    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder（寄宿生） with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.

    　 The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement（底层） which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.

    　 Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on（溺爱）Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.

    　 Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret, Judy’s daughter, told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mohter will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”

    　 That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home（护理室）was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.

    1. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?

    　 A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.

    　 B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.

    　 C. He is a student of Judy Carson.

    　 D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.

    2. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?

    　 A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.

    　 B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.

    　 C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.

    　 D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.

    3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

    　 A. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.

    　 B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.

    　 C. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.

    　 D. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.

    4. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?

    　 A. Because she did not want to leave her own house.

    　 B. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.

    　　(Times London, May 20th)China stood still．Soldiers stood in a queue on the rubble of a town destroyed by the terrible earthquake with their heads bowed and hats in their hands．A mother whose child had died wept quietly．Thousands of citizens gathered in front of the portrait of Chairman Mao in Tian’anmen Square．

    　　China’s 1.3 billion people stopped yesterday at 2∶28 pm－the exact time of the 8.0 magnitude earthquake a week ago－for three minutes of silence to mourn for as many as 10,000 people who were thought dead．In Hongbai, one of the worse-affected towns, a single siren(汽笛)cried and the few dozen people who were still in the town pressed their car horns．A military helicopter hovered overhead, its siren crying too．

    　　The damage caused by the earthquake that China has described as its worst in more than half a century has brought together people from across the country to offer help．It was a rare display of patriotic(爱国的)emotion that the government had allowed－even in Tian’anmen Square．

    　　As loudspeakers announced the end of the silence, people rushed to the flagpole in the square holding up posters reading “Go, China”．Then came roars of “Long live China!” and “Stay strong, China!”

         My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It's funny now but it wasn't
    at that time.
         Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I
    bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop-that cheap self-service place
    with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table
    to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
         When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking
    youngsters, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair coloured bright red at the front. Not so unusual these
    days.What did suprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate!
         Naturally, I was annoyed (苦恼). However, to avoid (避免) trouble-and really I was rather uneasy about
    him-I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The
    boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't
    start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the
    last piece." and I got it.
         The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman's crazy!"
    Everybody stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready
    to leave. My face turned red-as red as his hair-when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that
    I'd been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.
    1. Last Friday the writer ____.
    A. went shopping with her husband
    B. had been very busy and needed some time to recover
    C. wanted a newspaper and some chocolate to take home to her family
    D. bought a newspaper and some chocolate so that she could keep a place at the table
    2. When the writer saw the boy go on eating the chocolate, she felt ____.
    A. too uneasy to start an argument
    B. too shy to look in the boy's direction
    C. more and more disappointed at losing the chocolate
    D. more and more angry with the boy
    3. What does the underlined word "embarrassing" mean most probably?
    A. Amusing.
    B. Surprising.
    C. Socially uncomfortable.
    D. Annoying.
    4. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. The writer took only one piece of the boy's chocolate.
    B. The way the boy was dressed is common nowadays.
    C. The wild-looking boy was very rude to the woman.
    D. The writer finds what happened in the coffee shop isn't funny at all.

         Recently educators have been questioning "prep school" (=preparatory school) (预科)
    where barely literate (受过教育的) high school athletes get their transcripts (成绩单) by
    taking courses occasionally and sometimes by taking no courses at all. The athletes then go
    on to famous sports universities, where they exhaust their playing years before landing back
    on the streets without job opportunity or college degrees.
         The prep school scheme was meant to avoid academic qualification rules for college athletes
    made years ago by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The N.C.A.A., which was
    slow to recognize the seriousness of the problem, has finally adopted policies to root it out. But
    those policies will not do the job unless everyone is involved, including prep schools and college
    athletics departments that still recruit (招收) students who do not meet academic standard.
         The prep school scheme sends a dangerous message to poor neighborhoods, where young
    people too often ignore their studies, believing that they will magically become millionaires once
    the world sees their athletic talents. Even worse, it encourages students to drop out of traditional
    schools before graduation-at which point their grade-point averages would be written in stone-to
    sign up with fake schools that can help them rewrite their academic records.
         The N.C.A.A. has begun to check nontraditional schools for their academic programs and has
    actually closed some. The organization has also stepped up to look into athletes' transcripts and
    will pay special attention to athletes who attended several schools, showed sudden jumps in
    grade-point average, transferred to another school late in the senior year or took an unbelievable
    number of courses in one term.
         These measures are encouraging as far as they go. But the N.C.A.A. will need to go much
    deeper into the problem if it hopes to break this scheme. For starters, it needs to make clear
    not just what courses high school athletes need to take to become qualified for college sports,
    but when they should take them. Until that happens, those who recruit young athletes will always
    be tempted(受诱惑的)to make fake academic record at the last possible moment for them.
    1. About students in "prep school", which of the following facts might NOT be true?
    A. Most of them are good at different kinds of sports events.
    B. They can easily be admitted to a university by cheating.
    C. After they graduate from university, they will usually find promising jobs.
    D. They seldom have good academic performance at high school.
    2. From the passage we can infer that ____________________.                
    A. High school students can change their transcripts by transferring to another school or take
    a lot of courses in one term.
    B. Transcripts of high school students can be very important reference for students to go to college.
    C. Most High school athletes can probably be awarded a bachelor's (学士) or master's degree
    after they graduate from universities.
    D. Transcripts of high school students are so important that they are recorded on metal
    3. We can conclude from the passage that the problems of prep school scheme might result
    from__________________.
    A. young people in poor neighborhoods who tend to ignore their studies
    B. many prep schools that carry out poor academic programs for high school athletes
    C. many college athletics departments that still recruit academically unqualified students
    D. school athletes, poor management of prep schools and irresponsibility of related college
    departments
    4. Having recognized the seriousness of the prep school scheme, the N.C.A.A. has taken all
    the measures EXCEPT____________________.          
    A. investigating and checking some prep school program
    B. shutting down some unqualified prep school
    C. listing compulsory courses and the number of course needed to be taken in high school
    D. checking some problematic transcripts
    5. What might be the author's attitude towards the prep school scheme?
    A. The writer thinks it a chance for high school athletes to go to college.
    B. The writer thinks more practical measures are needed to break it.
    C. The writer remains neutral (中立的) on this issue.
    D. The writer believes poor children will have little chance to go to college if prep school
    scheme is broken.
