　　When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (紧迫的). Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.

　　So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable (音节), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only corning home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking,“Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-a spell?”or“W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”

　　Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew (希伯来语) for all she could make of it, frowning (锁眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration (专注).

　　After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole.“I'm reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud.“Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I'm reading!”

1．Laura's father didn't want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ________.

[　　]

A．it was too far away

B．they couldn't learn enough

C．their hair would become dirty

D．they would ruin their clothes

2．The children's father decided to teach them to read and write so that they ________.

[　　]

A．had an excuse not to have to move

B．had a reason for not attending school

C．could write to the School Attendance Office

D．would be educated before they left the village

3．The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage”means that ________.

[　　]

A．Laura was working hard and learning quickly

B．her father had no time to teach her

C．her mother was too busy to attend to her

D．Laura knew little about how to read and write

4．From the passage we can infer that ________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.

[　　]

A．her lack of concentration

B．her inability to understand

C．her need to understand Hebrew

D．her determination to understand

5．Laura finally discovered she could read when she ________.

[　　]

A．understood the main idea

B．understood all the words in her book

C．recognized the printed characters

D．jumped the first pages of her book

　　Former US. Vice President A1 Gore, who came close to winning the presidency two years ago, said he will not run in 2004, and probably will not have another opportunity to seek the White House.

　　Though Gore would have been a frightening Democratic(民主党的)main runner, his decision to give up the 2004 race probably helped his party' s chances in the general election against President George W. Bush, Democrats said.

　　Many did not want to see Bush－Gore Ⅱ.

　　“The last campaign was an extremely difficult one,” Gore told CBS TV show “60 Minutes”. on Sunday.

　　While saying he still had the energy and drive to run again, Gore recognized, “There are a lot of people within the Democratic Party who felt exhausted (by the 2000 race)… who felt like, OK, ‘I don't want to go through that again.’ And I'm frankly sensitive to that feeling.”

　　In nearly two dozen interviews after Gore announced his plans, Democrats dutifully claimed their party had lost a top candidate, but one after another, they praised Gore for taking an early exit from a primary race he could have won, sparing them a repeat.

　　Gore, 54, said he was making his decision “in the full understanding that it probably means that I will never have another opportunity to run for president.”

　　Party activists(激进主义分子)blamed Gore for losing despite a booming economy and eight years of a Democratic administration. Gore even lost his home state of Tennessee; a victory there would have given him the White House.

1．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

[　　]

A．Gore Was Criticized

B．Gore Decides Not to Fight Bush in 2004

C．Former US. Vice President Al Gore

D．Al Gore and Gorge Bush

2．Why do you think Gore has decides not to run in 2004 according to this passage?

D．Because he doesn't want to be President of US

B．Sad

　　I remembered the first day I saw her playing basketball．I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids．The boys always tried to stop her but no one could, though she seemed so small．She would practice shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark．

　　One day I asked her why she practiced so much．Without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college．The only way I can go is to get a scholarship．I like basketball．I am going to play college basketball．I want to be the best．My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count．”Then she repeated the routine．Well, I had to give in to her – she was determined．I watched her through those junior high years and into high school．Every week, she led her school team to victory．One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms．Quietly I walked to her and asked what was wrong．“Oh, noting,” came a soft reply．“I am just too short．”The coach told her that at 5.5 inches she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team, so she should stop dreaming about college．But her father said those coaches were wrong．They just did not understand the power of a dream．He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college and wanted a scholarship, nothing could stop her except one thing – her own attitude．He told her again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count”．

　　The next years, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter．She was indeed offered a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division I, NCAA women’s basketball team．She was going to get the college education that she has dreamed of and worked toward for all those years．It’s true：If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count．

　　Mathematical ability and musical ability may not seem on the surface to be connected, but people who have researched the subject and studied the brain say that they are．Three quarters of the bright but speech-delayed children in the group I studied had a close relative who was an engineer, mathematician or scientist, and four fifths had a close relative who played a musical instrument．The children themselves usually took readily to math and other analytical subjects and to music．

　　Black, white and Asian children in this group show the same patterns．However, it is clear that blacks have been greatly overrepresented(被过多的代表)in the development of American popular music and greatly underrepresented in such fields as mathematics, science and engineering．

　　If the abilities required in analytical fields and in music are so closely related, how can there be this great discrepancy?One reason is that the development of mathematical and other such abilities requires years of formal schooling, while certain musical talents can be developed with little or no formal training, as has happened with a number of well-known black musicians．

　　It is precisely in those kinds of music where one can acquire great skill without formal training that blacks have excelled(擅长)popular music rather than classical music, piano rather than violin, blues rather than opera．This is readily understandable, given that most blacks, for most of American history, have not had either the money or the leisure for long years of formal study in music．

　　Blacks have not merely held their own in American popular music．They have played a large role in the development of jazz, both traditional and modern．A long string of names comes to mind－W．C．Handy, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker…and so on．

　　None of these presupposes(假设，意味着)any special innate(先天的)ability of blacks in music．On the contrary, it is perfectly consistent(一致的)with blacks having no more such inborn ability than anyone else, but being limited to being able to express such ability in narrower channels than others who have had the money, the time and the formal education to spread out over a wider range of music, as well as into mathematics, science and engineering．

(1)

What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
[　　]
A．	Mathematical ability and musical ability are connected．
B．	Mathematical ability has more to do with the brain than musical ability．
C．	More people are good at music than math．
D．	More research should be done into the relationship between mathematical ability and math ability．

(2)

The word“discrepancy”(Para．3)most probably means ________．
[　　]
A．	difference
B．	excellence
C．	inborn ability
D．	inability

(3)

What can be inferred about opera?
[　　]
A．	It requires formal training．
B．	It is often enjoyed by those with strong analytical ability．
C．	It is disliked by blacks．
D．	It is more difficult to learn than classical music．

(4)

Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?
[　　]
A．	Blacks have special innate ability in music．
B．	Unlike others, blacks do not have innate ability in music．
C．	Jazz is one of the narrow channels through which blacks express their ability in music．
D．	Those who have money and time choose mathematics over music．

(5)

Which of the following questions does the passage mainly concern?
[　　]
A．	Are musical ability and mathematical ability connected?
B．	Why have blacks been greatly overrepresented in the development of American popular music?
C．	What kinds of music require formal training?
D．	What are the contributions made by black musicians?
