    年仅13岁的宝芬妮.汉弥顿在夏威夷考艾岛冲浪时，不幸被鲨鱼袭击，失去左臂。之后她克服身体上的残缺，实现了成为一名职业运动员的梦想，她的故事最近被拍成了电影。
    小题1:细节理解题。结合The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding（电影中运用特技将罗伯的胳膊给“隐身”起来，但是在冲浪场景中，特技就变得多余了。因为这些冲浪的场景都是由汉米尔顿亲自上阵的）可知C项错误。
    小题2:词义理解题。will power意志力。结合文章可知，Bethany是个意志坚强的人，所以划线的词应是strong的含义。
    小题3:推理判断题。结合文章内容“（“I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”）我知道她的故事，接下这个角色也是对我的挑战。但是我真的被这些挑战给怔住了，如果真的失去了手臂，我们的信念还能那般坚定么？可知Rob被Bethany的经历吸引和感动了。
    小题4:细节理解题。结合最后一段Hamilton 的话“大多数人遭遇了这一切都会经历很艰难的时期，但是我们一定能渡过一切难关，就像我们家的例子一样，一切都会好起来的”可知B正确。
    小题5:推理判断题。结合Hamilton的经历：在夏威夷考艾岛冲浪时，不幸被鲨鱼袭击，失去左臂。之后她克服身体上的残缺，实现了成为一名职业运动员的梦想，我们可知：信念和坚强的意志激励我们能渡过一切难关。

    In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil.
    I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
    "I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil. Can't you afford a pen?"
    My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well; I've always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days. "
    Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
    This story, which happened before I was born, reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.
    小题1:Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?
    A．To leave messages.
    B．To list her everyday tasks.
    C．To note down math problems.
    D．To write down a flash of inspiration.
    小题2:What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?
    A．It has great value for the family.
    B．It needs to be replaced.
    C．It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
    D．It should be passed on to the next generation.
    小题3:The author feels embarrassed for____________.
    A．blaming her mother wrongly
    B．giving her mother a lot of trouble
    C．not making good use of time as her mother did
    D．not making any breakthrough in her field
    小题4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．The mother is successful in her career.
    B．The family members like traveling.
    C．The author had little time to play when young.
    D．The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

    In the year after my mother left us, my father was 42 and he knew that he wasn’t going to make it to 43. He wrote a letter to me and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
    Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what I would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going?”
    A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of , and believe in somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ---- as mine was until my father’s letter---- is of being a disappointment.
    Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts ：“Don’t worry; you’ll do something great .”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
    小题1:We learn from the text that the author__________.
    A．lost his father when he was young
    B．worked hard before he read his father’s letter
    C．asked his father’s permission to believe in himself
    D．knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do
    小题2:What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?           
    A．Children need their parents’ letters.
    B．Children are afraid to be disappointed.
    C．His children’s fear of failure held them back.
    D．His father’s letter removed his fear of failing his parents.
    小题3:Which of the following is true of the author?
    A．He got no access to success.
    B．He wrote back to his father at 12.
    C．He was sure his parents loved him.
    D．He once asked his father about the letter.
    小题4:The main purpose of the text is to        .
    A．describe children’s thinking

    To Whom It May Concern:
    On March 5, 2012 , I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit(松饼粉 ) from your store at Midfield Shopping Center. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”.
    Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried prapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient(配料 ) . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce (沙司 ). I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.
    When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect”muffins.
    I would appreciate a full refund(退款 ) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter.
    Sincerely ,
    Michelle Bauer

    Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different.
    People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special sound. They chose the “new name” for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they were born.
    Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
    In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband’s after she gets married. But today, many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband’s. Sometimes, women use their own name in some situations（情况）and their husband’s in other situations. And some use both their own name and their husband’s.
    小题1:Hanna changes her name to Anne because “Anne” is           for people to remember.
    A．louderB．easierC．prettierD．harder
    小题2:Famous people want their new names to          .
    A．have special soundB．be ordinary
    C．have no meaningD．be unknown
    小题3:Mr. Li uses his new name when he          .
    A．stays with his familyB．is at his job
    C．is among Chinese friendsD．comes back to China
    小题4:Which of the following statement is TRUE?
    A．Women have to change their names when they get married.
    B．Women can’t use their husband’s name without permission.
    C．If a singer becomes famous, he or she has to change his or her name.
    D．Some people changed their names in order to get much more attentions.

    The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …
    It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (关键) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.
    Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格内向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.
    Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.
    Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”
    That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.
    The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.
    When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.
    小题1:What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?
    A．Lonely.B．Exciting.C．Wild.D．Busy
    小题2:In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us         .
    A．how she cared what her classmates thought
    B．when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”
    C．why many of her classmates disliked novels
    D．how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her
    小题3:Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?
    A．To test whether she had a good memory.
    B．To make her earn the respect of her classmates.
    C．To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”
    D．To guide her to build a good relationship with others.
    小题4:How did the author feel when she made the presentation?
    A．Comfortable.B．sad.C．Nervous.D．Confident.
    小题5:What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?
    A．To express her thanks to her teacher.
    B．To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏见).
    C．To introduce one of her favorite books.
    D．To suggest the ways to gain confidence.

    Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases（案例， 病例） with his  students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．
    Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
    "Are you getting food you like?"
    The patient said nothing．
    "Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
    The answer was no．
    The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft．
    "If you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
    "Yes, yes," the patient said．
    The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious．Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received．
    Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat．One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
    "Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
    "I would probably insist," the student said．
    "Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won't be-easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it．Or he'll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"
    Three weeks later．Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．
    小题1:The patient had no desire to eat because __________________.
    A．he was not hungry
    B．he was seriously ill
    C．he was given special meals
    D．he was not satisfied with the food
    小题2:According to the passage, we can conclude that __________________.
    A．the patient’s native language was Spanish
