IV. 閱讀理解:(共20題,每小題2分,共40分)
(A)
My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(沖突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."
36. The house the writer's family lived in was ________.
A. the best they could afford           B. right for their social position
C. for showing off                   D. rather small
37. His father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.
A. it made him feel uneasy            B. it was too old to work well
C. it was too expensive to possess       D. it was too cheap
38. The writer's father enjoyed being in the middle class because ________.
A. it drew attention to him                   B. it didn't bring him in arguments
C. it was understood as a joke             D. he disliked showing off
39. What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A. He was very unhappy.                B. He didn't believe it.
C. He was delighted.                    D. He had mixed feelings.
40. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous
B. Children can go to Eton if they will
C. It is very difficult for a child to get a chance to go to Eton
D. Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton

     Austin Yowler,13,has football practice Tuesday through Thursday.His brother Kendall,8,
has soccer practice Tuesday and Friday.Both boys play their games on weekends,which
means calling time out for family dinners can be difficult for the Yowler family of Burlington.
They try to squeeze them in two to three times a week.
     "Today,everybody lives such busy lives,and dinner time is just a good time to catch up
with what everybody's doing," says the boys' father,David Yowler.
     "It's really important," his wife,Suzanne,says,"We always did it when I was a kid.You
never know what kids might tell us.They are not very ready to give information at this age,
so it's nice to get little interesting things once in a while."
     Indeed,the family dinner might be more important than many people realize."Surveys
have found that the more often children have dinners with their parents,the less likely they
are to smoke,drink or use drugs,and that parental engagement fostered around the dinner
table is one of the most powerful tools to help parents raise healthy,drugfree children," says
a report.
     Austin Yowler,an eighthgrader,says,"it's nice to just sit down with everybody once in a
while." But he adds that in the evenings he doesn't have football,"I just like to go and hang
out with my friends.Having to come home in the middle of that is just kind of..." His facial
expression finishes the thought.
      It's the conversations happening at the table-not the food being eaten-that is key,the
report says.Dinner time is the best time to strengthen family ties and learn what's going on
in each other's lives.
     "I know family dinners are important,so I tell everyone no texting,no TV and no video
games," says Deanna Eppers of Milford,whose three children are in college,high school and
sixth grade.It's OK,though,for a mom to "call" the kids to the table by texting a message.
"Otherwise," she says,"they say they don't hear me."
1 .The underlined word "they" may refer to ________.
A.busy lives
B.games
C.family dinners
D.kids
2.Why is a family dinner important?
A.Because the family can learn about each other's life.
B.Because children can enjoy delicious food at this time.
C.Because parents can teach children table manners.
D.Because children needn't do extra activities after school.
3.It can be inferred that Austin's expression was ________.
A.a(chǎn) pleasure
B.a(chǎn) pain
C.a(chǎn) joke
D.a(chǎn) duty
4.Deanna called kids to dinner table by texting a message because________.
A.she couldn't shout at the top of her voice
B.texting a message is a fashionable thing
C.sometimes the kids pretended not to hear her
D.the children may forget it even if she called them
5.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.kids like to eat family dinners
B.kids are too busy to eat dinners
C.kids are unwilling to eat at home
D.kids need those family dinners
6.用30詞左右概括文章大意
