我的学生都是一些身体残疾或智力有障碍的孩子。Mark行动不便，在一次学校组织的残疾人奥林匹克运动会中，Mark落在最后，他的三个朋友返回去跟Mark共同冲向终点。他们的行为深刻地阐释了残疾人奥运会的真正意义之所在。
16．A 从第一句中的“teaching”一词可以看出作者是一名教师，因此这里是说“我”的“学生”。
17．D 从前一句可知Mark患脑瘫，行动不便，因此他是被束缚在“轮椅”上。24空所在句子中的“wheelchair”是答案提示。
18．B 前一句提到他必须跟自己的身体不便作斗争，本句提到他有积极的态度，前后构成转折关系，因此选B。
19．C 联系上下文可知，他积极乐观，因此很受同学们的“喜爱”。
20．D 由23空后的“well in their sports events”可知，这三个学生擅长“运动”。
21．C Mark希望像他们一样，自己不受身体不便的束缚。因此选body。
22．B Mark基本上不能运动，因此在看到别人在运动场上活动时，他会“惊叹”。wonder表示“惊讶，惊叹”。
23．A 上文提到这三个学生擅长体育运动，再由该空后的“gave the normally…cheer about”可知他们在这次的体育比赛中获得了好名次。place表示“获名次”，符合语境。
24．B 从上一句的“cheer about”以及文章最后一句可知，Mark坐在轮椅里为他们欢呼。
25．B 根据下文可知所有的学生都被邀请沿着跑道走或者跑完一圈，因此选B项。
26．C entire表示“完整的”，符合语境。
27．D 当三名学生到达终点的时候，他们停下来，转身看他们后面的同学。pause停下来，符合语境。
28．A at the end of是固定搭配，表示“在……的后面”。
29．C Mark行动不便，因此所有的同学都超过了他。pass意思是“经过；通过”。
30．C 只有他自己还剩下一半多的路没走完。cover行走，符合语境。
31．D 他们三个彼此注视了一下，心里都有了个想法。thought在此处是名词，表示“想法”。
32．A 根据上文可知他们已经到达了终点，因此这里是指他们返回去为Mark加油。
33．D as在此处的意思是“正如”。他们为Mark加油，就像Mark之前为他们加油一样。
34．A 从后半句的but可知，虽然过程很慢，但是最后他们三人跟Mark一起冲过了终点线。

One day while shopping in a small town in southern California，it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility（敌意） toward that clerk increased with each step.

In that moment I felt transformed（改变）．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall．
"Thank you?" The woman seemed slightly puzzled．
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave．"Just tell him that," I insisted．"He'll understand．I am sure !"
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art anywhere and everywhere, with everybody．

I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
41．Why did the boy start his job young?
A．He wanted to be famous in the future
B．The job was quite easy for him.
C．His mother had high hopes for him.
D．The competition for the job was fierce.
42．From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.
A．excited B．interested C．ashamed D．disappointed
43．What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A．She forced him to continue. B．She punished him.
C．She gave him some money. D．She changed her plan.
44．The phrase “this battle”in the last paragraph refers to .
A．the war between the boy’s parents
B．the arguing between the boy and his mother
C．the quarrel between the boy and his customers
D．the fight between the boy and his father
45．What is the text mainly about?
A．The early life of a journalist.
B．The early success of a journalist.
C．The happy childhood of the writer.
D．The important role of the writer in his family.

Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask．But，as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history，I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history．Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history．
The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past．I believe that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures．However，as the unfortunately(不幸地)true statement goes ‘‘the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to
learn from history”，perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this．
A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current(目前的)political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context(背景)．We can not
even understand why we are and where we are without history，much less try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be．
I teach my children history，for one more reason．I bought a set of historical audio tapes for our children．My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over．It was my hope that he would
become inspired by the accomplishments(成就)of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself．I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. By doing so，young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he didn’t accomplish．I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler，people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for．
1.What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 ?
A．Many people aren’t clever enough to learn well from the past．
B．Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes．
C．Many people feel it hard to understand history．
D．Many people have no interest in studying history．
2.In Paragraph 3，the author shows that history is useful because
A．it makes the current political situation go smoothly
B．it helps us realize the importance of historical events
C．it helps us understand why things are the way they are
D．it helps people accept the present situation where they live
3.Some historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show____．
A．people can be inspired to do good and also learn to fight against evil
B．people may also learn from bad historical figures
C．more celebrations should be held to honor their achievements
D．today’s people can also achieve what they achieved
4.What would be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．How to teach history effectively．
B．Some negative reasons for studying history．
C．How to get more people to study history．
D．Some bad historical figures．

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
