【题目】All the students ________ they heard the famous church in Paris was on fire.

A.were reading whileB.read whileC.were reading when

【答案】C

【解析】

句意:所有的学生都在读书,这时他们听到巴黎著名的教堂失火了。

考查whenwhile的用法。read过去式;were reading过去进行时;when可以和延续性动词连用,也可以和瞬间动词连用;while只能和延续性动词连用,所以排除B;由所给空后面的heard是瞬间动词,应该用when,根据heard以及句子,得出此处应该用过去进行时。故选C

How do you like your school? Have you ever written to your headmaster to express your idea? Here are some letters written by students from different schools.

Luke, 14, from Jiangsu
I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we students have to wear uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports kit (服装) looks really dark and old. It can't stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colors and make a new type of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about it.

Danny, 14, from Zhejiang
I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more hobby classes in science, such as plane model making class and computer programming class. It is really boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise. Lots of students now don't have a strong enough body.

Sam, 15, from Shanxi
I'd like to say thank you to my headmaster. About one week ago, I got a bad cold after playing basketball. Our headmaster came to me after he knew about it. He took care of me until my parents came. I really want to thank him for that.

Helen, 14, from Shandong
In the letter I wrote, I want to talk about the possibility of personal classes. Now many middle schools are trying the “personal class" system. Students don't have regular classes. They can choose lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise. We don't have to stay in one classroom all the time.


(1)Luke gives some suggestions about ______ in his letter.
A.hobby classes
B.personal classes
C.school uniform
D.basketball playing
(2)The reasons why Danny gives two suggestions are that ______.
A.students have too few classes every day and they love sports
B.studying basic subjects only is boring and students are too weak
C.hobby classes are interesting and students have no PE lessons at all
D.students want to cancel the basic subjects and they want to have more sports lessons
(3)According to the passage, most students write to their headmasters about ______.
A.personal experiences
B.how to make schools better
C.spare time activities
D.how to deal with other students

B
I arrived at my mother's home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What's this?” I asked.
“Oh?” Mom said, “That's Mama's quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together.
“Grandmother made this?” I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” Mom said, “I'm still working on it. See, this is what I've done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight(直的). At the center of the quilt, she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn't get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom.” I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother's quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.
(1)When the writer got home, his mother .
A.was cooking dinner

A.She took it to a TV show.
B.She brought it home and made some changes.

(3)The word “stitched” in the sixth paragraph probably means in Chinese.
A.画出
B.剪开

D.缝上

A.was highly thought of by her daughter
