But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro(blacks )mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it .They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.

       I wonder about my Momma ,who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months ,and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so the wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh ,they were just like part of the family!

       I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.

       I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have .Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later ,the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow . She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat ,and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.

Dear Sir or Madam,

       With so many students going or having gone to study abroad in our school, Weiwei Tang is among the few for whom writing a letter of recommendation is really a pleasure.

       I first saw her when I worked as a tutor teacher（班主任）of a class in the third year of its senior high school. That day ,I was on the playground supervising the morning exercises of my class .Next to mine were the classes of the freshmen .Among them was a girl ,to whom the morning excises of our school seemed totally alien（陌生的）. She didn’t seem to be worried or embarrassed ,but she exercised to the music ,copying the moves of her classmates. Her confidence impressed me.

       Later ,when I was watching an English talent show in our school, I saw the girl again. She was hosting the program .That time, her beautiful spoken English struck me .Later on , I learnt from other teachers of English that she often did such jobs on similar occasions.

       In 2006 ,when they became grade three students, I was in charge of English teaching of two classes ,one of which was Class 11 ,and the girl became one of my students. Facing the College Entrance Exam, they were going to pass one of the hardest years of their life. Though Weiwei Tang didn’t top the class in academic performance ,two of her individualities contributed to my pleasure of writing this very letter .For one thing ,she was definitely among the students who were often around the teachers ,communicating ideas and asking questions; for another ,her confidence wasn’t lessened by the pressure from going to an idea college.

       Her active participation in various campus activities may have contributed a lot to her being so friendly to others and so communicative.

       When she told me of her plan to study abroad and her TOFEL grade ,I didn’t feel it unexpected ,because I believe that is what she should do—facing more challenges and creating more chances .Her confident smiles deserve more.

                                                                                                      Sincerely yours,

                                                                                                      Kane Shaw

                                                                      English teacher of her senior year of high school

45．Which of the following is most probably an example from paragraph 5?

       A．As a member of the English Club of our school ,she often hosted kinds of ceremonies.

       B．Several times ,she was among the top ten students in the grade in the final examinations.

       C．She once found a purse with several thousand yuan in it and helped find the owner.

       D．She was always on time for school and was never absent from school for any reason.

46．According to the writer ,the writer first saw Weiwei Tang in       .

       A．2002                      B．2004                       C．2005                      D．2006

47．Which of the following words can’t be used to describe Weiwei Tang?

       A．Confident.               B．Active.                    C．Silent.                   D．Communicative.

48．What does the writer want to express in the second paragraph?

       A．The girl is confident.

       B．When he first saw the girl.

       C．How he got to know the girl.

       D．The girl wasn’t in the school for her junior high school years.

Mark felt that it was time for him, to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area' s city councilwoman(女議員) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.

       The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.

       I watched the man dive off the bock and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.

       I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.

       But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.

       No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.

       A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.

       Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.

       In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.

56.     From the passage we can learn that the young man _______.

A. made his turn to start back pitifully                      

B. was skillful in freestyle in the game

C. swam faster than the average swimmer                

D. was not capable enough to win the medal

57.   The crowd changed their attitudes because _______.

       A. they felt sorry for the young man                         

B. they wanted to show their sympathy

       C. they were moved by the young man                     

D. they meant to please the young man

58.   According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______.

       A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills

       B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself

       C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors

       D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals

59.   What’s the best title for the passage?

       A. Go for it!                 B. Try again！                     C. Compete for Gold!  D. Break a Record!

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard（柜廚）outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?”

I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”

He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”

My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

53. In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.

A. would like very much to buy                         B. badly wanted

C. was glad to have bought                               D. would rather not buy

A. the rush-hour traffic was too busy                B. they wanted to show their respect

C. their cars couldn’t run fast                                D. the couple were very important people

55. The police thought they were _______.

A. carrying a cupboard to the church                 B. sending flowers to the church

C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture         D. going to attend a funeral at the church

56. What did the husband think of this matter?

A. It was very strange.                                     B. He felt ashamed of it.

C. He took great pride in it.                             D. He was puzzled at it.

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his hunches (串) of bananas and bags of peanuts．Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life．“Banana 300 naira．Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice．I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts．When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill．He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry．He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.

When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun．My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window．He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready．I waved them away．“What’s up?” I asked him．“I … I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills．“Will this help?” I asked．He looked around nervously before taking the money．One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year．“Thank you, sir,” he said．“Thank you very much!”

When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks．What if he’s a swindler (騙子)? And then I wondered why I did it．Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.

Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria．Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.

“Oh, gosh! Long time.”

“Are you in school now?” I asked. He nodded. “That’s good,” I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted．“Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill．“Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．“What’s wrong?” I asked．“It’s a gift.” He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat (汗水)．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”

46．What was the author’s first impression of the boy?

       A．He seemed to be poor and greedy．       B．He seemed to have suffered a lot.

       C．He seemed younger than his age            D．He seemed good at bargaining.

47．The second time the author met the boy, the boy _____.

       A．told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts 

       B．wanted to express his thanks

       C．a(chǎn)sked him for money for his schoolbooks    

       D．tried to take advantage of him

48．Why did the author give his money to the boy?

       A．Because he had enough money to do that.

       B．Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.

       C．Because he held a higher position in the society.

       D．Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.

49．Which of the following best describes the boy?

       A．Brave and polite．                       B．Kind and smart.

       C．Honest and thankful．                    D．Shy and nervous.

For three days Mr Bunter did not say a word. He looked at people sensibly enough but seemed unable to hear any questions put to him. An officer remarked to the captain, “Those brass (黃銅) plates on the steps of the bridge-ladder are very dangerous things. ”

“Are they?” replied Captain Johns, “It takes more than a brass plate to make an able-bodied man fall down in that way. And the weather fine, everything dry, and the ship going on a smooth sea!”

On the fourth day, the chief officer looked better. He could hear and understand and could even speak in a weak voice.

“Well, Mr Bunter,” said Captain Johns, “Can you tell us what caused the accident!”

Bunter moved his head slightly and fixed his cold blue stare on the Captain’s eyes and said in a whisper, “You—were—right!”

“Bless my soul!” cried out Captain Johns, “Do you mean you had a supernatural experience that night? You saw a ghost on my ship?”

Unwillingness, shame, disgust (反感) would have been seen on poor Bunter’s face if a good part of it had not been wrapped in bandage (繃帶) . He tried hard and answered, “Yes, I have seen.”

“And did it —did it knock you down from the ladder?”

“Come! Am I the sort of man to be knocked down by a ghost?”

Captain Johns pointed a finger at Bunter. “You’ve been terrified, ” he said , “That’s what’s the matter, even the man at the wheel was frightened, though he couldn't see anything. He felt the supernatural. You’ve been punished because you wouldn't believe, Mr Bunter. ”

“Suppose I have, ” said Bunter, “You don't know what I saw. And I can’t tell you what it was like. Every man has his own ghosts. I stepped back. I don't remember anything else. ”

Justin's bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.

       "What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."

       When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack--a smaller version of his bedroom--a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore.

       Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.

       "Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?" he asked. "I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if I'm late on the first day it'll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked really worried.

       "Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."

       He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.

       "That's amazing!' Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.

       It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."

68. Why is Justin's room such a mess?

    A. He always forgets to clean it.               B. He never throws anything away.

    C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.

    D. He's had it for as long as he can remember.

One day Marilla said, “Anne, your new teacher, Miss Stacy, spoke to me yesterday. She says you must study for the examinations for Queen’s College in two years’ time. Then if you do well, you can study at Queen’s in Charlottetown for a year, and after that you’ll be a teacher!”

“That doesn’t matter, Anne. When Matthew and I adopted you three years ago, we decided to look after you as well as we could. Of course we’ll pay for you to study.”

So in the afternoons Anne and some of her friends stayed late at school, and Miss Stacy helped them with the special examination work. Diana didn’t want to go to Queen’s, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert weren’t friends, but it was too late now.

For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didn’t study all the time. In the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew.

“Your Anne is a big girl now. She’s taller than you,” Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day.

“You’re right, Rachel!” said Marilla in surprise.

“And she’s a very good girl now, isn’t she? She doesn’t get into trouble these days. I’m sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.”

“Yes, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” said Marilla, smiling.

“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. You’ve looked after her very well.”

“Well, thank you, Rachel,” replied Marilla, pleased.

That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying.

“What’s the matter?” he asked, surprised. “You haven’t cried since… well, I can’t remember when.”

“It’s just… well, I was thinking about Anne,” said Marilla. “I’ll…I’ll miss her when she goes away.”

“When she goes to Queen’s, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.”

“I’ll still miss her,” said Marilla sadly.”

In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their examinations.

“Oh, I do hope that I’ve done well,” Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And I’ve got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! I’ll die!”

Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla. That was very important to her.
