I can honestly say it was the best of times and the worst of times．I was joyfully  36 my first Child at the same time that my once-energetic mother was   37 her battle with a brain cancer．
For ten years，my courageous mother had fought，but none of the operations or other  38 had been successful．Finally，she became totally  39 unable to speak，walk，eat or dress on her own．As she grew closer and closer to death，my baby grew closer and closer to life．My biggest fear was that their lives would never  40 she and my baby could never  41 each other．
My fear seemed  42 ．A few weeks before my  43 date，mother went into a deep coma(昏迷)and doctors said she would never  44 ．So we brought her to her own house．As often as I could，I  45 her about the baby moving inside me．I hoped that somehow  46 inside，she knew．
On February 3rd，at about the same time my labor(分娩)started at hospital，the nurse at her house told me the  47 news：Morn opened her eyes，sitting up and smiling．I asked for the phone to be  48 to Morn’S ear．
“Morn，you’II have a new grandchild!”
“Yes!Yes!I know!”
Four words。four _49__  and beautiful words!
For the next tWO miracle weeks after I brought Jacob home，she gave US joy，smiling，holding Jacob and speaking to the family in complete  50 Then she quietly slipped back into a coma  51 and was finally free  52 the pain forever．
Memories of my son’s birth will always be   53 for me，but it was at this time that I learned an important truth about living．  54 both joy and sorrow are lasting only a short time，and often intertwined(相互糾纏)，love has the   55 to face both．And love can last forever．

His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧視). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
小題1:When was Mandela arrested? 
A．In 1963B．In 1990
C．When he refused to be a chiefD．When he became the president
小題2:Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _______.     
A．winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa
B．Uniting South Africa
C．organizing a government in South Africa
D．controlling the spread of AIDS
小題3:If Nelson Mandela hadn’t fought against racial discrimination, he_______. 
A．could have been the president of South Africa
B．could still have lived a happy life
C．could have been in a difficult situation
D．would have been an excellent boxer
小題4:Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?

C．fight for equal rights
D．a(chǎn) great fighter against government.

There is a very special wolf that lives in Africa. They are actually called, the African wild dog, of painted dogs.
These animals live in open woodlands, or in the plains of Africa. Today, however, most of the animals can be found in eastern or southern Africa. These animals are beautiful. They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs, and they have four toes (腳趾) on each of their four feet, also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five. Their fine fur is always different from each other. The fur is usually a combination of black, brown, red, and white, and sometimes even yellow. No wonder they’re called the painted wolf.
The African wild dog is a very social animal. They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty. The members of a group are always very close to one another. They communicate in their own language or body language. When someone is very old or sick, the others will help, and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak, which is what we should learn from.
The family does everything together, from raising young, to sleeping together, to hunting. When they hunt, they will work together suing team work to kill animals that are larger than them.
They sometimes hunt farm animals. This is unfortunate, because both poachers (偷獵者), and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive.
Before, there used to be many large groups throughout the land, but now the African wild god is very rare. They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat thanks to human’s farming and forest cutting.
小題1:From the text we learn that the African wild dog         .
A．lives in the north of Africa
B．has sixteen toes altogether
C．has pointed ears like most dogs
D．lives in forests in groups
小題2:Why do African wild dogs get the name “painted dogs”?
A．They all have colorful fur.
B．The dogs in the same group are of different colors.
C．Artists love to paint them in different colors.
D．None of them has the same color.
小題3:According to the author, what should we learn from African wild dogs?
A．They always do everything together.
B．They help the sick, the elderly and the weak.
C．They are always very close to one another.
D．They communicate in their own language.
小題4:Which of the following is NOT the reason why African wild dogs are becoming very rare?
A．Poachers kill some of them.
B．They are short of food sometimes.
C．They are losing their habitat.
D．Farmers shoot some of them.
小題5:Where could this passage probably be found?

When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (運(yùn)球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
小題1:From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.
A．the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B．the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C．the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D．the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time
小題2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B．The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C．The days before the author went to senior high school.
D．The author's happy childhood with his teammates.
小題3:What surprised the author most at the recreation center?
A．That it was very near to his home.
B．That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C．That there was a special smell in it.
D．That there was a fast food restaurant in it.
小題4:The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.
A．it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B．it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C．it is the only way to make people stronger
D．it helps keep stomach power
小題5:What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A．To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
B．To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
C．To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
D．To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved children’s books of all time, and many adults enjoy it as well. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland. She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work.
The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much.
Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success. One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician. This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.
Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it.
小題1:The passage is mainly about _________.
A．Charles’ family life
B．the birth of a book and its lasting influences
C．a(chǎn) magical world called Wonderland
D．a(chǎn) girl’s adventurous experiences
小題2:Who first had the idea of making a book from the story “Alice Adventures Under Ground”?

小題3:Which of the following is the right order of the passage?

b. Charles had a picnic with three little girls on the Thames.
c. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was first printed in 1866.
