【題目】A

The old lady got up early to be ready for the post．Although she seldom received letters or parcels，today she was sure there would be something．Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she seldom wrote at other times．Of course Myra was busy．Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself had got a medal for her work for the aged．

The old lady was eighty today．She had put on her best dress．Perhaps Myra might come．The old lady was sure of that．Two spots of color brightened her cheeks．She was excited--like a child．She would enjoy her day．

Mrs. Morrison，a social worker，had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast．Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake．The little boy from the ground floor，Johnnie，had been up with a packet of candies，and offered to help her fetch the post．

“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents，“he said，I did last week when l was six．”

What would she like ? A pair of slippers，a table lamp，a book or a little clock．So many lovely things．

She stood by the window，watching．The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle．Her heart beat fast．Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate．And then he gave her four envelopes．Three were unsealed cards from old friends．The fourth was sealed，in Myra’s writing．

“No parcel，Johnnie?”

“No，granny．”

Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post．That was it．It would come later by parcel post．She must be patient．

But disappointment flooded her．She tore the envelope open unwillingly．A cheque fell to the floor like a bird with a broken、wing．Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up．With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits．

【1】What kind of work did Myra probably take?

A．charity B．paperwork

C．a(chǎn)ccounting D．education

【2】What does the underlined word “it” mean?

A．The reunion time she looked forward to．

D．The slowest way to send a gift．

【3】How is the passage organized?

A．In order of time．

B．In order of space．

C．In order of frequency．

D．In order of importance．

【4】The author seems to tell us that ．

A．there is no love like that of the parent for the child

B．to accompany our parents should be the first law of nature

C．a(chǎn) mother’s voice is the most beautiful sound in the world

D．we never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】

【1】判斷推理題 根據(jù)第一段最后一句Myra herself had got a medal for her work for the aged．邁拉自己也由于熱心為老年人服務(wù)而獲得一枚獎?wù)隆?/span> 可知，她從事的是公益性的工作。

【2】詞義猜測題 根據(jù)上一句Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post. 也許是包裹太大了，沒法隨信件郵件同來。對了，準是這個緣故。

【3】細節(jié)理解題 很明顯文章講的是老太太生日那天起床后發(fā)生的一系列事情，是按時間順序來寫的。

【4】判斷推理題 文章講述老人生日那天等待女兒的禮物，最終以失望傷心告終。結(jié)合第二段第三句Perhaps Myra might come．邁拉或許會來�？梢娎先讼Ｍ畠耗軌蚧貋�。作者通過這個故事想告訴我們應(yīng)該多陪陪父母，陪父母是自然的首要法則。

請閱讀下面短文，并按要求以O(shè)ur Life Rests on Our Choice為題，用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具體的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.

Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to color1 ful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.

Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.

【題目】Dear Friend,

The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there.

And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.

Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me.

But am I good enough?

I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help.

Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing ability, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles.

Free test and brochure

We offer a free ability test and will send you a copy of our brochure（小冊子）describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.

Realize your writing dream today. There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.

Sincerely,

Kristi Hill, Instructor

Institute of Children’s Literature
