题目内容

My son Joey was born with badly twisted feet．The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally—but would never run very well．The first three years of his life were spent in treatment，casts and braces．By the time he was eight，you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk．

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play，and Joey would jump right in and run and play，too．We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children．So he didn't know．

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross—country team．Every day he trained with the team．He worked harder and ran more than any of the others—perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him．Although the entire team runs，only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school．We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team．so he didn't know．

He continued to run four to five miles a day．every day—even the day he had a 103-degree fever．I was worried．so I went to look for him after school．I found him running all alone．The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever．Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running．We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever．So he didn't know．

Two weeks later，the names of the team runners were called．Joey was number six on the list．Joey had made the team．He was in seventh grade—the other six team members were all eighth-graders．We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team．We never told him he couldn't do it．We never told him he couldn't do it…so he didn't know．He just did it．

56．The boy didn't know according to the second paragraph．

A．he was unlikely to run well

B．his mother wanted him to exercise more

C．most children ran around and played

D．the doctors didn't cure him completely

57．Joey trained hardest in the team probably because ．

A．his coach urged him to do so

B．he was aware of his natural disability

C．all the others had run faster than him

D．his mother knew he would never make the team

58．What is the mother's attitude towards his son's running with a fever?

A．Excited and critical B．Annoyed and doubtful

C．Worried and supportive D．Disappointed and disapproving

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

A．You can make it B．An inspiring mother

C．Never tell him D．A lucky boy

60．What is the structure of the passage?

As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I 31 as hard for victory as they did. A dramatic incident, 32 , following a game in which I acted as a referee , 33 my view on victories and defeats. I was 34 a basketball game in New Rochelle, New York, between New Rochelle and Yonkers High.

New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien and Yonkers 35 Les Beck. The gym was full, and the volume of noise made it 36 to hear. The game was well played and 37 competed. Yonkers was leading by one point as I 38 the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play.

Yonkers, in 39 of the ball, passed off--shot--missed. New Rochelle 40 --pushed the ball up court -- shot. The ball rolled around the edge and off. The fans shrieked(尖叫着). New Rochelle, the home team, took 41 of the ball again, and tapped it in for what looked like 42 . The noise was deafening. From the 43 I saw that the game was over.

He said, "Mr. Covino, the buzzer rang as the ball rolled off the rim, 45 the final tap-in. "

I 46 tell Coach O'Brien the sad news. “Dan, Yonkers won the game. ” His face 47 . The young timekeeper came up, saying, “I’m sorry, Dad. ” 48 , like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, Coach O'Brien’ s face lit up. “That’s 49 , Joe. You did what you had to do.

The woman at the airline ticket counter in Munich, Germany, just shook her head. “I’m sorry, but there’s no more availability on this flight,” she said. God, I thought. My husband, Bob, and I had enjoyed every moment of our dream vacation, two weeks in Europe, but I was ready to go home to Shreveport, Louisiana, and sleep in my own bed. Bob could see how frustrated I was. “We’ll just have to try to get on the flight tomorrow,” he said. “Let’s enjoy the extra day.”

My son Joe, a First Lieutenant (中尉) in the Army 82nd Airborne Division (空降师), would be returning to Ft. Bragg in North Carolina for a short rest and recovery from his tour of duty in Baghdad, and we weren’t sure we’d be able to see him in the little time he’d be stateside. Plus, the time was so up in the air! Back at our hotel, I checked my e-mail to see if our daughter-in-law Monica had any news on when Joe was due to arrive. Sure enough, there was a message. “Joe’s been delayed again,” it read.

The next morning we made it onto our flight back to the States. Unfortunately, we had to stop in Atlanta. Our connecting flight there was delayed because of bad weather. The hours passed. I felt the frustration building. “That’s it!” I finally said. “I just want to get home!”

That’s when I saw a group of soldiers coming down the ramp(通道) from one of the gates. I thought of Joe. They’re coming back from a war, I reminded myself, while I’m coming back from vacation. What right do I have to be frustrated? Maybe the troops were God’s way of reminding me to trust in his time. Bob grabbed my arm. “Look at those soldiers coming down the ramp.”

“I see them,” I said. Bob persisted, “Do you see who’s in front?” Suddenly, all those delays across all those miles made perfect sense. I rushed toward my son Joe’s open arms.

73. Why did Bob say “Let’s enjoy the extra day”?

A. To stay one day more. B. To cheer his wife up.

C. To visit other attractions. D. To meet his son there.

74. In the second paragraph the author mainly tells us .

A. her son was a First Lieutenant in the Army 82nd Airborne Division

B. when her son would return to the US for a short rest and recovery

C. she didn’t know the exact time when her son would return to the US

D. she saw if her daughter-in-law Monica knew when Joe would arrive

75. The author felt frustrated because .

A. their flight couldn’t land as a result of bad weather

B. the bad weather caused their flight to be put off an hour

C. they didn’t wait for their son Joe to match on the airport

D. the bad weather had made their connecting flight delay

76. Where did the author happen to run into her son Joe?

A. At the airport of Atlanta. B. At the airport of Shreveport.

C. At the airport of Ft. Bragg. D. At the airport of Baghdad.
