The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽車) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (閃光) on the snow, and the trails (路線) were completely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going.
As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. ?
But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心).  My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.
As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.
I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重擊). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear.
小題1:What is the story mainly about?
A．What the author loves about snowmobiling.

小題2: What can be concluded from the article?
A．The author was confident as she was driving in the deserted wilderness.
B．The author didn’t get worried until they started to drive through the deserted wild.
C．Aware that she and her husband were the only people around, the author became anxious.
D．The author was so nervous that she almost crashed into a big tree.
小題3:According to the article, after lunch the author _____.
A．gradually calmed down
B．stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery
C．saw some wildlife on the mountain
D．was afraid to continue her journey
小題4:The underlined word “resent” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．consider B．a(chǎn)ppreciateC．hate D．recognize
小題5:What message does the story convey?
A．A person’s biggest enemy is his or her inner self.

C．Take time to enjoy the beauty of nature.

A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two week to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class, I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of raised hands. Every student would shout to be heard, and I would knock on something in order to silence them. I would yell, “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
小題1:The author took the job to teach writing because______________.
A．he wanted to be respectedB．he had written some stories
C．he wanted to please his fatherD．he had dreamed of being a teacher
小題2:What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
A．He would be aggressive in his first class.B．He was well-prepared for his first class.
C．He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D．He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
小題3:Before he started his class, the author asked the students to_______.
A．write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B．cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C．cut some cards out the construction paper
D．write down their names on the paper cards
小題4: What did the students do when the author started his class?
A．They began to talk.B．They stayed silent.
C．They raised their hands.D．They shouted to be heard.
小題5:The author chose the composition topic probably because________.

B．he had prepared the topic before class.
C．he wanted to calm down the students

When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines (TWA).
I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac（機場停機坪）in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
小題1:Many people crowded the terminal because _______.
A．they were ready to board on the planes
B．something was wrong with the terminal
C．the flights to the Northeast were canceled
D．the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
小題2: How did the writer get to Providence at last?___
A．by airB．by van
C．by trainD．by underground
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?______
A．Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
B．The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
C．Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
D．McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.
小題4:What can be implied from the passage?____
A．The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
B．The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
C．The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
D．Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.

I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket, whether it was for speeding, parking or stop sign violations(違反). It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.
I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work, I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.
The truth is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted(思想不集中的) that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.
The policeman was rude and took my papers. Luckily, I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before, there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”, I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road, perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.
People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly, it never occurred to me. I felt guilty（有罪的）. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there, as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy（悲�。�.
小題1:What is this passage mainly about?
A．The writer’s most unforgettable experience.
B．How the writer got her first ticket.
C．An accident caused by the writer.
D．Why the writer is always so careful.
小題2:We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to         .
A．people who are crazy about driving cars
B．a(chǎn) club for drivers without much experience
C．people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules
D．a(chǎn) club for people to talk about their driving stories
小題3:What made the writer unable to focus on(集中思想) her driving?
A．Planning how to spend the vacation.
B．Thinking of the forgotten vacation.
C．Thinking about her work.
D．Missing her children.
小題4:When the writer received the ticket, she         .
A．felt lucky that she was an experienced driver
B．was so nervous that she shook all over
