【題目】It's a Saturday morning,and I am eager to fly away.My husband and I will meet up with our son on the other side of the country to learn and explore together.Sitting now at the airport gate,my husband wanders away to stretch his legs.Moments later,he returns and whispers in my ear.I rise and follow him around the comer toward a large window facing the landing area.

On the road,Marines stand straight and the plane door is open.A white hearse(靈車）is parked nearby.A man and a soldier stand on either side of a woman,supporting her and waiting for what is to come.Airport personnel stand in reverent stillness.A few people place their hands over their hearts,as I have done.We're joined in witness,sending respect to an honorable soldier whose name we'll never know.

The woman looks heartbroken.She cries,knowing she will never hear "Mom”from her son. She'll never feel his tender embrace or enjoy his sweet peck on her cheeks.Another man's face is twisted because of the grief.His son,the tiny boy he no doubt wrestled playfully,the teen he probably taught to drive,and the son he stood so proudly by,now lives only in his memory.

Those behind the glass stay silent,reflecting on this loss,as the family and soldiers leave.Some of us women, with sorrowful expressions,move slowly away,sharing a mother's profound grief Soon,each of us will fly off in planes and return to an ordinary life made extraordinary by this soldier's courage.by this family's sacrifice and by this love shared by all that look out of the window

A. Because he wanted to meet his son.

B. Because he wanted to feel more comfortable by walking around.

D. Because he wanted to enjoy beautiful scenery.

【2】How did the author feel about the scene of the landing area?

B. Soldier's courage moved us at the airport

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】作者和丈夫準(zhǔn)備坐飛機(jī)去見兒子。在候機(jī)時，在機(jī)場目睹了一個悲痛欲絕的家庭在機(jī)場迎接陣亡兒子的靈柩從而由感而發(fā)。

【1】Ｂ

推理判斷。由第三段的第三句“my husband wanders away to stretch his legs”可知丈夫是想活動一下，讓自己舒服一點(diǎn)（feel more comfortable） by walking around。故Ｂ是正確的。

【2】Ａ

歸納總結(jié)。第二段最后一句“We're joined in witness,sending respect to an honorable soldier whose name we'll never know”我們一起加入了人群，向不知名的尊敬的士兵表示敬意。及最后一段的第二句“as the family and soldiers leave.Some of us women, with sorrowful expressions,move slowly away,sharing a mother's profound grief” 我們中的一些女性，帶著悲傷的表情，慢慢走開，分享母親的悲痛。從這兩句可歸納出作者看到個場景時是悲傷和表示尊敬的（Sorrowful and respectful. ）。Surprised and interested驚訝的和感興趣的。Curious and thrilled. 好奇和興奮。Frightened and worried. 害怕和擔(dān)心。故選A

【3】Ｃ

推理判斷題。文章最后一段最后一句：很快，我們每個人會坐飛機(jī)離開并返回一個普通的生活，而這種普通的生活由于這個士兵的勇氣，這個家庭的犧牲和所有那些有愛的、透過窗外觀看的人們而變得不平凡起來。以及本文中作者表現(xiàn)出對英雄士兵的尊敬。綜上所述可推斷出作者高度評價了（thought highly of）軍人及其家屬。作者是去見兒子的，所以A是錯的。B項說那個可敬的士兵小時候喜歡摔跤，文中沒有涉及。D項說機(jī)場的人們由于事件而悲痛不已是事實但不是推斷出的。故選C項。

【4】Ｄ

主旨大意題�？v觀全文可知。作者及其丈夫在去與兒子見面的機(jī)場上見證了一個家庭在機(jī)場接去世的兒子——個陣亡的士兵的靈柩的歸來。即一個陣亡的士兵和他的家人團(tuán)聚（A fallen soldier reunited with his family）。 A項我在機(jī)場看到傷心的父母。B項士兵的勇氣在機(jī)場使我們感動。C項向一個可敬的士兵表示敬意。ABC都只是其中的一個細(xì)節(jié)。只有D是主旨大意。

【題目】Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week, we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”

Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water-at very high prices.

“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said. The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.

The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

【1】The purpose of the text is to _______.

A. tell us what life is like in Yemen

B. draw our attention to water shortage

C. remind us how important water is

D. show us ways of solving problems

【2】The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to .

A. buying water from shops

B. drinking dirty water

C. suffering from water shortage

D. washing clothes with used water

【3】Hannan described .

A. what her life is like

B. how beautiful Lahej is

C. how people use water fully

D. how heavy the traffic in Lahej is

【4】We can infer from the text that .

A. Sanaa will run out of water in 10 years

B. Hannan is a teenager from a rich family

C. the capital of Yemen is developing fast

D. private companies make a lot of money

【題目】Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only do the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.

Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps (帶子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags(拉桿包).

But even with rolling bags, getting upstairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs or necks because of the heavy school bags.

But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.

Scott Bautch, a doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.

Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!

【1】From the passage we can know that .

A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags

B. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

C. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags

D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

【2】If a child carries a heavy school bag, .

A. his back or neck will be hurt B. his head and arms will be hurt

C. his hands will be hurt D. his feet will be hurt

【3】According to Scott Bautch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.

A. 5 kilos B. 3 kilos

C. 5.5 kilos D. 4.5 kilos

【4】Some students think the best answer to this problem is that .

A. they should have a little homework to do after they get home

B. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework

C. they should only take home library books they will read that night

D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones

【題目】七選五。

【1】 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 【2】 .

The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 【3】 It included such items as automobiles and new houses.

By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “l(fā)ife-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “l(fā)uxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 【4】

On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?

A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 【5】 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

A. Then a third level appeared.

B. Different people have different wants on each level.

C. There are several levels of wants in one’s life.

D. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears

E. At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.

F. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

G. Human wants seem endless.
