I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.
“Which one of you did this?”
We all looked down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very frightened. I hope no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so scared. When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, dad.” The other denied(否認(rèn)) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find courage to tell the truth.
To find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words differently. I didn’t want dad to be able to tell it was me.
He gathered up our paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!
“I did it.” My sister walked forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. she was punished for a month.
We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me. I told myself, “One must see to what he or she has done.”
小題1: The writer’s father was _____________ when he saw the handwriting in chalk on the step.
A．very happyB．very sad
C．very angryD．very excited
小題2: The underlined word “take the blame” most probably means ________________ in Chinese.

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:D

小題1:．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.”，可知“父親”在高聲的喊，說明他正在生氣，故選C。
小題2:．詞義推測題。根據(jù)文章大意可知作者的姐姐替他承擔(dān)了責(zé)任，而受罰，作者一直深感愧疚。推測是“承擔(dān)責(zé)任”，故選B。
小題3:．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中父親說的“Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.”可知姐姐父親懲罰所有的人，獨(dú)自承擔(dān)責(zé)任。故選D。
小題4:．全文理解題。根據(jù)文中“Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me.”可知當(dāng)時(shí)沒有人告訴“父親”真相。故選D。

There was a pilot and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the machine while it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes(降落傘). They all became worried and started to make excuses(借口).
“I must go and mend the machine,” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do，so he jumped out.
The first person stood up. “I’m a doctor”, he said. “I help people live longer and I save lives.” He also took a parachute and jumped out.

Two men were left---an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but you’re still young.

At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖車式活動(dòng)房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.
We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.
That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow,” she replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
小題1:Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?
A．Because it was their normal work.
B．Because the family asked them to do it.
C．Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.
D．Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.
小題2:What can we learn from the story?
A．The family needed two parking spaces.
B．The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.
C．The family were excited about the beds and bedding.
D．The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.
小題3:What is the best title for this passage?
A．The PillowB．A New House
C．The FamilyD．An Interesting Program
