阅读理解     Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes.Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden (监狱长) at Sing Sing Prison from 1920 to 1941.In these 21 years he made many reforms --- and
an important part of his success was due to his wife Katherine.
     Katherine took seriously the idea that the prisoners are human beings ,worthy of attention and respect .She regularly visited inside the walls of Sing Sing.She encouraged the prisoners, took things to them
and spent time listening to them.Most importantly, she cared about them.And as a result, they cared
deeply about her.
     Then one night in October of  1937,  news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine
had been killed in an accident.The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral.He
agreed  to their strange  request and a few days later the south  gate of Sing  Sing swung slowly open.
Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison,
later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells.There were so many that they proceeded
unguarded.But no one tried to escape.If he had, the others might have killed him immediately.So
devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece
of Heaven.
     Katherine" s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals.Thomas Moore
once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for."1.When Katherine"s husband was the warden at Sing Sing Prison, she did the following things EXCEPT_______________.A.encouraging the prisoners      
B.visiting the prison houses
C.doing some writing for the prisoner  
D.spending time in listening to the prisoners2.Why did the prisoners ask the warden to allow them to attend Katherine’s funeral?A.Because Katherine didn"t look down upon them and cared about them.
B.Because Katherine was the wife of the warden.
C.Because Katherine made reforms in the prison.
D.Because Katherine had been killed by one of them.3.Whom does the underlined part “the others” refer to?A.The policemen at the funeral.  
B.The other prisoners.
C.The guards.            
D.The policemen from other prisons.4.The best title of this passage is_________.A.Katherine Lawes" s Life
B.Reforms at Sing Sing Prison
C.To Honor Their Souls
D.To Meet Their Requirement

阅读理解     Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my
father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night.
To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.
     Cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all
reason. I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I
never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful,
registered horses.
     When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly
shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance
to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.?
     One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons.  
Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t
need to. I came in next to last.
     The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and
jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All of our hard
work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.
     My turn finally came. I put on my hat,  rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At  the signal,
we dashed toward the first fence, jumped  it  without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then
flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him  toward  the  finish  line. As we
crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had  beaten  Becky and her fancy
horse by two seconds!
     I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds,
I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.1. The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 3) most probably means ______.A. told how to enter the arena
B. shown how to make the horse beautiful
C. removed from the competition early
D. told to enter the timed-speed events2. When the final race finished, nobody cheered because        .A. the audience didn’t like Cowboy
B. people envied the writer
C. the win was unexpected?            
D. the writer bad run out of time3. Why was the writer not confident of victory?A. He was an inexperienced rider.
B. He had not practiced enough.
C. He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.
D. He thought his horse wasn’t so good as the others.4. What did the writer learn from his experience?A. Life can sometimes be unfair.
B. Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.
C. A positive attitude will bring success.
D. One should not make judgments based on appearance.
