Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far

He needed to get up before sunrise every day to help
his father on the farm. During sunrise he would 51 and
climb up on the fence along the side of the farm. He could
see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other

himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest.
Knowing that this was his 54 , he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the
house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how 55 he was. The house was much
farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw a place in bad need of a painting
56 golden windows. A small girl very close to his age 57 the poor house and stood by the
broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said,
“Sure, I know.” And invited him to sit on the porch. As he sat there, he looked back from where

VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)
There! I have drawn the chairs into the right corners, and
dusted the room nicely. How cold mum and daddy will be when
they return from their long ride! It is not time to toast the bread
yet, and I am tired of reading.
What shall I do? Somehow, I can’t help thinking about thepale face of that little beggar girl all the time. I can see the glad light filling her eyes, just as
obvious as I did when I laid the dime (一角硬币) in her little dirty hand.
How much I had thought of that dime, too! Grandfather gave it to me a whole month ago,
and I had kept it ever since in my red box upstairs; but those sugar apples looked so beautiful, and
were so cheap―only a dime a piece―that I made up my mind to have one.
I can see her―the beggar girl, I mean―as she stood there in front of the store, in her old
hood(风帽) and faded dress, looking at the candies laid all in a row. I wonder what made me say,
“Little girl, what do you want?”
How she stared at me, just as if nobody had spoken kindly to her before. I guessed she
thought I was sorry for her, for she said, so sadly, “I was thinking how good one of those
gingerbread rolls would taste. I haven’t had anything to eat today.”
Then, I thought to myself, “Mary Williams, you have had a good lunch and a good dinner
today, and this poor girl has not had a mouthful. You can give her your dime; she needs it a great
deal more than you do.”
I couldn’t resist that little girl’s hungry look, so I dropped the dime right into her
hand. And without waiting for her to speak, I walked straight away. I’m so glad I gave her the
dime, if I did have to go without the apple lying there in the window, I didn’t mind.
74. Mary got the dime from her ________.
A) parents B) grandfather
C) good friend D) neighbour
75. The underlined word “one” in paragraph three refers to(指的是) ________.
A) a piece of bread B) a red box
C) a piece of sugar apple D) a chair

A) Mary didn’t like the beggar girl B) the beggar girl wanted sugar apples
C) Mary’s family used to be poor D) the beggar girl was really poor
77. We can learn from the underlined sentence of the last paragraph that Mary was a ________
girl.
A) kind B) honest
C) funny D) lonely
78. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A) Mary dropped the dime in the beggar girl’s hand and then talked with her.
B) The beggar girl hadn’t eaten anything before she met Mary that day.
C) Mary toasted some bread while waiting for her parents coming back.

成短文):（12分）
It was my first week in Kansas City, the USA. My friend, Sharon, asked me whether I’d
like to try McDonald’s for a quick lunch. So, we went. American fast food is quite popular in
China, so I could 80 pick something that I used to have in Beijing—a super burger, a coke and
French fries, though the names of the food were in English. 81 , the burger was much bigger
than what I had back home. I thought to myself, after all, most
Americans are bigger than Chinese. They must need more for
lunch.
With my lunch set in front of me, I wanted some tomato
sauce to 82 my French fries, so I went to the waiter and asked
him for some tomato sauce.
“What?” he looked puzzled. “Tomato sauce?”
I started to feel uncertain. I had studied English for six years. He should be able to understand me
without any problems. Maybe, it was not called “tomato sauce” here, I 83 .
“I’m not sure what you call that thing,” I tried again, “but it’s American food, and you put
tomato sauce on everything.”
“Sorry , Miss,” he said, shaking his head, “but we don’t have tomato sauce here. Never
have.”
I walked back to Sharon and asked her the question. She smiled and asked me to wait for a
moment. A few minutes later, she came back with several packages that I had asked for. So, they
never used the 84 packages for the tomato sauce. Oh, no, it’s written right there, “Ketch-up”.
“What’s the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce?” I asked.
“I don’t know 85 we call it this name,” replied Sharon. “Never thought about it.”
Sharon’s smile suddenly made me realize that the difference between Ketch-up and the
tomato sauce lay not so much in the food itself as in our different cultures.
80. A) carefully B) happily C) easily D) hardly
81. A) To my surprise B) For example C) In addition D) In this way
82. A) compete B) match C) mix D) cook
83. A) wondered B) believed C) agreed D) apologized
84. A) expensive B) attractive C) natural D) same
85. A) how B) where C) why D) when
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
In the movie 2012, the volcano(火山)in Yellowstone
National Park erupts（爆发）, smoke flies thousands of meters
into the air, and car-sized pieces of stone and ash fly out.
Now, some scientists say, it’s very possible that the
Yellowstone volcano will soon erupt in r 86 life for the fourth
time in history, after about 640,000 years. According to the
Daily Mail, the volcano in the Yellowstone National Park,
Wyoming, US, has been rising at a record rate since 2004. Its magma (岩浆) surface has gone u
87 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) per year over the last three years alone. This rise is one of the main
s 88 that a volcano is about to erupt. However, scientists are not certain when the eruption will
happen or what it will cause.
Unlike what happens in the movie 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole
world, b 89 it could cause huge damage to people living nearby. For example, the 2010 eruption
of the Iceland Volcano caused more than 800 people to l 90 their homes and many airports in
European countries to shut down for a few days.
There are more than 1, 500 active volcanoes in the world. A volcano is c 91 active if it
has erupted at least once during the last 10, 000 years. In ancient times, more than 80 percent of
the earth’s surface was volcanic. Volcanic eruptions formed the sea floor and some mountains
over many years. Gas from volcanoes formed the earth’s atmosphere（大气）.
Volcanoes come from very hot liquid rock, that is magma, inside the earth. When magama
comes upward and breaks through the earth’s surface, it forms volcanoes.
The rising magma heats water, which leads to explosions of steam. This pushes rocks and
ash high into the sky. T 92 different things erupt from a volcano: hot liquid rock, volcanic ash
and gases.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
My mother’s dream of becoming a teacher was interrupted
by an unexpected child: me. So she had to leave college to marry
my father. Even though my mother left the field of education
formally, she did not leave it entirely.
That first day of kindergarten, I opened my lunch box,
inside which I found a note from my mother written on a
napkin(一小块布), saying that she loved me, that she was proud
of me and that I was the best kindergartner in the world! Because of that napkin note, I made it
through my first day of kindergarten ... and many more school days to follow.
There have been many napkin notes since the first one. There were napkin notes in
elementary school when I was struggling with maths, telling me to “Hang in there. You can do it!”教育资源分享店铺

There were napkin notes in high school, when my basketball team was the first team in our
school’s history to play in a state championship, telling me, “There is no ‘I’ in team. You have got
this so far because you know how to share.” And there were even napkin notes sent to me in
college and graduate school, far away from my mother’s physical touch. Despite the changes of
college, majors, boyfriends, and the way I looked at the world, my mother’s encouragement,
support and teachings, repeated in years of love and napkin notes.
For Christmas this year, my 46-year-old mother was finally going back to school to earn her
degree in teaching. I also gave her a Christmas gift for school: a lunch bag filled with her favorite
foods. As she opened up her “You can do it!” napkin note to me, tears began running down her
face. When her eyes met mine, I saw she passed my unspoken message: My mother is, and has
always been, a teacher.

Different countries have different customs. In the U.S., people prefer waiting for a table to
sitting with people they don’t know. But if you are sitting at a table with strangers, it is impolite to
smoke without asking if it will trouble them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are
usually served cold water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you
order coffee, you may get a free refill. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and
closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. In restaurants, if
you can’ t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a
“doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for
yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday
dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
In some restaurants, a bill is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter
or waitress brings you your change. A tip of about 15% of the price of a meal is expected and you
should leave it on the table when you go away.
