是：我的手漸漸變成了熟透了的馬鈴薯的顏色,即凍成了紫紅色。
小題17:little by little意思是“漸漸地”,符合語境：一陣麻木的疼痛漸漸從我右手的拇指傳來。now and then意思是“不時(shí)地”；here and there意思是“到處”；one by one
意思是“一個(gè)接著一個(gè)地”。
小題18:quit表示“放棄；離開；停止”。由于水太冷了,作者的手被凍得受不了,因此

Jesse Owens is recognized as a hero not just because he is fast. Some people might say that they know him for just that reason. However, there are lots of fast people who are not known. Jesse Owens is known because Chancellor Adolf Hitler did not shake the hand of Jesse Owens or even recognize his feat of winning four gold medals, because Owens was an African American.
Jesse Owens owed much of his success to his coach Charles Riley, who probably was the most important one making him have the career that he did. Owens came from a background that required him to work after school in a shoe shop. He couldn’t attend the regularly scheduled track practices organized by his school. However, Charles Riley saw the boy had both a passion(熱情) and a talent for running, and so arranged for him to be able to practice before school instead.
Jesse Owens achieved this success despite(盡管) his racial background, which at the time was a huge limitation to him. He could only eat in certain restaurants and sleep in certain hotels, as could all African Americans of the time. He was also never offered a scholarship for school despite setting records for NCAA(美國全國大學(xué)生體育協(xié)會(huì)) championships.
The Berlin Olympics in 1936 is where his star rose as high as it would ever be able to. These Olympics were during the height of Hitler’s rule. It took courage to race in front of Hitler and many other racist(種族主義者). It took time, determination, and perseverance(堅(jiān)持不懈) to race like him. He won four gold medals at those Olympics. It would take almost fifty years for someone else to walk away from the Olympics with four gold medals. He passed away at the age of 66 from lung cancer.
小題1:The underlined word “feat” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “            .”
A．chanceB．happinessC．successD．hope
小題2: We know from paragraph 2 that Jesse Owens             .
A．did not need to work after school
B．took part in the regular track practices
C．did not get along well with his coach
D．was arranged to practice before school
小題3:Jesse Owens was well-known around the world mainly because he             .
A．sets records for NCAA championships
B．was brave enough to race in front of Adolf Hitler
C．didn’t want to shake hands with Hitler
D．is recognized as a hero of the white Americans
小題4:According to the passage, which of the following about Jesse Owens is true?
A．Hitler recognized his feat of winning four gold medals.
B．He was offered a scholarship for setting records for NCAA championships.
C．He could only eat in certain restaurants like many other African Americans.
D．It took him almost fifty years to walk away from the Olympics with four gold medals.
小題5:What is the best title for the passage?
A．Sport hero ---- Jesse OwensB．The Berlin Olympics in 1936
C．Charles Riley ---- Jesse Owens’ s coach D．Jesse Owens’s childhood

Once upon a time, there was a man who was so famous that everyone in his country knew him.
One day, the famous man was sitting in a restaurant with his sister. “It must be great to be famous. Everyone tries to please you, and you can do whatever you want to,” said his sister. “It’s quite the opposite sometimes, in fact. Because I’m famous, I can’t do what I want to,” he denied. “But look, we’re sitting at the best table and eating the best food. We couldn’t sit here and eat this if you weren’t famous,” said his sister. “I’ll show you what I mean,” said he.
The next day, the famous man picked up his sister and took her to another country. “I’m not at all famous here,” he said. “Let’s see how we get on.” Soon they found a restaurant, but it was very busy, so they had to queue. “This wouldn’t have happened if you were famous,” said his sister, but the famous man just smiled.
When they finally got a table, it took the waiter years to bring what they ordered. And the food supposed to be hot was cold, and the food supposed to be cold was hot!

Joseph Goldberger was a doctor for the Unite States Public Health Service. In 1912, he began to study a disease that was killing thousands of people in the South. The disease was pellagra(煙酸缺乏病).
Doctor Goldberger traveled to the state of Mississippi where many people had pellagra. He studied the patients and their families. Most of the people were poor. The doctor came to believe that the disease was not passed from one person to another, but instead had something to do with food.
He received agreement from state officials to test this idea at a prison(監(jiān)獄). Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part. One group of prisoners received their usual food, mostly corn. A second group ate meat, fresh vegetables and milk. Members of the first group developed pellagra. The second group did not.
But some experts refused to accept that poor food caused pellagra. They thought there were other causes.
So Doctor Goldberger put blood(血液) from a person with pellagra into his own body. He even took pills that had blood from pellagra patients. An assistant also took part in the experiments. So did Doctor Goldberger’s wife. None of them got sick. Later, the doctor discovered that a bit of dried brewer’s yeast(釀酒的酵母) each day could prevent pellagra.
Joseph Goldberger died of cancer in 1929. He was 55 years old. Several years later, researchers discovered the true cause of pellagra: having little of the vitamin B.

A．22.B．30.C．38.D．55.
小題2:The underlined part “this idea” (in Paragraph 3) refers to          .
A．the guessing that pellagra had something to do with food
B．a(chǎn) kind of yeast that prevented pellagra
C．pellagra that was easily passed from one person to another
D．a(chǎn) poor food that caused pellagra
小題3: Which is the right order about what Doctor Goldberger did?
a. He did a test on prisoners at a prison.
b. He did the experiments on himself.
c. He came to Mississippi to study the patients and their families.
d. He found poor food was easy to cause pellagra.
e. He discovered a little dried brewer’s yeast every day could prevent pellagra.
A．a(chǎn), d, c, e, bB．c, a, d, b, eC．b, e, c, a, dD．c, b, e, a, d
小題4: This passage mainly tells us          .
A．Doctor Goldberger’s life
B．something about pellagra
