阅读理解     Five people are at our table, including myself. I"ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short
time we"ve been at sea,although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
      First of all, there"s Dr Stone. He"s a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He
gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet
country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many
countries. He"s told us a great deal about the city to which we are going.
     Then there"s "Grandmother".  I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a
grandmother, she looks remarkably young, not more than fifty. She"s on her way to visit a daughter who
went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again,  and
her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
     Then there"s a man I don"t care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on
leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
     The other person who sits at our table is Mrs Hunt. I"ve found out hardly anything about her. She"s
extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children"s various illnesses.She"s on
her way to join her husband in India.1. What can we know about Mr Stone?A. He is a doctor in the army now.

阅读理解。      On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron - the one with the race cars all over it.
The ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone. I"ll take care of
the dishes!" With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off came the suit
coat he had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next
hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads like "I Had a Hat When I Came In" and "Who Put the Chow
in Mrs. Murphy"s Chowder?"
      I suppose it was strange for a boy"s father to wear an apron - even one with race cars - but I neve
r thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. My
father seemed in an expansive mood as we walked home from church together.
      "Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: The birds
and the bees? A new bike? A part-time job?
      "There comes a time in every boy"s life when he must take on responsibilities." This was important.
I might even get to back the car out of the driveway.
      "Responsibilities?" I asked.
      "Yes. It"s time you took a greater role in the household." Power tools? Boss my baby brother?
      "Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work
the crossword puzzle together."
       "The dishes!?"
       "Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?"
      I started to say something about a man"s job or woman"s work, but I knew immediately that my
protests would fall on deaf ears.
      I didn"t taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a cheerful mood and was describing
a wonderful baseball game he saw last night.
      Suddenly, everything grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was finishing the
last of the egg from his plate. And then that ancient family ritual (程序、仪式) that had filled so many
Sunday mornings came to an end. My father announced: "Let"s go read the paper, Hon."
      "Aren"t you doing the dishes?" my mother asked in puzzlement.
      "Your oldest son has generously offered to fill the position."
      My brother and sister stopped cold. So this was what my life had come to. A dark angel sat on
my left shoulder and reminded me that I could hit a baseball farther than anyone in my class. I could
bench-press my weight. Ask me to run through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster
backward. These things I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to
refuse.
      People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the
kitchen just as I was about to storm out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his
shirt- ready to relax. In his right hand was the old apron.
      "I want you to have this, Tommy. It"ll keep your clothes from getting wet." And before I could
mount a protest, he had put the thing on me. "Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this."
      With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the plastic. It had seen better
days. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. The dark angel flew off. Soon I was singing about
Mrs. Murphy"s chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I knew the kind of
man I wanted to be.1. From paragraph 1, we can learn that ________.A. the family usually had breakfast after going to church on Sundays
B. father was not really willing to wash dishes for the family
C. mother would wash dishes together with father
D. mother used to do the dishes alone2. What did the author think of washing dishes at first?A. It"s natural for a man to wash dishes.
B. Children need to help parents wash dishes.

B. The writer was asked to run through a rainstorm.
C. The writer"s sister offered to wash dishes for him.
D. The writer"s mother was happy that he offered to wash dishes.4. Which of the following words can best describe the author"s father?A. Stubborn.
B. Humorous.
C. Responsible.
D. Generous.5. The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.A. tell readers how his father taught him what it means to be a man

阅读理解.     Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.
He moved there a few years ago,and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
     My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his
work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, he seemed
unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers
were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to
struggle to think up things to say , feeling on guard.
     On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an
outdoor cafe. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table,
and laughed over my son"s funny facial expressions. Cone was my father"s critical air and
strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and
interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
     The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories
about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years , I
never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I"m at last seeing another
side of my father. And in so doing, l"m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new
home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.1. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He did not love his children.
D. He expected too much of her.2. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel __________.A. nervous
B. sorry
C. tired
D. safe3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.
B. More talkative.
C. Gentle and friendly
D. Strict and hard-working.4. The underlined words "my new friend" in the last paragraph refer to_________.A. the author"s son
B. the author"s father

阅读理解.     We were on our way home from Houston, Texas around the Weston Lakes area one
Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get coffee and something
to snack on since it was a good hour and a half before we got home.
     When we were done, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a
man standing outside in front of the building. He was a homeless man with worn clothes
and it looked like he had gone in and gotten himself some coffee or something warm to
drink since it was cold this time of the year. He must have not had enough money to get
something to eat.
     Then a dog walked up to the front of the building. I could tell she was a female,
because you could see that she had been feeding puppies ( baby dogs) . She was terribly
in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn"t eat soon, she
and her puppies would not make it.
     I and my wife sat there and looked at her. We noticed that people walked by and
didn"t even pet her, like most people do when they walk by an animal in front of a store.
We still did not do anything. But the homeless man, who I thought did not buy himself
anything to eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and my wife.
He had gone into the store and with what money he may have had,bought a can of dog
food and fed that dog.
     This story plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother"s Day weekend.
And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.
     It took a homeless man, to show me what I should have done. He made me a better
man that day.1. The homeless man only had something to drink because___________.A. he didn"t have enough money for food
B. he was thirsty only
C. the store only provided drinks
D. he felt cold that day2. Seeing what the poor man did for the dog, the author and his wife _________A. were puzzled
B. were greatly moved
C. regretted they hadn"t done anything
D. were indifferent3. If the homeless man hadn"t given the dog food to eat, she and her babies would _________.A.not survive
B. have to attack people
C. not have to die
D. lose their homes4. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. A Kind Homeless Man
B. A Lucky Mother Dog
C. Mother Day"s Weekend
D. Animals Are Parents Too

I came out of the kitchen,complaining,"Mom,I can"t peel potatoes.I have only one
hand."
     Mom never looked up from sewing."You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those
potatoes," she told me."And don"t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"

across the monkey bars,swinging from one high steel rod to the next.When it was my turn,

look.The next afternoon,she took me back to school.At the deserted playground,Mom
looked carefully at the bars.
    "Now,pull up with your right arm," she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself
with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow.Day after day we
practiced,and she praised me for every rung I reached.I"ll never forget the next time,
crossing the rungs,I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.

into my room."Mom," I said,weeping,"none of the boys would dance with me."
     For a long time,I didn"t hear anything.Then she said,"Oh,honey,someday you"ll be
beating those boys off with a bat." Her voice was faint and cracking.I peeked out from my
covers to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my
