         Eddie’s father used to say he’d spent so many years by the ocean, breathing seawater. Now, away from that ocean, in the hospital bed, his body began to look like a beached fish. His condition went from fair to stable and from stable to serious. Friends went from saying, “He’ll be home in a day,” to “He’ll be home in a week ” In his father’s absence, Eddie helped out at the pier(码头), working evenings after his taxi job.

         When Eddie was a teenager, if he ever complained or seemed bored with the pier, his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he’d suggested Eddie take a job there after high school, Eddie almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Eddie went to war, when he’d talked of marrying Marguerite and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”

         And now, regardless of all that, here he was, at the pier, doing his father’s labor.

         Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later, as the heart weakens, that children understand their stories, and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.

         Finally, one night, at his mother’s urging, Eddie visited the hospital. He entered the room slowly. His father, who for years had refused to speak to Eddie, now lacked the strength to even try.

         “Don’t sweat it, kid,” the other workers told him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”

         When the news came that his father had died, Eddie felt the emptiest kind of anger, the kind that circles in its cage.

         In the weeks that followed, Eddie’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there. She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two. One night, when Eddie offered to help with the dishes, she said. “Your father will put them away.” Eddie put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said, softly, “Dad’s gone.”

         “Gone where?”

1. In Paragraph 4, the writer indicates that       .

A.Children like moving away from them parents

B.Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents

C.Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ support

D.Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them   

2. The underlined sentence probably means “       ”.

A.Don’t give it up           B.Don’t worry about it

C.Don’t let him down             D.Don’t touch it

3. Which of the following shows the right order of the story?

a.Eddie’s father died.

b.Eddie worked as a taxi driver.

c.Eddie married Marguerite.

d.Eddie was bored with his father’s job.

A.bacd  B.dcab  C.bcda  D.dcba

4. From the last part of the passage, we learn that       .

         A.Eddie’s mother liked to listen to the radio

         B.Eddie often helped his mother wash the dishes

         C.Eddie and his wife lived in his mother’s apartment

         D.Eddie’s mother missed her husband so much that she was at a loss

任务型阅读 (共10小题; 每小题l分, 满分l0分)

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.

This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly

and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation—for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic(the opposite of

“temporary”)usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example,

friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

Loneliness and Diseases

Three different types of  _81_

The most common type is  82  . It disappears quickly and  83  no special attention.

The second type is situation, which usually lasts for  84  than a year.

The third kind is chronic, which means if people experience habitual loneliness, they’ll have problems  85  with others

An important factor in loneliness

With the help of  86  , we know a person’s social contact is one important factor.

We depend on a wide  87  of people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support.

Lonely people may have many social  88 , but they sometimes feel they should have more.

The reasons for finding ways to help the lonely people

One is that they are unhappy and unable to socialize.

The  89  reason is that temporary and situational loneliness can be a 90  condition, sometimes dangerous too.

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them.Their values---this can not be repeated too often--aren’t necessarily our values.Physical comfort,cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things.The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms,and an old person lying alone on bed,taking no notice of the worms.But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers,the ones who clear up the worms,think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks(冒险)are being taken with the health and safety of the old.

Indeed,the old can be easily hurt or harmed.The old is like a car: it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older.You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts.But never forget that such operations are painful experiences,however good the results are.And at what point should you stop to treat the old body?Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active,knowing that it is designed to die?You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide,because so long as they can see the technical chances,they will feel it necessary to give them a try,by the rule that while there’s life,there’s hope.

Talking to the old,however,you’re forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or health than it does on your ability to have fun.

1.After reading Paragraph 1,we learn that____.

A.very old people are able to keep their living places very clean

B.old people enjoy living alone so as to have more personal freedom

2.Some social workers think that_____.

A.old people should keep their living places clean

B.one should not take risk dealing with old people

C.health and safety are more important than personal freedom

D.personal freedom is more important than health and safety

3.In Paragraph 3,the underlined word“it”refers to____.

A.one’s memory or health

B.the conclusion you have come to

C.whether age is happy or unpleasant

D.your talk to the old people

4.The writer of this passage thinks that_______.

A.it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death

B.the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is uncertain

C.old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
