While watching the Olympics the other night,I came across an incredible sight.The　1　was swimming and started with only three men.For one reason or another,two of them had a　2　start,so they were disqualified.That would have been difficult enough,not having anyone to 　3　against.
I watched the man　4　off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong.Now I’m not an expert　5　but I do know a good dive　6　a poor one,and this was not exactly medal　7　.I listened to the crowd begin to　8　this poor man who was clearly having a　9　time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was　10　.He made a few desperate strokes (劃水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few　11　strokes,the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing,but beginning to　12　.Some even began to　13　things like,“Come on,you can do it！”,and he　14　finished his race.The crowd went　15　.Even though he recorded one of the　16　times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other　17　.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals,feeling they have　18　been cheated out of gold,or when they act so　19　in front of their competitors,it is nice to watch an underdog (失敗者),a man that gave his all—knowing that he had no chance,but competed because of his　20　and the spirit of the games.

A friend is better than fortune. A friend is worse than poison in some cases. 
The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
　　My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (節(jié)儉). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.
小題1:This passage tells us ____.
A．how to make friends with others
B．how to help friends
C．what kind of person the writer’s friend is
D．what kind of person we should make friends with
小題2:According to the writer, an ideal friend refers to _______. 
A．a(chǎn) friend without bad habits
B．a(chǎn) famous man

B．the writer has a lot to learn from his ideal friend
C．the writer’s ideal friend has a lot to learn from him
D．the writer has only a little to learn from his ideal friend

A．friendship means a great deal to him
B．nothing can be done without friends

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum.
The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes— they are failing because the “ academic” classes are not sufficient.
It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art— there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge — certainly not a good preparation for the real world.
小題1:Music and drama are not included in the high-school curriculum mainly because________.
A．the school committee pays no attention to them
B．the school is afraid of losing financial support
C．the students are not interested in both of them
D．the state standardized test is more important.
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test
B．students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons
C．The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts
D．Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today’s school system.
小題3:We can learn that music and art can ________.
A．make students round-shaped people in future
B．provide students with analytical thinking
C．motivate students in creativity and expression
D．prevent students graduating from high school
小題4:The best title of the passage can be ________.
A．Who Killed Music and Drama?
B．Can Curriculum Go Without Music?
C．Why is Music So Important?
D．How To Prepare For the Real World?
