    阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

    　　Both my parents came from towns in Mexico. I was born in El Paso, Texas, and when I was four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.

    　　Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents told to me and my four brothers and sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities. They filled us with the concepts of family, faith and patriotism(爱国主义).

    　　I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a cardboard-box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little strip mall (狭小的购物街)and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr Ben's Coinffure.

    　　The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount(打折) on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m. To pick up rubbish, Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower(割草机). Mom and I emptied rubbish cans and picked up litter(乱扔的杂物) by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I'd sleep in the ear on the way home.

    　　I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired discipline and a strong work ethic (行为准则), and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life's competing interests--in my case, school, homework and job. This really helped during high school, when I worked 40 hours a week cooking burgers at a fast-food joint(店铺) while taking a full load of college-pre courses.

    　　The hard work paid off. I attended the U. S. Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard. Later, I jointed a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California State Assembly. In these jobs and in everything else I've done, I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot. The experience taught me that there is dignity(尊严) in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families, that is something we should honor.

    1．From the fourth paragraph of the passage, we know that the writer's first job was _____.

    [　　]

    A．helping his father in the cardboard-box factory

    B．working in his father's shop

    C．helping his father in the parking lot

    D．doing some work in the fast-food joint

    2．Mr Ben's Coinffure is _____.

    [　　]

    A．the writer's father

    B．the writer himself

    C．the name of the owner of the shopping center

    D．the name of his father's shop

    3．The writer thought that _____.

    [　　]

    A．it was wrong for his parents to think that they were fortunate at that time

    B．his parents' instructions to him and his brothers and sisters were valuable in his life

    C．doing all kinds of work would benefit everyone during their childhood

    D．it was necessary for a child to help his family

    4．According to the writer's opinion, which of the following statements is true?

    [　　]

    A．One's childhood is valuable in his lifetime.

    B．The more jobs one does, the greater success one has.

    C．The harder the work is, the more interest one shows.

    D．Any job that one does to support himself and his family is honorable.

    5．The underlined phrase“make ends meet”means _____.

    [　　]

    A．to have something fairly

    B．to balance one's income with one's expense

    C．to end a meeting

    D．to join two ends of things

    Passage one（The only way to travel is on foot）

    The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘ Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks. ’

    The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’ You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’ – meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. ’

    When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.

    1、Anthorpologists label nowaday’s men ‘Legless’ because

         A   people forget how to use his legs.

         B   people prefer cars, buses and trains.

         C   lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.

         A   people’s focus on the future.

         B   a pleasure.

         C   satisfying drivers’ great thrill.

         D   a necessity of life.

    3、Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’ ?

         A   People won’t use their eyes.

         B   In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.

         C   People can’t see anything on his way of travel.

         D   People want to sleep during travelling.

    4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?

         A   Legs become weaker.

         B   Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.

         C   There is no need to use eyes.

         D   The best way to travel is on foot.

    5. What does ‘a bird’s-eye view’ mean?

         A   See view with bird’s eyes.

         B   A bird looks at a beautiful view.

         C   It is a general view from a high position looking down.

         D   A scenic place.

    It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?

    Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.

    Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.

    Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”

    Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.

    For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.

    It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.

    1.What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?

    A. To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.

    B. To be the first to climb El Capitan.

    C. To climb the highest mountain in California.

    D. To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.

    2.How did Mark climb the mountain?

    A. He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.

    B. He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.

    C. He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.

    D. He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.

    3. How did Mark lose the use of his legs?

    A. He lost his footing and fell from the side of a mountain.

    B. He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan.

    C. His legs were broken by falling rocks.

    D. While working out in the gym, he injured his backbone.

    4.What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?

    A. He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.

    B. A strong wind blew him away from the rock.

    C. He kept falling several inches.

    D. While swaying in space, he became terrified.

    5.How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?

    A. He admitted that he was frightened.

    B. He often worried about his friend’ s condition.

    C. He was able to remain clam and determined.

    D. He was joking to cheer himself up.

     “It’s my own fault．” Carl Fenter pulled his jacket closer against the cold morning wind．“The rest of the family is home, where it’s warm．”

    Just another one of his brilliant ideas—a big tamale （玉米粉蒸肉） feast after tonight’s Christmas Eve service at church—and look where it landed him: waiting in a line of 50 people．

    As Carl knew, every tamale shop in the city had sold out their tamales the day before Christmas, though he’d been driving all over El Paso that morning．Determined to bring home the tamales, Carl tried one last shop out in Canutillo．

    When he arrived, a fresh batch （一批） would be ready off the steamer in 45 minutes．Taking his place at the end of the snaking line, he watched the woman in front of him remove her jacket to cover her shaking youngster．It wasn’t long before she, too, trembled in the chilly wind．Without hesitation, Carl took off his own jacket and offered it to the grateful mother．

    They cheered when the line crept forward at last．Finally, Carl got inside the door and inched his way closer to the counter, the woman now first in line．“Sorry folks,” the clerk announced, “that’s the last of the tamales．” “No way!” Carl cried out．“But,” stressed the man, “we’ll have a final batch ready in, oh, about two hours．”

    Defeated, Carl backed away, but the young mother grabbed his arm．“You’re leaving?” “I have to,” Carl glanced at his watch．“I promised to put up decorations at my church．” “I’ll get your order of tamales and bring them to your house．” Carl frowned．“I couldn’t ask you to do that．” “But it’s the least I can do．You lent me your coat．Just give me your address．” She and her little girl settled in for the long wait．

    And at exactly noon on Christmas Eve, they delivered four dozen fragrant tamales—along with Carl’s brown jacket—to his home．

           D．Carl couldn’t wait because he had to go back to the church．

           B．she was very thankful to Carl for his kindness

           C．Carl asked her to buy tamale for him
