One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view (觀察) of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted non-stop between themselves. I watched them a moment and knew the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience. I met with them several times. Each time I heard her words, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended (延長) it into a long stick and then tapped (輕敲) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷句子正(T)、誤(F)。(5分)
【小題1】The young couple were at an art museum to show their love.
【小題2】“…I moved away quickly.” shows that the writer was tired of the non-stop talking.
【小題3】We can infer (推斷) from the passage that the husband couldn’t stand his wife.
【小題4】 After hearing what the clerk had said, the writer was annoyed.
【小題5】The passage is mainly about courage of a blind man and the love between the couple.

【小題5】T

解析試題分析:一天下午,我想安靜地欣賞藝術(shù)作品。但是,一對年輕夫婦一直在說話,我欽佩丈夫的耐心。同時我對他們的行為也很不滿。當我要離開藝術(shù)館的時候,服務人員說出了真象,原來那丈夫失明了,是妻子詳細地描述每一幅畫。他們的行為讓作者很感動。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。問題描述:這對年青的夫婦在藝術(shù)館展示他們的愛。不正確。通過閱讀短文得知,男子的眼睛看不見,他的妻子給他介紹每一幅畫的內(nèi)容。展示出兩人之間的耐心、相互鼓勵和純真的愛。故選F

【小題3】細節(jié)理解題。問題描述:我們能從短文中推斷出這位丈夫不能忍受他的妻子。不正確。通過服務人員的表述中得知,每次有新作品時,他們都來。因此說明,他沒有體現(xiàn)這一點。故選F
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。問題描述:作者聽了服務人員的描述之后,很生氣。不正確。分析最后一段,明確的說明,作者聽過之后,很受感動。故選F

It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family did not know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.
When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state (半清醒狀態(tài)). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”
Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “I’ll be fine, Henry.” although we both knew that wasn't true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.
Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage (勇氣) I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, “Grandpa. I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became free.
Smilingly, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family, your mother, your father, and your brother. That’s all I want of you.”
What I learned that day changed my whole life. From then on, I began telling people how much I love them, care for them, and respect them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to show my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything I’m thankful to in my life.

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?
A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗體). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.
The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.
However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增強免疫系統(tǒng)).
【小題1】If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ________.

A.a(chǎn) weekB.two weeks
C.ten daysD.twenty days
【小題2】According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?
A.It first happened in 1919.
B.It usually doesn’t give you fever.
C.It is easy to deal with.
D.It can kill people sometimes.
【小題3】If you get a flu vaccine, ________.
A.it can’t stop you from getting the flu virus
B.it won’t cause your body to develop antibodies
C.your body will develop antibodies
D.your body will get a large amount of flu viruses
【小題4】We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ________.
A.we probably have a cold in winter
B.the flu virus changes every few years
C.the flu is very dangerous
D.you don’t need to take any medicine after that
【小題5】The following ways can help stop the flu EXCEPT ________.
A.staying indoorsB.getting regular exercise
C.eating healthy foodD.washing our hands often

Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from?    【小題1】   .
I’m Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. It’s even better if someone else tells you that you’re good at something, too. When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don’t listen, I sometimes feel sad.  【小題2】   .

I don’t care if I’m the best football player, or I don’t get the highest grade on a test, or don’t succeed at everything I do.    【小題3】   . If someone says something unkind about you, you don’t mind that much because you know they’re wrong—that means you have self-confidence.
I’m Sue. I really feel good when my mum gives me a hug and says,“Have a nice day!”before I leave the house. Also, one day in a store I asked a salesman where to find something, and to my surprise, he said,“You have a beautiful smile.” For the rest of the day I was happy. These kinds of things have to come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.

A. I hope someone will care about me
B. You should remember“You can do it if you think you can.”
