Michael froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying that a man had been murdered by a bullet that had come from the sky. Thinking that the shot they had fired possibly was the shot that killed Mr. Ward, he immediately drove off. For the next two months, Michael and Joe hid the secret that the bullet had actually shot Mr. Ward.
During this time, Jenna Ward started to realize life without her father. While Jenna mourned the death of her father, a strange boy started to appear at the front steps of the church. After many nights of watching this boy, she finally recognized that it was Michael who was sitting on the steps every night.
After months of finding out where the shot came, the police arrived at Michael’s house. His dad mentioned the gun that Michael had received from his grandpa at his birthday party. Michael told the police that Joe had borrowed the gun. Upon this, Joe said that the gun had been stolen out of his car along with his CD player. After the police were gone, Michael met Joe and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard.
One day , Michael came home to find the police searching his backyard with metal detectors .When the Sergeant(警官)went into the woods behind the house , he came out with a bullet that Joe and he had shot off on his birthday .The bullet matched the one that they had recovered from Mr Ward , but without the gun , the police could not place Michael as the killer.
With the pressure increasing .Michael finally broke down and realized he had to give up .On a Saturday morning , he went to Jenna’s house to confess(懺悔) to her and her mother and then turned himself in .
小題1:It can be inferred from the story that Michael and Joe _____.

B．He was probably feeling upset and guilty.

D．He wanted to show sympathy for the Wards.
小題3:The underlined phrase “turned himself in” in the last paragraph means _____.

小題4:From the passage we can learn that _____.
A．Michael lent the gun to Joe at his birthday party

C．Michael hid the gun under the wood pile in his backyard
D．the Sergeant discovered the bullet in the wood pile

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:C

試題分析：Mr. Ward 被天上飛來的子彈打死了，聽到這消息后Michael 和Joe意識到是他們射向天空的子彈打死了Mr. Ward。他們保守著這個秘密，而且Michael還把那支槍藏了起來。但是受到良心的譴責(zé)，最終Michael交出了槍，自己投案自首了
小題1:A推理判斷題。從文章開頭Michael froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying a man had been murdered by a bullet that had come from the sky.可知Michael和Joe是無意中擊中Mr. Ward，致使他死亡的，所以A選項正確。
小題2:B推理判斷題。從文章末段講述Michael內(nèi)心感到愧疚而最終向Mr. Ward 的家人懺悔并且投案自首，由此可知他徘徊在Mr.Ward家門口是因為內(nèi)心不安、受良心譴責(zé)，所以B選項正確。
小題3:D詞意猜測題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段he came out with a bullet 。。。 but without the gun , the police could not place Michael as the killer和最后一段.可知他主動交出了槍，并向Mr. Ward的家人懺悔，由此推測他是投案自首了。所以D選項正確。
小題4:C細節(jié)理解題。從文章第三段Michael met Joe and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard.可知正確選項為C。

Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart      with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the      small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.
Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I     as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,      them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but     , at these prices, I don't know."
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every      you have together."
She smiled and I saw the feeling in her      as she placed the package in her basket and      away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then      the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the      smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and      welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses     , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my     . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost     . How did she know?
Suddenly the      seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't      me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn't know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn't have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.?
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.?
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.?
Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained. “I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.” The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.
小題1:All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.
A．poorB．warm -heartedC．silentD．cold
小題2:The underlined word “establish” in the 3th paragraph has the same meaning as_________.
A．keepB．discoverC．set upD．a(chǎn)ccept
小題3:The woman had the same problem with her son in the way that ______.
A．they both disabled people
B．they both had some difficulty in expressing
C．they both liked bus travel
D．they both brought interest to the passengers
小題4:Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
