题目内容

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   36 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it  37  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   38 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 39 with each sweep they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the   40 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   41  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and  42  12 frozen peas hidden underneath.
At the time I found those few remaining  43 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  44  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded  45  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   46  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   47  his new surroundings and the 48  of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you   49  , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never  50  , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  51  , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   52 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   53  you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   54 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,  55  will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Children today would rather toy with new technologies. The role of children has changed as well as that of teens. The world has truly evolved (进化)throughout the years.
Today,a typical day in the life of a five year old is entirely different from what it once was. A few decades ago children used to work. They did the kind of work parents do today. Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections. They think they have to look perfect all the time.
Teens have changed as well. My grandma got married when she was thirteen. Girls who had an arranged marriage had no time to play because they were expected to cook, clean,take care of the kids, and do housework every single day. Today,we go to school every morning, maybe participate in some after-school activities, and possibly go to work for extra cash. Then we go home and do homework, and eat. After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.
The generation before us complains about how they did not have the things we have now. They say we are not appreciative and do not value life or just do not care about our futures anymore. Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.
小题1:The role of children and teens has changed mainly because _____.

小题4:The author's attitude towards changes of teen’s life is _____.
A.critical B.neutral C.optimistic D.complaining
One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank.There I would   36  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   37  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   38  in the trees.I would also watch the bamboo trees   39  under pressure from the wind and watch them   40  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   41  .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind.When used in   42  to a person, this word means the ability to readily   43  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's   44  .
Have you ever felt like you are at your   45  point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the   46  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health.You felt emotionally drained(枯竭),   47  exhausted and you most likely stood   48   physical symptoms.
Life is a   49  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments.The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   50   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   51  don't break.Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A measure of hope will take you   52  the unpleasant ordeal (考验).With   53   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   54  if the final result is worth having.
If life gets   55  and you are at your breaking point, show resilience.Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!

One cold night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a    26   practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart.I was having    27   handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked I thought seriously about    28    both acting and San Francisco.I had    29  too much of city life.   
As 1 walked down the    30    streets under the tall buildings,I felt very small and cold, so I began    31   both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers.Very few people were still out    32   a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my    33  , I heard a sound behind me. I    34 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty.All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still,the noise had made me    35   , so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I    36    what the noise had been.It  had been my wallet    37  to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired any more.I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise.Although I searched the sidewalk    38   for 15 minutes,my wallet was   39 to be found.
Just as 1 was about to quit the    40  , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to   41 .When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was   42 .How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an amused look in his eyes, “Is this   43  you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.
It was already 3 am. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep,but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some    44  of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place    45   people were willing to help each other.

I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of   36  my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet   37 . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd   38  to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway   39  the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart   40  with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the   41  small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   42  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   43  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   44 , at these prices, I don't know."
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   45  you have together."
She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   46  as she placed the package in her basket and   47  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then   48  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   49  smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and   50  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   51 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   52 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost   53 . How did she know?
Suddenly the   54  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   55  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

My six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time.”Grandma, you are an antique(古董),”she said. "You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique."
I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster's Dictionary and read the definition(定义)to Jenny.I explained, "An antique is not only old, it's an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,"I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. "They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old."
"I'm only 67,"I renunded Jenny.
We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from rone aunt to another and finally to our family. "It's very old,"I told Jenny.“I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques."
There was a picture on the wall purchased at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. "Now  that's an antique," I boasted. "Over 100 years old." Of course it was marked up and scratched and not in very good condition. "Sometimes age does that," I told Jenny. "But the marks are good marks. They show living, being around. That's something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become." It was important that I believed this for my own self-esteem.
Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn't buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They'd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. They'd lasted through years and years. They could have been tossed away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.
For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l don't have any antiques but you," she said. Then her face brightened. "Could I take you to school for show and tell?"
"Only if I fit into your backpack," I answered. And then Jenny's antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.
小题1:Grandma read the definition of "antique" to Jenny in order to         .
A.list all the important characteristics of antiques
B.tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques
C.change Jenny's shallow understanding of antiques
D.express her disappointment at being called "antique"
小题2:Which of the following information did grandma convey to Jenny?
A.The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.
B.The marks on the picture showed its age and value.
C.There was usually a sad story behind each antique.
D.She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.
小题3:By saying "I don't have any antiques but you" (Paragraph 7), Jenny meant         .
A.grandma was a treasure to her
B.antiques were rare and valuable
C.she had nothing but a few possessions
D.grandma and antiques had a lot in common
小题4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up.
B.Jenny had a strong desire for grandma's love.
C.Jenny was too young to know grandma's humor.
D.Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny.
小题5:What can be the best title for the passage? 
A.Jenny's AntiqueB.A Story of Antiques
C.A Tour of AntiquesD.Grandma's Antique
My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don't know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug(拥抱) their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity for nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.
小题1:I hugged and kissed my father at every opportunity,______.
A.even though I hated to do so

小题2:My father trusted no vehicle with less than four wheels because _____.
A.he did not like the way I always borrowed bicycles from friends
B.he thought that cars were faster than motorcycles

A.I wasn't allowed to have a car when I was growing up.

D.He was very open with his feelings and his love.
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?

C.My father was always proud of what I did. He was very pleased when I won a spelling contest at school.
D.My father bought a motorcycle, but got rid of it because he fell off it so often.
This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.
But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (阴影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (炉子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (烦躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
小题1:What does the underlined part (in Paragraph 2) mean?
A.It was time to cook hot soup for Bryan that night.
B.This was the evening when Bryan stayed with his grandma.
C.Bryan would have a good rest that night.
D.Bryan would stay with his parents that night.
小题2:Why didn’t the author want to stay with her grandson that night at first?
A.She was too tired to have fun or play games with him.
B.She was sick and wanted to have a good rest.
C.She was too busy and had to work overtime that night.
D.She had to prepare soup for the whole family.
小题3:How many times did the author describe Bryan’s eyes?
A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.
小题4:From the passage, we can infer that _____.
A.Bryan’s parents separated so he had to live with his grandma
B.Bryan was sad that night because his grandma didn’t play with him
C.the author wouldn’t want to stay with her grandson any more
D.the author and her grandson loved each other very much

She was a five-year-old girl with very fine golden hair when I first met her. She was carrying a bowl of _36_. I was 29 at that time and suffering from the flu.
Her mom and I had been friends for years._37 that friendship grew into care, from care into   _38_ and marriage. Marriage brought the three of us together as a _39_. At first I was afraid to be a “stepfather”. Therefore, I tried not to come _40_ my future daughter and her   41  father. I acted in that way in order to be liked. However,   42  she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to   43  with her.
Once her school required the parents to individually write an open and   44  letter to our children. I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had   45  me a bowl of soup when I needed   46 .
A week later, all the parents 47  together with our children. The students were allowed to make a few statements. I was   48  to hear what my daughter would say.
Finally my daughter   49  make her way up to the microphone. She said something like others and then  50 , “At this very moment, I just want to say …I love you, Father.”
Immediately people around me started   51  at me. For a teenage girl to say  52  in front of so many people, “I love you,” took a great deal of courage.
Since then I have   53  to understand I didn’t need to have any   54  about being a stepfather. I can still   55  honest love with the same little girl I met so many years before - carrying a bowl full of what turned out to be kindness. I can also be friends with the girl - my dear daughter.
