“This morning? 8 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, he can get us through9.’”
The entire crowd turned 10. Mom paused and thought for a moment about 11she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being 12. But then we heard, “Honey, you are13. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then 14they ran.

1.B。外面下雨了，人們都在躲雨，等候雨停。下文母親的話“We’ll wait until...”也給出了提示。從后半句看，一些人耐心，一些人有些惱怒，所以不能說大家都在抱怨。
2.C。別的人惱怒，當(dāng)然因?yàn)榇笞匀坏耐蝗唤涤甏騺y了他們正常的工作生活節(jié)奏。
3.D。雨水沖刷走了世界上的塵土和臟物。
4.A。catch me相當(dāng)于catch my attention，“引起了我的注意力”，因?yàn)榇饲拔艺磷碛谟晁畮淼母惺苤�。并沒有讓我惱怒，也談不上給我留下了很深的印象。
5.A。slow down指雨下得緩和一點(diǎn)，不能說stop a bit，停止不存在程度上的一點(diǎn)。
6.B。此句話和前面說的話一樣，所以是重復(fù)了一遍。
7.A。小孩子想讓母親一起在雨中走，而母親又沒有答應(yīng)，所以孩子要拉著母親的手往外走。
8.C。從女兒的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母親是問小孩自己是什么時(shí)候說那話的。
9.C。如果上帝能讓小孩的父親度過這一難關(guān)，則能讓他們度過任何“難關(guān)”。
10.B。still一動(dòng)不動(dòng)；silent沉默，不出聲。對(duì)于小孩的這一天真美好的愿望，大家顯然都事先沒有想到，所以都在沉默，并靜觀下面事情的發(fā)展。
11.A。what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，what在句中充當(dāng)say的賓語(yǔ)，母親在考慮要和女兒怎么說。
12.B。母親知道，孩子說出的話，在一些人看來肯定會(huì)是有點(diǎn)傻的，因?yàn)樯系凼遣淮嬖诘�，這種愿望只是一種幻想。dishonest不誠(chéng)實(shí)的，欺騙的。孩子的說法是一種美好愿望，當(dāng)然算不上是欺騙。
13.A。母親不愿破壞孩子的童真，所以表示贊同“你是對(duì)的”，是肯定孩子的話就是自己講過的話，而不是說孩子聰明。
14.A。run off跑開。此處強(qiáng)調(diào)off，故把這個(gè)詞提前。
15.D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling，laughing可以看出母女的行為已引起了人們的關(guān)注，他們都在看著母女倆在雨中跑。
16.A。從定語(yǔ)從句可知，母女的行為也感染了其他的人，又有幾個(gè)人也加入她們的行列，在雨中奔跑。follow跟著。
17.B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。這幾個(gè)人一邊跑一邊又叫又笑，很興奮。
18.C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父親得癌癥了，所以說境況可以帶走人們的健康。
19.B。從下文“… make memories every day!”可知，自己創(chuàng)造的美好記憶是不會(huì)被帶走的。
20.B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住機(jī)會(huì)做某事，為固定搭配。該句的意思是“抓住創(chuàng)造美好記憶的機(jī)會(huì)。

She was short and 7and had white hair. She was walking8 as each step took some effort. I hadn’t specially noticed her9, until she stopped near a rubbish bin(垃圾箱).
She slowly placed her walking stick10 the rubbish bin. Then she leaned (斜倚著) on it with her right hand. She bent down and11 the rubbish. She clearly found it12 and it took her a while. She13 some rubbish with her left hand and slowly straightened herself up again. All the while she used the rubbish bin to 14herself. She threw the rubbish inside the bin and then 15walking. It all took her great effort.
There’s no much rubbish and no one ever does16 about it. I was moved to17 this old woman make such a great effort to keep even a small part of it18! I haven’t been able to19 thinking about that all day.

Only once a year, on his birthday, did Charlie Bucket ever get to taste a bit of chocolate(巧克力糖). The whole family 1 up their money for that 2 occasion(時(shí)刻), and when the great day arrived, Charles was always 3 with one small chocolate bar(條)to eat 4. And each time he 5 it, on those wonderful birthday mornings, he would place it 6 in a small wooden box that he 7, and treasure it as though it were a bar of solid 8; and 9 the next few days, he would 10 himself only to look at it, but never to 11 it. Then at last, when he could 12 it no longer, he would peel(剝)back a tiny 13 of the paper wrapping at one corner to 14 a tiny bit of chocolate, and then he would take a tiny nibble(輕咬)——just enough to allow the lovely sweet taste to 15 out slowly over his 16. Then next day, he would take 17 tiny nibble, and so on, and so on. And 18this way, Charlie would make his six-penny bar of birthday chocolate 19 him for more than a 20.

The Young Can't Wait
By Severn Cullies Suzuki
When you are little, it's not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty（貧困） and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect（反�。� your words.”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激） action. Now, a decade（十年） from Rio, after I've sat through many more conferences, I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual's voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I'm learning that as we have to make choices—education, career, lifestyle—life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren't taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and naive.
Today I'm no longer a child, but I'm worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.

  1. 1.

    The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _______.

    1. A.
      end poverty and make school beautiful
    2. B.
      find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves
    3. C.
      end poverty and solve the problems about environment
    4. D.
      find a wonderful place and clean it up
  2. 2.

    What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to _____.

    1. A.
      a long period of laughing             
    2. B.
      a warm welcome
    3. C.
      an expression used for greeting     
    4. D.
      a long period of clapping and applause
  3. 3.

    It becomes clear that the writer is possibly _________ now.

    1. A.
      in his teens     
    2. B.
      in his twenties

Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding the speeches made by native speakers. The following ways might help improve your listening skills.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Don’t go on to the second book until you are sure you understand the first one.
Secondly, keep studying one course. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more popular.
Thirdly, listen to the English news over the radio from time to time. Better look through the news stories in Chinese-language newspapers first. That will make it easier for you to understand the English news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in Special English from the V.O.A or other listening materials of the same level as those of your textbook.
