    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读理解，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。

    　　I opened my new patient's chart and headed for her room．My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver's license．For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did．Rebekah mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an in injection, Rebekah shut her eys tightely and murmured a prayer until it was over．Then she smiled and squeezed my hand．“Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table? " I handed her the worn book．"Do you have a favorite Bible verse? " she asked．"Jesus wept．John 11∶35．" "Such a sad one, " she said．"Why? ""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow．"　Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me．

    　　During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children．One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder．She picked up a notebook and held it out to me．"I'm making a tape for my daughters, " she said．I read the list on her pad：starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation．While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children's future．She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions．She filled them with family stories and advice, trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours．Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband．

    　　I often wondered what I would say in her place．My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they'd been and who they'd been with．Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?

    　　It was three o'clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital．Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape．She was breathing hard when I entered her room．I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips．"Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape．" She held my hand and closed her eyes．"Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy．Please make her feel special．Show her how to take care of you．Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday．Hannah, tell her you don't want meat sauce on your spaghetti．Molly, don't get mad if there's no apple juice．Drink something else．It's okay to be sad, sweeties．Jesus cried too．He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again．Remember, I'll always love you．I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply．"Thank you, Nan, "You'll give this one to them, won't you? " she murmured as she slid into sleep．

    　　A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah's children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah's blanket, I got in my car and hurried home．I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious．That night the kids didn't go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes．And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints, late into the night．

    Lego, the inventor of those colorful bricks（积木） that have inspired kids’ imaginations world-wide, has celebrated its 50th anniversary.

    On January 28, 1958, a man named Godtfred Kirk Christiansen created the plastic building bricks that can now be found in almost every child’s toy box. The simple building block has become one of the most well-known and popular toys around the world.

    “The Lego brick continues to be very attractive, because it allows children, and others, to develop their creativity and imagination,” said Charlotte Simonsen, a spokeswoman of the Danish Lego company.

    The company’s building bricks allow an endless number of links. With just two bricks there are 24 different links, and with six, there are 915 million possibilities, according to Lego.

    A half-century after its creation, more than 400 million children and adults spend five billion hours a year putting the bricks together and pulling them apart. Also, the bricks made today can still interlock with those made in 1958.

    Lego bricks are not just child’s play: they also attract the interest of adults. South Korean adventurer, Heo Young-Ho, who climbed Mount Everest in 1987, left a Lego toy behind in the snow during his climb.

    After its great success，Lego experienced a severe crisis at the end of the 1990s, hit hard by fierce competition from electronic games. This so-called “Toy of the Century” then suffered a dark period that lasted several years.

    With great efforts, the company began to prosper(繁荣、发展) again, and in 2006 it earned about 1.5 billion dollars in 130 countries. Seven boxes of Lego are now sold every second around the world, and 19 billion bricks are produced each year: enough to encircle the Earth five times！

    51. The Lego bricks have remained popular in the past 50 years because_______.

    A. they are safe for young children

    B. they are available to children everywhere in the world

    C. they make the children and even adults creative and imaginative

    D. people can have unlimited links with two bricks

    52. The author gave the example of South Korean adventurer Heo Young-Ho in order to prove that

    ______.

    A. Heo Young-Ho also loved playing Lego bricks

    B. the Lego bricks made him a mountain climber

    C. the Lego bricks not only interest children but also adults

    D. the Lego bricks are a must for people on an adventure

    53. It can be inferred from the text that ______.

    A. there are 915 different links with just 6 bricks

    B. the Lego Bricks Company is making less and less money

    C. the Lego Bricks can’t compare with computer games

    D. the bricks made today don’t change much compared with those made in 1958

    54. The underlined word “hit” in the seventh paragraph means _____.

    A. being defeated in a fight or a competition

    B. having a crash in an accident or a fight

    C. getting known through a song

    D. attacking somebody in a fight

    55. Which is the best title for the passage?

    A. Lego bricks: brilliant and struggling

    B. Lego bricks: an attraction of children

    C. Lego bricks: making creativity and imagination

    D. Lego bricks: bringing fun
