It was the first snow of the winter---an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up to now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, Ontario, had been through best snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear the ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of the winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that it was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They are on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They are my brother’s boots, you know, I hate them.”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She struggled with me. She asked “now, where are your mittens(手套)?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
小題1:The little girl was more satisfied with her __________.
A．trousersB．jacketsC．bootsD．hat
小題2:Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the little girl’s boots mainly because________.
A．the girl got them from her brother
B．the girl put something in them
C．they were on the wrong feet
D．they did not fit the girl well
小題3:Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
D．Because the little girl played a trick on her.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that Miss Finlayson _______________.
A．was losing confidence in the little girl
B．was gradually losing patience with the little girl
C．became disappointed with the little girl
D．got curious about the little girl

小題1:D
小題2:B

It was a perfect day, just the right kind of day to go fishing
My 13-year-old son Jonathan and I had been 　   this trip for weeks, and now we were sitting on the shore of a beautiful lake.
We 　   and talked, and then, suddenly, I saw small waves 　   my float(浮子）had been. I waited, thinking it would pop right back up again, but the float stayed 　   the water and my heart started to beat 　  ．After a few more seconds, my fishing rod was suddenly pulled off the stick it was leaning on 　  me and it was being 　   towards the water.
I firmly caught hold of the fishing rod and lifted it up. This fish was 　  ! Slowly, my son balanced on two rocks and leaned down to get the giant off the fishhook.
For just one second, he lost his 　  　and reached up with his right hand to steady　  . At that moment, our huge fish got off the fishing line and started to swim 　  
I saw teas streaming down Jonathan's face. "Dad, I'm sorry. I'll never be able to　  this up to you." I reached out and put my hands on his shoulders. I said the following 　   almost without thinking. "Jon, how did you feel 　  I was reeling(往卷軸上繞起）that fish in? Were you excited?" He nodded and said，"Dad，I've never been so　  in my whole life!”I repied,
"Jon, wasn’t that about the most fun we've ever had together?" He nodded his head in 　  ．
Then I said, "So, why should we let a fish getting away 　   possibly the best experience we've ever had? Let’s be happy about the fun we did have."
My son, 　   his arms around me, said,"Dad, I love you so much!”1 　   him back and said softly into his ear, "I love you too, Jon."
We 　   did catch that big fish. But I've known ever since that I didn't let the most important thing get away that day.

She once said: "When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, "the end is nothing; the road is all.'” That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer (打字機(jī)) with the thought that one more task had to be done."
Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor (活力) of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the Great Plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
"It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall country all made to look like a German, Christmas card... But when I come to the open plains, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently."
小題1:What did Cather mean by "the end is nothing; the road is all"?
A．Writing is the only path to success.
B．I feel happy when I finish writing a book.
C．I enjoy writing whether it is hard or easy.
D．Writing itself, not its result, is important.
小題2:What was the place like where Cather grew up?
A．It was cold, plain and without a church.
B．It was a colorful world of wild flowers.
C．It was like a German Christmas card
D．It was vast, open, flat and wild.
小題3:When she said "It takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold", Willa Gather meant ______.
A．you either love the place or hate it
B．you decide either to stay or to leave
C．some find the place warm; others find it cold
D．some find the place peaceful; others find it wild
小題4:What happens when Cather comes to the open plains?
A．She breathes differently from others:
B．She wants to make the place her home.
C．She finds the place similar to her home.
D．She feels completely comfortable

These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They- were brave, hostile（懷敵意的）and＿1__ they would not take orders, and shouted "Amandla！”at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront（對抗）rather than cooperate. The authorities② did not know how to handle them, and they turned the island upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, the freedom fighters who would take our place③would some-day make the authorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.
In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit with Winnie a few months before, she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths④ who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.
The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island, and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way. We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964. But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities. They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive（不果斷）．
It was obvious that they regarded us, the Rivonia Trialists⑤，as moderates⑥（溫和派）． After so many years of being branded a radical（激進(jìn)的）revolutionary, to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling. I knew that I could react in one of two ways：I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying. I chose the latter.
'then some of these men, such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students' Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention, came into our section, I __2____
Shortly after their arrival on the island, the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men. He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves, to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life．I told him that I was not prepared to do that. Under the circumstances, they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理學(xué)家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?” 
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. 
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? 
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. 
“It’s your turn,” he said. 
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. 
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens. 
小題1:When he first met the author, David_________. 
A．felt a little excitedB．walked stubbornly
C．looked a little nervousD．showed up with his teacher
小題2:As a psychologist, the author __________.
A．was uncertain about psychologyB．was ready to listen to David
C．was able to describe David’s problemD．was sure of solving David’s problem
小題3:David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.
A．needed to share pain with the author
B．wanted to ask the author for advice
C．liked the children’s drawing in the office
D．beat the author many times in the chess game
小題4:What can be inferred about David? 
A．He recovered after months of treatment.
B．He liked biking before he lost his family.
C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D．He got friends in school before he met the author.
小題5:What made David change?
A．His teacher’s help.
B．His exchange of letters with the author.
C．The author’s friendship.
D．The author’s silent communication with him.

A  Leap to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola         for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive,       she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t       how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom       that even though she couldn’t see      , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the       right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more      for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her       stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest      is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to       your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most       for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall       the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be       differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision      . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her       attitude.
Lola never thinks about      . She is presently at Level 7 while the highest is Level 10 in gymnastics. Her       is to reach Level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids       she grew up.
Lola is       of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her       for others is “just believe yourself”.
