试题【完形填空。 One of Jack"s friends loves money very much, and he never gives anythi】；主要考察你对 人物故事类等知识点的理解。 [详细]举一反三
| 阅读理解。 | I"m 14, a year younger than most of my classmates.
A week ago one of my classmates, Nitin , asked me for help with math homework. We ended up
talking about computers and file-sharing (共享文件). As we talked I found that he was more experienced
and could teach me about file-sharing and networking. We went to his room and watched a movie about
robots that he"d downloaded. The math homework was forgotten.
The next day he came again for homework help "What do you do on weekends?" he asked. The truth
is, when I have work to do, I do it. I have no special time to kill with friends. I was embarrassed about
this. I expected him to think I was boring and said, "Get a life!" He said, "OK. You"re   having trouble
getting along with people I can show you. I"m old than you."
Later, he checked my computer. He even connected me to an Internet chess server (服务器). He was
becoming like a big brother.
But when I thought  about it, I didn"t really want Nitin"s help" His big-brother idea began to bore me.
"I"ll get you some cool computer programs (程序)".
"I"ll teach you how to talk to girls."
He meant what he was saying, but I don"t know why it didn"t make me feel good. Since then he"s
hardly talked to me; we seem to have forgotten each other. I don"t think he can "teach" me much, and I
don"t think much of him. But I could be wrong? | 1. What did Nitin help me do?

A. ***死

A. He has no special time to kill with friends.
B. He forgot his homework because of playing with him.
C. He thinks his ideas are not useful to him.
D. He has another big brother.

| | 阅读理解。 | A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?"
"If you must know, I make $20 each hour."
"Oh," the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said,
"Daddy, could you lend me $10?"
The father was furious, "If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go
straight to your room and think about why you are so selfish!"
The little boy went to his room with no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father
calmed down, and started to think, "Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn"t really ask
for money very often." So he went to the little boy"s room.
"Sorry!Maybe I was too hard on you just now." said the man, "Here"s $10."
"Oh, thank you Daddy!" he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found
that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
"Why do you want more money since you already have some?" the father shouted angrily.

A few months later, something was wrong with my computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw was still his
smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and t ried his best to solve the
problem for me. I was quite grateful for his sweet smile and good service.

box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels. I was very surprised that each one
knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it
over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after the earthquake, one by one they
began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry bodies to a corner
of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not understand why their tunnels
were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about
the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to
make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural
part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to
realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice. | | 1. What did the writer"s family do for him when he was seven? | A. They built a farm of ants.

d. The ants began making tunnels. | A. a-b-c-d
B. a-c-d-b
C. c-d-a-b
D. c-a-d-b | | 3. What did the writer come to realize a few years later? | A. Working together is useless.
B. Teamwork is important.
C. He can"t accept adversity.
D. Working alone is amazing. | | 4. What is the best title for the passage? | A. Ants Fear Adversity
B. My Family and Ant
C. Giving up in Adversity
D. A Good Lesson from Ant |
