【题目】Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced (保养)at a nearly garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car I agreed happily. I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 pm. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result being late. I thought if dad knew what I had donehe could never let me drive again. So when I drove up the place where we had planned to meet and saw dad waiting patiently on the comer. I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs.

“I'm terribly sorry that you have to lie to me, Janson.”

“What do you mean. Dad? I'm telling the truth.”

“I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see. I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”

“But it’s dark, and it's 18 miles to walk home.”

I pleased(请求)all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles.

It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson.

【题目】 What might life be like if you looked very different from others? Most of us are lucky to be born with “normal” faces. But the movie Wonder (《奇迹男孩》) shows us that there is no such things as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.

Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (面部畸形). He has spent most of his life being home-schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with some unfriendly classmates and learn to accept himself as he is.

In the United States, most kids are taught that it is OK to be different. People don’t look down upon being special. But some kids have difficulty accepting this. It is easy to play tricks on someone who is different, especially if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another central theme from the movie ---- even the kids who laugh at Auggie have their own personal struggles.

As Auggie’s classmates get know him better, they come to find that he’s a nice kid with a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude to him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people a chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.

1Which is NOT true about Auggie according to the writer?

A. He has a facial deformity.

B. He has been home-schooled for many years.

C. His family sends him to a private school.

D. He always becomes sad because of others’ attitude.

2We can tell that Auggie’s school life is ________at the very beginning.

A. happyB. hardC. excitingD. normal

3Some kids laugh at Auggie because they________.

A. have a sense of humorB. accept his difference

C. have difficulty accepting different peopleD. want to be home-schooled as well

【题目】任务型阅读.阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。

Chris is not a traditional explorer(探险者)— he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.

Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster(灾难). Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programs that help people.

At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical stall taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize last year. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical(热带的)diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency(紧急) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.

But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you get is a great help in your career. Besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives.

________________.

2When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people?
