阅读理解。     The incident took place on Sunday,the 25th Of June. On that particular day,a south wind had been
gusting (劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern,so we carried
on our daily work not suspecting what was about to happen.
     The storm gave us very little warming. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon (地平线) so
suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then,we were not really worried,as the clouds seemed
to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then,just as the clouds had moved
inland,the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.
     Instantly,we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm
before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we
could do about the corps. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older
brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above river. If
the river flooded,they should be safe there.
     In the meantime,my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of
fine service. If the tin flew off,it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying
firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows.If the storm develop into a
cyclone (旋风), the boards would protect the glass.
     The storm raged for four hours,pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As
expected. the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock. "
     Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope,the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The
animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. "All"s well that ends well," Said my mother. 1. When the black clouds appeared suddenly in the distance _____. A. the family were surprised
B. they were extremely worried
C. they were preparing for the worst
D. they faced the storm bravely 2. "There was very little we could do about the crops" indicates that _____. A. little damage would be done to the crops
B. they had everything ready for the crops
C. they felt unable to protect the crops
D. the crops should be safe enough there 3. The underlined word "stock" in the third paragraph refers to _____.A. money owned by the family
B. goods for sale
C. supplies for family use
D. farm animals . 4. It can be inferred from what the mother said that _____· A. they had no damage at all
B. everything went beyond their expectation
C. everything was under control
D. the family could have suffered a greater loss

     Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents"
home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,
where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台),
I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
     I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped
and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas
station. They said they would take me to my friend"s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got
out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
     I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present
from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
     Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car
and found that I"d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly
Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the
showroom.
     "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck
to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say
thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and
say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

A. to visit a friend

D. to have more gas for his car
2. The words "took off" underlined in Paragraph 2 mean "_____".
A. turned off

D. set up
3. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?
A. He had it pulled back to the gas station.
B. The couple sent him a business card.
C. The couple offered to help him.
D. He called his friend for help.
4. The battery of the author"s car was dead because _____.
A. something went wrong with the lights
B. the meeting lasted a whole day

     My friend, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her month-long stay
in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of
whom-Alex-used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her
new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to
read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he"d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived
just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings,
a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).
     Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to
see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting (笔迹). It turned out that the summer
before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They
decided to exchange (交换) addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was
carrying in his backpack (背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to
California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.
1. Alex lent Emma the book, Markings, _____.
A. to show his friendliness to her
B. to show his interest in reading
C. to tell her about the importance of the UN
D. to let her write her name and address inside
2. How did Emma feel the moment she opened the book?
A. Pleased.
B. Satisfied.
C. Worried.
D. Surprised.
3. We can learn from the text that the Californian _____.

A. met Emma at a concert
B. invited Emma to a concert
C. introduced Emma to his friend
D. left Emma his backpack

4. Who was supposed to be the first owner of the book?
