                                                                      A Divine Plan
        At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learningdisabled children, the father of one student
    delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by those who attended. He began with a question.
    "Everything God does is done with perfection. Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn and understand things
    as other children do. Where is God's plan reflected in my son?"
        The audience was stilled by the question. The father continued,"I believe that when God brings a child
    like Shay into the world, an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself. And it comes in the way
    people treat that child."
        Then he told the following story:
        Shay and I walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,"Do
    you think they will let me play?"
        I knew that most boys would not want him on their team. Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat
    properly, much less connect with the ball. So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into
    his own hands and said, "We are losing by six runs(得分). The game is in the eighth inning(回合). He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning."
        In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. At the
    top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield.
        In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. They had the potential to win. Would the
    team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game?
        Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.  At last, understanding what the boy's intentions had been, the
    boys from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero.
         "That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face,"the boys from both teams
    helped bring a piece of the Divine Plan into this world."

    1. Why did the father think most of the boys wouldn't let Shay join them?
    A. Because it was a very important game and they couldn't   afford to lose it.
    B. Because they knew Shay was physically disabled.
    C. Because they didn't get on well with Shay.
    D. Because they knew Shay was anything but good at playing baseball.

    2. The sentence "Although no hits came his way, he was obviously very happy just to be on the field."
        should be put     at the end of ________.
    A. Paragraph 5              
    B. Paragraph 6
    C. Paragraph 8              
    D. Paragraph 9

    3. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. Shay's team would have lost the game without him.
    B. The opponent team let Shay score purposely.
    C. It was quite by accident that Shay scored.
    D. Shay's team let him play because they didn't take the  game seriously.

    4. The underlined word "juncture" can be explained by ________.
    A. a critical point        
    B. a particular place
    C. a dilemma                
    D. an important game

    任务型读写。阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格中填入恰当的单词。
    注意：每个空格只填入一个单词。
         About six years ago, I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young
    boy sat down at the next table. I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the
    woman asked, " So, how have you been?" And the boy---who could not have been more than seven or
    eight years old replied, "Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately."
         This incident (小事) stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are
    changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I hardly found out we were " depressed" until we were in high school.
         The evidence of  changes in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don't seem
    childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults
    than they used to.
         Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no
    longer exists. Why?
         Human development is based not only on natural biological states, but also on patterns of access to
    social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the
    new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in gradual stages:
    traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
         In the past 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (提示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of
    American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑), many
    children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
         Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social
    information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that
    must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex
    materials.

        It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That's more or less what
    happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
        "I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40,
    blue lights and siren (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed
    to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was
    going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
        But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than
    worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to
    keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and
    stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sightwas not that difficult. Every
    turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
        Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination (目的地). At that point he found another
    unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to
    stop the driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about.
        "Just about that time," Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke
    and oil going everywhere. He's blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
        "After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver's license.
        That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to
    mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
    1. The meaning of "panicked" in paragraph 2 is related to _____.
    [     ]
    A. happy
    B. fear
    C. anger
    D. hate
    2. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?
    [     ]
    A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
    B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
    C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
    D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.
    3. The driver of the Firebird _____.
    [     ]
    A. took a wrong turn on the way
    B. had some trouble with his car
    C. was stopped by the police officer
    D. paid for the expenses of the accident
    4. What is probably the best title for the article?
    [     ]
    A. Losing His Way?
    B. Going My Way?
    C. Fun All the Way?
    D. Help on the Way?

    阅读理解。
         I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever
    seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite
    a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
         One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was,
    so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that
    it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of
    great strength making its way by strokes (猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me,
    seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of their pool. I soon climbed out on the other
    side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?"
    they said, "It's Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, and he has got his football honor."
         I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath
    towel and so small? He didn't seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who
    is a great man, is also small." He laughed at this, and after some general words about my rude behavior
    and how I had better be careful in the future, the incident was closed.
    1. The writer thought Amery "a fair game" because the boy _________.
    A. looked like an animal
    B. was fond of games
    C. was of similar size
    D. was good at sports
    2. The writer was frightened because _________.
    A. he was laughed at by other boys
    B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade
    C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him
    D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete
    3. By saying "My father, who is a great man, is also small", the writer ________.
    A. tried to please Amery
    B. challenged Amery
    C. threatened Amery
    D. admired his father
    4. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. The writer could run faster than Amery.
    B. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.
    C. Amery was a student in Grade Four.
    D. Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior.

         "We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now. "
         "The father described the incident as ' shocking' and believed it was done with malicious intent (恶意地). A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school. The teacher, who was supplied by

          The story began on a downtown Brooklyn street corner. An elderly man had collapsed while
    crossing the street, and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital. There, when he came
    to now and again, the man repeatedly called for his son.
          From a worn letter located in his pocket, an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a
    marine stationed in North Carolina. Apparently there were no other relatives.
          Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn, and a request for the boy to
    rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp.
    Because time was short--- the patient was dying--- the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an
    army vehicle. They found the young man walking through some marshes (沼泽) in a military exercise.
    He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the only plane that might enable him to reach his dying
    father.
          It was dusk when the young marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital. A
    nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
          "Your son is here," she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the
    patient's eyes opened. The medicine he had been given for the pain from his heart attack made his eyes
    weak and he could only see the shadow of the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside
    the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's
    weak ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair, so the marine
    could sit by the bed.
          Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward
    (病房), holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength. Occasionally, the nurse
    urged the marine to rest for a while. He refused.
          Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and
    the night noises of the hospital --- the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging
    greetings, the cries and breathing of other patients. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words.
    The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night.
          It was nearly dawn when the patient died. The marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding
    on the bed, and went to inform the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he smoked a cigarette, his
    first since he got to the hospital.
          Finally, she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting. She started to offer words of
    sympathy, but the marine interrupted her. "Who was that man?" he asked.
         "He was your father," she answered, shocked.
         "No, he wasn't," the marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."
         "Why didn't you say something when I took you to him?" the nurse asked.
         "I knew immediately there'd been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just
    wasn't here. When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, I guessed he really
    needed me.  So I stayed. "
         With that, the marine turned and left the hospital. Two days later a message came in from the North
    Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to
    Brooklyn for his father's funeral. It turned out there had been two marines with the same name and
    similar numbers in the camp. Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record.
          But the wrong marine had become the right son at the right time. And he proved, in a very human
    way, that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men.
