【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
A
I'm a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my 7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us. Our conversation varied from business to entertainment to the economy.
Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial TV show, when I'm out on the streets.
He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I'm James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who's very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I'm poor, so can you please help me?”
Speechless, I stared in the man's eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me, “What's wrong with you? Your face changed.” I told him and he was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations(目的地).
All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.
On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
“Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I'll pay all expenses for his sick daughter's treatment.” JoJo said, with a check in his hand. “I've been married for 35 years. I wasn't lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James.
Now James' daughter is well and living a normal life, so James and his wife are the happiest couple on earth. JoJo often visits her. I'm so happy that there are so many good people on this earth.
(1)The writer went to the beach to ______________.
A.meet JoJo on purpose
B.make a TV show
C.have lunch with his daughter
D.help James

D.JoJo was full of love and was willing to help the James.

I was diagnosed with allergies (過敏反應(yīng)) when I was a little kid. Other than family, no one truly knows I have allergies, although I have to tell people it's allergies when my eyes start to tear up. Sometimes my friends just tease in a friendly way.
I look like a normal kid. I don't mind telling people about my allergies—after all, it's normal to have them. Having allergies hasn't affected my self-confidence.
For example, I am a big traveler and I would enjoy going to see the cherry blossoms in Washington, D. C. But when I come anywhere within a 10-foot range of cherry blossoms it feels like I lose almost all my senses! Even though it's only temporary, I still feel miserable.
My allergies haven't stopped me from traveling when I can, though. My class trip was to Williamsburg in Virginia. At first it was supposed to be during cherry blossom time, and that had me worried.
I've had to rethink some of my dreams, too. Since I'm allergic to animals with fur, I may need to adjust my hopes of being a veterinarian (獸醫(yī)) or working in an agricultural-science department.
Now I have learned to deal with my allergies and even see the good side sometimes. Having allergies has taught me not to be prejudiced about people's health conditions.
A. I do get made fun of.
B. My allergies have been getting better.
C. If I don't take my medicine I can get really bad breath.
D. You can't tell by looking at me that I have a health condition.
E. Fortunately, it was changed to February, so I went and had the best time!
F. But I'm interested in so many things and there are plenty of other careers out there!
G. Sure, my allergies have held me back from doing some of the things that I love to do.

【題目】閱讀短文,回答下列問題。
A
Although he will always be remembered for starring “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve's life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord (脊椎) injuries and an supporter of stem cell (干細(xì)胞) research.
Unlike the man of steel, he wasn't faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn't leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve showed in trying to overcome his paralysis (癱瘓) from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.
“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain's Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”
Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.
He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.
Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.
(1)Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?
A.strong-willed and caring.
B.tough and persuasive.
C.caring and reliable.
D.sympathetic and considerate.
(2)The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that .
A.Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film
B.the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered
C.Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis
D.the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film
(3)Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except .
A.setting up a non-profit research organization
B.winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles
C.influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research
D.struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research
(4)It can be implied from the passage that .
A.Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis
B.stem cell research has long been a controversial subject
C.paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems
D.some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future
(5)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries
B.A Real Hero in Film
C.A Forever Superman
D.A Struggling Life

Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with (inform) in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is (responsibility) for learning the material assigned. When research (assign), the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain a university library works; they expect students, (especial) graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference origins in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties teaching, such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time a professor can spend with a student outside of class (limit). If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad's office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career.(1)I guess I had taken his work for granted.
(2)For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. (3)He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn't much. I also found a part-time job.
(4)He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn't affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.
(5)The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad's understanding of business and his work ethic(信條)are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.
