While she may be best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films，Emma Watson would rather be known for something else—her mind.
The 18­year­old British actress intends to put her acting career on hold to pursue higher studies at a university after she finished filming the final installment，Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Watson，whose parents are both Oxford graduates，recently scored straight A's in her A­levels. She is now on a gap year before starting university.
Earlier this month，Watson applied to two of the top universities in the United States—Harvard and Yale. She admitted that Harry Potter series has brought her fame and financial security(經(jīng)濟保障)．She has made more than ￡ 10 million so far，but now she “has a need to study”．
“I think the entertainment business is such a temperamental one. One minute you're up there and the next—nothing，”she said.
Watson is growing up in front of millions of viewers(觀眾)．She was only nine years old when she started playing the role of Hermione. And the way she figured out how to deal with media attention is “try not to read too much of what is said and try to distance myself a bit from it”．
Watson has other interests. These include，interestingly，fishing and she has helped raise money for the Wild Trout(鱒魚)Trust.
小題1:Which of the following topics is not mentioned in the passage?
A．Watson's interests.B．Watson's intention.
C．Watson's success.D．Watson's worries.
小題2:The underlined word “temperamental” in the fifth paragraph means ________.
A．difficultB．differentC．changeableD．practical
小題3:The underlined word “it” in the sixth paragraph refers to ________.
A．readingB．media attentionC．playing the role of HermioneD．the viewer
小題4:From the passage we may infer that ________.
A．Watson doesn't want to continue her acting
B．Watson felt very proud of being known as Hermione Granger
C．Watson hasn't read too much so far
D．Watson was born in a well­educated family

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:D

試題分析：本文介紹了哈利波特系列電影中的另外一個角色Emma Watson的信息。

小題2:C 推理題。根據(jù)本段“I think the entertainment business is such a temperamental one. One minute you're up there and the next—nothing，”she said.可知娛樂界是非常容易變化的，一分鐘你會高高在上，一分鐘以后你就什么都沒有了。故該詞是指容易變化的。C項正確。
小題3:B 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段And the way she figured out how to deal with media attention is “try not to read too much of what is said and try to distance myself a bit from it”．說明這里的it就是指上一句中的media attention故B正確。
小題4:D 推斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段Watson，whose parents are both Oxford graduates，recently scored straight A's in her A­levels. She is now on a gap year before starting university.可知她的父母親都是牛津大學(xué)的學(xué)生，說明他的家庭教育很好，故D項正確。

One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son and his girlfriend in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children. Later, I discovered that I was completely wrong.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson, ” I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a winter night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with.
Finally, in desperation（絕望）, I called his girlfriend’s house. His girlfriend answered．“Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.”
He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm, patient．After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him．They had done nothing wrong．My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake． Well, it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it．It was only part of the truth.
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday．My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts --- a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.
小題1:The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children because
_____.
A．she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter
B．she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend
C．the older children have always loved the younger ones
D．she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night
小題2:Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that _____.
A．her son had brought his girlfriend home
B．her son had left home with his girlfriend
C．she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son
D．she should have taken the children along with her
小題3:“It was only part of the truth.” implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but also _____.
A．had their pictures takenB．received some gifts
C．had a birthday partyD．showed off their best clothes

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel(剝……的皮) potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow(肘). Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked(窺視) out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf（利益）. She had never let me see her tears.
小題1: Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes?
A．Cruel. B．Serious.
C．Cold. D．Strict
小題2: What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply(暗示)?
A．Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
B．The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C．Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.
D．What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.
小題3: When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because _________.
A．they felt sorry for what they had done before
B．they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt
C．they were astonished to find the author’s progress
D．they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars
小題4:The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.
A．the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep
B．the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own
C．Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph
D．in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth

Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Lisa. That’s where the similarities ended.
I was tall and she was small. My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she liked me and wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to answer any other way. My family had moved six times in six years, and I had never managed to develop any friendships. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.
She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an all-right bookstore, a movie theater and a park. As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, I tried to guess which house might be hers. Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three –story house with a front porch? I got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
When we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was my next surprise. I had never played with them. We sat on the floor, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon .
Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the movie theater gave her free tickets…. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other’s houses and spent every free moment together.
Lisa, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
小題1:The writer and Lisa were similar in the way that          .
A．they were both new students
B．they had the same hair styles
C．they were both tall
D．they were of the same age
小題2:One day Lisa invited the writer         .
A．to go to the movie
B．to go to walk in a park
C．to go to her home
D．to go to a pizza place
小題3:In the passage the writer described Lisa as a girl who was       .
A．friendly and lovelyB．rich and happy
C．quiet and lonelyD．a(chǎn)wkward and shy
小題4:Which of the following did the writer learn from Lisa?
A．How to make up stories.B．How to deal with enemies.
C．How to live a better life.D．How to make friends.

Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him in as a student.
Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions (指導(dǎo)). But he just did not have any inborn ability.
I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏會) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part. I agreed but I made him perform last in the program, so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby!  How’d you do it?”
“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”  That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.
小題1:Why did Robby stop coming to the piano lessons suddenly?
A．He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.
B．His mother was too sick to send him to the piano lessons.
C．He thought his teacher disliked him.
D．His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.
小題2: Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The writer thought playing the piano shouldn’t start too late.
B．The writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lesson.
C．The writer taught Robby carefully although he hadn’t a gift for music.
D．No one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well.
小題3:From the underlined sentence we can infer that  _______.
A．the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him
B．the writer thought Robby a bad advertisement for his teaching
C．with Robby present, the other children couldn’t play well
D．the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time
小題4: What did the writer learn from Robby?

At the age of seven, I went to see my grandma in Warwick and spent the summer with her. One day I went to a general store with a   34 full of what Grandma needed.

“So ? I’m not your   36 ! You should get yourself a basket and start filling,” Miss Bee, the owner of the store, said   37  without smiling. “If you’re   38  you’ll be home by sunset.” Sunset was five hours away.   39 , the store was a puzzle, and I wasn’t sure if I would make it.

All summer long I was always tricked by Miss Bee. No sooner had I memorized the soda’s location on the shelf than she rearranged the shelves and made me  43 it all over again. But by summer’s end the   44 trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stepped in to get a bottle of water.
“What did you   45  this summer?” she said.
“That you’re so mean!” I whispered.
To my   46 , Miss Bee laughed. “When you get older, you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
Glad I met Miss Bee ? No!

“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” Suddenly, I was   48  at that general store where Miss Bee had really taught me something all those years ago.
