【題目】 When my son, Tony, was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival (狂歡節(jié)) in our town. He didn’t come home at lunchtime and got back for supper as usual after he finished his work.

I asked him where he had lunch and he told me he made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them with their chores (雜務(wù)).

I was glad Tony found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, they’re normal people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself,” he said.

So the next day I went to the carnival. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (連體的) twins, joined at the chest. Tony didn’t think this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe,the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面條) for lunch.”

What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.

【1】Why didn’t Tony go home for lunch?

A.Because his mother hoped not.

B.Because he wanted to have a rest.

C.Because his friends invited him for lunch. .

D.Because he had to finish the work before noon.

【2】The author was pleased that ________.

A.her son found a small job and made money

B.her son found new friends during the carnival

C.her son didn’t come back home for lunch

D.her son could do some help to their travelers

【3】In the author’s opinion, the people who are traveling in a carnival are ________.

A.friendly.B.rich.

C.normal.D.unreliable.

【4】From the text we may infer that ________.

A.Tony is a kind and honest boy

B.the author couldn't make clothes for her son

C.a child’s opinion is always different from his mother’s

D.the author and her son are not getting on well with each other

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者的兒子交到了連體嬰朋友，作者擔(dān)心自己的兒子，但他兒子認(rèn)為連他們只是普通人，而且他們做飯很好吃，這給作者上了一課。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them with their chores (雜務(wù)).”可知，新朋友邀請(qǐng)他去吃午飯來回報(bào)他幫忙做雜物。故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句中“I was glad Tony found new friends”可知，作者很高興孩子能在狂歡節(jié)找到新朋友。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中I was glad Tony found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, they’re normal people like anyone else.可知，作者擔(dān)心可能在狂歡節(jié)旅行的這種類型的人，兒子解釋說他們是正常人，由此可推測(cè)，作者認(rèn)為在狂歡節(jié)旅行的人是不可靠的。故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中Tony didn’t think this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks.(Tom并不認(rèn)為這個(gè)事實(shí)值得關(guān)注。當(dāng)我指出來時(shí)，他說：“是的，我也注意到了。你知道嗎？他們的媽媽必須做所有的衣服因?yàn)楹茈y買到任何適合的。他們也是很好的廚師) ”及最后一段中“Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks.(我看到的是連體雙胞胎，他看到的是人們很難買適合的衣服，看到的是年輕人是很好的廚師。)”可知，兒子雖然注意到了連體雙胞胎的異樣，但是他更關(guān)注的是雙胞胎母親的不易和雙胞胎的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，由此可推知兒子是誠實(shí)善良的。故選A項(xiàng)。

【題目】Diets have changed in China — and so too has its top crop. Since 2011,the country 【1】（grow）more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 【2】 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent.

【題目】Three miles is short by car, but when the three miles consists of an old wooden fence on a cattle farm that requires a fresh coat of paint, it's not a short distance any more. For the final week of summer heading into my first year of college, painting this fence was a disaster for me. At first it seemed like the most boring way to spend the last week of my wonderful freedom from school, but it actually turned out to be something intriguing.

Luckily, I wasn't alone in this task; I got the help of Rob, the farm manager. When two people were stuck under the sun of August in the middle of rural Kentucky for ten hours a day, there wasn't much to do to help pass the time. Standing in front of this fence was the last thing on Earth I wanted to do. I worked with Rob all these days, spending over hours with him with nothing to do but a boring task, and all we had for amusement was conversation. In a society filled with constant entertainment, this was a huge contrast.

It started out simply, and we talked about the weather, sports, and how annoying it was to get the fence painted. As the week progressed, so did our topics of discussion. From family and funny childhood stories to our hobbies and dreams, we began to know more about each other. We shared personal stories with each other, little pieces of our past and ourselves. I had spent plenty of time with people whether it was about sporting events, movies, or concerts, but never had I spent so much time with one person with absolutely nothing to break the silence. It was uncomfortable at first, but things changed.

Sometimes we tried to keep ourselves busy, entertained, or from getting bored. There is a deeper connection you get with people when all you're doing is talking. For a moment, you get an inside look into their mind, heart and soul. This is what humans are good at—sharing themselves. Whether we realize it or not, this is happening all the time all around us.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, what does the underlined word “intriguing” mean?

A. Expected. B. Interesting.

C. Unfortunate. D. Disappointing.

【2】At first, the writer felt uncomfortable when he was with Rob because .

A. Rob was very unfriendly to him

B. Rob asked him to do too much work

C. Rob didn’t know how to entertain others

D. Rob didn’t like to communicate with him

【3】What does the writer try to convey in this article?

A. It is human nature to pursue happiness.

B. Conversation can bring people closer together.

C. We should often practice our communication skills.

D. Working during vacation can bring people much fun.

【題目】One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like“I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say,“I was wrong, and you were right about that.”

I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons.) Then he related an incident (event, matter) and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.

I was about eight years old at the time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.

There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.

The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.

【1】Which is the correct order of the following?

a. I forgot all about the incident.

b. I went into the store.

c. A woman knocked off the egg cartons.

d. I stood in front of the egg cartons.

e. The manager reminded me of the incident.

f. The manager didn't believe my explanation.

g. I picked up the unbroken eggs.

A. b; d; g; c; a; f; e B. b; d; c; g; f; e; a

C. b; c; d ;g; e; f; a D. b; d; c; g; f; a; e

【2】The word “reprimanded” in the last paragraph most exactly means “_________ ”.

A. frightened B. scolded

C. warned D. comforted

【3】The best title for this passage should be________ .

A. A Case of Mistake B. The Manager I Never Forget

C. The Manager and I D. An Incident 15 Years Ago
