One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed am empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
“May I get you something?”
“A coffee would be nice.”
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
“Who?”
“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.
小題1:What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?
A．Unfriendly.B．Untidy.C．Gentle.D．Kind.

D．We should avoid judging people by their appearances.
小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:D
本文講述了“我”在吃早點(diǎn)的時(shí)候遇到一個(gè)看起來穿著邋遢的老人，并且?guī)椭I了一杯咖啡，事后得知他是最富有的Mr. Galbreath，旨在告訴我們不要以貌取人。。
小題1:.猜測詞義題。由上文中的I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man何下文中的He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. 可知disheveled在這兒是指儀容不整，穿著邋遢的意思。所以答案：選B項(xiàng)。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. 可以判斷選A項(xiàng)。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!可知，作者在他朋友告訴他那個(gè)老人是Mr. Galbreath之后感到很吃驚。由此判斷選C項(xiàng)。
小題4:主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity. 可知，作者想要表達(dá)的是不要以貌取人。由此判斷選D項(xiàng)。

When JetBlue captain Clayton Osbon became unpredictable, his co-pilot invented a reason for him to go back into the cabin．Once the captain was out of the cockpit （駕駛艙） , the co-pilot locked the door to keep the captain from returning．Passengers, some with law enforcement experience, calmed the captain．The flight changed course to Amarillo, Texas where the captain was hospitalized．
Incidents in which a pilot has had an in-flight psychological breakdown are rare．But how could it happen at all? Though pilots are required to have an examination at least once a year by a physician approved by the FAA, there are no formal procedures in place to test pilots for signs of psychological problems．
At most airlines, pilots are members of a union．A pilot who appears to have a psychological or an alcohol problem can be reported to a union member whose job it is to investigate．If there is a problem, the pilot is given the choice of getting treatment or being reported to management．But at airlines, such as Allegiant, JetBlue, and Virgin American where there is no union, pilots are – to say the least - unwilling to report a fellow pilot to management．
In most professions, a person experiencing emotional difficulties is free to consult a doctor．Rut an airline pilot in therapy is viewed with suspicion both by the airline and by the FAA．No pilot wants to be put under extra examination by an agency that has the power to revoke their license or end their employment．That being the case, pilots are less likely than people in other professions to seek help．
There may be no way to make sure this never happens again, but its possibility can be reduced． Tests such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory （ MMPI） can reliably detect depression, paranoia, schizophrenia, and other problems．The FAA could require pilots to take the MMPI or a similar test on a periodic basis．Whether such testing becomes required will depend upon the public's response to this incident and whether additional incidents take place．
Flying is remarkably safe．But incidents such as this cause concern．
小題1:What does the underlined word "revoke" most probably mean?
A．delayB．cancelC．interruptD．renew
小題2:Why are some pilots unwilling to report a fellow pilot to management?
A．Because they are tested for signs of psychological problems every year．
B．Because they are likely to be treated by physicians．
C．Because they are supported by the airlines．
D．Because they might be fired．
小題3:What is the author' s attitude towards the incident?
A．satisfiedB．indifferentC．concernedD．disapproving
小題4:In which part of the newspaper can the passage be found?
A．EntertainmentB．SportsC．BusinessD．Society

When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was totally deaf. But instead of sending me to a school for the deaf, they decided to “mainstream” me. All of my peers and teachers world have normal hearing.
I was the only deaf child at Blue Creel Elementary School. From almost the first day there, the other kids made fun of me mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. And I also had difficulty with most of my school work.
When the other kids made fun of me, I was sure that I was a bad person. I saw myself as a boy who wasn’t smart enough to keep up with the class.
Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.
One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand because I was sure I had the right answer. But when she called on me, I was afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. Maybe even impress my classmates a little. I didn’t want to blow it. despite my fears, I took a deep breath and answered Mrs. Jordan’s question.
I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan enthusiastically slammed （跺動(dòng)）her right foot on the floor and turned her tight hand around in full circle until it pointed directly at me. With sparking eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”
For the first time in my young life, I was a star. I sat a little taller in my chair.
From that day forward, my grades and speech improved greatly. My popularity among my peers increased. It was all because Mrs. Jordan believed in me and wasn’t afraid to express it. “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”
小題1:What does the underlined word “mainstream”(in Para 1) mean?
A．Encourage a disabled child to live a normal life.
B．Include a disabled child in an ordinary class.
C．Treat a disabled child with respect.
D．Teach a disabled child at home.
小題2:It can be inferred that when entering Blue Creek Elementary School, the writer     .
A．was not cleverB．could not focus on his study
C．lacked confidenceD．got along well with other kids
小題3:When the writer answered Mrs. Jordan’s question, he        .
A．trembled with fearB．stayed calm
C．was nervousD．was excited
小題4:From his experience, the writer may conclude that       .

Thirty-two people watched kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow man?
Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe（探查） the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency(緊急情況).
　　Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma （昏迷） from diabetes（糖尿�。�? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
　　Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
小題1:The purpose of this passage is_________.
A．to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
B．to explain when people will act in emergencies
C．to explain what people will do in emergencies
D．to explain how people feel in emergencies
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.
B．When a person tries to help others, he should know whether hey are worth his help.
C．A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.
D．A person with a heart attack needs the most.
小題3: The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when__________.
A．they are in pairs　　B．they are in groups
C．they are alone 　　　D．they are with their friends
小題4:The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that _________.
A．they are afraid of emergencies
B．they are reluctant to get themselves involved
C．others will act if they themselves hesitate
D．they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help

Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.
小題1:Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text?
A．To remember both of them.B．To prove their wisdom.
C．To introduce the topic of the text.D．To explain their relationships.
小題2:According to the text, how old was Philo when he finished his invention of TV?
A．27 years old.B．21 years old.C．33 years oldD．39 years old
小題3:Philo Farnsworth got the idea for TV from ______.
A．the radioB．science booksC．potato fieldsD．a(chǎn) machine
小題4: The underlined part “building up” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A．startingB．sellingC．putting upD．making bigger
小題5:Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Two rich men gave Philo money to do experiments.
b. Philo sold his own company.
c. Philo beat RCA in law.
d. Philo fixed broken radios.
e. Philo showed his invention to others.
