题目内容

I first met Annie Mae, a maid (女仆), at my parents-in-laws’ in 1959. She prepared and    36    meals in her quiet, gentle way and then returned to the kitchen to read her Bible (《圣经》) while we     37   . She was a devoted Christian. I found this increasingly true     38    I came to know her more by observation than by conversation.

My husband and I     39    visited his parents. Each time I saw her eating    40   , reading her Bible, I wanted to sit down with her and just talk.    41   , whites didn’t do that with blacks then, and I had to    42    the practice.

In 1965, I decided to     43    the furniture and return to my home state with my two     44    when my husband wanted a divorce (离婚).

Annie Mae asked if she could buy the boys’    45   . When I answered     46   , she asked the price. Then, she asked if she could     47    a little money each month. She was    48   , and I knew her well.

Then each month, an envelope     49    us from Annie Mae with 2 or 3 dollars. A year passed. Annie Mae’s    50    payment arrived along with the following note:

Dear Mrs. Holladay,

I am sending you my last payment of three dollars for the beds     51   . I told my two sons they could now put the beds     52    and sleep in them, for they are now paid for and rightfully    53    us.Thank you for your     54   .

Annie Mae

I read the note two or three times, my eyes filled with tears. Had I only known earlier, I would have said, “Use them now. Don’t     55    until you pay for them.”

 阅读理解 (共12小题;每小题2分,满分24分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I am an e-mail user. When I first started to use the e-mail system, I used to read all my e-mail. I didn’t have much mail. I gave my friends my e-mail address. Soon I had more mail than I wanted. Some of the mail was junk mail. I was worried. I didn’t want my mail to control me.

I’ve tried some methods to help me get control of my mail. First, I check my mail at the same time every day. Also I try to allow myself only 15-20 minutes every day to process my e-mail. This doesn’t always work, but I try. Sometimes I save the messages. Sometimes I just read them, maybe answer a few, and then delete(删除)them.

Sometimes I’m not at all interested in a message, so I don’t even open it. I delete it right away. This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home.

These methods are very simple. I have some friends who are very clever with computers. From time to time, they teach me new tricks for managing my e-mail. I’m still amazed at what e-mail can do for me! I’m still worried, however, about having too much to read.  

1. The writer used to read all his e-mail because _______. 

   A. he didn’t have much mail                      B. he had nothing else to do

   C. he didn’t know how to read mail            D. he was forced to do that

2. Which of the following does NOT belong to the ways of the writer’s dealing with his mail?

   A. Saving the messages.                    B. Just reading some.  

C. Deleting some.                         D. Passing some on to friends.

3. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?

   A. messages             B. friends                         C. computers             D. methods

4. What’s the purpose of the writer to write this passage?

   A. To share happiness in using mail with us.

   B. To share some worries in using mail with us.

   C. To share some methods of using computer with us.

   D. To persuade us out of using mail.

 

Wings of Angel 

I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   21  . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   22   than others.

I hated going to school and I hated people   23   at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing   24   and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   25   and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).

My friends found me   26   because I didn’t let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   27   Angela appeared.

That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would   28   me. That’s when I first heard her voice.

“Hi. Can I sit down?”

I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.

“What are you looking at?” she asked.

“Ants.”

“What are they doing?”

“No   29  .”

“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”

That was how our   30   started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche (处境) — until it was sunset.

Then suddenly, she saw my   31  . She just stared.

    My heart   32  . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   33   me now.

She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know   34   your back is hunched.”

I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be   35  . I begged in my heart for her to   36  , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”

“No,” I answered   37  .

She bent and whispered in my ears.

“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”  

I was   38  . I looked into her eyes and her   39   touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   40   myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.
