第三節(jié)：閱讀理解（共25小題; 每小題2分, 滿分50分）
It was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling（爆裂聲）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn (草坪).
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to woke her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
1．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
A．He wanted to find out what was happening.  
B．He was worried about his mother’s safety.
C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.    
D．He went to see if his father had come back from work.
2．How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?
A．By throwing water all over her and her bed.    
B．By carrying her to safety with his brother.
C．By pushing and pulling at her.              
D．By tying a string to her hand.
3．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
A．Glenn.    B．Glenn’s father.     C．Glenn’s sister.    D．Glenn’s neighbor.
4．What did Glenn do to protect himself?
A．He put a wet cloth around his head.      B．He threw water all over himself.
C．He hid himself in the bathroom.         D．He rushed out to the lawn.
5．Glenn saved his family because___________.
A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone   
B．he had learned something about first aid
C．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely 
D．he had followed his mother’s instruction

A
Have you ever heard your own voice? “Of course,” you say.
Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, “Of course.”
But that’s not quite true. Nobody else has ever heard your voice-the way you hear it. When you talk, you set up sound waves The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears. But, of course, the sound of your voice begins inside your head. The bones of your head pick up the sound waves, too. They carry the sound waves straight to your inner ears. You get the sound from the outside and the inside too. Other people get just the sound waves from the outside. That is why they don’t hear your voice the way you do.

第三部分　閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Aren’t they all our children?
There are few things in this life more difficult to experience than the loss of one’s child. Jim Wallis, in WHO SPEAKS FOR GOD, tells a story that happened during the war in Sarajevo. A reporter who was covering the violence in the middle of the city saw a little girl shot by a gunman.
The reporter rushed to the aid of a man who was now holding the child. He helped them both into his car and sped off to a hospital.  
“Hurry, my friend,” the man urged, “my child is still alive.” A moment or two later he pleaded, “Hurry, my friend, my child is still breathing.” A little later he said, “Hurry, my friend, my child is still warm.”
When they got to the hospital, the young girl was gone. “This is a terrible task for me,” the distraught man said to the reporter. “I must go and tell her father that his child is dead.”
He looked at the man in surprise and said, “I thought she was your child.”
The man replied, “No, but aren't they all our children?”
I think that is one of the great questions of our age that deserves an answer.
Aren’t they all our children? Those on our side of the border as well as those on the other side? Those of our nation no more or less than those of another?
Aren’t they all our children? The well-educated and the under-educated? The well-fed and the under-fed? Those who are secure and those who are at risk?
Aren’t they all our children? if we say yes, can we ever again pit them against each other? “If we have no peace,” said Mother Teresa, “it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
There may be no greater question for our generation. And how we answer that question will determine the shape of our world for years to come.
51. What was the reporter doing when the shooting took place?
A. Telling a story.              B. Having a meeting. 
C. Reporting an event.          D. Helping the wounded.
52. From the text we know the girl died        .
A. in the hospital         B. with nobody in front 
C. soon after the shooting   D. far away from her home
53. How many people experienced the sad story?
A. Three.              B. Four.       C. Five.         D. Six.
54. Which can best express the point of a yes to the question “Aren’t they all our children?”
A. Health.       B. Love.  C. Wealth.     D. Peace.

     Nobody knows for absolute certainty all the details of the life of Aesop. However, scholars have
been working to established some facts and this is the brief story of Aesop as it is accepted today.
     Aesop was born a slave around the year 620 B.C. In Ancient Greece , it was a privilege and
tradition of freedmen to be interested in public affairs, so Aesop worked hard to raise himself from a
servile slave's position to a high position of renown. He was a thinker and philosopher and eventually
became widely admired.
     Aesop was a smart man and a good speaker. He liked to learn and to also teach people, so he
traveled through many countries. He came to Sardis, the capital of the famous king Croesus of Lydia
who was a patron of learning and learned men.
     Croesus was so impressed by Aesop that he invited Aesop to permanently reside at Sardis. The
king hired Aesop to do diplomatic government work such as trying to establish peace between the
various republics of Greece. Aesop reconciled the inhabitants of these cities by telling his wise fables.
     It was on one of these ambassadorial missions that Aesop was killed. Croesus had sent him to
Delphi with lots of gold which was to be distributed among the citizens. After talking with the people
of Delphi, Aesop got so mad at the citizens because of their covetousness. He refused to divide the
money and instead sent it back to his master. The Delphians were so mad they executed Aesop as a
public criminal.
     As it often happens in Greek history, the Delphians were visited by a series of calamities as a sort
of retribution for Aesop's death. This is where the phrase "the blood of Aesop" originated. The saying
means "wrongful deeds will not go unpunished".
     In memory of Aesop, a statue was erected in Athens. The statue was created by the famous Greek
sculptor, Lysippus.
1. Why did Aesop work so hard?
A. Because he wanted to be an official.  
B. Because he desired to join in public affairs.
C. Because he wanted to make more money.  
D. Because he wanted to write wise fables.
2. According to Paragraph 3, Aesop traveled through many countries to __________.
A. spread knowledge  
B. seek help    
C. admire the scenery  
D. collect facts
3. Croesus hired Aesop to _________.
A. establish relations with other republics    
B. handle interal affairs of Lydia

A. Strong-willed.    
B. Generous.
