    　　It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle．As Christmas drew near, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought．We bought the latest rages．Baby-Sitter’s Club dolls, and a doll house．Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else．”

    　　It was just too late, what will all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl．So here we were－Christmas Eve around 9∶00 p. m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nested snug in their beds．Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child．“What if the bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked．“This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl,’ and it would be much better for her to pick it out．”So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike．

    　　On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note．Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud．“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming, I said,“Yes．”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied,“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．”At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy every bicycle on the planet!

    (1)

    Which is the right time order of the following events?

    a．The girl asked for a new bike

    b．The girl opened the little heart-shaped package

    c．The parents bought the girl a modern and popular doll．

    d．The father made the girl a bike with clay．

    e．The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one．

    [　　]

    A．

    b, c, e ,d

    B．

    a, c, d, b, e

    C．

    a, c, b, d, e

    D．

    a, b, d, c, e

    (2)

    Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike forever．

    B．

    Tears were in the girl’s eyes because she didn’t like the present at all．

    C．

    The girl never lost her desire for a bike．

    D．

    The parents paid little attention to the daughter’s desire for a bike．

    (3)

    Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because he wanted to buy a real one, but he had no money．

    B．

    Because he didn’t want to disappoint his daughter．

    C．

    Because he thought his daughter would like it．

    D．

    Because he wanted to give his daughter a surprise．

    (4)

    What can be inferred from the last sentence of the text?

    [　　]

    A．

    The parents were happy and encouraged．

    B．

    The parents felt comfortable and relaxed．

    C．

    The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl．

    D．

    The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl．

    答案：1．B;2．C;3．A;4．C;
    解析：

    (1)

    根据故事的时间顺序：第一段：女儿要自行车；父母给女儿买了娃娃；第二段：父亲做clay bike；第三段：女儿打开礼物；并且决定“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．”

    (2)

    根据第一段最后一句：Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else．”

    (3)

    根据第二段：Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child．“What if the bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked．可以知道，父亲做一个clay bike是不想让女儿失望。

    (4)

    根据女儿打开礼物以后所说的话，(第三段：Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．”)可以体会到父母的心情。

    阅读理解:阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。 

        Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and　　 they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated　　 (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time,　　 prefer water with vitamins (维生素) to water without vitamins, even　　 though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water　　 bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the　　 vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it　　 and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (转) to　　 the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back　　 to where the necessary vitamins were.

    　　

    　　    In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a　　 cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them.　　 They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested　　 in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating　　 patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well　　 balanced diet (饮食).

    　　

    　　     So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on　　 what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which　　 humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many　　 of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影　　 响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and　　 blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how　　 much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on　　 around them.　　

    　　

    (1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the　　 rat's drinking water to ________.

    [　　]

    A. encourage rats to drink it　　 　　

    B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer　　 　　

    C. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavor　　 　　

    D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless　　 　　

    (2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to　　 drinking water which __________.　　　　　　　　　　

    [　　]

    A. has no smell　　 B. is tasteless

    C. has vitamins　　 D. is flavored　　 　　

    (3)As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats　　 are similar (相似) because ___________.　　　　　　

    　　

    [　　]

    A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet　　 　　

    B. both prefer flavored food and drink　　 　　

    C. both have the same eating patterns　　 　　

    D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors　　 　　

    (4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies　　 were _________.

    A. given many choices of drinks　　 　　

    B. provided with various kinds of baby food　　 　　

    C. placed and fed in a cafeteria　　 　　

    D. trained to select a balanced diet　　 　　

    (5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ　　 from those of babies because ____________.　　　　

    　　

    [　　]

    A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health　　 　　

    B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods　　 　　

    C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs　　 　　

    D. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns

         CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
    along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
    with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers
    or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
    table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
    Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
    service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
    are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
    to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
    booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
    passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
