题目内容

I am usually in a bad mood after a long day at work, but on this particular Friday afternoon I was in a high mood．I planned to have a good meal and watch Bridget Jones’s Diary.
My local supermarket is always busy．The first parking space I spotted was convenient, but I’d noticed a woman in an old car circling for a while．I let her have it．On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot — it was a tight fit.
In record time I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air．In a rush of good spirits, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse (倒车) into a parking space.
Just as I spotted my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier．I smiled and wished her a pleasant day.
As I got back into my car, I spotted the same lady looking in at me．“ Hello,” she said, hesitantly (犹豫地)．“ This might sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother’s things off at the charity bins.” I looked quickly at the orange bins in the corner of the parking lot, confused．“ I saw you helping those people, and you seemed so happy．My mom had a dress just like that.”
She looked at me meaningfully．I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes．“ I was going to give these away, but you are just so much like her.” She passed a box in through the window．Shocked, unthinking, I took it automatically (无意识地)．“ I think she would like you to have it.” She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box．Inside was a beautiful gold necklace．It was the nicest gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger.
Later, I thought back on the day．I didn’t feel the usual sense of exhaustion．The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.

1.This Friday afternoon, the author ________.
A． watched a new movie

C． was in the mood to help others
D． spent a long time in the supermarket
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A． She was not very wealthy actually.
B． She considered her dress beautiful.
C． She had met the lady’s mum.
D． She was living on charity.
3.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A． Success leads to happiness．
B． Good is rewarded with good.

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out．90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting．But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it．One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting．Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day，and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much．

Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again．Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better．Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself．Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas．After all，that is why we write．

Handwriting involves two skills．One is legibility，which means forming the letters so they can be read． The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it．Fluency continues to develop up until high school．

But not everyone masters these skills．Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting．Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs．

But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school，especially in the early years．American children traditionally first learn to print，and then to write in cursive，which connects the letters．But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board，which administers the SAT college admission test．More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive．

1.From Paragraph 1 we can learn ________．

A． teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job

B． most teachers prefer to teach handwriting

C． teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting

D． a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely

2.The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________．

A． being easy to read

B． being complex

C． being unexpected

D． being unreadable

3.The best title for the passage is ________．

A． How to improve handwriting in school

B． Right or wrong: the death of handwriting

C． Handwriting involves two skills

D． Handwriting lessons are on the way out

4.The author’s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________．

A． negative

B． objective

C． critical

D． optimistic

The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs which suddenly ________ to the surface，fighting each other，but fortunately the three men ________ get away.

When Kate's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带）around a bomb”．Such comments seem to suggest Kate had a big influence on the art world of her time．Sadly，she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time．

Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kate suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven．Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older．Then，in 1925，her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident．Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations，but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back．However，the accident had an unexpected side effect．While lying in her bed recovering，Kate taught herself to paint．

In 1929，she got married to Diego Rivera，another famous Mexican artist．Rivera's strong influences on Kate's style can be seen in her early works，but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．

Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s，even in her home country．Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953．For more than a decade after her death in 1954，Kate's works remained largely unnoticed by the world，but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last．

1.What does the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most probablymean?

A． A far better artist．

B． A far more gifted artist．

C． A much stronger person．

D． A much more famous person．

2.The terrible pain Kate suffered was caused by．

A． polio

B． her bent spine

C． back injuries

D． the operations she had

3.Kate's style had become increasingly independent since the．

A． 1930s

B． 1940s

C． 1950s

D． 1970s

4.What is author's attitude toward Kate?

A． Devotion．

B． Sympathy．

C． Worry．

D． Encouragement．
