Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big obstacle lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.

One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.

With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备) and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.

It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.

Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''

1.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?

A.Because she didn't want others to hear her play.

B.Because she didn't mean to disturb others.

C.Because she didn't have her own room.

D.Because she didn’t like her neighbors.

2.Brenda started to give concerts _______.

A.after she practiced in her space bubble

B.when she became part of the unique space journey

C.after she became a real musicalastronaut

D.when people came to see her in the space bubble

3.Brenda became famous because _______.

A.she was good at music and science

B.she became a real musical astronaut

C.she invented a special way of practice

D.she played well and had a talent

4.Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda?

A.Kind, hardworking and clever.

B.Brave, kind and hardworking.

C.Lovely, brave and kind.

D.Nervous, kind and clever.

5.It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".

A.He laughs best who laughs last

B.It's never too old to learn

C.Two heads are better than one

D.One good turn deserves another

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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A  teenage girl is fighting for her life today after being struck by lightning as severe thunderstorms swept across Britain. The girl was one of four teenage girls from London who were hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park during a storm.  Earlier, Joseph Wharton, 14, died as he was struck by lightning while camping in his friend’s backyard in the West Midlands.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said the girl remained in serious condition at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. She had stooped breathing by the time the first paramedic arrived on the scene just two minutes after the strike at 5:40 p.m. yesterday.

The other three girls hit by the bolt all had injuries, and were taken to University College Hospital. Their conditions were not serious, the spokesman added. The strike lifted the girls into the air and then dropped them to the ground, a witness reported.

A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics risked their lives to treat the girls. “The storm was still overhead and lightning was still coming down while they were treating the patients,” he said. “All staff involved acted very professionally in providing fast treatment to these patients in very difficult circumstances.” Scotland Yard said the incident was being looked into by officers from the Royal Parks’Operational Command Unit.

Joseph Wharton of Byland Way, Bloxwich, was hit during the extended thunderstorm which struck the region yesterday morning. He was pronounced dead at Walsall Manor Hospital.

He had been sleeping in a tent while staying with school friend Michael Lees at a house on nearby Cresswell Crescent.                            

West Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics were called at 7:50 a.m. and unsuccessful attempts were made to revive the sports-mad teenager. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said four or five people die each year as a result of lightning strikes in the UK.

1.All four girls  _______________.

A  were killed by the lightning             B  were seriously injured

C  were being treated at the same hospital    D  were lifted up and dropped to the ground

2  The underlined word “bolt” probably means  “ ______________”

A  thunder    B  rain     C  storm     D  lightning

3  Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A  The boy was killed after the four girls had been hit.

B  The paramedics began to treat the girls after taking them to the hospital.

C  First-aid was given to the girls during the storm.

D  The boy was hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park.

4  It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A  many British people die from lightning strikes every year

B  the writer blames the government for the accident

C  the paramedics could also have been hit by lighting while aiding the girls.

D  Joseph had been playing in the open air before the strike

5  This passage is probably taken from a _______.

A  magazine   B  newspaper   C  science fiction     D  weather report
