【題目】閱讀理解
When her five daughters were young, Helen An always told them that there was strength in unity (團(tuán)結(jié)). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helen An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helen and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helen and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helen did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $ 20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
（1）Helen tied several chopsticks together to show ________.
A.the strength of family unity
B.the difficulty of growing up
C.the advantage of chopsticks
D.the best way of giving a lesson
（2）We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ________.
A.started a business in 1975
B.left Vietnam without much money
C.bought a restaurant in San Francisco
D.opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles
（3）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.How to Run a Corporation
B.Strength Comes from Peace
C.How to Achieve a Big Dream
D.Family Unity Builds Success

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）D
【解析】本文是一篇議論文，論述了團(tuán)結(jié)力量大的道理。
(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.“這個家庭團(tuán)聚的教訓(xùn)伴隨著女兒們成長，可知，媽媽這樣做是要告訴孩子們團(tuán)結(jié)的力量。故選A。
(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“they didn't have much money”她們沒有什么錢，可知，他們離開越南時，沒有什么錢。故選B。
(3)考查主旨大意。文章通過講述來自越南的Helen An家族靠著三代人團(tuán)結(jié)一心，在美國成就了一番大事業(yè)的故事告訴我們：團(tuán)結(jié)就是力量。故選D。

【題目】Everyone, please imagine, a big explosion breaks out as the plane takes us high in the sky. The plane is full of smoke and the engine sounds scary. Two minutes later, the engines are turned off. We are now sitting in a plane with no sound. And we can see: Life is over.

That really happened. In January 2009, I had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York.

Now let me tell you the three things I learned when the silence came.

First, I thought about all the people I wanted to reach out to but didn’t. I thought about all the experiences I wanted to have but never did. I no longer wanted to put off anything in life. Second, I really regretted the time I wasted on things that did not matter. I decided to remove negative energy from my life. Third, I realized, wow, dying was not scary. But it was very sad just because I only wished I could have seen my kids grow up.

Fortunately, I was given the gift of a miracle of not dying that day. I was given another gift, with which I was to see into the future and come back and live differently.

About a month later, my wife and I were at a performance by my daughter, not much artistic talent. Yet, I’m crying. I realized that above all, the only goal in my life was to be a good father.

Audience, again, imagine the same thing happening on your plane. How would you change? What would you get done? And more than anything, are you being the best parent you can?

Thank you.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Air crash is always a tragedy.

B. What I learned from the air crash.

C. Life is a miracle as we imagine.

D. How to become a good father.

【2】When does the idea “Life is over” come into being?

A. Exactly during the explosion.

B. When the plane was full of smoke.

C. Before the engines sounded scary.

D. When the engines were turned off.

【3】What is the author’s final goal in life?

A. Never to put off anything in life.

B. To remove negative energy from life.

C. To see his daughter grow up.

D. To be a good father.

【4】What type of writing is this text?

A. A speech on one’s air travel experience.

B. An emergency crash-landing guide.

C. An introduction of an adventure novel.

D. A safety training for air passengers.
