         Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when I discovered Tom Sawyer. But
    even at the height of my admiration, I couldn't agree with him that Anne, the main character in Anne of
    Green Gables    , was "the dearest and most loveable child in fiction since the best-known Alice". I had
    read Anne of Green Gables as well as Tom Sawyer, and she had made me as sick as a dog.
         Another Mark Twain's quote will explain my problem. He said, "When I was a boy of 14, my father
    was so ignorant (无知的) that I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21,
    I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." I gradually understood his words
    as growing up. When I picked up the book again a few years later, I too was astonished at how much it
    had improved-and shortly afterwards shocked by the fact that not only could I be a fool in all sporting,
    artistic and practical matters, I could also be so when it came to reading too.
         On rereading, then, I learned that Anne is indeed a dear and most lovable child. I couldn't help
    adoring the girl who insists that her name be spelled with the "e" instead of Ann as she believes that is "so
    much more distinguished." She is a brave and determined survivor of a severe upbringing who has refused
    to let her circumstances crush her spirit. She arrives at Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert's farm with
    everything unfavorable-orphaned, unwanted and her biggest trouble of red-hair and freckled (有雀斑的)
    face. However, she gets along well, through her strange way of seeing things, through her honest love of
    beauty and lovable attempts to master her unreasonable desires. She finally wins over the Cuthberts, their
    neighbors and millions of readers who have met her over the 101 years since the book was first published.
         When I settle down with it these days, I've come to see the truth in Mark Twain's praise for the book,
    and this reminds me of the great truth that you are never too young to start rereading.
    1. According to Paragraph 1, we can know the writer ______.
    A. believed Anne to be loveable
    B. admired Mark Twain because of Anne
    C. regarded Tom Sawyer as the dearest child
    D. disagreed with Mark Twain's opinion on Anne

    A. people's attitude may change
    B. learning can change a person
    C. the relationships between people can improve
    D. young people never make correct judgments
    3. The reason why the writer admires Anne now is that _______.
    A. she is an ambitious girl
    B. she is welcome by the readers
    C. she adapts to her environment well
    D. she changes her name to make it easy to remember
    4. The writer's purpose of writing the passage is to ______. 
    A. recommend Anne of Green Gables
    B. express admiration towards Mark Twain
    C. prove that people's first impression can not be right
    D. encourage us to reread the books that we may not like at first

    第二部分：阅读理解（共25题，第一节每题2分，第二节每题1分）
    第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    Trouve sat up on its back legs arid growled（吼叫）the words “How are you, Grandmama?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel（一口）of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!
    Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.
    The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.
    Next Aleck moved the dog’s “lips’ as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.
    Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone（下颚骨）, it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.
    Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.
    After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”
    Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.
    Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.
    41．Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?
    A．His father had an influence on him.      
    B．He had a talent for giving speeches.
    C．He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.
    D．He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.
    42．Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because         .
    A．it liked being together with Aleck  B．it was given some food for that
    C．it would like to develop its potential      D．Aleck treated it like one of the family
    43．Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?
    A．Humorous.      B．Naughty.  C．Knowledgeable.       D．Curious.
    44．What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?
    A．His own hard work.         B．His neighbor’s help.
    C．His father’s encouragement.    D．The dog’s smartness.
