题目内容

When I asked my mom why I was so short when I was 7 years old,she explained that I have a medical condition called dwarfism(侏儒症) .

At first,I was very sad. I wanted to be tall,mainly because of the way people reacted to me. Kids would say mean stuff,like's weird how you' re so short.w In elementary school,whenever classmates would bully(欺侮) me,I'd run away and cry.

Life outside school can also be tough. At the local amusement park,I' m not tall enough to go on all the rides,so sometimes I have to sit on the sidelines while my friends have fun.

I'm now in the seventh grade,and I'm four feet two inches tall. And you know what? It doesn't matter!My height no longer bothers me like it did when I was little. I met a girl at school named Nevaeh,who is my best friend,and she has helped me realize that it's not what's on the outside that matters — it's what's on the inside.

Nevaeh doesn't even mention my height when we hang out. In fact,if people tease us about being short (she's only six inches taller than I am) ，we’ 11 make jokes,like, “We’ re not short. We’ re fim-sized!” I refuse to let unkind people get me down. I'd rather turn something cruel into something funny,laugh it off,and move on..

One of my favorite things to do is prove people wrong. Take basketball,for example. Since it's a sport associated with tall people,I was determined to play. And for almost two full seasons,I didn't make a single basket!But then,during a game last year,I stole the ball from a girl. I got to take two free throws. It was amazing. Everyone cheered. The experience made me realize that if I can score baskets,I can do anything.

I'm not going to let my height get in the way of achieving my dreams.

(个人情况)

本文是记叙文.文章讲述了一位患侏儒症的女孩的成长经历.

22. D.推理判断题。由第四段末的she has helped me realize that it's not what* s on the outside that matters 一 it's what's on the inside 可推断，作者因为Nevaeh学会了不要太在意外

I also had to figure out which charity the donations would 50 . I decided to let the donors 51 for their favorite.

I 52 a Greek physicist named Archimedes,who once said, “Give me a lever(杠杆) 53 enough and a place to stand,and I can move the Earth." So I named my organization the Archimedes Alliance. Pretty 54,right?

Finally,in the summer before eighth grade,my bar mitzvah arrived. I gave a speech,and lots of people donated on the spot. I felt so 55 and excited.

Then I sent an e-mail to everyone I knew and who my parents knew,letting them know how to donate. I have to admit,I was seriously 56 . Few people donated and even fewer passed along my 57 . I realized: This is going to be way 58 than I thought. But I was 59 . So I kept sending e-mails and talking about my project to 60 the message.

I've started to learn ancient Greek. It doesn't urge you to communicate,only to learn,and I find the early hours of the morning the perfect time for that. I love routine. I wait until 7 am to have tea. At 7:30 I make breakfast. After that,I read the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.

I read Marcia every day; it was his philosophy that got me through my son Matthew's 滅 death,four years ago in a motorcycle accident. Aurelius said: ‘What we jESHBlBl cannot bear removes us from life.’

Matthew's death was such a waste. At first I would rather have been dead too,but then I thought: ‘No. I mustn't do less. I must do more!'

I am what you might call a late developer. I was 40 before I wrote my first novel,62 when I went to university. My husband,Neil,was a talented jazz musician,but at 25 he developed a serious illness,losing his speech and the use of the right side of his body. It was hell for all of us. We were so broke,and we lived on national assistance for ages.

I wrote my first novel while Neil had his weekly music therapy(疗法) . That 50-minute therapy was all I had. I used to sit in a cafe and write and write while couples had life-and-death quarrels around me. Gratefully,my family supported me in my writing career.

My daughter Emma gave me War and I loved it so much. Then it hit me: I hadn't read it at all,I'd only read a translation,and I so longed to read the actual words. A kind elderly Russian lady taught me the basics and I joined the Russian language degree course at the University of London. I gained the degree in my sixties and a PhD at 74. People talk about ‘the time of their lives’. Well,that was mine. Don’t!et anyone tell you your memory goes with age. It's there if you want it enough. Gradually I forced it into action — it was such an exciting experience. Oh,the joy of learning.

24. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Learning. B. Communication.

C. Having tea. D. Following routine.

25. Shortly after Neil fell ill,the author.

A. led a difficult life

I really think the way most young people use modem technology are almost antisocial. Last week my cousin came over for the dinner. She’s seventeen and addicting to her mobile phone. All through dinner she was on her phone,send messages and chatting online. We were both there having a conversation,but she was in her own little world. It was quite strange and annoyed. When I asked her about it,her reply was “Well,I need to stay touch with my friends”. However,I'm really not convinced that this way of using technological really does this. After all,there had lots of us there together but he wasn’t in touch with us at all!

America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners) . It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in prison by helping them go straight when they got out.

Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state,setting off a fierce new debate.

A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo's proposal (提议) .

Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New York's prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.

“You pay $60,000 for a prison cell for a year，”Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years,and that5 s $600,000. Right now,chances are almost half. Once he's set free,he's going to come right back."

Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $5,000 a year per person. He argues ,“It's a small amount of money if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison."

But even some members of the governor's own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell,whose upstate district includes three state prisons,says taxpayers just won't stand for inmates getting a free college education,while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids,college fees.

“That is the vast majority of feedback(反馈) that I'm also getting from my constituents (选民） she says. “You know, ‘ Where is the relief for the rest of the population who obey the law? ’ ”

“I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed,” says Gerald Gaes,who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. In 1994,President Clinton stopped federal student aid programs for inmates.

Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers’ money over time,by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.

“It is cost-effective,” he says. “Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York State."

32. The underlined word “rehabilitate” probably means “ ”. ,

A. let people know more about prisoners

B. help someone have a normal life again

C. allow prisoners to experience the world

D. encourage someone to help other people

33. What is the debate about?

A. Lawmakers,rights in New York.

B. College classes for New York's citizens.

C. Higher education in New York's prisons.

D. Punishments given to New York's criminals.

34. Cuomo does the calculations to prove .

A. almost half of prisoners are likely to come back into prison

B. college classes for inmates can save taxpayers’ money

C. the costs of running prisons in the US are on the rise

D. it is very difficult to reduce the number of inmates

35. Most of Russell's constituents believe Cuomo's proposal .

A. is unfair to middle-class families

B. will benefit citizens obeying laws

C. will be useless for improving prisons

D. is based on most taxpayers’ feedback
