They say that cats have nine lives but our lazy old cat,PJ,had concurrent(并存的)lives and identities. He became well-known for sleeping around the neighbourhood and used to nap in the spare bedroom of elderly couple who lived three doors up from us.While I wasn’t always aware of all his liaisons, it didn’t matter as long as he always came home at mealtimes. One day we noticed he had gained weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shop bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didn’t seem to notice. Some months later. we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbor saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “You’ve got my cat!” She exclaimed, laughing. We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, he’d been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasn’t happy. After shouting at him angrily, I let him out and he never returned. A few months later, our new neighbour told us she’d seen PJ. It seems that an elderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence he’d doubled in size and been given his own sitting – room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since he’d followed her home. What a smart cat. 小题1:By exclaiming “You’ve got my cat,” the neighbour implied that .A.she admitted the eat belonged to that author | B.the author had stolen the lovely eat PJ | C.she was surprised at seeing the cat there | D.she was very angry with the author | 小题2:What does the underlined word “He” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A.The cat PJ | B.the author’s husband | C.a new neighbour | D.a neighbour’s husband | 小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that .A.the cat had visited all the neighbours before leaving | B.the author found the cat had gained some weight | C.The author couldn’t provide the cat with medical care | D.the neighbours loved the cat PJ very much |
|
小题1:C 小题2:A 小题3:D |
试题分析:人说猫有九命,但是我们家的老懒猫PJ可是以不同的身份住在多家。他喜欢到邻居家睡觉,我们没在意,他不怎么吃饭了,我们也没多想。 后来发现猫在邻居家很受宠爱。当它发现自己不受欢迎时,于是毅然离开并另觅新主,还过得很惬意。 小题1:推理判断题。第四段的第一、二句和全文,PJ在邻居家被照顾的很好还有个名字tiger,当邻居在我家看到PJ时,自然很惊讶。由此判断选C。 小题2:词意猜测题。画线词后的句子意为:他走出去然后十天后在我丈夫工作的地方发现了他。据此判断,he 指的是猫,选A。 小题3:推理判断题。全文介绍了我家的猫得到了邻居的照顾。包括喂食、去掉身上的虫子到最后和一位老邻居相依为命。所以选D。 |

No One Is Too Poor to Give When Teresa,a widow with four young children,saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a 16 family,she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen 17 .She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to 18 the people’s help. The route was 19 ,and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house.When the pastor saw her,he said,“ We 20 expected you to join us , Teresa.We know it’s been a great 21 since your husband died,and we all wanted to 22 you.” Although she was 23 being the object of charity,Teresa didn’t want to 24 anyone so she 25 said,“ Well,at least I can share these cookies with our 26 .” This parable teaches us that no one is too 27 to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and compassion. 28 of spirit is worse than economic distress.Teresa’s story 29 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should. My friend Larry Rosen,president of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles 30 me to the concept of “ sacrificial giving”— 31 in a large quantity up to a point where one must 32 something that is desired. You can start out easy.Take whatever 33 you are thinking of giving to charity,then 34 it.If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead.The 35 is to stretch yourself.It will mean a lot to those you help,but it will mean as much to your heart.

Standing in the driveway, I watched my grown children drive off into the distance.

There were pillows on the floor and a few stuffed (填充)animals 41 _____ around where the children had been playing.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 16 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 17 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 18 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 19 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 20 I, consider this 21 . We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 22 nonsense. As an old saying 23 :“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 24 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 25 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 26 about Beckham’s good looks. If we close our eyes, 27 in deep thought, we can find that the things 28 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 29 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things, 30 we will find that we have not really gained anything 31 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 32 we realize that and make some changes. It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 33 .If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 34 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have 35 .

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36 from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38 on his face. I said to my son, “Keaton, 39 will pay any more attention to your scar 40 you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother 41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 42 high — glad he was alive. 43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better, 44 you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer 45 . But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your 46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false 47 . One of my friends in college was very 48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his 49 for about 10 seconds. This man felt 50 about himself and spent most of his time 51 about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福). 52 , people ignored his looks. What people 53 was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man. Therefore, concentrate on what you value 54 yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same 55 .
