    A flock of hungry pigeons were flying across the sky in search of food. Having traveled a long distance, they felt tired and settled down on a tree.  Just below the tree, they saw grains strewn (撒满) all over the ground. The pigeons were happy to have found enough food to eat. All the pigeons came down from the tree and started eating the grains. As they were doing so, a huge net fell on them and trapped them all.
    The pigeons were taken aback. They noticed a hunter sitting at a distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. The pigeons realized it was the hunter who had trapped them in the net. The hunter got up and began to move towards the pigeons.
    The leader of the pigeons spoke, “Friends, we are in great trouble. The hunter will catch us if we do not act swiftly in a few seconds. There is only one option available at this moment. Let all of us use our force together and fly up along with the net. If all of us use our force and fly together, we can fly carrying the net along with us. Let us start now.”
    All the pigeons agreed with him and flew high carrying the net along with them. After traveling enough distance away from the hunter, the pigeons settled on a tree and carefully came out of the net one by one and thus escaped the evil design of the hunter.
    小题1:Who strewed the grains over the ground?
    A．A villager.B．The hunter.
    C．The pigeon.D．The writer.
    小题2:The word “    ”has the closest meaning to the underlined word “option”.

    B．They tried to fly in all directions.
    C．They remained rather calm.
    D．They decided to fight for their lives.

    试题分析：一群饥肠辘辘的鸽子在觅食时中了猎人的圈套，领头的鸽子临危不惧，镇定自若，带领其他鸽子最终从网中成功逃出。
    小题1:细节理解题。根据第二段第三句中的内容They noticed a hunter sitting at a distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. The pigeons realized it was the hunter who had trapped them in the net.可知在地面上抛洒谷物的是那个“猎人”。 选B
    小题2:猜测词义题。上一段的最后提到猎人朝鸽子走过来，再结合领头鸽所说的话可推测它们此刻只有一种“选择”。 选B
    小题3:推理判断题。结合第三段领头鸽所说的话以及下一段第一句中的内容可推测它们落入圈套后相当镇静。根据常识可知如果鸽子朝四面八方飞，他们就不可能将网带起来，所以B 项不正确。 选C
    小题4:主旨大意题。群鸽在生命危急之时在领头鸽的带领下共同努力，最终摆脱了猎人的邪恶圈套，由此可知本文的主旨是“团队协作可以创造奇迹”。 A 项表示“两个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮”；B 项表示“自信可挽救每一个人”；D 项表示“事实胜于雄辩”，都不能很好地概括文章大意。选C

    Four years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord．She did it her way．
    I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly．Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven．I hated going there every weekend．There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception．
    My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables．The place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat．We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me．
    In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen．I sang the melody and Mom harmonized．Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over．Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk．She loved to tell how my playpen（婴儿圈栏）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower"．
    As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit every week or two．The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad．Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm．While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home．But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced．
    Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio．Music always comforted me．
    My heart skipped a beat．"Moon River" was playing on the radio．I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note．
    Then the radio announcer of this oldie station came on．"Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began．I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves．"Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower．．．．"

    I have been very lucky to have won the Nobel Prize twice. It is, of course, very exciting to have such an important recognition of my work, but the real pleasure was in the work itself. Scientific research is like an exploration of a voyage of discovery. You are continually trying out new things that have not been done before. Many of them will lead nowhere and you have to try something different, but sometimes an experiment does work and tells you something new and that is really exciting. However small the new finding may be, it is great to think “ I am the only person who knows this” and then you will have the fun of thinking what this finding will lead to and deciding what will be the next experiment. One of the best things about scientific research is that you are always doing something different and it is never boring. There are good times when things go well and bad times when they don’t. Some people get discouraged at the difficult times but when I have a failure, my policy has always been not to worry but to start planning the next experiment, which is always fun.
    It is very exciting to make a new discovery. Some people will do the strangest things for this excitement, such as going round the world in a balloon or walking to the North Pole. There are not many new places to explore but there is a lot of new information to be discovered in science and a journey into this unknown area can be much more worthwhile and just as exciting.
    I am sometimes asked, “What do you have to do to win a Nobel Prize?” My answer is: “I don’t know. I have never tried.” But I know of one way not to win one. There are some people whose main reason for doing science is to win prizes and they are always thinking about how to do it. Such people don’t succeed. To do good science you must be interested in it and enjoy doing experiments and thinking out problems. And, of course, you must be prepared to work hard and not to be too discouraged by failure.
    小题1:In the writer’s eyes his greatest pleasure in all his lifetime is _______.
    A．to win the Nobel Prize for the first time
    B．to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the second time.
    C．in the work itself
    D．to have a much more important recognition of his work.
    小题2:Why did the writer think scientific research to be one of the best things?
    A．You will be able to win the Nobel Prize through the scientific research
    B．You can make as much money as possible by doing the scientific research.
    C．You may continue doing with something different and exciting, so you can never be tired of doing the scientific research.
    D．You can get much more chances of promotion by making the scientific research.
    小题3:What would the writer do when he had a failure?
    A．He would forget this failure and start the next experiment.
    B．He used to be worried about it for several days and never forget it.
    C．He always gave up his study as the result of the failure.
    D．He used to think out the reasons and then continue to do it again.
    小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．The writer could still keep calm when he heard the news that he had won the Nobel Prize.
    B．The writer always gave up his courage when he met with some difficulties in the course of his scientific research.
    C．In the field of science there are still many new things which need to be studied further.
    D．There are still many exciting places to explore in the world.

    When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time, he read Goodnight Moon to a class of San Diego preschoolers. And it wasn’t reading－he’d memorized the book and was reciting it out loud. He was 4. Still, he said it felt good up there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand. He wanted more of that feeling.
    Thirteen years later, he’s getting a lot of it. He’s on a five-month road trip across America－not sightseeing, but volunteering.
    The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women’s shelter in St. Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson. This week he’s in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.
    “I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference,” he said. He resists the idea that his “Do Good Adventure” is all that unusual. It bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults,” he said, according to a 2002 study. “Not everybody knows that.”
    Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. But charity work is a habit with him. Even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering abut 200 hours a year at various places. He’s made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D.C.. He’s taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
    He gets some of that drive from his mother, Leslye Lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life. She was there when her son “read” to the preschoolers－a memory of hers “that will never go away.”
    小题1: What did Russell Lyons think of his first volunteering?
    A．Creative.B．Impressive.C．Persuasive.D．Imaginative.
    小题2:The third paragraph is meant to ______.
    A．indicate Russell Lyons is working as a volunteer
    B．introduce some tourist attractions across America
    C．appeal to volunteers to offer help to those in need
    D．show volunteers are needed in all parts of America
    小题3: According to Paragraph 4, Russell Lyons is against the idea that ______.
    A．what he has done is common
    B．most teens do volunteer work
    C．young people don’t work hard
    D．adults prefer to be volunteers
    小题4:Russell Lyons has been doing volunteer work because ______.    
    A．it is necessary for college applications
    B．he ought to keep his promise to Momit
    C．he likes the feeling of being praised
    D．has become a natural part of his life

    One day I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroad where the stoplight had just turned red.
    A young couple, both blind, were walking across the road. Each of them had a white cane(手杖). They were overcoming the most feared blindness. I held my breath when I noticed that the couple was not walking on the crosswalk, but was instead stepping directly into the middle of the crossroad. Without realizing the danger they were in, they were walking right into the path of the oncoming cars. I was frightened for them because I didn’t know if the other drivers understood what was happening. Then I saw a miracle unfold before my eyes. Every car in every direction came to a stop at the same time. Nobody can yelled, “Get out of the way!”
    Amazed, I noticed that everyone’s attention was also fixed on the couple. Suddenly the driver to my right reacted. He yelled, “To your right.”Other people followed, shouting, “To your right!”Trusting their elite canes and the calls from some concerned citizens, they made it to the other side of the road. I could judge they had no idea what was really going on around them. Yet I immediately felt smiles appeared on everyone’s face. The driver to the left of me was saying, “I can’t believe it!”
    I thought all of us were deeply moved by what we had just seen. Here were human beings stepping outsides themselves for a while to help other people in deed.
    小题1:When the author drove to work, he saw_________.
    A．some drivers were driving their cars very fast
    B．a couple failed to cross the road as usual
    C．most drivers drove in the same direction
    D．A blind couple was walking into the driveway
    小题2:What does the underlined word “miracle” in paragraph 2 refer to?
    A．Everybody told the blind couple to go to the right
    B．The blind couple avoided many cars by themselves
    C．The blind couple kept calm in danger
    D．Every car stopped for the blind couple
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that________.
    A．people felt a relief after the couple crossed the road
    B．the author was amazed at the expressions on the couple’s faces
    C．the couple’s quick crossing of the road surprised everyone
    D．calls from everyone made the couple realize their danger
