The Worst Part

Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”

I thought about that.

“Something on your mind?” he asked.

“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.

“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”

I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.

There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.

“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”

“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”

45．From the story we know that________.

       A．Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays    B．Leigh was a deserted boy

       C．Leigh’s dad lived in another city            D．Leigh’s mother often went to golf games

48．The worst part in Leigh’s eyes may be that________

三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。

Going back to school is a very exciting event for my two boys. It means getting new school bags and books, and seeing friends again after the summer holiday.

My oldest son, 9-year-old Salem, asked me several times where we would go to buy a backpack, while my other son, 6-year-old Abdullah, asked what school would be like this year.

For the last three years, school was a nightmare for many children and their parents as violence increased and there were more attacks on schools and teachers. As a result, many parents prevented their children from going to school. One of six children in this country did not attend primary school in 2009. Many kids who did attend school were accompanied by a parent for the entire day to make sure nothing happened to their children.

For poor families or those with large families, back to school can be an expensive time. The government gives some help to those living in poor neighborhoods, and school bags, note books and other items(商品) are given for free.

Most of the merchants who sell notebooks and pens now sell their products out on the street instead of in stores. They sit on the ground and lay their items on the ground or they have a small table to sell their goods.

The bags cost between $10 and $20, while clothes and shoes cost between $20 and $30. I found all the things I needed for my sons and even bought something for myself. I spent about $50 on each of them, including school uniforms.

At the end of the day, we returned to our home carrying many shopping bags filled with items that made my children happy and excited to go back to school. I just hope this school year will be a peaceful one.

56．The author’s children are ________ to go to school.

    A. eager                       B. afraid                              C. unwilling                 D. surprised

57．The underlined word “nightmare” is the closest in meaning to ________.

    A. fantasy                     B. dream world                    C. prison                      D. terrible situation

58．Many children are not going to school mainly because of ________.

    A. the terrible education system                         B. security problems and poverty

    C. parents’ distrust in schools                             D. the government’s inability

59．As a parent, the author ________.

    A. is unable to afford his kids’ schooling    B. is unwilling to send his kids to school

    C. hopes his kids have a happy school life         D. complains school education costs too much

Crossroads International

1. How does Crossroads work?

Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena (福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.

2. Who do we help?

They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.

3.

Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.

Those that donate goods and services:

●Factories             ●Manufacturers

●Hospitals             ●Hotels

●Educational Institutions      ●Householders

●Transport Companies   ●Offices

●Other Charities

While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

A. One resource that we are always in need of is people.

B. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.

C. What can I do?

D. The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets.

E. How do we operate?

F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.

G. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services.

It is likely that water is not ____ endless resource, nor ____ that can be made once more.

A. the; /        B. an; one          C. an; that        D. /; one
