Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had worked on, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched for the name of this fellow, it became obvious that there were two people with the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? Obviously, my grade was terrible. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. At last, I worked very hard for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance came as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my chance to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet! 小题1: What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A.Complex. | B.Funny. | C.Boring. | D.Puzzling. | 小题2: Why was the author confused about the task?A.He was unfamiliar with American history. | B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin. | C.He forgot his teacher’s instruction. | D.He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task. | 小题3:In the end, the author turned things around _______.A.by redoing his task | B.through his own efforts | C.with the help of his grandfather | D.under the guidance of his headmaster |

试题分析: 文章介绍了主人公“我”在完成老师交待的任务时,对美国历史不是很熟悉,介绍的华盛顿这个人物不是历史上领导美国革命的华盛顿,而是另外一个人。在课堂上,读自己写的有关人物的报告时,引起了同学的嘲笑,分数也很低,接下来的时间,主人公“我”努力学习,并最终取得了好的成绩。 小题1:B理解推测题。Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.句意为:我自豪地读着我写的文章,我环视着教室的周围,同学们的脸上都强忍着大大的微笑,在他们的眼里都憋出了泪花,更加疑惑的是,我还看见了老师那“石头般’的绷着的脸。四个形容词的意思分别为:complex 复杂的funny 有趣的 boring令人厌烦的 puzzling令人困惑的。由同学们的笑和老师的表情可知“我”的文章是荒唐可笑的。故答案为B 小题2:A细节理解题。由第二自然段I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant.句意为:以前,我从未听说过这个名字,但查找之后发现有两个人的名字一样,而又是完全不同的两个人,一个是发现了花生的数百种用法的人,一个是领导了美国的革命,我也不知道,老师指的是哪一个。由此可知,“我”对美国的历史是不了解的。故答案为A。 小题3:B细节理解题。I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.句意为:我感觉,我受到的惩罚是不公平的,我还应该有第二次机会,剩余时间我把自己全身心的投入到我的学习中。由此可知改变事情的结果是通过“我”的努力 考点 故事类阅读。 |

With the average home in the capital selling for 19,548 yuan a meter in November, a tiny mobile home built by a 24-year-old office worker is creating a stir(震动) online. Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad(住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital. Dai’s new home costs him 6,400 yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu Road, Haidian district. Dai, who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better life and better job, said he realized his financial burden had become too great. The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet(收支相抵) when he became an intern at a Beijing-based construction design company in 2009. “I rented a home at the very beginning--a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900 yuan per month,” said Dai in an interview with local media. “It was too expensive for me. ” Dai’s father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner. Dai, who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company, figured out his own way to solve the problem---with inspiration from a housing design project at his company’s exhibition early this year. The project, named“An egg given birth to by the city”, included a series of egg-like movable houses, with a karaoke house, chair house and trader’s house in it. Dai, who borrowed 6,400 yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends, decided to make one of his own. He spent nearly two months building his“egg house”in his hometown, a village in southeast Hunan that is around 1,700 kilometers from Beijing. 小题1:Where is this passage probably taken from?A.A story book. | B.A cartoon film. | C.A news report. | D.A research report. | 小题2:What is Dai Haifei?A.An official of government. | B.A journalist. | C.An office worker of a company. | D.A manager of a company. | 小题3:Why did he build the pad?A.Because he will sell it for money. | B.Because he has no house to get married in. | C.Because he doesn’t have enough money to buy or rent a house. | D.Because he wants to get help from the society. | 小题4:Which statement is not TRUE?A.He comes from a Hunan village. | B.He has lived in the egg home for two months. | C.He got the idea from a friend. | D.He once rented a room. | 小题5:What’s the writer’s attitude?A.Supporting. | B.Puzzled. | C.Criticizing. | D.Objective. |

In the past two years, his wife, Merlie, and their seven children have said “goodbye” to him four times, most recently last month. Each time it has been unnecessary. Mr. Smart had a hip (髋关节) replacement in February at the Burnie hospital but was rushed back two months later with internal bleeding. “The doctors couldn’t stop the bleeding,” Mrs. Smart said. Medical staff told Mrs. Smart to contact her family, which includes children in Western Australia. “It took two days for them to get here. We had to hope he hung on .” he did. “The doctors were there 24 hours a day and they stopped the bleeding. They brought him back,” Mrs. Smart said. “I certainly believe in miracles because I’ve seen one happen, but it wouldn’t have happened if the doctors didn’t do what they did.” It was the second time Mrs. Smart thought she was losing her husband of 54 years. Two years ago, Mr. Smart was admitted to the Launceston General Hospital after a heart attack and a few days later with intense pain caused by a hemorrhage (出血). Again, the family was called to say goodbye---twice. “I was given a 50-50 chance of coming out of it, ” Mr. Smart said. Going through the ordeal (苦难,折磨) then was trying on the family, who had prepared themselves for the worst. But to face the same situation only two years later was hard. The Smarts said the support they received at the Burnie hospital helped them through. And it seems the experience has also left an impression at the hospital.

Although the Garden God had made him the most beautiful place that there could ever be, Adam was lonely. Adam needed some . So God reached into the ground again and took some more stuff from the earth. This time he made every kind of animal and every kind of bird. He brought them all to Adam to see he would call them. It must have a long, long time to think up all those ! Luckily, he didn"t call them things like "Foo Foo" or “Snuggems”or "Pooky" or anything like that. , he called them "gerbils" and "rabbits" and "rhinoceroses". And he the birds "eagles" and "egrets" and "ruby throated warblers". Well, , we don"t know what Adam named them, he didn"t speak English. But he named each kind, and that"s important because people are the only ones that name things. Your knows what a squirrel is, but he doesn"t call a squirrel. He just barks it! But naming things is one of the things that shows we are from all the other creatures that God made. even with all the animals around to keep him company, God saw that Adam was sad. Monkeys are fun to play with, but they don"t have very much to say and they have table manners. So God made Adam fall , and while Adam was sleeping, God took one of his ribs(肋骨).God took Adam"s and he made a woman from it. When Adam woke up, God Eve to him , and Adam said, “At last! Here is like me! Her bones were made from my bones, and her body was made from my body. I will call her "woman" because that means she was taken out of man.” At last Adam was . And so Adam and Eve lived together in God"s garden.

I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas. As we came back to the store she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.”Then she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things —and I will, too.” Her father hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer(祷告) just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer. 小题1:How did the father feel at first when the author invited his daughter for a ride?A.Anxious. | B.Embarrassed. | C.Surprised. | D.Moved. | 小题2:What can we know about the author?A.He was a disabled man. | B.He usually drove too fast. | C.He worked in a store. | D.He often helped people in trouble. | 小题3:According to the passage, the girl _____.A.was not allowed to do some sports | B.used to be a completely healthy person | C.was unwillingly to communicate with a stranger | D.usually felt sad about life because of her disability | 小题4:What did the author’s gift refer to according to the girl’s father?A.The motorbike. | B.The wheelchair. | C.The ride. | D.The prayer. |
