My three-year-old granddaughter, Tegan, went with her parents to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents. Everyone was having a wonderful time visiting and catching up on all the latest family news.
Like most children, Tegan was having a good time playing with all the toys that were different from her own and that were kept for children to play with at her grandparents’ house. In particular, Tegan had found a little tea set and had begun pretending that she was having a tea party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.
After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this ‘tea’ that I've been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her, without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was stretching up on her tippy toes reaching up to get her ‘tea’ water -- out of the container of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!
小題1:At the family gathering, the adults __________.
A．watched their favorite TV programs
B．talked about what happened at home
C．drank tea while chatting
D．a(chǎn)rranged tables for children’s games
小題2:Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined phrase “was engrossed in” in Paragraph 2 ?
A．got tired ofB．got annoyed by
C．was absorbed inD．was puzzled at
小題3:What can be learned from the text ?
A．Tegan was unhappy to be left alone at the gathering.
B．Tegan’s father often played with her in games.
C．Tegan refused to apologize for what she had done.
D．Tegan’s father cared nothing about what she was doing.
小題4:Tegan’s Dad followed her secretly to find out __________.
A．whether there was any tea left
B．how she made tea so wonderful
C．where she got the sugar for tea
D．what kind of tea he had drunk

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:D

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了家庭聚會(huì)時(shí)，發(fā)生的一件趣事。Tegan的父親喝了泡假牙的水。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題：根據(jù)He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.
可知家庭聚會(huì)時(shí)，成年人在談?wù)摷依锇l(fā)生的事，故選B。
小題2:猜詞題：根據(jù)Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea".可猜出“was engrossed in” in Paragraph 2意思是全神貫注，故選C。
小題3:推斷題： 根據(jù)Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan，可知Tegan的父親總是和她一起玩游戲，故選B。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題：根據(jù)After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this ‘tea’ that I've been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her, without her knowing,可知Tegan的父親悄悄跟著她，發(fā)現(xiàn)了他喝著什么樣的茶，故選D。

Shirley Temple, who died on February 10, 2014, was that rare example of a Hollywood child star who, when the cameras stopped rolling, carved out a new career.
For four years, she was Hollywood’s biggest box-office star representing the kind of sweet, innocent girl that everyone wanted as their daughter. However, years later, she reappeared as a successful politician.
Shirley Temple was born in Santa Monica, California on 23 April 1928. Encouraged by her mother, she learned to dance while she was just three.
In 1934, Stand Up and Cheer became her first film and the film was a great success. At the age of six she was earning $1,250 a week — more than $21,000 at today’s values.
Across the world, audiences flocked to see her in films such as Little Miss Marker, The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel.
In 1935 she was awarded a special Oscar (Academy Award) and her foot and hand prints were added to those of stars such as Jean Harlow and Mary Pickford outside Grauman’s Chinese theatre in Hollywood. The peak of her film career came in 1939 when The Little Princess became a box-office success.
Temple starred in a total of 43 feature films. But she found it difficult to maintain her film career in adulthood and retired from Hollywood in 1950.
She disappeared from the spotlight for nearly 20 years. She returned to the public eye in 1967, as a Republican candidate for Congress. When Nixon became president, he rewarded her with an appointment to the American delegation to the United Nations. Then, in 1974, President Ford appointed her the United States Ambassador(大使) to Ghana. George Bush Snr, appointed her Ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
Shirley Temple drew a line between her childhood stardom and her later political career. “Some people are stuck on this image of the little girl,” she once said. “She is not me. We shouldn’t live in the past; my life is now.” Nevertheless, for many across the world, the name Shirley Temple always called to mind a superstar child.

The first day our professor challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady smiling at me.
She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of children.” “No seriously,” I said. “I want to realize my dream!” she told me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and everyone liked to listen to this “time machine”.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet and I’ll never forget what she taught us. “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20. If I am 87 and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. We have less time to live on. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”
At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had dreamed about all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 students attended her funeral honoring the wonderful woman who taught us such an important message.
小題1:Rose made herself known to the author in a _____ manner.
A．seriousB．coldC．crazyD．humorous
小題2:Rose was considered a “time machine” because she _____.
A．a(chǎn)lways followed a strict time schedule
B．was never late for any of her classes
C．had lived a long and rich life
D．a(chǎn)lways appeared in time whenever she was needed
小題3:According to Rose, growing up is different from growing older because _____.
A．growing up doesn’t need as much effort or talent as growing older
B．growing up means young people have enough time to waste
C．there is no need for one to worry about death
D．growing up means one has more chances or time to choose what one likes
小題4:Rose came to study in college at such an old age for the purpose of _____.
A．challenging her old age
B．realizing her long dream about college education
C．meeting someone rich and attractive
D．not having any regrets in her life
