閱讀下列短文,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)。

  That cold January night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was,walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater.With opening night only a week away,I was still learning my lines.I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked,I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco.City life had become too much for me.

  As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings,I felt very small and cold.I began running,both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers(搶劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

  About a block from my apartment(公寓房間),I heard a sound behind me I turned quickly,half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun.The street was empty.All I saw was a shining streetlight.Still,the noise had made me nervous,so I started to run faster.Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

  Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore.I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise.Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes,my wallet was nowhere to be found.

  Just as I was about to give up the search,I heard the garbage truck(垃圾車)pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside,“Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name?The door opened,and out jumped a small red-haired man withan amused look in his eyes.“Is this what you're looking for?”he asked,holding up a small square shape.

  It was nearly 3 A.M.by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night,but I had gotten my wallet back.I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life.I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

閱讀理解

  A year ago I began training to swim the English Channel.I will be 58 years old.My friends thought I had lost my mind, and my wife was somewhat worried.The question I was asked over and over was this, “Why?”

  When a student reporter at Indiana recently asked me this question, I said, “First, let me ask you a question.What are your plans for this summer?”

  He replied that he was going to work in a supermarket.I didn’t have to say more.He understood my point.

  A challenge and something of an adventure are welcome whether you are 20 or 58, and preparing to swim the Channel is far better than working in a supermarket, especially when you have a choice.

  But why did I decide to swim the Channel at 58? Perhaps I myself can hardly give a satisfactory answer.

  The Channel has always been the greatest challenge to swimmers, a test of ability, luck, and even bravery.It is this challenge that attracts about 100 swimmers a year, who are willing to spend time, effort, and money trying it.

  One fact that adds to my interest is that, if I succeed, I will be the oldest person ever to swim the Channel.

  I don’t think I am a superman.I do think I have at least two things in favor:

  First, I am training hard-now swimming 7 and a half miles a day.Second, I am a resolute (有決心的) man.Once I set up a goal, I won’t give it up easily.And this swim has long been a goal.I have a feeling-I will be mentally ready.

  On the other hand there was a young girl who was attempting(試圖) to finish her swim when the ocean got rough.She was having a hard time with the rough and cold water, when her trainer shouted to her from the boat that he thought she should give up and get out of the water.She shouted back, “I’m doing the swimming, and I’ll decide when to get out.” She made it.

(1)

The statement “He understood my point” could be most suitably replaced by “________”.

[  ]

A.

he understood it was difficult for me to give a proper answer

B.

he understood I did not like his question and did not want to answer it

C.

he understood what my question meant:setting up a challenging goal makes life more interesting

D.

he understood I thought little of his plans for that summer.

(2)

“She made it” means “________”.

[  ]

A.

she reached her goal

B.

she proved she was right

C.

she made a good show of her courage and bravery

D.

she set a good example for others to follow

(3)

Most likely, the author decided to swim the Channel because he ________.

[  ]

A.

does not fully realize the difficulties he may meet with

B.

has made a bet(打賭)that he could do so

C.

wants very much to show off his superman ability

D.

enjoys challenges

(4)

Which of the following statements would the author most readily agree with?

[  ]

A.

Old people lose their sense of adventure.

B.

Only an old person would attempt the Channel.

C.

Life’s challenges can be overcome at any age.

D.

People should recognize the dangers of physical stress.

(5)

From the passage we know the author is ________.

[  ]

A.

determined

B.

careful

C.

friendly

D.

romantic

B
For years I wanted a flower garden.I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins, Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time.Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, " Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know."
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn’t sure, though.I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no - frills budget.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on—and I couldn’t believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard !
I went outside to look.It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree.Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time.Love, Marvin."
Marvin kept his promise, too.He dug up a nice ten - by - fifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架) , a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago.My garden’s now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did.It feels like they’re right there with me.
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers.I’ll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes—every time.
I’m still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!
60.By saying "Do you see a money tree outside……, "the mother actually means "__________".
A.Observation is the best teacher         B.Seeing is believing.
C.The outsider sees the most of the game D.It is not easy to gain money
61.The best title for the passage would probably be_______________ .
A.My flower garden           B.Marvin helps to realize my dream
C.Love in Michigan           D.Money grows on trees
62.The underlined word "no-frills" in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to ____.
A.wasteful   B.tight  C.a(chǎn)bsurd      D.helpful
63.From the last but the third paragraph we can infer that the mother is ________________.
A.divorced when she was young        B.not caring for her kids any longer
C.a(chǎn)lone but not at all lonely                  D.prouder

I cheated on a unit test in math class this morning during second period with Mr. Burke. Afterward, I was too sick to eat lunch just thinking about it.
I came straight home from school, went to my room, and lay on the floor trying to decide whether it would be better to run away from home now or after supper. Mostly I wished I was dead. It wasn't even an accident that I cheated.
Yesterday Mr. Burke announced there'd be a unit test and anyone who didn't pass would have to come to school on Saturday, most particularly me, since I didn't pass the last unit test. I did plan to study just to prove to him that I'm plenty smart—which I am mostly—except in math.
Anyway, I got my desk ready to study on . Just when I was ready to work, Nicho came into my room with our new rabbit and it jumped on my desk and knocked the flashcards all over the floor. What a mess! Nicho and I finally took the rabbit outside but then Philip came to my room and also Marty from next door and before long it was dinner.
After dinner my father said I could watch a special on television if I'd done all my homework. Of course I said I had. That was the beginning. I felt terrible telling my father a lie about the homework.
It was nine o'clock when I got up to my room and that was too late to study for the unit test so I lay in my bed with the light off and decided what I would do the next day when I was in Mr. Burke's math class not knowing the 8- and 9-times tables. So, you see, the cheating was planned after all.
The next day, I'd go into class as usual, acting like things were going just great. I'd sit down next to Stanley Plummer—he is so smart in math it makes you sick—and from time to time, I'd glance over at his paper to copy the answers.
Lying on the floor of my room, I begin to think that probably I've been bad all along. It just took this math test to clinch it. I'll probably never tell the truth again. I tell my mother I'm sick when she calls me to come down for dinner. She doesn't believe me, but puts me to bed anyhow. I lie there in the early winter darkness wondering what terrible thing I'll be doing next when my father comes in and sits down on my bed.
"What's the matter?" he asks. "I've got a stomachache," I say. Luckily, it's too dark to see his face. "Is that all?" "Yeah." "Mommy says you've been in your room since school." "I was sick there too," I say. "She thinks something happened today and you're upset." That's the thing that really drives me crazy about my mother. She knows things sitting inside my head the same as if I was turned inside out.
"Well," my father says. I can tell he doesn't believe me. "My stomach is feeling sort of upset." I hedge. "Okay," he says and he pats my leg and gets up.
Just as he shuts the door to my room I call out to him in a voice I don't even recognize as my own. "How come?" he calls back not surprised or anything. So I tell him I cheated on this math test. To tell the truth, I'm pretty much surprised at myself. I didn't plan to tell him anything.
He doesn't say anything at first and that just about kills me. I'd be fine if he'd spank me or something. And then he says I'll have to call Mr. Burke. It's not what I had in mind. "Now?" I ask surprised. "Now," he says. He turns on the light and pulls off my covers. "I'm not going to," I say.
But I do it. I call Mr. Burke, and I tell him exactly what happened, even that I decided to cheat the night before the test. He says I'll come on Saturday to take another test, which is okay with me, and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all.
"Today I thought I was turning into a criminal," I tell my father when he turns out my light. Sometimes my father kisses me good night and sometimes he doesn't. I never know. But tonight he does.
【小題1】After the author cheated on the math test, he felt ____________.

A.frightened because he might be caught
B.excited that he had succeeded
C.pleased that nobody knew it
D.unhappy because he had done something wrong
【小題2】By “It wasn't even an accident that I cheated”, the author means that ________.
A.he had planned not to study before the test
