The Long Room houses one of the oldest harps(豎琴) in Ireland. Dating to the 15th century, the old harp is the model for the symbol of Ireland.
Geisel Library, University of California: San Diego, United States

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking,and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I'm making you a surprise.” I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the busyness of our new life , I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window,I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番紅花)throughout the front lawn — blue, yellow and my favorite pink,with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father's crocuses bloomed each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with the usual blooms but the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs (植物球莖). But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn't bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.
(1)Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.
B.The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.
C.The author often thought about her father after he died.
D.The author's father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.
(2)According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that ______.
A.it was not the first time that the author's father had made a surprise
B.the author was unpacking when her father was making the surprise
C.it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise was
D.the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father
(3)The author's father should be best described as ______.
A.a part-time worker who loved flowers
B.a kind-hearted man who lived with faith
C.a full-time gardener with skillful hands
D.an ordinary man with doubts in his life
(4)What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Crocuses — My Source of Faith
B.Crocuses— Father's Surprise
C.A Pink Crocus — My Memory
D.Crocuses in Blossom — My Favorite

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
How the Grand Canyon (大峽谷) was created remains one of the geology's greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead.
Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤壩) bursts.
Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔巖) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon.
Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers.
The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon.
The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet.
(1)In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______.
A.as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes
B.due to river flows over millions of years
C.owing to the burst of artificial dams
D.thanks to our ancestors' creative work
(2)According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?
A.Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons.
B.Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
C.People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River.
D.The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting.
(3)From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______.
A.there are great lakes on Mars
B.there are active volcanoes on Mars
C.there might be cities on Mars
D.there might be life on Mars
(4)The passage can be titled as _______.
A.Lakes on Earth and Mars
B.The Cause of Lake Formation
C.The Force of Dam Breaking
D.Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her work shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books had been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not satisfied with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden GateBridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (獨特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
(1)Danielle Steel is different from other writers because ________.
A.she can write several books at the same time
B.she often does some research before writing a book
C.she is one of the most popular American women writers
D.she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break
(2)Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know ________.
A.how to deal with affairs at school
B.what to do if Max and Martha die
C.what to do when new babies are born into their families
D.how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes
(3)One of Danielle Steel's achievements is that ________.
A.some TV plays were based on her books
B.her picture books attracted a lot of young men
C.one of her books became a best-seller in 1998
D.she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records
(4)We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel ________.
A.lives an exciting life
B.values her readers a lot
C.writes about quiet women
D.is pleased with her achievements
