Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget at the Kentucky Association of School Administrators.
They introduced the young musician---Mr Patrick Henry Hughes. He was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music.
About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video about Patrick Hughes.” Then the lights were turned down.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints(关节), which left him disabled for life. However, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he was playing records people asked for. His father was ecstatic. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s. He’s also a part of a 214-member marching band(游乐乐队). He’s a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; he and his father do it together. In order to attend Patrick’s classes and every band practice, his father works the night shift(夜班) at United Parcel Service. Patrick says, “My dad’s my hero.”
On stage, between songs, Patrick talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me musical gifts and the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, the crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.

试题分析：文章介绍了Mr Patrick Henry Hughes一个年轻有为的音乐家的励志故事，他从小就是一个盲人，并且身体还是残疾的，只能呆在轮椅上，但他有音乐的天赋，而且从小就表现出了这种才能，他的父亲从小也给了他很大的勇气，也和他一起参加了学习并取得了优异的成绩。为了让他去参加学习班和乐队的练习，他的父亲在夜场工作去支持他。他的学习也取得了好的成绩。
小题1:D词义推测题。His father was ecstatic. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”句意为:他的父亲是------，我们也许不能打棒球，但我们可以一起弹奏音乐。四个形容词的词义分别为：relaxed adj 放松的；disappointed adj失望的； anxious adj 焦急的，焦虑的；delighted adj高兴的，从他父亲的话中可知应是高兴的。故答案应为D。
小题2:C细节理解题。Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s.今天，Patrick是一个低年级的学生，他的父亲也参加了班里的学习，课程得到的几乎全是A。所以由此可知答案应为C。他们是一起学习的，所以A是错误的；In order to attend Patrick’s classes and every band practice, his father works the night shift(夜班) at United Parcel Service.为了参加Patrick 的班级学习，他的你你亲作夜班工作，故B是错误的；C选项文中没有表述。
小题3:D细节理解题。Patrick says, “My dad’s my hero.”Patrick说，我的父亲是我的英雄。从此句中可知在他的心目中他的父亲是很伟大的，所以他应该是很尊重他的父亲的，故答案应为D。
小题4:B中心理解题。On stage, between songs, Patrick talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me musical gifts and the great opportunity to meet new people.”文中的倒数第二自然段点明了主题，在舞台上，Patrick向观众讲述了他的生活，他是多么的幸福，上帝让我失去了视力，什么也看不见也不能走路，但他也是很公平的，他给了我音乐的天赋和去见到其他人的机会，所以Patrick是在说明，上帝是公平的，我们要珍惜眼前所拥有的东西，感谢我们所拥有的东西。

I have a cousin who’s a farmer. If you saw him on market day with his old boots and worn hat, you might think he was a tramp (流浪汉). But he’s either buying or selling       for thousands of pounds. He doesn’t have a luxurious lifestyle, but the farmhouse, dozens of acres of land, machinery, cattle, chicken and crops must be worth a fortune. You might describe him as a       man, but he doesn’t look like that.
My father owned a shop selling newspapers, cigarettes, birthday cards, toys, books and magazines. The shop       a comfortable life for us, but we weren’t rich. The only luxury was that my father owned a car when most people in our town couldn’t afford one,      professionals such as doctors and lawyers.
My point is that       can be misleading. You often can’t       the rich from the way they look.

The so-called Elgin Marbles can be seen in the British Museum. The Earl’s castle was       cold, despite a fire burning in the hearth (壁炉). He explained to us,“I’m sorry it’s so cold, but you should know that a gentleman’s house is always cold.”

There’s a body of water in Israel that is actually below sea level. Water constantly runs into it, but, because of the law of gravity (万有引力定律)，nothing can flow out of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake? It’s called the Dead Sea. It’s called this because no living thing could live there. The water is almost dead, compared to what happens with “living water”.
When you think of the term “living water”, the image that comes to mind is a rushing river that is flowing. It’s filled with life and movement. It doesn’t just “receive”, but is also “giving” simultaneously.
Many of us believe that we need to receive more of something in order to be happy. Whether what we desire is money or something else, we think we need more of it in order to be fulfilled.
As a result, we begin to operate in fear and therefore don’t give anything because we’re afraid that we won’t have enough. The result? Like the Dead Sea, we become lifeless. Life is meant to flow. when a pool stops flowing, it becomes stagnant(停滞的). Stagnant water breeds disease and death. It can’t breathe. It can’t receive any more. If nothing is flowing out, there’s no room for anything else to come in.
The solution? Give. As you give, you’ll receive. It’s a universal law. You see it at work everywhere. we’ve somehow been deceived （欺骗）into believing that if we don’t give, we’ll have more. Or we’re afraid that if we do give, we won’t have anything left. On one hand, this seems to make sense. But it doesn’t work. Because when we don’t give, we shut off the flow of what’s coming in.
小题1:What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A．The development of the Dead Sea

B．The special character of the Dead Sea

C．The position of the Dead Sea

D．The present situation of the Dead Sea

小题2:According to the passage, people wouldn’t like to give because________.

A．be like a pool with stagnant water

B．have enough space for what you’ll receive

C．need something more to be satisfied

D．do everything according to the law

小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Give and you’ll receive	B．The secret of the Dead sea
C．A universal law	D．come in and come out

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases(障碍赛跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants(残余部分) of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反复无常的情况) and a challenging environment.
小题1:The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when＿＿.

A．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away

B．everyone seemed to be free for others

C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house

D．nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school

小题2:In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____.

A．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday

B．such answers are rarely heard in our modern society

C．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday

D．visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past

小题3:From the last paragraph we may infer that_____.

A．people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment

B．people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life

C．land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense

D．people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity

小题4:What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial.

B．We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives.

C．Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest.

D．We should abandon some old tradition.

A little part of me thought about going to another checkout line．This one had the shortest    ，there was only one guy in it，but he was in a     and there seemed to be some difficulties     ．

I offered to get the other bigger bag and he said，“No．    you could do me a favor．Take that bag along to the entrance and give it to Angela．"
Angela，it    ，was collecting food for people who might      go hungry! I hadn’t even     her before.
This guy，in spite of the limitations，had bought more than twice as     shopping as he needed—and given the bigger bag away to help     people!
He didn’t let the fact that he needed help      him from being a help．He may have been limited    ，but his heart was more than able to overcome all that．

Patrick says, “My dad’s my    .”
But even more than his     musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that _   my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how   _   he was with a great father. When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and     for over five minutes.
We all face misfortune in our lives.    ，it’s not the hardship but how we     to it that will determine the joy and happiness in our lives. During     times, do we spend too much time feeling     for ourselves, or can we, with gratitude, learn how to dance in the rain?
