选项.
     In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But
with her soft voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.   1    At that
time, the girl knew she had misspelled the word. But instead of lying and telling the judges she had said
the correct letter, she told the truth that she had said the wrong letter.   2   .
     As the girl walked off the stage, the entire audience stood on their feet clapping to applaud her
honesty. Later, dozens of newspaper wrote about this 11-year-old girl"s courage and honesty, even
when it cost her the contest.    3  
     Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would
never get caught.
     This young girl could easily have lied, and nobody would have known it but her. But that"s just it:
She would know she did wrong.      4   
     This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own conscience and character more than
the prize from a spelling contest. Her respect for herself was more important than any respect others
might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the choice she
made at the moment. 
     5   
A. So she won the contest.
B. As a result, she lost the contest.
C. The judges wanted to give her another chance.
D. It"s been said, "If you cheat, you make yourself cheap."
E. It"s so true that the choices you make today make what you are tomorrow.
F. They talked it over and finally decided to simply ask her what she had said.
G. But the fact is that she won the biggest contest that day: the contest of her character.

阅读理解     It  was Thanksgiving  morning. I  was  busy  preparing the traditional Thanksgiving  turkey  when the
doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top
step.
     "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.
     I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
     "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
     They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
     The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking
at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?"
     "Am I rich? Pity, no!"
     I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and
said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had
reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
     Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
     I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
     I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals
were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how
rich I am. 1.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Lady, are you rich?
B.A story of Thanksgiving Day
C.Don"t forget how rich you are
D.Does cups and saucers match well?2.The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________.A.she wanted to sell old papers to them
B.she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party
C.she showed great pity and care on them
D.she had the same experience as them in the past3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.
B.The writer had thought she wasn"t rich because her supplies were not expensive.
C.If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.
D.After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.

阅读理解     Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always
tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even
death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance.
     After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton,
Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created
diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over
1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
     Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online
children"s forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over,"
says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone."
     Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States,
with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
      These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and
supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fightit.org has raised about
$ 23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival
in the Caribbean.
      Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while
still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into
finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher is the only
person I know saying people need help now."

1. Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?
A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C. He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.

2. Diabeticrockstar.com was created for ________.
A. diabetics to communicate
B. volunteers to find jobs
C. children to amuse themselves
D. rock stars to share resources

3. According to the text, Kody ________.
A. feels lonely because of his illness
B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C. helps create the online kid"s forums
D. writes children"s stories online

4. What can we learn about Fight It?
A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D. It owns a wellknown medical website.

5. The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ________.
A. works fulltime in a diabetes charity
B. employs 22 people for his website
C. helps diabetics in his own way
D. tries to find a cure for diabetes

阅读理解     As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father
would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to
Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and
West Germany.
     I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going
abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them
first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the
excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for
someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.
     After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf
to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was
simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked
the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most
enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
     Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even
today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.
Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on
Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.
