    “Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle (a collection of things wrapped or boxed together) was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped -- the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.
    One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy… called me -- a f... freak.” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.
    He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music.
    The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? “I believe we could graft (移植) on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated (捐献) ,” the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” said the father.
    The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic (外交) service. “But I must know!” he urged his father. “Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”
    “I do not believe you could,” said the father，“but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come... one of the darkest days that ever passed through a son. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket (棺材). Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.
    小题1:The story is mainly about _______.
    A．how a boy had new ears through an operation

    A．was determined to donate her ears to perfect her son
    B．kept her husband unknown about the baby’s situation
    C．felt shocked and disappointed to see her new baby
    D．complained of her bad luck to have a disabled child
    小题3:The underlined word “freak” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to “_______”.
    A．slow-acting personB．funny-looking child
    C．badly-behaved studentD．strangely-shaped creature
    小题4:What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．The agreement was between the donator and the family.
    B．The boy was so popular that he was made class president.
    C．Finally the boy came to know who the donator was.
    D．The mother donated her ears to her son after she died.
    小题5:What moral lesson can we draw from this reading?
    A．Real love lies in what is done unknown rather than what is done known.
    B．It is parents’ responsibility to help their children heart and soul.
    C．True beauty lies only in the heart not in appearance.
    D．Young generations should learn to be grateful.

    试题分析：这篇文章讲述了一个感人的故事，妈妈为孩子捐献了耳朵，展现了伟大的母爱。
    小题1:主旨大意题。从文中最后一段出人意料的结局可知，故事主要讲一位母亲如何为了孩子而默默奉献了自己。选B。
    小题2:推理判断题。句意：当婴儿包放到她臂弯里，她掀开裹着婴儿的布看到他的小脸时，不禁倒吸了一口气。由此可知，母亲看到孩子的样子很震惊很失望(因为孩子生下来就没有耳朵)。选C。
    小题3:词义猜测题。由第一段孩子生下来就没有耳朵，到后面他放学回家扑在母亲怀里哭诉，可以推出有人骂他是怪胎(畸形人)。选D。
    小题4:推理判断题。由最后一段母亲去世了，父亲和儿子站在母亲的棺材前，父亲掀开母亲浓密的、红褐色的头发，告诉了儿子事实的真相——母亲把自己的耳朵捐了出来。选C。
    小题5:理解判断题。通过母亲为儿子捐献耳朵，我们可从中感觉到母爱的伟大，有时真爱隐藏在深处而不是炫耀于外表。选A。
    点评：这是一篇感人的故事，文章虽然不难，但主要考查了推理题，注重综合语言能力的运用，结合语境，做出准确的判断。

    For many writers, writing stories or plays is a part-time job: to support themselves they take on other jobs, such as teaching. It is one sign of August Wilson’s success that for many years he has been able to make a living only by writing plays.
    Wilson was born in Pittsburgh and dropped out of school in the ninth grade. He was a good reader, however, and continued his education by reading library books, learning about black nationalist movements of the time, and closely observing(观察) the lives of the poor people.
    In the late 1960’s Wilson set up a theater company called Black Horizons and began to think of ways to describe African-American life on the stage. He had the idea of a cycle of plays, each of which was set in a different decade(十年) of the 20th century, showing how African-American life has developed.
    The first successful play of this series was Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom about black musicians in Chicago in the 1920s, who are not accepted by white society. Other plays in the series include Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, about blacks in the 1910s who had moved north to Pittsburgh in search of a new identity; Fences, which focuses on a father–son conflict(冲突) in the1950s; and The Piano Lesson, about a 1930s family that was uncertain about whether to sell the family’s treasure. For the last two of these plays Wilson was awarded Pulitzer Prizes.
    Wilson has written eight plays in his cycle, the most recent being King Hedley the Second, a play set in the 1980s. His plays are enjoyed by both the blacks and the whites and engage anyone who is interested in African-American experience.
    小题1:Wilson won Pulitzer Prizes for ________.
    A．The Piano Lesson & Fences
    B． Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom & Fences
    C．The Piano Lesson & King Hedley the Second
    D．King Hedley the Second & Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
    小题2: It is possible that in his series of the 20th –century plays, Wilson plans to write ________.
    A．no moreB．two more C．three moreD．four more
    小题3:The underlined word “engage” in the last paragraph means ________.
    A．award B．benefitC．pleaseD．attract
    小题4:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．The life of August Wilson.B．The growth of August Wilson.
    C．A cycle of plays of August Wilson.D．August Wilson’s theater company.

    I was working as a consultant in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents form and carry out their new planning projects. It was really a great challenge.
    At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
    I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.
    A few days later, the president called me into his office.
    I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked at me in the eye and said, “I hear your mother is very ill”.
    I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside(平息), and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: whatever you need.
    That was it. His understanding and his willingness to both let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy（同情）that I carry with me to this day.

    A．was concerned about himB．drew the president’s attention

    Tom was a poor boy. He made a living by cleaning leather shoes for others in the street. Tom was also a clever boy.
    One day, a very rich man with the name Miser appeared in front of Tom. He watched his dirty shoes for a while, and then looked at Tom. Tom knew this kind of people well: they love money very much and hate to spend it.

    This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College in New York.
    … My last piece of advice – this is simple, but perhaps most important: 36. Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievement has avoided failure – sometimes catastrophic failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don’t 37.
    When I first arrived on this 38, I was with little money, fewer options. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 39 how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 40 a better world.
    So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42.
    … And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43. I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps at one point to help us 47. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49.
    And 50, I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 51 family. We made that marriage work.
    … So 52 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 53 an amazing family, remember that making your 54  on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of 55 and it comes with plenty of failures.
