【題目】閱讀下面短文, 根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。

On Friday evening, Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled. After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie.

When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “ Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat.

I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave.

When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape (魔法斗篷). With the cape around him, he could completely disappear.

I crawled (緩慢行進) back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!”

“Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints.

“Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.

“Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me.

“Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink.

“Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.”

“Shhhh!” everyone said again.

“OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out.

“Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said.

【題目】Liu Qian, a magician from Taiwan, cast his spell (魔法) over an audience of thousands on the CCTV Spring Festival Show. Die-hard fans are still trying to work out the secrets behind many of the tricks he performed.

But Liu, 32, when asked, laughed off the idea that there might be an "answer" to his magic. "The most fascinating thing is the puzzling process. People enjoy how magicians make the impossible come true, " said Liu.

Few people today believe in the possibility of real magic. They also often fail to consider magicians' devotion to their art. It can take a magician years' of practice to perfect a trick before he performs it on stage.

Part of Liu's star appeal is his astonishing skill. However, when he began in the industry, he was all embarrassingly clumsy. "I could practice thousands of times for one single act. It wasn't much fun, " he said.

No magician's supernatural powers on stage extend to their life off stage. Liu says his life was no easier or funnier because he was a magician.

He developed an interest in magic at a young age, but didn't consider making a living out of it until he graduated from university. He had studied Japanese and found himself unable to find a job. "My parents never considered being a magician as a proper job. To begin with, I had little confidence I would be doing this in the long term, " he said.

Yet Liu felt a powerful calling to become a magician. "For many people, magic somehow means a miracle, which is something we all secretly wish for no matter how hard-bitten we become, " he said

Liu may be right. A popular modern dream is of the fairy godmother, who waves her magic wand (魔杖) and makes our dreams come true. But according to Liu, we all have the power to create magic in our lives. As Liu puts it: it's not the magic that makes it work; it's the way we work that makes it magic.

【1】According to the passage, we can tell that __________.

A. being a famous magician, Liu Qian leads a comfortable life

B. it is a hard job for magicians to perform magic tricks well

C. Liu Qian's parents supported his wish to be a magician

D. Liu Qian showed great talents for magic tricks when he first took it up

【2】Talking of whether there's real magic, Liu Qian believes __________.

A. there is no real magic and what counts in our life is the way we work

B. if we secretly wish for something, magic will turn out to be a miracle

C. the puzzling process of performing magic tricks is the answer to magic

D. there exists a fairy godmother waving her magic wand to make our dreams come true

【3】Which of the following is similar to the underlined sentence in meaning?

A. All roads lead to Rome.

B. A miss is as good as a mile.

C. Every dog has his day.

D. No pains, no gains.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Magic Power by Liu Qian

B. The Magic Skill

C. A Popular Magician—Liu Qian

D. How to Be a Successful Magician

【5】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Liu Qian is a born magician.

B. Liu Qian studied magic at university.

C. Liu Qian became successful mainly because he was hardworking.

D. Godmother helped him.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

奧朗德

President Normal

(2012年洛陽二模)BEFORE Nicolas Sarkozy became French president，he was asked if he thought about presidency when he looked in the mirror while shaving(刮胡子)．“Not just when I'm shaving，”he answered.

When Francois Hollande，now presidentelect(總統(tǒng)當選人)of France，was asked the same question，he replied：“Do I see myself as president？No，I am a presidential candidate.A candidate must not think himself president；he must give hope that he becomes president.”

Hollande has promised to be a“normal(普通的) president”－something Sarkozy certainly was not.Sarkozy celebrated his election in 2007 at a worldclass Parisian restaurant.He took holidays on the yachts(游艇)of wealthy businesspeople.Hollande，by contrast，was still going around Paris on his threewheeled motorbike at the start of this year.One member of his party said he looked“more like a pizza delivery man”than the next president.

“That is the key to Hollande's success because the election is turning into a sort of referendum(公民投票)for or against Nicolas Sarkozy，”Eric Dupin，a journalist and political observer(觀察員)told Global Post.“Francois Hollande is the one who appears not only as his main opponent(對手)politically，but also as his complete opposite psychologically(心理上)．”

When he was the Socialist party leader，Hollande was nicknamed“the marshmallow(軟糖)”because he hated fights.Sarkozy，by contrast，is known to be loud and aggressive(好斗的)．

When faced with Sarkozy's verbal attacks during the election，Hollande stayed calm.This sometimes annoyed even his own supporters.“I wish he would just let go and savage(用暴力對付)Sarko，”one Hollande voter said to the Guardian.

But Hollande still knows how to fight.Stéphane Le Foll，a Sicialist MEP who has been one of Hollande's closest advisors for 17 years and is codirecting his campaign，said Hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid(投標) for 10 years.“I think we all underestimated(低估)this guy，”Alain Minc，one of Sarkozy's closest friends and advisers，told Reuters.

Hollande was born in 1954 into a middleclass family.He lived through the 1968 protests(抗議)that nearly overthrew(推翻)the French government.“They shocked him，but also politicized him，he said in a recent interview，making him understand that change was possible，”reported the New York Times.When Hollande was 15，he told friends he expected to become president.

“I didn't come to the first rank either by chance or by obsession(執(zhí)迷)，”Hollande said in an interview with Reuters.“I got there because I put myself in this situation，and because I deserved (值得的；應(yīng)受的)it.”

【1】By citing Hollande and Sarkozy's replies to the same question，the author intends to show ________.

A．Sarkozy is more confident than Hollande

B．Hollande is more modest than Sarkozy

C．Hollande is less ambitious than Sarkozy

D．Sarkozy is more humorous than Hollande

【2】What is the key to Hollande's success in the presidential election according to Eric Dupin?

A．His dislike of fights.

B．His careful plan for the presidential bid.

C．How different he is form Sarkozy.

D．The gentle way in which he ran his campaign.

【3】How did Hollande react to Sarkozy's verbal attacks according to the article?

A．He fought back violently.

B．He got annoyed on the spot.

C．He didn't say anything.

D．He dealt with them calmly.

【4】What did Hollande think he owed his success to，according to the article?

A．His good luck.

B． His devotion and efforts.

C．His obsession with politics.

D．His personality and experience.

【5】What is the purpose of the article?

A．To show what kind of person Hollande is.

B．To compare the differences between Hollande and Sarkozy

C．To show what French people think of Hollande.

D．To explain why Sarkozy lost the election.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

B

When I was 13，my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and the Beatles.I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities(名人)；my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy！But after a few years，my obsession(迷戀) with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager，celebrity worship(崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows，and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet.It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome(綜合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars，parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting.Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family.When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment，this is considered normal celebrity worship.However，when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star，this may be the time for concern.Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low selfconfidence and depression.Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

【1】The first paragraph is intended to tell us ________.

A．it's normal for a teen to have celebrity worship

B．celebrity worship can cause serious problems

C．parents needn't worry about celebrity worship

D．celebrity worship only exists among teens

【2】We learn from the second paragraph that ________.

A．teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities

B．the author is surprised at celebrity worship

C．the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today

D．celebrities expose their lives too much

【3】Parents should become concerned when their children ________.

A．talk a lot about celebrities with others

B．put up celebrity posters on their bedroom walls

C．a(chǎn)sk to go to their favorite star's concert

D．desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star

【4】The last paragraph implies that ________.

A．parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship

B．celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked

C．children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

D．children with celebrity worship usually have a high opinion of themselves

【5】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

A．The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

B．More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.

C．What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.

D．Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.
