     Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her
kind eyes.  Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Molly"s mark is a smile, stamped into
the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg.
     A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four or Molly"s legs and left
large cuts in her face. Molly"s owner, Kate Harris, took  her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were
able to save Molly"s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).
     At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This
pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that
Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.
     Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The
leg was a hollow case with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at
the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had a stamp of a smile face in it!
     After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her!
Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways,
too.
Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial
arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them
hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes,army bases and hospitals. A book was even
written about Molly!1. Molly is the name of a________. A. dog  
B.  horse
C.  parent  
D.  child2. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Molly can speak to people in kind words.
B.  Kay Harris took Molly to a children"s hospital after the attack.
C.  In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly"s life.
D.  Molly sometimes leaves smiling marks on people"s faces. 3. What is unique about Molly?A.  Molly has a false leg with a horseshoe shaped like a smiling face.
B.  Molly ran a race and won the first prize.
C.  Molly often visits places such as schools and parks.
D.  Molly has become a symbol of hope for people of all ages. 4. Which is the best title for the passage?A.  A Book on Molly
B.  A False Leg
C.  A successful Operation
D.  Leaving her Mark

试题【     Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
阅读理解     We"ve all heard the old saying,"Sticks and stones can break my bones,but words can never hurt me."
Don"t you believe it?Words are powerful,and they can hurt-a lot. In fact,if you"re not careful,you can even
hurt yourself,by using the wrong word in your writing.
     Recently a friend sent me a copy of an email she received from the customer service department of her
credit card company,after she contacted them with a question about her account. She was happy with their
positive response. But as I read the email,one line jumped out at me:"In lieu of good customer service..." 
     Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer
service?I doubt it. More likely,what the customer service department meant to say was,"Because good
customer service is important to us..." followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she
remained a happy customer.
     So why didn"t the writer say that?I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase "in lieu of",
thought it sounded more interesting than saying "because",and so used it-without bothering to check the
true meaning.
     Have you ever done that?Try to impress others with a big word,only to find out you"ve used the word
incorrectly?It"s just the opposite effect,isn"t it?You may impress people all right,but it"s not the impression
you were going for.
     When you write,remember to choose your words carefully. People may still disagree with what you
say,but they won"t be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.1. What"s the writer"s purpose in giving the saying?A. To amuse the reader.  
B. To persuade the reader.
C. To support a conclusion.  
D. To lead to the topic.2. It can be inferred that the writer"s friend _____.A. was the manager of the customer service department
B. was the customer of the credit card company
C. emailed a company to complain
D. used a phrase incorrectly3. What does the phrase "in lieu of" most probably mean?A. Because of.    
B. In honour of.
C. Instead of.      
D. In favour of.4. According to the writer,the customer service department _____.A. didn"t prefer to use familiar words to attract customers
B. didn"t express what they really meant
C. didn"t need to offer their customers extra reward points
D. succeeded in impressing their customers

阅读理解。     Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car
yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape
route-through the boot (行李箱).
     Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice
and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn’t
force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in."
     Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other
motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
     Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket
and I used it to unscrew(拧开) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer
trying to make someone hear, but no help came."
     It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the
boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud
poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed out as the car filled up."
     His hands and arms cut and bruised, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked
after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed
like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into
two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
1. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson?
A. The hammer.
B. The screw.
C. The coin.
D. The horn.
2. "Finally it gave"(Paragraph 5) means that _____.
A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end
B. At last the wrench went broken
C. The chance was lost at the last minute
D. The lock came open after all his efforts
3. Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down.
B. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the icy road.
C. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.
4. What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman
B. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot 
C. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route
D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident
