Ena因为患秃头症在几个月的时间里头发全掉光了。虽然她害怕别人嘲笑自己，但最终还是勇敢地接受了现实，积极地面对生活。
小题1:文章第一句说Ena很漂亮也很善良，紧接着讲述了发生在她身上的一件不幸的事情，因此上下文之间是转折关系，选However。
小题2:根据上一句可知，当Ena触摸自己头顶的时候，发现有一块地方的头发掉了，随后，她“发现，注意到”（noticed）枕头上有好多头发。
小题3:根据第三段中的all her hair had fallen out可知，此处应用fall out，表示在接下来的几个月里，Ena的头发一直在脱落。

Amy and Mark Blaubach were very excited about adopting a child from an orphanage (孤儿院). They thought they would adopt a baby girl. After waiting one and a half years, the social worker asked them to consider adopting a six-year-old boy named Jerry.
After the adoption papers were signed, Amy asked if Jerry had a good friend at the orphanage. Jerry said his best friend was Zack. That was the first time that Amy heard about Zack.
Then Jerry went to his new home with Amy and Mark, where he lived happily and adjusted very well. However, Jerry kept talking about his best friend that he had left behind at the orphanage. So Amy became determined to try and find out more about Zack.
She came across a database specifically for families who had adopted children from the orphanage where she met Jerry.

There has been an outpouring of love for, a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容师) tried to trim(修剪) its claws.
Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, “ I would like to buy her a new dog.”
A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily. Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that.” Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
“This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待),” Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.
People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate … and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”
“When Gooch was with me, I was happy,” Crouch said, “I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.”

小题2:People called and emailed to .| A．offer help and care to Laurie Crouch. | | B．give their angry voice to the groomer. | | C．offer a cure for Crouch’s disease. | | D．tell Crouch how to punish the groomer. |

Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’ interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.
Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg’s new film War Horse.
It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.
The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert’s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction(拍卖会).
Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.
Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive.
And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.
While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.
Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.
Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.
And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece – there will be tears.
Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “ Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.
小题1:In common with “ Saving Private Ryan”, the film War Horse _________ .| A．is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing | | B．received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play | | C．covers a lot of characters | | D．tells the story happening in the Second World War |
小题2:Which statement is true according to the passage?| A．War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg. | | B．Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people’s lives. | | C．Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe. | | D．Joey came to Albert’s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it. |
小题3:According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean?| A．astonishing | B．confusing | C．satisfying | D．disappointing |
小题4:What is the best title for the passage?| A．Joey ─ a heroic race horse | B．Albert and Joey | | C．Saving Private Joey | D．Spielberg’s Joey |

Once there was a very brilliant, creative and educated man. He gained much 36 while traveling throughout the world. 37 , he lost his legs and left arm in a tragic accident, leaving only a finger and thumb on his right hand.

The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be 47 . However, it would be against prison rules for the prisoners to write back.
48 with the intention, the man began sending 49 messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul 50 his words, 51 his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any 52 . Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone 53 read his letters. However, this was his 54 chance，so he determined to continue.
At last, he received a letter from the prison officer, which said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell (牢房) to cell until they almost fall to 55 !”
