【题目】阅读理解
If you are given only 1 yuan, could you live in a city for one day? It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi'an did it.
On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June.
To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Queue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually (逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan.
Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jincheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工). “This showed it's important to learn a special skill,” he said.
Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn't any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt (酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,” he said. They will give all of the money they made to poor schools in Tibet.
(1)According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is correct?
a. adults can join this activity
b. students are given a little money
c. students have to do hard tasks
d. twelve cities have joined this activity
A.a, b
B.b, c
C.c, d
D.a, d
(2)To make money, students tried many things EXCEPT ____________.
A.going to Beijing to do their tasks
B.working part-time jobs
C.giving talent shows
D.drawing and making paper crafts
(3)During this activity, _____________.
A.Zhang Queue gave up when he was refused
B.students learned that life is hard
C.Zhao Jincheng made money by singing
D.students learned how to make paper crafts
(4)What does the underlined word “persuade” in the last paragraph mean?
A.argue with others
B.show sth. to others
C.sell something to others
D.make sb. do sth.

【答案】
(1)B
(2)A
(3)B
(4)D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,教育青少年的慈善组织举办了“一元都市”的生存活动。参与活动的学生要利用所给的一元钱挣到更多的钱,有的学生作兼职工作;有的学生在公园或商场唱歌跳舞;有的画画或做手工,目的是把挣到的钱捐给西藏贫困的学校。通过这项活动,学生们体会到生活的艰辛。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的”On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks.“可知,只给学生们一元钱,同时他们还必须处理很多艰巨的任务。所以答案是B。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的”Zhang Queue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Zhao Jincheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工).“可知,为了挣到钱,有的学生作兼职工作;有的学生在公园或商场唱歌跳舞;有的画画或做手工,不包含A。故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was.”可知,通过这项活动,学生们体会到生活的艰辛。答案为B。
(4)考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt(酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,”可知,参与活动的学生去劝说不同的人去做事情,答案为D。

【题目】阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely lame and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on, nor did he say anything about it.
It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps—his pausing, my impatience—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite bad weather. He almost never misseda day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, NY, on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
When I think of it now, I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. Andat how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did heshow any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a“good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
My father has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy Iwas, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about incident, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”
(1)How did the man treat his father when he was young?
A.He helped his father happily.
B.He never helped his father.
C.He helped his father, but not very happily.
D.He only helped his father take a walk after supper.
(2)As a disabled man, his father ____.
A.didn't work very hard
B.didn't go to work from time to time
C.hated those who had good fortune
D.was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope
(3)What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article? It means ____.
A.anger
B.sadness
C.happiness
D.unwillingness
(4)How did the father get to work usually?
A.By subway.
B.By bus.
C.By wheelchair.
D.By bike.
