题型:不详难度:来源:

He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤儿院)since he was only four.  I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). For example, the handle (柄) of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Children’s Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldn’t take the money. "I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "
"But Jerry, no one hits the wood in the right place all the time. And it was a weak handle. I’ll speak to the seller. " It was only then that he would take the money.
Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. "I’ll put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴风雨)comes up, you can stay warm. "
One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. "You look like my mother, especially(特别) next to the fire"
But you were four, Jerry, ’when you came to live at the Children’s Home. Do you still remember your mother?"

小题4:D
小题5:C

小题1:C从第一段的His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children’s Home(孤儿院)since he was only four.看出Jerry四岁来孤儿院,现在12岁了,所以遇到作者8年了。
小题2:A从第二段举的例子中的"I’ll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn’t hit the wood in the right place. "说明Jerry觉得很抱歉。
小题3:B从第一段I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). 第二段another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things.可知B项正确。
小题4:D划线句子是作者安慰Jerry的话,没有人总是打在正确的位置,就是人们有时会打在错误的位置,这很正常。

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say,” I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.
I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.  In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
小题1: What does the word “confused” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese ?
A.困惑B.憧憬C.悲痛D.后悔
小题2:A good US student spends his / her time ______ .
A.only in doing homework
B.on studies, sports or music and public work

小题3:Which of the following is NOT true ?

Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
小题1:From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ______.
A.a very large parkB.a busy London street

A.young people don’t go to movie theatres any more

小题3:Which of the following seems to be a threat(威胁)to Hollywood?
A.The use of modern cameras and other equipment
B.The interest of middle-aged film stars
C.The making of TV series like Dynasty
D.The expensively made copies of scenes
