They think they're lucky and it's Christmas again. They can't see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren't much good. Johnny and the children can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn't eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer(陰溝).
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they're ashamed of their lives. I'd like to see the children would be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.
小題1:The writer's family is the poorest one on that street.
小題2:The McGarity girl is characterized as rich and nice.
小題3:The writer thinks Miss Jackson is an example her children should follow.
小題4:The writer wants to move out of that district.
小題5:Watching the rich girl eating cookies, those hungry children cried.

小題1:B
小題2:B
小題3:A
小題4:A
小題5:B

試題分析:在作者居住的社區(qū)有著很多窮人，與這些人相比，他的孩子們認為自己是幸運的，但是作者卻在考慮搬出這個環(huán)境，希望孩子們能夠在一個更好的環(huán)境里成長。在本文中作者描述了社區(qū)中各型各色的人們，有喜歡炫耀的the McGarity一家，也有Miss Jackson這樣好心的人。
小題1:B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Johnny and the children can't see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt可以判斷作者家不是最窮的，故本句內(nèi)容錯誤。
小題2:B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中對The McGarity girl行為的描述可知The McGarity girl富有但是心地不善良，故本句內(nèi)容錯誤。
小題3:A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章末句I'd like to see the children would be like Miss Jackson when they grew up. 可以判斷此句內(nèi)容正確。填A(yù)。
小題4:A細節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段中My children must get out of this. 可以判斷作者想要搬出這個地方，本句內(nèi)容正確，填A(yù)。
小題5:B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts可知孩子們內(nèi)心在痛苦，而沒有哭，故此句內(nèi)容正確，填A(yù)。

It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred (同類的) spirits. "He’s a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful. "Maybe you’re only seeing him with your eyes." She was silent for a moment and then added softly, "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her. "You’re quoting (引用) that! It’s from The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery’s book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded. "I love it. I’ve read it so often. I’ve practically memorized it."
Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie —more than anyone I know —possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn’t that I didn’t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life —things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth-grade problem child. One day I was at my wit’s end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded.
"He’s probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.
Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her has become one of my happiest memories.
小題1:What does the underlined part mean in the fourth paragraph?
A．I was unsure of how to treat my son.
B．I decided to give up my job.
C．I faced financial difficulties.
D．I was very disappointed with myself.

A．They both were interested in children’s education.
B．They both liked a novel, The Little Prince.
C．They often chatted together about their families.
D．They both worked in the same school.
小題3:We learn from the text that __________.
A．the author has the gift of seeing with the heart
B．the author had no friends before meeting Jennie
C．the author had lost her mother before her marriage
D．the author seldom praised her son in the past
小題4:How does the author feel about her family?
A．No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things.
B．She didn’t get along well with her husband and son.
C．She once seldom spoke to her mother.
D．She felt quite lonely in her family.
小題5:The text is mainly about _________.

Instead of staying at home to care for the kids, many mothers work to help support their families. But what does a mother do when her child is sick?
Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys — things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.
However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift. Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”.
She thought that it would be turned into a full-time business. In 1998, she started Baby-Cakes.com. After several years, her business grew and expanded in a way that even she had never expected. She sold her products online at first. Three years after her own website was created, demand for her products was so great that in August, 2001 she opened a real store. She is ready to combine the online store with the traditional store.
小題1:Sophia was out of work because     .
A．she wanted to start her own business
B．she lost interest in computer programming
C．she failed to design computer programs
D．she couldn’t balance her work and family
小題2:What made Sophia decide to create “baby cakes” for sale?
A．Her unemployment.B．Her family’s support.
C．Her friends’ suggestion.D．Her market research.
小題3:Which of the following is the right order for Sophia’s events?
a. She set up her first real store.
b. She turned her hobby into a business.
c. She used both traditional and online selling.
d. She set up her own website for her products.

About a month ago, while in the drive through at Starbucks, I noticed a woman in a car behind me who appeared to be having a bad day. There were two kids in the back who seemed to have too much     at 8 am on a Sunday morning, because they were shouting loudly. The      moved slowly and at one point while I was pulling the car forward, the sad woman behind me     my car. I could tell this     her. The entire time that I waited in line for my coffee this woman didn’t     .
Looking back at her I could tell she was wondering “Why me? Why today?” When I      up and paid for my coffee I requested that the barista(咖啡吧員) of Starbucks give the woman behind me a smile card and paid for her coffee.
Just 30 minutes later I was again      in line at Starbucks. I heard a slam of a car door but thought nothing of it. I was     when the same woman came up to my driver’s side window. She     me a twenty-dollar bill and the same smile card I had given to her. She smiled and said, “These are for you. You are the    one who gave these to me     , right? All I need you to do is ask the barista to give the      back to me.” It was amazing! It was as if this woman had been waiting to show her      for what I had done!
When she got back into her      today she was all smiles. I could tell she had the same feeling as I had on that early Sunday morning. It was nice to have my coffee paid for, but what made me feel even better was seeing the happiness and smile on her face.
As I pulled out of the drive-thru, she waved and yelled out, “Have a     day!” I yelled back “You too!” and waved her goodbye.

Not long ago, few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astronauts. For years in the United States, on1y men had that opportunity . In 1983, that changed. Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.
On Monday, Ride died at the age of 61, ‘‘Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model,”President Barack Obama said in a statement. “She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars.”
Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. “If you asked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut ,I’m sure I wou1d have said yes,” she said in a 2010 interview . “ But I didn’t even think about that as a possible career.”
After studying physics in college and graduate school, Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASA’s astronaut training program in 1978, and then chosen to be the first American female in space. In 1983, she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shuttle.“There is no amusement park ride on the Earth that even comes so close,” she said.
Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in1984 . Between the two missions, she spent a total of 343 hours in orbit. After that, she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids. She co-authored six science books for children , and started her own science education company.
Ride knew that she he1d a unique place in history . “ I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing,” she said.
Since Ride’s historic trip, more than 40 other American women have traveled to space. They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier.
小題1:Sally Ride was regarded as a national hero because she___________ .
A．was the first American to travel to space
B．opened a door for women to find jobs suitable for them
C．became the first American female in space
D．was the first to travel on the Challenger

D．the trip to space was far more interesting than any ride on the Earth

a. accepted into an astronaut training program
b. spent a total of 343 hours in orbit
c. co-authored six science books for children
d. traveled to space aboard the Challenger

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
小題1:What’s the right order of the following events?
① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.
② I went to the jungle.
③ I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.
④ I lay on the ground to have a break.
⑤ I picked fruits and chopped firewood.
A．②③⑤①④B．⑤③②④①C．②⑤④③①D．⑤④③②①
小題2:How does the author feel about the ant?
A．He admired its attitude toward work.
B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
C．He showed sympathy for the little ant.
D．He was content to have it as a companion.
小題3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably          .
A．work harder than beforeB．talk to the man on the horse
C．make his way homeD．stay in the valley
小題4:We can learn from the passage that the author          .
A．enjoyed being alone
B．experienced a world of quietness
C．missed his busy life in the city
D．had an unforgettable adventure
