I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year. When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them. Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word. To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!” I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful. 小题1:Thousands of people came to the town to __________ at the Fair.A.enjoy Grandma’s food | B.sell and buy things | C.learn to cook | D.have a big party | 小题2:Why was Grandma unhappy?

阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather 36 test. I didn’t know how 37 I had done but I knew there were things on 38 that I didn’t know. I remember 39 waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales 40 my paper on my desk, I was 41 . There in big 42 numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I 43 my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not 44 that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and 45 the class. “The grades were not very good; 46 of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.” A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot 47 . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s 48 changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t 49 what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother 50 answered. For years, I thought that was a harsh (严厉的) judgment. My mother was always that 51 . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and 52 I did it excellently. We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand 53 the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy(人生态度)has 54 me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is 55 and there are very few people on it.

![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191206/20191206163230-12046.jpg) A man claiming to be a pastor(牧师) apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one. A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity(小费) (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip. “I give God 10%,” the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. “Why do you get 18?” He then wrote “Pastor” above his signature, and an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.) The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added. “Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer; it’s not something I do.” The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.” Scribbling(乱涂) notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this month, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal. “Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking,” the woman"s husband told Consumerist. “He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to the hospital.” When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: “MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC.” “It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery,” the man said. 小题1:What did the pastor mean by saying, “I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?”A.He was bargaining with the waiter. | B.He didn’t mean to pay the gratuity at all. | C.God gave him the privilege not to pay a gratuity. | D.The gratuity had already been paid by his friends. | 小题2:What do you learn from the article?A.The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God. | B.A party of six diners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay. | C.According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant. | D.The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal. | 小题3:What does the underlined word “stiff” mean?A.amuse | B.abuse | C.persuade | D.fail to pay |

As an experienced photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spinal bifida (脊柱畸形) corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus(胎儿)in uterus(子宫)at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived. The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs(大腿). The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I. As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded. The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed. It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the most incredible picture I’ve ever seen.” 小题1:What may be the best title for the passage?A.An Amazing Moment | B.A Pitiful Fetus | C.An Honorable Job as a Photographer | D.An Impressive Surgeon | 小题2:In 1999, people believed that it was ________.A.possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to survive | B.likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormal | C.right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operation | D.risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation | 小题3:From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________. A.challenging but successful | B.demanding and unsuccessful | C.simple and short | D.long-lasting and difficult | 小题4:The underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refers to ________. A.the uterus | B.the arm of the fetus | C.the picture | D.the head of the fetus | 小题5:From what the editor said in the last paragraph, we know he was very ________. A.disappointed | B.satisfied | C.confident | D.depressed |
