| 阅读理解 | A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of
a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.
Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to
comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having
an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much
improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom
shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old
man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old
man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, "I have deep sympathy
for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?"
But the doctor knew that her family was welloff and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies.
Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father"s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news.
She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, "The old man had
all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue
my schooling." Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a
real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need. | | 1. If you"re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to? | A. The patients in need of help.

D. stronger | | 阅读理解。 | I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever
seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite
a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was,
so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that
it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of
great strength making its way by strokes (猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me,
seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of their pool. I soon climbed out on the other
side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?"
they said, "It"s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, and he has got his football honor."
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath
towel and so small? He didn"t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who
is a great man, is also small." He laughed at this, and after some general words about my rude behavior
and how I had better be careful in the future, the incident was closed. | | 1. The writer thought Amery "a fair game" because the boy _________. | A. looked like an animal
B. was fond of games
C. was of similar size
D. was good at sports | | 2. The writer was frightened because _________. | A. he was laughed at by other boys
B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade
C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him
D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete | | 3. By saying "My father, who is a great man, is also small", the writer ________. | A. tried to please Amery
B. challenged Amery
C. threatened Amery
D. admired his father | | 4. Which of the following is TRUE? | A. The writer could run faster than Amery.
B. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.
C. Amery was a student in Grade Four.
D. Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior. | | 完形填空 | For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It"s not always the 1 ring, but it"s

I first met Jennie in the 6 waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down

good. They weren"t at all sure her son was going to 10 the accident that had hurt him so badly. With
11 in her eyes she said, "They"re taking away my 12 ."
I knew then that it was 13 just a coincidence (巧合) that I was wearing the ring that I had on that
day. As she 14 to talk, I 15 slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie"s hand. I told her to
wear it to remember that God loved her and He would be with her 16 all of this. 17 Jennie looked
down at the ring, she got excited and then held it tightly, 18 the word written on the ring was "HOPE".
