题目内容

On a freezing cold day, a couple had to move into a small apartment because of their failure in business. The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn't love me any more. He just cares about his business ...not me”．

One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay？”“Why not me first？” she asked. “I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay？”She was entirely unhappy.

One day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. A few words came into her sight. Reading them, she burst into tears. It was his diary：

Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said to her, “I was exhausted”. She was unhappy. In her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but what could I do? I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom. It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every day I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃.

Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ love.

1.Why did the couple move to the small apartment?

A. Both of them were out of work.

B. They wanted to live a better life.

C. The man could take better care of his business.

D. They were too poor to live in the former house.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhausted”？

3. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. They would live a richer life soon.

B. The woman misunderstood her husband.

C. The man would care less about his business.

D. The woman would get angry after reading the diary.

4. What's the best title of the passage?

D. Fight for the Bathroom

MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全）rules.

The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings. As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this area is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）.

Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.

1.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is .

A．an American living in Township 15

B．a Canadian living in a Quebec village

D．an American working in a Canadian church

2.Albert was fined because he .

A．failed to obey traffic rules

B．broke the American security rules

C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass

D．damaged the gate of the customs office

3.The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means .

A．a drive through the town

B．a race across the fields

C．a roundabout way of travelling

D．a journey in the mountain area

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A．A Cross-country Trip

B．A Special Border Pass

C．An Unguarded Border

D．An Expensive Church Visit

Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like good sportsmanship.

Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (具有运动家品格的人) respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.1. They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.

Kids usually learn sportsmanship — good and bad — from the adults in their lives. 2. If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.

3. Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.

Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life._ 4. Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.

So be a good sport in whatever you do！5._ When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that win?ning isn't the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills!

A．Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.

B．On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.

C．The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

D．Players' parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.

E．We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.

F．Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

G．If you're a good sport on the field, you'll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He wished he had a brother like that．But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.

No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there are evidence showing that the trend(趋势) is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com, 83% of the people say Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.

“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t wait to get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices(奉献), but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

1.Why was Garza’s move a success?

A．It strengthened her family relationship.

B．It improved her living conditions.

C．It offered her chances to make more friends.

D．It helped her know more new places.

2. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?

A．The majority think it will be a trend.

B．Few people responded sympathetically.

C．83% believed it had a bad influence.

D．17% expressed their support for it.

3. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?

A．They were unsure of themselves.

B．They wanted to live far away from their parents.

C．They were eager to raise more children.

D．They had little respect for their grandparents.

4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?

A. Sacrifice for their struggling children.

B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.

C. Make decisions for the most good of their own.

D. Get to know themselves better.
