Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother.The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“Farah,aren’t you going to invite Hafsa?”her mother asked.Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.
“Mother,you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,”Farah answered.
“Really?And what are the rules?”her mother asked.
“Well,only very pretty girls can be part of our group.And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.”
“I cannot believe it,”her mother said angrily. 
As Farah left the kitchen,her father called  her from the living room.
Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands.“Farah,what has happened to your grades?You have failed in Mathematics,”her father said.
Farah had no answer.The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
“Farah,it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then,I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her room and called Gina,the leader of Purple Girls Club, “Gina,can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?”
Gina laughed.“Exams?Who cares about exams?”
One by one,she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.
Farah knew Hafsa would help her.Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her,but Hafsa said,“If you need any help,just let me know.We can study together till your exams.”
Next Monday,as two friends entered the school together,Gina called out.
“Farah,you know our rules.You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”
“Gina,I have a new rule about friendship,”Farah replied.
小题1:After Farah became a member of Purple Girls  Club,she chose a friend according to a person’s________.

小题2:Farah became pale after going to her father because________.

B.she didn’t do well in her exams
C.she had to leave Purple Girls Club
D.he asked her to improve her grades

小题4:What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B.A perfect friend will never be found.
C.Be slow in choosing a friend.
D.Friendship can be developed easily.

答案

小题1:A
小题2:B
小题3:D
小题4:A
解析

试题分析:Farah为了庆祝考试结束要举行派对,但却没有邀请闺蜜Hafsa,因为她新加入的俱乐部要求只有漂亮女孩才能邀请并交友。然而Farah数学考试不及格需要人帮助时,只有Hafsa肯帮忙。这让Farah懂得了友谊的真谛。
小题1:细节理解题。由“Well,only very pretty girls can be part of our group.And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.”可知,她们认为Hafsa太黑不漂亮而不让她加入,因此交友标准是“外表”。故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。“Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands.”由后文可知,Farah是由于数学挂科所以才看见爸爸拿着成绩单而脸色苍白的。故选B。
小题3:推理判断题。Silly愚蠢的,笨的;Beautiful漂亮的;Rude粗鲁的;Kind善良的。文中Hafsa在关键时刻没有抛弃朋友,即使朋友为邀请自己参加派对。所以应该是“善良的”。故选D。
小题4:主旨大意题。综合全文可看出朋友是那些在你需要的时候伸出援手的人,而不是单凭外表来判断。所以主旨是A项“患难时刻见真交”。故选A。

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)?Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a four--hour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride,there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation-in another language.It was  loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two--day trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home,although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life,different countries,and many  languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of  cultures.If you get hungry,you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.
It sure beats driving the car,which has to stop for food and restrooms.And it is better than taking the bus.

I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft(草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
小题1:What can we learn from the text?
A.“The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B.People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C.Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D.Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
小题2:What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
A.Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B.Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.
C.Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D.Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
小题3:Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A.One of Tolkien’s students.B.Stanley Unwin’s son.
C.Allen & Unwin.D.Bilbo Baggins.
小题4:What is mainly discussed in the text?
A.“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B.A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C.A famous professor at Oxford University.
D.The power of the magic ring.
小题5:Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?
a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.
b. He became a member of the Inklings.
c. He served in World WarⅠ
d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.
f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.
