The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩紅熱) when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the spring time she died.
News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.
小題1:The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their _______.
A．four daughtersB．five daughters
C．son and four daughters D．son and five daughters

C．more girls than boysD．a(chǎn) lot of rich relatives

小題1:A
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:A

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段“the March sisters”可知the Marches有Meg，Jo，Amy，Beth這4個(gè)女兒。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。從第五段“Jo went to New York and became successful”和第六段“Now Jo became ever more successful”可知，Jo在姐妹中最成功。
小題3:主旨題。本文一直在講March家的女兒們從小到大的情況，因此標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是The March Girls。
小題4:推理題。從文中可知，March家的女兒長(zhǎng)大了，享受著愛(ài)的果實(shí)，過(guò)著幸福的生活；但是，Beth后來(lái)病死了。由此可知，March家有幸福也有悲傷。

It is an exciting start to the college football season. A team that many people never heard of defeated one of the best in the country. If you follow American sports, then you know we are talking about the Michigan-Appalachian State game, which took place on September 1st at Michigan Stadium, in front of more than 100,000 people.
Appalachian State University is in Boone, North Carolina. Its team often plays in a stadium that holds about 25,000 people. Also, Appalachian State plays in the Football Championship Subdivision. Michigan is in the newly named Football Bowl Subdivision, the top level of college football. So the Mountaineers of Appalachian State and the Wolverines of the University of Michigan normally do not even play each other.
But they decided to meet for the first time. Michigan agreed to pay Appalachian State 400,000 dollars, win or lose. Teams like Michigan need victories, even a victory over a lower division team, to get into big, nationally broadcast bowl games. These games are worth millions of dollars at the end of the season.
Fans expected an easy Michigan win. After all, in the preseason, sports experts had considered Michigan the fifth best college football team in the country. But Appalachian State is a two-time national champion at its own division level. Its players wanted to show they could play well against a nationally ranked team. And they did. The final score was Appalachian State thirty-four, Michigan thirty-two. The game quickly became known as one of the greatest upsets in college football history.
The win has brought national attention to Appalachian State. Local stores reported a huge increase in orders for college clothing and other items. And the university official head expects more students to seek admission next year. Last Saturday, at home, Appalachian State defeated another North Carolina school, Lenoir-Rhyne College, forty-eight to seven.
小題1:The Michigan-Appalachian State game ________.
A．is a regular competition held in the US every year
B．is a state competition held for the football championship
C．is part of a national competition held on September 1st every year
D．was an occasional football competition between two universities
小題2:Michigan wanted to play with Appalachian State because Michigan ________.
A．needed money to support its development
B．wanted to test the skills of Appalachian State
C．was a new football team without experience
D．needed victories to enter nationally broadcast bowl games
小題3:After the game, the Appalachian State University got _________.

He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the
DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."
Adapted from People, November 25, 2002
小題1:The baby travelled on the Titanic with his___________.
A．motherB．parentsC．a(chǎn)untD．relatives
小題2:What is probably the boy's last name?

小題3: Some members of the family went to Halifax and put flowers at the child's grave on Nov. 5__.
A． 1912B．1954C．2002D．2004
小題4:This text is mainly about  how______________.
A．the unknown baby's body was taken from the north Atlantic
B．the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia
C．people found out who the unknown baby was
D．people took care of the unknown baby for 90 years
