阅读理解。     There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes
and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up
as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as
if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was
moved.
      I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not
particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I
looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
      It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just
another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As
we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then
the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
      From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and
decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me.
Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
      The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and
was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all
around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him
to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his
weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
     I looked forward to the return journey. 1. The author expected the train trip to be________ .A. adventurous
B. pleasant
C. exciting
D. dull2. What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?A. The friendly country people.
B. The mountains along the way.
C. The crowds of people in the streets.
D. The simple lunch served on the train.3. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word "relish" in the second paragraph?A. choose
B. enjoy
C. prepare for
D. carry on4. Where was the writer going?A. Johore Baru
B. The Causeway.
C. Butterworth
D. Singapore5. What can we learn from the story?A. Comfort in traveling by train.
B. Pleasure of living in the country.
C. Reading gives people delight.

阅读理解。     It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was
beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
     My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was
only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I"m so glad I did.
     On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself
was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel
to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
     On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn"t believe it ——there
aren"t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay,
in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
     The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move.
The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.
"She"s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, "my father said. At this point, my father moved our
boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently.
With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up
right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started
heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay
channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to
breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean
water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the
distance.
     In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for
almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I
still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. 1. The author says "I" m so glad I did. "( in Para. 2) because ________.      A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales
D. he spent the weekend with his family 2. The harbour survived the storm owing to(由于) ________.       A. the shape of the harbour
B. the arms of the bay
C. the still water in the channel
D. the long coast line 3. The mother whale failed to help her baby because ________.     A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction 4. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?      A. The author and his family helped the whales twice
B. It is dangerous for the whales to stay too long in the bay.
C. The whales could manage to escape on their own.
D. Finally, the whales began to trust the author and his family. 5. What is the theme of the story?    A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.
C. It"s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D. It"s vital to protect the environment.

   I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards
from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that
sort of career（职业）.
     I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn‘t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a
career.
     I then found myself a job,  looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems
began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the
evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，she’d give me time off the next. But
unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many
late nights and early mornings with the children.
     One Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with
me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification
（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn‘t think I would be accepted because I didn’t
take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful.
My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family，
and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
     Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier
that you could have a career，even if you aren’t top of  the class at school.

1. When staying with the two girls‘ family，the author ________.   A. was paid for extra work
B. often worked long hours
C. got much help from her boss
D. took a day off every other week 2. Why did the author leave her first job？   A. She found a full-time job.
B. She was fed up with children.
C. She decided to attend a part-time course.
D. She needed a rest after working extra hours..3. What has the author learned from her own experiences？   A. Less successful students can still have a career.

完形填空。     I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn"t like attention drawn to myself.
And   1    otherwise assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always    2    to sit at the back of the
classroom.
     All this   3   after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball
team. At first I thought it was a crazy  4   because I didn"t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have
the  5   to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept
insisting on my "   6    for  it", I wouldn"t have decided to give a try.
     Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the    7   of it! When I first started   8    the
practice sessions, I didn"t even know the rules of the game, much    9  what I was doing. Sometimes I"d
get   10   and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid.  11 , I wasn"t the only
one "new" at the game, so I decided to   12   on learning the game, do my best at each practice session,
and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn"t    13   "just yet".
     I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   14   and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and
motivating. Very soon the competitive   15    in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I
learned how to play and made friends in the   16    - friends who respected my efforts to work hard and
be a team player. I never had so much fun!
     With my   17 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from
  "18"   in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   19   raising my
hand- even when I sometimes wasn"t and not 100 percent   20   I had the right answer. Now I have
