It was only 5 o’clock in the morning. The house was quiet and Tim' s mother was still asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (輕微顫動(dòng)聲) of the freezer had been the sea.                                         
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He' d eat after he' d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious (神秘的) now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...
小題1:What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A．He put a sweater in his schoolbag.B．He left the house quietly.
C．He had breakfast at home.D．He left a note on the freezer.
小題2:"He settled for some biscuits” (in Paragraph 3 ) means that Tim_______.
A．had to take biscuits instead of sandwiches
B．liked biscuits better than sandwiches
C．had to leave the biscuits on the table
D．could only find some biscuits in the kitchen
小題3: What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?
A．The height of the first rocks.B．The ups and downs of the waves.
C．The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.D．The change in the position of the sun.
小題4:In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.
A．loneliness to crazinessB．a(chǎn)nxiousness to excitement
C．eagerness to nervousness D．helplessness to happiness

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:C

試題分析：本文講述了Tim在早晨偷偷離開(kāi)家到海邊看日出尋找洞穴的故事，主要描述了他的心理變化。
小題1:B 推理題。根據(jù)文章2,3段Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He' d eat after he' d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early.可知他安靜地偷偷地離開(kāi)了家。故B正確。
小題2:A 推理題，根據(jù)文章第三段Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits,可知如果弄三明治，會(huì)把媽媽吵醒，所以他拿了餅干。故A正確。
小題3:D 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer.可知正是光線的變化讓他看見(jiàn)了洞穴的入口。故D正確。
小題4:C 推理題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知在一開(kāi)始的時(shí)候他很急切地想知道洞穴里的情況，在文章最后一段Why was it so much more mysterious (神秘的) now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...可知他又有點(diǎn)緊張，對(duì)于以后所發(fā)生的事情很不確定，所以又有點(diǎn)緊張。故C正確。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文講述了Tim在早晨偷偷離開(kāi)家到海邊看日出尋找洞穴的故事，主要描述了他的心理變化。測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋�？忌紫纫屑�(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)。

There is an old story about an army of frogs that went jumping through the forest one day when two of them suddenly fell into a deep   1 .

Another said that there was no   4  they would ever be able to get out   5 .
The two fallen frogs began to continuously jump as they   6  to get out, but the frogs that were   7  kept croaking louder at them that they might as well stop   8  they were as good as dead and just   9  their time. One of the two frogs finally gave up,  10  their advice and died.
The other frog just kept on jumping harder than ever   11  all the loud croaks of disapproval from the frogs around the top of the hole. They kept croaking at him to   12  jumping and save himself from all the   13  and suffering as he jumped and fell back down to the bottom   14 .
Finally, to the   15  of all the other frogs, he jumped right out of the deep hole.

Hobbs was an orphan(孤兒). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.
One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”
“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will(遺囑),” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”
“Yes, I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man.

A．study abroadB．work abroad
C．pay off the debtsD．learn to paint pictures

The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the   36  to gather pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really   37  work and my little basket was only half full. I wasn't about to   38  Grandpa down. Just then something caught my   39  . A large brown squirrel was a few feet away.  I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   40  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel   41  out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so   42  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   43  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my   44 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so   45  of myself. I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   46 , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many ? ” I told him how I'd   47  the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that   48  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently   49  my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter   50  of food, ” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will   51  the cold winter? ”
“I didn't think about that,” I said.
“I know, ” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take   52  of someone else's hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit   53 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't   54  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the   55  of knowing I had done just the right thing.

It was the summer of 1936．The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin．I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump．A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, I'd set the world's record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches．Nearly everyone expected me to win．
I was in for a surprise．When the time came for the broad-jump trials(選拔賽), I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit （坑） at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps．He turned out to be a German named Luz Long．He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt．
A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes．I fouled （犯規(guī)）twice on my qualifying jumps．Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly．Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder．I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long．"Hi, I'm Luz Long．I don't think we've met．" "Glad to meet you," I said．Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, "How are you?" "I'm fine．Something must be eating you．You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed．" He said．
He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me．Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, "What does it matter if you're not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts．" All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me．Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare．
Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance．The instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me．
小題1:The author said "I was in for a surprise" because he _____．
