题目内容



Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional（职业的） storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
小题1:Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A．hardB．colourfulC．easyD．rich
小题2:From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B．his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C．his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D．little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
小题3:Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A．Because she thought they never said anything good.
B．Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C．Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D．Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
小题4:In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A．silentB．modestC．talkativeD．trouble-making
小题5:Which is the best title（标题）of the passage?
A．My Unlucky ChildhoodB．A Storyteller’s Childhood
C．My Kind GrandmotherD．More talking leads to success

小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:C

There was a famous church in London. It was 110 meters high. The center of the church was like a bell. The ceiling of the church was painted by a famous artist.

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She said, “Victor and Elizabeth, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her so much. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university(大学). I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met Professor Waldman. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor and other important scientists helped me. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years. After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast(桅杆)about 150 metres high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Elizabeth married shortly after Victor’s mother died.
B．Elizabeth was a brave girl who loved Victor and gave him much help.
C．Victor’s mother was very angry when she knew he loved Elizabeth.

小题2:Victor did all the following during his research in the university EXCEPT that ______.
A．he discovered many things and built a scientific machine
B．he learnt much about death both in the hospital and in the university
C．he worked hard and took only one day’s holiday during the next two years
D．he built a tall mast to catch lightning and send the electricity down to the lab
小题3:According to the writer, the secret of life is to _______.
A．give life to things that were dead
B．build the best machine to learn about death
