One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle ' s history was paralyzed(癱瘓的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next. Citizens of New Castle simply refer   to it as  " The Miracle" .
Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from  the waist down. Four hospitals later, the only way he could walk was through Robotic Walking  Treatment.
"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the  inevitable (不可避免的事)  and  cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.
Then , the night before his cancelled appointment, he woke up to a terrible pain. An hour  and a half later ,the serious pain left him with an unusual feeling in his legs.
" As it continued to move up my legs ,it became more and more painful and it took an hour  and a half to reach my hips(臀部) , " Joel recalled.
"I stood up and walked into my parents'  room. ' Mom and dad, look! ' ," he said proudly.
" He said something and I was like, ' Joell Joel !  You ' re walking !  You ' re walking ! '  We  jumped out of bed , cried and hugged, "  Joel ' s mom  Karen remembered.
"I burst into tears. It ' s hard seeing your son not be able to walk .but he was standing there , walking , "  Joel ' s  father  Eric  said , tearfully.
It was Thursday , January 23 , when he  could finally  walk. That  date  made  perfect  sense  to Joel. He had dreamt of a calendar that only said "J 23 " . He didn't know what to make of it until "a little boy at church ,four years old, came up to me and said, ' you will walk on a Thurs-day ' , "  Joel recalled. 
So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.
小題1: According to the passage , " The Miracle"  is that ________
A.Joel Haler became the most famous basketball player
B.Robotic Walking Treatment could cure paralysis
C.Joel Haler could walk again after three months ' paralysis
D.a(chǎn) paralyzed boy could play basketball well
小題2: Which part of Joel Haler' s body didn't work?
A.His whole body.B.His legs and feet.
C.His arms and hands.D.His arms and legs.
小題3:Before Joel Haler ' s walking again , his attitude  to  the illness was ______.
A.positiveB.indifferentC.optimisticD.hopeless

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D
本文敘述了一個著名的籃球運動員癱瘓在輪椅上,但是第二天突然又能夠走路的奇跡故事。
小題1:C
【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)文章1,2行One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle ' s history was paralyzed(癱瘓的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next.可知一個著名的籃球運動員癱瘓在輪椅上,但是第二天突然又能夠走路了。這里的The Miracle就是指這件事情。故C正確。
小題2:B
【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from  the waist down.可知Joel Haler醒來時發(fā)現(xiàn)自己腰部以下都癱瘓了,腰部以下的正是腿部和腳。故B正確。
小題3:D
【試題解析】推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the  inevitable (不可避免的事)  and  cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.可知Joel Haler取消了和醫(yī)生的約會,說明他想放棄治療了。故D正確。
【長難句解析】
So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.
【翻譯】所以這位20歲的大學畢業(yè)生,星期二的時候只能依靠機器人才可以行走,現(xiàn)在卻是靠著自己就行了。
【分析】本句中的非限制性定語從句who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday用來修飾我們的先行詞student,who在句中做主語。非限制性定語從句與先行詞的關(guān)系不夠緊密,省略對句子的意思也沒有太大的影響。

IT is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), the Irish-born writer, is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today. Few of Shaw’s more than 60 plays, novels and essays are performed or read anymore. And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world. Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today, in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues, not only in Britain but on the stage of the world. In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.

Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment, Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day. The plight (苦難) of the poor and the working class, the situation of women and the institutions of society, such as the education system ---- Shaw was among the most well-known figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play, Widowers’ Houses (1892), deals with the question of slum (貧民窟) housing. His Mrs Warren’s Profession (1893) brought a controversial topic to the stage.
Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too. He was an early member of the Fabian Society, which argued for the socialist cause in the UK. Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics.
If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language. “Youth is wasted on the young,” he wrote. He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲學) in a few memorable words. For instance: “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
小題1: Shaw’s influence on the modern world comes mainly from ______.
A.the changes he brought to the British culture
B.his philosophies on the role of government
C.his awareness of social problems of his day
D.the support for the London School of Economics
小題2: Widowers’ Houses is a play that mainly focuses on ______.
A.the failure of the UK education system
B.the housing problems of poor people
C.robbery incidents in slum areas
D.socialist movements in the UK
小題3: By describing Shaw’s quotations as “part of the furniture of the English language”, the author means that Shaw’s words ______.
A.have become the best part of English
B.have greatly developed the English language
C.have made the English language philosophical
D.have become an inseparable part of the English language
小題4: Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw’s works is TRUE?
A.They should be adapted for modern readers.
B.They are mostly about the lives of working class.
C.They deal with important social issues of their day.
D.Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.

I’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.
Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.
No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.
Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!
小題1:. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?
A.A love for reading.B.Picture books.
C.Good health.D.A lovable pastime.

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小數(shù)).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,”  I answered,and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
小題1:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is enough to do the necessary.
小題2:Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.
A. recite their homework together
B. grade their homework themselves
C. answer their homework questions orally
D. check the answers to their homework questions
小題3:The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.
A. asked questions in a regular way
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. requested her students to finish their usual questions
小題4:The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
小題5:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. An Unforgettable Teacher
B. A Future Mathematician
C. An Effective Approach
D. A Valuable Lesson

It is a wonderful morning, as I write this: hot, but without being too hot.Outside my window, I can see the sunniest sky of the year reflected in a huge natural expand of water.It is the kind of sun that makes you well aware of summer's temporary nature a reminder that if I am ever to go around to book this year's holiday, time is running out.
It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday.This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it.You might say this sounds like saying you are not very good at drinking tea or listening to music.What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere to do nothing?
So what is my problem? On the surface, I'm probably a bit of homebody.And I just find the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun.Somehow, packing a carefully itemized(詳細列舉的)list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.
Thankfully, I am not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey highlighted the downside(負面)of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal.And this year's the Idler magazine published its hook, Awful Holidays.Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically-damaging vacations it's possible to take, along with 50 horrible holidays experiences voted for on the idler website. Over the last decade, The Idler has become well known for promoting the idea of an easy, lazy life.The leisure(休閑)industry might seem an unlikely target of its criticism, but Dan Kienan, the book ' s editor, says that he was flooded with entries from readers for his list of awful holidays.
小題1:According to the first paragraph we can know that the writer        
A.has a strong desire to book a holiday
B.wishes that the weather would change
C.finds it is too late to enjoy the sunshine
D.realizes it's time to decide whether to go on a holiday
小題2:The reason why the writer dislikes going on holidays is that         
A.it usually costs too much money
B.he is tired of making preparations too much for holidays
C.it is far less enjoyable than breaks planned in advance
D.he feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn't
小題3:We can learn from the survey that        
A.most people pretend to enjoy their holiday
B.a(chǎn)ll people fail to relax while they are on holiday
C.a(chǎn) lot of people feel that the benefits of going on holidays are limited
D.many people have made the same decision as the writer and most of his friends
小題4:The writer takes the book of Awful Holidays as an example to       
A.damage the reputation of the magazine
B.prove the idea of living an easy, lazy life to be wrong
C.indicate that his dislike of holidays is widely shared
D.focus entirely on bad personal experiences of holidays

Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would      : surfing. But isn't that a boy thing? Some people     . Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and      in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first      was the best feeling I had ever experienced.

The one thing I can       from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the "best surfer" because the ocean     an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive and     . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it       from any other sport.
I've      to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new     , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start     the limits of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰)?
There're women    side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys      the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to      , and they will.
