Hobbs was an orphan(孤兒). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work changed him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day the lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded（目瞪口呆的）. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place of the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will（遺囑）,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”

It was the first snow of winter — an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(課間休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf(圍巾) were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子). In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced，“They’re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said，“These aren’t my boots, you know.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said，“They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!” Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying(煩人的) little girl．She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?’’
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots.”
小題1:According to the passage, the little girl got_______from her brother.
A．the wool snow pants and the jacket
B．the jacket and the boots
C．the jacket and the hat
D．the boots and the gloves
小題2:Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A．Because the little girl played a trick on her.
B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
小題3:We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_________.
A．was losing confidence in the little girl
B．gradually lost patience with the little girl
C．because disappointed with the little girl
D．was getting bored with the little girl
小題4:It can be inferred(推斷) that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of      winter，the teacher had to help her put on her boots __________.
A．onceB．twiceC．three timesD．four times

Lee Humberg, district manager for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, is the man in charge of figuring out how to remove the flocks (群) of 15,000 to 20,000 Canada geese(大雁) that could strike planes flying in and out of the New York area. The Port Authority, the agency that manages airport in New York and New Jersey, estimates that there have been as many as 315 bird strikes annually in the past 30 years.
Bird strikes have been a hot topic since a US Airways jet suffered a “double strike” and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in January 2009. All 155 passengers were rescued safely and the flight was called “Miracle on the Hudson”. The plane finally ended up at the Carolinas Aviation Museum. The next major bird strike may not have such a happy ending.
To thin the flocks, Humberg and his team have tracked down goose nests and killed eggs with corn oil. They’ve also terrified the birds with dogs, remote-controlled boats and kites that look like eagles. But the only method that effectively decreases the goose population is the one that angers animal lovers the most: gassing hundreds at a time.
“If all you are doing is goose harassment (騷擾) every day, it’s very frustrating, because you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds,” Humberg told New York magazine. “It’s basically an arms race to come up with the tools to deal with them.”
Now New York City plans to send the geese captured to Pennsylvania to be cooked and distributed at food banks as meals for the poor. That might just be a fate better than flying into a 747 engine.
小題1:What can we learn form Humberg?
A．He does research on geese’s living conditions.
B．He makes efforts to protect wild birds.
C．He deals with the danger of birds at airports.
D．He tries to find newer and safer airlines.
小題2:Why was the flight called “Miracle on the Hudson”?
A．It suffered a “double strike”.B．It arrived at a plane museum.
C．It only caused a few deaths.D．It succeeded in landing on a river.
小題3:By saying “you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds”, Humberg means ______.
A．It’s interesting to fight with the birds
B．It’s a skill-needed race against the birds
C．you can’t defeat the bird in the end
D．you should live with birds peacefully
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．Canada geese can fly as high as planes
B．New York airlines are in poor management
C．bird strikes happen once a week on average
D．the poor may also benefit from Humberg’s work

Michael Jackson fans are coming a Chicago museum to see a 3,000 year old Egyptian statue which looks remarkably like the late king of pop. Staff have been rushed off their feet since Jackson's death as thousands of mourners visit the exhibition to pay tribute to the star.
The statue has skinny cheeks and - most strikingly - a tipless nose. It is on display at the Ancient Egypt exhibition at The Field Museum in the United States. The bust(半身像) was bought in Cairo in 1889 and has been on display at the museum for 21 years.
But its popularity has risen rapidly since Michael Jackson's death after fans started writing about the ancient statue on internet blogs. The bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period, which ran between 1550 BC to 1050 BC. This was around the same time as famous Egyptians Ramesses and King Tut.
The museum's 4,500 daily visitors are banned from touching or kissing the statue, which is protected behind a glass screen. Astonished fans stand admiring the statue and discussing its likeness with others who have travelled to see it.
Darnell Williams, the director of guest relations, said some fans were treating a visit to the museum like a pilgrimage(朝圣). He said: "The statue has been here for years but interest has been raised since Michael Jackson's death. People are coming from all over the country to see the statue and compare its likeness to the king of pop.
"They want to touch and kiss the model like it is some sort of God but it is behind a screen to protect it from damage. Once people see it they are astounded and can't stop talking about its likeness. It really is remarkable."
James Phillips, manager of near east and north African exhibits, said little was known about the origins of the model.
He said: "The likeness is astonishing but I think it is probably a coincidence. We do not believe Michael Jackson ever visited the museum or saw the exhibit and there is therefore little chance he based his image on it. We believe the model is missing a nose because early Christians or Muslims removed noses from paintings and models to make them non-human.
小題1:Many people are streaming to see the Egyptian statue to ­­­­­_______.
A．satisfy their curiosity
B．show their respect to Jackson
C．enjoy the splendid Egyptian culture
D．learn about the history of Egyptian
小題2:The underlined words “rushed off their feet” in the first paragraph mean”______”.
A．extremely busyB．rather tired
C．very annoyedD．quite surprised
小題3:The statue is rapidly getting popular mainly because of ________.
A．Jackson’s deathB．its archaeological value
C．the InternetD．its long history
小題4:It can be inferred that the exhibits at the Ancient Egypt exhibition are classified by _________.
A．a(chǎn)geB．a(chǎn)reaC．kindD．value

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(發(fā)送垃圾郵件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(個(gè)人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
小題1:According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?    
A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications.
B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail.
C．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
D．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.
小題2:According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?             
A．The businessB．The advertiserC．The consumerD．The employee
小題3:What is the purpose of the text?
A．To informB．To educateC．To instruct D．To persuade

My husband can plan wonderful surprise celebrations for me.Recently，however，I told him I didn’t want him to plan one for my upcoming birthday.
“Why？” he asked.
“I am embarrassed being the center of attention，”  I quickly explained.
Later，I began to think more deeply about this reason. Then I remembered the surprise celebration I had planned for my friend Nancy on her 60th birthday. We  were roommates on a three­week tour following the Silk Road on those famous steppes  (大草原)—and through the  mountains—of central Asia.
That  afternoon  we  had  arrived  at  our  hotel  in Samarkand，Uzbekistan. The young man at the hotel desk told me about a bakery about 10 minutes away. After giving me detailed directions，he added，“Your nose will let you know when you arrive there.”
The temperature was 40 ℃.Soon，my_olfaction proved to be an unfailing guide. Outside the bakery，a delicious smell greeted me.
There were several kinds of breads，cookies，and cakes on display. There were also beautiful iced cakes. I chose a cake topped with powdered sugar.
Later at the Karim Bek Restaurant，Nancy didn’t see the young waiter walk up the steps with the cake.When I began singing“Happy Birthday，”everyone at our table—except Nancy—joined in.
It took her a moment to realize what was happening. Then the grinning (咧嘴笑的)  guest of honor thanked me，blew out the candles on the cake，and ate three pieces of it.
Today，after reliving this experience in my mind，I told my husband to ignore my request.I now understand what a surprise party is about：It is not about having a surprise party but rather the delight in giving it. That is what brings the satisfying joy.
小題1:Why did the author go to the bakery?
A．To get some bread for her journey.
B．To experience the local taste in Samarkand.
C．To buy a birthday cake for her friend.
D．To eat some iced cakes to cool herself down.
小題2:The underlined words “my olfaction” in Paragraph 7 most probably refer to________.
A．the waiter at the hotel
B．the author’s sense of smell
C．the author’s friend
D．the author’s map
小題3:The party held at the Karim Bek Restaurant was________.
A．very successfulB．a(chǎn) little simple
C．quite boring D．too noisy
小題4:From the last paragraph we learn that now the author________.
A．becomes less interested in surprise parties
B．thinks surprise parties are embarrassing
C．enjoys giving others surprises
D．realizes the true meaning of surprise parties
小題5:From the passage，we can NOT infer that________.
