题目内容

  When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.

  When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.”

  As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.

  For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.

  Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation.

  That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.

55. The author wrote the passage to __________.

  A. recall the happy times he spent with his son

  B. tell us that children are full of curiosity

  C. tell us how to let children love nature

  D. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent

56. The author showed David the ants to _______.

A. prevent him from becoming bored

B. develop his enthusiasm for observation

C. teach him some new words

D. arouse his interest in creatures

57. Which of the following can best describe the author’s viewpoint?

  A. Make children have their own hobbies.

  B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible.

  C. Satisfy children’s interest by possible means

  D. Hobbies can determine one’s future

58. The underlined word “intensity” in the third paragraph probably means “_______”.

  A. hatred       B. fear       C. curiosity     D. doubt

  As my train was delayed for two hours, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I gave my wife a long-distance call. Then I 1 my way to the luggage office to collect my heavy suitcase. I had left it there three days before. There were only a few people 2 , and I took out my 3 to find the receipt 4 my case. The receipt seemed not where I had placed it. No matter how 5 I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.

  When my 6 came, I 7 the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me 8 as if to say that he had 9 this kind of story many times and asked me to tell him 10 my case was like. I told him it was an old brown-looking object, not different 11 the many cases I could see in his office. The assistant then told me to 12 a list of what was 13 in the case. If they were 14 , he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the things I had hurriedly put into the case and 15 them down as they came to me.

  After I had done this, I went to 16 round the office. There were hundreds of 17 there. For one 18 moment, it came to my mind that if someone had picked the receipt he could have easily taken the case already. This had not happened fortunately, for I found the case 19 in the corner. After 20 the things inside, the assistant was satisfied that it was mine, and told me I could take the case away.

  I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.

  When I walked into the living room my 12 year-old son looked 1 at me and said,“I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. 2 several seconds all I could do was stand there and 3 down at him. My first thought was he must need 4 with his homework or he was trying to 5 me for some news.

  Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”

  “Nothing.”He said,“My teacher said we should 6 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an 7 .”

  The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this“experiment”and how the other parents had 8 .

  “Basically, most of the fathers had the 9 reaction as you did.”The teacher said,“When I first 10 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”“The 11 is,”the teacher explained,“feeling loved is an important part of 12 . It’s something all human beings 13 . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too 14 we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 15 to tell his dad that he loves him.”

  The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 16 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.

  When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for an extra second. And just 17 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice,“Hey, I love you, too.”

  I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, 18 it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says,“I love you.”It would not take me a whole 19 to think of the right 20 .

My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."
   When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.
   I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."
   He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.
【小题1】 Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?

A.He wants to remember and thank his coach.
B.He wants to show that he is a basketball player.
C.He wants to tell his sister about the words.
D.He wants to use the words to test a person.
【小题2】Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?
A.To see whether he was confident.
B.To see whether he was good at sports.
C.To see whether he was selfish or not.
D.To see whether he could get along with others.
【小题3】During the basketball game, Barack ______.
A.played best all the timeB.was strong enough to play
C.was not confidentD.wanted to be the team leader
【小题4】 The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".
A.please (使满意)B.know aboutC.helpD.look for
