阅读理解。     Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there
a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
     My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family
but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult,I feared him and
felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if
their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to
struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
     On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We
walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial
expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my
father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
     The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own
childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted with my new
friend

B. sorry
C. tired
D. safe 3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? A. More critical
B. More talkative

     MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border (边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US
citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington"s strict new security (安全) rules.
     The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border.
Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The
nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
     There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between
Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
     As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the
US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs (海关) station in this are is closed on
Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared
last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs
office, where an officer told him be had been caught on carnera crossing the border illegally (非法).
     Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country
when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the
people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
     Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a
Sunday church since. "I feel like I"m living in a prison," he said.
1.We learn from the text that Richard Albert is _____.
A. an American living in Township 15
B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C. a Canadian working in a customs station
D. an American working in a Canadian church
2. Albert was fined because he _____.
A. failed to obey traffic rules
B. broke the American security rules
C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D. damaged the gate of the customs office
3. The underlined word "detour" in paragraph 5 means _____.
A. a drive through the town
B. a race across the fields
C. a roundabout way of travelling
D. a journey in the mountain area
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Cross-country Trip
B. A Special Border Pass
C. An Unguarded Border
D. An Expensive Church Visit

     At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until
1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to
carry a red lamp.
     Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles
an hour.In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered
their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country,
but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
     One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men
walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could.The police became very interested in walls
and shop-fronts when they heard the car,and not one of them saw it.
     They reached a hill ;but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was
getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The
slow car reached him.
     "Good evening," said the policeman,looking at the car.
     "Good evening," said Rolls,holding the lamp.
     "One of these horseless things," said the policeman, looking at it with interest.
     "Yes," said Rolls, and waited.
     "I"ve often wanted a ride in one ; but of course policemen can"t buy things like that." He turned and looked
hopefully in Rolls"s face.
     "Jump in," said Rolls.
     "Thanks," said the policeman,and did so."Now,"he said,  sitting down,"you can let it go just as you like
down this hill. There isn"t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half."
1.The policemen were told "to look the other way" (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that _____.
A. they could watch the car coming from the other direction
B. the car could go faster than four miles an hour
C. they could make sure no one was in the way
D. the car would not hit them on the road
2. In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?
A. They greeted Rolls when the car came along.
B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.
C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.
D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.
3. The policeman who said "Good evening" to Rolls wanted to _____.
A. teach Rolls a lesson
B. take a free ride home
C. have a talk with Rolls
D. have a car ride experience
4. After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _____.
A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to
B. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance
C. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey
D. drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge
