A traveler lost his way and got off the highway to see where he was. As he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigpens and pigs running in fields. Suddenly, his eyes caught something really strange. It looked like a pig with a wooden leg.
He drove up into the arm, where he met the farmer. “ Excuse me, ” the traveler said. “ I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I just had to stop and ask about it. Tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg?” The farmer smiled. “ Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He’s the finest pig I’ve ever had ---and smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig.”
“ One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I fell down and knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out. There is no question about it ---- that night old Caesar saved all our lives. You know that I’m not going to forget it too easily.”
“ Why,” the traveler said, “ this is amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me, how did he get that wooden leg?”
The farmer laughed and said, “ Well, when you have a pig so smart, you don’t want to eat him all at one time!”
小題1:The farmer thought the pig _______.
A．very fatB．very cleverC．very kindD．very strange
小題2:The passage indicates that _______.
A．the pig lost a leg in the fire
B．the farmer deeply thanked the pig
C．the pig had a very good keeper
D．the real leg had been eaten by the farmer
小題3:The author wants to _______.
A．report a piece of news
B．tell us a moving story
C．tell us a humorous story
D．have a joke with us

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:C

試題分析：文章講述了一個幽默的故事。一頭聰明的豬救了主人一家，農民不舍的把它殺死，就只是吃掉了它的一條腿。
小題1:根據(jù)第三段“...He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out.”可知，那頭豬救了農民一家人，它是聰明的。故選B。
小題2:根據(jù)最后一句“”“ Well, when you have a pig so smart, you don’t want to eat him all at one time!”
當你有一頭如此聰明的豬時，你不會舍得一下子就把它吃掉（農民先吃了它的一條腿）。故選D。
小題3:根據(jù)文意可知，作者看到一頭有木制腿的豬，好奇地問農民是怎么回事。農民給作者講述了一個豬救人的故事。但是，聰明的豬仍然難逃被宰殺的命運，只是，農民沒有舍得把它殺死，而是想分多次把它吃完。這是一個幽默的故事，文章不是新聞報道；豬雖然救了人但難逃厄運，這不是令人感動的故事；作者沒有給讀者開玩笑。故選C。

Inventor，physicist，surveyor，astronomer，biologist，artist... Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. Once he worked with renowned（有名聲的） men of science like Christian Huygens，Antony van Leeuwenhoek，Robert Boyle，Isaac Newton and the great architect，Christopher Wren.
Hooke’s early education began at home，under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of thirteen，and from there he went to Oxford，where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and devising（發(fā)明） instruments. In 1662，at the age of twenty－eight，he was named Curator of Experiments of the newly formed Royal Society of London. Hooke accepted the job，even though he knew that it had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through the microscope was one of his favorite occupations. He devised a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (軟木) under a microscope，he saw honeycomb－like structures. They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact，it was Hooke who coined the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院)．
Perhaps because of his varied interests，Hooke often left experiments unfinished. Others took up where he left off and then claimed sole(獨占的)credit. This sometimes led to quarrels with colleagues. One work that he finished was his book MICROGRAPHIA，a volume that reveals the immense potential of the microscope. The book also includes，among other things，ideas on gravity and light which may have helped scientists like Newton while they were developing their own theories on these phenomena.
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(隕石坑) on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.
小題1:From the first paragraph，we can know that Robert Hooke __________.
A．was famous because he worked with many scientists
B．liked making friends with the famous people
C．received a lot from other scientists
D．made contributions to many different fields
小題2:Robert Hooke probably went to school in __________.
A．1647　　　B．1634C．1662D．1640
小題3:Robert Hooke made himself known to some of the best scientists in England by __________.
A．learning by himself with his father’s help
B．introducing himself to them
C．designing experiments and instruments
D．refusing any reward from Royal Society of London
小題4:Robert Hooke couldn’t get along well with his colleagues because __________.
A．he couldn’t finish his work on time sometimes
B．he had all kinds of interests in his daily life
C．he was too proud to look up to them
D．the other scientists took the fruits of his experiments

Emilio and Michi spread the colorful tablecloth on the table. They made room for Drew, who was carrying a dish. “Watch out,” Drew warned. “This is pretty hot.”
A moment later, Kent and Alyssa added another hot dish to the table. “That smells so good!” said Michi. “Are most of the parents here yet? I’m hungry.”
Kent looked through the doors that led into the hallway. “I think Ms. Milano and Mr.Hasselbach just finished giving them the garden touring. They should be heading into the cafeteria next.”
The students of Jefferson Middle School in Saint Louis, US had spent all afternoon preparing for the evening meal. They did their best to transform the lunchroom into a beautiful dining area for their families.
As the families found their seats, Ms. Milano asked Drew, Emilio, and Michi to join her at the front of the room. She said, “I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Drew, Emilio and Michi for their wonderful idea. A year ago, they first came to me with the plan for starting a garden at Jefferson. I wondered whether it would work, but they had thought through everything. Any time I had a question about how we would make this work, they had an answer prepared.

Ms. Milano handed Drew, Michi and Emilio a box each. They opened their box as Ms. Milano continued. “As a thank-you to these students for their creative idea and hard work, they have each received a stepping stone(墊腳石)for the garden. Their names and date appear on the stones.”
She turned to them. “Students for years to come will be enjoying the garden that you helped create,” she said. “We thought it would be appropriate for them to have a reminder of our garden’s founders.”
They held up their stepping stones and smiled as the crowd clapped. “And now,” said Ms Milano, “please help yourself to some of the mouthwatering food our young chefs have prepared. Dinner is served!”
小題1:What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?
