【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady's missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑).
I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didn't answer at first —– she couldn't hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.
Do you know how much hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin（機艙）
The lady wasn't even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady's seat; I wasn't impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.
The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldn't. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.
Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.
What a rush. “I found it!”
With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I haven't the words to express my thanks!”
（1）Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor?
A.She is a religious Buddhist nun.
B.She fell down from her seat.
C.She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.
D.She wanted to stand out among the passengers.
（2）What do we know about the old lady?
A.She ignored the author's question on purpose.
B.She is an American.
C.She lost her hearing aid by accident.
D.It was not difficult for her to get the hearing aid at all.
（3）Where was the hearing aid found?
A.On the previous flight.
B.Close to the old lady' seat.
C.On the wheelchair.
D.In another jet cabin.
（4）According to the last two paragraphs, what is the old lady's attitude towards the author?
A.Respectful
B.Doubtful
C.Supportive
D.Grateful

【答案】
（1）C
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】文章講述作者在坐飛機的過程中一位魏女士把助聽器丟了，作者也幫助找了很久，當(dāng)下飛機時，作者不放棄，在女士的座位下找到了，她十分感激。

（1）C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady's missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles.作者趴在地下，找一個女士丟失的助聽器，故選C。

（2）C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段提到The lady wasn't even sure where or when she had lost it.這個女士不確定在哪或什么時候丟的，故選C。

（3）B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段提到Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.看，一個小的黑色物體吸引我的注意力，在她的座位下，可知是在女士的座位下找到的，故選B。

（4）D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I haven't the words to express my thanks!”非常吃驚和感激，這位女士說，我無法用語言來表達我的感謝。故選D。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money. So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
1 The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收銀員). When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2 Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, — You have enough toy trucks for now. Or, if the request is for many different things, say, — You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.
3
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product — a name-brand butter and a generic (無商標(biāo)產(chǎn)品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Wise decisions.
B. The value of money.
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can — or cannot — have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
Every person wants to achieve the goals set at the beginning of a new school year. The following are some ways to help you achieve your goals.
When it comes to choosing your goal, ensure that it states precisely what it is that you want to achieve. Don't generalize. Your goal should involve both what you want to achieve and the effort that you will put in to achieve it.
Having a copy of your goal makes it real. You can write you goal in a journal you'll be keeping all year, or you can write it on a poster and stick it on your desk so that you can look at it each day. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you're training your brain to accept the effort needed to make the goal happen.
Try various methods. One may not work while another may be just right for you.Some people learn best through writing, some through listening and reading, and some through talking it through. Once you realize which way works for you, you can work better and achieve your goal easily.
Think positive.Negative thoughts are unhelpful and they became roadblocks. Stop telling yourself you can't and start telling yourself you can, and talk about you are doing rather than hoping you can do something. Always believe that you're capable, even if you have difficulty along the way.
Reward yourself along the way.Occasionally, when you've achieved certain “milestones” in your goal plan, take a break and reward yourself. Watch a movie, visit a friend who lives across town, go to the ice cream shop with your friends or buy yourself something new.
A. Write down your goal.
B. Choose specific and realistic gals
C. Be aware of the way you learn best
D. Remember that everyone makes mistakes
E. Set aside some time each week for exercise
F. All study and no reward can break your spirit
G. If you're not in the right state of mind, you won't be able to succeed.
