第三部分閱讀理解 (共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中,選出最佳選項(xiàng).
A
Years of storms had taken their toll on the old windmill(風(fēng)車). Its wheel, rusted and fallen, lay silent in the lush bluegrass.
I hadn‘t walked across our old farm in fifteen years. Fifteen years ago,rain or shine, I used to walk this path each day to see Greta. She always made me smile, even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel. I would help Greta with her chores. Then we would enjoy her delicious homemade chocolate cookies and ice cream. Being confined to a wheel chair didn‘t stop Greta from being a great cook.
Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I‘ve ever received. First, she taught me how to read. She also taught me that when I forgave Sister for our quarrels, it meant I wouldn‘t keep feeling like a victim(受害者). Instead, I would feel sunny.
Mr. Dinking, the local banker, tried to foreclose on Greta‘s house and land after her husband passed away. Thanks to Pa and Uncle Johan, Greta got to keep everything. Pa said that it was the least he could do for someone talented enough to teach me to read!
Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta‘s homemade cakes, pies, breads, cookies, cider, and ice cream. Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr. Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends. That‘s just what Greta was. She could turn anyone into a friend!
Greta always said, "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!" No matter how terrible my day started, I always felt sunny walking home from Greta‘s house---even beneath the winter starlight.
I arrived at Greta‘s house today just after sunset. An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, its red lights flashing. When I ran into the old house, Greta recognized me right away.
She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. Her last words to me were "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!"
56. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. What Greta taught me B. Greta would never die
C. The past sunny days D. Keep walking in sunshine
57. What can we know about Greta from the passage?
A. She was kind and forgiving B. She was rich and generous
C. She was energetic and confidence D. She was practical and helpful
58. The author used to go to see Greta every day mainly because _____.
A. Greta could treat the author with delicious food
B. Greta could give the author comfort
C. the author could learn how to read from Greta
D. the author could learn something valuable from Greta
59. What can we learn from the passage?

B. Greta was loved and respected by all the people there.
C. Greta must be a relative of the author’s family.
D. The author had been out of touch with Greta for fifteen years.

56yearold becomes 1st woman to swim Atlantic
(AP)-Jennifer Figge pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand, excited and exhausted as she touched land this week for the first time in almost a month. Reaching a beach in Trinidad, she became the first woman on record to swim across the Atlantic Ocean—a dream she'd had since the early 1960s,when a stormy transAtlantic (飛越大西洋) flight got her thinking she could wear a life vest and swim the rest of the way if needed.
The 56yearold left the Cape Verde Islands off Africa's western coast on Jan.12,2009, swimming 19 out of 25 days battling waves of up to 30 feet.The distance from Cape Verde to Trinidad is about 700 miles.Crewmembers are still computing exactly how many miles she swam.
The original plan was for her to swim to the Bahamas—a distance of about 2,100 miles—but inclement (惡劣的) weather forced her to change her plans and she arrived at Trinidad on Feb.5.She now plans to swim from Trinidad to the British Virgin Islands,ending her voyage at the Bitter End Yacht Club in late February.
Her journey came a decade after French swimmer Benoit Lecomte made the first known solo transAtlantic swim,covering nearly 4,000 miles from Massachusetts to France in 73 days.No woman on record had made the crossing.
Figge wore a red cap and wet suit,with her only goodluck charm (護(hù)身符) underneath:an old,red shirt to guard against chafing (磨痛),signed by friends,relatives and her father,who recently died.The other cherished (珍惜) possession she kept onboard was a picture of Gertrude Ederle,an American who became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.“We have a few things in common,”Figge said,“She wore a red hat and she was of German descent (血統(tǒng)).We both talked to the sea,and neither one of us wanted to get out.”
【小題1】When did Jennifer Figge want to swim across the Atlantic Ocean?
A.After she reached a beach in Trinidad. |
B.After she pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand. |
C.After her stormy transAtlantic flight in the early 1960s. |
D.After her graduation from a university. |
A.because she wanted to shorten her voyage |
B.because of bad weather conditions |
C.because she wanted to end her voyage in late February |
D.because she wanted to set a new world record |
A.In 1999. | B.In 1988. | C.In 1978 . | D.In 1968. |
A.Figge would like to follow her example. |
B.She had the same red cap as Figge always wore. |
C.Figge also wanted to swim across the English Channel. |
D.They were both born in Germany. |

His name is James,but people call him Rocky.The name fits.He’s big,over six feet tall,and he’s tough when he needs to? be.James “Rocky” Robinson lives and works in New York City’s Bedford?Stuyvesant district,one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the United States.Yet it is here in Bed?Stuy that he is saving lives and reviving a community.
In 1966,when Rocky was twenty?six years old,his seven?year?old niece was struck by a car on the street of Bed?Stuy.Had someone at the scene known first aid or CPR,she might have lived.But by the time she reached a hospital,she was dead.
His niece’s unnecessary death was one reason why Rocky became a paramedic (護(hù)理人員).Working for the Emergency Medical Service of New York City,he realized that more than half the city’s emergency calls came from high?crime areas.According to Rocky,residents of crime?plagued minority neighborhoods like Bed?Stuy sometimes had to wait as long as 26 minutes after calling 911 for an ambulance while calls in richer white communities were answered in_a_fraction_of_the_time.
Rocky decided to find out more about the problem.His research showed that the richer communities had organized their own ambulance corps (特殊部隊(duì)) to improve city services because the city was overwhelmed with calls.“If that’s the key to success,”he told his friend and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) colleague,Joe Perez,“we’ll start our own corps in Bed?Stuy!”
In 1988,Rocky had no idea that he and Joe would be attempting to establish the first minority?run ambulance service in the country,or just how creative he would have to be to overcome the difficulty.The pair’s first challenge was to find a location for the headquarters.They took over an abandoned building that was commonly used by drug dealers.Because there was no electricity or running water (except for the leaks in the roof),the two men worked during daylight hours.They used a two?way radio to receive emergency calls.
Although they could make do with their new headquarters,Rocky and Joe still lacked the most important component of an ambulance service:an ambulance.An old Chevrolet (雪佛蘭) got them to the scenes of accidents,fires,shootings,and stabbings.But the car didn’t always start.At times,they were forced to strap (用帶捆綁) their trauma kits and oxygen tanks to their backs and run on foot to the emergencies.Everyone laughed,except the victims who were still alive when? Rocky and Joe arrived.
1.The author believes the name “Rocky” fits James because________.

D.emergency calls had been available in the area
3.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 means________.

4.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that________.
A.ambulance corps were only allowed in rich white communities
