题目列表(包括答案和解析)

My daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.

A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”

Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she does in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.

What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.

Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.

We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and $100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.

My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.

1.What did the author once do according to the passage?

A. She was a ticket seller.                                       B. She was a school teacher.

C. She was a babysitter.                                           D. She was a social worker.

2.How did the boy get to know my daughter?

A. They met when buying tickets to a baseball game.

B. They got in touch via the Internet.

C. They became familiar when talking face to face.

D. They went to the same school and met each other.

3.Why did the boy want to offer free tickets to Alisa?

A. Because Alisa is a disabled girl.

B. Because he has a lot money to share.

C. Because Alisa often helps those in trouble.

D. Because he has a similar situation with Alisa.

4.What can we learn about the boy?

A. He is afraid of meeting strangers.                

B. He always bullies smaller children.

C. He is addicted to the internet.                                  

D. He receives education at home.

     The Diary of a Young Girl is a book based on the writings from a diary written by Anne Frank
while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.  
     Anne Frank began to keep a diary on her thirteenth birthday, 12 June 1942, three weeks before
going into hiding with her mother Edith, father Otto sister Margot and four other people. With the
assistance of a group of  Otto Frank 's trusted colleagues they remained hidden for two years and one
month. They were arrested in 1944 and sent to separate Nazi concentration camps. Anne Frank finally
died of typhus(斑疹伤寒) in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp shortly (about two weeks) before
liberation by British
troops in April 1945. Of the group of eight, only Otto Frank, Anne's father, survived the war. After the
war, he got back the diary that was saved and kept by his friend.
     When Otto Frank read his daughter's diary, he was astonished. "I never knew my little Anne was so
deep". Anne Frank's story has become an example of Jewish suffering under Adolf Hitler, and a warning
of the consequences of racism and persecution(迫害).
     There has been guess about the identity of Kitty, who in Anne's revised diary is the only receiver of
her letters. It was once thought that the name referred to Kitty Egyedi, a prewar friend of Frank's.
However, Kitty Egyedi said in an interview that she was flattered by the assumption but doubted the
diary was addressed to her: "Kitty became so idealized and started to lead her own life in the diary.
The name ... is not meant to be me."
     The character's fictional(虚构的) origin was proved undoubtedly later. Anne had expressed the
desire in the introduction of her diary for one person that she could call her truest friend, that is, a person
to whom she could confide her deepest thoughts and feelings. She observed that she had many "friends",
but (by her own definition) no true, dear friend with whom she could share her innermost thoughts.
In fact, the closest friend Anne had during her tragically short life was her diary, "Kitty", for it was only to "Kitty" that she entrusted her innermost thoughts.

1. From the passage, we can know that __________.
A. Anne was born on 12 June 1928
B. Anne went into hiding in June 1942
C. Anne was arrested in August 1944
D. Anne died shortly after her 16th birthday
2. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Anne's family was helped by Otto's colleagues in the hiding place.
B. Anne kept on writing the diary in the hiding place and the camp.
C. British troops liberated Nazi concentration camps and saved Otto.
D. Anne and her mother and sister died in the Bergen-Belsen camp.
3. Anne wrote letters to "Kitty" in her diary because __________.
A. Kitty was one of her best friends before the war
B. Kitty Egyedi could share her deepest thoughts.
C. she didn't trust her family and other friends
D. she regarded her diary as her closet friend

4. Kitty Egyedi believed the "Kitty" Anne wrote to__________.

A. referred to herself
B. was a perfect character
C. must be Anne’s true friend
D. was totally invented by Anne
5. Anne's diary helps us know the following EXCEPT__________.
A. a teenager's deepest thoughts and feelings
B. Anne’s miserable life after being caught
C. the Jews' suffering under Adolf Hitler
D. the evil of racism and persecution

       DANBURY — Cheryl Kunst knows a new restriction on teen drivers will help keep them safe, but she worries that it will affect the amount of time she can spend teaching her daughter to drive.

       The new restriction, which took effect Monday, limits the number of passengers that teenagers with learning permits are allowed to carry. Teenagers with a permit can only drive with the parent or licensed driver who is teaching them.

       “I understand the safety issues, but it will make it more difficult to get in the driving hours my daughter needs,” said the Danbury woman, who has been teaching her 16-year-old daughter, Sarah, to drive for the last month. “A lot of times I’ll let her drive while we’re doing errands (短差) and a friend or her little sister might be in the car. We won’t be able to do that now.”

       David Scribner, who authored the state’s graduated license laws, said despite the inconvenience, the new regulation will save lives.

       “The highest percentage of accidents with a young driver is caused by distractions (分心),” Scribner said. “It makes sense to prevent the distractions, especially when a teenager is learning to drive. It creates better conditions to learn under and will give the teenagers higher levels of self-confidence when driving.”

       Barry Thayer, director of the Thayer Driver Education Center on Padanaram Road, said, “I always warn parents that during the first or second hour of driving, there shouldn’t be any other passengers in the car,” he said. “But after a few hours, it can work out fine. The new law sounds nice, but it has its disadvantages. My only concern is that it could mean parents won’t be able to spend as much time on the road with their kids.”

60. Cheryl Kunst is worried that ________.

A. the new restriction won’t be carried out successfully

B. her daughter won’t drive by herself

C. she has less time to teach her daughter to drive

D. her daughter won’t be safe when driving

61. According to the new restriction, ________.

A. teenagers without a permit should drive with their parents

B. teenagers with a permit can’t carry their classmates

C. Sarah can’t learn to drive from her mother any more

D. parents can teach their children to drive at any time

62. David Scribner thought that ________.

A. teenagers should pay more attention when driving

B. teenagers should enjoy themselves in the car

C. parents should give their children more chances to drive by themselves

D. the new rule would save parents’ driving time

63. The main idea of the passage probably is ________.

A. Sarah is learning to drive with her mom’s help  B. people are not satisfied with the new restriction

C. experts’ worry about teenagers driving        D. people’s opinions on the new rule

Blameless

  I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites.They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately.Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.

  In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.

  “Who did this?”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.

  “This is all your fault, Katharine,”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.

  From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other.We set a place for blame at the dinner table.

  But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done that.They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives.The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.

  In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York.The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen.Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾照),Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip.She showed off her license to everyone she met.

  The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less ?crowded areas, they let Amy take over.Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat.After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel.She came to a crossroads with a stop sign.Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping.The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.

  Jane was killed immediately.

  I was slightly injured.The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died.Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.

  When Mr.and Mrs.White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room.Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken.They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters.They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).

  To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said,“We’re so glad that you’re alive.”

  I was astonished.No blame.No accusations.

  Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.

  Mrs.White said,“Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly.Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back.But Amy has her whole life ahead of her.How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death?”

  They were right.Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago.She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students.She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.
