I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations (違反)．It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.
I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work，I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it. The fact  is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的)that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.
The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately，I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before，there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”，I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road，perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.
People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly，it never occurred to me. I felt guilty. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there，as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.
小題1:What is this passage mainly about?
A．The writer’s most unforgettable experience.
B．How the writer got her first ticket.
C．An accident caused by the writer.
D．Why the writer is always so careful.
小題2:We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to ________.
A．people who are crazy about driving cars
B．a(chǎn) club for drivers without much experience
C．people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules
D．a(chǎn) club for people to talk about their driving stories
小題3:What made the writer unable to focus on her driving?
A．Planning how to spend the vacation.
B．Thinking of the forgotten vacation.
C．Thinking about her work.
D．Missing her children.
小題4:From the experience，the writer has probably learnt ________.
A．what is really important to her
B．how to deal with policemen
C．to enjoy the small things in life
D．to be much more careful

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:B
小題4:D  
作者因?yàn)殚_車不專心，在該停的時(shí)候沒(méi)停，被開了第一張罰單。
小題1:主旨大意題。通讀全文，可知作者敘述了她第一次被開罰單的經(jīng)歷。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)前文的get the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations可知the club在這里是指那些因違反交通規(guī)則被開了罰單的人。.
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time.I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.可知作者想起那個(gè)被忘了的假期才分了神。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)末段的Please be careful out there，as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.可推斷從這件事中，作者學(xué)到了以后要更加小心。

When I was eight, I saw a movie about an island that had an erupting volcano and jungles filled with wild animals. The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.
The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn’t even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava（火山巖）pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!
The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn't painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas（畫布）in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $ 1500.
The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim（火山口邊緣）of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after.
小題1:Why did the writer go to Hawaii?
A．To free herself from trouble.
B．To make a living.
C．To spend her holiday.
D．To realize her childhood dream.
小題2:Which of the following is the writer’s dream?   
A．Become a successful painter.
B．Live in nature with animals.
C．Get close to wildlife.
D．Live a free and happy life.
小題3:We can infer from the passage that __________.
A．the writer wasn’t sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first
B．the writer’s parents encouraged her to divorce
C．the writer’s husband took away most of her money
D．the writer had never done painting before

One of my most unforgettable experiences is the day I finished my tough rowing and keep myself free of loneliness.
As the youngest female ever to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean, I was often asked the same question: How did you, a only 20-year old youngster row a 18-foot boat for 70 days through those strong winds and violent waves and survive?
Frankly speaking, for me, the physical challenge was not the greatest one. Before I made my mind to row across the Atlantic, I had already cycled 3,300 miles, run all by myself across the Mojave Desert, and swum the 325-mile length of the Allegheny River. No, the hardest part would be mental: How would I cope with the terrible loneliness and the boredom on the vast sea for such a long time?
I set out on January 1 and my first object was to swim past the quarter-way mark, which would take about 20 days. I made it on January 20, a gray and cloudy day. I had thought to do something to celebrate my first goal such as treating myself to a chocolate bar or something else. But I didn’t. I was suffering from unbearable boredom and loneliness of the long sea journey. I hadn’t seen any landing at least more than two weeks. It seemed to feel the same every day. Eating, rowing, sleeping, staring at the sky, watching the ocean.
Then that day came! It was around dusk, I noticed something move on the horizon. Yes, some dolphins! They approached me and circled my boat. Suddenly I felt so blessed. They had arrived to accompany me and helped to celebrate, just when I needed them so badly! For the next 15 minutes, I did row at full speed with all my strength with those lovely dolphins around. By the time they were to leave me and we went our separate ways, I was no longer lonely.
After 70 days and five hours at sea, I finally reached my final destination. I was proud that I made it, all 2,817 miles, which helped to raise $70,000 for the Blue Planet Run Foundation, an organization for funding drinking water. I’ve been told some athletes struggled to get through just by imagining the end during the whole process. But for me, what makes miracle is to focus your mind on the moment, where you experience the personal growth—those moments of awareness of being connected to the sun, the weather, and the waves. And, on the best day of my life, I had to admit those dolphins really freed myself from terrible loneliness.
小題1:Which of the following belongs to part of preparation for the row?
A．Answering the same question raised by people
B．Swimming the 325-mile length of the river
C．Running 3,300 miles cross-country
D．Biking across the Mojave Desert
小題2:The underlined part means ___________.
A．I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate my first goal
B．I didn’t have any chocolate bar for energy
C．It’s a pity not to celebrate my passing the quarter
D．It’s a pity not to treat myself to a chocolate bar
小題3:What can be implied from the last two paragraphs?
A．The Blue Planet Run Foundation helped me a lot.
B．The dolphins accompanied me to reach my destination
C．The unexpected dolphins swept away my loneliness
D．Imagination was a useful way to help me get through
小題4:Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．The only challenge for a 20-year old
B．Tips on handling loneliness at sea.
C．How to row alone across the Atlantic
D．The day I stopped being lonely

Grandfather was an elder Cherokee Native American who had a wrinkled, nut brown face and kind dark eyes．His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and asked the many questions that children asked．
One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story．"Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present, a jack-knife．I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight．Some town boys came by and saw me．They surrounded me and started saying bad things．They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife．The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys．I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing．I hate them．I hate them all．”
The elder Cherokee, with eyes that had seen too much, lifted his grandson's face so his eyes looked into the boy's face．Grandfather said, " Let me tell you a story．I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do．But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy．It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die．I have struggled with these feelings many times．It is as if two wolves are inside me．．．It is a terrible fight．
One wolf is good and does no harm．He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense (冒犯) when no offense is intended．It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way．This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth and faith．
The other wolf is full of anger．The smallest thing will set off his fiercest temper．He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason．He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much．
It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing．This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority．
Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my mind．This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too．"
The boy looked into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied ．．．
"The one you feed．"
小題1:The boy was angry because ______.
A．he was not satisfied with his present
B．his back was badly injured in a fight
C．he had waited for his father for too long
D．his jack-knife had been taken away by some boys
小題2:The angry wolf would probably be described as ______.
A．a(chǎn)ggressive(好斗)B．sympatheticC．modestD．unsuccessful
小題3:We can learn from the third paragraph that ______.
A．"hate" is healthyB．"hate" hurts oneself
C．"hate" is complicatedD．"hate" harms one's enemies
小題4:What did Grandfather mean by saying "The one you feed" in the last paragraph?
A．We should feed the two wolves equally．
B．Living in harmony with others is important．
C．Our feelings should be expressed at the right time．
D．The choices we make determine who we will become．

There was a wonder-filled little girl who was hurt so badly that when she entered adult life, she thought she was so bad that others just couldn’t be nice to her.
But she had a lot of curiosity, which kept her going. She sought many wise people to help her understand why she was so bad that her mother hurt her and why she was unable to be better so that men wouldn’t hurt her.
She was on a journey that she thought was to help her be “better”. She carried a big bag with her everywhere she went. Inside it were all the hurts she had experienced. Because she was so eager to please those who offered their wisdom, she willingly agreed with what they said about forgiving. But she held that bag of hurts tightly.

She saw the absurdity of carrying that bag around. It made her laugh. By letting go of the paper and having pity for those that hurt her, this little girl was able to become a woman with beautiful hair. The woman looked in the mirror and said, “I am lovable.”
