He drove up into the arm, where he met the farmer. “ Excuse me, ” the traveler said. “ I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I just had to stop and ask about it. Tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg?” The farmer smiled. “ Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He’s the finest pig I’ve ever had ---and smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig.”
“ One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I fell down and knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out. There is no question about it ---- that night old Caesar saved all our lives. You know that I’m not going to forget it too easily.”
“ Why,” the traveler said, “ this is amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me, how did he get that wooden leg?”
The farmer laughed and said, “ Well, when you have a pig so smart, you don’t want to eat him all at one time!”
小题1:The farmer thought the pig _______.
| A．very fat | B．very clever | C．very kind | D．very strange |

小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:C
解析
试题分析：文章讲述了一个幽默的故事。一头聪明的猪救了主人一家，农民不舍的把它***死，就只是吃掉了它的一条腿。
小题1:根据第三段“...He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out.”可知，那头猪救了农民一家人，它是聪明的。故选B。
小题2:根据最后一句“”“ Well, when you have a pig so smart, you don’t want to eat him all at one time!”
当你有一头如此聪明的猪时，你不会舍得一下子就把它吃掉（农民先吃了它的一条腿）。故选D。
小题3:根据文意可知，作者看到一头有木制腿的猪，好奇地问农民是怎么回事。农民给作者讲述了一个猪救人的故事。但是，聪明的猪仍然难逃被宰***的命运，只是，农民没有舍得把它***死，而是想分多次把它吃完。这是一个幽默的故事，文章不是新闻报道；猪虽然救了人但难逃厄运，这不是令人感动的故事；作者没有给读者开玩笑。故选C。

It is very exciting to make a new discovery. Some people will do the strangest things for this excitement, such as going round the world in a balloon or walking to the North Pole. There are not many new places to explore but there is a lot of new information to be discovered in science and a journey into this unknown area can be much more worthwhile and just as exciting.
I am sometimes asked, “What do you have to do to win a Nobel Prize?” My answer is: “I don’t know. I have never tried.” But I know of one way not to win one. There are some people whose main reason for doing science is to win prizes and they are always thinking about how to do it. Such people don’t succeed. To do good science you must be interested in it and enjoy doing experiments and thinking out problems. And, of course, you must be prepared to work hard and not to be too discouraged by failure.
小题1:In the writer’s eyes his greatest pleasure in all his lifetime is _______.
| A．to win the Nobel Prize for the first time |
| B．to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the second time. |
| C．in the work itself |
| D．to have a much more important recognition of his work. |
| A．You will be able to win the Nobel Prize through the scientific research |
| B．You can make as much money as possible by doing the scientific research. |
| C．You may continue doing with something different and exciting, so you can never be tired of doing the scientific research. |
| D．You can get much more chances of promotion by making the scientific research. |
| A．He would forget this failure and start the next experiment. |
| B．He used to be worried about it for several days and never forget it. |
| C．He always gave up his study as the result of the failure. |
| D．He used to think out the reasons and then continue to do it again. |
| A．The writer could still keep calm when he heard the news that he had won the Nobel Prize. |
| B．The writer always gave up his courage when he met with some difficulties in the course of his scientific research. |
| C．In the field of science there are still many new things which need to be studied further. |
| D．There are still many exciting places to explore in the world. |
As I held my father’s hands one night, I couldn’t help but notice their calluses(老茧) and roughness. His hands tell the story of his life as a , including all his struggles.
One summer, I remember, a drought (旱灾) hit Ontario, turning it into a desert. On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my dad to fill the last from the grocery store.

I was completely frustrated and . Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves!” Dad , “Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we’re .” Such is Dad — whatever problem he , he never gives up.
, the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our county. It was a challenging time for everyone, Dad remained optimistic. He to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plates. Only then did I truly begin to Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.
Dad is also a living example of real . From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to our family. He always puts our happiness his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games his exhaustion after long days. His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic and , putting others first.
Dad, the life I have learned from you will stay with me forever. You are my father, teacher, friend and, most importantly, my hero.

Where we live，on the eastern shore of Maryland，the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place，as do the white swans and the ducks. In autumn，they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year，snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens，if the river is at its narrowest，there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.
One morning，a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window，which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out，“There is a goose out there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose，very still，its wings folded tight to its sides，its feet frozen into the ice.
Then from the dark skies，she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now，with one hand against her mouth，unbelieving. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose，she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by those great swan bills.
Instead，those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down，again and again. It went on for a long time. At last，the goose’s head was lifted. Its body was pulled. Then the goose was free and stood on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then，as if it had cried，“I cannot fly.” Four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly，the goose spread its wings as far as they would go，and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moment，and from it comes only one hopeful question：If so for birds，why not for man？
小题1:Which would be the best title for the passage?
| A．Why Not for Man? | B．Graceful Swans |
| C．Swans’ Brave Act | D．I Just Couldn’t Believe It! |
| A．It was deserted by other geese. |
| B．It was stuck in the ice. |
| C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly. |
| D．It was lost in the water. |
| A．the swans would not help the Canada goose |
| B．she didn’t care about this matter any more |
| C．the swans wouldn’t identify with the Canada goose |
| D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death |
| A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers. |
| B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt. |
| C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together. |
| D．They stayed with it and protected it. |
Hooke’s early education began at home，under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of thirteen，and from there he went to Oxford，where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and devising（发明） instruments. In 1662，at the age of twenty－eight，he was named Curator of Experiments of the newly formed Royal Society of London. Hooke accepted the job，even though he knew that it had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through the microscope was one of his favorite occupations. He devised a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木) under a microscope，he saw honeycomb－like structures. They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact，it was Hooke who coined the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院)．
Perhaps because of his varied interests，Hooke often left experiments unfinished. Others took up where he left off and then claimed sole(独占的)credit. This sometimes led to quarrels with colleagues. One work that he finished was his book MICROGRAPHIA，a volume that reveals the immense potential of the microscope. The book also includes，among other things，ideas on gravity and light which may have helped scientists like Newton while they were developing their own theories on these phenomena.
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(陨石坑) on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.
小题1:From the first paragraph，we can know that Robert Hooke __________.
| A．was famous because he worked with many scientists |
| B．liked making friends with the famous people |
| C．received a lot from other scientists |
| D．made contributions to many different fields |
| A．1647 | B．1634 | C．1662 | D．1640 |
| A．learning by himself with his father’s help |
| B．introducing himself to them |
| C．designing experiments and instruments |
| D．refusing any reward from Royal Society of London |
| A．he couldn’t finish his work on time sometimes |
| B．he had all kinds of interests in his daily life |
| C．he was too proud to look up to them |
| D．the other scientists took the fruits of his experiments |
