阅读理解     One terribly cold day, a snowstorm hit our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce,
to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have
a friend who could warn me of dangers.
     When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, Bruce suddenly warned me, "Don"t cut down
that tree! It"s too close to the power line!" I wasn"t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I couldn"t
wait to finish the job and go back home. I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any
doubt whether my friend was right.
     The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all,
electricity can"t travel through wood. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through
my head. I had been shocked!
     After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from
the power company soon arrived. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face
turned pale. "You should have been killed," he said. It was my boots that saved my life.
     Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down--but not my mother. Even
though she was glad that I wasn"t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all(毕竟), I shouldn"t have
brushed off my friend"s warning.1. Although Bruce warned him, the writer still cut the tree down because __________.A. he was sure there would be nothing to happen
B. he wasn"t sure if Bruce was right and expected to go home earlier
C. he didn"t hear his friend"s warning at all because of the blowing wind
D. he knew electricity can"t travel through wood2. The underlined phrase "brushed off" in the last paragraph may mean "__________".A. pay no attention to
B. give up
C. think over
D. give in3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Without his boots, the writer would have been killed by electricity.
B. The writer"s mother was angry with what he had done.
C. When the tree was cut down, the writer realized his friend was right.
D. When the tree caught the power line, Bruce called the power company.4. In the passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us __________.A. one of his terrible experiences when cutting down a tree

     Perhaps the only test score that I remembered is the 55 when I was in high school.
     The test was the final for a course. I remembered waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right passed out our papers one by one. It was a rather difficult
test. I heard my classmates groaning, and I could tell by the groans that the
scores weren’t looking good.
     Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to
draw attention, was my score, 55!
     I lowered my head, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not
something that you wanted your classmates to see. “The scores were not
very good, none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the
class was a 55.”
     A 55. That’s me!
     Suddenly my sad look didn’t look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.
     I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “How did
you do in your test?” “I made a 55,” I said.
     A frown(皱眉) now stood on my father’s face. I knew I had to explain
immediately. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class, ” I proudly
stated. I thought that explanation would make a difference. “You failed!” my father replied. “But it’s the highest!” I insisted. “I don’t care what scores others had, but you failed. What matters is what you do!” my father
firmly said.
     For years, my father was always that way. It didn’t matter what others
did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
     We often don’t understand the wisdom(智慧)of good parents until
we ourselves stand in the parents’ shoes. My father’s words have carried me throughout life.
1. The word “groaning” is the closest in meaning to      .
A. singing        
B. laughing      
C. complaining  
D. quarreling
2. In class, to hide my score from my classmates, I        .
A. lowered my head                
B. covered my score up
C. walked home alone              
D. explained immediately
3. A frown stood on my father’s face because he thought     .
A. I did a bad job in the test          
B. I gave a good excuse
C. I became the worst student        
D. I stood in his shoes
4. We can infer from the passage that         .
A. the father was strict with his child
B. the writer was always poor in tests
C. Mr. Right was worried about the writer
D. the writer was always happy with his scores
5. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The Final Test

     My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him.
But he didn"t talk anything with me and even with others. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that
he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I
sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
     One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and prayed. "Please God, I can"t do anything more for my
son. I"m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you."
     I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl"s
absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up(哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came
pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don"t know what to do. I"ve tried everything to get
Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It"s out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other
end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung up.
     Karl"s next report card showed a surprising improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. That year,
I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at his great progress. On our
way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I"d play
a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That"s when I knew I had to make
you proud."

阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容,选择最佳选项。
     A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
     The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but
his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.
     "Mr. Tanaka," the boy finally asked, "shouldn"t I be learning more moves?"
     "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you"ll ever need to know," his teacher
replied.
     Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his
first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his
own success.

wanted to stop the match.
     "No," the teacher insisted, "let him continue." Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment
the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.
     On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was
really in his mind.
     "Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
     "You won for two reasons," his teacher answered. "First, you"ve almost mastered one of the most
difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to
catch your left arm."
